Hi everyone,

Hope you don't mind me staring a new thread as the last is full to the brim now!

Just to recap myself:

Age 31
Ttc no.3
6dpo
1st cycle! (Agh!)

Anyone else?

Anyway I'm still clinging onto the bus but feeling extremely negative about this cycle as I've had what has almost! been the flu Sad
Couldn't get my sorry head off the pillow yesterday and feel like I've been 8 rounds with Tyson aiming right for the lungs!

Going to test on Thursday 19th as had my last two Bfps at 10 DP0

And just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the old thread that kindly gave me advise and a much needed pick me up with regards to being so --pathetically - Ill lol I took all advise on board and today I feel like it's finally letting up a little (woo!)

Hope are well and good news is coming for us all!! X

Motherhippy16 · 25/01/2017 13:00

Thank you passmethewine very useful...Definitely don't want to miss it this month! X

passmethewine123 · 25/01/2017 12:41

That should say buy yourself a BBT

passmethewine123 · 25/01/2017 12:40

I have started temping MH, but yourself a BBT which is accurate to 2 decimal places. Download the fertility friend app if you don't already have it and away you go! They have an excellent guide to temping which is really informative but the basics of it are that your resting body temp will rise after ovulation has occurred, so whilst doing OPK's can tell you that it is approaching only a temp rise can confirm that it definitely occurred and when. You have to take your temp each morning after at least 4 hours sleep and before you move. I keep my thermometer next to my bed and have an alarm set to remind me to take it Smile

Motherhippy16 · 25/01/2017 12:02

Please do! Yes it seems like a never ending worry! Quick question did u temp? Considering trying it his month but unsure what to do x

Good morning everyone!

And sorry to hear about those with af Sad it's so confusing as all the signs and symptoms for pg and af are so similar/the same!!

And congrats for those with the recent Bfps!! I had my first bfp on Sunday and I'm fairly certain I was due on either Monday or Tuesday. Which means I'm am afficially 'late' today so that's exciting! Going to test again on Friday morn now and fx get a stronger positive.

Just want to wish all those ladies still waiting or hopping onto Feb bus lots of luck and baby vibes! Hope to see you on antenatal threads soon! Will keep looking out for your names xx

rose cramping started about 1dpo, not quite like AF that early - more aware of a niggle which has continued all through to today which is 10dpo.
Definitely best described as a niggle with occasional full blown period pain feelings.

Motherhippy16 · 25/01/2017 08:39

Take care of yourself passmethewine...Definitely a hot water bottle and chocolate day! Have a stinking cold as wellong but I'm kinda taking solice in the fact that I am kinda regular with af and that I am ov. Pma through the pmt! X

passmethewine123 · 25/01/2017 08:34

Mine too Motherhippy I don't usually get bad cramps but they're at their worst today. I'll never doubt the power of the mind again, I can't believe I managed to imagine so many symptoms and also the cramping started 2 days before AF which is unheard of for me and can only be down to my mind playing tricks.
Going to try and be as productive as possible over the next couple of weeks and take my mind off the TTC thing Hmm

TheGrumpySquirrel · 25/01/2017 08:04

Having got pregnant by accident at 18 I just assumed as soon as I came off the pill it would happen instantly! Now 30 days off it, BFNs every day, no AF, impatient!

MissMagpie · 25/01/2017 07:56

Well AF arrived exactly to the minute she was expected. Damn it. Feeling a mixture of reassured my luteal phase is so regular and sad and frustrated that I will now be on the 8th month of trying.

RoseValleyRambles · 25/01/2017 07:52

Eurgh. So sorry hippy get that hot water bottle out and be good to yourself. Flowers was your cramping all the way through? I'm holding out hope now that this may not be af...

minime2016 · 25/01/2017 07:49

Morning all! Congratulations flowers. Thanks for sharing symptoms too. I've none at all. Not going to poas again unless I'm late, but as I'm feeling ok I think af will kick in on Monday as expected.

Flowers88 · 25/01/2017 07:41

Thanks so much everyone.
Sorry to hear AF has turned up for some of you :(
If it helps, I logged my symptoms religiously and my main symptom was cramping (similar to AF), sore boobs, tiredness and a ridiculous thirst. All out of the norm for me hence my obsession with them!!!
Fx for more bfps!!!!!

Motherhippy16 · 25/01/2017 07:27

Rose...af has hit me like a ton of bricks. Feel as though I'm in a vice! Fx she's only here for a little while. Fx she doesn't show for u! X

RoseValleyRambles · 25/01/2017 07:13

Woken up feeling crampy. Think my time on this thread may now be limited. Sigh.

Motherhippy16 · 24/01/2017 22:24

See u on the Feb bus passmethewine....most painful cramps ever atm....am exhausted so going to bed....maybe I'll sleep through the next 3 weeks and wake up at fw? Wishfull thinking! X

RoseValleyRambles · 24/01/2017 22:22

Au revoir, wine. Hope the next one is the lucky one!

MrsG30 · 24/01/2017 22:07

Congratulations 2ducks and flowers that's great news! x

I'm currently symptom spotting at 7dpo. I too had some weird cm this morning that seem thick and creamy (sorry tmi) and trying to decide if my boobs are hurting or not.
