Second cycle of trying...sort of. Tried at beginning of jan but missed ovulation as was at the end of dec. Period due 6th feb.

Am impatient. Want to take a test, but know its just a waste of money!

ive got pains but i do sometimes get them around this time of the month. wishing they were implantation but probs not. i hate the 2ww!

MillieMoodle · 02/02/2015 17:40

Hi zippyswife!
I have come to the conclusion that my plethora of symptoms are down to coming off cerazette and not actually being pg. CD29 for me (miscalculated earlier and thought it was CD28) but still getting bfns.

zippyswife · 02/02/2015 17:25

Hello! Can I join? Af due any day now. I am totally imagining implanting cramps and pricking. I'm going crazy symptom spotting. I've poas twice already-i don't know why. Funny thing is when I've been pregnant previously it's been entirely symptom less. So I really should know better!

cremedecacao · 02/02/2015 16:52

I am 9dpo today too and have felt a couple of (possibly made up) twinges. Still feeling super run down but I've been a bit off colour for a week, so I doubt this is pg related.

Do you get symptoms before implantation?

gingerbreadmam · 02/02/2015 09:14

bugger the dreams are weird arent they? i keep hoping that is a sign too!

i have learnt a lot on here about implantation. is it 9 dpo it typically implants? could be today Shock

and thank you ever so much.

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 02/02/2015 08:22

I didn't even know i was pregnant last time. Was sick at work (probably assumed it was from a hangover but obviously didn't want to admit it at work) so one of the nurses gave me a test. I took it for a laugh really wasn't expecting a bfp. I was on the pill! (Though not taking it like clockwork)

Oops got your name wrong, sorry Frantasic Smile

MillieMoodle · 02/02/2015 07:38

Aw, Frantastic, sorry to hear that. Kidney infections are so painful. Hope you are feeling much better soon.
I have tested this morning with an IC test and bfn again. Cd28 and no AF yet either. Working at home today so need to resist the urge to POAS every hour!

Frantasic · 02/02/2015 01:44

Thanks Creme... Turns out that the symptoms I was having weren't in my head after all... I have a full on kidney infection. Feel like shit tonight. Double whammy.

montymum · 01/02/2015 22:45

Don't be disappointed or frustrated it is still really early to be testing. I didn't get my BFP last time until the day my period was due and even then it was so faint you had to squint to see it.

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 01/02/2015 22:33

Sorry that was aimed at ginger aah confusing!

I didn't have a mmc! I didn't conceive, just a bad period :)

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 01/02/2015 22:07

And very sorry to hear about your mmcFlowers

montymum · 01/02/2015 22:07

Thanks for that list Focusfocus ( sorry to hear about your horrible time) I think I am going to make a hot chocolate right now(ignores all the healthy foods on the list)!

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 01/02/2015 22:06

gingerbreadmam thats why i tested today! I had a dream about a bfp thats why i tested. Bfn. So frustrating.

OP posts:
gingerbreadmam · 01/02/2015 22:02

oooh i would love to join. i duno how to count it all but think i am 8 or 9 dpo. 8 days till poas according to ovia. i poas this ,orning after dreaming i got 4 bfps lasnite and updating mn with "today i am pregnant". needless to say bfn.

last few days i have been exhausted im talking 12noon feeling ready to sleep so i am convincing myself it is a symptom Grin

i had a complicated mmc november last year that dragged on until an emergency erpc 14 december so would feel very lucky to get another bfp so soon.

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 01/02/2015 22:01

That is really interesting thanks! Im going to take it much more seriously next month (if i dont get my bfp that is) i don't know much about ttc and its all a bit more in depth than i realised. Was quite naive...lalala just have sex then poof a baby will come.

Im glad you're feeling better focusfocus :-)

montymum · 01/02/2015 21:57

Hi creme yes I was but has all gone a bit quiet! Sounds like lots of positive symptoms on this thread so hopefully will see some bfps soon. I just searched for the thread I was on when got bfp with ds 3 years ago it is really nice to look back and remember!

Focusfocus · 01/02/2015 21:46

Thanks much better! I like this little group we've got going her :) can we keep this going please?

I have been researching nutrition for a while now, and am consciously trying to eat to support each phase of the cycle. Posting the highlights just in case anyone is interested -

  1. Days 1-5 - (1) iron rich foods - red meats, beans, seeds (2) vitamin C to prepare body for ovulation and keep immune system working - grapefruit juice (also produces slippery cm), supplement (3) Essential fats to ensure plenty of good cm next phase - fish oils/DHA starflower or evening primrose oil

Days 5-14/15 (1) cruciferous veggies - broccoli, leafy greens (2) vitamin E rich foods to give plenty of vitamin E for egg to travel in - supplement, wheat germ oil, omega oils, avocado, nuts, seeds (3) Nitric Oxide rich foods which highly aid the development and release of a healthy egg - watermelons or watermelon juice, beet roots, pomegranate (4) Fatty acids - Vital DHA, fish, Starflower/evening primrose oil (5) warming and spicy foods to keep uterus warm - ginger tea, chillies, black pepper, soups, stews (6) vitamin C to support cervical mucous and health of egg - plenty of grapefruit juice, supplement, orange juice

days 14/15 to 28- - (1) warming foods to keep uterus warm to aid implantation - ginger tea, soups, stews, chilli, hot chocolate, (2) beta carotenous foods to supply corpus luteum with plenty of yellow/red betacarotene - carrots, pineapple juice, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, bell peppers, mangoes, (3) leafy greens

Hope this gives some ideas if you want!

MillieMoodle · 01/02/2015 21:42

Thanks potatopal, I've still got everything crossed hoping for it, but also starting to wonder whether it's all in my head!
I've been on the pill so long I can't remember what AF symptoms I used to have. We were really lucky with DS and I got a bfp on my first cycle so I haven't actually had a proper period since I was about 15 (I'm now 31).
Have resisted the urge to POAS again. Will hold out as long as possible tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive.
Fx for everyone!

cremedecacao · 01/02/2015 21:32

And thanks potatopal (great name)

cremedecacao · 01/02/2015 21:31

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 01/02/2015 21:30

How are you feeling now focusfocus ?

And keeping ny fingers crossed for you montymum

I caved and tested again today! What a twat!

potatopal · 01/02/2015 21:30

Yep cremedecacao I want to skip forward to. Sorry you're miserable.. and not au fait with the cervix thing yet - seems hard to reach! For distraction, I ordered some healthy snacks online to prepare for the next phase if we need to try (trying to be realistic now.) And for fun I looked at maternity wear and baby names.

MillieMoodle you sound like you should have a bfp but i'm no expert..you're full of symptoms.

And Focusfocus that sounds like an awful time you had. Good to look ahead to the next cycle while we wait for the results of or in some cases just recover from this cycle. ... Have a good week y'all! Roll on those best testing days. And some certainty so we can plan for more tries or make our first appointments! :) :)

montymum · 01/02/2015 21:19

Hi all can I join you. I have been really good this cycle trying not to symptom spot etc and have decided I will not test until After AF is due on the 4th. However a couple of hours ago I went the toilet and got a streak of blood when I wiped. nothing since so now start thinking is this early af 5 days early or implantation. I know only time will tell but is going to be a long 4 days !
