TTC first baby! Continued...

@Delilah7 my mum told me the metal taste was the only symptom she had before finding out she was pregnant with all 5 of us fingers crossed for you

So I'm hopeful that I have ovulated my mucus though not a lot was egg white on cd 12 but I was on honey moon so didn't do any strips to confirm since cd 15 till today CD 19 my nipples have been very sore this is my second cycle but my first was coming off the pill and took 75 days, should I be hopeful that I may have actually ovulated and might actually have a cycle again that isn't going to be extremely long ???

@FlapJackered I've got the metallic taste again or blood like taste in my mouth, for no reason... xx

You're right @purplestar9 and you have more patience than I do!

Had a pregnancy dream last night. Shows how much I want this!

Thinking about eating keto until ovulation next month. Some tentative evidence it's good for fertility.

@ValidUser that sounds hopeful then! If it was implantation then you won't get you BFP for a few days I wouldn't think.

I'm all good. 8DPO, CD30. Think AF is due around Tuesday next week so still a wait for me! I'm hoping she doesn't arrive and I'll probably test Wednesday if she doesn't! I'm feeling rather 'normal' if that's even possible!

@purplestar9 no AF and still testing negative. AF is officially late. Spotting has cleared up.

How's life with you?

@ValidUser how are you? Still spotting? I've got my fingers crossed for you that is was implantation! 🤞🏻

@FlapJackered also 8DPO. I had some strange 'pain' (or ache) in my lower left tummy area (not cramps) last night. Lasted a few hours then went to bed, seems to have stopped today. No idea what that was! Other than that, I feel completely normal.

It's so nice to spend the time with nieces and nephews isn't it, but so hard at the same time! I have 7 nieces and nephews with 1 more on the way! Surely it's gotta be my turn soon?! When are you back from your hols? I'm not planning on testing unless AF is late. Maybe a week today. Also I got my DH to hide the tests!! 😂

@sunshine1987 just think I'm probably over thinking.

@FlapJackered I'm not going to lie I feel really unwell this morning, tummy was still uncomfortable this morning and I just felt sick. I don't know when to test tbh 😂😂 I'll be 10dpo tomorrow. Xxx

Hi all, just checking in. How is everyone?

Commiserations and fingers crossed for next cycle for everyone with AF.

FIngers crossed for current cycle for those in the TWW!

@Delilah7 glad they're not so bad now

@ValidUser agreed re fmu maybe try again tomorrow in a day or so

Keeping 🤞 for both of you

@ttcat32 still no blood. A negative FRER, but mid implantation that could be normal. And it wasn't fmu.

So I'm still scared to hope, but hoping!

@Delilah7 keep positive, there's no reason why you can't be pregnant this month. Keeping everything crossed for you xx

@ttcat32 ps cramps are still there just not as painful!

@ttcat32 thanks Hun trying not to convince myself I am but these are so familiar to me!

@purplestar9 thank you lovely. Hope you're ok xxx

Just having a quick catch up!

@MrsM2017 sorry to hear AF arrived. Positivity for the next cycle!!

@NewSparkle that's so exciting! I wish you all the happiness in the world! Let us know how the appt goes!

@Delilah7 I really hope this is it for you! You deserve to be happy and have your little one :) keep us posted!

I'm currently 7 DPO. Feel strangely normal! I'm hoping body is finally settling into its natural rhythm! However, my tinnitus is rather loud this evening, time to put some music on to drown it out for a bit haha!

@FlapJackered 🤞 for you!

@MrsM2017 sorry lovely ❤️ hope you are ok, definitely good that things are progressing with your doctor though, anything that puts your mind at rest or can give you more info is a positive

@Chivari good to know! I'll be popping into b&m tomorrow 😂

@Delilah7 how are the cramps now? Surely it's got to be a good sign if you are having same symptoms, try not to stress and definitely poas asap wait till Friday if you can 🤞😘

@ValidUser are you ok? Sorry I am stalking you today I have faith that is implantation!

✨✨✨✨✨ to all!

@cupcakesandglitter defo the cramps and back pain. Had it before but don't want to just look into everything now. If I'm honest I hate saying this out loud as I know I'll be wrong. But I just feel pregnant x

@Delilah7 sounds promising! That's definitely a pg sign... have you ever had it before? X

Thanks @Chivari xx

@cupcakesandglitter definitely give B&M ones a go. They worked really well for me. They said they work 6 days early but only worked for me after AF was officially late

Really strange and I'm sure it's probably AF coming.. but these cramps have carried on, however it's now back pain and to the point it's making me nauseous!

@Chivari never thought to check B&M! I buy mine from Poundland, will purchase some B&M ones if they work!! X

@Delilah7 go for B&M tests, they are about £1 for 3 little strips or £1.50 for 2 bigger tests. I got my 1st BFP on the bigger tests so they def work well. I then bought a clear blue digital after I got my B&M BFP! It will save you money xx
