Hi girls, started new thread because the old one is running out.

@Makeafamily19

Been having twinges since yesterday, no AF but quite a lot of EWCM.

Maybe you are ovulating @Imadreamer44 ? You can ovulate before you get your first AF off the pill I think.

I think you might be right @Makeafamily19, especially with the mini pill. I need to get some ovulation tests.

Has everyone else had a good weekend?

Hi all, hope I can join

I'm on CD1 today, AF came on time but it didn't hurt less. I was really convinced this was my cycle. I had brown spotting for six days starting at 9dpo, so I thought that would be implantation bleeding but AF greeted me this morning with full flow... nice!

This is cycle #3. I tried before for three cycles last year, and that would make it #6 in total, but lets say 3 and make it less daunting.

I was a long time lurker, but today AF made me so sad that I thought I need to have this feelings out of my chest.

In a bright and more positive note, I decided I'm going to start SMEP this cycle. I have a digi clearblue ovulation test so let's see how it goes. Is any of you trying this method?

8dpo today, just got a load of creamy white cm and a faint tinge of pink, I've also got a shooting pain on my right hand side every so often..

Please please let this be implantation!!

@claireb707 that sounds positive, fingers crossed for you!

I’m guessing I’m around 9-11 dpo (based purely on apps), did an IC this morning which was negative. This afternoon, genuinely felt like either I’d wet myself or AF had arrived due to watery CM. Not sure if that’s a good sign or just a precursor to AF arriving, anyone know? Just starting to track my CM.

Welcome @LunaLlena I know what you mean, it's such a rollercoaster of emotions. I hope you are feeling a bit better today.

@jemx CM can vary from person to person anyway so I think it's very hard to tell! Especially after ovulation everyone seems to get a mixture of different CM!

Morning ladies how are we all? x is anyone coming up to testing/af day? Sorry had a busy weekend so wasn’t active here x
According to my apps I am either 2DPO or O day today, with af due 9/10 of November x I’ve been using opks since Wednesday which was CD 10, but haven’t seen a peak yet :( maybe I’ve missed it or I’m doing something wrong x I hope I will not ovulate later than today/tomorrow because my OH is going to Holland tomorrow with work for 2 days and not coming back till Thursday evening :(

I'm now 9dpo trying to decide when to test

@claireb707 any symptoms apart from fatigue? fingers crossed for you!! x
I’ve just done an opk and this is the result. I think if I didn’t ovulate yet I probably will in the next couple of days when my OH is away, so not much chance of this being my cycle :(

Lots and lots of creamy cm tinged with pink over last 2 days, a bit crampy yesterday but not like period cramps, got a little fluttering feeling last night and my oh said I was grumpy yesterday (although I don't agree)

@Makeafamily19 Yes, it's like I'm a new person today, thank you! I'm normally very positive, I swear

How long have you left that test before reading it? I found mine got darker after 2 mins so between 3 and 5 mins

@claireb707 pink tinge could be due to implantation!! So exiting, I hope this is it for you x I’d wait until you’re at least 11-12 DPO, when is your af due? x
I took photo of that opk about 6 minutes after peeing on it lol x

@Katie1109 Any possibility you can dtd today? In that case you will be covered.

Ah ok, try again later today then?

Well according to the app I'm due on in 18 days 😂 as I ovulated early so not sure

Sorry app says 14 days not 18

@LunaLlena hi! Yes possibly, although we DTD last 4 days so unsure if my OH will be up for it again x I’ll do my best though lol x
@claireb707 I always thought that af comes 14 days after O day, isn’t that regardless of when you O? x which would mean you should get af in 5 days if you’re 9DPO today? x

No its different for every one...

I appear to have short ovulatory phase long luteal phase

My last period came 21 days after ovulation

@claireb707 I'd probably test at 12DPO but the longer you hold out the less chance of false negative. Depends on your willpower 😆

Will power hmmm whats that 😂😂 there's a reason I'm a bit porky (loves food especially chocolate)

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing okay. Been a bit absent as I drove myself crazy last month symptom spotting and reading so many TTC posts/forums.

I think I'm 8DPO today.

I caught the start of my LH surge on Friday evening (13th Nov) with an internet cheapy. Had a static smiley with the advanced CB digital OPK on Sat 14th with FMU. We managed to BD on the 11th, 14th and 15th so I'm really hoping we managed to catch ovulation this month.

I've not really noticed any symptoms, think I might have had a twinge over the weekend just gone but nothing significant for me to think it's anything. Had no CM signs of implantation. So who knows.

I think AF is due Fri/Sat so I'll only bother testing if it's late. My AF used to be around 25-27 days but last cycle was 29 days so still not 100% what's going on there or what'll happen this month ...

Would you ladies say that’s my peak?
