Would would like to join me in this dreaded wait?!

I am officially 1dpo 😁
I am very happy with this because in the 2 years of is TTC I have ovulated about 5 times this being the 6th!

I have sore nipples and tender boobs already 😫

I am not getting my hopes up of getting pregnant but fingers crossed anyway!🤞🏻

7dpo today, woke up early hours with a sharp pain in one nipple like a needle was being poked through it! Trying not to think too much about it!

Blissywiss · 31/05/2020 07:22

I had clear CM about 2 days ago. Gone now though. Seemed a little odd to me. My nipples are still majorly sensitive. I don't think this is normal for this sort of time of the month but then again I could just be trying to convince myself of that. So hard to know lol

bluemints · 30/05/2020 21:32

@essjaycee I have had clear cm! I didnt really have any at all when ovulating which is strange ... what about you?

@bluemints I'm 6dpo today. Still got sore nipples and weird boob pain every so often.
Nothing new yet.

Bit of a TMI question but do any of you get any kind of CM after ovulating? 🤔

I'm starting to symptom spot 😂 I'm 5DPO today and have had annoying pains, like I have wind but it's around the right ovary area. Woke up with a headache this morning too. Anyone else had anything different?

Blissywiss · 30/05/2020 07:47

Oh that is really good news! At least it'll get things moving

bluemints · 30/05/2020 06:42

@essjaycee great news about DP being able to do his test soon!

@Blissywiss Thank you lovely.

5dpo and I had weird boob pain earlier in my left boob when I wasn't even thinking about anything! It was like a weird explosion of pins an needles with an ache inside. (If that made sense). And as I was typing this it happened in the right side! (Maybe I imagined that one).

I am trying so so hard not to symptom spot but when I keep getting weird feelings it's hard not to think about it!

@introv3rt time goes soooooo slowly! 😟

On the brighter side of life- I found out my hospitals Andrology department is re-opening on the 15th so that means my DP can re-do his Semen Analysis test and we can finally get my appointment with the gynaecologist 😁

Blissywiss · 29/05/2020 06:13

@introv3rt it does doesn't it. I was literally just thinking how slowly it is going. I know we shouldn't wish time away but right now I wish I could

introv3rt · 28/05/2020 23:14

Hey everyone, 4dpo for me, this time goes soooo slowly! It's around 7dpo I start going really crazy and convincing myself I'm pregnant 🙄

Blissywiss · 28/05/2020 19:57

Hiya girls, sorry for being absent the last couple of days. So good to read catch up on everything,

@EssJayyCee must be so hard not knowing when you are going to ovulate let's hope and pray this is your month! I'm with you on not being able to forget about everything! Pregnancy on the brain constantly 

@bluemints the wait is killing me as well. I keep debating with myself when I should first do a test or if I should just wait to see if my period turns up. So difficult to work out what to do. In my head if I do a test I will just be testing fate.

@Little11 how are you feeling?

The last couple of days. Well yesterday I began having stomach cramps and majorly sore boobs today. I'm trying to tell myself that this means nothing though. Easier said than done lol

@bluemints Yeah I got pregnant literally weeks before the appointment I was going to be prescribed Clomid to help induce ovulation. I think because I knew I was getting help I stopped thinking about it so much.

Now I don't know when it will be because DP needs to have a Semen Analysis done but he can't because the andrology department is closed because of COVID-19 :(

bluemints · 28/05/2020 15:11

Ohh sorry @introv3rt I missed you out!

@essjaycee I have everything crossed that this is your month 🤞🤞🤞 it's funny though, everyone always says it will happen when you stop trying, sounds so cliche but I got pregnant the month I stopped tracking everything 😂

@Little11 Go for it! It's good to be prepared! I think pink dye ones are more accurate and less likely to give off a false positive.

@bluemints I had two really vivid dreams when I was pregnant last time. But not had any yet!

I am okay... 4dpo today and I can't stop thinking about it all though.
I know I won't be pregnant because I have ZERO luck but I can't stop hoping at the same time!

I need to try and forget but I just can't.

I keep thinking I keep getting little cramps/twinges in my uterus area but i don't know if I'm imagining it!

How are you all @Blissywiss @introv3rt @bluemints @Little11

@essjaycee @blissywiss @little11

How are we all feeling? The wait is killing me and I'm only 3dpo 😂

bluemints · 27/05/2020 07:15

@little11 morning! I had a really strong dream last night that I was pregnant, it was so realistic and I remember waking in the night thinking "bloody hell that felt real" lol! I dreamt my mum gave birth to twins the night before I found out I was pregnant last time, but i only ovulated 2 days ago so I'm definitely not going to be having dreams about it yet 😂

So blue dye tests are more likely to show an evap line, so definitely go for a pink dye test! Superdrug first response is definitely a good one to go for, I actually ordered a pack of early pregnancy tests (10mlU/ml is what is on the description) and got faint positives when I was pregnant with my little boy, then I walked to town and got a superdrug test and that came back stronger! I was about 10dpo I think when I took the superdrug test x

Little11 · 26/05/2020 20:56

Hello all! How is everyone feeling today? I am the most impatient person ever... In an attempt to be organised though I am thinking about buying a couple of FRER online this week? What’s the deal with the pink and blue dye again? Last time with my first my GP recommended Superdrug own brand tests as she said they were the most sensitive but I can remember how sensitive exactly...

@bluemints yes it is really exciting when I actually ovulate 😁 I just wish it was more often so our chances of TTC were a bit higher!

I enjoy tracking everything. It has made me more aware of things my body is doing.

Hi @introv3rt I am 2dpo too. Fingers crossed for you! I think some people do get pain like you described so I wouldn't worry too much. x

introv3rt · 26/05/2020 15:51

Hi can I join too Smile I'm 2dpo today.
I hate this wait, been trying for first baby since I came off the pill in October, so this is the 8th month. I'm 26 Smile
I am certain I've ovulated every month as I get a pain one side for a few hours around day 14 of my cycle, this month was quite painful I had to go and lie in bed on the not sore side! Hope that's not a sign of an issue for me.
🤞🏻 for us all this month xx

bluemints · 26/05/2020 15:37

@essjaycee bless you, that must have been horrible for you. I'm glad to hear you are ovulating though, must be exciting for you when you ovulate so rarely??

I didnt track BBT with my little boy but I think after this TWW is done I will start tracking. It sounds weird but I find it really fun doing this whole TTC tracking stuff, it's obviously so gutting when you are trying for a while and getting nowhere but starting to test and track is exciting x

@bluemints Aww how cute. We are all similar ages though that's good! Whenever I speak to people on here they are either alot older or alot younger than me so this is good age range! Grin

Thank you, it was devastating. It hasn't helped much that my sister was 3 months pregnant at the time of my loss ☹ Its been so hard but I am definitely getting there now!

I am so confused with my BBT do any of you record yours? X

Hi @little11 🤗

bluemints · 26/05/2020 07:06

@essjaycee sorry to hear about miscarrying ❤ I really hope you get your baby soon!

bluemints · 26/05/2020 07:05

@essjaycee it's a boy, he is amazing 😊 I'm 27 too! Looks like I'm the baby of this thread as I turned 27 in feb haha!

@blissywiss bless you no judgement here! My SIL has had 2 abortions and she has had 2 children now as well, she fell very quickly with both! Hoping you get your baby soon ❤
