Please Help!

Hi everyone, im ttc and have been for about a year now, i am hoping this is my time! Have been to the hospital for fetility blood tests and confirms me and my partner are both fertile which was a relief!

I have my period the 28th of every month, which means my cycle is 32 days and I ovulate on the 18th.

I was ovulating last weds 14th sept had discharge and wet ness. Me and my partner had sex twice on the 11th & 12th and once on the 13th. so 2 days before O.
During Ovulation i had wetness and discharge but it didnt go away im now 8DPO and am still having wetness down there and white discharge, i noticed today (SORRY TMI) that a gloopy bit came out when i was going to the loo and it was really stretchy.
Since 2 days after O i have had increased wetness and discharge, been feeling a bit nauseus these past 3 or 4 days, tired, slight af type cramps but i am not due on for another 7 days! not sleeping properly at night, and peeing a lot more, ive just gone for a pee 3 times in the last hour!!!
For the past month iv been eating healthier, and taking regular exercise and drinking a cup of green tea at the end of each day.

A lot of people think im pregnant as theyv been through it themselves but im not sure, is it possible? ive been waiting so long and just want to be a mummy so bad!

Id be so grateful for all your answers, am to scared to test yet as dont want to get my hopes up like i have done for the past year!

Please let me know your thoughts x

[kristen]

[katiandjames]

I think she was just being rude.

It sounds good to me! When are you going to test?

 

[kristen]

Yeh i think so too!

I really hope so, i may test in a few more days but may wait until next weds when AF is due even though thats going to be torture lol
Im just concerened that the white stretchy stuff today was ovulation but i ovulated a week ago as has discharge and wetness when i O'd.
have you had similar symptoms?

I don't think she was trying to be rude; she just didn't want someone to get their hopes up bc pregnancy symptoms can be just like AF symptoms.

Honesty is never a bad thing!

Trust me, Indigo is far from rude.

I dont know when I ovulated exactly but my AF is 12 days late.
I have had all the symptoms besides sore BB, they are kinda tender but not sore. I have a lot of CM, and its is just now starting to slow down.

Hope you get you BFP!

 

[kristen]

That sounds promising hun, have you tested yet?

I had a terrible nights sleep, going to bed 3hrs before i normally do and couldnt get to sleep for 2hrs then woke up 3 hrs later desperate for a pee then woke up 2 hrs later again, I just woke up feeling empty stomached, dizzy and sickly.
Im not sure if its cause iv eaten a bit let than normal but i dont usually feel like this.

Thanks i hope you do too!

When are you planning to test?!

 

[kristen]

I was going to test at 11 dpo but my CM has dried up and is nothign on my underwear so i think im out for this month
good luck to you!

 

[Miaowzen]

Don't be discouraged... Look for a different sign!

 

[MichelleW]

Hi Kristen,

Do you temp or opk, how do you confirm your ovulation, I wouldnt trust cm on its own!

I opk and when I get a positive i ovulate two days later, my ovulation days changes nearly every month, but my luteal phase after stays the same.

Might be worth confirming ovulation for a few months as i find it helps a lot! xxxxxx

Baby dust to everyone X

 

[kristen]

I seem to have a little in underwear but i have possibly ovulated a week late, ive had tests to confirm i ovulate correctly on the 18th day and i always get my period on the 28th.
ive got some pains in both sides of my ovaries, i been feeling ridiculous hungry as well. I ate dinner but struggled as was getting full but i ate it all and then about 15mins later i felt empty stomached :S


Hi Michelle
Well i did try temping but It really confused me, i have been charting for past few months and i start to get discharge on the 1st fertile day, but i have never seen any stretchy mucus like i did the other day so i was quite startled when i saw it!
I think i should pay more attention to it from now on though!
ive noticed our cycles are pretty much the same length x

 

[kristen]

Im so gutted, i posted elsewhere and the girls seem to think i ovulated late
this was the only time me and my partner got to see eachother and it would have been the perfect time but then turns out i ovulated a week later! does that mean i will get my period a week??
im definately out now

 

[Miaowzen]

Usually your luteal phase (second half) stays the same length while the follicular phase changes. My o day varies from day 16 to day 22 and on a late month AF comes later too. Charting helps me a lot because then I can count from O day. I used to have anovulatory cycles up to 55 days long, so charting became necessary for me to see if my changes to supplements, diet and lifestyle were fixing my health problems. Luckily they did and I O every month now. In your case you may have been delayed - it happens. Our cycles become changed by stress, lifestyle, lunar cycles and other women being in our space.

Hey Kristen,

What was it that confused you about the temping? I take my temp every morning when the alarm goes off without getting out of bed, I can post my charts for you to have a look at you can clearly see when I ovulate, think the earliest I've ovulated is around day 16 and latest day 23, sometimes if your a bit stressed or your daily routine differs for a few days, this can delay your ovulation by a few days, that's why I temp every month so I dont miss, i start using opk's from day 10 in my cycle and soon as i get a positive i know im going to ovulate within the next 2 days, I have a gradual build up on opk to which is good as soon as i see it starting to increase my and dh start b'd until my temp shifts. It has worked for me, unfortunately has a miss the first time i fell at 12 weeks and the second was an ectopic, but I tried for over a year listening to my doctors and had no luck, they go by such standard rules that i prefer using this way and will hopefully get a sticky bean soon xxx

Lots of baby dust for you hunni xxxxx

 

[kristen]

its so confusing lol, ive read on here at around the same time other girls have had stretchy discharge once and then got BFP a week later. ive honestly never noticed that even when i was ovulating, when i was calculated to ovulate i got white watery CM from the first fertile day.
today ive woken up with horrific cramps! not due for another 3 days though! so im praying im not going to get AF.

i just didnt really know what i was looking for in when i wrote down my temperature, do you have to be in bed to do it? i think i may give it a go now though, yeh thank you hun that would be really helpful.
ive been happier this month and healthier as well since losing some weight and eating healthier & drinking green tea so im hoping this all went in my favour.

Im so sorry to hear about your losses im so hoping you get your BFP soon though, ive been trying for a year too, got paranoid that there was something wrong with me and i went to the hospital for tests and everything is fine which is a relief but when it doesnt happen it makes you wonder...i used to get my ovulation day wrong thinking i had a 28 day cycle when its a 32 so that may be why i have missed my chances!
I think the doctors are useless as they act like they dont care

ive just joined up to fertility friend hoping it will help, are any of you girls using it?

love&luck xxxx

 

[MichelleW]

Hi Kristen,

I use fertility friend its really great for charting, as you just take your temp at SAME TIME every morning BEFORE getting out of bed, basically as soon as my alarm goes off I take my temp! before doing anything else, fertility friend is great as you just put in your temp, your cervical mucus how you feel that day, you can record your opk's it has been so helpful for me. Me and my husband got tests done at the fertility specialist and everything came back good so they have just diagnosed us with unexplained infertility and will probably go back in a few months to discuss ivf/icsi etc, but to be honest I'm confident that it will happen for me, just dont want another miss.

You can look at my chart on the link below, you will see the clear temp shift from the day I ovulated and then post ovulation.
