@Sallyjo27 i know what u mean, as i knew by now aswell in my first pregnancy for all the same reasons and although im not boiling hot in bed like i was last time my temps are gradually increasing, I also had Implantation bleed at this stage in my last pregnancy but havnt had that yet... so i just knew last time but until AF arrives iv still got hope 🙏 xx

Sallyjo27 · 19/05/2020 12:58

@Hayleylou89 I haven’t Temped this month 😩 wish I had now. I remember when I was last PG in the nights I’d be boiling not feeling that way now. I knew from very early on last time and just don’t have that feeling now x

Sallyjo27 · 19/05/2020 12:56

@2020wish I know it is very early and I don’t know what I expected at 7dpo. I told my self I wouldn’t test early this month 😂😂😂 I feel I’m out already x

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 12:56

How r u temps looking are they increasing? X x every pregnancy is different so u might not feel anything especially so early on. Xx

Sallyjo27 · 19/05/2020 12:55

@Hayleylou89 I know 😩 I just feel really crap not having any twinges or cramping or anything and I did last time I was PG so I’m not hopeful at all xx

2020wish · 19/05/2020 12:53

@sallyjo27 try not to be too disheartened. I tested today at 8dpo and feel the same but logically I know it’s too early. I’m swinging back and forth of feeling pregnancy symptoms then af symptoms lol I don’t know how many more tww I can do haha

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 12:48

@Sallyjo27 7 dpo is wayy to way for anything to show! ... we are meant to test together.. im 7dpo too x dnt be down about it as still a week to go 🙏 xx

Sallyjo27 · 19/05/2020 12:22

@Quail15 lovely news! congratulations 🎉

Hi ladies have been having some time away from my phone for a while as I end up googling too much 🙄
Currently 7dpo and stupidly did a test this morning which of course was a BFN. Don’t know why I thought it would be a good idea. Last time, I actually felt pregnant I think I was 9/10dpo (didn’t test until 12dpo) I just knew. This month I don’t. I just feel really sad now. All that sex for nothing 😂 just want AF to come and get back to it.

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 10:39

Fingers crossed for u too! 😘 @JoandLily xx

JoandLily · 19/05/2020 10:35

@Hayleylou89 thank you, I've got a triple pack of clearblue hopefully coming in today's post so think I'm just gonna hold out till tomorrow or Thursday and hope and pray af doesn't get me 🤞🙏

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 10:17

@VP91 we were starting the smep style of dtd but because my cycles are so long i decided id start a week before ovulation was predicted but then 2 days after starting it we got a suprise peak so that went out the window and we dtd 3 days in a row then 🤦🏽‍♀️ glad we managed it though it really does put u in good spirits for the tww :) x

VP91x · 19/05/2020 09:59

@Hayleylou89 I'm not sure, I think maybe. I literally haven't told my partner about SMEP or the pre-seed or the cup 😂 he figured out it was every other day for DTD. He sees I do the sticks etc. Told him I got my peak, mainly because I got so excited, haha. Luckily, I haven't had him not be able to finish etc. I hope doesn't feel under pressure though. He does say like, oh I don't even want to know what you're up to 😂. He just lets me get on with the planning side of it I suppose. Xx

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 09:49

@VP91x do u think u would do i again like that? ... I literally couldnt... my dh wasnt even pressured this cycle cos i learnt from last cycle being so regimented didnt work...i think the fact that i ovulated 5 days earlier than planned actually helped with the spontaneity a bit as we didnt expect it but he would struggle with all that dtd, i just have to hold of until im in my fertile window and dtd a few times through the month randomly when we feel like so its not like im using him for his swimmers haha x

@JoandLily We all know our own bodies and tbh im getting little pains here and there and stuff that could be in my head but until shes here you still have a chance cnt u get an frer? ... for me id rather know yes or no rather than tourture myseld and some ppl want to just wait for af ... everyone is different though xx

Renna · 19/05/2020 09:47

@hayleylou89 .. Yeah AF could be due in 2 days time on Thursday ... I may get an indication tomorrow though if shes coming because the same CD last month I checked CM and there was the usual browny red tinge indicating AF on her way so I'll be checking that tomorrow see if I see any.. femometer app says AF due Friday but I think is she shows itll be Thursday as that's same cycle day as last month . I'll probs test Friday if no AF Thursday xxx so you'll probs be testing before me with your ICs lol xx just dont feel confident this time but no reason not to .... so trying to keep positive vibes going 🙏 🤞🌈 xxx

VP91x · 19/05/2020 09:42

@Hayleylou89 😂😂 yeah, it has been never ending. I'll be gutted if it hasn't worked.

Not too long to test for you hun! ❤️

@Hayleylou89 I've had sore boobs for about 3 days which I don't usually get before af and some cramps which don't feel like my usual cramps but I'm now thinking I'm making this is up in my head 😥 I usually gain a couple of pounds in the few days leading up to it but I haven't this month 🤷 keeping my fingers crossed but do feel a bit deflated now x

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 09:38

Oh and TMI girls but its still all spongy in there 🤷🏽‍♀️ xx

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 09:35

@JoandLily some people dnt even implant until 12 dpo so ur still in with a chance... have u had any af or pg symtoms like u usually do?? X 🙏🌈

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 09:33

@Quail15 congratulations!! Lovely strong lines!!

peonyrose87 · 19/05/2020 09:01

@quail15 those are beautiful lines!! Congratulations 🥰

VP91x · 19/05/2020 08:50

@Isittimeforbubblesyet yeah you just want that confirmation that you have Ov'd

Ah, please don't be upset 8DPO is so so early especially with a IC as we all know. Wait until 12DPO and use a FRER ❤️ your temps are nice too!

@SmileyT I have attached my graph, I'm assuming I will get my temp rise tomorrow hopefully! Xx

@Quail15 huge congratulations!! @2020wish ive got a clearblue getting delivered today hopefully so I'll test again tomorrow If af doesn't arrive 🤞🤞 good luck ladies

SmileyT · 19/05/2020 08:28

Morning...

@2020wish yeah 8dpo is definitely early id wait a couple days at least and then test again and i always record my temps then you can see the pattern but can always mark it as abnormal. I find it helped to focus on nutrition as a distraction during the TWW and even more motivated to eat well if I know it's not just for me x

@Hayleylou89 just remember that you carried over half way through your pregnancy working out 5 times a week so I'm sure light exercise won't hurt you, especially as you'll be monitored more closely in your next pregnancy, really hoping this is your month 🤞

@VP91x I wouldn't worry about how long the lh stays peak it's just the timing of the first surge that's important I think, mine stay high for 4/5 days but ovulate day after first peak, what does your temp graph look like?

@mumoftwobeauts that could be an IB they say that people often have unexplained spotting between 6-12dpo the cycles that they fall so hoping that's what it is for you x

@JoandLily sorry it was negative this morning, if AF doesn't arrive do another test on Thursday it may just be a late implantation x

@Quail15 amazing strong lines, sending you lots of love and wishing you a healthy 9 months x
