Kazzzz- It sounds like you did it at the best time to me. You can only do so much then just wait :) Best of luck to you. Try not to worry or think too hard about it. When the time is right the time will be right and you will get your perfect baby. Best of luck to you!!!
Thanks treens I'm trying to just live my life an forget about swaying while still swaying lol i know everything i need to know now so just gotta go with the flow.
I'm not taking any folic acid how much should i be taking? I'm also breastfeeding.
6dpo i think lol an just had some pink cm like normal white creamy cm tmi but it was pink in colour so maybe my period is going to start any day now. No cramps yet but woke up feeling post ovulation, its normal for me to wake up with a headache an sore shoulders, and neck for 1 or 2 days about half way between ovulation an period. Such a weird thing lol but before i had my last baby it happened every month so i do think i ovulated or maybe I'm just having some random high progesterone or something i aways put it down to progesterone anyway not really sure what causes it. I also waje up feeling hung over which I'm not. Anyone else get this around 6-8dpo
9days since dtd and bfn of frer this am still early i guess but i have a feeling i didn't ovulate which is ok because I'll wait till i get af an use clomid.
There's no rhyme or reason to it. Your body just sort of gears up as if it's going to ovulate, but doesn't. Then your symptoms will go away. You haven't ovulated so you're still in the follicular phase, then in a few days or weeks or months you'll gear up to ovulate again, and actually do it that time, OR you might have more practice cycles where you don't ovulate. No way to predict as it's different for everyone.Quote:

Other months I feel fine, but I do know what you're talking about. I also get that shoulder/neck/headache only when I am about to get my period and often for the first day of my period, and I've read others having that too.Quote:

9 DPO is early to test and keep in mind even if this is O we don't know where in the cycle you'd be.
Omg i just got a smiley on the Clearblue ovulation test the ones that are either a blank cycle or a smiley face no in between. I've been using them for the last 2 days because i ran out of cheapies. My cp is (show) i have mixed cm but definitely some globs of ewcm in there sorry tmi. No cramps which has me thinking its another faky lol frer was negative again this am.
I'm trying to decide do we have our 1 attempt or wait! Because i had heaps of cheats yesterday which is strange because the last time i had a big cheat day i got a close pos the next day and now day after another cheat day and i've got a pos maybe the extra sugar/fat/cals helps some of us ovulate makes sence since im heavily dieting for me personally it's heavily dieting. I don't know if i should wait so i can do our attempt with clomid an without the cheats the day before lol or just go for it an see what happens. If something helped me ovulate I'd say it was the sugar since i was craving it both of those cheat days or maybe fat, But i don't know. Interesting though.
Edit: I'm getting major cramps now so we'll see if it ends up being a real ovulation in a few weeks.
I would go ahead and have attempt, in case there are benefits from catching the first egg, but I can understand wanting to wait for the Clomid, too.
Just to clarify, that is not how ovulation works. A cheat one day cannot make you ovulate. The egg has to go through an entire period of development and that does not happen in one day. Most likely, you had less willpower since you were gearing up to O and cheated for that reason.
