Just looking for buddies to get me through the tww..

My app says I’m 2dpo but didn’t catch my exact peak just high fertility on clear blue and used cheapies to back up!

Having cramps and sore breasts but could still be ovulation?

Have been trying since around July 💗

I think all is definitely ok @HanG.

amysara24 · 11/11/2019 08:28

@Sunflower2019 this was my first cycle with Clomid so I suppose that probably has something to do with it!
Well if this is my bfp, then I had white discharge, cramping, bleeding, sensitive nipples and both extremes of bowel movement so those could be good signs!

Ellsbells112 · 11/11/2019 08:33

@HanG when you say one of your first signs was your cm, what was it? I was dry up until 7dpo then had really creamy cm (not usual for me but may be a weird month) and then yesterday it was like stringy and white but not like egg whites when I checked my cervix (sorry tmi) in the morning but then throughout the day went to very little cm again? Similar to you??

Ellsbells112 · 11/11/2019 08:34

@sunflower2019
Sorry You're ill ❤
I just wish I had some sort of sickness feeling or really sore boobs but I've got nothing 😭 yesterday was crampy and a headache but that could be so normal lol urghhh

Sunflower2019 · 11/11/2019 08:46

I’m In bed feeling sorry for myself, got shopping being delivered around 11-1 so can’t be completely lazy but think I’m going to go make a coffee and get back into bed for a while! So congested!

I don’t have sore boobs at all @Ellsbells112 I still think I’m out and this is just an injury through sex to be honest I’m happier it’s not af because it would of meant my lp was 7 days.. just want to start a fresh cycle so I know what’s actually going on!

Have ordered some progesterone cream as well as I’ve heard that can help, we will see!

@amysara24 Does the dr just give you a prescription for it if you’ve been trying a while then or? All my bloods and swabs came back fine but then I read a bleed isn’t normal after sex!

@Ellsbells112 when I was last pregnant I noticed a huge amount of cm one day, and I was shocked, yesterday I had a patch of really thick Cm but if this is af slowly appearing it could be that!

Sorry you're feeling grim @Sunflower2019. Going back to bed sounds great.

WooMaWang · 11/11/2019 08:50

I don't really have sore boobs at all either. Other than the slight snuffliness and slow moving bowels, I feel normal. Last month I had sore boobs in the run up to AF.

I hate not knowing. Yet, I'm waiting to test because possibly pregnant is better than BFN.

Sunflower2019 · 11/11/2019 08:57

@WooMaWang yes agreed, best to wait it out now, I only done that ic because I was so shocked I had started af! We will see what the day brings :)

Thanks!!! I’ve not had a cold in a while, just typical as I had all last week off, anyway not back till Wednesday so will try relax up until then :)

Are you going to test tomorrow then? Xx

It was a couple of days of white sticky discharge. If I could have changed my knickers I would have but we was in legoland!! I wasn’t thinking at the time about being pregnant but looking back it was def out the norm and would make sense. Plus the bloating which got worse once I knew I was pregnant. Then the sore boobs came and lots of cramping. I’m looking out for all these signs but in a way hoping symptoms would be different this time because something wasn’t right last time.
I feel for us all. The unknown is the worst and all symptoms can be the same as period starting...not fair Confused x

Ellsbells112 · 11/11/2019 09:03

@sunflower2019 @WooMaWang agreed. I really dont like the bfn feeling so I will wait as long as possible lol. What's this progesterone cream and what does it do??
If I dont fall this month then I will be doing SMEP next cycle which starts 27th November I've got one of those months where you catch two ovulation cycles just about in one. I really need to get things together for Australia honestly lol I'll be doing some clothes shopping this week I think x

Sunflower2019 · 11/11/2019 09:15

@HanG I can see why you’d feel that way and I guess every pregnancy is different. It will happen when it’s the right time. For all of us :)

@Ellsbells112 I’ve thought about smep too, but it’s just the whole being so particular about dtd.. not sure dp would like it!

Well I’m having a few cramps now so not sure what’s going on! In bed with my coffee and the dog :)

WooMaWang · 11/11/2019 09:20

I don't know about testing tomorrow @Sunflower2019. DP will probably want me to (he's impatient). I'd be 15dpo (that's my guesstimate on the assumption that the day after the two solid smileys is 1dpo) but AF isn't due until at least Thursday. So I'm not actually late yet (or at all, as it may be).

DP would not be up for SMEP. He is not going to have sex on a schedule. And it would mean a reduction in quantity, which he'd not be keen on either. I've no reason to question his sperm count/quality so I think it's ok to just go with what we feel like.

Shopping for an Australia trip, @Ellsbells112? That's exciting.

WooMaWang · 11/11/2019 09:25

Both my pregnancies started so long ago (11 years with DS2 and 21 with DS1) that I have absolutely no recollection of anything. And they were unexpected so there was not TWW.

I do remember going back to university in October 1999 and feeling more exhausted than I could imagine possible. I must have been about 4 weeks or something. With DS2 (back in 2008) I missed a period and tested, but I can't remember if there were any symptoms leading up to the missed period.

