Hi girls, I have created new thread. Hope you’ll see it x

Af cramps have hit me like a big old wet fish over last hour or so. Nothing to show yet though, but very familiar feeling. Keeping fingers crossed but booo.

@quiffy ☹️ sorry to hear xx hopefully it doesn't come! Xx

@Quiffy I hope she won’t turn up for you x my cm is getting more pink now, it’s not only tinged now, but my cervix is still very high x so af on its way 🤮

@Quiffy booo to AF the stupid witch! Hopefully she stays away!

Still zero symptoms but only 9DPO. Everyone says sore boobs is the number 1 sign but mine are normal.

This weekend we finally have nothing on and not busy. Although I think this means entering into crazy territory as have more time to think and symptom spot

Aw ladies I'm sorry it looks like AF is rearing her ugly head. It all just feels so unfair at times.
I've actually got no idea where I am cycle wise I think cd16? Got a smiley on CB on Wednesday so assume I ovulated Thursday/today???? No idea. Aaaaages to go for me!

Strange... my temp is 37.27 tonight.. what the hell!!!! My gums ache. Can’t be get it Ill again!
What’s going on?
Sorry to hear of possible af arrivals for some of you xx

Morning ladies x how are we?
Well my af hasn’t arrived yet and she’s normally with me when I wake up. I woke up with a bit of cramps but they now stopped x cm still slightly pink tinged but no blood at all x I don’t feel any different, boobs still sore x no other symptoms, so she is on her way. I have no tests so won’t be testing until at least Monday/Tuesday if af doesn’t show. One thing I noticed is my left pelvic area feels sore, similar to when you pull a muscle but I haven’t done anything to pull it x

@Katie1109 fingers crossed for you.

Off to the beach today with my dp, a little us time. I am writing this cycle off as been a crazy couple of weeks or so! Just going to Enjoy today, get some chips, have a walk. I don’t want to focus on it this week whilst I’m off.

@Ellsbells112 how are you lovely? Receiving from your travels xxx

@Sunflower2019 that sounds lush 😍 love a cold beach walk!! I'm sat on the sofa in my dressing gown haha, we have friends over tonight though so looking forward to that 😊

@Ange211 I've no idea when I ovulated either, I'm not using CB just OPK strips and they peaked around Tuesday/Wednesday, so looks like we're cycle buddies! AF is due 16th for me (according to Ovia) what about you? X

@Katie1109 @Quiffy been thinking about you both this morning! Hope AF hasn't showed up yet?? Xx

Morning everyone! I ended up taking a hot water bottle to bed and watched a film. There was no AF this morning but after all the bending and putting away of Xmas decs, the AF spotting arrived about 10.30am. Bit rubbish but on to next cycle, maybe I’ll get my Halloween devil child next cycle! I’ve given myself this weekend to mope then fresh and full of positivity from Monday. Think I’m predicted 16th for ovulation.

@Katie1109 ahhhh I really hope it doesn’t show 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@Sunflower2019 sounds like a great day, enjoy!

@ange211 sounds like the TWW now, the joys!

@Mumofboys17 friends over sounds fun!

@Quiffy I've found that too actually now that you've mentioned it.. if I have a particularly few lazy days around AF's due date it's almost like it holds it back a bit. Being active or stressed is normally a major trigger for my AF, like last cycle when DS was hospitalised it came a week early 🙈 why are bodies so weird 😂😂

I've been having cramps again today, but this happened last month before AF came early so I'm not noting it as a significant symptom 😂 DH goes away for work again this week so I'll be plenty busy to stop be testing me thinks 😬
How many of us are still in this cycle? Xx

I have just been poking around again and my cm is now getting brown x no cramps or anything else , just that pulling feeling on my left side x I think af will arrive this afternoon or tomorrow morning latest 😭

@mumofboys17 they are so weird! Men don’t realise how lucky they have it with their dangly bits.

@katie1109 bloody af, it’s just not fair ❤️

Hi! Sorry to sound stupid but is egg white cm a sign I have ovulated or am about to ?! Got some today (although not as much as usual) and just wondered! We've been having sex every other day this week so will continue anyway!

