2dpo here and I feel quite crampy too but this normally happens in nearly every cycle for me Grin

MrsKey2020 · 20/09/2020 13:00

I'm 5/6 DPO also getting faint cramps ! Could be nothing could be something 🤞🏻 xx

jules5232 · 21/09/2020 12:54

@Supermathsdoc Exactly! I am trying to focus on distractions as well. Luckily we're renovating a house so it provides lots of thing to keep my mind busy.

jules5232 · 21/09/2020 12:58

(meant to make these the same post, sorry!)
@RBCoxie I definitely get strong ovulation cramps too. They don't last long but they are pretty intense some months. I also get very nauseous all morning each time before the cramping starts, cant eat a thing. Do yours last long?

HollowayL30 · 21/09/2020 13:18

How is everyone doing today? I've had cramps again on and off today! I couldn't tell when I actually ovulated as my app say different days and I never done any tests this month.

MummyToPrince · 21/09/2020 13:27

I've got a pinching pain in left side today I'm 5dpo.. I'm a little worried as I have a face to face doctors appointment at 3:30 today as I had a blood clot pop up on my hand on Saturday and I don't want them to do anything incase it affects anything 🤦‍♀️

My app says I can do a pregnancy test in 8 days! It's so hard to distract yourself from it 😂

HollowayL30 · 21/09/2020 13:41

@MummyToPrince Ahh I think I had that this morning too a little pinching but not sure if I'm thinking it! Going by flo I'm 6dpo but on another ap I'm 8dpo so I'm just going to wait till my AF is due it's so hard tho! Ahh just tell you dr that your trying and you don't want anything that could effect that to happen. They will understand! I'm
Hoping this month is our month! How long have you been trying for? X

RBCoxie · 21/09/2020 14:20

@jules5232 ah that's so interesting! Mine only last the day of ovulation - start in the morning and have pretty much gone in the evening but during the day it's sharp AF like cramps.

I'm 2 DPO today - had absolutely no EWCM this month but trying not to read too much into it. Anyone else not had any before? It may be because I'm only two months off the pill? x

MontyFALD · 21/09/2020 14:30

Hi all - looking to join your group! I'm ovulating today (still learning all the phrases so stick with me haha!) it's our 4th cycle - we postponed and stopped due to Covid and we've now carried on. For some reason now the deed is done 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm freaking out about a second lockdown and being pregnant!?
It would be my first pregnancy
But at the same time I think the day 1 of this tww is already getting to me!

MummyToPrince · 21/09/2020 14:38

@HollowayL30 how frustrating! I hate when other apps tell you different! I've done another ovulation test today and I'm 100% sure I ovulated early... Will you test a day before AF is due? I've got 8 days till I can test but I'm going to test in 7 😂🤦‍♀️ yeah I will explain to them and hope they dont want to do any tests or scans... This is my first month TTC baby number 2.. The pinching pain I had today was quite strong but like bad af pain... I hope this is the month for everyone :-) x

Hi all, my apps said I was due to ovulate on Wednesday, but had pinching pain in right ovary today which I do get when I ovulate, but I will know for sure if that is it if nothing happens tomorrow or Wednesday.
Don't think anything will happen this month, only managed to dtd once on Saturday and that was it as me and husband are on completely different shifts for these 2 weeks and practically won't see each other 😫

Jaybird3040 · 21/09/2020 18:12

Hi ladies, just looking to see if anyone can give me some advice, I have 28 day cycles and going be my flo app I should of ovulated on Saturday (2 days ago) this is my first month using opks and have yet to get a positive on CD 16. Here is a pic of the opks over the last few days, do you think I will get a positive soon as they are getting a bit darker? Or is it possible I have missed the LH surge and have already ovulated? Thanks

MummyToPrince · 21/09/2020 19:18

@jaybird3040 looking your picture I think you will ovulate later this month, the line seems to be getting darker... Have you had any EWCM? And do you get ovulation pain at all?

OP posts:
MummyToPrince · 21/09/2020 19:21

@Shell4860 when I fell pregnant with my son in 2018 I only DTD once that month and he is nearly 2 :-) remember your not out until the witch shows x

Shell4860 · 21/09/2020 21:01

@MummyToPrince that is true! Only 2 weeks to go 😂

@Shell4860 sending you baby dust x

Supermathsdoc · 21/09/2020 21:40

@Jaybird3040 they are definitely getting darker, but when I first started testing I got test strips that picked up a concentration of 40iU/mL and the line didn’t go as dark as I expected (I was tempting as well) so I got 30iu/mL ones and they worked perfectly for me. I think some of it is a bit trial and error.

I think it’s definitely worth correlating with other signs as no one thing is really ‘perfect’ and it seems you can’t be sure until after you’ve ovulated ...

jules5232 · 22/09/2020 02:42

@Jaybird3040 when I first started doing OPKs I read the instructions and it suggested doing them in the afternoon and I couldnt ever catch a surge. Once I started testing in the morning I had stronger lines. I do agree with the post above that you might be later (they will go from light to dark very fast) because the apps only have a small idea of when you will. I wouldnt trust them completely. You'll get the hang of the OPKs soon though!

MummyToPrince · 22/09/2020 08:09

6dpo slight tender nipples and cramping today... Anyone else sit and think maybe I shouldn't write these sort of things down incase I embarrass myself at the end with af showing or is it just me 😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

OP posts:
RBCoxie · 22/09/2020 08:38

@MummyToPrince I find it so useful to hear what other people are feeling so no please don't stop 😂😂 I'm writing everything down too so then at least if AF arrives this cycle I have something to look back on next cycle so I know what's 'normal' and I don't get my hopes up 😂

MummyToPrince · 22/09/2020 08:43

@RBCoxie 😂😂 I will still update here how I'm feeling each day and as the day goes by, I've just looked back on my app to see what my symptoms was when I fell with my son and they are exactly the same. If I am pregnant I'm going to keep it a secret from OH as his birthday is on the 6th of october so I'm planning on surprising him on his birthday, if I'm not then this is embarrassing 😂😂🤦‍♀️

How many DPO are you? And how are you feeling?

OP posts:
RBCoxie · 22/09/2020 08:51

Yay! Thank you! 😂 that's really exciting though - especially if they're different feelings to what you would feel in a normal non TTC month! I think that's a lovely plan - probably the best birthday present he can get! As this would be our first, my OH wants to know when I'm testing so he can see the result straight away!

I'm only 3DPO, have been feeling pretty normal but I've had definite sharp pain on the left side this morning - similar to ovulation pain but on the left this time. Probably nothing but it's the first thing that's felt different - I've read it's too early for implantation though so not sure what it is!

MummyToPrince · 22/09/2020 09:03

@RBCoxie my partner was the same with our son whne I come to testing he wanted to be the first to see the 2 lines, however when I didn't test I peed on the stick and there was already 2 lines before I had finished peeing 😂🤦‍♀️ I've got a lot of thick white cm too 🤦‍♀️ I hope it's our month

OP posts:
MummyToPrince · 22/09/2020 09:09

*however when I did pee

OP posts:
RBCoxie · 22/09/2020 09:43

😂 it's so easily done!! I really hope it's our month 🤞🏼 I've had absolutely no cm this month - a bit of watery cm at best, no EWCM and nothing now either. I haven't 'checked' properly internally so only basing this off what's going on externally but nothing. Trying not to read too much into it 😩
