Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

Caramel x

Cycle #6
CD22

@Mayhammonkey congratulations! 🥳

@Greyslove I know the feeling! My cycles fluctuated for so long, it makes it so hard to know when to test. I'm reeeally going to try hold out until 10DPO... omg Tuesday seems so far away 😱

BronzeSilverGold13 · 11/06/2020 20:31

@CaramelTart23 honestly I'm feeling so strange at the moment, ever since I started my first period at 11( tmi sorry) I've been extremely heavy like clots and all but it's always been on AF day and 5days after never during cycle but I had a bit of "spotting". I phrase it like that as it was more like coloured wee( it wasn't but it was just an organgy tissue) but it was dead on 6DPO which I googled and found out is roughly when implantation can occur .

I'm hoping they're all signs and I'm not imagining them haha.

Last month o could have sworn I was pregnant as I had all the symptoms but I felt fine otherwise. This month I feel different and I don't really know why!

Every woman is different but it may well give some indication. I've not dared to YouTube anything as I know I'll start to overthink everything haha

Btw crochet isn't that hard to learn I highly suggest it as it's almost like colouring in... once you get the hang of it you can zone out a bit haha

I hope the weather improves for you to be able to sit out in the garden soon.
I'm not consuming anything that I would normally eat, DP got a takeaway last night and tonight as I really didn't fancy cooking when everything smells awful... i didn't fancy anything last night but tonight I thought I'd treat myself to a cheesy garlic bread... well I had 3 slices and just left it, it didn't taste right to me but DP loved it.

CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 19:59

@BronzeSilverGold13 I'm so with you on the weird symptoms. Everything I'm experiencing is not like my usual AF symptoms 😩 I'm like you where I get those a day before.. or sometimes literally on the day with no warning!

It's looking hopeful and positive and I can't wait to hear more of your updates as you are a day ahead of me so I can may be use you as my guide?

Of course no two women or cycles are the same but it does bring me some comfort. It's so much better than giving myself a head trauma trying to google every little thing or watch YouTube videos over and over again ughgh 😩

Haha I've always wanted to learn how to crochet... maybe I can crochet myself a huge stress ball 😂

It's nice basking in the garden, just me and nature ☺️ I have a hugeee apple tree (no fruits yet) that I sit by and sketch and it's the best feeling in the world 🥰

Ughg I am a lover of all things chocolate!! But hasn't really been my first thing to pick when I'm shopping these days.. come to think of it I'm not consuming as much coffee as I would do either?

I guess we just have to take each day as it comes and hope this cycle is ours 😃 x

Muffin0107 · 11/06/2020 19:47

@CaramelTart23 thanks. I’ve got some lights cramps and have been quite tired but for some reason I just don’t feel that hopeful this month even though we bd a lot this month! We’ll see, talking about it on here helps so I’m hoping we all get some good news this cycle xx

BronzeSilverGold13 · 11/06/2020 19:41

@CaramelTart23 thank you, I know 9DPO is still very early but it was so disappointing yesterday I don't know when to test again, part of me wants to wait for Tuesday to see if AF arrives and part of me wants to test every day until then haha. I have some cheap poundland strip tests so in theory I could test everyday haha.

I've just been learning to crochet so I'm focusing on that, I'm making a bunny rabbit for my friends birthday next week.

I know I'm not nervous about anything. I have a feeling it's a weird symptom as I really don't want to eat anything and certain smells make me feel even worse. I'm used to a nervous feeling as I work in the entertainment industry and when I'm nervous I usually want to eat every thing in sight especially chocolate, but I don't even fancy that at the moment. I've also had wicked back ache since 3DPO which I don't usually get with AF and if I do it's not until the day of AF.

Hopefully all good signs but I'm only one cycle 2 so won't be too hard on myself.

I wish I was more into the garden but I'm allergic to some plants so it's best I don't bother with that and leave DP to tend to the garden. I must admit I'm missing my friends and family.

Thank you for messaging me back it's nice to know there's some lovely people on here! 😊

CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 19:40

@Muffin0107 definitely is a rollercoaster! That's one way to put it 😩

Really sorry about your MC 😞... stay with us, we're all in this ride together x

🙏🙏 praying for you and wish you all the luck, it will be great to see BFPs over the next days and weeks x

I should be 11dpo on 14th but I think if I can hold it together I should be testing a day after you 🙈🙈🙈

How are you feeling? X

OP posts:
Muffin0107 · 11/06/2020 19:35

Hi, it’s reassuring to have others understand this rollercoaster!
Cycle - 7 (1 miscarriage)
AF due on 14th June
I was trying to stay calm this cycle so I’m planning to not test until after the 14th!

Mayhammonkey · 11/06/2020 19:34

@2020mission fingers crossed when you do test! Don’t be disheartened though if it a little early I was having quite strong symptoms.

@bluebubbles12 thank you ☺️ hoping to see lots more BFP on this thread soon!

CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 19:29

9dpo* @BronzeSilverGold13

OP posts:
CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 19:28

@BronzeSilverGold13 Hello lovely! I know it's frustrating and annoying when you hear 'try not to stress or just relax' but it's absolutely crucial for your body to feel the calmness around you, it makes implantation a lot easier a quicker x

Try a warm bubble bath (not piping hot.. for obvious reasons) or pick up a craft that you can put your energy into?

I found myself randomly gardening with my mother in law and I must say it's given me a new focus. It's hard during a time like this when we can't even go out to eat or go over to our friends/family without the added paranoia 😩

But finding a new focus can really help your body work and let nature do its thing!

6 dpo is veryyyyy early so I wouldn't worry at all!

