@Tamalama fingers crossed then!! I totally had symptoms for the last week but they seem to be fading now so don't think we've caught at all 🤦🏼‍♀️ just waiting to see how long this cycle is as it's first after coming off the pill

Tamalama · 29/05/2019 08:53

@flossy12 Haha I'm totally the same with my bowels 😂

When I had my dd 2.5 years ago I fell pregnant within 3 months of coming off the pill. I went back on the pill once she was born. I came off it again in November and fell pregnant the following month but had a mc 5/6 weeks later.

I went back on the pill again as we weren't sure when to try again, but I came off it again after a month or so. I've had two cycles now of ttc. I don't know if the mc, being on the pill and coming off it again is having an affect on conception at the moment.

I worry about my age too as I'm 39 in December...

I have have af symptoms but my boobs feel more sensitive than they usually do when I had af whilst on the pill, and sensitive boobs was a sign when I got pregnant last December... who knows 🤷‍♀️ it's a waiting game that seems to go on forever...

flossy12 · 29/05/2019 08:30

@mumofbun I know! My sister is just the same 😂👏🏼 just going to hang on till Monday before I test again though, saves the disappointment as it gives AF a time to show up

mrssunshinexxx · 29/05/2019 08:28

If af doesn't come today or tomorrow I may allow my self to get a little excited because I am usually like clockwork x

mumofbun · 29/05/2019 08:27

@flossy12

Totally know what you mean about the bowels 😂 hopefully it’s a good sign you don’t feel that way!

mumofbun · 29/05/2019 08:22

@mrssunshinexxx

Fingers crossed that’s a good sign!!

@Paddypaws91

I’ve also never done temping but there is also a dip just after day 20 and I believe implantation can cause another dip? I would just keep monitoring as it’s the first cycle of measuring and if you don’t get a bfp (🤞🤞🤞) then you have more data for next cycle!!!

@Tamalama

I’m in the same boat - stomach cramps last night and a bit this morning. Due Friday 😔

Totally agree with all the comments about how rude it is when people ask/talk about getting pregnant without invitation! Had it twice in the last week and I know my MIL is just gagging for me to have a baby!

flossy12 · 29/05/2019 08:20

AF due today 🤷🏼‍♀️ no symptoms so far though usually have bad bowels (tmi) the couple days before but nothing, just a waiting game now, probably missed OV day aswell 🤦🏼‍♀️

Tamalama · 29/05/2019 08:04

@Paddypaws91 thank you 🤞
The thing that confuses me if that my boobs are sorer that they usually are when af is due. If they're that sensitive though I thought the pregnancy hormone levels would be high enough to detect on a test 😕

Paddypaws91 · 29/05/2019 07:57

@mrssunshinexxx EEP fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@Tamalama eurgh that sucks, FX for you too!

@mrssunshinexxx I'm due on Friday, but I have my usual af symptoms. I've had them since yesterday 😕

mrssunshinexxx · 29/05/2019 07:30

@Tamalama when are you due x

Tamalama · 29/05/2019 07:29

@mrssunshinexxx Fingers crossed for you! 🤞😊

I'm 12dpo, took a frer test using fmu, got another bfn ☹️ I definitely think af is on her way 😕

mrssunshinexxx · 29/05/2019 07:17

@Paddypaws91 not getting too excited but no af as yet was convinced she would come over night

Paddypaws91 · 28/05/2019 22:50

@mrssunshinexxx never. ending.

Don't feel bad - moan away! I remember how gutted I felt after my first cycle. Don't feel like you have to hold back.

It is so rude isn't it. I can't mention feeling tired/sick now without the look 👀

OP posts:
mrssunshinexxx · 28/05/2019 19:52

@Paddypaws91 house jobs are never ending aren't they

I'm only on cycle 1 so I feel bad moaning (my last pregnancy wasn't planned )

Yeah well I'm kind of dreading people askin me that at these weddings because it is coming up to our 2nd wedding anniversary
It's really rude !

