It's been 7 weeks since mc but still not af...when to ring the GP?

[mlm115]

So glad to hear from you Bobster! Trust me, I understand your feelings exactly and why you left bnb. Hopefully you get your bfp and we can all be preggo together! When do you think you will test?? Sounds like your timing was spot on.

Good to have you back bobster

I think I'm officially 1dpo today! So a few days behind you guys then I originally thought but this was serious Ewcm yesterday for just a day with some strong twinges so pretty certian this was o! we dtd last night but now dh is away for work so hoping it was enough.

I hate that feeling when you stand up and can feel it all sliding out lol, sorry tmi! I do hope some swimmers have stayed up there to get that eggy.

Wouldn't it be great if all 4 of us got a bfp this cycle and before day too!

Oh my God that would be amazing wouldn't it?! Especially as we've all suffered losses recently. Well I'm feeling just like you did yesterday Jane. Serious EWCM, my 2nd pos OPK (2 days in a row which is unusual for me) but no temp rise yet. DTD again last night which has knackered DH's stomach muscles but think we need to try again later for insurance! Had sharp twinges today and last night I woke up at 5am in serious abdo pain. What on earth? Anyway it all looks good for o time. Hope to see a temp rise today or tomorrow. I agree, the dripping is grim. Not sure I stood last night so I could avoid that feeling and keep as many in as poss. Exciting times though hey?
Nice to hear from you too Bobster, hope you're OK.

 

[bobster]

oh thanks guys. so we're all officially in the 2ww! I'm 6dpo today and had some mild cramps. Hate cramps as they always make me think of af. Boobs are also sore today. MLM- are you having any symptoms? What dpo do you all plan to test?

 

[bobster]

Mrsphez and Jane- you sound like you've got your bd timing right! I hate the gunk when you stand up too its grim. Bleugh! I put a softcup in afterwards once (they were handing out free samples) and that was even worse, you could see all the 'stuff' in the cup, ewwww!

I think I got my bd'ing mixed up, only did it the 2 days before my positive opk, not the day of it or anytime after. Do you think i still have a chance?

Definitely if you've got fertile CM around those days to keep the sperm happy!
Not sure we're gonna dtd tonight, we're both knackered!!! Must try though!

I'm exhausted today, but that doesn't necessarily mean its a symptom. Some sharp twinges yesterday, but not really today. I will test Thursday I think because I'm off work and DH won't catch me, haha. When are you testing?

 

[GI_Jane]

Oh didn't realise you could get the soft cups in the uk...not sure I like the thought of it though. I did sleep for 8 hours before I got up and felt it all dripping out so hopefully that will do the trick.

I went jogging 24 hours after we dtd, that was probably a stupid thing to do....hope I haven't ruined my chances with the bouncing around.

I agree with mrs phez bobster, if you had the Ewcm that helps them keep alive longer inside for when the egg does start its journey. I think that's why the pre seed is successful for people with not much ewcm, because it's very similar and keeps them swimmers happy.

I will test at 8dpo so another week for me to go....

What day will you test bob? The cramps could also be a little beanie snuggling in....so rubbish the the signs of af are the same as early pregnancy...sore boobs is a great sign though- not sure about you, but my boobs don't hurt before af.

Mine don't ever hurt either!
So we did manage to dtd last night and I definitely o'ed yesterday. My CM dried up yesterday and my temp spiked nicely this morning. BDed 2 days before o and day of so timing is good. Game on! Now do I have to give up my coffee? hmm maybe I'll wait till I get a BFP

I went out boogying at multiple clubs for hours and hours with some girlfriends the next night (just skipped the drinking) so I'm sure you are fine with the jogging.

 

[GI_Jane]

Thanks mackjess. I don't really want to put my exercising on hold during the 2ww, feels like TTC consumes so much of me already!

Mrs phez, sounds like you have timed things perfectly and it's great to have your temp confirm it was o. I've got to get me some b vitamins! What brand are they?

I've got creamy cm with a hint of stretchy-ness so to be honest I'm lost as to where I am in my cycle and only time will tell once I get af as to how crap my timing was again this cycle!

How are you doing Mlm and bobster, keeping busy and trying not to think about it? Either of you caved in and done a test?

 

[mlm115]

Of course I caved in! 8 dpo and a bfn. I know it's early, but don't feel like this is my month. Not feeling pregnant this time.

 

[MrsPhez]

Jane, just the cheapest I could find on ebay! Solgar I think or something like that......
Mlm I had a neg at 10dpo and got my bfp on 11dpo with both pregs, hang in there, there's still hope.
Got a hi pos OPOK today but I think they say to go from the first one to time ov. Not supposed toi carry on with them but cant resist, I need to POAS! Still, we're not bding tonight, all done in that respect! Fingers cerossed

 

[bobster]

Jane I'm sure jogging is fine. Sounds like you've o'd. My cm always turns creamy and has a slight bit of ewcm for a bit after. Did you dtd a lot?

I'm ok, of course I've caved and bfn today 7dpo.

 

[bobster]

Its strange how we're all in the 2ww together this cycle even though we all have completely different cycles... me and mlm and jane and phez are nearly at the same stages too! Maybe this is a sign that a quadruple bfp bonanza is coming up? if you have a 20% chance each cycle then surely one of us must get a bfp... it would be unfair if no one did. If no one does this cycle I think the thread must be cursed!

I agree with you Bobster, at least one of us has to get it this cycle! I would love quadruple bfps best though

 

[bobster]

MLM what are your symptoms so far?

My boobs are really sore now, started getting sore on 6dpo. I've also had mild cramps in the mornings (before having a wee) since ovulation. I'm not sure if this is such a good sign though as I had that last cycle. Apart from that i've not had any symptoms. Feel a bit snappy with oh and wanting my own space a bit but that could just be pmt.

How about you? Are you planning to test again soon? I might try and hold out until 11dpo now which is Sunday.

 

[GI_Jane]

I agree, at least one of us has to get a bfp!

I only dtd once when I had ewcm so I think I've less chance then you ladies but keeping hopeful.

Do you normally get sore boobs before af bobster? Do they hurt in your bra or just when you touch them? Just curious as is something I've not had before.

With my previous bfp I felt really bloated and my eye twitched for about 3 days before I tested. I wonder if you would get the same symptoms for different bfps? I do wonder if symptoms also vary depending if that pregnancy will go to term or not?

 

[mlm115]

No sore boobs for me, but then I've never had that before. I think mine are too small to get sore, haha. I am really pretty symptomless at the moment. Nothing that makes me think "ooh I might be pregnant!" I was kinda sad yesterday cause I'm assuming I'm out based on my lack of symptoms. Last time I had distinct pain/pulling in my uterus that I just KNEW meant I was preggo. I am also going to try to wait til Sunday Bobster. We can be strong together : )
