Just wondering if there's anybody else out there that's due their AF around the same time as me. I definitely ovulated last Tuesday as I've been using the Clearblue ovulation digital test, & I also felt pretty sharp pain coming from my left ovary that day. I'm now 5DPO & yesterday & today I've been getting a dull achiness on & off on my left side. If there is anyone that's around the same time as me, I just thought we could keep each other updated on our symptoms☺️ AF not due for another 10 days so I hope it's not coming early 🤞🏻

Sounds promising @Bic501!! Please let us know if you do go on to get a BFP Star

Ashworth90 · 22/04/2020 06:20

@Babytobe I am sorry to hear about your losses and I wish you so much luck and baby dust! I think you have definitely put yourself more ahead by making the lifestyle changes. Fingers crossed for you!

Well, I am very much trying not to get my hopes up too much. Been reading about Triphasic BBT charts where a woman is supposedly three times more likely to be pregnant if she has three temperature rises since ovulation. Looking at my chart, I can quite clearly see three temp increases, but it’s my first month temping so this could be normal for me 😂 I am so impatient...

Hey, Can I join?
I'm currently 6dpo on cycle number 3 ttc #4. Due AF around 29th/30th I think.
Seemed to notice on my last few cycles I'm crampy post ov until AF shows, which is a bit annoying, not sure why it keeps happening as it certainly hasn't resulted in a BFP yet. Have noticed CM is a bit more watery this cycle tho, promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot this cycle and here I go 🙈
Baby dust to us all, lovely having testing buddies, I always feel so alone x

Babytobe · 21/04/2020 22:12

Hi girls, im new here (well, after a few months of reading threads I eventually decided to sign up!) Also @Chlo2701 @Ashworth90 @Positivity2019 @motherofdinosau @AutumnJ0y dont feel so bad girls, im grandma at 37yrs old trying for first baby!! Unfortunately we have had two losses last year and although time is not on my side, we figured taking a couple months to rest and kick start healthy lifestyle would probably be more.beneficial in the long run. (I was quite overweight then, now not as much!)

Awaiting AF on 28th April but praying the witch will not arrive. So far, I am 11DPO and have had low long twinges and sensations both ovaries, feeling spaced out, incredibly sore and huge boobs which fluctuate and i am now sleeping/ feelibng tired alot more. After 2 x BPNs at 8&9DPO (i know, way too early right! I just couldnt wait to poas again Smile Smile) though im not very hopeful for this month but as many have said : not out until AF arrives so fingers crossed for a miracle.

Going to try hold of on doing a frer until Friday but cant make any promises! Any one planning on doing a frer? Its horrible to see the BPN but always still a tiny bit of hope for a BFP. Baby dust to all you ladies FlowersStar

AutumnJ0y · 21/04/2020 21:53

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well. I haven't been on here much over the last few days as have had awful acid reflux pains. I am so bloated and gassy as well. I can't sleep lying down as that makes it worse so have been sleeping in a sitting up position. I also get so hungry but then full after a few bites!
I'm only 6DPO today so I can't even chalk these symptoms up to pregnancy ones. I've always struggled with acid reflux just before my period but never this early and never so severe!

motherofdinosau · 21/04/2020 19:59

@chlo2701 i ordered some off amazon yesterday (4=£13.71) and they are due Fri/Sat.

Ive got what can only be described as 'lightning crotch' this evening. Sharp/fast shooting pains... Seems to have settled for a minute but was a bit 'ooh what was that' just a minute ago.

Chlo2701 · 21/04/2020 19:47

I've just looked back at the msgs & @Littlebee1990 I wouldn't be too disappointed as you're the same DPO as me so I'd expect a BFN if I'm honest, so don't be too disappointed as there's still plenty of time. Maybe try again this wknd. & @Trying2b yes that completely makes sense! That's my thinking aswel so I get what you mean, might have to cave in this wknd & go on a hunt for a first response test 🙈 thinking of maybe leaving it until Sunday though. This is the 2nd night in a row where I feel absolutely shattered & just want to go to bed🙉 but apart from that I've got no other symptoms now x

Littlebee1990 · 21/04/2020 19:33

I just did a FRER and got a BFN (May be too early as AF not due until 28th) temptation got the better of me

Trying2b · 21/04/2020 19:25

Yeah FRER has always given me early results from about 7/8 DPO, but I have also had faint shadows on Internet cheapies and ClearBlue early ones too! But beware, I have also had 2 chemical pregnancies so it's not always the nicest thing to know early! Personally speaking, I'm quite an optimistic person and always think it's my month (even though clearly its not going well for me so far haha!) but I like to be let down gradually by testing early! When I see a BFN I still allow myself a little hope that its just too early show, but by the time my period is due I'm used to the idea of the BFN! Does that even make sense?? I just don't think I'd cope very well with testing on the day of AF, that's too final for me! A girl's allowed to squint for a week hahaha!! X

Chlo2701 · 21/04/2020 19:09

Let's not lose hope yet ladies, like all the threads say.... we're not out until our AF arrives🙉 @Trying2b now you've Sid that you found out 7/8 DPO it's making me want to test this wknd🙈 I say that I'm due on on Tuesday as that will be 31 days ( & I'm just going by my last cycle as it was the longest) but the 3 periods before that were 28 day cycles exactly. So really you could say I'm due anytime between Sat - Tues. I've read that if you're going to test early, the First response ones are the best, so if I do decide to test this wknd, do you know if I can but them from Asda, Tesco or Sainsbury? X

All the symptoms I had yesterday have disappeared and I'm starting to think that I'm imagining the nipple darkness!
Have a strong feeling it isn't going to happen for me this month.

