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!

@Ginge35 @HighlandMam1 actually I think that is a symptom !!! 🙊 I forgot about it until you said but my gums were really sore and bled every time I brushed my teeth when pregnant!

I also got sore boobs straight away... Now I'm going to be bipping them constantly haha!

Also I stupidly looked back in my app and last time I got a bfp at 8dpo!!! Can't believe it was that early but I wish I didn't know that now, I was much better at being chill before...

🤣🤣 @Ginge35 I only had a checkup before Christmas so I really must've over indulged with the sweets over the festive period! 🤣 thankfully there's an appointment available for Monday!!
It's crazy that we just want to feel rotten so we can hope it's signs. Last month I had every sign going and honestly thought that was the month and AF arrived four days late and I'm usually like clockwork!

Ginge35 · 09/01/2020 18:28

@HighlandMam1 think you might need to go to the dentist! 😝
I've still got bad cramps but that's ovulation, as it's the same every month since coming off the pill! They are worse than period pains! Just awful! I thinks it's horrendous that we all want to feel like shit just so we know we are pregnant! 😂😂😂

So far no symptoms what so ever! Unless crazy inflamed gums is one?? Confused not a twinge or anything so I think I will be trying again next month 😂

newmum2020 · 09/01/2020 18:03

@Ginge35 I'm 2DPO (going by predicted date as I can't be sure!) and I've spent the day secretly touching my boobs to see if they hurt 🤣🤣🤣(they aren't🙁)

EffRam · 09/01/2020 17:08

@Ginge35 Oh absolutely! the headache is definitely a symptom (despite having had it since before ovulating) and I DEFINITELY feel nauseous Hmm oh dear only 10 days of this to go! Grin

Ginge35 · 09/01/2020 16:53

Evening ladies! So any one have any "mystery" symptoms yet?
I'm 1DPO and ready to start imagining things! 😝

Flashing smiley face this morning on CB OPK. Day 24 of my cycle. Time to get jiggy.

sojo44 · 09/01/2020 08:22

Aaaaah!!! Just catching up on this thread! 😂😂😂

Also yes!!! I do all sorts of upper back stands (don't know what the pose is called) after DTD and god knows what juuuuuuust in case !!

I'm on a train going to work and debating whether to click the cervix link now and give some poor businessman who's sitting next to me a shock if sees my screen 😅😂

8-9DPO today, first day my boobs feel really heavy and sore (as in get out the bed ow ow ow, dear god woman put a bra on to stop them moving)! But probably just post OV hormones.

CD 26 but my last cycles have been 44 days so not sure what's going to happen with this cycle.

How is everyone doing? 😘

Ginge35 · 08/01/2020 22:22

@newmum2020 I'm 35 and that's the first time I've seen a cervix! I was nearly sick! 🤢 hahahaha!!!
I had no idea about all of this crap! My god!
I can't check mine even if I wanted to because according to every nurse who has done my smears says that I'm "wonky" and my cervix is hard to reach! Another thing to add to the list of difficulties of getting pregnant! Hence the reason why I'm upside down in some ridiculous poses,to give the swimmers a chance to reach my cervix!
Even if I wasn't wonky I won't be checking anything up there! As I've said before I'll just stick to my OPK's! 😝😝😝

Woah. Cervixes are not attractive things!

newmum2020 · 08/01/2020 21:31

We've had a few chats about cervix checking for ovulation and i came across this website which I found interesting but you might not want to look as it contains some very graphic images!! But helpful to see/know what's up there for those who want to try feeling cervix position! Anyway just thought I would share in case it is of interest to anyone!

Now there's a question!! I started my journey 9 years ago, just after we were married. Found out I had severe PCOS, and a-typical as I am very slim and non of the usual PCOS features. Three rounds of IVF and two miscarriages and we had our wee boy who is now 7. Even though 'I'm lucky to have one', it doesn't stop your heart breaking to add to your family with another. It is a very difficult journey for anyone who is trying to start a family or indeed add to it, but the main thing I learnt from our IVF journey was KEEP GOING!!! X

Togstiree · 08/01/2020 21:12

My Hubster keeps saying that to me also to stop stressing and worrying. It's very hard. No friends have ever said the trying part was such an emotional roller-coaster. This is meant to the the first part. I cried most of my drive to work this morning.. 😢 How long have you been TTC xx

DustyDiva · 08/01/2020 21:01

I know how you feel @Togstiree ... I'm 8dpo and tested twice and both negative, feeling nauseous in mornings and when I'm hungry and had some weird pains in tummy/uterus. I've just poured a large glass of wine as I need to stop thinking about it all!!

Togstiree · 08/01/2020 20:57

Feeling like a crazy lady.
Cycle 3 TTC#1
8dpo and having the sore boobs, tiredness, cramping and strange feelings in my tummy.
I've done 2 tests I know far too early both bfn.

BecauseReasons · 08/01/2020 20:15

Well, fingers crossed for you @newmum2020. I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen for me just yet, so I shall send you my share of this month's baby dust.

newmum2020 · 08/01/2020 20:13

@BecauseReasons I hope so. I think last night I just panicked! I had a proper period at Xmas and it was 5 weeks after MC which is pretty much textbook according to my old pal google 😊so it SHOULD be ovulation time, I think I might try OPKs next cycle if I'm not lucky this month xx

Ginge35 · 08/01/2020 19:35

My poor DH is knackered bless him! Managed to muscle up the energy bless him but I think he was running on empty 😬
Anyway count down officially begins from today! I can't get my DH to DTD again!
He's poorly too bless him so I think I need to leave him alone! Haha.

@EffRam she's 18 months old! Time flies. She does feed a lot through the night (and the day whenever I'm home) so that's probably delaying the return of periods. I've said to myself that if I'm not pregnant by June I'll just have to night wean her.

@newmum2020 that sounds like it's far more likely to have been ovulation-related than AF then. Smile

Geauxtigers · 08/01/2020 19:24

My period isn't due until Jan 26th so it's going to be a long waiting game! Although I think I mis tracked one of my cycles on clue a few months back and it's thrown my cycle length off. So we started DTD early just to cover all eventualities. Think I will do OPK next month if there's no luck on cycle 1. Takes away the guess work then!

newmum2020 · 08/01/2020 19:04

I've come home to a poorly hubby choked with cold so I'm feeding him lemsip and shoving olbas oil sticks up his nose as I feel tonight is my last fertile chance in this window.....if i am assuming the blood yest was ovulation related 🤞I better go gently lol.

Ginge35 · 08/01/2020 17:44

That's was supposed to say 20th! 🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
Ginge35 · 08/01/2020 16:36

Thanks @EffRam so my AF should be 22 not 20 now!
You know I will be taking a PT on the 29th anyway, if not before haha!!!!
Fingers crossed DH has got the energy when I get home from work!baby dust to all ladies!
