MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

Quick question for anyone who knows, but why is CM so unreliable after ovulation?? Isn't it supposed to "dry up"?

TMI: but I just used the restroom, and there was abundant amount of creamy CM, but it was white. Like I thought it was lotion. You always hear about it being "lotiony", but I thought that meant consistency. And it usually is, but white? That has never happened.

I looked it up on the forums and internet, and it just seems like everyone is different

Can we wait till I get a darker line? Although in person its much darker. I'm scared now. Lol. I think I'm 10dpo not 100% normally cycler is 28 days but late by 2 days last time so was expecting it between Fri and sun. I'm in shock.

Absolutely! I'm sure it will get darker! Have you looked at the pregnancy results by brand graphs on countdowntopregnancy before? You can look at your brand to compare to others results at each dpo.

It's definitely natural to be scared. It's something we all want so much. I'm thinking of you and wishing you sticky dust!

Oooo will have a look on there when I get home! Gl to any other testing! Xxx

It's under "Pregnancy tests" then "Stats by brands". What brand did you use?

I hope this can comfort you some in case you can't get to look at it for a while.

First Response Early Result
All were pregnant, but some were false negatives in percentages.

Tests on 10 dpo
Total positive: 74.8% Total negative(False Negative): 25.1%

Very Faint Positive 25.1% 212 tests
Faint Positive 36.4% 308 tests
Standard Positive 12.2% 103 tests
Strong Positive 1.1% 9 tests
Negative 24.6% 208 tests
Evap 0.5% 4 tests

So assuming you are at 10 dpo you would be most likely to get a faint positive based on brand stats.

Would be interested to hear opinions on the CM post earlier, too. I'm due on saturday but have been having similar CM... Aching bbs, extreme exhaustion (but also busy the disturbed sleep) and some nausea...

Good luck mummy to hp - hope it is a sticky one!!

Here's what I've heard/read/put together based on cm after ovulation.

It is supposed to be dry after ovulation, but we can have some fertile cm because the corpus luteum produces estrogen as well as progesterone. FF says that observing cm after ovulation will not provide definite clues.

However, I have read about a lot of women who said they did experience more or different cm when they were pregnant. I've heard everything from watery to thick creamy/lotiony. I've also heard that white cm can be a sign.

We know everything that is a sign can be a sign for af as well. I wondered if FF charts could give a better indication of it. I searched charts that resulted in pregnancy that had "fertile cm post-o". I guess I can't say for sure, but there are many charts that did show watery, creamy, and ewcm after ovulation. Unfortunately, I looked for charts that did not end in pregnancy with "fertile cm post-o" and there were a lot of those too.

You might consider it a sign if it is something different for you. Perhaps ladies with children could tell us about past experiences.

View attachment 607557 just checking in with you all- my tests are getting darker and still got symptoms- fingers crossed my first u/s is may 17th- an eternity away lol. I'm on progesterone- 100mg 3 times a day so I feel that is helping. Good luck to all you testing tomorrow!!!

Congrats hunni. H&H 9 months to you. xx

 

[lesh07]

I was doing so well and really thought I may make it to Saturday. But I was so super emotional the last couple of days and had a coupe of things that didnt seem 'normal' and on top of that my DS yesterday kept talking about his 'brother' that I took it as a sign and........


Its a pretty awful shot the line is not really dark but its much easier to see. I hope it really is a line. Now I am scared.

I can see a line. Good luck hun. xxx

 

[lesh07]

Hi ladies well Haven't dtd for the past 5 nights as have been feeling pretty poorly. I have just been so emotional the past few days, I have been breaking down crying, Taking things to personally and just struggling emotionally all together! It's like a switch has been flipped and still getting really bad cramping that just doesn't want to go, It varies from dull cramping to slight sharp twinges!!

I hope all you other ladies are doing okay in the tww and massive congrats to the people who have had there BFP's already. xxxxx

 

[hopeforamirac]

7dpo and had a big dip in temp this morning :/ not sure if it was because my room was cold and i had my mouth open tho... god i hate the 2ww

 

[Hopeful2014]

MAY , HERE WE COME!!!

Ladies, Remember
1. That it's not over until AF comes.
2. That many ladies get false negatives
3. That implantation happens 6-12 dpo
4. That we are here for you no matter what

I know some of us will test early, so tell me when you post if you want to be updated as AF or BFP or if you're still waiting whenever you know. Good luck and fingers crossed!

Morning ladies! I haven't tested yet cuz I'm trying to hold as long as possible. Lol. Got up in the middle of the night to pee. Lol.

Speaking of, i have a small dilemma...i normally get up at 7:30 to temp, but i woke up at 4:30 and took it and it was 98.09. Big dip. So i turned off my alarm and woke back up at 8:30 and it was 98.46. Now i don't know which to use! Lol! The higher one is not too much higher that they have been and the low one is way lower than they have been. Ugh! I'm usually do good about temping and i rarely wake up at night to pee. So confusing and frustrating!

 

[Kwaggy]

Off to my day 12 scan. Hoping for some big follies!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@burgbrandy I'd probably use the second temp since it is closer to regular time especially if you didn't do much while awake first time. You can try to adjust it. Good luck!!!

@Kwaggy Let us know how it goes today. Good luck!

 

[kksy9b]

I'm excited - AF showed up as expected today so I have "officially" (read: changed my status on BnB) moved over! Now for the TWW to ovulation

Good luck this month ladies! I hope we all get our BFP's!

 

[burgbrandy]

Can u see anything? Im not sure, but i think there may be something! Still super early at 7/8 dpo, so im not getting my hopes up! Af isnt due til may 9th.

 

[allforthegirl]

@Mommy to HP my Dr says a line is a line, so he would tell you, you are pregnant. So Congrats!!

AFM I could swear AF should be here the way I am cramping, but temps did not drop today at all but .01C. Other than that I am not interested in eating all day yesterday, and ready for bed at 8:30pm LOL Then this morning I am still sleepy and still yawning like it is no ones business. I have no more tests..... Think I should test or wait?

I can't tell if the line is pink, but I can see a line. How long did you wait before you took the test?
