@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@hoola23 yeah managed last night. Still seems strange how CB didn't pick anything up then a peak this morning on normal ones. I will test later again and see what they both say. I never test in the morning but decided to see this morning and I couldn't believe how strong the lines were

CShandy01 · 23/10/2021 10:10

Morning all!! How are we all doing? Great news about your peaks @Aims1991 @hoola23 I always think it's so much easier when it's at a weekend 😂😂

So not sure if it's because DD is poorly and I'm so sleep deprived, but I'm really really certain I'm out this month. I'm 6dpo, haven't had any symptoms apart from a tugging/pinching in my right groin....buuuut that could be from Pilates on Thursday and a work out I did yesterday 😂😂

I also stupidly stupidly checked my cervix and CM even though I told myself I wasn't going to this month, and cervix is quite low and hard and I literally have no CM, which is very unusual for me as I usually have something there. So gets that's me out.

MrsRosaline · 23/10/2021 10:17

@Aims1991 it's such a buzz seeing peak and thinking of the possibilities 🤞🏻

@CShandy01 I dunno, I always think you can't possibly know until your period actually comes!! Your body can be so misleading...

Aims1991 · 23/10/2021 10:24

@CShandy01 Wouldn't rule yourself out until AF arrives. You never know🤷🏻‍♀️
@MrsRosaline Ano it's great. How are you feeling?

hoola23 · 23/10/2021 10:33

@CShandy01 don't stress. The month I got pregnant I had no cm until day 8 ish then I started getting creamy then ewcm but like jelly. AND my cervix was hard and low. Keep the faith!!

CShandy01 · 23/10/2021 10:44

@hoola23 @Aims1991 @MrsRosaline I'm just so annoyed that I caved and checked my CM and cervix. I told myself after ovulation I was just going to leave well alone and let nature take its course. Ignorance is bliss in this journey of TTC I think. Oh well. I have officially put a lock on my vagina (unless DH wants to go there 😂😂) so no more prodding and checking for me! Xx

hoola23 · 23/10/2021 19:57

@CShandy01 I wouldn't stress hun, a little investigating doesn't hurt if it satisfys the feeling to check. As long as you don't read into it, which clearly you're not 🙃😉 now throw away that key 🤣🤣🤣

I've got the highest peak this eve so ovulation will defo be tomo for me. Or the middle of the night! DH is out with the lads tonight so I doubt I'll be given my sperm dose🤣 Will have to jump on him in the morning if so! We've only had sex once otherwise! Ruiling myself out this month!

CShandy01 · 23/10/2021 20:22

@hoola23 as long as it's the right time, it only needs to happen once!! Try and jump on him tomorrow morning if you can, or when he gets back! Either way, you'll still be in for a shot 👍🏻👍🏻 xx

hoola23 · 23/10/2021 20:51

@CShandy01 yeah I'll do my best. I always think the less sex the less chance. Sure there is logic in that but it only takes one swimmer right! My worry is we hadn't done anything all month so it was not fresh sperm! Unless he's been DTD by himself without me knowing🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aims1991 · 23/10/2021 21:26

@hoola23 I don't know when after my peak I actually ovulate 🤷🏻‍♀️I just hope for the best 🤣

hoola23 · 23/10/2021 21:47

@Aims1991 me either! I'll try tonight and the next two days then I'm done🤣 what will be will be!

newtolineofduty · 23/10/2021 21:58

Hey ladies!!!!!! Great news about the peaks!!!!!!!!!! @CShandy01 I'd say if your body is behaving differently that's a good sign!!!! Come on everyone keep up the positive vibes!!!!

I'm buzzing as I've just been to my brother and SILs twin gender reveal party and it's a boy and a girl!!!! So perfect! X

CShandy01 · 23/10/2021 22:04

@hoola23 @Aims1991 literally every month I've been TTC I always end up saying "we did our best." When I'm just going off EWCM I just end up saying "that'll do" 😂😂

@newtolineofduty oh how lovely! Means they can get it over and done with having kids as they have one of each! 🙂😂 did anyone suspect that it was a boy and a girl? How are you doing chick? Feeling alright? I'm finding it hard to keep up the positivity. I am adamant that it'll be someone's month in this thread though, just 99.9999% certain it won't be me. I was in the shower just after I had put DD to bed and I was having a wash, and I'm not going to lie, I literally jumped in shock as I genuinely thought my cervix had fallen out IT WAS THAT LOW when I was freshening up down below 😂 I thought "shit all this coughing and I've given myself a prolapse!" 🤣🤣🤣 still as we always say - you're not out until AF shows up!

newtolineofduty · 23/10/2021 22:24

@CShandy01 they actually already have a toddler (boy) so it's lovely there's a girly in there!!!!!

