7DPO and lots of CM (sorry if TMI!)

[mangotango]

Awww frisky, I'm sorry!
That is awful you had a stillborn baby! But, yes, look at the son you have now! My mom had a miscarriage after my brother and if it weren't for miscarrying- I wouldn't be here! Everything in life happens for a reason and just don't ever forget that! That's good news you've had 3 normal periods now. That was the special number my ob/gyn gave me...he wants to see 3 normal before we conceive. Otherwise we could end up miscarrying or not implanting correctly if our bodies just aren't ready. Gosh, look how much birth control F's up our bodies!! I was wondering if I had a thyroid problem too but looks like I don't since I know that affects our cycles.
Good luck darling!

Sorry in advance if I'm rambling!! and if this ends up super long....I'm going to go crazy!

I think I'm due for AF Monday...or Tuesday...but could be Wednesday...but I guess it could be Sunday. My cycle started July 1st and my last few cycles have been 33, 27, 29, 30 days. Last cycle was 30. My cycles have been irregular since coming off depo shot and I've now only had 4 "somewhat normal" months, with last month and this month looking like I actually ovulated & sustained an elevated temp showing progesterone was present according to my temps. 3 cycles ago I don't think I had the progesterone side because though it looks like I ovulated, my temps were all over above and below my coverline. With all these crazy cycles, I know my body is probably still regulating itself. Only thing that seems to be exact so far is my ovulation day has been on CD15 for 3 cycles in a row. I've also had crazy different symptoms in the tww each month. Every month it's something new. Like itchy boobs this month?!? and the first month I had horrible painful boobs that I've never experienced ever in my life. So now I don't know what to expect...what to call pms because I don't have a "normal" pms yet. The only pms symptom I ever got in the past was some mild cramps the day or so before AF.

These cramps make me feel like AF is coming ANY day now...but it felt like that last Saturday. And since I don't even know when AF is really due, it's driving me crazy. New symptom last night...after itching boobs all day, there's a reddned area on one that looks like a bunch of red capillaries on the side of my boob. I don't know if my aerolas look darker or not?!? I can't tell, will it be obvious when they are?? but this spot with the capillaries is new. I know that they're supposed to get veiny when BFP, but I don't think they are, again, I can't tell so I'm guessing they aren't.

So now I sit and wait and go crazy not knowing if my body has new PMS symptoms I can add to the list or if my body is getting ready to home a fetus. This is the hardest part of the month for me, I'm still going to look at anything that happens in a positive eye (again, check in on me in a year and that may change ) but as AF gets closer, each BFN I get makes me feel like "nope, it's not going to happen this month or I'd already have a BFP or an obvious pregnancy sign." I just hope AF comes on time on Monday and I'm not waiting 2 extra days like last cycle...it's awful to tease us by being late. My brain is completely taken up by this, I think my husband notices it too and I just want to have a happy weekend with him and not think about pregnancy..unless I get a BFP of course. My temp had gone down a little yesterday I said, but it went back up a little today, not as high as it was, but it did come up...I also think the temp outside plays a role as it was soooo hot and now it's been much cooler the past few days. I think if it goes back down at all that I'm out for the month.

Again, sorry for rambling! I can't wait for us all to hopefully get
Have a great weekend ladies!

I've never temped, so I'm not too clued up on that sorry mango But your other symptoms sound promising. Also, some people don't get their BFP' s till way past OVD 14....I need to listen to my own advice sometimes!! Haha
Also, how accurate are the opk' s? My doctor told me to stop using them, as they add stress and are not reliable?

I'm currently running a bath as my cramps are killing in my tummy. And my tummy has gone HUGE A sure sign for me that I'm out xxx

Thanks again for your kind words and listening Xx

Thanks for the encouragement! I really do feel like the boob symptom is saying I'm preggo, the one just looks odd to me! But I know from the past few months you just never really know until that BFP comes or AF shows!

I use OPK's but more to "confirm" ovulation is coming. If you don't catch the LH surge at the right time, they aren't always helpful. A positive means that ovulation "should" come in 24-36ish hours, but you don't know where you are in the LH surge, meaning it could be the beginning of the surge and ovulation will be in 2 days or it's the end of the surge and ovulation is in a few hours. Does that make sense? If you don't pee on that stick at the right time, you might miss a positive reading. Last cycle I had 2 days in a row that were pretty dark positives but this month I only had 1 day that was a dark positive. I checked the next day and it was negative so I figured I'd probably be Oing if I didn't already and the next day was my temp spike. So it's more of a confirmation and way to say it should be coming, and then the temp confirms it came. For me, I see it's positive and then make sure I don't miss that day BDing! As I continue charting I'm sure I'll understand better and see if I always O on the same cycle day like I have been. But in reality, I don't think it's truly necessary to OPK if I'm charting temps.

I hope your cramps feel better! Enjoy your bath!

