Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

@Dollywilde any tips on feeling your cervix? (the general your, not specifically just your cervix 😂) - I have tried once or twice but it all just feels a bit weird and mushy up there 🙈 and this is coming from a vet - evidently when it comes to human parts I'm useless haha

@FlapJackered 😂hopefully you don't have to be too active today, waddling around

@Lola871 sorry AF got you!

Keyboard91 · 25/04/2019 08:12

@FlapJackered I never look at it anymore 😂 he does all the work, I just lie and think fertile thoughts 😂 we did it everyday for 5 days in my fertile window this cycle ... I was constantly gooey - sperm is GROSS! 😂

Keyboard91 · 25/04/2019 08:18

Oh and following on from the bloat or pregnant theme ... my trousers are literally cutting me in half today. I’m sat in my classroom with the waistband rolled down. #feelingfat #lovebeingawoman

MrsEG · 25/04/2019 08:26

@FlapJackered Ha! DH insisted we go to the midnight Avengers showing at the cinema last night, didn’t get home til 4am... I’m currently wide awake ready to jump on him as soon as his eyes open! Happy waddling!

@Lola871 So sorry AF got you, hope you’re feeling okay.

CD12 today, still cracking on with the SMEP plan but no flashing smileys or temp drop just yet. My guess is I will ovulate on Monday though so cracking on with every other day until then! Has anyone ever had sore boobs before ov? I can’t say I’ve ever noticed it before but they feel really sore and heavy this morning. @Tropicana1 I wouldn’t have a scooby now to feel my cervix either - if it wasn’t for the invention of OPKs I’m not sure I’d have a clue!!

Meenabeena · 25/04/2019 09:00

Morning ladies
It's 6 days PO for me and I don't feel any different. This is torture Confused

Dollywilde · 25/04/2019 10:00

@tropicana1 haha, I’m sort of obsessed with my cervix (god the things I never thought I’d say!) - I had a laser procedure on it 2 years ago due to a worrying smear test result and became rather familiar with it at the time, having ignored it for my life until that point!

I’m not great at the hard/soft thing, it’s more that I’ve got quite used to clocking whether it’s high or low (tmi - frankly just by how far in I need to go before I can feel it!) My understanding is that it being high when AF is nearly due could be a good sign for me, but there a strong risk I’m just seeing what I want to (or rather feeling what I want to...)

Thanks for the birthday wishes @keyboard91 Smile

Have a cracking headache today. Of course I’m convinced it’s a pregnancy headache, and not a perfectly normal reaction to the bottle of wine I drank at my birthday dinner... 🤦‍♀️

KatBeCool · 25/04/2019 10:48

@MrsEG I am going to the midnight showing of Avengers! I know I'll see spoilers somewhere immediately if I don't.

@FlapJackered it did, and it skyrocketed. I measured it at least a dozen of times in disbelief. I'm still not fully trusting it, maybe I was hot or didn't sleep well. But my boobs are a bit sore, so it's somewhat telling. Starting progesterone today. Told DH yesterday that I'm about to start the cranky hormones, he wasn't thrilled, he knows what's about to come.

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 10:59

@tropicana1 thank you! I’m sure I’ll update the thread either way

@Lola871 sorry AF arrived 😔

@Dollywilde hope you had a lovely birthday! 😂 hopefully that’s not the reason for the headache!

I’m getting so impatient waiting until Saturday to test 😂 I’ve been really busy since ov but today I’m terrible 🙈 I haven’t really symptom spotted this cycle so haven’t noticed anything. I’m really tired this week, but I think that’s just normal. Just need to try and relax for the next 2 days and be patient 🙄

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 11:01

@KatBeCool I’m going to see Avengers this evening too! Can’t wait! Trying to avoid people that went at midnight and leaving the radio off just in case 🙊

Jessikka · 25/04/2019 11:01

I have a suspicion this is going to be a very looooong cycle. I'm cd23. Cycles have varied between 23-27 days.

This day last month I started having pink Cm and started to lightly spot. Today, nothing.
I've had no cramps and signs other than a few minutes of sore boobs a few days ago.

I didn't OPK and temp all month so not sure I caught ovulation ... but this morning I randomly took my temp just to see what range it was In. I can't look for a pattern etc I know that as it's one random temp... but by cd23 every other month my temps have been low by now ready for AF.... that one temp this morning was sky high.

I have a funny feeling this cycle is going to drag on longer than the others and I'm going to be banging my head on the wall!!

MrsEG · 25/04/2019 11:07

@KatBeCool It’s so so good! Me and DH are big marvel fans and we both cried. You’ll love it! Wouldn’t mind trying to make some babies with Captain America...

Dollywilde · 25/04/2019 11:30

Thanks @hannah192! Looks like we are cycle buddies, I’m also holding out to Saturday morning if AF doesn’t appear before then Smile fingers crossed for us!

