Hello.

Im currently 8-9 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due around June 5th!

Anyone in a similar place - we can support each other and talk (while avoiding driving ourselves crazy with too much symptom spotting lol) xx

@OnNaturesCourse it’s still early days for you so don’t give up! I’ve just googled the Asda cheapies I got ready for testing if needed and they’ve got terrible reviews for the same thing 🤦🏼‍♀️
@blodyn91 fingers crossed for you! I’m holding out until if/when I’m “late” too

Blodyn - hello 👋 welcome, welcome to our impatient waiting room lol. You're stronger willed than I am with not testing - well done! I'm getting positives and negatives on tests so I've no idea where I stand, super frustrating.

So AF is due on the 7th (Sunday), not bought any tests yet, and not planning to until next Monday if I need to 😄
Ive written on a few other threads, but basically wedding postponed till June 2021, so we decided to give this baby making a go now rather than wait another year. I came off the pill in April and now on my 2nd cycle of TTC, the first we just had unprotected sex no tracking, this month I've just used my garmin to track.
so yeah 1 week down 1 to go 😬 29, will be my first baby 😄

Yeh I'll try again, as I've just read the reviews for the tests online and apparently they give false positives a lot 😭

Lucy I've been getting that too, odd.

I was just driving to pick OH up from work and had about 8 pangs or twinges on my left ovary side ?! Very odd

Piccalily19 · 01/06/2020 15:32

@Calmondeck Im similar to you! We were thinking about TTC in April but decided to hold off another month but as we weren’t bothered we used the withdrawal method (not contraception... I know!) once and then I had what I swore blind was implantation spotting 4-5 days before AF, I was also 2 days late but got two BFNs then had the worlds worst period so god knows what that was! But it made me realise May we had to start! Good luck to you 😃

@OnNaturesCourse I can definitely see a faint line in the second one but I wouldn’t say I’m a pregnancy test expert yet sadly! Maybe try again tomorrow morning? 😁 exciting though!

MrsLully · 01/06/2020 15:29

@OnNaturesCourse I think I can see a line there! Very faint, yes, but a line?!!

Hello!

I'd love to join you all. My TTC journey has been a little strange so far and I'd love some impatient buddies. In March, AF was late so I took a pregnancy test (it came up positive but got my period the next day... at least, I think it was my period). We weren't TTC (had planned to start in the second half of the year for work contract reasons) but since we felt momentarily excited/disappointed, figured in April we'd start actively trying. No luck in April, hoping for a BFP on June 12th. Would love to see all of your positives in the lead up!

Piccalily19 · 01/06/2020 13:31

@OnNaturesCourse my boobs aren’t as tender today either but still a bit sore like they normally are before AF so who knows! Fingers crossed you’re wrong and this month is your month ☺️
Im due AF tomorrow... swore I’d hold out until Wednesday though to see if it showed before testing. Also for the fact we’re having garden catch ups with family tonight and tomorrow night and if I got a positive now I wouldn’t be able to keep quiet and if I got a negative I’d be soo mardy lol.

Anyone testing soon?!

KeishaV · 01/06/2020 10:17

Hey! I'm 4DPO can I join too! I swore I wasn't going to symptom spot this month but I've finding myself doing it already 😫

Morning. I am the same here, I can only write when DC is eating, or sleeping lol. I'm good today, got tests arriving later but AF like cramps are back and I feel heavy in the pelvis which tends to mean AF is on route...but its a gorgeous day so going to just keep myself distracted. How are you?

OP posts:
MrsLully · 01/06/2020 06:37

Thanks @OnNaturesCourse! Sorry about the time, by the way. If I don't write know before DD wakes up I won't get a chance later haha.
This is my second month TTC, pretty sure I had a chemical last month. We are trying for number 2, and the first one was an accident, so it's my first TTC journey...
How are you all? Smile

Well today my crampy feeling went away but came back tonight, and my boobs aren't as tender but they definitely look bigger. I'm super bloated, like I look pregnant ironically. Other than that and being ridiculously tired I have no other symptoms now.

I have a gut feeling this month isn't it for me, and my gut usually keeps me right so I'm desperately trying not to get my hopes up. (that being said I was very nearly making a trip to the shops after DC went to bed to buy some tests lol)

OP posts:
Piccalily19 · 31/05/2020 22:39

@OnNaturesCourse symptoms are so frustrating as you’re right, they could all easily just be af on her way!
My boobs hurt quite a bit and are almost itchy (can’t describe it), but they do hurt quite a bit most months anyway. I feel bloated but lockdown made me put on a few pounds In April so could just be more unwanted lbs from that and I am super tired today but that could just be the heat so who knows!
Anyone else symptom spotting like a crazy person? 😂🙈

Exactly! I think it's almost a "why is my body not doing what I want it to" kinda deal for me, I like to know everything.

OP posts:
lucyrp · 31/05/2020 21:39

@OnNaturesCourse yeah literally! My OH is like if it happens thays great if not we'll try again. Like do you not know how emotionally and physically draining this is !🙈

Lucy, yeh you do worry.. DP said to me today "I'm not stressing about it, it'll happen when it happens" and I'm sat there like easy for you to say lol.

OP posts:
lostfrequencies · 31/05/2020 19:39

I'm due around the 5th too... trying my hardest not to test early this month.

MrsLully · 31/05/2020 19:26

Hey there! I'm 2 DPO at the moment, can I join?

lucyrp · 31/05/2020 18:52

@OnNaturesCourse I think the earliest I'm going to test is next Thursday which will make me 10dpo or 16dpo so much safer and if nothing then will wait until AF. I say that now but will probs turn into a crazy POAS woman 😂😂 oh no fingers crossed for you🤞🏼 I feel like I've done everything I could this month without being overly obsessed but always worry don't you
