Hi ladies.

I'm on CD26 at about 11/12dpo (I'm going with 12). I missed a few BBT's this month so decided to discard the rest as no crosshairs show.

1-6dpo: No real symptoms (although I don't really symptom spot so early after Ovulation)
7dpo: Irritable and moody
8dpo: Nothing really, my doggy started coughing (he has never done that before in the four years we've had him but after some research, I diagnosed him with kennel cough - he seems to be getting over it and has infected our other dog now, so I think I was right)
9dpo: Detected some ewcm but not 100% certain as it was a bit cloudy
10dpo: Nothing much, a bit of sensitivity around my breasts but that is normal for me.
11dpo: ewcm again, clearer this time, with a bit of red blood on one end, hope it's not af showing early.
12dpo: nausea and headache this morning, cervix is dry/sticky

I won't test until the 30th but I'll keep updating my dpo symptoms.

Update:
13dpo: fatigue, nausea, restlessness
14dpo: ewcm is back but also feels more 'wet' - usually have creamy or nothing after O

Hi EElse, fingers crossed for you that spot of red followed by a cm change is very promising! Any fatigue? Also I'm sorry your dogs are ill I hope they're better soon!

Congrats Aideen, sticky vibes

AFM I have been updating my post:

9DPO: woke up crampy. Felt like AF but I prayed it away hehe. Egg white cm with sticky bits. Hot flash this morning. Boobs look huge. Also, upset bowels? cramps in the evening too, and some minor ovary pain
10DPO: Boobs still big and still burn, during last night having them touched didn't feel sexual, like during bfing. Couldn't check cm in an because of the bd, cp low and squishy. Cm was egg white when checked at noon, lotion pm. Oh and I have a cold (sore throat, runny nose)
11DPO: Cervix dropped low, cm lotion in am but creamy/sticky in pm. Boobs deflating and becoming more normal. Minor ovary pain, minor cramps. I feel out. Oh and cold is gone, back to just a sore throat.
12DPO: woke up nauseous!!! I thought it would fade but it hasn't. cervix low, cm is still gooier than last month, it is lotion and egg white but not quite the usual dry sticky bits. Boobs burned before bed and nipples are sensitive this morning. Not sure at all

Considering not testing at all unless af is late

Thanks, wrapunzel. A bit of fatigue, yes, and now starting to have back ache (near shoulder blades) but after reading so many symptoms of other ladies, it is most likely just in my head

Good luck to you! Keeping my FX

 

[Aideen17]

Thank u but I'm just not its true until I see a proper line that's just the way i am. X

Wrapunzel-- hearing that your boobs were deflating made me really happy!! lol... I am just saying, you totally sound like you could be pregnant, and today I woke up and my boobs were deflated. I was like what is happening?! I thought it was a bad sign, but maybe not. I hope we both get our BFPs. Your symptoms sound great!

 

[wrapunzel]

Awwwwww Lar! I "totally sound like I could be pregnant"? Now you've made ME super happy!

I thought it was a sure sign I'm out when my boobs shrank, they were utterly normal this morning at 6am.
Accompanied by my cervix lowering too. But the drooling and nausea are more intense and those are not normal pre-af symptoms for me.

Do you have a journal?

AF due 27/03/2017

26 day Cycle

BD CD8 CD12 & CD13

Guessing ovulation was CD13 due to huge amounts of EWCM on CD12

1DPO- Nothing to report except high cervix
2DPO- Nothing to report except high cervix
3DPO- Nothing to report didnt check cervix
4DPO- BD'd Cervix still high Cm drying up
5DPO-Nothing to report not check cervix
6DPO-School glue like CM Cervix is high and closed
7DPO-Watery CM Cervix is high and some what soft ind of closed
8DPO - Feeling very tired after a great sleep last night 9:30PM - 7:30PM a good 10 hours and my eyes are burning at work i feel as though i could ust climb into bed and have a nap. This is unusual for me so if it turns out to be my month this will be the thing that convinced me i had a chance.

