TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

I'm now 6dpo, feeling really tired again (good job we didn't have Friday night plans), and I can't tell whether I've eaten too much or I've got the beginnings of crampy feelings.

Or am I just massively over thinking again

Try and do one about 4-6 pm I get my peak in the afternoon

@Gigi318 how you doing today?

Hows everyone else? I'm 6dpo today beginning to get inpatient now 😂

@Katie1109 yes I'm very active. I've taken some paracetamol just to try and ease the discomfort. It's more that I'm aware of it then in pain. I'd much rather my 12-24 hours of numbing pain & contractions as I just take co-codamol and sleep then I am pain free completely after that. This is just annoying!!!
I may do. I weirdly still have swollen, sore boobs too. My mind is definitely messing with me this month. It sucks!
How are you today?? Xx

@Katie1109 it's light, and I always have light AFs really. It's honestly so crampy on the one side and I am mega bloated. I feel so off today! I had a lot of pain yesterday and worried something was wrong so did a test and BFN. Yesterday would have been 15DPO, but I classed as CD2. Hmmm that's interesting. That would of course be amazing but I doubt it 🙈
But I never cramp. Never! I usually have excruciating pain as soon as it lands. This time is cramping on the one side and continuous cramping. Not painful as such just more niggly. So it's just frustrated. I'm also annoyed with all the bloat. As, again, I never bloat. But I feel huge!!! Xx

I'm doing okay! AF not painful. It's oddly not like my usual, it's more crampy rather than the pain I'm used to. It's so odd!!

@Gigi318 hmm so I spoke to soon. Bled very lightly for a couple of hours then absolutely nothing all night. Maybe this was my withdrawal bleed?

@Raizelrea OMG yay! It's like where you've not been focused on TTC your body is just doing its own thing and 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you babe. This could be a silver lining at the end of a very tough few weeks for you both 💙💖
I'm doing okay. Think I'm also going to take much more of a step back this month. Try to not think about it much or plan anything and just see what happens. I can't take any more obsessing 🙈so I may also try to stay off here a bit more!

@Peaceandloves thanks amazing babe. Hurrah, finally getting somewhere. Will you still last that as CD1? Yayy you can start to track things now woohoo xx

@Gigi318 finally a break through tonight for me as having a light bleed. Think probably withdrawal rather than full AF as light pink/brown and not much but still the first sign of anything since coming off the mini pill so hoping things moving in the right direction! Have spent the last week being an absolute teary hormonal mess haha

@Gigi318 Thanks hon, I'm ok, work's been a bit pants on top of everything else but at least I'm not hyperfocused on TTC which is handy! I had my peak on Monday according to OPKs, had loads of EWCM for the first time in a long time so feeling semi-hopeful as we DTD both Sunday and Monday. How are you?

@claireb707 congratulations on the new job! (sorry I'm days behind 😂)

Absolutely shattered again tonight and like I could go to bed now, was in bed by 9.30 last night and asleep by 9.45 - almost unheard of for me. My sleep app registered 7 1/2 hours sleep - I'm normally a 6 - 6 1/2 hours a night girl

@jemx thanks babe. That's what I thought. Good to commiserate with! I'm doing okay. Feel a bit better now. Think I might do my best to try and forget about it all for a few days 🙈 xxx

@Gigi318 I’m fine thanks, how are you? It’s such a disappointment when AF arrives isn’t it? Fingers crossed that next month will be the one for you, enjoy your wine while you can! xx

Oh goodness, I've missed so much today and all I did was have a hair appointment 🤣🙈 will do my best to catch up!

@Katie1109 yay to OPKs! Although I am not an expert in them but glad the girls were able to give you some feedback. Looks a pretty strong line?

@Peaceandloves oh babe thank youuu! What a kind thing to say. I hope so. And in the meantime, I'm more than happy to drown my sorrows in wine (which I am doing right now hehehe) how are you doing???

@Lizziedu49 OMG yes. This is literally how I feel right now. And I do have a flair for the dramatic... 😂😂😂

@Raizelrea how are you doing babe?? Miss youuuu xx

@jemx welcome love! How are you? Don't worry, I think we all are. Patience is not my strong point. I always KNEW that when I decided I was ready for a baby, I would want it, like, yesterday. So TTC is fun 🙃 hehehe! Sorry, I'm usually a light of positivity but AF arrived last night and I'm drinking wine! I'm just about to move onto cycle 3! Fingers crossed for you xx

@Katie1109 @Makeafamily19 I've only been using OPKs for two cycles so far so far from an expert, but I'm pretty sure I peak over night - both of the times cheapies have been getting stronger but not quite there but CB opk gave me peak results in the evening (around 8pm-9pm) and by the morning the cheapie barely had a line. That or maybe I drink too much water by for cheapies to ever have a strong line. So I guess it just varies.

😂😂😂

Pretty accurate...

@Makeafamily19 thank you it's actually my birthday on 4th Nov so really hoping I'll get a BFP!

Welcome @jemx I'm due 4th Nov and a few of us are around that time so we can survive this TWW together 😆

@Katie1109 yeah cos your LH normally peaks in the afternoon but I've had strong positives in the morning before when I've had a peak in the evening and it's lasted till morning 😊 if you only test once a day do it in the afternoon but once I detect high fertility I can test 3 times a day 🤣 obsessed
