Ooooh so excited for you baby.3!

Sjf, congrats on the digi, even more exciting for you now!

CD13 today. Well I'm a bit lost now, OPK this morning was a fairly decent line like last nights, BUT this morning I had a small amount of lotion/watery creamy like CM, which I'm sure I've only ever had after ov?! So it could possibly be that my close to positive OPKs in morning and afternoon of CD11 and pains I had during the night of CD11/early hours CD12 mean that I have ov! X

I suspected as much! Yay, so what does that put you at dpo? Keep doing the OPKs just in case but I think all signs point to you having already Ov'd. You must have Judy had a quick surge this cycle. Good luck xx

I would say 2DPO if that's correct. I'm not 100% convinced that I have ov yet, but like you say, it would all add up and make sense. Gutted we didn't BD on night of CD11 but we did on CD10, if I had thought ov was possible then I would have made sure we did BD on CD11. Am I right in saying that the lotion/creamy watery like CM only happens on or after ov?

Will keep testing with OPKs, to make sure I don't miss ov.

Thanks everyone. I'm just heartbroken. I wish I would have never told my husband but I was excited and thought this was it. Will try again this month. Hope I can get my cycle right now

Ahhh okay well in that case you will be tipping thwm into a drawer after this month's bfp and saying "see you in a year or so!" hehe

Yea that's the plan I'll just store them till they are needed again because we already know we are going to try again so no point on getting rid

*I honestly it only started about 10 mins ago have a really weird stretching pulling feeling from the left hand side below my underwear line going right up to just under my belly button but only on the left side

Maybe it's your uterus stretching to make room for baby! I hope so!!!! FX xxx

I so hope it is like symptom wise I should be totally convinced this is my month but emotional wise I'm not convinced I'm just not feeling it so I'm half like omg this is it and the other half of me is like no girl your in this for the long haul you got 80 opks last month your gonna be using them up before it happens

I was like this last month.....and it happened. Of course I don't wish you to go in the same way as didn't end up well, but I wish you to be pregnant very soon, doesn't matter how many OPK you got left

thanks hun I honestly really hope I do get my bfp but I'm really just not feeling it so it will be a nice surprise.

Wow look at that Digi! Congrats!

So I am an emotional wreck this morning. I did a test BFN as I already knew / it is early and also a cheap test but thinking so many women get theirs early. Actually in tears and I don’t know why. It’s exactly what I expected! I think I’m just so stressed at work and Work such long hours that I don’t think this is going to help ttc. I feel like I’m in a vicious cycle. The tears are exactly how I get before AF (though actually it used to be worse when I was on the pill weirdly) I literally feel like I could scream at someone today for just looking at me - lol. Im upset too because I wanted to come off the pill last year straight after our wedding but my husband said yes then changed his mind and now this is why I should have come off - I feel under pressure and worried about how long it may take. And now I’m looking at next month thinking il be 31! Sorry for the moan - at a bit of a loss.

Hope everything is okay coffe fingers crossed for you.

I will also be keeping the opks lol as my OH wants another right away - if we ever get to the first!
Chattychar hope Cyprus is lovely have a drink for me please!

Sending huge hugs hun it is hard to see those bfns but hang in there your not out untill the red lady sings

Whoops.....just saw you are going for no 2 straightway (after you are hopefully ‘with child’ this month)

Yea once we have baby one we will have a bit of a break but we will be ttc again having 2 close together I'm 29 this year and I don't want to be getting closer to 40 specially if my body can handle more pregnancies as we want 3 -4 really but 2 is the definate

Think my positive didn't stick and I will need to be put down for testing another date. Appears to be AF coming this morning or a chemical. Not real sure what to do here do I need to call a dr or just let it pass.

