November Bus - testing first week of November 2019

@Tamalama when I got a BFP in August, I had a terrible stomach for say 5 days... from around 6 dpo onwards... so it could be a sign!

I got my static smiley last monday, so imagine I am around 6 DPO today... have a terrible feeling AF will be here next week though!

Hi guys can I join? I am ttc number 1. I think this is cycle 6 for us although trying not to count. About 3dpo.

Like others have also mentioned I'm fine for the first week of the TWW but from week 2 I start to dread the arrival of AF. Really going to try and be less stressed this time. I'm naturally an optimistic person but as soon as I think like that my imagination runs away with thoughts of pregnancy and babies.... This month I might try resigning myself to AF arriving and it'll be a pleasant surprise if she doesn't.

Morning everyone! 8dpo today and I had the most horrendous diarrhoea last night (sorry, tmi.) I was googling whilst sat on the loo and it said it CAN be a sign of implantation/early pregnancy. I did have a couple of tugging sensations yesterday morning near right ovary. My DH and I ate the same food yesterday and he is absolutely fine. I'm probably just reading too much into it though 🤔

@Mycrazylife85 @Nic555 I have now started to log each dpo in my phone and the symptoms as every month I think I'm getting 'signs' and actually it's the same as the month before. Argh! 8dpo and this is driving me crazy now. Hate the waiting

@Nic555 not yet! AF is now 4 days late so I'm going to be brave and buy a test today and do it with DH this evening. I'm not always that regular so I didn't want to tempt fate by testing too early

@Nic555 exactly the same here, that's why I checked. I thought I was unusual having watery discharge the other day but looked and it's not 🤦🏻‍♀️ I came off the pill in January and started using OPK about May, but only the last few months we've managed to dtd at the 'peak time'. This month on the day of positive. My cycles appear to be 38 days and have been the last three cycles. How long have you been off the pill?

@BurnerPhone any news have you tested? Xx

@Mycrazylife85 Ive just realised the same as you. Thought my CM was different then realised I had the same last month 😂 and now I'm imagining pains I don't think are there. I know how you feel about long cycles. Mine were like that when I first came off the pill knowing it's ages to wait makes it worse. How long have you been trying for? Xx

@MrsMeow2019 thank you so much. Fingers crossed for you. Let's us know how you get on. I was due to see a doctor to get bloods done last week, (I came off the pill in jan) but it's been cancelled due to doctor illness so I'm due to go on three weeks. 😏 last month I had days of pre-af dark spotting which I think relates to low progesterone. If o get the same this month it'll be Tuesday or Wednesday and AF on Saturday. Husband is away Saturday night so I'm getting wine in for when she arrives as I'm sure I'll want a drink and a quick cry 😂

I also think I ovulated Wednesday or Thursday due to mucus observations. It had dried up by Friday. Hopefully we’ll all get some good news around the same time.
I had twinges on my left hand side and then cramps this afternoon. They only lasted about 10 minutes but I had to sit down. Of course I briefly convinced myself it was implantation pain. It could have been wind though . From what I’ve read it’s too early for implantation but I got early symptoms and bfps with my dds so maybe I implant early 🤞🤞🤞
jemx I think I read that increased cm can be a good sign.

Welcome @MrsMeow2019 👋

@jemx have no idea about CM! I tried to track it before but gave up. Using preseed lubricant so it makes it difficult to tell if it's that making its exit or CM - sorry if TMI!

@omikron I got my static smiley on Wednesday so I think I'm roughly 4dpo too, possibly 3dpo. 2ww sucks!

Anyone who has any tips to minimise obsessing during this time - please let me know 😂

I’m guessing I’m around 9-11 dpo (based purely on apps), did an IC this morning which was negative. This afternoon, genuinely felt like either I’d wet myself or AF had arrived due to watery CM. Not sure if that’s a good sign or just a precursor to AF arriving, anyone know? Just starting to track my CM.

Hi ladies, can I join please ?

Age 34
TTC cycle 3 CD 27

I’m not sure where I am really, Tried Clearblue OPKs this month and didn’t get a static. So maybe haven’t ovulated. DTD according to clue app and if that’s accurate I would be 14 DPO, average cycle 26 days but in truth it tends to be 24 or 27. So thinking AF due today or tomorrow. Got cramps and was tearful yesterday as normal pre AF.

I’ve been reading what you’ve all said about symptom spotting. I’m fine until about 8 DPO then I just want to know one way or the other. Such a pain when you feel 99% sure AF is on her way and just waiting for her to show!

AF due tomorrow so next testing day will be 22nd November.

@Mycrazylife85 38 days does sound like a pain! I’d be even more crazy by then. All my google research keeps leading me back to pre AF symptoms and early pregnancy are the same so don’t count yourself out yet!

I use the flo app to log my symptoms and I've realised my logged symptoms are exactly the same as ever 6dpo. Same CM, same fatigue. No sore boobs. I'm not pregnant and I know it. I get to this stage and just want AF to come to get it over with. Having such long cycles (38 days) I have around a 28 day wait till ovulation though which sucks. Feeling pretty mheh today

@Tamalama fingers crossed for you too. Don't forget that every pregnancy is different even for the same person so even without the hard boob symptom doesn't mean you're out. I get that it will make you feel less confident though. When I had my DS, taking the pregnancy test was almost like confirmation of what I already knew. Somehow I did just know. I don't feel like that at all this time.

Nice to see that many others are 7dpo today too and we're in this together. Although I am worrying that I might have got ovulation wrong as my boobs aren't full and heavy yet and normally they are straight after ov.

@Tamalama was literally about to post the same thing this morning! Even though I promised I wouldn't, I've been symptom spotting like mad. I've been waking up to go to the toilet throughout the night and have had an achy pelvic feeling. Had both in early stages of my last pregnancy but I know I'm reaching a bit there! @Nic555 I'm the same, I know by the end of next week it will completely reverse and I will have convinced myself I'm not! Thank goodness for this thread you all have made me feel more sane knowing its not just me! The joys of the 2ww!

Same here. I don't really worry about it too much the first week and then the 2nd week I just always think there's no chance. I can't even imagine ever getting a BFP. I started spotting 10 DPO last month rather than my usual 12 DPO so least I don't have too long to way x

@Makeafamily19 yep, I feel like that every month 😕 I've had watery cm this morning, so I'm confused too!
When I had my DD and when I was pregnant earlier this year one of the early indications was sore hard boobs. The closer I get to af every month without that symptom is when I know I'm pretty much out...

@TeeBagg it's a horrible feeling isn't it? Everything crossed that you get a bfp.

@CooperLooper I'm on cycle 8 so I've learned my lesson regarding testing early as I've been disappointed every month and the amount of money I've spent over the last few months is crazy! I'm hoping I've done enough but who knows 🤷‍♀️ how many dpo are you?

Yes I was quite confident a few days ago and now starting to think I'm just being an idiot getting my hopes up again! 7DPO today, had EWCM this morning which has confused me!

@Tamalama yes very much so! So much that I declined dtd later that week and then regretted it! I'm now somewhere around 11-13 dpo and feeling less and less confident. Af sort of due on Wednesday but my cycles aren't always bang on. I'm not intending on buying any pregnancy tests until Friday so I feel like the tww is a million years!
