33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[Daisies11]

Sorry af showed current cupcake, but glad you're out of limbo and can move into the next month. Here's hoping citrus is right and you are more fertile after a chemical and you get a bfp this month!

Thank bassit, I'm so so happy, but wishing away the weeks to our scan. After that I feel like you can relax into it more and enjoy once you've hopefully seen a happy little bean! It's a relief when you get the first af after bcp as you've got something more definite to work out dates from.

Kim, I had differences in my cm this month. After af creamy, then wet around ov (no ewcm), then creamy, then wet, and then very slightly stretchy creamy. I hope too that your weird cycle is a bfp one!

Cupcake that website about cervix changes sounds really interesting. I've tried checking mine to help indicate ov etc but it just seemed to be all over the place and never as the stuff I was reading would suggest it should be!

Hmm that's interesting, Happycupcake. I have noticed that I have been soooo thirsty for the past few days so maybe with all the extra water and tea (not herbal tea 😑&#128521I have been drinking is just causing more cm? I swear, yesterday the cm was white and creamy and loads of it. Then by lunch time till now it's back to ew. Maybe I did already O? I guess we will find out in about 13 days if af arrives lol last cycle was a 16 day lp. So if I am in fact 3dpo then I should expect af in 13-15 days. I'm hoping this weird cycle ends in a bfp 😊

I did three things different cycle just gone - drank lots more water, as in some days more than 3L (had to stop this because it was messing with electrolytes and making me feel light headed and dizzy!), I also had been taking prenatal vitamins for a few weeks, so they should have started to kick in, and I started having acupuncture. I think it was due to hydration more than anything, because cm is mostly made of water.
If you have been drinking more caffeine-free liquid then it could well be why you have seen more of this. It also isn't unusual to see it after ov. Keep an eye on things though (which is where temping comes in handy here), because ewcm during your lp can indicate your lp is oestrogen dominant, instead of progesterone, since progesterone usually dries up cm. Temping can tell you this as your temps during your lp should stay above 36.6. Before ov, when oestrogen is dominant, when it should be, temps should stay below 36.4 for the most part. Too many temperature variables each cycle can indicate imbalances, especially when you see other indicators as well.
However, during a regular cycle it is of course completely possible to see ewcm and for many it's a part of their typical cycle. Which is why temping is so useful. Obviously pregnancy can alter cm too, lots of things can

Daisies, thanks. I'm relieved I can move on from this. Technically, although if I hadn't tested I wouldn't have been aware, a chemical is an early miscarriage so it's possible fertility may be increased afterwards. I have heard this with early miscarriages. I wasn't sure if the same applied to chemicals since it's so much earlier than how I guess our idea of early miscarriage is. But we will see I guess.

I know what you mean about getting to that first scan, it's like the first hurdle. Things always seem so uncertain before this time but I have a good feeling you will be ok.
I will link the website about cervixes, it's interesting! If a little graphic, lol

Here we are

[Daisies11]

I'll have a look at that later, I'm interested. I think a chemical should follow suit in the fertility thing then, as you say it is an early miscarriage, just some people wouldn't have known. Your body has still gone through the same initial stages and been exposed to the same hormones so that seems logical to me.

What's everyone got planned for the weekend?

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Happycupcake, I just read the article. I'm now thinking I haven't ovulated yet. That my body tried to but didn't the first time and now I am. We did bd last night and I'm going to try my best to again tonight. If I wake up with super sore nipples soon, I'll know lol

Ughhh what is with this super long crazy weird cycle I'm having?! I have a lot more ewcm today, super horney and cervix is high very soft and very open! Soooo we'll see in a few days either way lol

 

[Daisies11]

I just had a read of that article cupcake, it is interesting. Bodies are clever things, all these things that happen that we generally don't notice and pay no attention to!

You say it's a super long cycle Kim- how long & is it longer than usual? When are you going to start testing?

Who's next to test?

 

[JessyG]

I will probably test on monday 10dpo but really not sure the point. I feel precisely nothing. Will be out before we even start next month because my OH is away on training the weeks o am likely to o.

Sorry i am being on a bit of a downer been in a miserable mood all week and work has been a chore so i am feeling pretty beat and very much lookingvforward to my 4 days off work.

Kim this cycle does sound wacky for you too. Have you manage t keep up the bd sessions or are you both done in?

