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

I tried not to come on here during this TWW as I was obsessing too much last month. AF was due today but no sign yet.

I had some sticky CM today with a very faint pink tinge. I think that means AF is on her way? I’m trying to hold out on testing until Saturday as I’d be 2 days late by then.

How are you doing @MrsLeclerc? X

rita83 · 29/10/2021 14:26

Hello all. Well I am getting annoyed my af is starting and stopping 7th day today and still coming out on and off not a lot but just want it to bloody stop 🤣

Leibee87 · 29/10/2021 14:32

Rita, same. I stopped for a day then it came back a bit 😂 annoying. Least it's gone enough if that makes sense 😂

MrsLeclerc · 29/10/2021 14:58

@Cruz86 still no AF and no more pink CM, so now officially one day late. I haven’t tested yet (will of steel this month!).

AF came 2 days late last month and I have a raging headache. I always get a headache at the start of my period so not feeling too confident.

However I might test tomorrow morning if AF hasn’t turned up by then. I think DH might do it forcibly if I don’t Grin patience is not one of his virtues! He’s asked me how I’m feeling today at least 4 times since breakfast.

Cruz86 · 29/10/2021 15:13

That's annoying @rita83!! It's not normally that long is it?

Haha ahh that's cute @MrsLeclerc. You'd rather that than not interested at all! I've got my fingers crossed for you. Will you let us know either way? X

rita83 · 29/10/2021 15:17

Well my chemical last 8 days but I never tested this month so won't know if it's another chemical. It's only when I wipe I am getting blood and had this last month @Cruz86 it's so annoying I hope it stops soon. Only 7 days left til ovulation so it needs to stop soon so we can get dtd before hand 😂

Hi girls - AF all over and done with now. Ovulation predicted 9th November- I’m not far behind you @rita83! I really hope this is our month! How are you feeling @Cruz86? Xxx

rita83 · 29/10/2021 20:37

My af is dragging its self out atm!!! Doing my head in. Not enough to wear a tampon then if you get me 😂 it is slowing but this is the 8th day now nearly. So long. Thought it had finished the other day but he hadn't. Me and you @FlyOnTheWall89 we are gonna be waiting in the tww!!!

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 29/10/2021 20:52

Yes @rita83 - any new plans for this month? Or keeping it chilled?

rita83 · 29/10/2021 20:55

Will probably keep it chilled but maybe concentrate on dtd a bit more where as last month I was I'll and may have missed crucial days. May order some cheap ov sticks off Amazon and see how that goes. Haven't tested for ovulation for months!! How about u ?

OP posts:
Cruz86 · 29/10/2021 21:55

Hey @FlyOnTheWall89! Not long til ovulation time for you. You'll both be dtd a lot more than I will be. I'm too scared at the moment 🤦🏼‍♀️ bloody idiot. How are you feeling about this month? I feel good thank you! Apart from food aversion. Literally don't want to eat anything but I'm hungry all the time 😂 xxx

MrsLeclerc · 30/10/2021 19:52

I’m out! 2 days late so tested this morning and had a BFN, 3 hours later AF arrived Angry. Why does it always wait for me to test?!

I think my cycle length has changed from 30 days to 32 as I’ve been 2 days ‘late’ for the last 2 months. I think this is throwing off my ovulation date calculations so am now aiming for 17 Nov. Considering picking up some ovulation tests to be safe.

rita83 · 31/10/2021 14:53

Hya all, had a lot of ewcm today socovukation will approach for definitely this week dtd today and every other all of this week and couple days next week as well to be sure we are covered this month. How is everyone else doing x

FlyOnTheWall89 · 31/10/2021 15:10

Great news @rita83. That has come around quickly. I’ve still got 9 days until O day! I just feel like it will never happen tbh @Cruz86. It’s quite mentally draining now we are past 6 cycles trying. It’s confusing and a bit scary because I don’t understand why it has not happened. I am not changing anything this month, just keeping up with vitamins. We have plenty of sex and I am very regularly O on CD17, but will test using clear blue. I never really liked the cheap tests but I may try them around CD16 ish to see if I can find my highest peak. I don’t know. All feels a bit pointless. Sorry, just feeling quite defeated by TTC when it should feel a bit more magical.

