Driving myself crazy over here and would be great to hear if anyone else in my position?

I know how unlikely it is to get pregnant first go but apparently it's not making the symptom spotting any better!

Probably only 5DPO now so extremely unlikely I would even be getting symptoms yet but I swear I can feel something in usual period pain area this morning, and sore nipples. Anyone else ever felt anything this early or is it biologically impossible & just my crazy brain?

I'm 26 (nearly 27)
TTC baby no 1
Cycle no 1
CD 19
AF due 23/04

My body was so super sensitive to pills I came off it as soon as it would have been 'ok' to get pregnant so been off for about 1.5-2 years and just used condoms since then. Been dreaming of babies all year and reading up all things fertility so in some ways feels like I've been trying for longer. This time I think I caught LH surge, ddt straight away and think I ovulated next day.

Can I join too?! I’m in my first ever TWW and think I’m about 4dpo ... feeling very tired, but no other symptoms aside from some strange cramps. Could just be from all of the gardening I did at the weekend, but can’t help but be a little hopeful that something else is going on! 🙈

@ShortandStout1 It's horrible isn't it! So so difficult to track. I am just symptom spotting like a maniac. I keep randomly falling asleep and having accidental 3 hour naps?! Not like me at all. Just so exhausted. Had an increased appetite too, sore nipples and heart palpitations and stinky pee. Whether they are actual symptoms I don't know, I'm just googling everything I feel followed by the words 'early pregnancy' then convincing myself. Had a negative test 3 nights ago in the evening and wanted to retest with first morning wee but I can't be bothered when I know it'll be negative. Naively want my next test to be a positive one!!!

ShortandStout1 · 24/04/2018 18:08

Hi @WelshBarbie my periods are really irregular except mine are more frequent but I'm not sure what's worse lots of periods or none both horrible when ttc.

WelshBarbie · 24/04/2018 12:28

Can I please join this thread!! Me and my partner started trying a few weeks ago and I am constantly symptom spotting. I've also gone completely and utterly baby mad! It's slightly insane 🙃 only annoying thing is my periods are super irregular and I haven't come on in months so it's so hard to track. Started using opks daily and think yesterday's was positive!! We have baby danced a lot and then I wake up this morning convinced I feel pregnant. I'm losing my mind!!! Hahaha

problembottom · 24/04/2018 12:14

Ooo how exciting @waitingforbubbles

My boobs remain absolute agony, I can't take my bra off for a second. Because I didn't have periods on the coil before we started trying two months ago am not that sure about dates. I think if my cycle was 28 days AF should have appeared on Friday. DP thinks we should wait until this Friday, if there's still no sign of AF, to test. I'm feeling very irritable today which he is saying might be PMS. This whole business is driving me a bit crazy that's for sure.

Moxska · 22/04/2018 16:01

@waitingforbubbles I don't know atm cause I have no idea when anything happened or cycle length etc was gonna try and do it maybe mid this week or the one after? AF should have been somewhere around there I think :)

waitingforbubbles · 22/04/2018 14:39

Welcome @Moxska and @problembottom !!

That's exciting about potential implantation bleeding @Moxska , when are you going to test?

@problembottom definitely hope! Boobs is the first thing I felt and it was not too different from AF but maybe more painful.

Managed to get a positive digital today and it's so nice to see it in writing! Still only 12DPO so 'cautiously excited'. My AF would have been due tomorrow.

Any more concrete signs of AF @Slou14 ? X

This is my second month of trying. AF due right about now! I’ve had a week of very sore, full breasts. Probably ahead of AF but I can hope. Smile

Moxska · 21/04/2018 20:57

Same boat! No idea when AF due so not really sure when to test. Have PCOS and realllllly irregular cycles. Seems to be better after stopping progesterone only pill which I was on a few months so fingers crossed thats reset it a bit!

Noticed some potential Implantation bleeding today so will see.

Slou14 · 21/04/2018 19:25

Great news @waitingforbubbles! Keep us updated!