 

[ladders]

Don't worry jessy your not being a downer we all feel like that sometimes especially in your situation when you know next cycle isn't going to be possible to try. I still think you have a great chance this month though and I won't be surprised if you don't need yo try next cycke anyways!

Thanks for the article cupcake it's really interesting. How are you feeling?

Kim definitely sounds like your having a wacky annoying cycle! What's going on with us this month it's stupid! How are your nips this morning do you think you've o?

So I'm cycke day 11 now and no positive yet but trying not to think when it will come or worry because it was so so stressful last time waiting for o and don't want to do that again. I'm not initating anything until I get my positive so when I do I know I can get a couple of bds in without a fight. Just really hoping my lp will be normal this cycle or that's going to totally stress me

 

[happycupcake]

Kim, I hope your cycle sorts itself out soon! Are you using OPKs? I know you stopped using them but in light of you thinking perhaps ov hasn't happened have you started using them?

Daisies it is interesting. I find my cp changes or I can't tell. Sometimes I find it too hard to tell whether it's soft or medium.

Jessy I hope you feel brighter soon. I don't think you should count yourself out, if I remember correctly both Daisies and Anni weren't hugely hopeful this cycle but look what happened! This could be you next week and I have everything crossed it is.

Ladders, when do you usually ov? I hope it happens soon for you.
I don't know what's happened because usually this is me a week to ten days leading up to af, but instead I'm CD3 and feel completely miserable with precisely zero motivation and it's like PMS has hit out of the blue. Felt like this since about Monday, usually by this point I'm feeling more human.

I don't know what everyone else is up to but we are currently sat here watching the Kinect 2 as it keeps detecting a guest who isn't actually here. My husband went into our attic the other day and there was this strange mist. I have also been seeing this figure looking over our bannister and someone keeps turning Jesus around (I have rosary beads on my wardrobe). The energy here has felt quite negative recently so today it looks like we will mostly be saging the house and ghost hunting

 

[JessyG]

Usual saturday here. I have done some housework and the food shop and my OH took DD swimming (I hate swimming so this is their bonding time ) just relaxing just now before they come back and want lunch made.

I am 8dpo today and jusy thought id feel something to make me think i am preggo. Last month i was almost convinced i wasp regnant and i wasnt so am just trying to do think that i may be so its less disappointing if it is a bfn.

 

[happycupcake]

I didn't feel pregnant with our daughter. I didn't have any symptoms, sometimes this is a symptom in itself

 

[citrusfruit]

Yes and remember how convinced daisies was and then that line!

CD5 here...nothing to report but I did buy my opks yesterday so will begin testing on CD15 or so.

 

[annio84]

Hi ladies,

Sorry I've been a bit quiet, I think I have tonsilitis and every single bit of me hurts.

Jessy, no symptoms does not make you out.

Cupcake, sorry you're not feeling better yet. If you did have a chemical this month perhaps it's your hormones catching up with you. I have heard you're more likely to fall pregnant after a chemical, that it's your bodies way of preparing for a full pregnancy. I hope this is the case for you. Also, as for your 'guest' I hope they stop bothering you soon. I've seen a few things in my time (before I had grace a man used to sit in the back passenger seat of my car) but never anything less than friendly.

Bassit, thankyou. I'm really happy but also finding it quite hard to relax. Where are you up to now?

Kim, Hope you Ov soon if you haven't already and that this crazy cycle rewards you with a bfp.

Everyone else I hope you are well.

 

[happycupcake]

Anni, I'm sorry you have tonsillitis, my sister gets it frequently and I remember when my husband had it, it looks awful! Have you been given antibiotics? I hope you are better soon.

This makes me relieved I don't drive lol! I don't mind them hanging around but I wouldn't like someone in the back of my car

This is strange, occasionally, or maybe more often it's hard to tell, I'm only seeing part of people's posts. Not sure if this is cos I'm on my phone but it's odd. I've quoted cupcakes post from earlier...gathering there was more to see than just that?!

 

[JessyG]

No i think that was in relation to my post that i dont feel remotely pregnant and am fairly confident thay af will arrive next week.

 

[citrusfruit]

I know, but was there more to that post? As that is all I can see?

 

[JessyG]

Thats all i see aswell

 

[citrusfruit]

Oh ok guess all is well then!! Haha thanks jessy don't like to feel I'm missing out!

 

[happycupcake]

It's ok Citrus, that was all I posted. I posted more in the previous page, but the post you quoted was only that sentence relating to Jessy. It must look weird though, considering I usually write an essay lol