rita83 · 01/11/2021 07:12

@FlyOnTheWall89 I know I literally had af stop on Friday and had loads of cm yesterday it was clear and runny which I always get around day 9 or 10 my af was very long this month and I said to my husband it doesn't feel like I have had a break in between af. You will get there I am on cycle 6 now as well but I did conceive as you know and lost it. I never tested at all previous cycle but I think I never conceived as I felt different I had really bad mood swings as well which I don't seem to have when I fell last month. Keep me posted. We dtd last night and will dtd tomo as well. Gonna go for every other day x

rita83 · 02/11/2021 14:28

How are you doing @FlyOnTheWall89 I had no cm yesterday but it came back again this morning. Very watery and egg white so I reckon I am either ovulating or it is going to approach soon. Dtd Sunday night and need to cover today really and then again Thursday and day of ovulation which is Friday and then Sunday that's my plan for this month. Can I ask you said u have regular sex but are you doing it too much. I have seen that if you do it quite a lot it doesn't give the male chance to rebuild good sperm. Maybe worth thinking about but that's only if you dtd a lot. X

FlyOnTheWall89 · 02/11/2021 14:50

Hello @rita83 - Sounds like you are right on track. Try to DTD today to be sure. CD17 still feels ages away for me.

Yesterday was tough. A girl at work announced she is pregnant with baby 1 and it happened straight away for her. It is very hard to believe nothing is wrong rn.

Yes I have been conscious of not over-doing it. Last cycle in my fertile window we DTD CD13,15,17 (static smiley), CD18 and 19 which I think without trying is SMEP. I have a call with the GP next week as I would like my bloods done and a SA for DP.

rita83 · 02/11/2021 15:45

Aww how horrible @FlyOnTheWall89 this must have been. Please stay positive though it cld be just nothing I had children very easily years back but now for some reason I have had two miscarriages which was a shock as I have never experienced this before. I have got really bad pain in my right hand side in my pelvis at the moment as well and pains low down in my belly so I think I may ovulate earlier. Try dtd from day 9 then 11 13 15 17 20. It is hard cos your are probably doing everything right but it's all about timing with the egg as well and the sperm reaching it at a certain point. Very frustrating. Let me know how u get on at gp x

Hello ladies, how are we all?

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 05/11/2021 15:43

Hi @rita83!! I am okay. You must be a few days past O now? I got lots of EWCM this morning CD13 but usually get my static on day 17 which is next Tuesday. I am not using OPKs this month. Hoping it is lucky number (cycle) 7 for me. x

rita83 · 05/11/2021 18:00

Hya @FlyOnTheWall89 well I had this watery cm a couple of days ago and I had the worst pain on Wednesday I think it's as in my right side it was all in my pelvis and was a sharp pain so I am not sure if this was ovulation pain. We dtd last night and Tuesday night and Sunday as well. Says my ov day is today but I have a feeling it's already done it. It's so hard isn't it!! I don't use testing kits anymore for this we just dtd every other day in the fertile week. Intend to just go off my app and see when I am likely to be fertile and just work round that. This is cycle 5 for me. Really wishing you the best of luck as well and we need to see now if we get any unusual signs in the next 2 weeks x

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 05/11/2021 19:48

@rita83 sounds great. I think maybe not knowing based on OPKs might help me not get too obsessed with the counting. Didn’t realise you were in cycle 5, we are quite close together with that too. I’m so so hopeful this is our month. X

rita83 · 06/11/2021 07:38

Yeah we have tried a bit better than last month @FlyOnTheWall89 I don't have any cm now either so I reckon I ovulated earlier it was supposed to be yesterday but didnt feel anything at all yesterday 😏 yes we are very close with our cycles aren't we and this is good as we are practically cycle buddies. I am not sure when to count my dpo from either where I am confused 😂 x

OP posts:
rita83 · 06/11/2021 07:40

When you don't test with opks I think this is a lot better as well in terms of getting to obsessive with it all. I have found now we are much more relaxed with the whole thing and when dtd as well it's much more relaxed. How are you today @FlyOnTheWall89 do you think you have ovulated yet?
