Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

Lol!! I did wonder! I hope if you O today you'd been BDing instead of eating mini doughnuts!

Don't worry, I just hit the gym & then came home and ate cake! My cycles are also around 34 days. V frustrating! X

AllRoundGoodEgg · 28/03/2017 14:18

Erm this MONTH not this morning, that would be a first!

AllRoundGoodEgg · 28/03/2017 14:18

Just done an Asda test with can be used 4 days before and BFN. I'm currently sat in the car eating mini donuts to make myself feel better!
I think I ovulated late this morning which I've just figured would put me at 10dpo today (I have 33 day cycles) so there is still hope I suppose.

Not sure why I'm filling myself with hope, probably not the best idea  i think we are in the same boat @AJE84

OnNaturesCourse · 28/03/2017 14:03

Rose, i had a ridiculous taste in my mouth from about 8dpo but tests showed BFN until 12dpo when I got the faintest of positives on a cheap test. First response showed a gleaming positive right after. Got my fingers crossed!

Just checking in! No AF, and a BFN.... just sitting here waiting to start! (In a staff room where everyone's chatting about their babies and how big they were when they were born etc) Annoying as I'm bloated & heavy which won't subside until AF arrives, and it also means we can't crack on with a BFP for next month!

RoseGoldHippie · 28/03/2017 11:03

AllRoundGoodEgg thank you! I am just trying. It to think about it and with quite a busy work week I thought I would go through with no time to hahaha! How wrong I was :) yeah feeling positive just praying for that BFP!

AllRoundGoodEgg · 28/03/2017 11:01

@RoseGoldHippie sit on your hands and sleep for the next few days? Grin that's the only advice I have for not obsessing (I admit it's not very helpful) Sounding positive though!

AllRoundGoodEgg · 28/03/2017 11:00

I could do @OnNaturesCourse, not sure whether to just wait it out or not!

RoseGoldHippie · 28/03/2017 10:55

Ok guys - help needed! I'm 8DPO and I have a really horrible taste in my mouth which started this AM not sure if I would say it's metallic but possibly. I also have randomly erect nipples but not really any pain in them (slight twinges in one but that is pierced so is a bit more sensitive) Very slight cramps in left of stomach (opposite to when I had OV pain) - any ideas for a sypmton spotting maniac?!

OnNaturesCourse · 28/03/2017 10:45

Can you get a first response test?

OP posts:
AllRoundGoodEgg · 28/03/2017 08:07

I'll keep everything crossed for you @OnNaturesCourse, try and stay positive.
I took a Tesco own brand test this morning and it was BFN, AF is due tomorrow.
I've googled (obviously) and apparently they are rubbish tests? But we'll see anyway

OnNaturesCourse · 27/03/2017 19:27

Just been for a warm bath and sat watching once upon a time to try occupy my mind

AJE84 · 27/03/2017 19:23

@OnNaturesCourse try and stay positive - what can you do to pamper yourself? Have a nice bath? Have you got a good book to get stuck into to take your mind off things? X

OnNaturesCourse · 27/03/2017 18:02

Sorry AJ 😞

Im sore. Really sore and stuffed with the cold too. I just don't have a good feeling about it all.

Welcome @AllRoundGoodEgg! X

AJE84 · 27/03/2017 17:54

Hey all,

Tested this morning - BFN - which im actually ok about because I'm expecting it. It's been a crazy busy few weeks & a stressful month - so I wonder if that's more to do with why I'm late. I've decided to stop all the POAS and temp tracking for a month & we're just gonna BD as frequently as possible - and I'm trying to resolve to just enjoy the process & relax a bit more about it. Easier said than done!

How are you feeling Nature?

OnNaturesCourse · 27/03/2017 13:58

A little rocky. I've had a lot of period like pain, backache and pink discharge. I'm so early on its hard to say what's going to happen. Have to say though the support and medical care I've had is amazing. Got another scan on Wednesday when I'll be 5weeks and 1day. Not sure what to expect really xx

OP posts:
AllRoundGoodEgg · 27/03/2017 13:20

What will be will be, if I could chose I'd have a baby born next July (so a way off from falling now) but obviously nothing goes to schedule so starting to officially try from this month.
Fingers crossed!
How is everything going with your pregnancy so far @OnNaturesCourse ?

OnNaturesCourse · 27/03/2017 12:55

Its maybe just your system taking time to adjust, but I'm not that educated about the mini pill tbh

OP posts:
AllRoundGoodEgg · 27/03/2017 12:50

Thank you!
I was on the mini pill but only for around 5 months, My youngest is 15 months so my contraception before that was pregnancy. I was on the pill for the same amount of time before I fell last time so I was hoping it wouldn't have too much impact but we'll see

OnNaturesCourse · 27/03/2017 12:28

Hi Allround... Welcome!

Wow, you're going to be busy!

Were you on any birth control before?

Xx

Hello! Can I join please?

Congratulations to those with BFP's, I hope the next few weeks go quickly for you.

We decided to try again this month for baby number 4. AF is due in 2 days and I'm too scared to test! We've being thinking about it for a while so haven't been preventing for the past few months and nothing, I fell super quick with the others so worried I've pushed my luck.

I've not been paying attention to symptoms (untrue but it's what I keep telling myself Grin) but I've had some real weird ones.. frantically looking at puppies for sale (weird I know but I've done only ever when I've been PG) wanting wine and spicy food which isn't me at all and the typical heavy boobs etc, also my downstairs is slightly swollen and really dark purple which usually only happens to me when PG.

Of course it's all probably in my head, it definitely doesn't get easier 2nd, 3rd or 4th time round!

OnNaturesCourse · 27/03/2017 11:07

How is everyone today?

AJ you hanging in there?

OP posts:
AJE84 · 26/03/2017 15:30

Afternoon ladies! I'm recovering from a rather crazy family event last night! Lots of cuddles with my gorgeous 10 month old nephew which only makes me want my own more! Only had to field one nosy relative with her "when are you going to have one?" and then asked by someone I met for the first time, "do you have children?" Which is so much less pressurised than the other question as it was purely curiosity rather than implication.

Enjoyed a lunch with my in-laws and now chilling! All AF symptoms have disappeared, boobs not even slightly achey! Currently only 2 days late - but might hang on to the weekend to take a test - hate seeing the 'not pregnant' sign so only wanna POAS if I'm thinking that I really could be preggo.

How's everyone doing? Mother's Day can be really tough can't it?