@Ktn35 I think ewcm is meant to mean you ovulate a day or two after that.. at least that's what Dr Google told me!
When I conceived the first time I woke up to ewcm early morning, did an OPK and it was positive so jumped straight on DH there and then and DTD 😂 however it's different for everyone so don't take my word as gospel lol. I reckon if you've been DTD every other day you'll be fine 🤞🏻 xx

@Sunflower2019 hey girl, your day sounds lovely ❤️
I have just been spring cleaning today after being away for 3 weeks the house needed sprucing up! Feel a lot better now just need a nice hot bath. It's been nice to take it easy today, normally our Saturdays are busy.

I'm just getting super fed up with ttc ill be honest. I'm so confused as to why it's taking forever now I'm in a good position and when I wasn't it happened straight away. It's so fucking unfair honestly. I'm scared that I've effed my chances of conceiving literally 😭 it's hard to stay positive constantly when it's all you want. My sister is like "you need to calm down" no I don't I really want this don't bloody tell me to take it easy if I could I would! 😭 Just sooo tired of every month being like yep af is gonna come 💔😓 sorry downer but just how I'm. Feeling right now and you ladies are the only ones who bloody understand! 😭🤗 Xx

Well looks like af has arrived. Cramps are not as bad as usually and it’s very light pink, just on wiping atm but I put a tampon in because I’m busy doing things in and out the house x CD1 it is then 😭 I’m so fucked off with all this now x

@katie1109 I feel your pain x

@Ellsbells112 totally understand you, just don’t understand why it’s taking so long. Seems incredibly cruel when you’ve been waiting so long. I’ve wanted to try for 2 years but my DH wasn’t comfortable trying until we were more financially stable. Neither of us really realised how long TTC could actually take. It’s a very hard process, just got to hope this is your month or that it will at least happen soon.

@Katie1109 af is a bitch. Hope you’re okay as you can be ❤️

Still only spotting here but cramps beyond painful. The joys of af. Wish it would hurry up and start properly so the pain would ease a bit. Ruining the end of my holidays atm. Currently straddling a unicorn hot water bottle and watching gossip girl 🤣

Who’s going to get a bfp so I can live through your joy 🤞🤞🤞

@Ellsbells112 sorry Hun, I feel the same :( had a massive row with dp earlier, I literally a stopped the car and told him to get out, as he doesn’t take this seriously and he keeps ignoring the fact it bothers me, I told him we’ve been trying since July and it’s starting to seriously concern me, using opks etc all at the right times and still nothing!!!!!
This month I just know it’s a bfn.. it’s getting less of a disappointment as i do expect it but I wanna know what’s happening. Lots of love and hope you had a lovely day doing your clean. I’m going to try do one tomorrow :)

@Katie1109 sorry to hear of af.. hopefully it will be your turn soon!!!

@Ktn35 you’ll definitely ovulate soon, I’m sure! I don’t get much ewcm but I know when I’m gonna ovulate have this weird feeling!

Dp just dtd and literally had to get in the bath as it was burning 😂😂 haven’t dtd for 4 days, vagina is closing up...

Thanks @mumofboys17 .. I'm getting cramps tonight too so hopefully I am ovulating now 😊 xxx

I'm sorry people are having a crappy time of it at the moment 😔 It's so hard and each month seems to feel like a year sometimes. I try to reassure myself that every month or lakes longer is another £500 I can save towards maternity pay 😩 xxx

@Sunflower2019 is it worth going to gp just to put your mind at ease? I know it’s 12 months but you could fiddle dates a bit? Might help you dp understand a bit more?

@Ktn35 that’s a really good way to look at it! We need the small positives

@Quiffy I went to see GP 3 months ago who done some blood tests for me, came back all normal, said they were as good as 3 years ago? 🤷‍♀️ What more can I do!!! It is annoying though, also dp got checked out and all was fine his morphology was a little low but they didn’t see that a big issue! Xxx

@sunflower2019 argh that’s annoying - good that bloods all good but not much more help :(
