Lizzie1302 · 07/01/2024 11:02

Hi guys!
Basically just a post to see if there's anyone in their tww who wants to try speed the process up by chatting 🤣
I think I'm 4dpo due to positive opk and Flo app
I know it's too soon to symptom spot but I've been having cramps ( as if I need the bathroom) since day after conception and cm not dried up yet

Not tracked ovulation properly before but always have a 28 day cycle but says I ovulated on cd 18-19 so not sure if I naturally ovulate later or if I'll have a late period
Anyone want to join me

Thanks for reply 😌 The thing is that we're not trying but we also don't use any protection so if it happens - great and vice versa. So I'm not symptom spotting, I just noticed that things are waaay different than usuall. I'm 4DPO and my lower back and lower abdomen is very crampy, I feel that annoying, dull pain and my breasts are more tender. It's very weird.
Fingers crossed 🤞 you get BFP ❤️❤️

BejbandM · 09/01/2024 10:23

I know it's early but it feels weird, it's different. I can't explain. And today I'm 4DPO and cramps are pretty annoying, my lower back and lower abdomen is proper crampy and that dull pain... Ugh... We'll see 🙈

Lizzie1302 · 09/01/2024 10:14

Would you guys mind if I posted a pic of my discharge I'd like your advice to see if you've had it before af or if you're experiencing it now

Not at all! Feel free 😌

Lizzie1302 · 09/01/2024 10:34

Thankyou ❤️yes that's how me and my oh ended up, we tried for a year or so and thought it wasn't going to happen so just thought if it happens it happens and it did! Took just over 2 years but I didn't symptom spot for most of it

That's exactly what I've got! Sometimes I do get bad cramps before my af but this started around 2dpo literally like dull ache in lower back and lower abdo as if period was coming and as if I'm constipated/ trapped wind

TRIGGER WARNING TMI PIC
So I've not checked my cm between ovulation and af before before but when I wipe 50% of the time I'm getting this, this was from about an hour ago

Artemis176 · 09/01/2024 10:49

I just had a look on Google and apparently CM is usually quite think and milky white during early pregnancy? Which matches the description of yours Lizzie 🤞🏼

Took a CB ultra early test this morning and also got BFN, AF isn't due until Monday thought so I'm not giving up hope yet

Firsttime0727 · 09/01/2024 10:55

I'm not really up to speed with monitoring CM so I can't really help sorry Lizzie 😔. I find it really hard to judge if I have EWCM or not? I don't know that I've ever seen it which makes me worry I'm not ovulating properly.....mine always seems to be more watery or creamy but I've never noticed it be stretchy which seems to be so important 😩

Lizzie1302 · 09/01/2024 12:03

@Artemis176 thankyou and yes that's what I read too but trying not to get my hopes up🙄 I think I've had it like the day before af because they say the yellow is caused by a tinge of blood before period but never this early. Aw it's horrible seeing the BFN isn't it. How many dpo are you now? One thing that is keeping my mind busy is the fact I never tested positive till almost a week late
@Firsttime0727 I do think they say it can just be really wet and watery- mine seems to be wet and then one day it's just stringy. Have you used ovulation tests

I'm no expert but did you say you are 6dpo? Could it be implantation bleeding?

This is my first month tracking ovulation yes 😊 I got a peak on CD 11 which is what the Flo app predicted so I'm hoping I did actually ovulate! I haven't tracked BbT yet, in two minds whether to try it or not x

BejbandM · 09/01/2024 13:32

I remember mine from my 2 pregnancies and it was yellowish and looked similar to yours.

Lizzie1302 · 09/01/2024 14:08

Ohh fingers crossed then maybe I did test too early I'm going on when my period should be instead of dpo.
Yes potentially @Firsttime0727 . I know with my first it was ewcm with blood but every pregnancy is different
How's everyone else's tww going

Slowly 😂 I don't know how people manage this month after month it's all consuming and I'm only on day 2 of TWW 😐
I'm just more aware of my body I think and over analysing every small thing! Realistically I would be VERY lucky to get BFP on month 1 of trying properly.
Keep me updated with all your symptoms though everyone, I love hearing from others in the same boat ❤️

Lizzie1302 · 09/01/2024 15:54

@Firsttime0727 Hey it might be lucky but not impossible! It's so tiring isn't it, it's nice to hear others stories too and be able to talk because my OH gets so fed up of me lol and not sure he wants to talk about my yellow stretchy discharge 🤣

Jademylo21 · 09/01/2024 18:00

I've been the same today and now constipated 🤦‍♀️ but found some red tint colour when wiping, which now im worried about. AF isn't technically due till Saturday which is 27 days although last month was 30 days and month before was 27 days. I'm really hoping the nausea and symptoms are a good sign but think I'm going to test in the morning. I can't wait any longer. I'm so scared for the result.

