Hi Everyone! Hope you don't mind me joining. I am currently on my first TTC journey. I am on 10 DPO (ovulated in the 15th and 16th Oct) and normally have 28 day cycles. Should be starting my period on the 29th or 30th Oct. Ive not been having any cramping or swollen boobs. Finding it hard to see true symptoms as I've had dizziness/constipation/bloating/back pain/fatigue and headaches but I have this on and off anyways. So could just be normal for me. I did a test today and nothing so far. It's my first month trying so learning as I go. 

kcf90 · 25/10/2019 22:08

Is everyone else wishing the days away but also hating each day that passes? If that makes sense?!

Rjandy2014 · 25/10/2019 21:41

@Rara87 yeh 10-14 days post ovulation you should expect af! But hopefully not this time round :-)

@babyB19 9dpo is still super early for a faint line.
Keeping hopeful for you guys!!

@BabyB19 I have cramps in my lower stomach, although it's more period pain. I woke in the middle of the night feeling wooooo thirsty! I downed a pint of water and still felt thirsty (not sure if this is relevant but definitely new!) X

@Rara87 no sore breasts for me which is a nice treat, I usually get quite sore around this time of month normally. I think my mind is playing horrible tricks on me to raise my hopes, my stomach feels like AF is on her way.

Rara87 · 25/10/2019 16:59

@showmewhatyougot I’m getting period cramps too! Everyone says they have sore boobs bt it don’t have that symptom. Do you?

Actually don’t know when af is due because I came off the pill and had a withdrawal bleed. Started testing with opk sticks a week after and luckily tested on a peak day. Should I assume 14 days from ovulation date?

Rara87 · 25/10/2019 16:49

@BabyB19 yes stay positive! Remember that people don’t get any symptoms whatsoever.

BabyB19 · 25/10/2019 14:40

Afternoon ladies, how are we all doing? I'm roughly 9dpo now, my symptoms seem to have subsided today so feeling less hopeful, still not even a sniff of a evap line to get excited about here. Trying to stay positive though. Hope you're all doing the same ❤️ xx

Ladies I'm so glad I'm not the only one going mad. Symptom spotting is real 🤷✋

Did an IC last night and this morning and both BFN. I was hoping for the faintest line but absolutely nothing!! I am getting slight cramps, VERY irritable,im concerned my boobs aren’t sore though. Just need to wait it out 😭 ughhhh don’t think I’ve ever wished for a weekend to hurry up and be over 😂

showmewhatyougot · 25/10/2019 11:08

That sounds promising ladies! Good luck!

I keep getting quite sharp period style cramps, which is weird for me so no idea what's going on :(

I'm 9 Dpo today, desperately resisting the urge to go buy tests!

kcf90 · 25/10/2019 11:00

It's like the faintest line ever. It appeared brighter then faded. I know I'm testing too early though, I'm just impatient.

I had to loosen my bra today as my boobs hurt. Today I seem to have a tight chest and coughing so dont know if I'm coming down with something :(

I'm not due on until Wednesday as my cycles are longer!

KCT93 · 25/10/2019 10:57

Still getting cramps, my cervix has gone back high and soft today and temp dropped which can be a sign of implantation. Boobs are a bit sore but I don't know if that is because I have been prodding them hoping they will be sore as a clearer sign 🙈😂 going to do a FRER tomorrow I will only be 8 DPO so still early but I am going to Oktoberfest so if get a faint line I won't touch an alcoholic drink!

bellebox19 · 25/10/2019 10:38

@kcf90 I do think I can see something on your test. Fingers crossed for you x

bellebox19 · 25/10/2019 10:38

I tested with an ASDA test last night and this morning, BFN. I wanted a first response but they didn't have any.

Feeling defeated 😕. Wish I hadn't.

I'm going to hold out till Wednesday if AF doesn't come on Tuesday. It's probs too early now.

How are you all feeling?
My boobs are quite sore and I've noticed for the last couple of days I've had gum bleeding when brushing my teeth - I've heard that can be a sign lol 😆.

@kcf90 I can't see anything, but it's still early days!!

I'm going to try and wait until Tuesday at least. Period due Thursday so should get an accurate reading then.

Not sure I'm too hopeful as I feel like AF is on her way! X

Good luck though and retest in a few days x

Morning all!

Anyone testing today?

I used an IC and a line appeared and then faded. Hard to get a photo so this is the best which makes me think I'm crazy Haha. Think I'm 9 or 10 dpo. The waiting is torture. I cant get excited by faint lines after last month :(

My boobs are still quite sore, yesterday they were quite painful. I had a bit of backache too but I am also a cake decorator and was working all day/night.

Hopefully someone in here has a positive outcome today xx

I haven't got any IC. Going to hold off now. Although in certain I can feel AF wanting to come x

bellebox19 · 24/10/2019 17:24

I realised after looking at my app I miscalculated DPO's and I am actually 10 now instead of 9 lol

bellebox19 · 24/10/2019 17:23

Not tested yet, 10DPO now 🙈. Might have to go to ASDA for some frer's on my way home from work tonight. Getting really desperate to know..

BabyB19 · 24/10/2019 16:25

@Hayley94 I tested this morning and nothing showing as yet but still only 8dpo so I wasn't expecting it too. I'm feeling really bloated, tired, crampy, back achy, moody today, so either I've got a sticky one or I'm going to have an early AF! Xx

Rjandy2014 · 24/10/2019 16:20

@hayley94 when will your ICs arrive? Im feeling impatient for you! Haha

showmewhatyougot · 24/10/2019 16:08

No I'm going to wait till the weekend, I'm due the 30th so should be fairly accurate 🤞
