Really enjoyed being on the Christmas day testing thread even though I was out before the 25th. I thought it would be good to start another thread for peoplw to join me in the TWW since the January buses are such a long period and some people are 14dpo and some like me are counting down the hours to the TWW. I ovulate on Friday 4th or Saturday 5th. Opks are very low at the moment but hoping to catch a surge. Still trying to DTD everyday (we are newlyweds), keep forgetting to take our vitamins and to use preseed but hoping just to get lucky on our second cycle.

@payperview yes you can have a completely different experience even if your other pregnancies were similar with the morning sickness.

@ohio91 try not to worry, ... although easier said then I know.

@user258 that can be an aversion symptom, so where you normally enjoy your pepsi, your surge of hcg hormones can make you no longer like it. I was reading this yesterday, .. you can crave sugar/salty/spicy/protein/calcium things due to pregnancy and then have an aversion to the same thing you had a craving for days later due to hormones (they seemed a little unsure if it is because of hormones was the gist i got, it could be a variation of things but generally its hormones)

Congrats to ladies with BFP also.

Good luck xx

User258 · 15/01/2019 04:03

So, I have had a feeling like a pin sticking into my uterus, it has been constant since yesterday. It's not painful, just annoyingly uncomfortable. I am 10dpo.

I also have a very unhealthy habbit of drinking a can of Pepsi max at lunch time. Today however, it tasted awful- like having money in my mouth if that makes sense?

There are other things too but TMI I suspect.

Anybody else experienced this?

ohio91 · 15/01/2019 00:07

That was supposed to say *stark bfns...

ohio91 · 15/01/2019 00:06

Thanks everyone! Still not getting too excited... Worried incase somehow it was a false positive (even though the line was deffo pink!) And THEN worried incase it doesn't stick 😭 oh boy this is going to be a stressful journey!! Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone else! It's still early for bfps, everyone is different! I was disheartened when I was getting started bfns the last few days because I know other people get bfp as early as 8 or 9 dpo! Keep the faith 🤞🏻

payperview · 14/01/2019 23:49

Just wondering, if I had awful morning sickness in my first 2 pregnancies, is it possible that a subsequent pregnancy could have no sickness? Just feeling discouraged by the lack of nausea.

payperview · 14/01/2019 23:36

Congrats for the bfps. I'm not testing until I'm certain that AF isn't coming, so I won't know until next week. I've got a feeling it will be a bfn anyway.

foreverthe2ww · 14/01/2019 22:03

@hopeful31 .. no problem :) x

foreverthe2ww · 14/01/2019 22:01

@kins00

yes you will be ok to carry on with your exercise as normal. i think the only time it may possibly be a problem is if you never exercise and then decide to try run a marathon, that would be a lot of stress on the body which it wouldn't be used to, but even then it doesn't mean it would definitely cause any problems, .. once the sticky beans are in there they are pretty resilient. Your body is used to exercise though so its perfectly healthy for you to carry on.

hopeful31 · 14/01/2019 22:00

@foreverthe2ww thank you xx

Kins00 · 14/01/2019 21:48

Also congrats on all the BFPs so far... Hopefully plenty more to come!

@ Soexciting it really does get you down doesn't it! I definitely feel happier since I have stopped halved my googling. I just have a little cry when AF comes then start feeling positive that I am at the start of another cycle.

Kins00 · 14/01/2019 21:43

I am still count uong with my usual exercise routine until I get a BFP.... This won't be damaging will it at such an early stage? I get nervous every time I do a sit up just incase!!

foreverthe2ww · 14/01/2019 21:26

@hopeful31 yes totally possible to feel pregnant and to be it. Smile

hopeful31 · 14/01/2019 20:40

Can I ask a question? Is it possible to feel pregnant ? I've had spotting on cd21. Cramps sore nipples sore lower back lots of nausea. Af is due between Saturday (past) and this Wednesday. But the test say negative. But I honestly feel pregnant.
Am I crazy? Or is it possible?