Ellsbells112 · 11/11/2019 09:27

@WooMaWang @Sunflower2019 honestly in any other circumstance I would say this with disdain. My OH is all about schedule, sometimes I wish hed just throw me on the kitchen top because he just cant get enough of me! No, Friday night hell come in late and I've had a couple of prosecco feeling frisky giving him the charm lol jesus hes like a brick wall if I isnt a scheduled day!! "No no I'm tired and there is training tomorrow!" Fuck the training 🤣🤣🤣
So if I give him a schedule for sex I think it sits well with his brain lmao hahahaha 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I'm also lounging around with a coffee :D will probably go to the gym in a while too.

Yes Oz shopping, so exciting! We booked a island stay last night in Cairns, it's a little island with a hotel in the rainforest we will fly from my sisters in Sydney to Cairns to stay there for 2 days! Ah it literally looks like a dream I'm so bloody excited!! We get to snorkel all day and feed fishes and meet the biggest crocodile in capture to date! I feel like a kid again lol x

amysara24 · 11/11/2019 09:32

@Sunflower2019 I’m under the supervision of a fertility clinic because of pcos and how long we have been trying, so the dr prescribed it then.. I’m sorry you’re feeling unwell. Symptom spotting is so difficult to specially in the second week of waiting 🙁

WooMaWang · 11/11/2019 09:36

That sounds amazing @Ellsbells112.

Well the Australia bit. The scheduled sex sounds frustrating.

DP would hate a schedule. He'd be annoyed and frustrated and also the expectation that he must perform at a set time would cause a disaster. He's really oddly sensitive to pressure. He has absolutely no problems with performance whatsoever (and is very spontaneous about it all), unless there is a deadline or something similar (solid smiley faces seem to throw him into a panic that he won't be able to perform). I think SMEP would be dire for us.

You should definitely go for SMEP. In fact, he sounds like a man who would be helped by a spreadsheet. 😂

Ellsbells112 · 11/11/2019 09:46

@WooMaWang 🤣😭😭 omg I'm actually dying because you dont know how true that statement is!!! Hahahaa I think he'd appreciate a spreadsheet!! 🤣🤣 thanks for that laugh hah x

WooMaWang · 11/11/2019 09:51

It seems our DPs are opposites. Mine would die at even the thought if a sex spreadsheet. 😂

Beau2019 · 11/11/2019 10:04

@Ellsbells112 I also had some crazy stringy sticky CM last night - almost like EWCM but not??

@WooMaWang my OH would also DIEEEE at the thought of planned sex. As previously mentioned, he doesn't want to 'try' for a baby and quite frankly, I'm not sure he even knows that ovulation exists!! I think he would probably resent me if sex was for a particular reason and he's quite happy to not know a thing and it be a nice little surprise when we do fall pregnant. Maybe he will change his mind for our 2nd... who knows.

Ellsbells112 · 11/11/2019 10:19

@WooMaWang I also didnt know I was pregnant till I was 6 weeks. I remember suddenly getting this odd feeling and thinking oh! When was my period!? Back then I never tracked. Another time though I literally knew straight away before it came up on a pregnancy test, jesus it hit me like a ton of bricks the feeling was so strong. Amazing how each one differs

@beau2019 yes exactly, not jelly like at a but stringey urgh its passed now. I'll go check again in a minute see what's happening lol

WooMaWang · 11/11/2019 10:21

It's probably easier if he's not asking you about it all the time, @Beau2019. Mine wants to know what the tests mean and do and when I should be doing them. I'd always assumed that I'd be the one that was keener to TTC. Turns out he's as broody as broody can be (and has been for ages) but he didn't want to push it until I brought it up. 😆

Ellsbells112 · 11/11/2019 10:22

My cervix has gone high I cant feel it anymore but it might be the time of day so I'll check later to see if it's still high as it was low then medium up till now

WooMaWang · 11/11/2019 10:23

I've got no cervical mucus to comment upon. I mean, there's probably some there (since cervixes are mucus-y by nature) but I have no idea about it and haven't noticed anything.

Mucus is a disgusting word really. 😆

Beau2019 · 11/11/2019 10:33

@Ellsbells112 is high cervix good or bad? In terms of being pregnant that is hahaah

@WooMaWang don't get me wrong, I wish he was a little more interested in trying - I do love a spreadsheet but he is farrrrr more spontaneous. I think I mostly just want him to be interested so I can be reassured he still wants a baby (top paranoid worrier for nothing over here).

I'm still feeling nothing today. I thought I was getting spotty last week, a week before AF due as usual but I only got one tinnnnnyyy one. Weird.

28 day cycle would mean AF due Thursday. However currently guesstimating I'm around 12-14DPO and fitbit app says I'm currently on my period. This is going to be a long week...

Sunflower2019 · 11/11/2019 10:34

😂😂😂

Just laughed in bed at the thought of you all going off to check your cervical mucus!!

I tried to do mine the other day but I can’t feel anything lol, I think my fingers are too short or something 🤣🤣 I could only feel the muscles/walls, maybe because mines tilted?

My dp doesn’t like it when I turn down his advances, he thinks I don’t fancy him anymore so organised sex would just not work.. although he’s tired a lot with the new job so may not notice!

Xxx
