Okay so cycle #5 of TTC #1 and despite catching ov everytime with lots of BDing nothing is happening. This month I thought F-it I am not going to bother in fact we weren't even going to try due to husbands exams. But then typically this is the month with a lot more ewcm and ovulation 3/4 days early than average and in the end we had sex once on day of ov. So much much less chance than in previous months. Anyhow I am now 8DPO and sat here with incredible "ovulation cramps" I mean they are really painful pinches on my left hand side. I am on day 24 of my cycle and my monitor detected the peak on day 16 so I doubt I missed ovulation the first time but now my brain is working overtime thinking its implantation pains. Except for the fact a duller version of this pain has been part of my life since we started TTC and scans and everything haven't found anything odd so technically this pain although particularly painful today is not hugely unusual for me.
The other thing addling my brain is the fact I have had a horrendous cold the past 4 days and initially I was thinking oh well thats it then no chance this month- then someone pointed out that if the body is fighting off an infection the immunes system may not fight off a fertilised egg implanting and knew of several women who had got pregnant just after being ill. NARGH! Anyhow I know its too early to test. My test date is 31st Jan- next sat (14DPO)- but I may test thursday/see if period arrives (12DPO) as my average luteal phase is 12 days.
Okay anyhow just wanted to ramble my current thoughts. Pats on the heads and "don't be a silly girl" all welcome,
