ovulation *TMI* question...

[Stevie]

so after you have ovulated and assuming that you did everything right and you are indeed pregnant..
Does your cm change? (this is in th days right after ovulation until you can test) is it any different to what your body would normally do if you werent pregnant?

thanks for any and all replies ladies

I don't remember my CM been any different in the first couple of months. I only noticed an increase around 18-20wks and then another increase towards the end.
But I seem to always have a lot after ovulation anyway.

[Stevie]

i do remeber getting a significant increase later on in pregnancy(from about 20 weeks i think) but cant find much info on the days after ovulation..

[Kazzo]

Yeah, I guess it would come down to a everyone is different type answer. Is it on the list of possible early pregnancy signs?

Early Pregnancy Sign #5: Increased Cervical Mucus


A surge in progesterone often results in a surge of creamy cervical mucus production. Some women may notice a little, and some notice much more.

which kind of doesnt help me LOL

[Kazzo]

That is the greatness of TTC. So many things that give you a sign are very close to how our bodies work anyway and then everyone gets them in different ways.
Good luck, how long before your going to test?

[Stevie]

i know.. this totally wasnt planned.. we had 2 "oopies" at what im pretty sure was perfect timing (if not it wasnt far off it at all) which was only on thursday/friday.. so im going to wait til mid next week i think.. i secretly want this so bad (DH not at all.. yet anyway) and i have this "feeling" but i think it might be me hoping too hard ITMS lol!

[Kazzo]

I think it is moments like that that really show us how much and how ready we are to have another baby. I have everything crossed for you that you are UTD and that you don't go to crazy playing the waiting game

I did get more CM right before my last BFP, but it was at the end of the 2ww (somewhere after 10dpo, but don't remember exactly).

[Stevie]

im loosing my mind LOL!!!!!

i swear my brain is making up symptoms.. im trying not to think about it but i cant help it...

[OceanPrincess]

How many DPO are you?

[Stevie]

im 10 dpo.. have no symptoms, except ones that i "think" i can feel.. you know those kind?

[Stevie]

we dtd on what im pretty sure was the day of ovulation, and the day after(according to dates and cm- i dont temp). i didnt have much ewcm thi smonth but the day we did it i had ovulation pain (which i know can happen afterwards)
i mean the chances are so slim.. but i cant. stop. thinking. about it!!

[OceanPrincess]

Ahh TTC is such a roller coaster. When do you think you will test?

[Stevie]

well, gievn how much money and time i have wasted in the past on hpt, i was just going to wait and see how AF goes.. (im pretty regular) but i have to get an xray on my arm on wednesday (which will make me 13dpo) so i will do one wednsday morning before i get the xray just to be sure (because they always ask you when you get an xray)

but i dont know if i can wait til then.. LOL

[Kazzo]

How exciting. I really hope you get a BFP, after the crappy time you have been having with your arm and then your DH leaving the mess. Even if you test and get a BFN make sure you tell the x-ray people that you might be just to be safe. Until then I will just be stalking you a bit

[Stevie]

i really hope i am .. i keep thinking its not even possible.. but dh and i are both healthy 20 somethings .. dtd at (what im pretty sure) was the perfect time.. its a 25% chance or something, isnt it? .. so theres a chance.. even if it is pretty small.. i will keep you posted
and your so so right Kaz, it would def be nice, after all the crappiness over the last few months.. i deserve something good my way, surely...

[Kazzo]

How are you going today hun? Still having symptoms playing with your head? Are you resisting the urge to test?
