@Gems7 Morning lovely! Hahaha you sound like me. I feel the same. I'm going with Wednesday as 1DPO as the Flo app says O is tomorrow for me. Although I think it's happening now. I'm a bit crampy. Just need to spot that EWCM now 👀👀👀 yes definitely similar, I think my cycles may vary from month to month two - by different ovary. But then, who knows. I'm quite regular at 28-30 days and quite in-tune with my body, so that helps! Hurrah, 21st sounds good. I'm due 23rd so will test then, not far behind you. Hoping all is well this month, hurrah! Feeling very positive today. No, I don't use OPKs either, just going by my body and my cycle. I usually do get pains, yes. Had those few twinges Friday night/Saturday day like pulling feelings. Now I'm a bit crampy all over - very light. So I think it's now or very very soon! Which is exciting.

@Gigi318 hey chick! Loving the positivvibes! Hope you see EWCM soon too!
I dont know whether to class myself as 1dpo or 2dpo either! Yesterday I got more EWCM?? Huhhh I was like wtf I normally only get it for one day! And oddly enough I used to get sore nipples as a post ovulation symptom bit the past 2 to 3 months I hadn't been getting it just shooting pains which is so weird? Lol anyway I know it's not preggo symptoms this early but what I mean is maybe this month was a really fertile month Haha fingers crossed!!
All pains and EWCM seemed to have stopped now
@Gems7 hope you're okay, yes your body messes with you!! Jesus I'm so done with it right now 🤣 let's hope we all get good news this month woohoo!!

Gigi318 · 07/10/2019 13:46

@Ellsbells112 Happy Monday babe! Thank you, hope you're feeling positive too! I hope so too. I'm sure I will. I'm feeling all crampy so 🤞🏻💫 Yessss, so odd how we notice different symptoms and changes, isn't it! I usually get a dull ache, sort of have that now, but also had twinges on Friday, which I think I noticed last month. So bizarre. My boobs feel tender and heavy which is normal for me! Yes really hoping it's a really fertile month for you, me too. I feel like I've given this month a much better chance so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ellsbells112 · 07/10/2019 14:30

@Gigi318 yeah you and me both, we've done it so much this this time instead of every other day. Even last night when o saw more EWCM I was like righttttt back to work haha! Let's really hope so chick! 🤞🤞🤞

Anny27 · 07/10/2019 15:20

When are all of you going to test? 🤞🤞🤞

Gigi318 · 07/10/2019 16:12

@Ellsbells112 hehehe I love it. I will be doing that, that's for sure. If I see a EWs then I shall be diving on OH when he is home. Hopefully it comes today and I'll be happy. Or tomorrow really. He is back Thursday so not too bad!

@Anny27 I am testing on 23rd babe. How are you doing? Feeling good? X

Ellsbells112 · 07/10/2019 17:32

@Anny27 I'm really going to try and not test till I'm late because I can't deal with the disappointment. I've got no pregnancy tests available at hand to make it easier lol so I am not pregnant until my period does not come in my books! Unless I'm puking everywhere 🤣🤞 you? X

Anny27 · 07/10/2019 17:38

@ellsbells112 and @Gigi318 you both have willpower haha! Last month i was determined not to test untill af due but at 12dpo i felt weird so took the test haha!

Its so hard to wait so really admire you if you manage it!!

Gigi318 · 07/10/2019 17:45

@Anny27 I just really don't like the idea of seeing BFNs because it's too early - or worse, getting a BFP for it to fade away. I'm an emotional wreck so I feel that would not be good for me. I'd much rather wait it out! You're so good. BUT I do agree that if I felt off, then I may test early. But don't think I would ever do before 12DPO.

How are you feeling now? Any bad sickness??

Anny27 · 07/10/2019 18:17

@gigi318 thats true, i hated seeing negatives the 3 months before!! I am not doing too bad, only slightly nauseous if i am hungry but it usually starts week 6/7 and i am week 6 now so could be anytime!

