My ovulation day is predicted the 14th, but not sign of EWCM just yet so may be a few days later.

Anyone want some company this cycle?

@Westy22 Oooh! I can see it’s getting darker! Looking forward to seeing it by the end of the week. How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

Westy22 · 26/02/2024 13:45

I say the nipples burning switched on today lol @Emilyx00 other than that I'm just tired and get the odd wave of nausea. Just praying it gets darker 🙏 xx

Emilyx00 · 26/02/2024 14:43

@Westy22 it’s getting darker already, how exciting. When will your EDD be based on your LMP? x

Emilyx00 · 26/02/2024 14:45

I have one sore boob now (literally just started hurting) and cramping in my right side. I get this before AF so I’m pretty sure I’m out. sigh ☹️

Adamsapple89 · 26/02/2024 15:00

@Emilyx00 you never know. I’m feeling the same with my spotting. Deflated

Westy22 · 26/02/2024 15:12

It would be early November @Emilyx00 but right now I'm just hoping I get to the end of this month lol its difficult imagining that far when you've gone through a loss 🙈 your not out till it arrives 🤞

Emilyx00 · 26/02/2024 16:11

@Adamsapple89 it does feel deflating. I was just saying on another thread that TTC makes me feel like my life is on hold because I feel anxious to plan anything in case I then fall pregnant. I also get HG in my pregnancies so it makes living ‘normally’ even harder so I really don’t want to plan anything just in case. Do you usually spot before your period? I spotted with my daughter and done a test and it was negative, took another about a week later and it was positive so you might not be out (although I know how hard it is!)

@Westy22 Aww I know. It’s a scary time isn’t it? I had a miscarriage in December so I will probably feel the same when I fall. As hard as it is, try to relax (I know I know, easy for me to say and hard to believe when you’ve had a loss!) you are pregnant now, and in November, you will be holding your little one. Christmas will be amazing this year. I’m hoping I will be joining you! Would love to experience Christmas with a newborn. xx

Adamsapple89 · 26/02/2024 16:52

@Emilyx00 oh my SIL had that her last pregnancy and it seems so awful so I can’t imagine not wanting to plan. I’m wanting to book a holiday for August but then I think do I not go long haul etc so annoying. I do spot max 3 days before but normally 1-2. This month is 6dpo, 9dpo and currently 10dpo which period due Friday but just have the negative feeling xx

Shortcake06 · 26/02/2024 16:57

Sending love to all with negative pregnancy tests. Not completely out until period comes. Hugs.
I am still cramping on and off, 4th day now. No sign of bleeding. On day 26 and my last cycle was 23 days (I seemed to randomly ovulate early but in hindsight I never saw a blazing positive).
it’s all a bit weird. If I’m still not bleeding by tomorrow I will do a test. Pretty certain I’m out though

piechipsgravy · 26/02/2024 17:06

Thanks @Shortcake06 and @overthinkersanonnymus - I've been referred to the breast clinic on the 2WW as doctor felt something- actually wasn't expecting that and thought I'd get told I was imagining things!
I asked if the change in texture could be caused by early pregnancy and she said possibly yes so will remain hopeful. If AF comes soon then I'll have other things to focus on than TTC for a while! I'm 12DPO now and think I'll test Thursday morning.

YorkshirePeridot · 26/02/2024 17:13

Hugs to everyone who's feeling low currently.

I'm officially out. There's no point pretending this is anything other than my period arrived early. I'm going to try not to worry about the fact that I've only had a 9-10 day luteal phase and go into the next cycle with lessons learned and a positive mindset. And on the plus side, I can have a glass of wine tonight!

@Shortcake06 I'm so glad that I saw your post where you mentioned a short luteal phase not preventing you from conceiving previously as soon as I clicked into the thread. Makes me feel much better. 💕

Shortcake06 · 26/02/2024 17:49

@YorkshirePeridot may I ask if you are ttc your first? I worried so so much about my luteal phase the first time. Took a load of different supplements. It’s just what my cycles are like. Conceived my first on the 6th cycle of trying with a 10/11 day LP. And I have been pregnant another time. So I don’t overthink it any more 😘 shorter cycles = more chances.

