Despite my TTC last month, it resulted in my AF arriving Christmas Day (deep joy!) it's round 2 this month! I'm due to ovulate on Monday (6th) so anyone else wanna join me, with the overthinking, being excessively paranoid, mystery pregnancy signs and taking PT's when you know you shouldn't be! 🤣🤣
Feel free to jump on the crazy train with me!

Glad you're feeling better @Ginge35. We've got a tummy bug going around- not fun!- so I can empathise.

Sorry to hear that @ablisha. I have read that there's only a 20% chance of conception per cycle, so even if it feels like it's taking an age, it's perfectly normal. I hope that's of some comfort. You'll get there x

BFN for me this morning 11DPO ☹️

newmum2020 · 17/01/2020 05:50

@Ginge35 Tuesday according to fitbit tracker. Good to keep busy, that's my worry as I've nothing on this weekend 🙄although also looking forward to rest!!

@newmum2020 I think it's because I felt so poorly I just lost my shit! 🤪
I work full time and make cakes as a side gig and have a lot of prep to do for next weeks orders, so I will welcome the distraction!
Going to leave the testing until I'm actually late.
After the disappointment of last month I really don't want the same feeling again!
I feel like death the day before I'm due on, so I'm gonna know for sure by Monday if I'm 100% out this month.
You due Monday too @newmum2020 ?

@Ginge35 so true 🤣🤣🤣I nearly had a wobble and was gonna test tomorrow but I think I've talked myself down 😆no symptoms this end, been really sneezy actually so think it's my turn for the cold. Still keep feeling my boobs in hope they'll hurt but they don't 😫I'm trying to tell myself that just cos that was first symptom last time doesn't mean it will be this time... no two pregnancies the same blah blah blah 🙄

Glad you're feeling a bit better after earlier, it's crazy what this does to us!!!!

@newmum2020 just read the article and it's all very rational, but is the person writing the article in the middle of their TWW, because if they were, I guarantee that article would be waaaaayyy different!!!😂😂😂😂
How are you feeling*@newmum2020* any symptoms?
After my melt down earlier I my body feels normal again. No cramps, just sore boobs, but I'm taking that one with a pinch of salt!

Thank you ladies! I'm not going to test tonight. I shall take all of your advice and wait!
Just feel rotten and within the last hour I feel like I could vomit! 🤢 plus I have a funny tummy! Been to the loo 3 times today! All not as "normal" as usual!
That may just from me running about after work but I just don't know!
I'm only 8DPO so gonna hang off until the weekend and suffer!
May just take some paracetamol like you said!
I bet you all it's cus I'm poorly and AF arrives next week! I hope not! 🤞

Yeh I think wait till the morning, tho if your past 10 days then it might show, but still prob best to wait hope you feel better x

newmum2020 · 16/01/2020 18:04

@Ginge35 I'd try and wait til morning if you can. It's ok to take paracetamol even if pregnant so I wouldn't worry about that. Hope you feel better soon x

Bethwox · 16/01/2020 18:03

I'm only 1 DPO and I'm already symptom spotting I have the worst dull ache in my butt plus I'm bloated and gassy! 😰

DustyDiva · 16/01/2020 18:00

@Ginge35 what dpo are you??
If you are having symptoms then I would think it's due to HCG so a test would be positive... so sorry you feel so awful x

Wiggleyfingers · 16/01/2020 17:50

I agree with others @Ginge35. Take paracetamol tonight and test using FMU tomorrow. Hope you feel better soon! xxx

Geauxtigers · 16/01/2020 17:47

I have no symptoms except for having had a dull ache in my lower back for about a week. No sensitive boobs or anything, think I'm out this month. Not even sure if implantation would have occurred yet but I just want to know either way so I can have paracetamol and caffienated coffee again! 😂😂

BecauseReasons · 16/01/2020 17:47

Then again, I'm such a worrier that I'd test first and only take the paracetamol if it was negative.

BecauseReasons · 16/01/2020 17:44

Personally, i wouldn't risk it. Take some paracetamol and apply a hot water bottle?

Very true @ablisha but I need night nurse!!!!
I don't know what to do! 😩😩😩

@Ginge35 my only worry with doing one this eve is your urine will be really diluted

Ginge35 · 16/01/2020 16:07

Ladies I'm in bits! 😭😭😭

My boobs are absolutely killing me! To the point where I can't touch them. My CM has gone really dark yellow and thick, stomach cramps that are just not going away! I can't keep my eyes open and my back (all over) is killing! 😩😩
I think I'm going to take a test tonight and see what's what. If it's a BFN then at least I can throw some drugs down my neck and get myself better! I don't want to take anything too strong just in case.
there is no way I'll get a BFN if my symptoms are pregnancy related????
What do you think?
Guidance required!

@wiggleyfingers I've been using Ovia

ablisha · 16/01/2020 14:33

@Wiggleyfingers I've been using Glow

Wiggleyfingers · 16/01/2020 14:17

I'm doing fine, no symptoms at all here so feeling a bit deflated. Are you using an app to track your cycles? I'm using Ovia and it says I can test from monday so not much longer to wait!

@dustydiva my friend had thrush with hers! This is all positive! I'm excited for you!
My cold has officially taken hold of me, so I can't differentiate from potential symptoms and illness! Not a bad thing though as it's keeping me rational! Haha! 😝
How's everyone else doing today?

DustyDiva · 16/01/2020 12:51

@Flowerpot26 I forgot about that joy! I also had restless legs with DS but not till later on, it's awful!!! Poor you, are you keeping well hydrated?

Flowerpot26 · 16/01/2020 12:39

Anyone getting restless legs, was so annoying last night, I had it with my last pregnancy but late on! Not before I even took the test!
