hi ladies. I am 4 days away from OV and am having what feels like mild AF cramping - is this normal? i don't normally get this this early? usually start cramping when i get the EWCM.

Yes I do. It feels like AF is about to start but OV is only 5 days away. I OV'd early last month so I keep doing ovulation tests just to check. I've just done one, there was a very faint line but I'll check again tomorrow.

you are pretty much the same as me in cycle - think i am going to get some OV sticks and see what happens. Wanted to start BDing tonight really but OH is working tonight! hopefully we will both get a sticky BFP this month!!

Yeah we are. I've been having OV pains for most of the day, i've just done a done a test and there is a faint line so i'm expecting to get a darker line tomorrow. You should get some Ovulation tests, they are great. I bought about 30 of them from e-bay, I should be an expert at using them now but alway manage to pee on my hand .

I hope this is your month. Keep me up to date.

i will do - you too! I am going to nip and get some in a bit and start POAS today. these pains are just like AF pains so i guess it is starting!!! Fingers crossed for us both this month - bring on the BFP's!!!
How long have you been TTC?

I came off BCP at the end of January. This is the first time we've TTC, it's so exciting. It's really difficult for us to BD due to work commitments, we don't work weekends so it's not a problem then. It's just sods law that I usually ovulate during the week. I'm really hoping I don't ovulate for another 5 days (as per fertility friend) because I'm not working a full week this week so we can BD as much as we want from Thursday all the way through until Monday.

I've just read your journal, sorry to hear about you MC, I hope your appointment goes well.

I am hoping there is some in the air - sending you some too! hope we both get our this month!

I get AF cramps during my 3 weeks of my entire cycle Right after AF is over, I am good for about a week, and then they start, but they aren't bad. I get strong AF like cramps I think before I O...lots of luck!
