Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

@Ellsbells112 nooo literally only hurts around ovulation for 2-3 days. When I get ovulation pains, THAT's when sex is really fucking painful. Like a deep bashing. Surely that's meant to be the most pleasurable time hahaaha. Sex outside of my FW is thee business, inside it I just want it to be over ha!!

Katie1109 · 22/01/2020 15:34

@Beau2020x maybe it’s associated with the fact that cervix is in low position during ovulation? Just a thought x

Beau2020x · 22/01/2020 18:18

@Katie1109 you are probably right 🙈 although everywhere says your cervix should be high during ovulation. Of course mine isn't and of course now I've convinced myself that not only can I never have babies but I will actually in fact die next year #crazy

Symptomspotter86 · 22/01/2020 19:06

As predicted just got my static smiley and IC opk also confirmed surge. That's good as seems to be I am ovulating on CD16 every month. Will try to DTD tonight for good measure as could still be 24-36 hours before egg is released.

Had a lot of stress today from other things going on so going to try and relax this evening and feel positive.

Katie1109 · 22/01/2020 19:22

@Symptomspotter86 hoooray for the surge!
@Beau2020x everyone is different, my cervix was high during my period, so I don’t think there’s a rule that fits all!
My lower back on the right hand side is getting progressively more painful, I am sitting with a hot water bottle on it, so god knows what’s that all about at 3DPO x

Ellsbells112 · 22/01/2020 19:23

@Beau2020x yeah so your cervix should be higher during ovulation I think. Maybe you have a low cervix? Everyone is different after all, my doctor told me I had... I can't remember the name but a type of cervix it's like being left handed 😂🤷‍♀️ anyway when I'm dtd this weekend while fertile I'm going to check to see if it hurts and let you know 😂blast night we dtd and I was literally like no just get away because it hurt but my cervix is low... Anyway ill let you know! But I don't think you should worry :)

@Symptomspotter86 how long have you been trying?

OP posts:
Symptomspotter86 · 22/01/2020 19:50

@katie1109 I have no clue about my cervix as not even tried fingering myself up there yet 🤣 but I definitely feel like it is lower around ovulation when DTD.

@ellsbells112 this is my 5th cycle trying.

Beau2020x · 22/01/2020 20:04

Thanks @Ellsbells112 @Symptomspotter86 you've made me fee better.

@Ellsbells112 eh listen, I'm left handed so clearly you have a 'special' cervix. That was the word you were looking for 😂 Thanks for letting me know if your sex was painful (genuinely, I mean that) 😂😂😂

MrsTtobe · 23/01/2020 06:44

Hi, I'm new here! Came off the pill Oct, been ttc since then. My first cycle after coming off pill was 19 days, then 24, then 25. I've always had shorter cycles when I've not been on the pill. This cycle I'm now on day 29 and for about a week now I've been feeling pregnant ish lol. (I already have 2 children)
Last night did a CB digital test and was convinced it would say pregnant so when not pregnant came up I was in shock! 😣 Anyone know of anyone going on to actually be positive after getting a not pregnant?

Mumofboys17 · 23/01/2020 06:52

@MrsTtobe hi! Welcome to the madness, hope you're as crazy as we are 😉😂

Do you know when you ovulated? It could just be too early to tell for certain and CB aren't as sensitive as they like to make out. Maybe wait a few days then try a FRER? X

MrsTtobe · 23/01/2020 06:58

Awww bless thank you 😘 and yes definitely a little crazy over here 😂

I haven't a clue, my other 2 children were happy accidents so im new to this ttc thing and it all sounds so complicated.

Is FRER a first response? Sorry for not being down with the lingo 😂

Ange211 · 23/01/2020 07:06

Good morning gang! Sorry I've been AWOL. It's been a week since my bereavement and the dreaded AF and I'm feeling a good bit better about the latter. Going to just go with the flow from now on. I think I'm putting too much pressure on myself thinking I want 2 more kids before I'm 40 (I'm 37!) So if it happens it happens if not then I'm blessed with what I have ♥️
In other news (possibly tmi) I pee'd the bed last night 😱 now I have been drinking in excess of 2L of water a day to aid the weight loss and I dreamt that I'd pee'd and when I woke up I was wet down there. Fortunately 3 yo was in bed with us so I blamed a nappy leak but I'm horrified! I have literally never had any incontinence issues before. Do you all think I should see my GP or is it just a case of tena pads and plevic floor exercises? Also had a blob of orange jelly like discharge yesterday. AF finished on Saturday.
Convinced I've got some kind of gynaecological cancer!

