Hi,
New on here! I have 2 children from a previous relationship and currently on cycle number 3 of TTC.
Pretty sure I'm 1dpo today, cycles are usually around 31 days. AF due on the 24th! Anyone else around the same dpo and want to chat?

@kangaroo77 ahh bless you, I am usually around 31 days. Ooh creamy cm is a good sign!!

I have creamy cm too, is that a sign?

Kangaroo77 · 15/05/2020 19:02

It usually is! Most people say they dry up post ovulation.

Suki2020 · 15/05/2020 19:11

@Kangaroo77 mine normally drys up, but my cervix is low so I think that means I haven’t conceived doesn’t it?

hiddenfigure · 15/05/2020 19:15

Hi

I am in a similar boat - due on 26th May.

TTC first child - came off pill last year and tried straight away but realised quite soon it was going to take time for my body to adjust so we didn’t try for a few months, but weren’t using protection. Started trying just before Christmas using the apps.

This was my first month using OPKs - CB ovulation kit, so I am about 2/3 days DPO.

Good luck everyone! I really did not think this would be as complicated as it is - they didn’t tell us this in school!!

Kangaroo77 · 15/05/2020 19:19

@Suki2020 I've always been clueless about the whole cervix position thing. I did try to work it out one month but couldn't work out whether it was high or low and gave up! 🤦🏻‍♀️ how many dpo are you? Any symptoms?

Hi @hiddenfigure 👋🏻. It's a right palava isn't it! Exciting when you get those cb smileys though. How are you feeling?

Suki2020 · 15/05/2020 20:08

@Kangaroo77 I’m 5DPO I’ve had a cramping on and off on my left side and creamy milky CM if that makes sense lol. How about you?

Suki2020 · 15/05/2020 20:57

Hi @hiddenfigure how long are your cycles normally? Did you get on ok using OPK’s? It’s was my first month using OPK’s too

hiddenfigure · 15/05/2020 21:08

Hi @Suki2020 @Kangaroo77 My cycles have become more regular over the last 6 months - I’m averaging about 29 days. When I first came off the pill they were all over the place but more regular now thankfully!

I was happy with the CB sticks - I used 9 I think for this first cycle, so will have 11 left for next cycle which saves buying a new pack! 😄

How did you find them @suki2020? Did they match with any app you use? I found the app was predicting my ovulation a few days earlier than the CB gave me a solid smiley!

How are you feeling @Kangaroo77..?

Kangaroo77 · 15/05/2020 21:38

@hiddenfigure I'm feeling ok thanks, just normal really. Nothing of note to report except a bit of creamy cm tonight. Jeez this bit is hard all the symptom spotting. Ooo I'm excited for you, sex and smiley faces are 👏🏻

Kangaroo77 · 15/05/2020 21:40

@Suki2020 sounds promising! No cramping for me just the creamy cm tonight. Lots of waterworks this last few days but I think that's more the stress of entertaining 2 under 6 and working full time from home 🤪🤪. X

Suki2020 · 16/05/2020 08:19

@hiddenfigure yeah I found them ok. Think I was lucky though as I was only using them for less than a week when I hit my peak. I only used the cheap one step OPK’s. The app pushed mine back one day.

@Kangaroo77 I bet that is really hard work, least it distracts you from symptom spotting all day. Do you still have a drink after ovulation? Our street is getting together later and we are all doing a bbq on our own lawns and sitting out chit chatting more than 2m apart though but not sure if I should have a drink.

Kangaroo77 · 16/05/2020 08:22

@Suki2020 ah sounds nice! A little bit of normality 🥰. I gave up alcohol a year ago so I don't have that to think about. However during my last 2 pregnancies I had to odd glass of wine without any issues. Hope you had fun xxx

Suki2020 · 16/05/2020 08:37

@Kangaroo77 it’s so difficult as I may or may not be pregnant and everyone will be saying why aren’t you drinking. We haven’t told anyone that we are trying as I didn’t want us to have the extra pressure. How are you feeling today?

Kangaroo77 · 16/05/2020 09:33

@Suki2020 yes totally get it. I don't think a little bit of alcohol makes much difference. I think I got wrecked early in my first pregnancy as I wasn't trying and it was a total shock! Terrible!

I keep patting my boobs waiting for them to kill. But they don't 😂. As I seem to be obsessed with cm I had green snot type last night when I wiped (sorry - it's early). Again I know this can be a positive sign however I'm pretty certain I've had it before when I was pregnant. What about you? Anything new thing morning to report 🤗

Morning to the rest of the group. How is everyone?

Kangaroo77 · 16/05/2020 09:35

Typo - I meant I have had greenish cm when I wasn't pregnant.

whambam89 · 16/05/2020 09:37

How's everyone getting on? I'm 8dpo today and the symptom spotting has officially started 🤦 AF not due until next Saturday so trying to hold out until then!

Suki2020 · 16/05/2020 09:42

@Kangaroo77 I have been needing to wee more, already been 3times this morning and only been awake since 7:30. I think I’m probably still too early for any symptoms though at 6dpo

2020wish · 17/05/2020 05:05

6dpo for me. Anyone else temping? I had a big temp spike this morning from 36.58 to 36.88 Was wondering has anyone else

Kangaroo77 · 17/05/2020 07:56

Morning 😊. Ooo I wonder what the temp spike means? I'm not tracking bbt this time (I did it with my last 5 years ago). I'm 7dpo and not much to report apart from some odd cm.

Anyone else have anything more exciting to report!

Suki2020 · 17/05/2020 07:58

Hi @2020wish I’m 7 DPO I had a slight temp drop this morning from 36.68 to 36.60 so I’m a little confused. I would say your temp is good. Have you had any symptoms?

whambam89 · 17/05/2020 08:27

@kangaroo77 9dpo for me today, had cramping on 7dpo, been slightly bloated yesterday and today and boobs are sore but apart from the cramping these have been previous pre-AF symptoms for me so I'm not getting my hopes up!

Morning ladies, sorry another busy day yesterday car viewing! You'd think this dealership, who hadn't sold a car in 2 months would be desperate to get rid of an overpriced car but nope!
I'm 7dpo and thought I was due AF on the 24th but actually just checked its the 22nd. Been having lots of twinges and pulling on left side still and the odd period type pain but now I'm thinking it's just body getting ready for AF 😔 have felt quite hopeful until today. I think knowing implantation could happen any time now is making me symptom spot more and making my head fill up with hope on every little twinge!
How are you all doing? I hope you are all well and getting some good symptoms showing! 🤞

OP posts:
Kangaroo77 · 17/05/2020 08:57

@Suki2020 could the temp drop he implantation dip? I'm trying to remember when I temp tracked 5 years ago and whether it's a good sign to dip around implantation?

@whambam89 it sounds promising also 🤞🏻

@Jessiemay2020 ah don't lose hope from what I know AF and pregnancy symptoms can be the same 🙄 which is annoying!

I'm feeling mixed also. Very could be, but also could easily not be. If I'm not preg this month I'll be ok as I only had termination 2 months ago but if I am I'll also be anxious as dont wanna go through what I just went through 🤪 xxx
