Hiya girlies!

Hope you all had lovely weekends. We've just had a long bank holiday weekend so I've been away from here for 3 days.

I'm CD 15 and with you symptom s

I'm not 100% sure that I O'd last night or this morning because for some reason OPKs never work - I just get a faint line for 2 days around day 13/14. But today and for the last two days I've had EWCM and last night and this morning mild period type pains and stabbing lower abdomen pain and my cervix has been high and soft.

We've just spent the weekend in Italy with my OH's relatives and managed to BD (very quietly) yesterday morning and the morning before and we'll get another in tonight.

Keeping everything crossed for all of us this month.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!

This is going to be far, far TMI but has anybody ever noticed a cloudy substance (I presume semen) in otherwise clear EWCM after BDing? I had this yesterday which means although some must have got away it is doing it's job!

Funny you should mention it because yes I had similar. I also seem to have had (sorry also TMI) mixed types of CM....it was rather watery with lots of stretchy EWCM in it IYKWIM.

We did use Pre-seed too, so goodness knows what wss what!

 

[celine]

I had that today! It looked like 20cm long ewcm but might of had spermies in there helping it along

Okay girls, I POAS OPK yesterday and the second line was very very very faint but then this morning my temp spiked, I so happy to see that spike because I was becoming very confused about the temps/dates/feelings in ovaries/EWCM disappearing at times etc. I've gotten a lot of bedding in and I think I'm going to go with the temps, which i hope don't like, and assume that I ov maybe 2 days ago on Sun since the cheapy POAS showed really nothing. Interested thing is todays is high temp is CD17, add 14 days, I'll be at CD31 which is the same cycle I was on for months before MC, so seems like body is returned to its previous cycle lenght, good to know!

How many of us have OV and are in the 2ww? Seems like Lyn is, Me,....we need to get our list together soon of where everyone is.

The 2ww is hard but its also good to know that is out of my hands now, I've done all I could do

 

[JJF]

Forgot one thing...just remembered, I didn't know how to use the cheapy sticks and when I dipped the stick in my cup of pee (TMI) I only kept it in there about 15 seconds, so now that I think about it, had I left it in there the 30 seconds I just read someone keeps it in there for, that line may have been darker......who knows, ha..

 

[poppielia]

hi lovelies i am on cd 14 today and should be ovulating today if i base it on a 28 day cycle. the problem is i have no ewcm, the cm is creamy instead and i have no symptoms so far. i started usng opks fri, thought they was all negative until i have looked at them all side by side when it was apparent that sundays was the darkest line of all. still not as darkas the control line but not far of it i would say. since the darker line sunday the tests have gotten fainter and fainter until i can barely see them so would that\ sound right to you girls if for example the test was in deed a positive opk on sunday? i am confused to be honest because i have no ovulation symptoms and creamy cm. We have been BD'ING it every day for the past 8 days so hopefuly we are gonna strike lucky at some point. the problem is i think i am now getting thrush from all the BD'ing we have gotten up to so i am feeling a little grotty because of that. any advice girlies? i could realy do with your help. its my first month using opk's and i am finding them a bit confusing. we not doing temps yet! may think about that at a later date. thanks xxxx

 

[celine]

Im almost there (me thinks) in the 2ww, so still bding until i see that temp spike, Im expecting to see it tomorrow.
Poor hubbs sprained sumthing bding last night, yet is still keen to cathc that egg tonight.
Dedication!

Sweetie, i have never got a line on an OPK anywhere near as dark as the control line. Now, I am using dipstick OPK's (internet Cheapies) and a CBFM and i am getting a completely positive reading of Ov on the CBFM, so depeding on what brand you are using, you may well find that even a smidgen of a line is all you get at Ov....despite the instructions!

 

[JJF]

Poppielia-I was going to same the same thing about the OPK's...I just used one yesterday for the first time but my friend mentioned that her line NEVER gets as dark as the control line. She said she keeps them so she can compare them each day...thought that was a good suggestion.

 

[Halle71]

I never get positives either and I use internet cheapies. I get a very, very faint line so I may just give uo now and use CM and cervix position to indicate ovulation as I think I can tell pretty well from that.
Although they do say you have LH in your body anyway so I guess if you go from nothing all month long to faint positives it must mean something.

Funny thing happened last night. We BD'd before sleeping and then, in the middle of the night I woke up to 'Sorry baby I'm too tired'. 'Huh?' I replied sleepily. Then I realised I had my hand on his 'bits' playing with them Must have been having nice dreams!!!

Anyway, I think I'll be in the 2ww from tomorrow so I'll be on your list!

[kittiekat]

Hi all,

Just wondering if I could join you girls? I am suppose to ovulate today according to FF. I got my positive OPK yesterday and my CM has dried up so its a case of just waiting and seeing ......

We are well covered as we have been for the past three nights and we will add in another tonight for good luck!

Well onwards and upwards onto 1dpo again.........

 

[JJF]

Welcome Kittiekat! Several of us are now in the 2ww, YIPPIE. I'm feeling very relaxed at the moment and excited to ride out this 2ww and hopefully get a BFP at the end of it!!!

Sorry guys, I've completely lost my way and don't know where i am this cycle! I did an OV stick Monday (first time! whoop whoop!) and i got a faint-ish line. Did one yesterday and the line was even fainter. Now i'm confused!!! Shouldn't the line get progressively darker every day? Does this mean we've missed our chance? I don't get it!!!!!!!!!!! arrggghhhh!!!!! Based on my last cycle being 49 days and the one before that being 42 days, i didn't expect to OV for over a week or more yet?! (Although previous to these two stupid cycles i had always been a regular 33 day girl, so decided to start testing Monday to be on safe side in case my cycles went back to normal).
I'm so confuddled by this whole thing!!! 13 months TTC and i still haven't a clue what my body is doing! How can this be??!!!