Jamielee83 · 21/04/2020 16:12

I'm exactly the same Elking18- af due on Saturday, lots of headaches and sore throat but I put that down to working from home. No af pains yet, which I usually start getting the week before af. Trying not to test!

Elking18 · 21/04/2020 15:50

Hi again everyone!
Well I couldn't resist testing this morning since it is only 4 days until AF. Came back negative but trying not to lose hope! Had headaches on and off the past few days and still no normal time of the month pains. I was so convinced I was pregnant with all my symptom spotting! I have even had a runny nose and sore throat this morning which I have read can happen after implantation. (Definitely not the virus though!) Asked DH to hide the tests from me now!

Popcat120 · 21/04/2020 14:57

Afternoon everyone.
I'm stil feeling off today, heady, bit sicky, appetite gone completely. Tired (but may be cos my 18 month old being a terror at night at the moment!)
Trying not to analyse everything.

Ashworth90 · 21/04/2020 12:18

@Trying2b don’t tell me that 🙈 I’m 7dpo today and trying so hard to resist testing! Haha! Fingers crossed you get your third soon!

@Chlo2701 I read that AF symptoms are the same as early pregnancy so not out until she arrives. I so hope one of us gets a bfp this month 🙌🏻

@Infused if it is then let me know. I woke up in a hot sweat this morning too. Either that or it’s just cause it’s warmer outside at the minute. Haha!

Chlo2701 · 21/04/2020 12:05

Well ladies I just have a bad feeling my period is going to come. Due a week today, I'm about 7/8 DPO now & cycle day 23. Keep getting dull achey womb like AF is on its way. Haven't got sore boobs or nipples, & had no discharge today, gone completely dry. Couldn't keep my eyes open last night & was asleep by just gone 9. Still feel abit irriatable & narky🙈 having lots of dreams & OH said I was shouting in my sleep last night😂 keep feeling hungry. & when I woke up at 6 this morning I could of sworn I smelt someone cooking bacon sandwiches but they weren't 🤣 feel like I'm driving myself crazy🙉 I'm blaming lockdown😆

Hello! New to this thread but I'm also in the TWW. I'm 6DP0 on cycle 6 after MC at 6 weeks last month. I'm blessed to already have 2 children, but we knew we always wanted a 3rd. I'm 34 next month. First baby conceived in the blink of an eye at 27. Second baby was very much planned and took 6months and number 3 is taking its sweet time sticking! The MC completely threw us last month, having been so lucky to never experience that before, so needless to say we are a bit more cautious now. I'm a terrible POAS addict and actually found out about my last pregnancy on 7/8DPO, so I'm so tempted to test early again this week. Not entirely sure when I'm due as this month has been completely out of wack since MC, but I used Clearblue OPK and know when I peaked. Fingers crossed everyone xxxx

Infused · 21/04/2020 11:53

Morning Smile

Loads of cramping and twinges yesterday, although not so much today. woke up very hot this morning, is that a sign?! You'd think I would know having been through this before Grin

Ashworth90 · 21/04/2020 11:09

How is everyone’s symptoms today? I’m 7dpo and my BBT is increasing nicely... I am just taking the increases in temp as positive thoughts at the moment. Sore boobs and mild cramps yesterday, but other than that I’m fine today! Must resist the urge to poas on Friday...

@popcat120 no way?!?! What a coincidence lol!!!
We have been renovating and our two hirls have been top and tailing... Just moved them back into bunks and they thought it was great fun until all hours so im with you on that feeling lol!
Heres to a good night sleep tonight for us 🥂

Popcat120 · 20/04/2020 20:14

@mothertodinosau that's funny... Because I live in Bedfordshire! Lol
Fingers crossed for you!
I got horrendous nausea at 7/8 dpo last time, just felt awful.

Ill be heading to bed at soon as little one crashes.
I decided to get him used to his cot so the past 3 nights we've had horrendous screaming for an hour at bedtime before he gives In!

motherofdinosau · 20/04/2020 20:06

@Popcat120
Im with you on the icky feeling... Kids are in bed now so im chilling out with a cold lemonade and then will be heading to Bedfordshire I think (by that I mean bed... No lockdown rules being broken by travelling to actual Bedfordshire 😂😂). I am 7dpo and feel weird... Boobs hurting, felt crampy when i woke, nauseated this morning and a bit this evening. Horrendous acne 😱. But i always get acne and sore boobs in the week before af, so who knows! But the acne is reallllllly bad this month.

Chlo2701 · 20/04/2020 19:17

Hey @Popcat120 I'm not feeling too bad now, pain in the left side has calmed down loads & now just have abit of an achey womb on & off, but it's hardly noticeable, does remind me of abit like a period but nowhere near as bad. So I do wonder if it's on it's way as I am due a week tomorrow & I've not had much patience last 2days, feeling pretty narky & irritable🙈 But I have had thick creamy discharge yesterday & today. Apart from that nothing else to report. I know you're feeling abit crappy but maybe that's a good thing fingers crossed🤞🏻x

Popcat120 · 20/04/2020 18:32

How is everyone?

I'm not feeling too well tonight, I'm exhausted, crampy bloated feeling, headache a bit icky sicky.
I've abandoned my 18 month old and OH downstairs and in bed with a water bottle... Just until I have to do the dreaded bedtime!

Jamielee83 · 20/04/2020 15:45

Tww is dragging! In 36 and been ttc for 13 months- af due 25th but I'm on month 2 of clomid so all my usual symptoms are all over the place. I can't tell when/if I ovulated but I'm not having the usual cramps I get leading up to af time. It's tough to stay motivated!
