Ok, I now have a question for your collected expertise:
I'm 3dpo (I think) and just had a big blob of creamy white CM. Is this normal to come now? Or did I calculate O day wrongly?

Wow that's 4 of us all ovulated on the same day! This will be a good thread for us!

Petitpas i wouldn't think it is overly unusual to have creamy cm at this time but how did you calculate your ov date? I've found the fertility friend website really useful see link to my chart below.

I have sore boobs but i seem to get that alot don't think it indicates anything other than progesterone in my system. What dates are you girls testing on? 15th for me i think.

Officially, I'm testing on the 18th. Have a bunch of FRERs in my cupboard, though...

I am a little ashamed at how unscientific my Ov prediction is. The more I think about it, the less likely it is that I got it right

I've only had one full cycle (period to period) since coming off bc. It was 27 days, but that doesn't mean much because I've never been like clockwork. If I remember correctly, when I was a teen I had two distinct cycle lengths, like maybe the right ovary would do one thing and the left another. BUt it wouldn't alternate, so I might have two long months, then a short one... Strange! I wonder whether it is still the same?

My DH and I have a bit of a silent agreement that we can ttc as long as he doesn't notice it too much. So, if temping has to be done in bed (?), then he'd notice and that would be pushing it a bit. Checking CM, however, can be done in the shower so he doesn't know

Well, I was expecting the first few months to be a bit trial and error while I find out what my body is doing anyway...

Yes you temp right when you wake up. I keep my thermometre under my pillow so I don't have to move much.

Creamy cm after ov is a good sign, you don't want to see watery or egg white after you think you've ov'd.

Does that mean you are charting now? You can see my chart here: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/starrilicious

i know nothing about CM or what to look for when checking my cervix...

Hm, I woulnd't quite call it charting because I am missing the temperature taking.
I've just got a little diary where I note down anything noteworthy (i.e. today's CM). Hopefully I will be able to work out a pattern after 2-3 months?

hi can i join you too? I believe i ovulated on the 1st so that makes me 6dpo. And i'm going crazy already. whats the earliest you can test??

Hi Lisa,

Snooping around the site, some people seem to have got bfps at 10dpo, but maybe it depends on which test you use?

I'm in the 2ww as well. I ovulated on the 2nd and I'm due to test on the 16th if AF doesn't show!

The only thing I've noticed that's different is that I have some AF-like cramps for the past few days, almost like she's going to show up any minute now....but it's way too soon for AF. Weird.

im testing on the 20th but i think 10 DPO is the earliest u SHOULD test
