6dpo carry on thread number 2

[Mummy1502]

@G3mini2 have had to make a new thread as we filled the other one, need to tag everyone else x

@PADonk some people don't get a positive till after period due so there's still hope 🤞🏻 2nd day in fertile window and we're dtd tonight I'm actually excited and hoping it'll work out 😂 I'm getting full cramping and feel clammy still so that's a god sign I could be ovulating this month. I mean I wasn't trying with my son and within the 2nd month of us actually being together we conceived I'm defo finding the second time harder 😫 xx

Tbf I'm kinda confused looking at my period tracker app... the gap between period to fertile week is usually a week... this time it's 4 days... does this look right🤔🤯 I have no idea xx

@Roses12345 haha I think I missed my peak. DTD 2 days before ovulation, had positive LH yesterday but didn’t and tonight I’m hoping it’s not too late (tracker says I should be O today but I don’t think so as my CM changed….) basically I think I missed it like last month. Already gutted and 2WW hasn’t even really started.

@PADonk ah I’m hoping you see something tomorrow morning so you know before your do. So shit talking yourself out of drinking and then AF comes and it was for nothing.

@G3mini2 fingers crossed it’s your time!

Oh also @G3mini2 completely forgot your last post.

mine fluctuates like that too (I use flo) but I’ve been reading so much about ovulation this month I don’t actually think the apps can pinpoint exactly. There was one study I stumbled upon that said only a small percentage of women actually ovulate in the middle of their cycle. Most do early or late which is why the only semi reliable method is LH testing although most accurate in bloods and not urine so still wouldn’t tell you 100%

@BB78910 oh I see, I was so confused as I was looking back at previous cycles and it's always been nearly a week apart I was so confused. Ahh that might mean I might've missed ovulation as I was cramping and clammy that seems to have subsided. I don't track for ovulation I saw it as another thing to stress over and be obsessed with and quite frankly I don't understand it so I've just gone with my app and symptoms 🤦🏻‍♀️ x

Morning ladies. Still BFN here but have packed a couple of ICs just in case. Starting to feel crampy tho and AF due tomorrow so pretty sure I’m out, so it’s up to you guys @BB78910 and @G3mini2 this month! Don’t be disheartened- 2 days pre-O still gives you a perfectly good shot! And @G3mini2 if this charts a bit out of whack I read it as you’re still yet to ovulate so get back pestering that poor man of yours! Xxx

@PADonk 2ww starts now!

@G3mini2 you know what’s funny. When I’ve gotten pregnant in the past I didn’t track anything. Now that I’ve been using LH tests I’ve not managed to. There’s definitely something in ‘don’t stress about it’ as far as the obsessiveness goes. I’ve literally bulk bought on eBay LH and one step ICs and I’m googling daily. So hard not to though. I don’t want to wait any longer and if (touch would not but) we have to try next cycle, the due date would be same month as my DD and I don’t want two birthdays in one month 🤣

@PADonk you're still not out yet period symptoms and pregnancy have very similar symptoms 🤞🏻 we didn't do the it last night I was asleep by 9🤦🏻‍♀️😂 we are definitely doing tonight and every night in fertile window.

@BB78910 I know exactly what you're saying it's sooo annoying 😂 my fella told me if we don't try we could possibly get pregnant faster but I know what I want every time we have sex it's gonna be in the back of my mind. When you want something so bad it's all you think about x

Morning ladies - I can’t quite believe it but I think I’ve finally got a 2nd line 🥹🫣 I had another test with me but that’s gone totally weird so can’t test again tonight but praying it’s right and it sticks around 🙏🏼

@G3mini2 did it happen last night?? @BB78910 Definitely with you both on the stress thing - you become completely obsessive but I read there’s no evidence re the impact on getting pregnant - “it happened the second I stopped thinking about it” is just much more of a compelling story than “I stressed every month for a year and then it happened” which made me feel much better. There’s just not an off switch xx