Welcome Irts

I know it gets more heartbreaking each month, it doesn't get easier.
I remember looking and posting on here last August when I had only been TTC 5 for 3 months & feeling sorry for the girls who had been trying a year more...and now I'm in that bracket

I'd like to thing as Betty said, it's just mother nature taking her time

I've tested again and got another BFN again!!
Also started with period like cramps now, so I know this isn't my month.
I'm scared to go toilet and find my spotting has started! Trying to hold it in!! Haha Xx

Thanks for the welcome friskyfish I used to think I was so foolish to want to be pregnant so bad, I'm glad that I'm not alone.

 

[lrts79]

Mangotango thanks for the post I go through the same thing every month, I am just hoping for the day when I will be pregnant with DH baby.

Baby dust to us all

 

[friskyfish]

Irts, you are not foolish & far from alone my lovely

Where are you up to now? Have you tested?
My AF due tomorrow, scared to wipe after loo in case I see the spotting, which, according to my calender SHOULD start today. Iv had cramps last night, bad ones...I'm also feeling like I need to go to the toilet with these cramps, but nothing happens??
Tested with fmu on a cheap test ( 3 for a pound) BFN

My cycles used to be 35 days long instead of 28.
I'm hoping they havnt just gone back to 35??
Mango, I'm gonna start temping next cycle I think.

How's everyone else today?? Xx

 

[friskyfish]

Betty, have you tested?? I hope the witch has stayed away Xx

 

[friskyfish]

Only me again...hope everyone's ok.
My son's playing out so I'm obviously stalking posts on here! Haaha

Still got slight cramping but no sore boobs
I've been thinking about some pregnancy symptoms & before all this TTC, charting and tww...nobody really noticed symptoms before hand. Well I didn't anyways, some women don't notice till a week after missed af. I think I'm looking too hard, I need something else to keep Me occupied...how hard is it NOT to obsess though?? Wish I could go back to the care free days

I keep getting wet down there (tmi I know, sorry) and I keep racing to toilet thinking af is here, but nothing yet, not even spotting.

Does anyone know if anyone has had a BFN day before af due, then gone on to get a positive??

Look at me...clinging on for dear life to last chance of hope! X

Sorry to ramble on, hope your all enjoying your weekend xxx

 

[Katlaw]

Hello Ladies, how are you all? I've been keeping up with you all just being quiet while I wait for this tww to be over!! I want so badly to see a BFP anywhere on this thread.. It gives me hope to see it happen for anyone of us.

Hey, how are you? When is af due & have you tested yet?

I so hope we are a lucky thread xxx

 

[Bettyt63]

Ladies hello!!! I feel like I have missed out on so much after being AWOL last night!!!!
Frisky, so sorry to hear about your stillborn, breaks my heart!
Mango.... Such lovely words
Welcome irts, feels like we have a lovely little thread going on here, I really feel a connection with you girls xxxx
Kat, how are you doing????
So AF is due for me today/tmrw.... I have absolutely no symptoms of either pg or AF so I'm in total limbo! I still don't think it's my month but that doesn't phase me.... If AF hasn't arrived by Tuesday I will use one of my super special clearblue digital tests that I have had stashed away for the last 6 months (I really don't want to use them as they are so bloody expensive!!!)
Ps: I have a feeling that someone on this thread with get a BFP this cycle!!!!!! I have everything crossed!!!
Mango you seem to be having some positive symptoms!!!!!
Keep posting ladies, it's so nice to chat with you all

 

[friskyfish]

Hello Betty, was beginning to worry about you!! Haha

I'm exactly the same, all symptoms of pregnancy and af have gone now, which is unusual for me as I do suffer bad with cramps & boob ache before af.
I'm wondering if I've got a longer cycle this time, it has been 35 days before now. I thought it had sorted itself out now though to 28-29 days!!

If I'm gonna get af, I just want it done with now & concentrate on next cycle...as hubby will be home around the correct dates
I had all hopes up earlier this week, but I've kind of resided to the fact this isn't my month now.
I've bought loads of cheap tests, just for the sake of it. If by some miracle, af doesn't show. Then I'll be purchasing a clear blue too. They ARE expensive...only worth it if you get that BFP!! Haha

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow betty, or today as it's now early hours of sunday..lets hope the witch stays away from us both xxx let us know of any developments.

 

[Katlaw]

@friskyfish, I'm fine thanks. AF is due Wednesday...

 

[Bettyt63]

Morning ladies..... No AF for me but will not be testing as I had cramps last night in bed and feels like she could show up later today, right on cue!!!!
Will keep you posted....
Hope everyone is feeling ok today... Kat, mango, irts do you guys have any new symptoms???
Frisky, what DPO are you now? Are you gonna test today???
Have a lovely day girls.... I will be back online later this evening as I'm about to go to a charity event now

 

[Katlaw]

AF came early.. I'm out. Next step will be to check and see of I have endometriosis.

 

[Bettyt63]

Oh kat..... I'm sorry
I also have endo, I had it pretty bad at one point and miraculously fell pg with my daughter! It can still happen for you, keep strong.
I'm sure I will be joining you soon and onto the next cycle we go!!!!
Stay positive and keep posting, we are all with you

 

[friskyfish]

AF came early.. I'm out. Next step will be to check and see of I have endometriosis.