Lizzie1302 · 10/01/2024 08:28

How many dpo will you be today?
I THINK they say implantation bleeding can be like that. So when you wipe there's blood but not enough for a pad etc so fingers crossed for you! Let us know the results if you do test goodluck

Jademylo21 · 10/01/2024 10:28

I'm classing myself as 13dpo today. I had LH surge on 27 so potentially ovulate on 28th which would make me 13dpo today worst case could be 12dpo. I'm new to all this 🤦‍♀️ I done a test last night and this morning and both are BFN I'm feeling so deflated 😭😢 had red tinge in discharge this morning too. I'm really hoping AF isn't on her way. Think it might leave testing again until Saturday when AF is due

My fingers are crossed for you @Jademylo21

Perhaps if you are only just implanting, it may be another day or two before you get a BFP? Until that AF arrives you never know ❤️

Lizzie1302 · 10/01/2024 11:35

@Jademylo21 @Firsttime0727
Sorry for your bfn but like @Firsttime0727 it could be that if it is implantation it might take a bit longer. It's definitely early to be bleeding if AF is not due for another 3/4 dayw

Hi all, I'm actually feeling good today. I'm 4dpo now so still playing the waiting game. Just trying to log all my symptoms so I can compare each month and try to find patterns in my cycle.

Do you all do OPKs even after apparent ovulation? I see some people do and just wondering whether I should be as well?

Hope you are all feeling good and positive today ❤️

Lizzie1302 · 11/01/2024 08:12

Aww lovely glad you're doing well
I'm not too bad I had a migraine yesterday so wasn't feeling great but more positive today❤️
I've not had any symptoms it's like they've all disappeared although cramps still come and go. I'll be 8dpo today. Not testing AT ALL until Saturday as that's when I think my period is due

With the opk it's my first month properly doing it again I did it a few days before and then when I had a peak I did it the next day just to make sure it was the peak .... But then I had another peak ... 3 days I had a peak then yes it went negative again and I stopped testing

Oh sorry to hear you had a migraine they suck don't they! I suffer with migraines and headaches and I've always assumed they are hormone related for me.

Well done holding off taking a test until AF. I'm going to try and do the same but I make no promises 😂

I have occasional cramps daily and have had a lot more CM the last couple days.....but as it's my first cycle tracking properly I can't say if that's normal for me or not! Yesterday I was stressing that it meant I'd got my ovulation all wrong 😂 had to have a word with myself!

I stopped doing the OPKs after I knew I'd had my peak as well but the Premom app tells you to keep testing to make sure your levels stay down so wasnt sure.

Lizzie1302 · 11/01/2024 07:53

How are we all today @Artemis176 @BejbandM @Firsttime0727 @Jademylo21

I feel dreadful. 6dpo today, pinching in left lower abdomen yesterday almost all day and night, feel it this morning just a bit. Dull pain in lower back and still cramping. Just feel off today. How are you?

Jademylo21 · 11/01/2024 09:15

Feeling the same really, getting the cold now ontop of it but exhausted so im hoping those signs are good. My spotting was worse yday but no sign of AF yet, and no normal symptoms i get before AF🤞 didn't do another test today. Going to wait until Saturday. Was umming about it but decided I can't take the disappointment of a BFN again just now. @Firsttime0727 I've taken a few after my peak just to make sure it's on the down. @BejbandM I'm the same been feeling rough it comes and goes in waves. Feel like having a wee nap when I get home from work 🤣 hoping these are all good signs @Lizzie1302 we will both be testing on Saturday, ekkk 🙏🤞

Lizzie1302 · 11/01/2024 09:31

@Firsttime0727 you've had me googling now!!! 😂I have had a stressful week so migraine is probably stress related but just read headaches and sickness start around 8dpo which is what I am ( probably a coincidence) yes the first month is hard because it's the first time you're actually in tune with your body. I also read that if you get positive opks near your af it could mean you're pregnant as it confuses the ovulation hormone (lh) with pregnancy hormone ( HCG) don't know how true that is

@BejbandM sorry you're feeling rubbish. I keep thinking I don't mind feeling rubbish if I'm pregnant but if it's all for nothing ill not be happy haha but oooh fingers crossed it all sounds hopeful

@Jademylo21 yeeyyy hopefully they're bfp! Do you usually spot before af? Because I've read alot that you can have like 3-4 days spotting which is implantation. I had a cold with my first felt proper congested so fingers crossed it's positive