Beau2020x · 23/01/2020 07:32

OMG @Ange211 I totally cried with laughter at this!! 😂 blaming the 3YO is amazing! I'm so glad you're feeling a little better 💕

As for the peeing the bed. I've actually done this TWICE as an adult. Exactly as you dreamt I was weeing in my sleep and actually wet the bed! It's perfectly normal (I think!) I know loads of people who have done it I wouldn't worry too much 😘

Katie1109 · 23/01/2020 08:01

Morning ladies how are we this morning? x this TWW is already doing my head in, I’m 4 DPO and my back is hurting, still in the same place, I even took my hot water bottle with me to work x it was quite uncomfortable during the night so I didn’t sleep very well and I’m a bit cranky this morning 😂 no cramps today, just that familiar feeling of pressure down there like during af x other than that I’m pretty sure this is all bollocks because I cannot possibly have any symptoms yet 😂although my Mum knew she was pregnant with me 5 days after conception but says she didn’t know she was carrying my sibling until 8 weeks, because she continued to have normal period 😂 so I guess everyone is different so is every pregnancy 😂

Katie1109 · 23/01/2020 08:04

@Ange211 yeah don’t worry about peeing at all x I’ve done it, I think most of people have. The way it was explained to me is that you’re dreaming about having a pee because your subconscious is trying to wake you up to have one knowing you need it x unfortunately the result is that you do wake up, but already started to pee and it’s completely normal x it’s just one of those things that our minds do to control our body while we’re asleep x

Ellsbells112 · 23/01/2020 08:40

@ange211 I tend to do that when I'm plastered, like really plastered. First did it a few years back at a friends house, he never let me live it down lol.

@Beau2020x 😂 😂 there's an actual word for it I promise lol it means it's up and to the front not at the back or something haha but I'll defo let you know how it goes. Saturday and Sunday here I come 😬

Katie1109 · 23/01/2020 09:55

I’ve done my usual poking around this morning. Firstly there was a blob of very thick and very sticky discharge with no colour on my panty liner - could literally formed a ball from it, sorry I know it’s gross. Secondly, something inside feels off, it’s like it’s all tighter and feels very hard, almost like my vagina wall has moved forward?! Does that make any sense? I was literally in shock when I put my finger in. Anyone any thoughts? x

Beau2020x · 23/01/2020 10:11

@Kate1109 you are you've not been over doing the pelvic floors haha?! As for the CM, it gets all dry and thick after ovulation so maybe it's just a bit of build up?

7DPO and CD22 for me today, mild AF cramping again. Trying not to worry too much that my cycles previous to the last one were only 23 days and last months 28 day wasn't a fluke! If AF arrives Saturday I think I might have a meltdown...

Quiffy · 23/01/2020 10:14

I do not know what is going on with me this cycle. I am just going from pure misery where I want to go to bed to pure rage where I want to murder DH. Everything is a struggle.

My BBT is totally off too, I've had no proper rise, so fem changed my ovulation to the 19th. I manually changed it back to the 17th as I got my peak before then. Plus I dont think the 19th shows any real BBT rise either. All that's going to happen is it freaking out when I have a 7 day LP and telling me Im totally fecked. In all previous months Ive had a really clear temp rise.

From my chart, my bad stomach cramps and my really bad pmt, I get the feeling that I didnt ovulate this cycle for some reason and that AF is going to arrive early. Totally losing my rag with TTC atm.

New thread for the crazy gang part 2!
Katie1109 · 23/01/2020 10:16

@Beau2020x nah I haven't done any pelvic floor exercises lol x We DTD last night and I just remembered that my OH commented it felt more tight than usual. My CM normally dries up by 2DPO, but this time there is quite a bit on my panty liner and inside is very much wet x Oh FFS does it have to take 2 weeks to get an answer?! I'm 4DPO and CD20. I really hope your cramping is a good sign x

Katie1109 · 23/01/2020 10:19

@Quiffy sorry you're having a shit time x I cant help with BBT because I do not temp. Just one thing, do things like outside temperature influence it? I was just thinking maybe you're a bit warmer all the time because weather has been cold and you're likely to have heating on? Sorry its a pure guess, I really have no idea how it works x Be kind to yourself, get angry if you need it - have a go at a punch bag, it really helps I've got one in my garage :)

Quiffy · 23/01/2020 10:32

@katie1109 I dont think I've changed anything with heat as I'm usually chilly so sleep with hot water bottle and pjs. Not changed that this month. The only difference was a crap stomach on the run up to ov day, so maybe had a slighty raised temp from that. But even then, my post ov temps are usually higher rather than these weird consecutive days at same temp.

I don't have a punch bag, but i might scedule in a rageful power walk later ha

hampshirerose34 · 23/01/2020 12:50

Hi all,

I despair! So since ovulation every single day I have had cramps on the right side then the middle. I have never had this before and am due to test on Saturday as that's around when my AF is due but who knows !! Confused

Quiffy · 23/01/2020 13:10

@hampshirerose34 with not having that before, the cramps sounds very promising. Fingers crossed. Will you wait until the weekend to test?

Mrslane2019 · 23/01/2020 13:25
