Trying for a 2016 baby

Hello ladies!

Happy mother's day to those of you that are mothers.

@MrsSmith - Sorry to hear about your pain, keep an eye on it and definitely get it checked if it happens again and gets worse or if you start vomiting.

@ninies - FX for a BFP, im also temping and noticed my temp dipped this morning, hoping its the pre- O dip. Its my first month temping too ..

@CarienM - As long as u got a bit of Bd in then you should be fine. You have managed to pinpoint the Big O to within two days which is great! Catch eggy

@Anzel - I am so happy you are just enjoying life and giving yourself a break, sometimes all one needs is a little rest and relaxation and BAM you get a BFP. How is your diet going?

@Jay-Bee - Have you had an O signs yet? Im following closely behind you and CarienM

AFM, CD10, have had one pain free day since last week with this wretched cyst, hoping it has cleared up now and getting ready for the big O. No signs this side yet, will prob take my first OPK on CD12 or 13.

Is anyone in the TWW or beyond and waiting to test?

Carien - the positive opk means you will ovulate within 12-36 hours, so you seldom ovulate the same day that you have the positive opk, normally a day or 2 afterwards. Your signs all sound fantastic, and the fact that there's still ewm the day after the positive opk is perfect. My guess is you would ov either sunday or today. If the cm suddenly clears up today, then you ov'd yesterday, if it suddenly clears up tomorrow, then you ov'd today. Etc. It all sounds totally perfect and very positive indeed.

Ninies - your temp should stay higher for the rest of this cycle, and only dip just before af arrives. The first half of the cycle (follicular phase) your temp is somewhat lower. Then at ov time it rises, and in the luteal phase (second part of cycle) it remains higher than it was before ov. That's how you pinpoint ov. then it sometimes dips again I think the day (or 2) before af arrives.
On the CM front - I often tend to get an increase in cm (usually whitish) in the days leading up to AF, so that might also be totally normal

AF - I had the weirdest thing happen last night. We were bd'ing and just as dh ended I got the biggest most painful spasm starting down there. He removed himself and my spasm just got worse and worse. I was in serious pain! (this was definitely not a pleasant / climax type spasm). It spread through my entire abdomen. I have no idea what it was. First thought was that I'm pregnant and didn't realise and the sex caused mega contractions, but it was way worse than any contractions I've ever experienced. I just kept trying to focus myself and breathe through them. It spread up to just under my right ribcage and also into my right shoulder. I suspect it's most likely intestinal rather than uterine, but not really sure. I do tend to find intestinal cramps ten thousand times more painful than labour pains. I had severe intestinal cramps after my son was born caused by constipation (my intestines turned out to be totally full, despite the fact that my stomach was working normally daily). I remember being doubled over in pain, convinced something serious was wrong, only to go to the gynae, have him scan and essentially tell me I was full of sh*t (literally). So ya, it was most likely that again. But dang it was sore!
Thankfully it's gone today but my lower abdoment / uterus area feels somewhat bruised and tender still. I did my one and only hpt this morning just in case and it was a bfn. I think I'm 10dpo today but not really sure. So ya, that's my only *symptom* so far.

Hello ladies,

Hope you all had a good weekend and for those of you who are mothers already - hope you had a super special day.

@CarienM - Sorry hun I havent experienced that yet and wont be able to assist with any advise or so.

@Anzel - So glad to see you hun. And I am so glad that you O on your own. That is awesome. Take care of yourself.

@Liza - How are you girl? Any symptoms of AF on your side?

@Mrs Smith - How are you doing?

AFM I am on CD 25 today and not much symptoms....But I am anticipating AF to arrive later this week...between Thursday and Saturday.
I am still taking my temperature and it is still higher than what it was. Not sure when it will dip as this is the first month of charting my temps.
I do have some white CM but no burning when I urinate, wonder it if is a mild yeast infection.

Hello ladies, hoping everyone is having a good weekend. I have my nose in the books while trying to figure out what is going on with my fertility signs. They are really all over the place!

So I was convinced I was going to O on Friday (CD14), I got a (what I think to be) positive OPK in the morning and again the same in the evening. I had quite a bit of EWCM which really made me think I was right. But to be sure, I tested again on Saturday (CD15) and got a more positive reading, both in the morning and again in the evening. I also got EWCM but also creamy CM?? Had (what I think to be) ovulation stings (cant really call them pains as they dont really hurt, just feel something) and so I was pretty sure I then O'd yesterday, but then today I again have EWCM?? I have had it before that I had EWCM after I ovulated so that is not really the confusing part, it was the EWCM and creamy CM I got on my most positive OPK day that is confusing!!

Anybody else had this before?

I am still convinced I will ovulate today, some time today, but will have to wait and see I guess, will do another test this evening and will hopefully know either way.

Hoping everyone has a great weekend, I am looking forward (not) to studying all weekend for my exam Monday

Hi, girls

Just popping in to say hi. I'm enjoying the break a lot this month. No pressure. BD'ing with DH is more spontaneous and fun and we are both just enjoying each other.

Good luck to all of you in the TWW and for those waiting for ovulation. It looks like I ovulated naturally this month. Without any meds. And lots of EWCM. So who knows?

Take care of all of you. You are all in my thoughts, even though I'm not always around.

@MTC - I heard about your heartache. I'm so sorry about your loss. Luckily he left now, and not when a new baby arrived. I know it's not nice to hear, but maybe you are better off. You deserve someone who will stick with you through everything. You are in my thoughts and prayers, girl!

@Jay-bee, honey! How have you been?

Welcome to all the new girls - Hoping your TTC journey is short and sweet.

@ Cariem, I think you will get a darker line later on tonight or even tomorrow morning. I think I will O on Sunday or latest on Monday.

We will be in out tww together

GL with the OPK