But if you can't hold back on testing I'd say wait for fmu so that way you can chart up and analyse as the days go by x

OP posts:
CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 19:21

Yayyyyy I'm so so soooo happy to see so many of you ladies on this thread. It honestly keeps my day going, reading your experiences and the fact that we can all relate to each other 😊

Big hello to all the joiners, I hope you know that it is perfectly OK to share/rant as you like. It's so much better than keeping it bottled up x

@NatJayne87 good luck with ovulation, I practically BD'ed every day since I came off AF but only recently put a pause as it's just so exhausting! Just remember to have fun and go with the flow 😄

@GreysLove Hello my darling, I felt the same with my last cycle... unexpectedly had a longer cycle and it did kinda get my hopes up. You are super earlyyy and at 7dpo I had no symptoms whatsoever!! It's great that you are experiencing something!

Hoping to see your journey on here so keep us updated x

OP posts:
BronzeSilverGold13 · 11/06/2020 19:08

Hello ladies, hope it's alright to join

Cycle #2(although only the 1st proper one since implant was taken out)

CD#22
9DPO
TTC#1
AF due 16th

Had what I think is spotting on 6DPO(sorry tmi)
I'm trying not to symptom spot but I can't help it! Really want to POAS again but don't want to be disappointed. I did one yesterday and it was a BFN.
I'm feeling very sick right now but like anxiety/nerves sick but have nothing to be anxious or nervous about!
We've not told anyone IRL that we're trying as I didn't want loads of questions! So this site is my only relief!

GreysLove · 11/06/2020 19:07

Hey ladies!

I have come over from another "AF due 15th thread" and I notice there's a few others that have moved to this thread - hi again!

TTC #1
Cycle #7 (#3 with OPK's - let my cycle settle post pill)
CD 25 with AF due Sat 20th
6/7dpo
(POAS this morning - BFN unsurprisingly so not feeling down)

It's so frustrating when your cycle changes unexpectedly, according to app AF due 20th, but only after an extra long cycle last month - 36 days - which was super frustrating after I thought my cycle had settled on 32 days after coming off the pill in Nov 2019. This month I wasn't sure when to start the OPK's, then ran out just as it was looking high, but maybe not quite peak so my guesstimate is that I'm currently around 7dpo.

My boobs, but in particular my right one has been very sore and achy since yesterday - possibly a sign as that's not normal for me? Also had to go for a nap this afternoon I was soo tired - that's one positive to working from home - lunch hour naps!

I only have one cheap test left, so I have ordered cb triple check and fr early check on amazon to arrive tomorrow - going to try really hard to hold off taking them for another week - 18th is my goal.

Sorry for the long first post, feels good to talk to others TTC. My best friend is 22 weeks with bby2, and sis-in-law is being induced today - excited for them but i'm sure my TTC (trying to conceive) chat will be boring lol.

Positive vibes to you all!!

NatJayne87 · 11/06/2020 19:04

Im joining although a little prematurely, im due to ovulate on Saturday so BDing every other night currently, AF will be due 28th June x

bluebubbles12 · 11/06/2020 19:04

Sorry @mayhammonkey, I completely forgot to congratulate you! Congratulations!!

Thank you @CaramelTart23, same to you! No symptoms for me yet, I'm really hoping for something very sudden and obvious to give me an inkling 😂 doubt that will happen though, that would be too easy! If I really had to think about it though, I had a weird feeling behind my belly button last night, but that's probably me overthinking things 🤷🏼‍♀️ next week needs to hurry up!

CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 18:54

Helloooo 😊 @bluebubbles12 thank you for the message!

Keep us posted on your symptoms, thoughts and test date etc. We'd love to hear your experience this cycle!

Baby dust to you and hope that this cycle brings you a BFP 🙏

LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 18:52

2020mission - thats why I didnt want to join because no one knows we are ttc. Love the idea of a group though like messager group message or something similar that family/ friends can't see

2020mission · 11/06/2020 18:51

@Mayhammonkey congrats 🎉 you've also made me feel more confident about planning to test at 10 DPO (Monday)!

CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 18:51

@2020mission haha I was just thinking the same thing 🙈

OP posts:
2020mission · 11/06/2020 18:46

About the Facebook group... I love the idea but will Facebook friends be able to see that we're in the group? I wouldn't want any pregnancy revealed to all of Facebook straight away 😂

CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 18:45

@bumphope2020 heyyy ☺️ welcome!
Don't be disheartened! As 8dpo is extremely early for those who are implanting late.. it then takes a few more days for hcg to be present on tests.

I am also 8dpo currently with no pregnancy symptoms until this morning I had a cramp that woke me up from my sleep 😩 I think I should be implanting by tomorrow or the next day (hopefully!)

OP posts:
bluebubbles12 · 11/06/2020 18:36

Hello all! I'm also on a similar thread, but I thought I'd say hello on this one too as I'd love to see as many BFPs as possible! A bit about me:

TTC #1
Cycle #5 (but this is my second properly tracking with OPKs)
CD 24 with AF due on Wednesday 17th
5 DPO

Looking forward to following your journeys 😊

LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 18:12

@bumphope2020 - that is the reason I don't have any tests in my house because I would be too tempted to test. Do you have any 'symptoms'

bumphope2020 · 11/06/2020 18:07

Hi

I'd like to join.

ttc #1
Cycle 8
8dpo

Already caved and took a test even though I know it's way too early. Obviously BFN!

fafi · 11/06/2020 17:35

After looking for ages I found a more well established Facebook group! Sorry ladies.

www.facebook.com/groups/3049824821774670/

Best of luck to you all xx
