CD1 here, anyone else with me?

[mommyB]

Cheryl I am so interested to find out what is going on!! Whether you are just approaching O or if you are already past it! Either way I think you've got everything covered! The first time you thought it was your period when would you have been due for the next one (I hope that makes sense), because maybe if you have some IC's test just to see.

I agree you can totally self diagnose yourself by using google! I try to stay away from it as much as I can because you always read the worst news first! I learned it the hard way!

2DPO today and I still have some random cramping down low??? Not too sure what is going on but I really hope this TWW doesn't drag! I know some people prefer to stay away from BnB during the TWW because they start reading about symptoms and then go crazy, but for me I find this site helps keep me sane! What about you?

Take it easy...don't be under stress....just don't think that you are 2 dpo....try and focus on other things.....but it's not that easy.....I am right behind you cd4 .......

Mommyb I had cramps on 2dpo too and some on 3dpo. I'm now 5dpo and have been getting sharp pulsing twinges which last a couple of seconds really down low. I've had these pains before on other cycles but closer to my af so not sure what it is. Keep me updated with your symptoms!! and I agree with you on this site making me more sane. Lol it really doesn't bother me to read other ladies symptoms who got bfps and seeing if I have the same. I don't get completely disappointed when my af comes, it more like gives me hope while I'm waiting.

 

[CherylC3]

Aw ladies hoping you get ur BFPs, I don't have a clue with me my OPKs are looking darker and today my light spotting has went to black blood never had this before so I'm in limbo still goin to use my OPKs and see wot happens...x

I usually only get cramps the two days during ovulation and the day AF arrives and that's it! The cycle I got pregnant with DS I had cramping from ovulation to my BFP and that's how I knew because it was out of the norm for me. I am trying really hard not to read into anything yet because it's still so early. But I'm feeling pretty hopeful. My doctor felt that I shouldn't have any problems getting pregnant quickly (happened first real cycle last time). I'll deffinitely keep my symptoms updated on here, same goes for all of you!

 

[kimsu]

Cheryl I'm crossing my fingers for you! If it's never happened to you before it could definitely be implantation bleeding. I've read other threads where ladies implantation bleeding wasn't just spotting, it was almost like a period. With my first I never bled, but some women just don't, then again we weren't ttc so I might have spotted and never noticed. Keep us updated!!

mommyb it's almost impossible not to read into things when ttc. You shod have seen me my first cycle. Every little thing from a headache to having gas was a pregnancy symptom for me. I was so stressed I made my period late lol. I still love to think that things I feel are signs though. I really hope our cramping is positive signs for us.

So 5dpo today and LOTS of creamy cm. I usually tend to have some after o but not even close to this amount. I'm trying not to read into things like mommyb but I'm crossing my fingers that it's a good sign.

 

[SandyLee79]

well ive been busily wearing OH out he certainly isnt complaining about that

i have had some cramping down low yesterday and a little today nothing unbearable but just annoying really.

So there will be alot more hanky panky hello peeky boo going on over the next few days now

Im feeling confident this time round but again im not going to go beating myself up or worrying myself sick if i get AF its only my first cycle of TTC so i will start to grow concerns if im still failing in a couple more months. Right now im just staying positive and enjoying my hello peeky booing

 

[CherylC3]

Aw girls in the tww I've got a good feeling for yous this month... sandy the more the better for you..x
My bleeding stopped last night so we so il see wot my OPK says today....cxxx

 

[mommyB]

Hey girlies!!! I'm glad everyone is doing well! DH wanted to BD last night but I was having some weird crampy pressure down below and declined But yesterday he did say to me that he is going to be so excited when I'm pregnant! Oh and DH's family want to plan a family trip to Italy in September to visit family there (IL are from there), and I am hoping that I am pregnant by September (don't know how far along I'd be though). So yesterday when we were all talking about it DH and I were pretty quiet, LOL. I'm sure they know we are planning to get pregnant.

