Im the same as you came off my pill the end of September. Im the opposite to you my nipples usually go sore around ovulation except this time they are sore straight after ovulation and having barely noticeble af like cramps x

Hi Girls can I join? Think I'm approx 4/5 DPO not really any signs apart from tiny bit of spotting 2 days ago and tender boobs today, Not sure if it's just PMS symptoms came off the pill end of September and have spotted tiny amounts every month between Ovulation and AF so nothing out of the ordinary for me and last month straight after ovulation my nipples were so sore and tingly but haven't got it this month, I've actually been pretty good this month AF due 29th Dec! Good luck to everyone still waiting x

Hey ladies!
My app says I’m 3 days post op but I think I’m more like 4 or 5 based on CM and just a general feeling! 🤞🏻 To everyone for happy Christmas BFPs! AF due roughly New Year’s Day for me as I have quite long cycles- going to try and wait until then to test!! Hoping Christmas festivities will distract me from symptom spotting (who am I kidding!?)

I think I'm 8dpo today. Got an Xmas party tomorrow. 9dpo would be a waste of a frer wouldnt it? So tempted but think I'll enjoy the party and wait a few more days...?

@ivf2019 I'm in exactly the same boat. Every month I am convinced that this is it. And every month I feel so devastated and silly when AF comes. Fingers crossed this is our month!
I'll test on Sunday. That will be 2 or 3 days before AF (not really sure exactly when I'm due). When it's BFN I'll try again on Christmas Day. Fingers crossed for Saturday for you! X

ivf2019 · 19/12/2018 17:28

I think I have convinced myself that I'm pregnant and I'm really annoyed - it's month 21, I absolutely should know better than this Angry

@Teddie1 I think I'll test either Friday or Saturday. It really should be Saturday as when if I get a BFN on Friday it'll put me in a right vile mood in work haha. When are you testing?

Teddie1 · 19/12/2018 16:02

I'm now 8dpo with sore heavy boobs (was just sore nips before) with heavy slightly crampy tummy.
Annoyingly these are all symptoms I get in the run up to AF Envy also got EWCM yesterday.
It's so hard knowing the difference between AF and pregnancy symptoms! ConfusedConfused I guess that's why they say wait until your missed period!
Anyone testing on Sunday?

duckeggbluenotblue · 19/12/2018 13:15

@emmalouise5688 - you apparently get that on the lead up to AF 😓 only know because I've had some too and have been reading things... We are not out till we are out though 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

ivf2019 · 19/12/2018 11:37

@emmalouise5688 I quite often get random patches of EWCM after ovulation. No idea what causes it but it does seem to happen.

Sore nipples is interesting though! Is that normal for you before AF or new?

8dpo today and seriously considering cracking out a FRER tomorrow even though I know it's too early and I'll hate myself afterwards!

Im around 5dpo only thing im noticing is my nipples are really sore. Weirdest thing was today I noticed I had some ewcm when I went the loo at work then this afternoon its changed to creamy like lotion consistency. I had ewcm for a few days last week around ovulation. Does anyone know why I would have it randomly today?

Ivf2019 I'm in exactly the same boat - my SIL is announcing to the family on Xmas day that they are expecting. I'm due on then so don't know how I'll cope with it all if I'm honest!

If I do get a BFP in working most of Xmas day so will just fake a headache 😅

ivf2019 · 18/12/2018 16:29

7dpo ish here today. Trying (failing) not to think about it much!

Spending Christmas with very newborn nephew which will be lovely but it'll be just my luck to come on my period on Christmas eve and then be surrounded by a cute baby and people fawning over said cute baby for 3 days!

No symptoms to report but I don't get much in the way of pre-AF symptoms anyway - never had a sore boob in my life!

If any of you do get BFPs how will you handle not drinking on Christmas day - would your family guess? Mine DEFINITELY would so I'd have to tell them even though I'd only be 4.5 weeks...

duckeggbluenotblue · 18/12/2018 16:04

I've got heartburn 🤔 the only other time I've had this is with my DD but not this early????

Pastaallday · 18/12/2018 10:40

I still have barely any noticeable symptoms. I'm not holding out much hope! Does anyone have to one step cheapy tests from Amazon? I'm guessing they're not going to show a possible positive until I was late for ny period. But don't want to waste my frer. I only have 2! Think I'll try hold off until Sat when I'll be 11dpo I think. Although my bbt is looking a bit off this week so not sure what's going on.

Teddie1 · 18/12/2018 09:37

Can I join too? I O sometime around 11-13th so due AF sometime around 25th Grin
We have been trying for 8 months or so, but currently under fertility investigations (I have cycles 32-42 days, quite irregular, cycstic ovaries). It would be so lovely to have a BFP for Christmas!

What are people's symptoms? At ~7dpo I've got slightly tender boobs/nips (I always get them from O anyway), tired, bloated heavy tummy, windy Blush Quite emotional as well.

@Emmalouise5688

I've got a load of those One step pregnancy tests that I got with my OPKS so may use one of those next week at some point but will save my frer to maybe 22nd. (After my work Xmas party unfortunately!) I've been off the pill since September but this is my first month TTC properly and tracking using Opks and temping. Hoping we dtd at the right times! Sorry about your chemical, I'm not entirely sure what that is tbh. How did you know?

Emmalouise5688 · 15/12/2018 15:28