Gigi318 · 07/10/2019 19:05

@Anny27 exactly, and I've had two months of looking at BFNs (although first month wasn't actively TTC, and last month I was so green) and I want to avoid doing that again 😞 Oh that's good, I hope it doesn't get too bad for you. I also really hope I'm not going to het bad nausea. I suffer badly with motion sickness, so maybe that's wishful thinking 🙈

Laur89 · 07/10/2019 21:02

Hey girls! How are you all? So I had a peak on my ovulation test late this afternoon, all day I've been having really crampy feelings and it's been worse this evening - almost feels like Af is arriving! What is that about? Is that a sign of ovulation? I don't remember it being so painful last month 😆

Ellsbells112 · 07/10/2019 21:36

@Laur89 hey hunnie! Hmm I dont know! What kind of cramps? I only get aches on the side I'm ovulating from when I'm due to ovulate. When are you due to ovulate?? X

Gigi318 · 07/10/2019 21:47

@Laur89 that sounds normal to me chick. I usually get cramps like that too. Have had them on and off today. Yay to reaching your peak. I think I have today too, but Flo says it should be tomorrow so will count Weds as 1DPO. How exciting! You may find it differs each month depending on the ovary in use, I've heard a lot of people say that!

Robbo93 · 08/10/2019 07:37

Morning ladies, an estimated 3DPO for me but still no positive OPK.
Strange thing last night tho.. I was sooo 'wet' down there (just watching tv, Nothing to trigger it!) just as I thought it was clearing up but DH didn't want to DTD so wasted a potential chance if it meant anything 😢

So, so, unbelievably tired this morning though. 😴

Hope you're all okay xx

Gigi318 · 08/10/2019 09:17

Morning everyone! How are we all?

@Robbo93 that could have been a good sign but try not to worry so much because I think you can still have wet CM post O. Just try to relax as much as you can. Did you DTD this morning? If not, maybe try tonight? I'm due to O today, so hopefully I spot some EWs. Have been having watery CM since around Fri/Sat though, so I think I'm covered!

Laur89 · 08/10/2019 09:46

@Ellsbells112 just cramps all over the bottom of my tummy, it wasn't just one side it was all over which I felt was odd, but today I feel fine - I think I must have ovulated yesterday 🤷‍♀️ so think today is 1DPO maybe?! 😆

@Gigi318 that's interesting to hear that lots of people feel it all over then, have you had O pain today?

OP posts:
Robbo93 · 08/10/2019 10:17

@Gigi318 nope, he leaves at 5/5:30 so I'm still in the land of nod haha! We DTD Sunday morn and he struggles to 'produce' again for like 2 days unless we're at it for hours and I can't be doing with that 😂 I can try DTD tonight - I think he gets knackered leaving early and not coming home til like 7pm so it kinda sucks lol xx

Gigi318 · 08/10/2019 10:46

@Robbo93 oh yes, 5am action isn't the one! I know the feeling, OH has been really busy with work the last few weeks and then poorly, I felt so sorry for him. But he is right as rain again now. Hurrah! Try not to worry so much, you'll have swimmers meandering about from Sunday so that's all good. And remember they can last for up to 5 days. AND it takes time for them to reach the egg. So before is always best 🙌🏻
Now we both just need to switch off for two weeks. What TV series or book or hobby to start for two weeks 🤔 hehehe!

Ellsbells112 · 08/10/2019 10:50

@Robbo93 the one time when them taking too long is a bad thing is this bloody fertile week!!!! 🤣🤣 jesus the struggle

Robbo93 · 08/10/2019 11:35

@Ellsbells112 @Gigi318 😂😂
Is it bad I hate it going on for too long .. ever?
Half hour I'm done.. get off me lol 😆 but yes, in the fertile week it's a killer I thought we was done now I've gotta squeeze another one in tonight potentially fml 🙈

Ellsbells112 · 08/10/2019 11:41

@Gigi318 @Robbo93 honestly it's so true I keep telling my other half that a great 20 min session is best 🤣🤣 the thing is though I never have to go on for the whole time because once I'm done I'll just finish him.another way normally hahahah

Robbo93 · 08/10/2019 11:47

@Ellsbells112 love it!!!! Darn us needing the sperm atm 😂😂

Ellsbells112 · 08/10/2019 11:55

@Robbo93 I'm telling you 🤣🤣 but hes really trying bless him 🤦‍♀️ I'm hoping this is the last month of the struggle lmao

Gems7 · 08/10/2019 13:49

I thought I was done too and OH was away last night so haven't DTD since Sunday morning.. BUT.. I have had lots of creamy CM this morning.. what does that mean? I know it means that whatever plans he had for this evening have just gone out of the windows because he has a job to do! 🤣 Just Incase I haven't already ovulated!

I love this thread! It's comforting to know you guys are all going through the same madness! Haha xx