3DPO....time please hurry up....thank you! Cheryl let us know what your OPK says! What CD do you think your on now? I'm jealous of Sandy and all the hanky panky going on LOL. I just like saying hanky panky :wink: And Kimsu, creamy CM is deffinitely a good sign! I didn't have much the cycle I conceived DS and don't have much now. Fingers crossed ladies we have some BFP's coming our way.

And Mummy3ds I hoping you are having a great weekend!!!

 

[kimsu]

Cheryl I'm really curious about your bleeding. What CD are you on and how long are your cycles? Do you think you've already ovulated?

mommyb that pressure pain is such a good sign!! Baby dust!

sandy I always get little cramps the day before or the day I ovulate. Good luck! BTW I checked out that baking soda finger thread. That's crazy! I don't think I'd ever do it cuz I'd be scared but it sounds like it works lol

 

[SandyLee79]

hahaha kimsu yes i was pretty thrown by it but i tell you what if it comes to in a few cycles im crazy enough to give it a go! hahahaha. im interested to hear back if anyone gets a BFP from that thread because they tried it! lol.. we will see i guess

Yes im afraid ladies i may have already worn my man out. we had a little trouble keeping peeky boo awake and at attention tonight. BUT a little persuasion and hey presto hanky panky was back on track!. I might need to give my poor man a break tomorrow night

as long as we can hanky panky on the 8th 9th and 10th then i will leave him alone after that for while...... hmmm ok a little while.....if i can!

 

[CherylC3]

So ladies I thot I was on cd14 today but I now hav another af after it only going away last sat so i hav googled and self diagnosed myself lol... This can happen if u don't ovulate obviously my body getting back to normal after my mc so I'm now saying I'm on cd3 and stopping my OPKs till the bleeding stops... I now think waiting to o is far worse than the tww... Good luck ladies...xxx

 

[kimsu]

Cheryl I'm sorry to hear that. I agree with you though, waiting to O is way worse than the tww

Sandy you're so funny! You're brave I could never do it

i love reading your posts you make me giggle about this whole process.......but not going to share with dh as he may start to worry ha ha!! i'm due to ovulate tomorrow and been waving my sticks at him all day......got to prepare him for the smep of 3 days in a row......

 

[SandyLee79]

Thats right Kettle you show him whos boss! hehehehe

Im just having fun with it right now. im not taking it too seriously i have no need to. And hey if i can lighten the mood for the other ladies who are having a tuff time then im glad i can help in some kind of way.

Cheryl: i use to get "pre bleeds" before an AF and usually almost a week or up to 5 days prior, i never knew that it meant i didnt ovulate!!!. they would only last like a day two at most and always very light and sometimes a brownish colour?.. sorry for those who are trying to eat breakfast!!!!

Hmm something must have changed last month for me then cause i didnt get that whole pre bleed thingy!!!!. I hope it is just your body cleaning out the merchandise for a healthy sticky bubblet!.

So i let OH go to work today. i think he was glad the weekend is over!!!. poor dude, but he dosnt complain!!! he rather get lucky as he says than to live a drought! hahahahaha no chance of that happening at the moment!!!

in all seriousness though he is loving it all and is just as eager and excited about this whole process as me. And he likes the idea i have some wonderful ladies who are going through the same journey who i can relate and chat to.

He is definatly my mr wonderful!

 

[mommyB]

My DH is actually really into TTC this time around! It's nice when they are actually excited than it helps take a bit of stress away.

Cheryl you started bleeding again?

 

[CherylC3]

Yeah It defo helps when their really into trying too.. My dh is desperate for it to happen, I don't hav a clue wots happening with me there is some bleeding and it's different from a normal af so I don't hav a clue just going to OPK in between my bleeding days

 

[mommyB]

Cheryl have you tried taking an HPT just to see? You never know!

As for me I'm 4DPO and no real symptoms to spot today! I really feel like we didn't BD enough this cycle. Only time will tell, going to take my first test on Tuesday the 15th.
Hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[mummy3ds]

I also had a horrible headache last night, I actually had to take something for it and I don't usually do that! Plus I feel really congested and keep coughing.