foreverthe2ww · 14/01/2019 20:27

Also huge congrats to @ohio91 and @GMB2000 Cake Flowers

foreverthe2ww · 14/01/2019 20:00

hi @soexciting

"pissing on £3.50 every morning" made me laugh :) .. im sorry you have been feeling down though. I joined this thred as im due af/bfp on the same day as you.

unfortunately i have had no signs or symptoms what so ever! :( .. so i dont feel i have anything in there growing, although obviously i hope there is, somehow.

i have run out of things to google, today i googled what are the most common cravings in early pregnancy and then decided to google what are the most common food aversions in early pregnancy lol .. so yea really bored of the tww every month, .. im also in the same boat as you with not gonna be actively trying or chasing it after this month, i feel like i just need to get on with my life now and it will happen when it happens.

thats not good that you are grinding your teeth :( .. did you know that when you are stressed you produce cortisol and cortisol reduces the amount of progesterone that you produce which as you know you need that in the tww more then ever, so yea .. you may very well find that, IF this month is not your month then as soon as you are more relaxed and enjoying yourself again it will happen a lot quicker, .. easier said the done i know.

but anyway, lets see what this cycle brings, good luck to us all.

R xx

Waiting is taking ages. Luckily I don’t have any tests otherwise I would have caved.
Huge congratulations to those BFP.
Deep breaths and cake for those that aren’t getting the results they want.

JingleAllTheQuack · 14/01/2019 19:23

Some BFPs already! Congratulations!!

Symptom spotting like crazy and trying to resist the urge to test. AF is due on Saturday, so I'm going to start testing Wednesday, which means only one more morning to resist...

To the people who don't have symptoms or don't feel pregnant - don't lose heart! I read that in half of pregnancies, the first symptom is a late period. You're not out yet!

Ange211 · 14/01/2019 18:34

Congratulations to the two bfps!
I so thought I was out after my bfn this morning and some brownish discharge (tmi sorry!) On wiping earlier buuuuuut its totally stopped. AF always starts with bloody discharge for me but gets heavier really quickly. Is it too late for this to be ip? I'm on day 28 of cycle and I thought 14 dpo but didn't use opk so not 100% sure! Argh this is torture!!!!!!

Soexciting · 14/01/2019 13:54

Everyone on this thread is so nice and so deserves everything they hope for. This is such a distressing journey. Today I had sushi (smoked salmon) and an X-ray (dental). The dentist said that my terrible pain at night is due to grinding through stress. She told me to buy myself a new pillow and book in a massage!
I think we should all treat ourselves, good news or bad

ohio91 · 14/01/2019 13:51

@soexciting I didn't confirm ovulation because I don't temp and I didn't get a proper surge I don't think sooooo I'm roughly 11/12 dpo. I'm edging towards more of the 12. Every test up until this morning has been Stark BFN. Don't give up hope yet!!!

sal1987 · 14/01/2019 13:40

Wow I can see lines on both tests congratulations guys!! @Soexciting don't give up yet, keep testing if you want but I still think it's too early yet, I'm flitting from being pregnant to there not been a chance so I'm just so confused with the rest of the week to worry about it!
Nothing I can say will make anyone else feel better but trust me when I say I completely understand the bfn and the absolutely horrible feeling that comes with it, just be kind to yourself, treat yourself to that bottle of bubbly or that fat piece of chocolate!! You will come through the other side!!
Lots of love to you all 💖💖💖

Soexciting · 14/01/2019 12:33

congratulations @ohio91 I am so so happy for you, how many dpo are you?
Wow GMB2000 I can see that line too. Yay to the BFP flying in!

OP posts:
GMB2000 · 14/01/2019 12:11

Evap or very faint positive? I’m 11dpo, had constant cramping since I ovulated and insanely sore and itchy boobs. I feel like I am but I can never believe them when I eat faint results like this because they look like evap line. This was after 3 mins. What do you think?

@ohio91 Congrats I can see a faint line! If you do one tomorrow it should be stronger. I had a really faint line just like that when I got pregnant first time and didn't believe it until I bought a clear blue digital which spelt it out for me.
