Aww @Jenz1988 sending lots of luck and warm wishes your way for your miracle 🥰

Hello to @RiverRoo and @Lb603 too 🥰 how are you guys keeping sane during the lockdown/tww? 😊

Hello, I have been lurking for around 2 weeks now and wondered if anyone had any advice. Came off cerelle in late Jan, had 29 day cycle and had withdrawal bleed. 29 days later again and had normal 5 day period. 2 weeks later had slightly heavy spotting for 3 days. Like on the fence with was it spotting or just a really really light period. At the end of those 3 days had EWCM. DTD every day for a week. Period was due anywhere between Fri 24th and yesterday and still hasn't arrived. Have been doing those one step strips and they have all been negative. Also did a CB on saturday which was negative. Temp has been rising for since 21st from 36.14 to 36.73 today. Had no CM until 23rd and it since then it has been creamy every day since. Slightly sore nipples and some tummy ache. Any ideas?

Hi everyone! I’m joining as well. I’m 12 DPO in our first cycle trying since a MMC in Feb. negative tests so far but crossing my fingers for a BFP soon. Period due Thursday!

Jenz1988 · 28/04/2020 11:09

Brilliant thank you @Lily2020
Yes will have to wait then. I guess I'll have an answer either way in two days 🤞

Lb603 · 28/04/2020 10:51

Hello! Can I join too, I'm currently around 3 dpo. Partner and I have been actively trying since December, but I came off the pill around 18 months ago and nothing yet! Hopefully this monthSmile

Lily2020 · 28/04/2020 10:47

@Jenz1988 when you write a post there should be a paper clip to attach pictures at the bottom? If you've just joined you'll have to wait 48hours I think. Got my fingers crossed for your miracle baby🤞🏽🤞🏽 🤞🏽

Hi Ladies
Newbie here
We had to have IVF to have our child who's now 4 - problems with me and DH - we got told even with ICSI we had 5-20% chance so he's an absolute miracle.
We started IVF proceedings again before Xmas and three cycles got cancelled due to my lining not being right then the 4th one cancelled because of covid
We have been trying naturally anyway - even though we have like 0.1% chance of getting caught
I've no idea when I ovulated or even if I did but app says due on tomorrow

I only had tiredness as a symptom first time then very slight nausea kicked in later on
I've felt really tired and had maybe three separate days where I've felt sicky.
I did a FRER yesterday morning. It was my second wee of the morning cause I chickened out first time but I'm sure there a faint line. This appeared within the five minutes - can I upload a pic to get your opinions? Not sure if it's an evap line

emvy · 28/04/2020 09:52

@Lily2020 I’m going to test Friday if no sign of af by then. DH is the impatient one this time though and wants me to test now! I’ve given myself Friday though and I’m just a bit stubborn so won’t give in until then 😂

@MrsLBear it’s so annoying isn’t it?! Just no way of knowing. All I can remember is feeling horrendously nauseous, sensitive to smells and off hot drinks which is totally unlike me, with my DS. I’m not having any of those but I don’t know if they were just the later symptoms at like 8+ weeks! Creamy cm sounds positive though, that’s the only non af symptom I’m having as well!

emiliet123, good luck for Sunday! I hope it’s not too much of a slog waiting for then. Lots of distractions and I hope you get a nice strong bfp then! I really hate symptom spotting but it’s just too hard not to, especially in lockdown!

emiliet123 · 28/04/2020 09:10

Hi all, thank you! 💖 we’ll keep everything crossed (except our legs, ha!) that it’ll happen soon 😊

@caty86 quarantine is making EEEEVERYTHING so much more difficult! I start back at work on Friday, AF is due Sunday so hopefully I’ll have enough going on work-wise that I’m feeling a little more distracted.

@MrsLBear my DH is ridiculously stubborn, there’s not a chance he’s gonna let me test before Sunday - even ON Sunday he’ll probably insist I wait an extra day! 😂 it’s definitely for my own good though as I’m obsessed with testing.

Hi @Sho2207, sorry for your losses - I understand feeling that you just want your family to start right now! You’ve got the plan in place, so it’s only natural to want to get there ASAP. I hope this month is the one for you 😊

@emvy hello there! Symptom spotting is so frustrating, especially as for me I don’t get sore boobs EVERY month, and with my first pregnancy I didn’t have sore boobs until week 7, and then they were insaaanely painful! But by that point I was already well aware 😂

@Lily2020 I’ve never temped before either, although if things take a little longer, it’s something I’ll be looking into. Is it supposed to tail off a little and then stay elevated above that middle line? I’m not sure 🤷🏼‍♀️ So sorry I can’t help!

MrsLBear · 28/04/2020 09:04

@Lily2020 yeah I temp too. Don't worry too much about your temp most ovulation. I think even a "good" chart doesn't indicate pregnancy. I try not to read into mine but do it more to confirm ovulation. The only thing I do get is a temp drop the day af comes. And looks like you've got a clear shift for ovulation so that's good!! I find ff app helpful for noting how I'm feeling etc too and can see a pattern now with pains etc throughout my cycle.