Keyboard91 · 25/04/2019 11:43

Ran to the loo after a lesson as I thought I was bleeding or something... found a lovely pool of fresh looking discharge! It’s creamy looking, slightly off white (I don’t want to say brown ... but it’s not far off brown...). 6dpo. Also have tender boobs... but not as tender as I remember they got before my MC ... but then I can’t really remember exactly what I felt during that TWW as didn’t record everything then! Bloody symptom spotting!!!

cupcakesandglitter · 25/04/2019 12:11

@MrsEG @KatBeCool @Hannah192 We went to the double bill of Avengers last night ooooooooh my god you'll love it!!! Another crier here too, was so flipping amazing we're going again 😂😂😂

@Keyboard91 I've got fuller boobs too, and sore nipples. I know it's easier said than done but try not to feel to anxious about it, only six days to go until you find out xxx

@FlapJackered I remember this from last time 😂😂😂 poor DHs willy! Are you going to do it every day until a temp rise? Xx

@KatBeCool woooo glad you got your temp rise!!! DH will just have to treat you extra nicely 😂😂 xx

FlapJackered · 25/04/2019 13:50

@cupcakesandglitter that's the plan! Really hoping my temp goes up tomorrow though. 🙈 what cd are you on now?
DH wants me to go to Avengers with him, are there any of the films I need to see before I go? I haven't seen many of the marvel films, but DH wants me to go with him.

@KatBeCool hurrah for the temp rise!! Your DH needs to get used to it for when you get pregnant!

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 13:52

@Dollywilde ooo exciting! Fx for us both! Although, I’ve just had a little bit of cramping... so I’m worried AF is going to show early 😩 I have noticed I’m usually spotty on my chin when she’s on her way and I don’t have that yet... I think I’m just kidding myself 😂

@cupcakesandglitter ahhh that makes me so excited!!! I watched the previous one at the weekend for a refresh! Cannot wait! I’m sure we will be going at least twice 🙊

cupcakesandglitter · 25/04/2019 14:07

@FlapJackered fingers crossed it will!! And then mini Flap (hahahahahahahhaha) can have a rest 😂 I'm CD22, not having sex with DH until next cycle which is proving to be extremely difficult!! Also definitely watch Avengers Infinity War before hand so you're all caught up xx

@Hannah192 enjoy every second!!!!!!!! Xx

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 14:12

@cupcakesandglitter thank you!!!

Sorry if tmi.. if your cm increases just before AF is due, does this mean it’s more likely she’s on her way than being pregs? Because mine has 🙈 I looked on google and that says yes, so I think that’s a sign I’m getting AF 😔

Fivebyfive2 · 25/04/2019 14:31

@Hannah192,not to give false hope, but I got loads of, why I called 'the damp' in the days leading up to af being due, the cycle I got my bfp... However, apparently it is not one of the more common signs. Fingers crossed for you though!!

We're seeing Avengers Saturday night, as promised my bro and his gf we'd all go together. So excited!!

OK, I've officially lost it, I'm looking at baby stuff! Need to step away from the Internet!!

Xxx

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 14:54

@Fivebyfive2 ahh ok thank you. I think after looking on google I’d lost hope for this cycle but at least it sounds like there’s still a chance 🤞🏼
I’m exactly the same!! I think when I was on my second cycle ttc I literally made a wish list of all that I wanted 😂 I’ve deleted that list now so I can actually enjoy it when it happens 🙄
Enjoy avengers on Saturday!

Dollywilde · 25/04/2019 15:14

@hannah192 good to hear no spots, that’s got to be a good sign!

I’ve been to the loo to check for AF three times today, my colleague’s going to think I’ve got a stomach upset or something Grin my cycle varies from 29 - 32 days and today is day 30 so could be whenever I guess.

Why do AF symptoms have to be similar to PG symptoms Angry

thumper59 · 25/04/2019 15:19

Afternoon ladies, hope your all well! I'm just marking my place again if you don't mind because I'm always checking back to see how you all are and for any more bfps! I can't let go of these threads! Fingers crossed and baby dust to you all 😚

Tropicana1 · 25/04/2019 15:19

@Keyboard91 I have a lot of creamy CM today too! Also seem to be having a hormonal outbreak - usually have really good skin but the last few days I've been getting little outbreaks. Probably just all the crap I ate over Easter but I will persist with my symptom spotting haha

dahlia123 · 25/04/2019 15:43

And I'm out! Day one of cycle 5 for me then. Woke up feeling like it might be, and just confirmed.

Fingers crossed for anyone still in with a chance!

daisiesandpeonies · 25/04/2019 17:03

It's CD 12 and feel weird about TTC this month now that I know I'm probably polycystic not ovulating.... But think I shouldn't 'waste' a month argh I don't know...
