Morning all!

I feel like I’ve been ‘good’ until now but am ready to do some serious symptom spotting. Would anyone like to join me?

TTC: DC#2
Cycle: 2
DPO: 7
Symptoms: just a few occasional crampy pangs and (sorry if TMI!) a little bit of diarrhoea yesterday (is this even a symptom?!)

Fingers crossed for a thread full of BFPs! 😊 x

Hi everyone,
Got backache still, so think AF on her way. Due Monday and this will be our 6th month of trying so feeling a bit disheartened. What I thought was a cold sore is actually a mouth ulcer on my lip which can be caused by hormone changes so I got hopeful...then today i feel much less hopeful and just scared it won't ever happen.

Hi, hope I can join!

I'm 11dpo on cycle #1 after coming off the mini pill.

For the past 2/3 days I've had a number of new 'symptoms'.

Main one is a seriously dry mouth and being constantly thirsty. It hasn't gone away in 3 days! Tender boobs, random twinges and cramps, exhausted and I keep burping which is making me feel ill 🤢

Af isn't due for another 5 days for me. I took a cheap test yesterday and could see a hint of a line. Took a frer this morning at 5am (couldn't sleep) and I can see the faintest or faint lines (I hope!) It won't let me upload the pic for a few hours though 🙄 I hate that MN rule!

Ah, limesoda, really sorry about your BFN, but onwards and upwards - fab to hear about your Ibiza trip, sounds like a great opportunity for some couple fun and baby-making time! 😊

I still can’t quite believe my BFP! It’s still early days so am really hoping that all goes smoothly over the next few weeks.

Do people mind if I stay around for a bit? It seems weird to set up a thread and then just bugger off! 😂

Happy Friday all xx

@starfish83 I tested this morning at 10dpo just because my blood sugar is being such a dick I had to rule it out. BFN (unless being able to see the indent where a line would be counts 😂) so it’s probably all related to some kind of bug but it means I can sort with the nurse team today.

It’s my birthday and DH booked a trip to Ibiza for the end of the month which is officially my happy place. As a bonus we are there during predicted fertile week so that will help take the sodding pressure off a bit.

Have you wrapped your head around yours yet?

@Starfish83 that's so exciting !!!!!! Looks good to me!

i will not test, I will not test, I will not test

limesoda · 08/05/2019 17:47

@starfish83 it’s so exciting though! If I ever get a positive FRER I think I would do a digital one just to be sure and that would be it. You are pregnant, lady 💃

@Starfish83 ok so I'm actually due on the 12th not the 11th . Just checked my calendar again and was like Doh! Anyway I'm totally testing on the 12th if AF hasn't raised her ugly head! I was going to wait a couple days into af but I'm heading down to my parents with the wee man so want to test before I go. Of course AF will appear and kill all these nice day dreams of a bfp!!

limesoda · 08/05/2019 14:15

@IAmNotPatientOrPregnant the symptoms are so real it is scary. I've been writing mine down this month, just so that next month I can calm myself down a bit. I SO hope it is your month, though.

@Jonesydocandjr well done for not testing yet! It is sooooooo hard.

@Sleepyhead11 I have no idea. Period not due till Wednesday, I'll probably crack on Sunday at 12dpo. It is my birthday on Friday and I'm half tempted to try then early tests are just so utterly pointless I really shouldn't.

Hi and welcome, newbies!

IAmNotPatient, sounds promising - any luck with the FRER?

Jones, I’m another crazy symptom-spotter! 😂 It’s so hard, isn’t it? At least you only have a few days to wait. Are you planning on testing on the 11th?

Sleepyhead, hope you’re having a lovely holiday! If you’re not having any ‘clear’ symptoms, you might be best to hold off if you can? When’s AF due?

I’m likely to retest as soon as I get some more PTs! 😬 x

Sleepyhead11 · 08/05/2019 10:31

hello, sorry for late reply, am on holiday and trying really hard not to look at my FRERs. DP has buried them under the luggage but I know where they are. 9dpo, I think, but not really tracking. Feeling premenstrual though, so it might not happen this month. It's month three of trying and for some reason I had month three pinned as the 'it will happen month.' I know, lots of folk try longer, and I am being silly.

When are folk testing/re-testing?

How long should I hold off?

So sorry @Mummylanie - maybe see you on June bus, thread, but I am going to try to be less obsessive next month.

Jonesydocandjr · 08/05/2019 10:27

Hey can I join?

AF due on the 11th and I'm trying my hardest not to test ! But I'm driving myself nuts symptom spotting a second ago I sneezed and realised I'd been sniffing all morning so obviously my brain went 'Symptom you must be preggers!' I don't even know if it is a symptom !!! Lol

I have also been having cramps all week. Dreaming the most vivid dreams every time I sleep! Lower back pain ( but then my backs not great anyway). Some slight nausea...

If only after the minute of conception you got a nice big plus sign on your belly and you could just be like ' oh cool I'm pregnant' lol

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 08/05/2019 08:21

Can I join? Desperately trying to get my hand on a first response as I think I've got a line but I'm dubious of the cheap test I've taken.

Every month I think I can see a line, every month AF comes! My symptoms have been very mild, I'm 10dpo today, had a little constipation last week, been really gassy the last few days, been very emotional. And today my boobs feel very slightly tender, not painful but they feel different.

I really hope it's my month!

Babytrain89 · 08/05/2019 07:48

@starfish83 Im too scared to get my hopes up! Still got cramps....its unusual for them to be this early.
Ah I wont test until AF hasn't arrived...due Monday 13th I believe, so will be 14th.

Mummylanie3 · 08/05/2019 07:16

Those symptoms sound promising, Babytrain! 🤞🏼 When are planning on testing (sorry if you’ve already said in a previous post!)? x

Hi everyone! Super tired over here. Acne break outs. Still got cramping/tugging and AF not due for another 6 days. Got backache as well...boobs aren't as tender today but I just feel aware of them which might sound weird. Felt reeeallllyyyy sick after a coffee earlier and again just now so who knows! Baby dust to everyone. @starfish83 - that does look like a squinter to me!