Paddypaws91 · 28/05/2019 19:35

@mrssunshinexxx oh god, who the hell knows? I'll just ride the wave on this one 😂

That's a couple of lovely things to look forward to and it'll be nice to let you hair down and not worry about having a few drinks 🍸

I'm on cycle 6, what about you?

I haven't got anything as nice as a wedding and a holiday to look forward to, but lots of work going on with the house, so lots to keep me preoccupied.

Just struggling at the minute, me and my husband have just had our 3rd wedding anniversary (10 years together) and everyone is commenting about me not being pregnant 😭 and it just feels everyone around me is pregnant at the moment. Just keeping as busy as possible to get through it! X

OP posts:
mrssunshinexxx · 28/05/2019 19:26

@Paddypaws91 I have no idea about tracking temps but looks to me as though you ovulated on the 22nd?

I have 2 weddings and a holiday in the next month so it will be a lovely month and at least I don't have to disguise the not drinking if I had of caught this month

What about you?
what cycle are you on x

Paddypaws91 · 28/05/2019 18:51

@mrssunshinexxx I don't know 🙈 I've been temping this cycle (for the first time) and I've been trying to decipher the graph. Looks like ovulation occurred 2/3 days ago, but who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ our bodies are so complex!

I've heard from quite a few ladies on here that they felt like they were getting AF before they got their BFP. I don't want to give false hope, but you never know. Have you got anything coming up to look forward to/keep busy?

mrssunshinexxx · 28/05/2019 17:29

Thanks ladies

@Paddypaws91 could it be implantation and you got your o date wrong??

I feel af coming but trying to be positive thinking this time next month I could be getting a bfp

Paddypaws91 · 28/05/2019 17:04

Omg guys WTH is going on? I feel like my period is about to start. Got pressure cramping and in my back too. Feel sick and spotting bright red blood, but I'm 3dpo?!

I would have assumed late ovulation, but I had spotting 3 days ago when my app says I ovulated and I've been temping and using OPKs and all suggest I have already ovulated. Massively confused Confused Anybody experienced anything like this before?

Sending you lots of love @mrssunshinexxx It can be so hard. Everyone is so supportive on this thread x

OP posts:
mrssunshinexxx · 28/05/2019 13:01

Thanks @Tamalama I do find this thread and you ladies helps so much so talk with people that won't judge and are going through the same thing because no one in real life knows we are trying x

Paddypaws91 · 28/05/2019 12:23

So sorry to see BFNs, CD1 is the worst and it doesn't get any easier 😞

Good luck to everyone testing soon, I need a serious catchup on the thread.

I don't know if anyone is able to help me, but Google isn't providing any answers! I had ovulation spotting 3 days ago on predicted O day (not unusual for me), but today I have also had some spotting that was bright red, so obviously new blood.

Is it possible I've ovulated twice? I know it's waaaaay too early to be implantation. Or is it common to experience ovulation spotting days apart? 🤔

OP posts:
Tamalama · 28/05/2019 12:17

@mrssunshinexxx

I'm sorry for your loss, I had a mc in January at 5/6 weeks ☹️ we've only started trying for two cycles but I seem to just be obsessive about it this time around 😕 I definitely think my cramping is af related and I've got a headache. I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

@mumofbun keeping everything crossed you get a bfp this month. 😊

mrssunshinexxx · 28/05/2019 10:18

@mumofbun I'm cramping so I think af is coming 😢

mumofbun · 28/05/2019 09:39

@mrssunshinexxx

So sorry you had a loss - just give yourself time! I know it's hard when you make your mind up and each month seems to last forever but fingers crossed we will all get there!

I'm also due AF tomorrow according to flo...giving myself until Friday though as that's when i think i'm due from my ovulation day.

@Tamalama

I've never even bought a test! I don't want it to become a negative thing for me so i'm hoping that the first time i buy one i will get my BFP! Def think AF is on the way for me though - boobs are tender and swollen and i feel a slight cramping/unwell feeling in my stomach which are usual signs :( On the plus side i get to try my moon cup again...
