I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

@BiscuitLover3678 I'm not 100% sure either. I was working and missed an ovulation test so I kinda got 2 lesser peaks😩 at the most I could be 7dpo but I don't want to believe that. For my sanity I'm saying 5dpo

So I've had mild AF like cramps for 2 days only noticeable when trying to sleep. CM has upped (wet TMI sorry) Absolute agony hot boobs last night but woke up to a lot less agony but I'm aware of them. I wish I did bbt but honestly do not have the patience or time for that.

MrsGrealish · 10/04/2022 14:35

Maybe I didn't even ovulate and this is a tremendous waste of energy 😩

Definitely got some symptoms then! Not long to go until you know for sure. When do you go away?

I DTD Saturday, Monday and Thursday. Ovulation was either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. My gut says Thursday so let’s see I guess.

But as I have no symptoms whatsoever probably nothing šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø And was probably Wednesday after all and sperm didn’t want to stick around.

@BiscuitLover3678 so when I got pregnant last year (very unplanned) I had zero symptoms. Just a tiny bit of implantation bleeding which I thought was early AF but it didn't arrive. So I did two hugely positive tests. I only miscarried because of an absolute f*k up with the medication I was taking. Hospital were too long in changing quite strong blood thinning drugs. I was 8 weeks.

Anyway no symptoms are a good thing😊 so I'm hugely hopeful for you xx I go to Greece 2nd week of may and DH goes away 20 April for 3 days.

@MrsGrealish sounding promising! I also cba to BBT and don’t think I ever will.

Reckon ovulation will happen for me tomorrow so that will make our one attempt at DTD four days before ovulation… so not out but a long shot!

Poppyjen · 10/04/2022 21:49

Hello all - feeling a bit 😬 today. I am 10dpo today (according to OPK), since yesterday I have had some pink tinged CM when I wipe (sorry TMI), not enough really to even mark my pad but it's there each time.

I have tested with FRER yesterday and IC today and both BFN.

My cycles are sometimes longer than expected, but never this short. It's weird. I am expecting AF to arrive properly any minute (albeit earlier than expected) but there's a small part of me that is wishing for this to be the mystical implantation bleeding šŸ˜‚

Has anyone had this experience?

Poppyjen · 11/04/2022 07:49

Update. As suspected, I'm out šŸ˜ž good morning AF. I had Covid mid-cycle this time, maybe it disrupted everything. 10 day LP is not normal for me.

Good luck everyone!

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 07:54

@Poppyjen sorry chic..covid has a lot to answer for. Good luck next cycle😘

BiscuitLover3678 · 11/04/2022 08:10

Sorry @Poppyjen

I posted here early in March hoping for a little penguin-december baby. Was abroad last week and felt sure I was out because my OPKs showed a very early peak (CD13 on a 33ish day cycle) - but no period so tested this morning and BFP, confirmed with clear blue showing 3+ weeks. Doesn't quite feel real! Any one know what you're meant to do next?! :)

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 10:08

Omg @F03t congratulations šŸ„³ā¤ļø

Amazing! Your first?

I’d call up your gp surgery. They’ll tell you but some areas you go for a gp appointment and they refer you to midwives.

@F03t wow congratulations! Great news. Have a look online or contact GP, some places you self refer to the midwife services and they’ll book you in for a booking appointment which is usually around the eight week mark.

BiscuitLover3678 · 11/04/2022 15:50

Is low mood a sign? Only 4-5 day po and have felt so rubbish today! Granted could be other things like sleeping badly and the house being a tip again.

Any ideas on baths? When does it get bad or should I avoid one now? I just really fancy one.

OP posts:
BiscuitLover3678 · 11/04/2022 15:54

Scratch that, I’ve read that low mood just after ovulation is normal and that feeling low is negatively corresponding with pregnancy on that countdown to pregnancy app. 🄲
Just one of those things then.

Charl881 · 11/04/2022 15:59

@BiscuitLover3678 I think as long as baths aren’t hot enough to make you light headed they’re fine!

F03t · 11/04/2022 16:31

@MrsGrealish

Omg *@F03t* congratulations šŸ„³ā¤ļø
Thank you! Still shocked to be honest!

and thank you @Charl881 and @BiscuitLover3678BiscuitLover3678 - yep, my first! Will call the GP - have spent most of the day asleep after realising I cant drink as much coffee anymore - should have enjoyed that blissful ignorance espresso yesterday a bit more hehe.

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 17:43

@BiscuitLover3678 god I feel you with the house being a tip. I started the day thinking possibly I was pregnant couldn't eat much yesterday and kinda a weird sore bruised feeling in my boobs and am ending the day thinking not a chance with the AF pains I'm getting 🄲

@F03t oh to get a 3+ on a first test. Literally would never happen to me!

F03t · 11/04/2022 18:12

@MrsGrealish - thank you, didn’t even take a test abroad with me as was so sure it was not happening so I think it was a forced not testing result! Sending you much love and baby dust for very soon xx

Charl881 · 12/04/2022 07:43

Well I don’t know what is going on with me as I ran out of opks before I got a peak! Tonnes of EWCM from Friday to yesterday, in particular yesterday and boobs were a little sore yesterday and more so today so I’m really hoping I ovulated either yesterday or today which would put our one effort a DTD 4/5 days before ovulation. So not completely out but a slim chance. If I’ve not ovulated yet then I’d say no chance.

How is the TWW going for you all?

Charl881 · 12/04/2022 12:04

Does anyone else notice a shift in their mood around ovulation time? I’ve been feeling down and anxious for the past couple of days then suddenly today it’s like a weight has lifted. I’m sure it must be to do with hormones!

I think I feel rubbish just after? But actually it’s hard to tell because TWW is very emotional generally!

@BiscuitLover3678 @Charl881 I too feel rubbish after ovulation. It must be the hormone shift I think my body hates progesterone
