Such a busy last couple of days, forgot to update.

Last time I posted I was 5 DPO and had pink spotting.

6 DPO - tan cm throughout the morning which was gone in the afternoon, cramps, backache
7 DPO - mild cramps & bloating
8 DPO - sore & swollen boobs (feel bruised), mild cramping, bloating

@Alex my heart goes to you. And that is so true. My district has been sending food with families and making sure that they are safe. I hope your government will do something for all the businesses. This is the moment for solidarity.

@bug congratulations on the wedding and sorry for AF. Hopefully this cycle will be yours mama.

@Nasa welcome back. Cheers for ovulation and those signs sound good. FX .

AfM I am praying for everyone. Stay brave.

@nasamama. Those symptoms sound promising. Hope you get your BFP in the next few days.

@bugttc. Congrats on your wedding. Don't be sad about not having a 2020 baby. Instead, look forward to having a 2021 baby while all this COVID-19 dies down and it will be less stressful. Right now, keep yourself and your husband as healthy as possible.

@Alex. Thank you. I agree, worrying about something that might not even have happened is not good for my mind. I also agree that kids grow up fast and best to enjoy it while they are small. I too hope he surprises me during my fertile week.

@Lalou. As creepy as it sounds, I have smelt period blood before and have noticed that it smelt different. I'm not sure if you have other kid(s) and gave birth, but it smelt like that but different than period bleed; if it makes sense.

AFM. Husband and I DTD last night and he didn't pull out. Of course, that was on CD6. I expect to ovulate on CD15. I'm not temping or using ovulation tests this cycle and just see what happens. After ovulation depending on how things go, then I will look at my options.

Good luck everyone, and stay healthy and safe.

Hi ladies! Just poking my head back in to say hi! I see a few bfps and I'm so happy for everyone! Especially you, Lalou. I'm glad to see that you've finally got your next little one on the way. I can relate to school being exhausting during pregnancy, but you can do it and just take a break if you need to.

I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and everything seems to be just fine. Baby boy is kicking away and pregnancy is agreeing with me better than I thought it would. I've been home from work since 3/16 due to the virus pandemic and honestly, it has been a blessing in disguise. The circumstances are sad and scary, but being home has given me time to enjoy my pregnancy and relax that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Plus I feel much safer being able to just stay at home.

I hope you all are safe and healthy. Keep your heads up! I hope your bfps are just around the corner!

Hi all! I'm on CD 15 and supposedly 4 dpo. Went to the bathroom and omg...the biggest gush of watery cm I've ever seen and cervix is high, medium and medium/open. I know it's waaay too early to test, but I was super crampy from ovulation until yesterday. Anyone ever experience this and get a bfp?

She’s here! Charlotte “Charlie” Rose born 4/2/2020 at 11:46pm via emergency C after an unsuccessful 24 hours of induction. 6 lb 10 oz, 20.5”. We are home now and doing great! Delivering baby in the midst of a pandemic was, well....challenging. Good luck ladies and I’ll come back to check and see how you all are doing!!!!

@ Lisa, she is absolutely beautiful. So so happy for you!
Afm: Pretty sure I o'd last night around 9. I got mu very first positive opk on Saturday at around 9 pm. I had tested all day on and off with negatives until then. I had so much pressure and cramping and then it just stopped so pretty sure it popped then. How many people ever feel completely defeated even when they timed eveything perfect? We bd'd cd 11 @pm cd12 @pm and again cd 13 around 10 am. Wanted to this morning but when you have a 2 year old in bed with you, it kinda messed up the plan! Even though the bd'ing was good timing, I feel like I missed it. Like we needed just cd13 pm or this am to have made a baby.. I feel like this just isnt my month already.

@ lalou thank you!
@dragonfly. Thank you just what I needed to hear. Good luck to you.
@lissa love the name and she is absolutely beautiful. Congrats momma!

@lissa645 She is perfect congratulations!

Bug hi hun! I’m so really sorry that AF came! I was secretly rooting for this wedding baby.. The anxiety of having to cancel wedding plans didn’t help too.. I’m having all my hopes with you that this will be your cycle girl. I really feel so close to your story! Fingers crossed!

Nasa I have a very good feeling that this might be your cycle hun! Those symptoms sounds so so promising! Do you usually have spotting around O? Did you ever have a mid cycle spotting before?

Lalou I really too hope that not only here in Greece but worldwide, governments will do the right thing this time. I know they can but I highly doubt it unfortunately.
How are you mama? How are you feeling?

Dragonfly Does your hubby usually know where you are cycle wise? I mean is that why he didn’t pull out or he just let it happen if it happens? Let’s hope he’ll keep the same attitude in the next few days too

Kait I’m so happy to see you and mostly to see you’re happy and healthy with your pregnancy. You don’t know how much courage it gives me to see old forum friends having a successful pregnancy!
Sounds like mommy and baby boy are relaxing at this unfortunate times! I’m happy you’re calm and you got this time to rest safely! Please keep us updated. Sending hugs

Punk I’ve had different Kinds of cm throughout my ttc journey while on tww and never been pregnant. Sorry to be the downer here but our bodies are just so confusing when it comes to pregnancy symptoms and af symptoms. Really hope yours is pregnancy related though!

Lissa congratulations mama!!! She’s amazing! So happy for you. Was your husband allowed to be with you? Sounds you had a rough time and I’m so glad you’re now happy and safe at home!!

Mill Cheer up girl! It only needs one time and you know better than anyone that it doesn’t always need to be perfectly planned! I don’t know if this is gonna be your cycle but stay strong hun! Your family is gonna grow soon, I’m sure about that!!

AFM I’m CD11 today and I already feel like I’m ovulating. I usually don’t ovulate this early but I had it happen 2 or 3 times in the past. It so confusing for me cuz I don’t have opks. Only cm, temps and some other small symptoms. For example when I’m 1dpo temp is 36.2 and above (today was 36.3) and it usually starts to feel sore at the breast area which I feel today and I wonder if I could have already Oed at cd10? Never happened before.. on the other hand even though I felt O pains in the previous days, today is the most prominent ones which usually happens hours before O. Either way I’m not going to get crazy over this!
My BDing is ok and Im planning bd also today and tomorrow just to be sure!
With that said I’m pretty sure I won’t make it this cycle lol all my pains are from my “wrong” side so yea! Still gonna try though... I know there have been times that ladies got pregnant while ovulating on the side where there was their blocked tube!

Hope dies last...
