Hi all. Thought I was start a new thread that hopefully people reply to each other on!
So I'm cycle day 26 out if a usual 32 day cycle. Due my period around the 21st April. Currently got about a week left and the temptation is killing me. I've had period like cramps for the last day or 2, not as intense and my boobs are killing me, cannot even lie down on them properly. Discharge is quite snotty like too. Any one else?

Aw fingers crossed! When are you planning testing ? I’ve seen people getting positives at 10dpo and I’m literally twitching to test.x

The weirdest thing, when I was eating my roast dinner yday, it made me gag like I couldnt swallow it. I had that with roast dinner both my previous pregnancies so I'm hoping that's a good sign. I'm guessing it's in my head though! @scottish26 I'm cd30 now so any day now I'm due on, I've had 31 to 33 day cycles so far! X

Morning! I’ve still got fluid coming from nipples but feeling normal except for the odd wave of nausea. Thinking I’m out this month too! I’m 9/10 dpo. AF due Friday or sat! How is everyone x

Morning all, how is everyone feeling? My boobs are still hurting like at the sides and nipples tender and hurting behind them. Keep getting cramps on and off and my cm is very watery one minute and then like glue the next. I keep feeling sicky aswell. I just know af is on it's way! X

Hi @pugloverr it really is a horrible time, you are so excited about trying for a baby but on average I think it takes 6 to 12 months to successfully conceive. I symptom spot like a crazy woman. I'm due any time over the next 5 days so I'm trying to hold out testing for another week! I will advice not to test until your period has been missed as you suddenly develop line eyes and are then gutted if af does arrive! X

Hey ladies can I join?

I'm new here I'm 29 (husband is 31) and this is our first month ever ttc for baby #1. Congrats on the BFPs. I'm currently 9/10 dpo. I have been having the exact same symptoms as I could a week before AF is due but I will have to wait and see. Symptoms I'm experiencing are mild cramps, tender sore boobs, bloating and being extremely thirsty. AF due on Wednesday 22nd. I never realised how worrying this would be, and the thought of not knowing is making me want to test 24/7

Hope you all have a good day and stay safe x

It really is. I dont actually know what I will do when I finally got the bfp, I dont think I will believe it x

I’ve read a lot of people on here not getting their BFP until day 13/14 sometimes later! so disheartening when you get negative though!x

I think that's high, depends how much of finger can go in I think (it sounds so wrong 🙈) so up to first knuckle is low, second knuckle high, I think x

@aimy1 - thank you. I don't usually check cervix. Definitely going to add it for next month! I can reach mine with the tip of my middle finger but no idea if that's high or low haha. How do you tell?

@MrsEmilyB you arent out completely until af arrives! I gave in and tested today and got a BFN in only like 7dpo though, but I couldnt help myself! I've got one test left so I'm going to wait until monday before doing that, I'll probably have and do it in the morning though 😂

MrsEmilyB · 17/04/2020 12:43

I had a BFN at 9/10dpo today (9 according to Femometer, 10 according to Natural Cycles) so I feel really sad. I used a FRER too 😢

DH and I DTD this morning and I had spotting after. I've also had an upset tummy last night and today. I so hoped we would catch this cycle so I feel super sad.

@scottish26 my cm is a bit like water today, cervix high and soft. I'm crossing everything!

Scottish26 · 17/04/2020 11:36

You never know might be lucky and get it first time! We have being DTD every day bar 2 since I finished last AF! So I’m hoping it’s going to work this month! Don’t want to big an age gap between first and next one! On feeling normal my last pregnancy was a dream no symptoms so feeling normal doesn’t put you out ☺️x

Littlebee1990 · 17/04/2020 11:07

I feel “normal” I don’t have high hopes for this month.. we only decided to TTC 4 days before ovulation so only DTD a handful of times.. but hey never say never! Also only come off the pill in January.

Scottish26 · 17/04/2020 10:51

@Littlebee1990 Hey!

Ok so this morning still got sensation in my boobs but my CM is really creamy and lots of it!

@mcbeck33 welcome! I dont really have any advice, were you on the pull or anything before? I stopped my pill the 8th dec and my period didnt come until the 19th jan which was unusual as every other time I've stopped the pill my period came back within days. No other advice I'm afraid, maybe stress delaying period? Xx

Ps - sorry if I’ve just jumped onto someone’s thread and talking all about me 🙈! I’m new to this site and not sure how to post new things! 😊

McBeck33 · 16/04/2020 21:09

Hi all,
I’m new on here 🙌🏻. Hoping you might be able to help. So my fiancé and I decided to see what happens since the 14th Feb. I had my normal period from the 15th feb - 23rd feb. Then I started a period again on the 28th feb until the 15th March. That was not normal at all for me and I had scans/blood tests from the docs and got the all clear.
However since that time my fiancé and I have had unprotected sex 3 times and now my app is telling me I’m ok cycle day 49 but have had no period since stopping the last freak period?!
For the last two weeks I’ve had cramps but not like period cramps more like a dull cramp and my nipples have been tingling on and off for the last two weeks too. I’ve also noticed my lower back aching (which is not like me) and a bit gassy (Sorry for all the info!). But I’ve taken pregnancy tests (about 5 of them!!) over the last week and all are negative?! They are cheap ones from Amazon but should still work right?! So basically I’ve no idea what’s going on... if my cycle is just thrown off or could I actually be pregnant and it’s too early to test?! My normal cycle is 25 days minus last month when my periods seemed to have a bit of a wobble (docs thought it could be stressed due to me taking exams in Feb). We both have teenagers between us from previous relationships so shouldn’t have any conceiving issues. I just have no idea what’s going on?! Any ideas please?? Thanks

Thanks fingers crossed xx

@Fertility1 I've seen people take quite a while to get a bfp, maybe give it another couple of days and if so doesnt come then test again. Fingers crossed for you x
