Stressful isn't it!! Think I'm going to test Saturday so either way it should be accurate

hey ladies, how exciting that some of us are coming up to testing:)
Good luck for tomorrow grumpy!
Stef i'm like you, ovulated day 12 this month though some months it can be even earlier. no idea why, have always been like that. AF normally lasts 5-6 days (with last 2 days being very light) so this month we started DTD straight after AF finished so we didn't miss the egg. It's all very exciting but then the luteal phase feels so looooong.

xStefx · 28/03/2017 14:01

Ah I see what you mean. I don't use an app anymore as it kept giving me the wrong dates.

I have 3 days of bleeding too when A/F is here, never anymore. I have a 28 day cycle (mostly) but always ovulate on day 12 instead of 14.

Had last A/F Sat 4th March
Ovulated 12 days later (which I always do) on Thursday 16th
AF next due sat 1st april

So I do come on every 4 weeks but ovulate two days earlier that the "norm" every month

It can be bloody confusing lol

Well I've got the ovia app and it says I'm due on April 4th but I worked it out and that would put me onto a 32 day cycle instead of 30 so I'm thinking more the 2nd. It could be to do with the fact my Af lasts for 4 days and March it lasted 3. I don't get any Af symptoms until the day before it's due at the very earliest

Jords how come your confused about your dates? can we help with that?

Im also having twinges, but again could be A/F related

Afternoon everyone, I've been having little twinges in my lower abdomen but could be nothing. I haven't been sleeping either but I'm so tired! Keep waking up every hour or so. I'm dying to test but now I'm confused of my dates so I don't know when to!

xStefx · 28/03/2017 13:36

Good luck grumpy, I could have tested yesterday but am trying to hold out for A/F due Friday or Saturday. Its so hard though

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 28/03/2017 13:16

Good luck grumpy

TheGrumpySquirrel · 28/03/2017 13:13

10dpo tomorrow.. testing with a FRER in the morning 😬

lisara79 · 28/03/2017 13:04

Morning Stef (and all).. lol... I know about the boobs, I'm sure mine are all bruised. I'm having cramps and trying to determine if they are any different to normal. I am also not sleeping... ugh... I can't remember whether this is normal for me in the week or a sign... ah well... a day closer. 10dpo for me!

xStefx · 28/03/2017 11:48

Morning ladies, just a few days to go :-)

Anyone having A/F symptoms? Ive pressed my boobs so much now that ive made them sore lol

x

xStefx · 27/03/2017 13:37

Oh good as it came up negative lol - thanks lisara

I have a feeling next time round will be better for me , im very prepared :-)

Yay its Monday already, a few more days to go for us all ....

lisara79 · 27/03/2017 13:31

Aww Stef... sounds really scary, hopefully this time round will be different. I think opks can work but don't detect low levels so you have to have quite a lot of the hormone to detect it.... we're getting closer ladies x

xStefx · 27/03/2017 12:53

Mimosa, Yes I was in hospital a lot, ended up with a pump for meds and home IV for fluids and nutrients , she was worth it though :-)

I was on a couple of drugs, Ondansetron and cyclizene and next time round have been accepted for Diclegis (which is in America) and Prednisolone steroids so Fingers crossed

Ive still not put all the weight back on - have tried and tried but cant :-( ive only managed to get back to 7 stone 6

4 days until my A/F is due, symptom spotting like crazy today lol ui have cramps and sore boobs (but not sure if that's because I keep pressing them) lol

I did pee on an OPK stick yesterday though (I heard you can use it as a preg test but nothing came of it, im not sure how true that is

littlemimosa · 27/03/2017 12:14

Stef, that sounds horrific if im honest. To lose that much weight and be so ill:( Did you end up in hospital? It must be very nerve wracking ttc again. I've heard there are some good safe meds for HG so that's positive. Did you take anything with your DD?

littlemimosa · 27/03/2017 12:09

Jords, I've never tested early. I always wait til af due as i find too many bfns disheartening. But if you're due Sat i think a lot of ladies on here test from 10dpo so maybe tues or wed for you? Depends if you can distract yourself or not this week? I'm still symptom free although i'm getting lots of 'feelings' in uterus....course, that could just be in my mind!

lisara79 · 27/03/2017 09:52

After IB Not after in... stupid phone x

lisara79 · 27/03/2017 08:47

I think there were some women getting bfp from a couple of days past in but others not until after af... maybe test tues/weds... if BFN... try again Sat... it ain't over til it's over x

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 27/03/2017 08:46

In the fww do you all dtd every day?

Jords0105 · 27/03/2017 08:34

Morning guys, littlemimosa yeah I'll look into it, I'm due Saturday shall I hold out or if I've had what I thinks ib when could I test??

OP posts:
lisara79 · 26/03/2017 23:25

Mama... I'm due next Saturday so going to hold out til then (I hope!)... just feels so long to wait.... a few BFPs here would be nice! I am really teary today but I always am at this time of the month...

littlemimosa · 26/03/2017 21:23

Jords, if this isn't your month, maybe look into taking some agnus castus (herbal supplements) to balance out your hormones? When are you going to test do you think? Can't believe i've got at least another week to go!
Mama, really sorry for how you're feeling. I would second that feeling teary could be a sign either way. Have you heard of EFT/tapping (google it)? It's a drug free mehtod for coping with ptsd. Look after yourself hun

Jords0105 · 26/03/2017 13:18

Afternoon ladies, yes the ib has stopped now but read it usually varies from a few hours to a couple days so fingers crossed! I haven't tested yet don't want to be disappointed with a bfn so I'm determined to hold out till afs due, and no littlemimosa it's been strange ever since my mmc in December xx

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 26/03/2017 13:09

Yes thank you lisa. I've been on then since September and was ready to come off them and so it's every other day now. Doesn't help I guess that I realised yesterday that I've gained a ton of weight when I couldn't fit into my clothes from comfort eating. Bah!

Let's hope we all get bfps in the next two weeks!
When is everyone testing?
I'm due to test on on the 6th when I'm on holiday

lisara79 · 26/03/2017 13:02

Mamabooks... they are signs but alas, like everything else, could be something else.... particularly if you are coming off meds... it's so difficult but I think sharing here helps to aliviate the stress of it all. Look after yourself and welcome!
