CM/slightEW after O? confused...
14
Wed, 08-13-2003 - 2:11pm
Hi - Been lurking for a couple of days to see if anyone else had the same thing happening. According to temp and cm, I O'd on Sat. Aug. 9 (BD Fri pm and Sat am) and have felt strange bloating/cramping the last 2 days. Yesterday (3DPO) I had one incidence of creamy cm and today I had just the tiniest bit of EW. Usually after I O, I don't have any of this. Is this a sign of very early preg? I am charting but not online. Any ideas??

I am 38 and TTC first. Is this just the beginning of the waiting game?

Thanks!

Same here. I O'd on Saturday (according to Ov. Pred Kit).. BD on Fri am and Sat am... Been pretty crampy, weird crampy... is it too early? BB's sore to touch and been so bloated yesterday and today... I know if I took HPT it would come up BFN because it's too early. My CM is creamy. I don't temp. At least we can commiserate together.

Good luck!

OMG!!! It's great to find someone on the same "track" as me. When is your AF due? how long is your cycle? Mine is usually 30-31 days and I am due for AF Aug. 23. I don't want to see her.

Hey - twins run in my family on BOTH SIDES and I am 38(over 35 increases chances). Would not mind having my first and second at the same time...then I wouldn't have to do this waiting/guessing/hoping/praying thing again!!

How great! I'm not really telling anyone we are TTC... then it puts too much pressure on me! So it just me and my husband and I can't really talk to him about this stuff obviously (he wouldn't have a clue). This is our first time TTC.

My AF is due on approximately 8/22... My cycle is usually 30 days (give or take a day here and there)I definitely don't want to see her. We've been trying for about 3 months. But this month we "got serious" ! Just having some cramping which could be PMS. Who knows!


Wow twins! That would be awesome... get it over with in one shot!

Hey - Have to call it quits on the computer for today. Let's stay in touch!! I'll check the boards tomorrow and/or you can keep in touch by email... Rialtobuff@msn.com

Have you been to the iVillage pregnancy calendar yet? Very cool. That's how I found this board. I put in the date of my last period and length of cycle and, boom, Aug. 8th popped up as the conception date! May 1 would be the due date....big IF at this point!!Lots of great day-by-day information though.

Hey! I checked out that calendar. Very cool. Mine says April 27th... If only!!! I've been getting such great info on this site. The waiting can definitely drive you insane. I'm just going to keep busy with work and other things so I don't drive my self nuts waiting! I will keep a look out for you as well. If you need to chat or want to bounce something off of me then email me at marek@eemgroup.com or marek@embryoninc.com.

Take care and good luck!

Mornin'Sue -

Just checking in. Glad you found that calendar. Great info.! I am trying to do the same thing...stay busy! Still tough though.

I did follow a link given on this board and order some preg tests. Very cheap! I figure I can hold out til they get here and if I am still obsessing, I can start testing. Hey, I ordered 10 so why not? Since twins run in the family and a multiple preg. can sometimes test + early (higher hCG) I figured I'd give it a shot.

Are you charting your temp?

Take care and keep in touch!!

Hey Kelly!

Someone mentioned buying Tests (HPT and Ovul. Pred. Kits) on Ebay of all places. I bought the OPK for the past two months at a local pharmacy. They're a bit expensive ($30) so I might want to check into that. Well I'm about a week from my AF... no symptoms really except for cramps ... weird ones at that. Like a sharp pain. Have you had that? No headaches or tiredness or nauseau... but everyone is different. I don't chart my temps either. I will consider it if "it" doesn't happen this month.

Twins!! WOW. I definitely agree that you should be able to get a reading sooner if you are PG with twins... higher hormone level, right? You HAVE to let me know how it goes if you test. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Talk to you later!

well, girlies, i thought i'd jump in here!! well, with my first child, Anna (9mo), i had that same creamy/EW CM... after i ovulated, but didnt think anything of it, as i was a newlywed, haha! but the bloating feels almost like menstrual- i even told DH not to worry, i could FEEL it on its way... and it never came! haha... so, it's VERY possible, and if you're in tune with your body, it's very easy to spot symptoms when you're watching for them~

also, i had the creamy white CM a week ago, just before AF was due, and i believe i miscarried, around that time, or a couple days later, because AF came, but VERY strangely~ (thick, and spotty, if that makes sense) anyway, i'm SURE i was pregnant, just like i'm SURE i'm not, now.

anyway, let us know what happens when you test!!!! *crossing fingers for you!!*

Hi! Glad you jumped in! I am a week from AF and have creamy CM but here is the catch... I never ever get YI (yeast infections) and I have one. I haven't read about a YI being a sign of pregnancy... Just thought it was weird.

So sorry about your MC... they say it happens in 20% of PG's... I didn't realize the percentage was so high. Learning so much on this Board! If it doesn't happen this month, at least I can say I learned soooo much for the next time!

Talk to you soon!

Sue
