Thanks leah. Ive been using cheapies alongside cb. Cheapies show almost non existent line! Just been for a run and pinkish cm so now thinking ive overdone exercise (same usual distance!) as too early for IB. Had regular sex since friday and plan to dtd tonight too. Will keep doing cb for few more days in case im ovulating late but as i daid due to short cycle my leutal phase will definately be too short to conceive this month

I suppose if af does arrive you have a good plan in place! Aunty Flo is not very considerate to us all!

Helen I've only used their own brand digital but I was about a week late then! Do you have any ovulation tests? I would maybe check ovulation in the next couple of days if af doesn't arrive, just incase you skip a period and your body gears to ovulate again!

Melly I've had pink in my cm around ovulation, it's supposed to mean you're very fertile. Sometimes the cb doesn't pick up your peak so don't be disheartened. I've had months before where ov tests haven't shown ovulation but bloods by the gp said I did. It's so confusing! Also if you do ovulate later I'm sure your LP will adjust. Fingers crossed!

No she certainly hasn't I've just been to the toilet and she's definitely here!! Xx

Should there be any change in cm if I was pregnant rather than awaiting AF?

 

[Melly41]

Thanks Leah and sorry to hear has arrived! at least now she's arrived you can ring the clinic! Pinkish cm gone now but I hadn't clocked it could have been sign of peak fertility or ovulation! Duh! Guess so hung up needing to see ewcm!

Pink...cm can change if pregnant but not the most reliable measure given we are all very different. Keep my fingers crossed you get some news soon x

 

[MrsS15]

Yeah unfortunately pink there's no exact cm that indicates pregnancy. Some people get wet, some creamy and some dry.

Thanks Melly, it's light just now so not sure if they'll class this as day 1 or not :/ going to see what it's like at 3ish then maybe call them!
I thought the same when I had pinkish cm cos I was so focused on looking for ewcm. Apparently it means very fertile! Xx

 

[Melly41]

Thanks leah. Will dtd again tonight and hope it means im ovulating at the mo. Hope you get appointment soon at clinic to discuss your plan. X

 

[Pinkz]

Thanks for advice. Just have to sit tight. there should just be some kind of specific indication so you know lol

 

[Melly41]

I know! its very frustrating!

Leah....any updates on your af? X

 

[MrsS15]

I know, if only. Would probably leave this forum very quiet if there was an obvious sign

It's still very pale brown on wiping and not an awful lot. Not enough to be classed as CD1 I don't think. I'm sure it'll be here properly tomorrow so I'll call them then. Thanks for asking xx

They're right, ive been preg 7 times now, and ive had all sorts!! with my last one and this pregnancy i had nothing was so dry until about 6/7 weeks, whereas others i was getting loads of super white cm at 3dpo!! xx

 

[Melly41]

Well if she does arrive good luck with the clinic x

 

[MrsS15]

Well if she does arrive good luck with the clinic x

So I had brown spotting since Saturday and then today I got Cramoping and AF is here 4 days late..a 1st for me as nevery get spotting before hand. I have the worst cramp and feeling very low and sorry for myself...I cant believe all those symptoms ! The next time I am not symptom spotting or testing u till I am like 1 week late ! Good luck everyone testing soon. I am back to the count down to TTC #cycle 2 Thanks for your support the past week!

 

[PeanutButter]

Ahh, i used to hate that, have so many symptoms and then bam she arrives and i swore id never do it again or test early, but there i was next month testing at 5dpo and having all these symptoms again. Its hard! I hate ttc and i highly doubt we'll try for another after this one. Was the worst 2 years of my life!! xx

 

[Melly41]

Sorry to hear tha alexis...thats so annoying! Its hard not SS. I hope next month is your month x

 

[MrsS15]

Sorry Alexis, it can be so hard when you have all those symptoms. Our bodies are so cruel at times. Good luck for next cycle!

Period definitely started now but wasn't until 6pm so I'm sure they class tomorrow as CD1. Well I hope they do! I'll phone up tomorrow morning xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Ahh Leah, im sorry af came, but im also excited for the start of your IVF journey. I hope it works first time and you'll have a bouncing baby by xmas!! xx

 

[MrsS15]

Thanks so much lovely. I'm feeling so positive about starting this but I hope I'm not setting myself up for a big disappointment! We seen a tiny baby in Asda today and my hubby said 'that will be us at Xmas' and I wanted to cry. I have no other wish in my whole life! Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Whats the percentage of it working first time? Im glad your feeling positive about it, cant wait for your bfp post heh!! xx
Awhh thats so cute! When we see little babies my hubbys just like are you ok? lol.

 

[MrsS15]

Awe thank you the success rates my clinic have on their boards are 54%. The consultant said because I'm young and have already ha a child our chances are high. They're also trialling ICSI for everyone to see if the success rates are higher so we're getting that too even though we don't need it. Hopefully it boosts our chances further! We usually don't say anything about the little babies but we've made a pact we're only going to be positive so I know he was giving that a try. Fingers crossed he's right!! Xx
