So, this is our first month properly trying!

So this month my ‘estimated ovulation’ was today (cycle day 14)

From cycle day 9 I experienced EWCM until day 11, which then changed to Cloudy CM & Now appears to be getting thicker!

I cannot pinpoint ovulation, but on Monday I experienced cramps.
On the Saturday (cycle day 9) prior I had nausea and headaches which continued until cycle day 10.

I almost feel like I ovulated on Monday cycle day 11!
I just have that gut feeling, along with EWCM completely gone now!

So annoying not knowing!! So I’m going with 3DPO!

Anyone else??

@Rachipops I’ll probably continue, all depends when my cycle peak is, maybe having a more relaxed approach may help more!

Right now I’m driving myself crazy! I was thinking I was 6-7 DPO today, but I tested again today and got a stronger OPK than yesterday, so think today was my peak! I’ll try and cover once more, and then I don’t think we’ll make anymore, and will just have to see when AF arrives, so hard! Next month I might give up testing and just DTD every other day, that way it may be easier as focusing on peak for 3 days in a row, and then having to do it again, is tiring!

Hi ladies…

I have lost count with DPO, I just haven’t been watching my cycle or anything just taking each day. My period is due in 4 days - just don’t feel like it’s coming! But I did another test and was negative!

So I think it was a dodgy test!
I will continue TTC because I think we’ll have a better chance next month with more insight into my cycle, plus I’m going to buy Ovulation tests to pin point!

I feel awful, this chesty head cold is horrible, I’ve ruled covid out because that was my worry!
God, this week has been awful! Just want answers now.

How are you both?

Xx

@Kates21 ahh no, it’s so disheartening isn’t it! I think OPKs will help though! Ah I feel for you, sending love!

I’m okay, jusf really confused! No idea what the hell is going on with my body! So confusing!

So ladies, I’ve just wiped and sorry TMI I have creamy CM! Sorry! So that means I can’t actually be O right now? Even though I had my peak? So confusing! So maybe my first peak was correct and I am 7DPO! 🤔

@kates21 Hey lovey. I'm so sorry that you're having such a tough month. Hopefully this month is just your body getting everything out of your system for a successful December.

Or even better.. I have heard that you're more likely to get a cold in very early pregnancy because the progesterone rise takes down your immune system bit, to allow your lady bits to accept the egg and not try and fight it off. Sorry I don't want to get your hopes up or anything. It was in a TWW Youtube video I watched this week.

You're definitely not out until AF arrives. Maybe you did ovulate later in the end! It's hard to keep your head up I'm sure, but you never know x

@peonies94 hey girl, sorry. I'm restricting myself to check MN only twice a day now because I was getting obsessed!

Creamy CM is a good sign that you've already ovulated, especially if you can distinctly remember having the EWCM previously before that. But nothing is certain.

You might just need to wait until close to AF before testing if you're not sure of DPO you are. What are your plans? Do you think you'll be able to hold off?

I think we all deserve an easy December. Less pressure and testing, more lurvveee and good vibes.

I hope we all get our BFPs soon ❤

Just read this article which says I only have a 10%-20% chance of falling pregnant because we DTD 4 days before ovulation.

Bubble has been utterly burst 🙈

@Rachipops no problem at all! I’ll probably test every now and again as I have cycles which vary by 20 or so days, so would like to know, especially if I have something coming up!

Ahh that’s interesting! So maybe every 3 days for me may be okay, but every other day is better, when I don’t know O day!

Hey ladies,

Yeah I heard that a cold could be a sign but this is more a chest infection! AF is due in 3 days so who knows! I still have blood test booked for Friday.

Hope everyone’s well!

All good this morning, in better form than yesterday - I was such a depressoyesterday.

Another BFN for me this morning on my Easy@Home test strips 11DPO ish. Still getting creamy thick CM and sore boobs.

I've been keeping a note of all my symtoms by day this cycle. So if it is a BFN month I can reality check myself next month against what my PMS symptoms are. 🤗

Making sure I takeaway my learnings from this cycle and use them constructively.

@Rachipops that’s a really good idea! Glad your feeling better today too!

@Rachipops We dtd four days before I ov’d too. It’s still a chance though :) I think it’s easier to think of as 1/5 instead of 20%.

Guys.. is this a very early BFP on FRER? I know it's so hard to see on the pictures, but feels so clear in real life. I'm actually shaking. 12DPO. Line eyes please!

I've literally never got even a whisper of a line on these tests.

@Peonies94 @Kates21

Here is the inverted..

I'm seeing things right?

@Rachipops

I can see it!!!!

I would leave it a few days then do another test let the hcg build up! Xx

Morning ☺️

So I’ve got my blood test pushed to this morning & AF is due in 2 days - with no signs what so ever!

Dreading the bloods though, I’m such a wimp 😂

@Rachipops I see it!
@Kates21 goodluck

I tested this morning 9DPO and if was negative!

@kates21 thank you. I'm a bit taken aback. I was so convinced I was out! I'm all out of FRER so I'll need to wait a couple of days for them to arrive anyway.

Good luck for your bloods. I flipping hate all of that stuff too, so squimish! Thinking of you today x

Fingers crossed for you! Looks promising! Hopefully you’ll get a stronger line in the next couple of days!!

Oh god don’t, I’m such a wimp when it comes to it just trying not to think about it! Results should be back this afternoon so I’ll have answers, although I’ve completely convinced myself that it’s going to be negative.

Onwards and upwards though if that’s the case, we move into the next cycle 😂

Have a good day lovelies x

@Rachipops did you have any symptoms? I have a headache today and feeling sicky, but I’m sure that’s down to the stress which comes along with the second week of 2ww when I just want to know either way!

I had symptoms up until yesterday when I had what I thought was menstrual cramps starting, AF due on Wednesday.

In the past week I've had lots of creamy CM, sore boobs (particularly nipples last night and today), on/off nausea, hunger and fatigue. Yesterday night I even warned my partner that I felt very hormonal and might snap at any second at any small inconvenience. I told him I could just feel the PMS hormones in my veins like adrenaline 😂 Very dramatic but everything was pissing me off.

I wish I could gast forward to just knowing for sure!

@Rachipops
They sound promising! I had exactly the same with my little boy, I first tested positive at 12dpo too & tested 5 days later with a digital! Xx

Well bloods are done!
She said possibly back this evening, otherwise to call Thursday or Friday x

Good stuff @kates21! At least that's out of the way now ❤

@Rachipops I know!! My partner bless him is still hopeful, makes me sad how much he wants a baby. We both have kids from seperate relationships, but none together yet!

I went to work today and I think it was a bad idea, my chest is so bad! I feel guilty but I feel like I need to take the day off tomorrow!
