@Luxoire hi 😊

Aww that sounds like good news then, sat her patiently waiting for it to arrive haha 😂

I've felt strange really symptoms like a period is due cramps, back pain and mood swings but don't know if that's just a mix of hormones as my body gets back to normal?

dancingqueen03 · 14/08/2019 19:39

@HappyGirl86 sorry just getting use to Mumsnet only just learned to tag people 🙈

HappyGirl86 · 14/08/2019 19:54

That's exactly how I felt @dancingqueen03

Luxoire · 14/08/2019 20:06

@HappyGirl86 yay!! Here's to hoping our fertile window stays strong and we catch when we want to... I know it spunds really bad but my lot are really loolimg fwd to the holiday and I am hoping Thursday next week comes round quickly so i cam stop the pill...he just actually reminded me to remember to take my pill...this is the first time in 10yrs he's EVER remembered to remind me Grin

@dancingqueen03 welcome to the fun mad house babe!! Great to have u on baord...i havent come off my mini pill yet...change of plans from DH has meant I am on them till after our hols next Thursday....sounds like you and @HappyGirl86 seem to be having similar symptoms..keep posting here and asking these seasoned ladies questions I am sure they will be more than happy to help.

@Happygirl86 I have had a 'heavy' (for lack of a better word) feeling under my belly...i wonder if thats my ovaries getting ready to pop out and egg?! I am off to test...cos didnt u ladies say peak hormone is evening?! Hahahah

@chaosonthehorizon...I thibk i am more worried about my sanity tbh...i think my middle child will be fine. He is lovong and nurturing and compassionate...its my DD the first one she has classic 1st child syndrome and its not easing...i kind of asked her how she would feel with another sibling. She said if it were a girl she'd allow it come home but definitely NOT a boy bcos she does not want another brother she has had enough and it will just have to go back where it came from or stay in hospital...i told her beggers cant be choosers we take which ever God gives us...even though i am secretly praying for a not because my daughter is my most challenging child to date

@HappyGirl86 No problem glad I could help. Nice to talk about it with others as noone else knows we are TTC go go go with DTD more times the better during window
@Luxoire hope the Ovia app helps you too

@dancingqueen03 hello and welcome to the madness lol I was also on the POP cerelle had been on it for years stopped taking it end of June and 4 weeks later had my first period with all the usual feeling crap emotional backache etc

HappyGirl86 · 14/08/2019 20:28

Hi @Chaosonthehorizon nice to have you here too!

Chaosonthehorizon · 14/08/2019 20:48

luxoire other way around for me, maybe girls are trickier?!

Luxoire · 14/08/2019 21:22

Morning ladies,

Hope your all doing well, I've got a random one, would you say this opk is positive or...?

Any advice would be nice haha!

MrsSkr · 15/08/2019 14:33

Hi @destiny25 I'd say not quite yet, I'm sure the lines need to be the same darkness as each other so I think your getting close. I'd test again this afternoon. Good luck!! xx

Blossomingflower94 · 15/08/2019 14:55

@destiny25 I think you should re test later today ...

Advice please! I've been using OPK's just to get used to testing before starting SMEP this month. What do you all think constitutes FMU when you work night shifts?! Is it when I wake up or is it 'actual morning' Grin So confused! Today I did two to just compare and the afternoon one when I woke up was darker.

LazyDogFox · 15/08/2019 15:04

Hi ladies please could I join you? I’m fresh off the pill yesterday but still had semi regular bleeds and on day six of my period. Hoping to conceive December for a September baby but I know it doesn’t happen like that!
I’m 26 and as of the end of my period will be TTC baby number 1 😊

MrsSkr · 15/08/2019 15:20

@blossomingflower94 I think it's just the longest held wee of the day. It's most concentrated in the morning as you've held it all night but obviously on a night shift that will be different. Tbh though, if been thinking back and I seem to remember last time I got stronger opks around dinner time for some reason, not sure how that works xx

MrsSkr · 15/08/2019 15:21

Welcome @LazyDogFox it's all so exciting isnt it! Good luck! Xx

Destiny25 · 15/08/2019 15:34

@MrsSkr @Blossomingflower94 so I've just tested again and it looks darker not sure if it's my eyes.Picture below..
however my stretchy cm has blood in it TMI sorry and I've got back ache like I'm coming on AF. God knows what's happening!

Blossomingflower94 · 15/08/2019 15:41

@destiny25 have you got the premom app? if you take a photo of your OPK's it tells you if its a + or - :)

MrsSkr · 15/08/2019 15:54

@Destiny25 I'd definitely say it's getting darker. I have the femometer app, think it sounds similar to premom, you upload the photo and it tells you if its positive or negative. I dont think its positive yet but definitely on the way, if I was you I'd start dtd and test again maybe tonight and tomorrow morning? Not sure about the cm though sorry xx

Blossomingflower94 · 15/08/2019 16:35

@mrsSkr Thank you! I'm just going to test twice a day until I get a + this month. Then next month (if needed) ill start a bit later in the month.

Destiny25 · 15/08/2019 17:13

I've just downloaded that app and it says high but for some reason I just feel like it's AF on its way. I think I'm going to sit this month out and just let my body get back on track as it's just driving my insane every little thing or twinge and I'm googling 😂 thank you for the app tho!

HappyGirl86 · 15/08/2019 18:37

Welcome @LazyDogFox nice to have you here! I hope you have a nice smooth journey Smile

HappyGirl86 · 15/08/2019 18:40

Looks like it's almost positive if not already positive @Destiny25 worth trying now anyway if you can Smile

My ovulation sticks today are still saying negative despite the fact I'm in my "fertile" window, although this evening I've got egg white mucusy discharge (sorry TMI!!) so I'm hoping that's a good sign. At the moment we are just DTD every other day until I get a positive on the ovulation sticks.

How's everyone else?

LazyDogFox · 15/08/2019 18:42

@MrsSkr thank you! Yes I’m so excited we have been thinking about it for a while and putting it off for this reason or the next. So glad we have decided to bite the bullet and try! Xx

wannabemum38 · 15/08/2019 19:32

@HappyGirl86 I had faint lines in fertile window for two days then on third day it was positive gradually getting darker. I had EWCM on day two of my fertile window as well as some on day I ovulated so just keep testing your positive test is round the corner!
I've had backache all afternoon and lower pelvic cramps. Keep getting weird taste in my.mouth in evening too but I'm trying not to read too much into it it's so hard this waiting game!

HappyGirl86 · 15/08/2019 19:52

Ah thanks @wannabemum38 that does reassure me!

How long have you got left to wait? I've got no patience! I'm useless at waiting for anything.....I don't even have patience waiting for ovulation haha