As expected, I've had some spotting today so I'm 99.9% sure I'm out. I don't think it's implantation bleeding as I usually have 2 days of spotting before AF so I think she's on her way 🙁.

Surprisingly I feel ok about the whole thing and have already accepted that this isn't my month. I've started reading woman code so in the meantime I'm just focussing on getting as healthy as I can (although I'm currently enjoying a G&T in the sunshine😂).

Keep us updated both! I'm going to hang around on MN so let me know what goes on with you both. I look forward to seeing how you get on! Xxx

ShortandStout1 · 21/04/2018 16:12

@waitingforbubbles I'm not hopeful can't test until Monday because staying at in laws and they don't know we are trying

waitingforbubbles · 21/04/2018 16:04

@ShortandStout1 I am still hopeful for you!! Lots of people mistake implantation bleeding for a period!!

When could you test?? X

ShortandStout1 · 21/04/2018 16:02

@waitingforbubbles Been feeling nauseous all day not sure if it has anything to do with anything

waitingforbubbles · 21/04/2018 15:01

@ShortandStout1 @Slou14 so it's quite a bit darker today :)

Picked up a Clearblue digi which I'll do on Monday. Want a night off testing because I haven't been sleeping properly!

How are you both feeling today ?

Xx

OP posts:
ShortandStout1 · 20/04/2018 21:35

@Slou14 Can't test until Monday because staying at in laws until Sunday night and they don't we are trying

Slou14 · 20/04/2018 20:40

I don't think you're imagining it all!!!!!!!! That's a line!!! Congratulations @waitingforbubbles!! I agree with @ShortandStout1, take another tomorrow morning? Might be worth getting doing a clearblue digi too?? Keep us updated 👍🏼 xx

ShortandStout1 · 20/04/2018 19:03

Looks positive @waitingforbubbles congratulations but I'd test again with fmu.

@Slou14 it has been lightests period ever for me but too heavy to be implantation sigh

waitingforbubbles · 20/04/2018 18:55

You are being so sensible @Slou14 - I am super impressed!

I have a slight development- I had a compulsion to take a test around 4pm with a FRER and got what I think might be the faintest line EVER, if I'm not totally imagining it!

What do you think ?! @ShortandStout1 @Slou14 xx

Anyone else in their first (or one of first) TTW?
OP posts:
Slou14 · 20/04/2018 18:33

You're not out yet @waitingforbubbles!! I tell myself the same over and over but I'm almost certain AF is on her way. I usually start spotting two days before AF so I'll know more tomorrow. If spotting starts, AF will be with me on Monday!

Part of me wants to test but as this is my first cycle trying, I don't want to start getting into the habits of testing early month after month. As much as the wait is killing me, I think I want to hold off and wait and see until Monday.

How are you both today? AF being kind @ShortandStout1? Any developments with you @waitingforbubbles ? Xx

waitingforbubbles · 20/04/2018 08:19

@Slou14 very sensible- I tested using a cheap test (but still quite sensitive - detects 10mg Of HCG) and got BFN. So disappointing but still have a tiny bit of hope! I'm going to try and not test until Monday now, or maybe even see if AF turns up. X

OP posts:
Slou14 · 20/04/2018 06:32

I couldn't do it this morning! I just can't face seeing a BFN!! I want another day of feeling hopeful. Did you test @waitingforbubbles ?? Xx

waitingforbubbles · 19/04/2018 17:58

@Slou14 I'm feeling much less confident now too! When are you going to test? X

OP posts:
ShortandStout1 · 19/04/2018 17:49

@Slou14 Due to coming off the depo 11 months ago my cycles have ranged from 14 to 28 days so not a total surprise

Slou14 · 19/04/2018 17:44

Aw so sorry @ShortandStout1 🙁 is it unusual for AF to come a week early? I'm feeling less and less confident as each day goes on. I feel like AF is imminent but we'll see...

ShortandStout1 · 19/04/2018 12:59

@waitingforbubbles I hope it's related to implantation
