Okay so today im 6DPO.... got some on and off low cramping, on and off headaches feeling constantly tired and just no energy, some thick white CM,my cervix is soft and higher up and just a general mleh feeling. Ive notice too the past 2 days my lower stomach is bloated a bit gassy and this sounds weird but when i bend or anything it feels like my tummys in the way so to speak. Know its WAY to early to test and trying so hard not to symptom spot yet just hoping this is my month. Anyone else in the same boat ?

Congratulations @ttcttc 💕💕

@ttcttc congrats lovely!! So happy for you! ❤️

Does anyone else get frustrated with OPK’s? I’m using easy at home and my score seems to just not be rising. Last month I really noticed the rise, I wasn’t using the app alongside but my score is really bothering me. According to flo I’m supposed to be ovulating today (it was consistent with the strips last month) but my hormone results aren’t matching. I had EWCM yesterday and we DTD in the morning as well. I’m not tracking BBT at the moment, just the strips as the thermometer I’ve ordered isn’t working properly and the whole thing has annoyed me. CD16 is supposed to be around ovulation and I’m scoring low. FMU used.

Yea they are a bloody minefield. Could it be you ovulated early? Cd11 looks darkest to me

Swiftie12 · 13/02/2023 12:56

@ttcttc I’m wondering this as well. But day 11 seems so early for it. I should have been tracking it better really but I’ve only started testing ovulation regularly just after AF finished. I’ve got 7-11 and none of those are looking great. Im hoping the surge hasn’t come yet as I’ve never quite peaked.

Just have sex every other day to cover all bases 😜

You shouldn’t test for LH before 12pm.
the best time to test is between 2-6pm, my test last month was almost positive at like 1pm and then peak at 6pm. X

Swiftie12 · 13/02/2023 22:38

@Mrsrobinsonx ive been testing in the evenings as well as mornings and there’s very minimal change. Last month I got a positive OPK later in the day. According to flo I’m supposed to be ovulating today (I realise apps aren’t 100% accurate) and my evening score was another low one. I have no idea what’s going on with it. Whether it’s the strips, whether my urine is too dilute (I’ve been trying to drink more lately).

@ttcttc we’re keeping to every other day just incase 😂😂

Feeling hungry and sick 😂 bizarre.

I've been having cramps too which I now is normal but after my mc I'm anxious about it. My boobs feel a bit heavy too.

How are you doing?

Rainbowbabyplease · 14/02/2023 20:53

@ttcttc same really. Tiredness and sickness have really ramped up this week. I had a MMC in September so I'm trying not too worry about every twinge which is really difficult so I completely get where you're coming from. Sending love and hugs ❤️

Aw bless you.

How far along are you xx

@ttcttc 6 weeks today 😊

@ttcttc 6 weeks today 😊

Ah you're two week in front of me. Sometimes think it's a curse to find out so early x

Rainbowbabyplease · 15/02/2023 10:28

@ttcttc I know I think it is too. We are looking for symptoms and testing all through the TWW then time drags again after we get a BFP. I've booked an early scan at just over 9 weeks as last time we weren't going to get our first scan until 13 weeks. Found out at 11 weeks baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks and no heartbeat so had to have medical management of miscarriage. Just tablets and then sent home but it was still horrendous. Just trying to relax and not worry too much but its soooo difficult.

Will you have an early test again?

ttcttc · 15/02/2023 13:36

@Rainbowbabyplease scan even. Sorry!

Rainbowbabyplease · 15/02/2023 15:49

@ttcttc I've booked a private one as they only do an early one on the nhs if you've had 2 miscarriages 😔

Is that every county or NHS trust specific do you know?

How early will a private scan you x

Rainbowbabyplease · 15/02/2023 16:21

@ttcttc my midwife said they would only offer me an early scan on nhs if I'd had 2 miscarriages. It might be worth seeing if your area are the same. The private early scans are from 9 weeks. I just searched Google to see if they did them in my area xx

Shellbabz · 15/02/2023 19:18

Hey lovely’s sorry I’ve been a bit quiet me, my hubby and my daughter have got Covid 😷 I did an ovulation test today for the first time and it’s come up so positive but according to the app I’m on im not supposed to be ovulating until Monday 😱xxx

That's a bit crap isn't it. I can ask. I'm only early so not referred myself yet xx

You know what men are like. He'd probably be keen regardless 😂.
