Hi all,

I joined a similar thread last month and found it really supportive. It’d be great to hear from others.

We’ve been trying for number 2 for two years now and each month gets more emotionally difficult. Xx

@SewingAddict419 ooh good luck!!

SewingAddict419 · 12/05/2020 19:32

@Skyla01 I will in the morning

lucymagoo · 12/05/2020 18:22

@TTCgee I'm waiting for AF with BFNs, it's agonising waiting for something to happen with your body isn't it. I think most of us had BFNs this cycle so good to have people to carry on the thread with

TTCgee · 12/05/2020 18:17

Good luck everyone who's testing in the next few days!

Is anyone starting a new cycle? Xxx

vintagemoo · 12/05/2020 17:49

@Bailey93 Yes, so much easier said than done isn't it. I've now got super sore breasts and nipples, and don't remember having this with AF, but maybe I just never thought much of it? Ah?!!

Hope you are taking a break x

Skyla01 · 12/05/2020 17:39

@SewingAddict419 have you taken a test?
@mrsmumsy00 good luck for Thursday! You should get a clear result on a frer by then.

SmileyT · 12/05/2020 17:18

@Sussexbysea @Skyla01 I'm only in my first month of really taking notice of what happens in the 4th week of my cycle but having read how people know AF is coming for a week ahead of time I thought I'd have the same when I was looking but absolutely nada, no fun for symptom spotting.

@BbyBx2 ahh you would be so lucky to have sex once in fertile period and get pg, you need to teach us your tricks 😂 xx

@CaramelTart23 I felt more emotional after ovulation but nothing now - I'm still working full time at my office so definitely feel more knackered at home at the weekend but no time really during the week, although I am sleeping quite soundly which is unusual 🤷🏾‍♀️

@PapercraftNinja how many days post ov are you? Symptoms sounds promising 🙏

@mrsmumsy00 fingers crossed for you on Thursday?

kim160790 · 12/05/2020 16:52

@mrsmumsy00 don't count yourself out just yet I had very dry CM this month non existent and thought yep that's me out..it turned out to be a sign for me! Good luck 😊

Twinkletoes85 · 12/05/2020 16:37

@CaramelTart23

I was overly emotional from maybe CD20

CD25 I had cramping, really felt af was due, cried all morning.
CD 27/28 my knees started aching which spread to hips and ankles with the odd sharp pain in my thighs.
I’m now CD33 negative test yesterday, still no af. I’m a bit irritable and my boobs have been a bit sore the last couple of days. Since cd 25 I’ve had mild cramping on and off and wetness like af has started. I also had an upset stomach for a couple of days. I’m so confused

mrsmumsy00 · 12/05/2020 16:20

Hi ladies sorry i haven't been to active feeling a bit sorry for myself! i think i'm roughly 11DPO today and due AF in 4 days, i've got some FRER delivering tomorrow so will be testing Thursday around 13DPO. Hoping based on symptoms i implanted around Sundayish? still getting bfns on clearblues at the moment, thinking i might be our for this month as noticed my cm is quite dry :( however i have started getting sore boobs today which never happens. Just trying to find some hope now . sticky baby dust to you all❤️

Welcome to all the newbies on the group!!

I'm 6-7dpo. I have promised myself no symptom spotting this month. I wrote down all of my "symptoms" last month so if they happened this month I would know it wasn't actually anything unusual. It has helped me not overthink every single feeling.

I'm not too worried about seeing no lines so I will probably start testing around 11dpo so towards the end of the week.

CaramelTart23 · 12/05/2020 15:49

@PapercraftNinja heyyy welcome to the May Bus x

Of course! Baring in mind every ovulation, fertilisation, pregnancy is different.

I too am experiencing new symptoms which I haven't in my last pregnancy.

It's just a matter of you being in tune with your body and routine as no two pregnancies are the same.

All I can say is; put your health first, rest and keep yourself distracted until Saturday!