Thanks everyone. I'm just heartbroken. I wish I would have never told my husband but I was excited and thought this was it. Will try again this month. Hope I can get my cycle right now

Coffee I'm so sorry hunni I'd contact your doctor just so they have record of it but otherwise they don't really so much sending huge hugs hun

Morning ladies,

I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to tell my OH the good news before our anniversary trip. He knew I’d be testing so I thought I’d best tell him haha... so I was super excited to tell him but he saw the test that said ‘pregnant 1-2 weeks’ and said ‘no you’re not’... he said he’s not getting excited yet (because of our previous MC) and he will only believe it more when I go past the stage I did last time (5weeks+1day) so another 8 days to go before I get a bit of excitement out of him haha. I really wanted a ‘wow’ and amazed reaction but I understand he’s just protecting himself and trying to protect me from any disappointment in case we MC again... I know he is excited and I’m sure he will talk about it over the weekend. X

I couldn't believe you waited as long as you did, i had to wait like 12 hours to tell my oh and even that was driving me insane

I see what your partner is saying, but sometimes you need them to be positive and give you reassurance, as it does make us feel a bit more anxious, well it did me anyway, as my oh wanted to see it in words before he properly believed it. Men

Congratulations again and hopefully this one is your sticky bean

Men indeed! Haha. Our MC affected him more than he thought it would do so I do understand but like you said, I could do with some positivity so for now, you ladies are my positivity so thanks! In our relationship I’ve always been the optimist and he is the pessimist, it balances us out well. The only time he was optimistic was when we were waiting to find out about our MC and he did so much research that he said he wouldn’t believe we were having a MC until a doctor/nurse confirmed it... I really needed him to be my rock and be positive then and he really was bless him.

We are always counting down to something, cycle days, days past ovulation, days until we can test and now I’m counting down the days until I’m past the date I was last time I was pregnant haha... it’s all a waiting game! For now I’m just going to enjoy it and try to stop counting (but knowing me I won’t be able to!)

Glad to hear from you anyway IVW and I hope all is well with you? X

Thats exactly like my partner, its so frustrating i had to have a stern word with my oh a few weeks back as his anxiety over it all was making me feel even worse, which i think he understood so has calmed down now and got used to the fact that what will be will be.

When was it you suffered the mc? I would highly recommend a private scan, that gave us so much reassurance as the wait between scans is sooooo long

All good this end, cooking away nicely, with the constant sick feeling - lovely x

 

[IVW]

How are you IVW?

Im good thank you, albeit a bit sicky, but i am counting myself lucky that i am not suffering more than that.

I keep dipping in here to see how you ladies are doing

sending lots and lots of baby dust

Really don't know, will carry on with OPK testing and see what happens. X

Definitely get the deed done anyway - all sounds positive to me

 

[Coffee77]

I called obgyn yesterday they told me to call an obstetrician since they don't deliver babies anymore. I never called them because the spotting. I'm not sure who to call about this.

 

[EmmaN27]

Ladies, the lotion/creamy watery type CM, do any of you have this before ov, or is it always ov/post ov time? Thanks x

Call your obgyn hun they can tell you where to go from there

I only get creamy after ovulation

 

[Vintageling]

Got some cramps this morning but not as bad as they normally are still a good bit of CM and temp is still.above my cover line

 

[Piglet30]

Yeah, I go creamy AFTER ov which gets thicker for a few days then either disappears or, more likely for me, turns into watery brown tinged CM.

 

[Crumble]

100% it's is, it's dried even darker! How odd, I wonder if the evening primrose oil/vitamin E has spur the follicles on? It's the only thing that's been different this cycle x

I been in the same situation last month, it is a chemical hun, so sorry. Call the doctor and let them to put it in your record for future reference
If you need to talk I am here x

 

[Crumble]

For future reference I will wait well past the date my AF should start....this is heartbreaking. 3 tests all conforming positive to just have this happen. Two good things I can go back to drinking regular coffee and at least it is possible to get a positive.

Yes, this is what I am going to do....I will never test early anymore, it is too painful.

[Coffee77]

I am calling now

 

[EmmaN27]

Thanks Vintageling and Piglet. On that basis, I think it could be quite likely I'm 2DPO today then. Would make sense as I've not had anymore EWCM the last day or two. After ov I don't usually get much CM, just a little bit of the lotion like CM for a day or two in mornings. We did BD last night but I went a wee straight after and again this morning before I got the CM, so assuming it's not from BD and is from ov. X
