@nt1992 I don't usually get cramps for more than a few hours before AF. Last month I felt them at about 7am and came on mid morning. I'm still 2 days away from AF so wouldn't have had them yet. I'm feeling something similar to cramps. It's hard to describe but not like AF cramps. The best way I can describe it is that I'm aware I have a uterus 😂 like it's bloated

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 20:08

@mrsio mine are like mild AF cramps I remember them being the same when I was pregnant before. Also cervix still high closed & wet so that's good I suppose. Maybe I've just not got enough HCG yet

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 20:10

@mrsio @nt1992 I had to google my anatomy earlier.😂 I wanted to see where my bladder/uterus/stomach was. I haven't had cramps but weird twinges here and there. I don't know if I'm just going nuts. I think to myself 'would you have noticed this was weird if you weren't ttc?' If the answer is no then I just ignore it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

mrsio · 18/12/2019 20:17

@mellymoo86 yeah it's surprising how low the uterus is isn't it. Have you googled what happens to your organs when you're heavily pregnant? 🤢

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 20:19

@mellymoo86 before I came on here I didn't know what AF CP CM DTD or anything of that stuff stood for😂 learning everyday girls

sojo44 · 18/12/2019 20:58

Oh god!!! I'm so behind on the thread!!

How are the cramps going ladies?? Fingers crossed it's none of this AF bitch turning her tricks!!

@CiaraJ01 definitely treat yourself tonight, have a drink and a good time. Especially after the hard day!!

@Littlepea90 I'm exactly the same! All else is exciting and then the awful wait and potential bad news that's the killer.

I'm on CD4, looks like stupid AF is clearing out now so if like clockwork, tomorrow is the last day! Then it all starts again! Gah! Really hope Dec/Jan is all our month.

Work announced they're laying off x% of the workforce in 2020 and we get to find out in January who, such a good Christmas present 😂😂 I just want to get preggo and get mat leave

Mich2020 · 18/12/2019 21:34

Can anyone help? I had taken this test this afternoon after peeing just 45 mins before. There's
Defo a line and it's pink irl.. I had a great line last week and a couple faint positives since, but then this. I'd have expected it to be dark by now?
Any positive stories about faint lines for a long period of time? I should be due on today/yesterday or tomorrow defo at the most. Had my static smiley on the 1st so could have ovulated up to 36 hours after that.
Just so confused at the moment. I have a gynaecology appointment tomorrow, for endometriosis/pain etc so I'm sure if I mention these weird tests they might be able to give me an answer by blood test or something. But in the mean time I feel so different, boobs have massive blue veins on them I feel sicky throughout the day, slight cramps and very tired 😓 xx

Littlepea90 · 18/12/2019 22:09

@sojo44 aw so we’re roughly about the same last day of AF was yesterday for me, when are you due to ovulate? I think I’ll start using the opk next week and hope for the best. 🤞🏾

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 23:18

@Mich2020 I can relate to how you are feeling with the cramps and tiredness. It's hit me like a brick this week! I have a few very faint lines last week and 1 this week but then mixed in with some negs. The faint lines don't seem to be any stronger than the other. I'm almost 4 days late & going crazy! I hope you get some answers soon x

CiaraJ01 · 19/12/2019 07:53

Good morning peeps!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
I'm on the official countdown till I get outta here around 1ish. Thank Fudge.

No AF as yet bit lots of symptoms shes due, my other apps had different predictions so I cant really say shes late or not 🙄 So tired though and yesterday was crazy, I'd ine drink and just wanted to go to bed 😂 But I got my nails and lashes done plus a nice meal with the OH so the terrible day ended well 💕

Hows everyone? @Blondeandbroody any sign? @mellymoo86 you use google... I get all my tips from you 😂😂 @nt1992 do you just use one app or a few to track your cycle? @Mich2020 how many DPO are you and what tests are you doing? Dont give up x

@sojo44 sorry to hear about work. We'd a similar meeting today and although it's unlikely we'll have to make any redundancies I couldnt Promise it, nit nice just before Christmas 😔 Fingers crossed it works out for you xx

nt1992 · 19/12/2019 08:01

@CiaraJ01 still tracking & updating the few until I know what's going on. Once AF arrives I'll narrow it down to the one to save confussion🤦🏽‍♀️ however 4 days late now still no AF CP still high closed & wet. No sign of her yet

Blondeandbroody · 19/12/2019 08:07

@CiaraJ01 no sign of AF for me yet! X

CiaraJ01 · 19/12/2019 08:12

@nt1992 good idea I'm the same!! I thought premon wouldve been most accurate with uploading the OPKs to that.

