Anyone want to join? I'm going insane!! I'm not sure whether it's because it will be our last chance to have a baby in 2024 or that this is our 5th cycle so if AF comes it then marks half a year of trying, but I'm struggling this cycle. Need distraction! Lol

More lovely random CM for me this eve. Hopefully you’ve all eaten. Sorry

MissEmily5 · 11/04/2024 21:33

@Hopethisendswell Yep, she thought it was a light period, but what are the chances of us both experiencing that…plus I don’t want to ask her exactly as I don’t want to get her hopes up. But you’re right, let’s think positive, I think it’s just thrown me that it’s started so early and there’s been a few differences this month- thank you for your positivity 🥰

It’s all so strange! I hope it’s all good signs for that BFP.
How are you feeling today?

Louki35 · 11/04/2024 21:34

Oh my goodness I’m literally just out the loo and hopefully not TMI but I have had a mixture of cervical mucus there……thick cream like plus egg white stringy? What’s that all about?
I got the sicky feeling there too when I was at my grans, I’m like 3/4dpo am I being bonkers?

just learning this whole thing how I’ve not missed anyone’s reply’s 🫧😊🤍

ToeBeans24 · 11/04/2024 21:46

@Louki35 thats exactly how my CM has been since 3dpo!

Louki35 · 11/04/2024 22:09

@ToeBeans24 no way 🤔 what does that mean? I haven’t paid this much attention before so I feel like I’m super inspecting everything lol 🫧🤭🤍

ToeBeans24 · 11/04/2024 22:35

I wish I knew haha. No idea. I definitely haven’t had it before. Mines not creamy but a mixture of EWCM looking stuff and very watery

Hopethisendswell · 11/04/2024 22:41

I think OPW/Ovulation Party Week should become a standard Mumsnet term 😆(if it isn't already...)

Perked up a bit since this morning, no idea what was happening then. Thank you for all your kind words 🥰

Hope things look hopeful for you tomorrow @MissEmily5 and that anyone testing tomorrow gets the result they need xx

Louki35 · 11/04/2024 22:50

@Hopethisendswell @ToeBeans24
Swear this is the longest wait EVER!
im still getting little twinges low in my stomach, waves of nausea which I never get and this weird CM thing?
when I had my first baby I had zero symptoms that I noticed, when I found out I was like waiting on sore boobs or the sickness lol I don’t know if we’ve DTD enough tho at the time of ovulation but it does only take the once!

Has anyone had an HSG procedure then fallen pregnant soon after?
🫧😊🤍

How are you feeling today?

My first pregnancy I got what I thought was my period - it was actual strong cramping and a pool of deep red blood in my underwear. I was out having dinner at the time and rushed home. By the time I got home it seemed to have stopped. For 4 days after that I had just slight brown spotting every day. I remember googling ‘brown spotting 4 days, no period’ and my boobs were still sore. All the results I got were about pregnancy.

I did a test the very next day and I was pregnant. At the time I chose to end that pregnancy due to personal reasons but I continued brown spotting for a week after that until it ended. When I went for the ultrasound (part of the procedure), all was fine inside.

In my second pregnancy long time after that I didn’t have brown spotting. So it’s different depending each pregnancy I think, but it’s more common than people think

Hopethisendswell · 12/04/2024 07:20

Same here, bleeding with DS and nothing with DD, but felt ill from a few days of implantation with both of them.

(BFN today at 10dpo, no symptoms but lots of energy and lotiony CM, cervix is definitely lower and harder).

It's Friday at last! 🥳 What's everyone's plans for the weekend?

Sarah268 · 12/04/2024 07:41

A weekend away with DH for me. Hopefully a good distraction! And also living vicariously through all you ladies testing this weekend 😂

I’ve still got zero symptoms, no cramping, nothing so I’m assuming it’s a nope this month but I’m sure I’ll test on Monday anyway! AF due Thursday I think.

Does anyone know when your BBT will drop before AF? Is it literally morning of or can it be a few days before?

Ontheflipside_ · 12/04/2024 08:34

Hi ladies!! Happy Friday 😊 BFN at 10dpo for me today. Really feel like AF is coming, got all my normal signs. I'm due Sunday so that checks out. Feeling more upbeat than I thought. I'm sure it'll hit when she's actually here!

ToeBeans24 · 12/04/2024 08:37

Same - bfn here at 9dpo. Very sad 😢

Louki35 · 12/04/2024 08:42

Happy Friday Ladies!

Today is a great day, to have a great day!!!

I still have slight twinges but no sicky feeling yet today.

I had zero symptoms with my first @Sarah268 so don’t rule yourself out!

I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend, I’m on day………4/5dpo it’s draaaaaaaging!

🫧😊🤍

Louki35 · 12/04/2024 10:28

Oh no @ToeBeans24 @Hopethisendswell stop testing, I swear I tested every day on the Thursday negative, Friday positive! It literally happens over night, I’m trying so hard not to think about implantation or symptoms because I feel silly it’s blooming awful isn’t it, you defo second guess yourself 🫧😊🤍

My bulk pack of 40 tests turned up 😨what was I thinking 😂I'll be testing 3 times a day at this rate @Louki35

Might have another chat to DH about just taking a relaxed approach and seeing if any 'happy little accidents' happen this year.

sirensong · 12/04/2024 10:53

It's amusing how I've been looking at women with children differently since I recently decided to give this a go. Previously I sort of shuddered at their lives of unenviable restrictions as I flitted all year between holidays, lie ins and restaurants. Now I silently salute their impeccable ovaries and superbly timed intercourse.

Hopethisendswell · 12/04/2024 11:25

Ah @sirensong that must be really hard 💕how are things going today? Hope that your hol has given you some distraction xx

sirensong · 12/04/2024 11:33

More laughing at my absurdity nodding in appreciation at the inner clock workings of strangers than actually folorn. It's so strange that we all cart about this insanely complex body machinery with no control over its operation.

I've had some more gummy yellow discharge again today which actually is starting to look slightly pinker so I think it's the start of spotting

Hopethisendswell · 12/04/2024 12:11

How many dpo are you now? I can't keep up with everyone 😅@Ontheflipside_

Hoping there's a chance it's implantation for you 🤞

Louki35 · 12/04/2024 12:31

@Ontheflipside_
is this your first pregnancy to?

Have any of you been for an HSG procedure at all?

🫧😊🤍 #5dpo

Hopethisendswell · 12/04/2024 12:37

I'm afraid I can't help with HSG, I had to Google it! Hopefully someone will be able to help soon x

Ontheflipside_ · 12/04/2024 12:43

@HHopethisendswell I'm 10dpo now. I had a digital positive with my DD when I got pregnant, so I don't think implantation sadly
