Hya all

I am new to mums net. I am currently in my tww and losing hope again for this month. My af is due Friday the 24th. I have no symptoms really! Slight bruised feeling in sides of my boobs, and yesterday and sharp stabbing pains in my pelvic area. That's about it really. Just feel like af will show again and it's not happened again. This was my chart for this month as well and when we dtd

@cruz I had loads I mean loads of watery cm yesterday and the day before and it's started coming out again today as well. I had this last month and we dtd on the day I had it as well. The watery cm is fertile mucus normally indication ovulation is approaching. I have had odd sharp pains in pelvic area but it is changing sides as well. We have only dtd Sunday and last night and we are gonna do tomo and day of ovulation as well and miss a day then do the next day. When your cm goes white and thick and sticky that means ovulation is over as well. Where I had a chemical not long ago as well I am not sure if my ov day will be Saturday as it cld come earlier or may have already been but I can normally tell when it's coming as well. Keep testing and test around 10am and again around 7pm in the evening x

@cruz here you go

watery?


This type of discharge is healthy and a sign of regular ovulation. One method of fertility monitoring uses changes in cervical mucus to predict ovulation. When a person is fertile, the cervical fluid is watery, thin, and slippery, and it may appear similar to an egg white.

Thank you @rita83! Maybe I just have watery cm or maybe I'm just not near ovulation yet. But concerning though because it means I don't have a long lp which I know isn't great for conception. I'll test twice a day, thanks for the advice. Are you using them as well? X

rita83 · 07/10/2021 17:54

That's ok @Cruz86 your welcome. No I don't bother as they are not a good indicator in my eyes. When I used them and went by the strong lines nothing ever happened. And now around day 10 or 11 I always get watery cm and we dtd before this and during this time and keep going. That's all we do now and it worked last month for us and also I lay down for at least twenty minutes after as well xx

Okay amazing, thank you @rita83 ☺️ how are you feeling this month about everything? X

rita83 · 08/10/2021 05:52

@Cruz86 I am ok. Still keep thinking it will probably happen again this month. I have a feeling it happened in august as well just the way my period was it was exactly the same as the one I had just gone with the chemical. Thing is if you don't test you would never know that you have had one. That's the annoying thing. I am ok though got a strong head on my shoulders and we are carrying on like we were before. How are you are you feeling confident this month x

Did a test the other day for chlamydia and gonnorea and they have come back clear this Morning. I have heard this can cause chemical pregnancies. Said to by hubby it isn't gonna be that cos always been faithful but hubby said it can be picked up off toilet seats etc and it made me paranoid 🤣 so came back this morning and I am negative for both so we can cross this off the list

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 14:46

I'm glad it hasn't affected you too much @rita83. I've never experienced a chemical before but can really sympathise with how much of a mind f**k it must be.

Glad you're all clear as well!! Always good to cover everything.

I'm feeling quite confident this month actually but we'll see xx

rita83 · 08/10/2021 14:52

It is very disheartening especially cos u can test now before af is due and get the positive result but then that soon turns negative a few days later. This is why I am not going to test now. If no one tested before their af and they had af then they would t know if it was their actual af or a chemical pregnancy as you cannot tell the difference which is crazy when you think about it. I've had really sharp pains today left and right in my pelvis. Mucus has slowed down today as well so either egg today or tomo I reckon. We are going to cover tonight as well and tomo I think. I'm just not having high hopes now because of what has happened but me and hubby said surely it can't do it every single time. There has got to be one that works!! X

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 20:14

Exactly. It seems like we can test earlier and earlier these days! I've got high hopes for you this month xx

Cruz86 · 09/10/2021 14:10

I got a peak on my opk test this morning so think the next few days are the one for me!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 09/10/2021 15:51

@Cruz86 me too. Bang in expected day!

Cruz86 · 09/10/2021 17:36

Amazing @FlyOnTheWall89!! Mine has lightened since this morning's so wondering if it was peak over night?

rita83 · 11/10/2021 07:01

Hello guys!! @Cruz86 and @FlyOnTheWall89 this amazing!!! Hopefully if you have dtd before this positive line this could be your month. I haven't really dtd that much this time round I haven't been very well had such a bad cold daughter has got it and also an ear infection and this has completely took my mind off the tww wait as well. To be honest didn't really feel ov pains either but had all the fertile mucus half way through the week so I am not even sure when the egg came down. X

FlyOnTheWall89 · 11/10/2021 08:06

@rita83 helloooo! We have done all we can re DTD - CD15,17,18 (static smiley day 17)and my app says today is possibly egg release day but as I got a static Saturday morning, I should think it’s already lurking around. Funny you say you’ve not felt ovulation pain because I don’t think I have either this month but I’m hoping it’s still there. I had some EWCM but not loads. We used preseed for the first time so maybe that will help. It’s also the first month I’ve taken VitaWest pre-conception tabs, folic acid and CoQ10 so wondered if this impacted anything. The TWW begins! (Wil dtd again tonight hopefully) X

Cruz86 · 11/10/2021 08:10

Morning! I haven't actually ovulated yet. Had peaks on my opks for the past 2 days so still patiently waiting...whereabouts are you in your cycle @rita83? Sorry to hear about the illnesses, hope you all feel better soon.

Good luck in your TWW @FlyOnTheWall89 😀 you've done everything you can!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 11/10/2021 08:37

@rita83 famous last words .... I have heard its always the months you're trying the least that it happens. Fingers crossed guys. @Cruz86 if you got peak on your OPK how do you know you have not ovulated? x

Cruz86 · 11/10/2021 08:40

Because I got an even higher peak the next day 🤦🏼‍♀️ honestly, it's confusing me so much. But still hasn't returned to high or low so not convinced I have yet? X

rita83 · 11/10/2021 11:26

Thank you ladies. I am on cycle day 17 now. I've had sharp twinges in my left pelvis which is what I had last month as well. My cm has stopped as well now for the past three days so I think I probably ovulated but maybe wasn't taking much notice of this. I was due to ovulate on the 9th and we only dtd on the 3rf 6th and 8th x

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 11/10/2021 11:45

@rita83 When you've been pregnant, do you then have increased CM again at some point? Do you ever check your cervix? If you did O on the 9th and you DTD 2 times in the 3 days prior, I think surely you are covered as long as sperm life is good.

The only bit of pain I have had was very briefly on Saturday night in left ovary position as I went to sleep and it almost felt like the egg could have travelled at that moment. I am super in tune with my body and notice everything - I am very straightforward in terms of cycles and menstrual in general so I guess it could have released then. Who knows. x

rita83 · 11/10/2021 12:44

No I don't check my cervix @FlyOnTheWall89 never have done either. I had the fertile mucas middle of last week from Tuesday to Thursday and drs on one of them days as well. This is what happened last month. I don't use ov sticks either anymore. I think ovulation either happened around then or maybe earlier than the 9th because I had a chemical as well it may not be accurate. I've had the odd twinging pain in my left side of my pelvis but not constant x

OP posts:
rita83 · 11/10/2021 12:44

Dtd sorry on one of them days

OP posts:
rita83 · 11/10/2021 12:45

When I have been pregnant with my other I'm not totally sure either with increased cm as I didn't know I was pregnant as I had a normal period with them and found out a week after that I was pregnant x

OP posts:
Cruz86 · 11/10/2021 19:03

I'm feeling really crampy today, almost to the point where I need a hot water bottle! 😩

rita83 · 12/10/2021 10:51

@Cruz86 how many dpo are you now?? I haven't got a clue what I am where I haven't really kept track of any of it because I have been really ill. I went to the loo earlier and had loads of lotion white cm so don't know what that means x
