TCC testing end of Feb/beginning March?

Thanks @uisage I'm currently online looking for a new family pet 😂 I figured if we can't give DS a baby brother or sister then we should get him a pet 🤦🏼‍♀️

@3isthemagic,I'm glad that you're still going after 3 years. I wish that we could just DTD and then forget about it, but the human mind doesn't work that way! Fingers crossed for you this month.

@Deb86 Men are fragile little creatures, but I'm sure you've learnt the lesson for this month. I only tell DH that it's an important day if he's being resistant to my advances (mostly it just takes getting naked).

@peyton14 Welcome and good luck!

Hi ladies can I join?
First cycle TTC without copper IUD. Also first time ever using opks.
Currently 3dpo.

#paintfairy I know what you mean about symptoms. I had a few days of light spotting last month about 10 dpo. Was exactly what happened with my first baby, I was convinced and waited 5 days or so before testing then bfn!! Totally messes with your head...

Ha ha. Agreed. Every month I've been sure. In fact- last month I was snuffly like getting a cold (didn't), terrible metalic taste, even started not wanting tea (love tea!) because it tasted vile. Was quite hot, massive boobs, cramping with bleeding which I've never ever had before, and felt off. Yet nope. I think our bodies trick us.

I've had stomach ache this evening. I think more bowel as opposed to period type but sometimes I get confused. Feel a bit queasy too. But I often get digestive upsets up and down with hormones. And I'm shattered from not sleeping. Likely when AF turns up I'll be like- another set of bizarre symptoms that amounted to nothing! 🙄

Oh, I want to join this too used the cb advanced test this month and had flashing smiley Thurs the static yesterday. Did the deed Wednesday and yesterday so feel like I'm in with a good chance. Really trying not to go on about it too much to OH. He had stage fright Thurs evening and yesterday morning when we tried because I told him how important it was think we only managed yesterday afternoon because I said don't worry if it doesn't happen!! So frustrating, if I had my way it would be 3 times a day at the moment!! Af due around the 8th so be nice to obsess with ye

@uisage @paintfairy after 3 years of TTC I'm trying not to outwardly get my hopes up symptom spotting

@paintfairy It could be a sign! I was absolutely freezing for the first trimester with DS, I could never get warm.

@3isthemagic That sounds promising! Although I was there last month, convinced my boobs were enormous and then AF showed up anyway.

@gingerglitter4ever I'm a cold person too. Only time I'm ever warm is in my LP. Especially in the evenings. So freezing is odd.
@3isthemagic that's a good sign?

My boobs are out of control! They've grown 2 or 3 cup sizes today - my left one in particular is hanging out of my bra!!! The cramps I had this morning which I thought were AF have passed as well so maybe I'm still in the game for another day anyway!

@paintfairy I feel you, although mine have been up and down, sometimes I’m freezing and other times I get the sweats because I’m so hot (I’m generally a cold person, so this is really odd for me... )

Also just to add to this rollercoaster DH think I’m crazy haha

Anyway I was so out of it yesterday, had such a stiff neck, headache, went to bed at 9:30 ... I felt high and totally out of my mind
Tempted to test tomorrow as AF is due Monday, should I hold off until Monday? I can’t decide 😩

One thing I am finding odd. I'm usually really hot in my luteal phase. This is also a sign of pregnancy. Yet I'm freezing and can't get warm? (Apart from in the middle of the night when I'm boiling).

@gingerglitter4ever it’s trying to work out if symptoms are normal AF or something else - why must they be the same lol?! Some of yours sound quite promising though, hopefully AF doesn’t show!

I had stopped my pill in September after 9ish years. that’s the other battle - getting to know your own body off of contraception.

@3isthemagic awww you’re still super early so don’t completely rule yourself out yet! Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. You & @paintfairy boob pain could be a good sign?! X

I don’t have any particular symptoms as such now, only thing is that my cervical mucus hasn’t dried up, and I’ve vomited 3 times in the last week however it’s far too early for that to be a sign. Of course it makes far more sense for me to consider sickness to be pregnancy related as opposed to a bug 😂😂

@uisage that made me laugh - typical man comment!!

@CocoW so hard to not symptom spot isn’t it?

Hopefully some BFPs in the coming week for us ❤️🤞🏼

Conversation with DH: 'I think you're pregnant because you've been extra tired and cranky this week'. Thanks.

8 days till I'm due here. A lot of early pregnancy symptoms are AF symptoms, don't assume you're out till she's here.

@3isthemagic yeah mine normally feel full and heavy too. Odd.

@paintfairy yes! Usually they are so sore round the sides & heavy I have to lift them out of my bra at the end of the day. This cycle I've had nothing except the sore nipples & they're a bit swollen (I think) 😂

@3isthemagic same boob wise. They hurt on the ends too, rather than round the side like normal? But likely means nothing. Lol.

@A08x how are you getting on? I caved & tested this morning but was BFN, only 9DPO but feel tugging & cramping so think I'm out & AF is on its way! I thought this might've been my month as I've had no sore boobs which I usually do really bad before AF but instead have had sore/tingly nips but I think I'm clutching at straws! My temp has started to rise but I'm not sure what that means, if anything 🤷🏼‍♀️

@A08x I didn’t really have anything between 1-6 DPO, had some light cramping on 7-8 DPO then things got a bit weird and unusual for me.. this week 9-11 DPO I’ve had headaches everyday that come and go in waves, today and yesterday I’ve had a really stiff neck, some moments I smell way too much (urine and people’s breath in the elevator etc ), super snappy towards DH (not an uncommon pre-AF symptom though & just really weird appetite, wanting everything but can’t decide, being hungry and not having an appetite, it’s all over the charts..

I’m due AF on Monday according to Fertility Friend which gave me that estimation based on my BBT chart this month. I’ve basically had watery cm since ovulation sometimes to the point where I feel like i need a panty liner haha

I just don’t know, I took my Mirena out in November after having that as my BC for 7 years so I also don’t really feel like I know my body yet/anymore so I could be reading everything wrong.. the thing I will say that is definitely out of the ordinary this month is I have ZERO breast sensitivity and if the last few months have been any indication for what’s “normal” then this is really weird

I had some weird pains today but it might have been bowel related. Couldn't decide. On and off for half an hour. 9 dpo. Nothing else to write home about.

@A08x I hate the symptom spotting too! I'm terrible for it, every little twinge has me convinced I'm pregnant. Last time, my symptoms were itchy boobs and peeing like a carthorse. I'm due a week on Sunday, I long time to wait yet.

@gingerglitter4ever definitely so hard to resist but better that than disappointment too early on!
I was getting funny twinges on wednesday when I was 6DPO but I think that would be too early for anything to be happening. I’ve been sick a few times but again think far too early for that to be a symptom of anything! Also still got lots of cervical mucus (sorry TMI), that’s about the only symptom suggestive of early pregnancy.
I always read people getting sore boobs but I’ve never experienced that even with AF, I feel like a looney I trying giving my boob a nudge to see if any pain but nada! 😂

This was my first month using pre-seed so hoping it’s helped 🤞🏼

What symptoms have you had? X

@A08x oh great! We can try to resist together! Have you had a lot of symptoms?

@A08x AF due Sun/Mon (I have a 26 day cycle & only a 10 day luteal phase - hoping they reflexology will help that)
