Came off pill:19/12
Withdrawal bleed:16/1 (28 days)
First period:17/2 (32 days)
Ovulation: 4/3 (Cycle day 17)
Hi everyone, I told myself I would play it cool with it being the first real month but I’ve been symptom spotting like mad. I’ve had quite a lot of symptoms this month. I’ve never get pain in my nipples but this month they’ve been so full and sore for the past few days, I’ve had also had back ache, hot flashes, heavy feeling in my stomach and felt as if I’ve had cold when waking. Today I’ve woke up (cd 27) and feel so sick, worried that it’s because my period is due but there’s still 6 days to go. Please say I’m not the only one symptom spotting like mad. X

I know it’s so lovely to talk to people on Mumsnet but even better when people are at a similar point in their cycle. Easy said but you’ll thank yourself if you wait and more chance of being a BFP. I feel as if I can keep myself occupied on a weekend but as soon as I’m back to work I think about it loads. Have you told any friends or family that you are trying?

Crazy how we are all so close together! It's nice to talk to people in the same boat! 😊 We are trying for our first and this is our second cycle ttc - so very early days but I'm already so impatient! Trying to persuade myself not to test again tomorrow morning 🤣

@Nora11 Your dates are also similar to @Macaz20 and I. It’s so tempting to try a test but my bf has been good at telling me to wait. Don’t I know, every little thing I’m getting excited about ha. Are you trying for your first child? What cycle are you on?

@Macaz20 That is very similar meSmile. That’s a good theory about the pill, I never got any pain in my nipples before I went on contraception so I’m totally confused. What pill were you on? Are you trying for baby number 1?

Im due on 21st! Ovulated around 3rd Mar so about 11dpo now I think... I did a test a few days ago which was negative, bit hoping I was just too early! Have also been symptom spotting like crazy 😂 but haven't had anything that really stands out tbh as much as I want to believe every twinge or weird feeling is a good sign!

Macaz20 · 14/03/2020 17:28

@1987Nic Oh I’ll join you because we are quite similar!
Came off pill jan 24th
Withdrawal 31st jan
First natural AF 20th Feb
Ovulation approx 4th March

I took a test yesterday around 9DPO because I was wondering whether to have a drink this weekend as we are away it was negative but appreciate that’s early even though I’m pretty sure AF will be with me around the 19th ☺️ Trying not to symptom spot haven’t had much really besides super sore/sensitive nipples which I’ve never ever had but maybe an AF symptom my pill masked? No idea ☺️

Aw hope you get your BFP. How old are your children? I’m 32 and trying for my first. Smile

@1987nic no I'm not, I'm trying for my 3rd! The first 2 were easy though until the birth. I had complications with my second one but I'm worried that there may be issues with me now because of them complications. You?

@MummyT13 Thanks Smile, I really didn’t think I would be so obsessed ha. I’ve bought a clear blue early detection test to try next week. Are you trying for your first child?

@1987nic - every woman that's TTC symptom spots so you're not alone 😉 give it a couple of days and test using a CB or FRER. You'll soon be a pee on a stick addict like me! But I'm 15 months into TTC now