@PADonk omg I see it ❤️ I really hope it is! Can you get frer??
No my son ended up in bed with me last night he had a nightmare. But we dtd starting from today 3 days to ovulation now so these days are crucial x

@G3mini2 I’ve got a boots early detection at home I think so will do that as soon as I get in. Just trying not to get my hopes up too much / put a lid on the inevitable anxiety that comes now.

the only times I’ve ever got pregnant are when we’ve done it once or max twice in my fertile period - strongly believe in quality over quantity! Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@PADonk ohhh I got a good feeling about this 🥰 post a pic when you've done it please x

@PADonk OMG I SEE IT!!! Sooooo pleased for you - please keep us posted with the Boots test but honestly this looks very good!

theres defo no bearing on ‘stressing’ and conceiving I don’t know why every bloody ‘health’ website alludes to it - the NHS says even stress doesn’t impact pregnancies that much unless it’s chronic We DTD a day before and day after O I’m pretty sure so just don’t know. And by day I actually mean late at night so I don’t know. 2WW officially on. Yesterday I had the weirdest stringy CM but almost like rubber? The weird shit that happens to women honestly 🤣🤣🤣

@BB78910 sounds like a good sign to me. I had pretty heavy and thick cm ever since o day this time which was v unusual for me. I know obvs you can’t symptom spot until much later and have to implant but I think it must be a sign you’ve fertilised because it was such a noticeable change

just got home and RAN to the bathroom 😂 and line is still v faint but definitely there! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@PADonk yayyyyy congratulations!!!
yeah, there’s definitely conception symptoms I’ve always had thrush from the get go (tmi sorry)

@BB78910 i think after I’ve described my cm you’re allowed to say thrush 😂 ah I really hope it ends up being a good sign, and I hope the next 2 weeks flies by 🪽

@PADonk 🤣🤣 well here’s some more CM descriptors:
I’m so confused - LH strips are going down so I’m obviously no longer ovulating / it’s done. Such weird stuff is coming out of me - jelly like white pieces but almost consistency of slime? Not egg white, a lot firmer but clear blobs. What on earth is that

@PADonk congratulations sweetheart! Aww I'm soo happy for you ❤️

@PADonk massive congratulations!

@G3mini2 @PineappleK ah thanks girls - I was so sure I was out AGAIN and it was just never going to happen. Mixed emotions of disbelief and fear I’m going to get my period any second - hoping once it sinks in more and I start seeing line progression I’ll be able to relax a bit more.

@BB78910 that sounds (disgustingly) familiar! 😂

@PADonk 🤣🤣🤣
enjoy the line progression! Chuffed for you!

Morning all - how’s everyone getting on? Have you ovulated yet, @G3mini2? Any cm updates @BB78910 ?

I’m not feeling wholly optimistic over here - lines don’t seem to be getting any darker and when I went to the toilet this morning I had a fair amount of watery brown discharge 😔 apparently it can be fine but I’ve never had it before and I’ve just got a feeling. Will keep you all posted xx

@PADonk ahhh I don’t know what to say. It can be normal - maybe a residue from implantation as I’ve heard this can take a while to come out but like you, I’ve not had that before at the start of pregnancies.
The tests didn’t get darker for me daily but every 2-3 days which is what they say about Hcg rising so I wouldn’t worry about that too much until another couple of days xxxx keeping my fingers crossed for you though. Defo not an evap line though on that test you posted. Xx

@BB78910 ah thanks love, I rang the EPU and they’ve agreed to give me an early reassurance scan on the 24th so trying my best to think that must mean they’re fairly confident I’ll still be pregnant by then rather than they’re worried about an ectopic. Only had a little bit more brown this afternoon so hoping that’s the last of it, going to try and lay off the tests a few days too.

How you getting on? Xx

@PADonk okay great, I’m happy they’re looking after you! keeping everything crossed!
yeah I’m okay, loads of CM and a dodgy stomach last night so I’m hoping it’s a good sign it’s kind of what happened last time! The first day I can start testing in theory I’m flying out to see family for a week so I can’t crazy POAS which is probably a good thing x