Are all your apps saying your late then? One of mine says I'm 2 days late today, but others predict AF tomorrow!

@Blondeandbroody how late are you? POAS recently??

Blondeandbroody · 19/12/2019 08:18

Omg!! So I can't upload any frigging pictures but I am 56% certain I've a faint line on an IC!

mellymoo86 · 19/12/2019 08:41

@Blondeandbroody 56% is very precise lol!! Why doesn't this site let us upload pictures when we need to ☹️

@CiaraJ01 Glad to hear your day ended well 🤗 Yay not long to go for you!! How exciting!! And yes I am Mrs Google 😁

I plan to do fudge all today. Got bestie coming over for din dins and I fancy making a cake.

Blondeandbroody · 19/12/2019 08:47

Haha @mellymoo86 I just wanted it as over 50% haha I’m not so sure anymore! Think I’m just going crazy.

I think the desktop site lets you upload more than the app......

mellymoo86 · 19/12/2019 08:50

@Blondeandbroody I see a faint line, are you able to do a FRER today?

Blondeandbroody · 19/12/2019 08:54

@mellymoo86 I've got some clear blue coming (early detection and a digi) so I think I might wait for those and try one of them in the morning (who am I kidding next time I need to wee lolz)

It's the first time I've seen anything on a IC but still so doubtful I did just get a flutter of excitement and audibly said NO to myself lol!!

CiaraJ01 · 19/12/2019 08:57

Definitely a line @blondeandbroody!! Go get a CB or FRER!!! 🥳🥳

@mellymoo86 Donner with a bestie and includes cake sounds like a winner to me! 😍

mellymoo86 · 19/12/2019 09:09

@CiaraJ01 They said to act like you're pregnant so I'm eating for two already 😂

Something new happening today, I felt twinges last night and would wake up suddenly from it but thought I was dreaming. But now I've got full on cramps. Like can't stand straight type cramps. It's sort of radiating from side to side under tummy, never felt that before. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I had a little conversation with my tummy last night lol, I was like look yeah it's been a few months now and I'm doing all I can so can you please help me out. Then OH came in so I quickly stopped 😂

sojo44 · 19/12/2019 09:27

Ooooo looking promising @Blondeandbroody 🤞

@Littlepea90 I've got stupid long cycles lasting about 45 (stupid PCOS), so not entirely sure on ovulation date, could be mid jan 😂 trying the foof monitor (Ovusense) this cycle to see if it can help point to OV, but going to try DTD every 2-3 days as well just to cover all bases 😁🤪 looks like AF is ending today like clockwork, woohoo! How about you? Xx

@CiaraJ01 come on Out of Office on! You're almost there's so close to duty free 😂! Glad your evening ended well after the horror day 💖 oh god, it's definitely the year of redundancies all over isn't it! I think my team will be fine (she says now...) 😂

How's everyone feeling today? We've been at the in-laws since this weekend and travelling back home today.

CiaraJ01 · 19/12/2019 09:30

@mellymoo86 well if you're eating for two then I definitely can 😂😂😂 Symptoms sound strange.. are they like AF cramps or different? What DPO are you?

@sojo44 Yeo I have zero attention span this morning!! My brother is on his flight back from Canada, and my friend is waiting for his flight home from Dubai so I've been sat texting them all morning 😂🙈

How was the in laws?

mellymoo86 · 19/12/2019 09:35

@CiaraJ01 Yeah AF type cramps but also not. Its not so much to the side it's more in the middle where the uterus is. Above your nana. Lol It's so hard to explain things. At least you're a girl so you sort of understand. This would blow OH's mind 😂 I'm 8DPO

CiaraJ01 · 19/12/2019 09:47

😂😂 I tried explaining more TTC stuff to my OH over dinner last night... some stuff just doesnt go in for them 😂

@mellymoo86 implantation??

mellymoo86 · 19/12/2019 09:49

@CiaraJ01 Haha yeah. My OH looks at me blankly and I'm like ....are you there? .... lol

Hmm don't know, never felt this before. Don't want to think to much into it. When you google it I can have ALL SORTS. Can even be pelvic inflammatory disease...wtf great lol