Oh I hate that @emvy why are pre af symptoms the same as early pg. So annoying isn't it. I had a lot of creamy cm yday (tmi sorry) but I am telling myself to get a grip and it probably means nothing.

Lily2020 · 28/04/2020 08:52

@Cloudmtb when is AF due? 😊

@emvy good luck to you! When will you test?

OP posts:
emvy · 28/04/2020 08:46

@MrsLBear, I have a few but they come and go so not particularly reassuring! I’ve had nausea, backache, increased cm, cramps and feeding my DS is really painful as my breasts are really sore. These are all AF symptoms though so I’m not holding out too much hope. I also had a streak of blood yesterday but that was literally it, just the streak once when wiping. Very bizarre!

@Lily2020 I’m sorry I haven’t temped before so I can’t offer any advice on the chart. I’m sure it’s all normal!

Cloudmtb, I hope you manage to hold off testing until AF! It’s so so hard.

Cloudmtb · 28/04/2020 08:26

Hello!

I am 4/5 days post ovulation. My app says that I ovulate the day after my static smiley but I’m not so sure. I only have a LP of 10/11 days which I hope isn’t going to cause a problem.

I read a helpful article of Ava yesterday which said that most implantation happens on day 9 so there really is no point in me testing before AF is due on! Maybe this information will stop me testing early......... HmmGrin

Good luck everyone!

Lily2020 · 28/04/2020 08:12

@MrsLBear that sounds like a very good plan 👍🏽 do you temp? My first month & honestly I'm finding it more stressful than I expected every day I'm googling whether it's normal or not 😕 this is my chart, temp been dropping last few days so I'm feeling a bit shit about it now!

Sorry for your loss @Sho2207. How long are your cycles normally? Best of luck!

Hi @emvy! What signs/symptoms have you got? When are you testing? Sorry for your 2 losses 🙁

@Lily2020 haha I love it. Well I really want to be strong this cycle. And cos I'm due the 5th and if I still feel like maybe shes not coming I will go and get a test on the 4th because I wouldn't go out the 3rd to get one cos it's a Sunday. I just don't want to have any in the house cos otherwise I will poas the minute it arrives. I have no self control. So the 4th I will be 13dpo. I mean last cycle I was poas from 8dpo. I can't be trusted with them. Do you temp?

Lily2020 · 27/04/2020 21:50

@MrsLBear i will test from 3rd onwards I think when 10dpo, I could lie & say I'm waiting till AF due but who am I kidding I just love peeing on sticks 😂 I'm my own worst enemy! Got a line on an fr last cycle 11dpo then all bfns after that! When will you be testing?

OP posts:
emvy · 27/04/2020 21:47

Hi everyone!

I’m potentially in a TWW but can’t be sure... I’m still breastfeeding my 24 month old and haven’t actually got my periods back yet! However, definite signs that things could be happening and currently Night weaning so feeling hopeful.

We stopped using protection in Feb, I tested once 4ish weeks ago and now waiting to test this weekend if AF doesn’t appear beforehand. We’re not actively TTC at the moment but I’d be lying if I wasn’t hopeful...

I’ve got a lot of symptoms of AF/pregnancy (they’re all the same so who on earth even knows?!) but I just need to talk to others who are feeling the tension like me as I’m driving myself a bit mad 🤪

Sorry to everyone who has had losses. We had 2 losses TTC DC1. Sending all the positive vibes to everyone for this month 🤞🏻

Sho2207 · 27/04/2020 21:37

Hey ladies, hope you don't mind me joining. I'm 22 and have been with my partner just over 2 years, this will be our first baby if we get the luck!
According to test strips I hit my surge a couple days ago so probably ovulated yesterday. 1dpo for me, not too sure when AF is, due to having a mmc nearly 3 weeks ago (6 weeks preg). Me and OH wasn't sure whether to wait for AF or to just try again, but we both desperately want our own family so once I stopped bleeding we started dtd pretty much every night, we've definitely covered ovulation 🤞🏼 TTC since December, conceived in February. Really hoping this is our month, I had a chemical pregnancy last year so I really don't think I can handle another miscarriage 😩.
Hope everyone gets good news this cycle ❤️

MrsLBear · 27/04/2020 21:36

Ah tell me about it @Lily2020 lock down is not helping one bit!! I'm 6dpo feeling like day 19473 though haha.

We should keep track of when everyone is testing/af is due! Is anyone going to test beforehand?

KateColx · 27/04/2020 20:35

Hi ladies 🌸

hope you don't mind me jumping in too.

Currently 4/5 DPO (two different apps 🙄) and AF is due around the 8th May. This is second cycle, but first cycle of actively TTC for baby 1.

Only a few days in and TWW already feels like it's dragging!

So sorry to hear about your loss @emiliet123 😢 fingers crossed this month is a lucky one for you 🥰 with you on trying not to get my hopes up, but I'm already in to symptom spotting 😂🙈 x

Lily2020 · 27/04/2020 20:22

4 dpo @MrsLBear and safe to say it's dragging! Lockdown & TTC is a bad combination, how about you?