I may start to test from 9dpo, i have avoided testing so far as i just make myself go crazy, i have tried to keep occupied this month and not go OTT with TTC more of a relaxed approach.
8DPO internet Cheapie BFN
9DPO - mouth is watery started yesterday still same today. Woke up feeling tired (heavy eyes) took a clear blue + blue dye test had a line appear instantly which disappeared. Took another FRER this time and had what I believe is now an indent.

10DPO - FRER taken and BFN. Got a few cramps going on starting to feel disheartened by BFN. Only strange symptom I could note was the tiredness but today I feel a bit better and my cervix seems to be very high tilted back and there also seems to be a ridge before I get there never felt that before. Another strange thing is we BD's last night I was very very dry and that is usual for me never had any sort of problem except when I was pregnant with DS.

11dpo- Feeling like AF is going to arrive didnt bother to test this morning. Feeling out no really reason why just feeling that way out. No significant symptoms today. CP seems to have gone from high to medium still soft. now going to wait until missed AF before testing again. Suppose its off to the shops to stock up on Sanitary Towels and Tampons lol! I seem to refuse to bulk buy them thinking this is going to be the ast time i need hem for 9 months then back in the store after TWW

 

[wrapunzel]

Have you still got the excess saliva mothertoone? My fingers are crossed for you! I've actually thought to myself how glad I am I don't have to buy tampons/pads (I use a menstrual cup). But I've been buying TTC stuff like bromelain and B6 pills so eh, same effect really

Aww thanks and no not as much feeling pretty normal. Usually would have more cramps but I'm pretty sure AF will come Monday on time. How are you doing, still feeling like this could be your month xx

 

[wrapunzel]

Yes I'm still feeling hopeful. Taking it a day at a time, really more like an hour at a time lol. I've got all kinds of symptoms and none quite like my usual pre-af but of course it could all be in my head!

No, I don't have a journal.

I have never felt for cp before.. can you tell me more about it? I am not even sure if I am feeling the right thing, but if it is what I think it is, it is super low and hard for me right now. Don't know what to think about it because I read it gets that way before AF and rises when pregnant. Although I also read that it rises at different times for pregnant women. Do you have any insight about this?

Awwwwww Lar! I "totally sound like I could be pregnant"? Now you've made ME super happy!

[wrapunzel]

It's different for everyone and you should start to recognize rhythms in your own cycle after tracking a few If you're not even sure what it is you don't have anything to compare its current state to? What feels low or hard to you might actually be very high or soft if you've never been aware of its presence before. I've been familiar with mine during af for months (menstrual cup) but only been tracking throughout the cycle for two cycles so I'm not much help, I'm sorry. Also it is likely very different for you because of clomid etc

To find it your best bet is to use your longest finger and sweep all around, pushing out. The big bump you feel getting shoved around in the middle is the cervix.

I read that it is normal for it to drop initially when you get pregnant, then rise again later. Some women have it stay high from ovulation/conception and it sounds like a dream as an early major symptom!

 

[Aideen17]

Hope everybody gets the result they want xx

 

[LAR83]

Thanks Wrapunzel! If it is what I think it is... I have felt it before, but I never knew what it was called. I have felt it low and hard like this before and I kind of freaked out because I wasn't used to it feeling like that inside, and I didn't know what it was. So you're right... I have no idea what my particular cycle patterns might be, and I would need to do it regularly to get an idea of that. Then again, I keep hearing today that CP is not a great indicator of whether you're pregnant or not, so I feel like if it doesn't help with that, what's the point? I guess it could help with finding out when you are O'ing too, but for now, Ovidrel pretty much narrows that down for me.

 

[wrapunzel]

You're so right. It's not reliable and I honestly don't know why I bother to do it when I have such strong O pains... but for now checking cm/cp is giving me something to do during the 2WW honestly gives me a few more symptom straws to grasp at