I'm totally not familiar with the cervix stuff hun but I had no mucus at all until I was 5 weeks or so! X

hoola23 · 23/10/2021 22:28

@newtolineofduty aw that's so cute! They must be so happy!!!

@CShandy01 I thought you were on a vagina checking ban🤣🤣🤣 honestly, forget the cervical position. That doesn't come into place until your past 4 weeks so ignore your cervix position in the TWW. It really won't tell you anything. I remember mine was so low when I got my bfp so it could still be your chance!!

newtolineofduty · 23/10/2021 22:30

@CShandy01 so is the theory that if you're pregnant your cervix is mega high up? I darent feel mine now incase it's not lol! X

OP posts:
Aims1991 · 23/10/2021 22:42

I have no idea with the cervix checking🤷🏻‍♀️ yip @hoola23 I've DTD tonight then next couple of days and then maybe skip a day. Not sure. @newtolineofduty im very hopeful and positive this month. Hope it pays off

CShandy01 · 23/10/2021 23:00

@newtolineofduty I really really don't know because the beauty of the cervix is that it does it's own thing 😂😂 usually it's supposed to be super duper soft, high and open for ovulation, then when AF rears its ugly head it's usually low, open and very firm. But every woman is different. My cervix was incredibly far back in my first pregnancy that they actually struggled to do sweeps. And it was apparently very firm. So god knows why I'm clutching at straws with cervical position when my own cervix clearly likes to be a bit of a bellend!

@hoola23 I know I know I know I said I was on a ban!! In my defence I genuinely was just washing below and it literally was there - no cervical exploring needed 😂😂 but I have definitely locked up the old front butt for the remainder of this cycle.

@newtolineofduty also chick I wouldn't even dream of checking your own cervix when your pregnant. I never did it in my first, I just waited for my midwife appointments. Xx

hoola23 · 23/10/2021 23:34

@CShandy01 🤣🤣🤣 let's stay positive!! Only a week to go for you now right?

newtolineofduty · 24/10/2021 08:57

@CShandy01 bellend cervix 😂

@Aims1991thats great you're feeling positive!

@hoola23 how's the baby making going this time!? Hope you managed to pounce this morning! X

OP posts:
hoola23 · 24/10/2021 09:27

@newtolineofduty well DH didn't get home until 2am so no chance of baby making until this eve! My lh still says peak this morning and i haven't had any ovulation pain today yet so I don't think it's happened yet so possibly still in with a shot if we do it this eve!

StillJustWaiting · 24/10/2021 10:02

Hey ladies ☺️ jumping in here Hoping you can give me some light, new to the thread, so I'm unsure this month when I actually ovulated, CD1 was 30th of September - I had some very light spotting (pink discharge when wiping) on and off for 2 days 12th & 13th of October.
I use the Flo app to track my periods and their predictions for ovulation. Flo says my ovulation day this month was the 19th of October.
My cycles are a bit messy, last month having a 34 Day cycle and the month before having a 37 day cycle.
Do you think I could have ovulated early this month and the spotting I had on CD 13 & 14 could have been an ovulation bleed ?
I'm so confused I don't know wether to count the TWW from the 13th or from the 19th 😫😫
TTC #1, I have had a miscarriage and 2 chemical pregnancies this year and am beginning to lose all hope :( xx

newtolineofduty · 24/10/2021 10:54

@hoola23 perfect! Chance for his sperm to regenerate too!!!!! You'll have help him recover today so he's better for tonight! 😂 xxx

hoola23 · 24/10/2021 11:32

@newtolineofduty considering how much he drunk last night, I doubt his sperm are going to find their way to my egg!! 🤣🤣🤣

newtolineofduty · 24/10/2021 12:10

@hoola23 😂 x hope he/they recover in time! 🤣😜❤️ x
