I feel for all those on the TWW. It really is horrendous. I will never test early again after feeling horrendous when faced with bfn's. I get the temptation to test early though... it's strong!

Anyway.... no idea what's going on with me this month. I usually get a positive OPK cd13/14. I'm currently on cd20 and had no positive OPK. No idea what temps doing either. Can anyone tell me what they think pls?! I'm miffed!

@mumof1hants sorry I have no experience with temps but didn't want to ignore you sure someone will be along soon

@november90 I feel surprisingly ok we only dtd the day after ovulation so I know my chances his morn are slim to none !

Going to try opks next month as just been tracking with apps until now and it's useless x

@mrssunshinexxx I feel ur pain with the apps. AF is due anytime between 25 July and 1 Aug for me according to them. Although 1 Aug would be a 35 day cycle which I've never had!! X

Macbless · 17/07/2019 20:42

@mumof1hants I hope it helps and I may just be telling you stuff you already know.... I have been temping for over a year previously as contraception and now to try and conceive. It's hard to say what's going on with only one month of temps. I use natural cycles, the things they say can can affect temps are alcohol (more than 2 alcoholic drinks), going to sleep 2hrs different to normal or not checking the temps at the same time (with in a two hour window), or illness, also not putting the thermometer right to the back of your mouth with it sealed and taking your temp as soon as you wake up.
If you have done all those things then perhaps you've not ovulated yet, although why that would happen - I don't know! Sorry xx

november90 · 17/07/2019 20:43

@mrssunshinexxx I had the one step opk this month but they were so inconsistent so I got some from Asda to put me on which were 5 for £8 and they were much better... but a bit pricey if you're not regular like me. I've been told that wondfo are much better then one step and quite cheap from amazon! I'll definitely be getting them next month :)

mrssunshinexxx · 17/07/2019 21:12

So frustrating because this is the most dtd we have managed in fertile weeks but I'm sureeee I ovulated last Thursday

Thank u @Macbless. I'm not great at doing any of those things... I wake up a fair bit in the night and my partner works shifts so I get disturbed too. Maybe temping isn't for me. I don't know why I didn't get a positive opk tho. Maybe I just missed it. So hard to do them at work. I'm worried I have t ovulated tho 😢 Going to keep DTD till AF arrives I guess. I don't hold out much hope this month though.

mumof1hants · 17/07/2019 21:49

@mrssunshinexxx why do u think last thurs?

Macbless · 17/07/2019 21:59

@mumof1hants I have to say I find OPK quite tricky. I’ve tried a couple of months (before properly TTC to see how it worked) and got some faint lines that disappeared. Last month it was the first time I actually got a positive. I usually do them straight after work but the time I got positive was late morning as it was a weekend.
I have read on here that the CB OPK you can use with first morning urine so I am going to use those in the morning before work and the cheaper ones in the evening. I agree it would be really difficult to do them at work.
Sounds like you have it covered tho by all the DTD -
I really hope your persistence pays off xx

mrssunshinexxx · 17/07/2019 22:02

@mumof1hants because I had actually quite painful pains moat of that day in the left ovary area x

OP posts:
mumof1hants · 17/07/2019 22:05

@Macbless I was thinking of trying the cb digital next month too as the IC aren't the most reliable. I get stronger lines around 10am usually but can't test then at work. My longest ever cycle is 31 days. That would be the 28th... I guess I wait and see if AF appears! Thank u for the good wishes too x

@mrssunshinexxx ah I see!! Fingers crossed for u either way x

Sophieb15 · 17/07/2019 23:14

@mumof1hants our cycles are really similar this month I think I only O on CD 19/20 which is very late for me had strong O pains Mon evening and Tuesday. Ran out of CB fri and can't afford to be buying more they really break the bank 🙈 so used cheapies got strong positive mon morning and faded a lot Tue morning. We only DTD once on CD 16 so I know I'm out this month but think I will just let it happen and not force it cos that wasn't working and it was stressing me and OH out.

How much DTD did ye get in? You more than likely did O just didn't catch it with the cheapies at the right time there seems to be a very short window with them!

mumof1hants · 18/07/2019 06:27

We really do have similar cycles @Sophieb15. It's stressing me out too, I've felt more relaxed this month not getting a positive OPK actually! Takes the pressure off having to DTD loads when the positive shows!

We have DTD quite a lot... cd8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 20. So if I did ovulate I'm confident there's still a chance... do u think so too? I've no idea when to expect AF now though! X

november90 · 18/07/2019 07:33

Af not due yet but getting all the typical signs she's on her way! Nightmares, indigestion (woke up with it during the night!!) and feeling a bit uncomfortable down there! I don't feel pregnant at all either so I just have a massive feeling this isn't my month! Anyone else feeling the same?

Rosetinted47 · 18/07/2019 07:40

AF cramps have started, expecting her to show tomorrow. Cycle day 26 and I don't understand why my cycles are getting shorter.

But that's it for me now, we tried for a while for DC3 and I'm finding the whole thing really upsetting. So I'm hopping off the busses til next year. Good luck to you all x

Tamalama · 18/07/2019 07:49

I think I'm out this month ☹️ I'm 11dpo and have the beginnings of af cramping and my usual af symptoms 😕

Tamalama · 18/07/2019 07:51

I'm sorry to hear that @Rosetinted47 I know how you feel. If I do come on, next cycle will be Cycle 5. The whole process is just draining and an emotional rollercoaster.

mrssunshinexxx · 18/07/2019 08:02

@Rosetinted47 so sorry to hear that it's awful to wake up to these messages why isn't it happening for us ! Take good care of yourself it's a huge thing

@Tamalama

@november90
nooooooo you aren't out yet think positive thought

OP posts:
Sophieb15 · 18/07/2019 08:19

@mumof1hants ye are def covered anyway so you def have a chance. Just expect AF on CD 31 which was your longest cycle and then take a test if you don't get them then is all you can do!

mrssunshinexxx · 18/07/2019 08:29

Can someone tell me what should be happening regarding discharge ? Or what would be good signs ?
I am in tww ... sorry I am clueless

Rosetinted47 · 18/07/2019 08:57

Err guys. My boobs are leaking.

Just getting dressed and my left nipple was a bit crusty (sorry tmi) and so I squeezed it and this clear liquid came out with a slight yellow tinge. Do I freaked, Googled, not very good things came up. Then squeezed right boob and milk came out. I was around newborns yesterday could it be my body tricking me?

sao811 · 18/07/2019 09:23

@rosetinted47 Ive never known of that to happen hopefully its a good sign!

I think AF is on its way, cramps started yesterday 😢 woke up this morning feelimg so unwell my throat is so sore which makes.me feel even more low. Worrying bc we've had some bad family news so the last thing my partner is wanting is to discuss ttc, feel like its.gonna be months feel so dowm today

mrssunshinexxx · 18/07/2019 10:05

@sao811 that's rubbish and I really feel for you it's so so hard I never thought this experience would be anything but happy/exciting

Now I think about if I do get pregnant I will be constantly worried about loosing it

OP posts:
mrssunshinexxx · 18/07/2019 10:05

Losing !

OP posts:
sao811 · 18/07/2019 11:14

@mrssunshinexxx yeah same. Think I've just been quite naive in thinking it'd happen straight away with us being caught by surprise with DD, maybe im just extra sulky and feeling more.sorry for myself because I'm unwell idk