I should be testing by Sunday hopefully

Baby dust to you and your journey x

SewingAddict419 · 12/05/2020 15:46

Been having some serious strangeness over here... I thought AF was due Monday but never showed even now, and I've had light pre-AF cramps since Sunday afternoon with white/yellow opaque discharge. Anyone else have this??

chillichutneysarnie · 12/05/2020 15:46

@CaramelTart23 very good idea, I've been peeing on tons of ICs even though I said I wouldn't. I got really pissed off the other day as they looked like evaps but today I actually got a squinty something within the 10mins.. no colour though and it eventually disappeared. So I've got 2 FRER arriving from Amazon any moment, question is will I be able to wait until the morning?! (Spoiler alert probably not)

@papercraft sorry I can't tag you for some reason but your symptoms sound exciting! Well as exciting as throwing up can be!

CaramelTart23 · 12/05/2020 15:43

@BbyBx2 oh lorddd, it drives me insane! The worst part is planning a productive day before hand... only to be slapped with this urge to sleep 😞

PapercraftNinja · 12/05/2020 15:40

Hi please can I join?

Due to test on Saturday but I’ve had really sore boobs and have actually been sick today! Is that possible if the TWW isn’t even up yet? TTC #2...

CaramelTart23 · 12/05/2020 15:38

@chillichutneysarnie according to Flo app AF is due 17th/18th

I've asked my husband to hide all the preg tests as I have this urge to POAS and for no good reason 😩

How about yourself? x

BbyBx2 · 12/05/2020 15:31

@CaramelTart23

Tieredness yes, wake up feeling really energetic then it just hits me also cramps too on and off.

chillichutneysarnie · 12/05/2020 15:28

@CaramelTart23 definitely yes to emotional! Only you know your own body and when something's up. When are you going to test?

CaramelTart23 · 12/05/2020 15:07

Ladies, I'll be posting the obvious symptoms daily until AF or BFP. Thought it would be interesting to see what you girls are experiencing and if any of my symptoms is relatable?
Please feel free to post yours if it helps!

I'm currently 7dpo and have had a positive ovulation test this cycle #5

  1. feeling nauseous every movement I make.
  2. still experiencing cramps on left side
  3. burnt wood like smell in my mouth- don't know what that's about??
  4. FMU smells metallic and getting more frequent which is annoying when I'm not getting much sleep anyway
  5. pit of my chest feels heavy
  6. constantly feeling tired
  7. breasts feel tingly and weigh a ton
  8. emotional wreck- crying over who got more duvet last night lol
  9. taste buds have changed slightly; coffee has a burnt after taste which is unusual as I am a coffee lover.
  10. Starting to appreciate sea food and fish overall- looking at meat and chicken makes me sick 🤢 (first pregnancy I had cravings for fish around this time)
lucymagoo · 12/05/2020 14:31

I'm 13dpo today and have no tests left 😂 hoping AF turns up soon so we can crack on with cycle 2

BbyBx2 · 12/05/2020 13:49

AF due on the 18th so Sunday will be 2 days before.

Look forward to reading more of everyone’s stories and hope to post back in a few days with results.

Good luck to everyone testing in the next few days!

Baby dust to you all! ✨

Sussexbysea · 12/05/2020 13:42

@BbyBx2 welcome! Lots of us on here seem to testing about a day or two before AF is due.

I’ve had far too many disappointing tests so I’ll be waiting until I’m ‘late’ this month

BbyBx2 · 12/05/2020 13:37

Hi guys!!

Love reading your stories!!

So here goes mine 🙈

Currently not trying to conceive as already have to beautiful boys. I do keep track of my periods and things just so I know everything’s running smoothly. Me and DH ended up DTD in my fertile period🙈 I ovulated according to the app on the 4th May. So currently 8dpo. I’ve been having cramps in tummy on and off for the past few day’s. Going to test the weekend I think? Would you test then? Or leave it a few more days?

Thankyou in advance Smile
