@CJB92 14 dpo... :( But I'm in CD 34, 3 days late

CJB92 · 03/01/2022 18:40

@Btbt ah, wishing you luck! You arent out until AF shows. Hopefully tomorrow you may have a better result on your test, or possibly try another brand x

Diamondbabe · 03/01/2022 18:48

I wonder if you can help me in new here and don't know how to work out how many dpo.

I used a clear blue ovulation kit empty smile on the 27th and then a static smile 28th, it's not the new one where it flashes.

Is the 28th when they sense the levels rising? So do I then ovulate the day after or do you all take it as from the 28th? Thanks for your help

Not sure about others but I used my bbt (basal body temperature) to work out my dpo. Using that and lh testing and putting it all into an app, the app tries to pinpoint when ovulation has occurred. Once it's done that I know roughly how many days past ovulation I am x
CSR721 · 03/01/2022 18:53

@Diamondbabe it will vary whether your ovulation occurs same day, next day or even two days after your lh surge. My app tends to reckon I ovulate the same day as my surge. There's no way of telling for sure though really without an ultrasound x

jazmine38 · 03/01/2022 19:11

@arianasky have you had any spotting or pain? My chemical I made it to 4.5 weeks but started brown spotting and period pains

Geemmm · 03/01/2022 19:12

Hi folks - can I join too?

Currently 2DPO on cycle 15 of TTC. Going to test at 12DPO as that's when I got my other two BFPs (both ended in MC so still TTC #1) which will be 13th Jan.

That's if I can resist the urge to test from 8dpo onwards as usual 🤦🏼‍♀️

CSR721 · 03/01/2022 19:21

@Geemmm

Sorry for your losses 😪 sounds like you and I are exactly on par with each other in terms of cycle dates! Fingers crossed for you 🤞💕

arianasky · 03/01/2022 19:31

@jazmine38 no spotting or pain yet 🤞🏻 just sore breasts and slight nausea and diarrhoea ( sorry TMI )

Geemmm · 03/01/2022 19:44

@CSR721 thank u ❤️

aw lovely - it's super having someone to bounce it all off of on the same cycle 🥰 hopefully we will both be getting BFPs this cycle 🤞🏻

jazmine38 · 03/01/2022 20:14

@arianasky no suck thing as tmi! It's so good your pregnancy symptoms are still there. At 4+3 I woke up and felt normal so sore boobs no nausea no tiredness, at 4+5 I started spotting and I knew it was away. Fingers crossed 🤞 xx

muddypuddlejumping · 03/01/2022 20:14

I've got no idea what's going on with me now. Went to the toilet and was a bit constipated (sorry!). When I wiped there was more blood that definitely looked like the start of af and I had my normal af back cramps. But now, nothing. Naturally, this has never happened before 🙄

jazmine38 · 03/01/2022 20:15

No 'such' thing damn autocorrect obviously use the word suck more than such 😂

kizzy97 · 03/01/2022 20:25

Sooo, all day today my pants have just been soaking (sorry!) I've had ewcm and watery cm all day and the ewcm is coming constantly. I'm certain I've already ovulated. I can't remember the last time I had this much cm so naturally my minds wandering to if it could mean something...I swore I wasn't going to symptom spot this month 😅😣

monkeyjocks · 03/01/2022 20:55

Thanks, everyone!! We are very excited, and I'm already getting ahead of myself and planning my mat leave! Blush

@PoleFairy I’m glad my post made you feel a bit better! I’m sorry to hear you are dealing with odd cycles, hope the doctors have some information for you about what’s going on with your body. Also, good luck for Saturday, you’re not out yet! Smile

@Purple29 I only heard about the fertility cups recently, pretty sure it was here on MN. After I read a bit about them I thought the concept made sense, holding everything in place = giving more time for the sperm to get where it needs to go. We only used it for one cycle and it worked for us, of course, no way of knowing if it was that or if it was just our month. I don’t think there is any difference between pre-seed and conceive plus, just different makes. It’s a lovely age, isn’t it? I don’t know about yours but mine is very energetic! He never stops! Grin Good luck with pre-seed and the cup! Let me know if you have any questions about the cup, it can be a bit tricky at first.

@mightbeyesmightbeno They will be 2,5 years apart, which I agree seems like a great gap! We always wanted two close together, so hopefully, it works out for us! Good luck this month, hope you get your bfp too! Flowers

@aesgriff My spotting was mostly when wiping, there was a bit on my pants one day but not enough to justify a liner. Also, it was ‘heavier’ (still light) after I had a bowel movement. It started out brown, then turned pink then went away. I was convinced it was AF as well as I always spot on the days leading up to it, so fingers crossed it’s IB for you as well! Daffodil

arianasky · 03/01/2022 21:00

@jazmine38 thank you for telling me how you felt 💕 yes I still have symptoms so I'm hoping it's a good sign but I'm not feeling positive

HelloNope · 03/01/2022 21:25

Thanks for tagging me :) catching up now!

Nico89 · 03/01/2022 21:32

@aesgriff I've been experiencing the same thing today. I was convinced I was out ans AF was 2 days early as bled a bit more heavily than typical what I would call spotting after bowel movement today... got myself very upset and had a good cry and a sulk... now its stopped again!? I'm still convinced AF will arrive in full flow by Wednesday when due the optimistic positive feeling I had has gone Sad

If I'm not successful this cycle I think I'm going to step away from mumsnet for a bit as I find it's encouraging my symptom spotting too much and leading me to have too much false hope. I'm not in a good place with it all.

aesgriff · 03/01/2022 21:36

@Nico89 I totally understand. It's a double edged sword. I was the exact same this evening (heavier after a bowel movement) and got lost down a Google search hole. I told myself this morning and also made my partner swear that if I was on my phone to take it off me as I feel like I'm going bananas!!
I'm going to try my hardest to have a phone free day tomorrow and try to take my mind off this bloody bleeding (pardon the pun). Sorry it's so shit atm for you too xx

ttcbabya · 03/01/2022 21:49

arianasky · 03/01/2022 22:20

Thank you @BH1926 💕💕💕

HMFx · 03/01/2022 22:25

Hi all! Can I join? Not in the TWW yet but will be expecting to test towards end of Jan around 27th (if AF decides to make her mind up this time!)
Should ovulate around 15th January.

@muddypuddlejumping just realised I think it was you I meant to tag in this talking about spotting / bleeding after toileting.. sorry @aesgriff telling you about my bowel movements must have seemed weird 🙈
