As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details.

| period like pains - v confused!!!
Hi ladies
Ok.. so i think i should have ovulated on saturday but I am not sure. I got Clear blue Ov tests but then never showed a line as dark as or darker than the test line in the required time it would always stay a little lighter - then if i looked it a good 15 mins later is would be as dark as the test line. Then when i tested again on sunday - it was even lighter than before and never got as dark as the test line even when left. So thats the first confusion.
Then - since last night - i have had period like symptoms - cramping in stomach and lower back and AF is not even due for another 12/13 days atleast.
What do i make of this?? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I've been having the same sort of thing since the middle of last week, over a week before AF is due. It could be implantation cramping, but may be normal and only noticeable for us because we are looking for signs...
See my thread: Period-like symptoms... |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | If on sat you got your positive OPK (well as near as it's going to get!) You may have OV sun or today and that is why you are having cramps etc OV happens 24-36 hours after your pos OPK. |

See my thread: Period-like symptoms... | So lets see what happens for us then this month!! keep me posted on your signs and symptoms! AF is till 2 weeks away for me so it could be Ovulation pain i guess! though have never felt it before but as u say - we are more aware as TTC!!! ohhhh godddddddd i'm just driving myself crazy!! i wish i could just relax about it all and let nature take its course but no - i have to a total obsessive about it!!!!!!!! |

I have been saying over and over "Don't obsess. Don't sign spot!" But I can't help it. Every little sensation in my body gets my attention and I find myself thinking "Is that...? Could that be...?"!
What are we like?!  |

| I got a pos OPK yesterday (not as dark as the control though!) today it has gone and I have cramps and some spotting too. I'm assuming it's just ovulation. 
Good luck! |