YorkshirePeridot · 26/02/2024 18:00

@Shortcake06 Yes I am ttc for the first time, thank you so much for the reassurance 🥰 I had my implant removed in December after 9 years and didn't track ovulation in Jan so I have no idea if this is normal for me yet!

Anonxo · 26/02/2024 18:02

Anyone else fighting the urge to POAS knowing full well it is too early 🙃

I don’t even know what I would get out of it I think it’s just a case of idle hands

Shortcake06 · 27/02/2024 08:46

Did a test this morning, most stark white negative I’ve ever seen 🫠

overthinkersanonnymus · 27/02/2024 08:58

@Anonxo I've been testing from 6pm so 😂

@Shortcake06 sorry to hear that. I'm 11dpo today and I've not even bothered testing, I know I'm out. Just waiting for AF now

@Shortcake06 @overthinkersanonnymus Sorry to hear that.. There is still time for both of you!

I am officially out for this month. Started pink spotting yesterday evening and and it's actually quite a lot this morning, so I know later today AF will be in full swing. I'll be ovulating again around the 13th.

Shortcake06 · 27/02/2024 09:53

Would be nice to join in again next month 😁
For the next week I’ll be enjoying lots of hot baths, caffeine and alcohol 😃

AnnieStar12 · 27/02/2024 10:03

Im now 13DPO and didn’t even bother to test today as I know I’m out. I can feel AF getting ready.
Did three tests yesterday - all negative as can be :(

I did that also. I had symptoms last week and a vfl on a clear blue but now think it was evap. Symptoms all gone but no AF and no positive.

Ginny2018 · 27/02/2024 13:12

@Shortcake06 Haha I was actually considering to go to the spa and treat myself to some sushi this weekend 😛

I'll definately be around for the next month! Honestly it's been really helpful chatting with others about this experience!

@AnnieStar12 @Rosyposy26 Im Also 12/13 DPO today and had an interesting TWW with symptoms from 2/3 DPO up to 10/11dpo then they suddenly stopped/ become less crazy, I'm still struggling with fatigue and some random twinges now and again.
Had one glob/spot Sat evening and again last night but now just back to watery white/ yellow discharge but only in the cervix not falling out.

Still have my fingers crossed for both of you, are you keeping a diary of your symptoms so you can compare if need that's what I'm doing, i have already noticed my symptoms are different to last month

Yeah I am I don’t feel AF is coming slight sore boobs and occasional waves of nausea and decaf coffee taste awful!

I’m had an early MC start of Feb and doctor said take that as my period and had my peak on the 13th. Had some weird pains end of last week and yesterday a dull ache low down in pelvis. Not much discharge only when wipe though some thick creamy discharge last night after I did my run in my knickers.

feel slightly confused but if implantation didn’t happen until last week may be to soon to test and I have been testing like a mad women so going to wait now. (That’s the theory).

Cremant31 · 27/02/2024 14:30

Silently following this as in the same boat, it’s been really helpful reading this thread.
TTC for second child and although it’s only been a few months feeling really dissapointed and upset - I’ve surprised myself by how much I wanted it !
I’ve been doing cheap tests all weekend and caved in and bought a clear blue early detection one today which was a stark negative.
My cycles are anything from 27-35 days but according to the ovulation tests I ovulated around 14-15th Feb.
I've decided to not do any ovulation tests next month or test until later in cycle, it’s been very mentally draining!
Sending good vibes in everyones direction x

Jellybelly888 · 27/02/2024 14:47

Hi ladies, I hope I’m ok joining? New to this site but seen this thread and been reading intently! I’m 36, PCOS and been trying for 1.5 years. In that time, nothing, not even a whisper of a line on tests. Had some investigations, partner sperm fine, my tubes fine. Been put on a concoction of drugs of metformin for PCOS and also myo-inositol. Recently I noticed my TSH levels for my thyroid were higher than they should be at 8.9. GP will tell you that’s in the normal range, however after a year and a half of no pregnancy at all, I went to the Gp and basically demanded to be put on thyroxine because levels of women wanting to conceive needs to be under TSH level 2.5.

Anyway, 7 weeks after being put on the tablets, we conceived and I got my BFP today at 12dpo, which means baby was conceived on Valentine’s Day!!

still in shock x

Anyone due to ovulate around Valentine's Day?
