TTC - Ovulation etc.

Think we need a new thread as I tried to post on the old thread and it wouldn't let me!! Please tag in anyone else I've missed who may want to join us here!

@newtolineofduty see this is what I love about this group!! Sharing this sort of stuff really makes me feel positive about the whole TTC. I think we can rely on OPK's and all other sorts of things, but at the same time, our bodies will tell us when is the right time and when isn't the right time. I'm so so glad I started paying attention to my EWCM, as I didn't quite realise how long I had it for. My aim was to DTD everyday when it lasted (which was 3 for me) and then on the 4th day when it went a lot thicker but still stretchy, we didn't bother (mostly because we were knackered). I don't want to jinx anything but I have a really positive attitude and feeling for this month for all of us 🙂🙂

@CShandy01 I do too actually! And that positive attitude must result in decreased stress surely!? X

@newtolineofduty @CShandy01 I'll let you off as it's not a TWW google search🤣🤣 that's very interesting about the ewcm. But I literally get it from cd8 to 15! It's only now cd17 become less ewcm like!

It's so strange you both have that positive feeling because I have felt that both for you two this whole month. I don't know why! Me, not so much but for obv reasons! I reallllllllly hope you both get a BFP this cycle!

Imagine a trio of BFPs @hoola23 @CShandy01! Could you identify a day when it was most 'abundant'!? Mine was the Friday which was my second peak day so all seems to match up! X

@newtolineofduty imagine!!🤣🤣

That's the problem, I don't think I can! It defo increases around CD11,12,13,14 so going to stick with those dates!

@newtolineofduty Thanks for the detective work on the EWCM production! I heard the exact same thing on a podcast with a fertility doctor today. Which makes me a bit sad as the only day this cycle I've had any EWCM was CD 15 and we did not DTD that day as DH was busy :(

We DTD on CD 13 (night) and CD 16 (night) and I had ovulation style cramps the evening of CD 16 so not sure what my chances are... no positives on OPKs but I drink a LOT of water and not sure how much that affects it.

I have a good feeling for all of you with the increased EWCM though
:) that was me last month but I was a bit off with the timings when it came to DTD!

@plantbasedlondoner sometimes I think OPK's are brilliant but other times I think sometimes you have to take 3 in a day to get your LH surge. I remember when I was TTC DD I got a surge in the morning and it was gone in the evening. It was with the clear blue digital pink ones and the strip had 2 super dark lines (test 1 was darker) and then in the even the test line was so faint it was mental!

Can I just say @hoola23 @newtolineofduty how much I hate this TWW? My lower back is on fire currently, and I swear it feels like I've done 1,000,000 crunches (wish I had, could do with some toning up!) Desperately trying to forget everything but guess what's on TV that I found whilst flipping through channels....ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE!! 😂😂😂

@CShandy01 🤣🤣🤣 it's the worst!!! What are you now 8dpo?! I had back pain as a strong symptom. Could of been nothing though! Have you caught up on married at first sight?? That will keep you occupied!

@hoola23 yes I'm 8dpo at the moment. Longest dpo of my life! Noo I haven't caught up and the kids at school keep talking about it! I really need to watch it!!

How's everyone feeling this evening?

@CShandy01 8dpo is the most common implantation day so deffo a good sign! OH NO LOOK AT US SYMPTOM SPOTTING!!! We just can't help ourselves! I was watching one born last night and in tears! It was a mega old episode and there were some sad stories with positive outcomes! I always cry at that programme!

@plantbasedlondoner I take evening primrose oil starting at the end of my period up until around cd14 to help with cervical mucus as well as drinking grapefruit juice. Huge increase in production since I started doing those things!

@hoola23 DP watched footy last night and he's out until 8ish so we'll be catching up later! Apparently last nights is a good episode! X

@newtolineofduty 😂😂😂 that really cracked me up. Trouble is, I have this EVERY run up to AF, hence always getting my hopes up. I get lower back ache, abdominal cramps...literally if there was a guidebook to early pregnancy symptoms, I'd be ticking off every single one. Hence why I don't want to get too excited. I stupid got excited because my cervix was SOOOO high and soft today, so much so I almost lost it...and then BOOM! Low and hard. I know it changes in the day and generally isn't a sign of early pregnancy, but again it's like WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME BODH?!

That meant to say body at the end. Anger and watching CoCoMelon with DD got the better of me.

Oh I hate that coco melon programme @CShandy01!!!! How's potty training!? X

@newtolineofduty going really well thank you! She can pull her own pants down when I tell her it's toilet time but she's too small to climb on using her step. She's telling us a lot more now when she needs a wee or a poo so that's a definite bonus!!

Agh that's great @CShandy01! I found potty training SO stressful! I literally shudder when I think of that first nappy free week in the house!!!! Our DD is spot on with her wees and was great with her poos but we're going through abit of a poo regression! Xxx

@newtolineofduty @CShandy01 potty training sounds stressful! My sister is doing that at the moment! My mum told me and my sister that we never once had an accident or wet the bed when she potty trained us. My sister categorically thinks she just doesn't remember but my mum swears by it!

Hehe that's hard to believe @hoola23 but I guess all kids are different! Both DSC were out of nappies at 18 months whereas my daughter is almost 3 and poos in her knickers sometimes! She did a poo on the toilet at nursery today and was so proud of herself that she went around everyone in her nursery room to tell them! ❤️😂 x

@newtolineofduty DD claps herself when she does a poo in the toilet. She actually is better at going for a poo than a wee (she's never done a poo in her knickers since we've toilet trained her). Problem is she also claps everyone else when they've gone to the toilet too 😂 quite sweet really!!

That's adorable @CShandy01! When my daughter does one she shouts her brother and sister to come and have a look! 🤣

@CShandy01 your DD sounds so cute, clapping everyone

@plantbasedlondoner the gobi desert made me lol 😂😂😂 x oh yes I've read good stuff about inositol-I think my prenatal vitamin has some in but probably not loads/enough! Xx

So 3dpo today and my cm is a bit odd. It's like really think ewcm. Almost jelly like. Gross. But I had this last month. The colour is almost like a tiny drop of blood was in it so it's super super pale yellow. The jelly like CM was present last month so.......
DISCLAIMER. This is not symptom spotting, purely an observation which I feel compelled to report to you 🤣@newtolineofduty@CShandy01

@hoola23 yes of course it's absolutely no way symptom spotting....just like how I've been practically prodding my cervix every single day (at least twice a day) just to try and figure out what it's doing...absolutely not at all trying to figure out if it's a good or a bad sign...no way....not me 😬😬

On a serious note @hoola23 I had a lot of yellow snot like CM around 3-6dpo and it's kind of gone now. It was thick and very yellow. Can't remember if I've ever had it as I've never really taken much notice of stuff like this before, so I'm finding it hard to tell what's what!!
