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

is it strange that I seem to be the only one that hasn't bought any tests? I'm just so convinved that AF is going to come that I won't need one?

Mich2020 · 11/06/2020 09:46

I'm 9dpo I think 🤔 af due anywhere between the 16-19th. I have a frer in the cupboard but planning on not using it until at least 12-13dpo. I've had enough of squinty line eyes and then there being a faint line and then af arrives 😥 so hard this ttc business. Good luck everyone. Will keep an eye on this thread xx

LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 07:40

I have woke up this morning with no symptoms apart from my stomach feeling really heavy, the only way I can describe it is as if I have had a big meal or AF is coming but its not due until next Tuesday

runnerttc · 11/06/2020 07:10

New day, new data 😎 Another temp rise for me but drop in RHR... Apps are saying I'm 6DPO today, no other symptoms at all so far...
How's everyone else doing?

NJ2910 · 10/06/2020 20:47

Hey @Lovebug06 seems like you have had a rough month!! Are you taking preconception tablets at all? Certain brands have all kinds of side effects when taken.

What's good is that you are in tune with your body and you know what's best!

Let's hope we get our BFPs this month, I know it's frustrating and all you want to do is just bloody know what's going on inside 😩

It's even more frustrating when you just can't seem to relax. But what I can tell you from experience is a nice warm bubble bath helps keep things calm.

The corona situation doesn't help either, I would have loved to go on a dinner date with hubby just to pass some time ughgh x

@runnerttc heyyy how are you? Haha likewise! It's the only comfort I get googling and researching... I could watch YouTube all day if I had the choice 😩

I'm also doing the same thing lol surprisingly when your in the tww the days seem to draggggg, I get excited when it starts getting dusky. It just means we're one DPO closer to the test day ☺️ which is also terrifying!! 🙈 I'm thinking to join my mother in law and get my gardening game on, hoping I can find myself a hobby besides watching YouTube videos on symptoms and testings x

Hey @Ella17393 yikesss I am still getting those twangs 😩 your body is probably getting ready for implantation which will occur soon!

Let me know how you get on in the next few days, intrigued to know what other symptoms develop for you in the next coming days x

Hiya ladies can I join,
Cycle #4
CD 24
9 dpo (estimated)
TTC #1
AF due Monday 15th
Last month I felt exhausted the week before AF, never felt like it before along with feeling sick, headache etc although nothing at all before that. But it was AF. This time Ive had an ache for a couple of days down there although I wouldn't call it a cramp. But as of today I feel exhausted again like last month so probably AF coming, trying not to get hopeful or test. It took me a long time to be able to ttc due to other medical problems so it feels like forever even though its not. I hope you all get good news this month.

runnerttc · 10/06/2020 17:33

Hey ladies! Can I join 🙋‍♀️ TTC Number 1, trying on and off for around 18 months so feels like forever! My cycles are often irregular depending on my exercise pattern, I've eased it back lots the last couple of months which is starting to help even out my cycles at around 32 days. Currently 5DPO and going nuts checking stats and symptoms! This is my first cycle temping and I'm willing each day to go by quicker so I can test the next morning 🤣

Ella17393 · 10/06/2020 16:31

Hi All, AF is due on the 21st for me. TTC baby #1, I’m at 3 DPO and have period like cramps and have been feeling very tired this afternoon. I could feel movement while I was laying down and sharp twangs to the left woke me up. Sending everyone good luck for when they test, fingers crossed!

Mayhammonkey · 10/06/2020 14:53

@SITL1992 same as me. I’ll probably wait until Monday and then see maybe. I have one test here so don’t want to waste by testing earlier and getting a negative. I’ll also drive myself mad with anxiety whenever I get a BFP so at least give myself a couple of days of assuming I’m not 😂.

LittleTooMuch · 10/06/2020 14:48

@CaramelTart23 - i'm the same, I'm going into work one day a week and working from home alone the other days so i'm sat at home overthinking every single thing and then when the OH comes home he rolls his eyes at me and tells me to stop getting my hopes up

@Anastacia1 my boobs have been so heavy the last week days, seems to be easing now though but on Monday I was literally sat there holding them because they ached that much. i feel like all my symptoms dont add up to the correct timings to be implanation or AF though. If only we had a time machine!

SITL1992 · 10/06/2020 14:43

[quote Mayhammonkey]@SITL1992 I’m feeling pretty much the same accept the tiredness. It’s crazy what our minds can do when we want something so much. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for us all. I have pcos so always think it will never happen. Tuesday seems like so far away to test.[/quote]
Hi! I know - I'm just driving myself insane, I don't expect to be pregnant but I keep feeling things and getting my hopes up! I'm due next tuesday but don't know when to test, don't want the heartache of negatives and wasting money before then getting AF! When are you thinking of testing?

Mayhammonkey · 10/06/2020 14:38

SITL1992 · 10/06/2020 14:23

Hi all! Thought I would join this - first month TTC and AF due on 16th so nervously awaiting...

Over the past few days been feeling very queasy. Had a lot of headaches and currently laid in bed as I'm just exhausted! Had a few cramps and lower back pain the last two days. Anyone having symptoms like this? Driving me mad! The only other timeI've felt like this was last year before I had a MC. But I'm sure I'm just overthinking it!

Anastacia1 · 10/06/2020 14:14

@CaramelTart23 yeah I'm the same I've been watching TWW YouTube's for the last week then I tell myself I need to stop this it will happen eventually 😫

Anastacia1 · 10/06/2020 14:13

@CaramelTart23 hey I'm hoping it's a symptom I usually get them a few days before AF so could just be normal ... I just feel this time it was earlier than usual and more extreme trying not to get hopes up

@Anastacia1 heyyy this might sound crazy but I'm actually waiting for the day I get sore boobs.. I don't have much to go on in terms of symptom wise but have been getting hot flushes especially around evening and night time not sure what that's about?

I don't want to get my hopes up as I've been such an emotional wreck in the past. I'm trying to have a more laid back approach but I find myself yet again... googling every little symptoms I 'think' is valid or remotely pregnancy related.

Anastacia1 · 10/06/2020 13:51

@LittleTooMuch yeah so had the tenderness for a few days then when I woke up yesterday it was gone then when I was walking my dogs I got this really weird/sore ache in my left boob then right and it's been coming and going since ...tenderness is back as well ... yeah I've literally slept the last two days between work today's not so bad I'm off and just not done anything feel like it's only really the boob symptoms today odd headache just want to fast forward a few days don't want to get my hopes up

Hi ladies!!

@Mayhammonkey 9dpo is still pretty early considering implantation doesn't take place until 6-12dpo.

I understand it's frustrating trying to work out every twinge and aches 😩 I'm absolutely losing mind over it lol

I've had THE worst migraine a few days ago barely could see and cried myself to sleep as I didn't want to take anything for it in case it messes up potential implanting.

@LittleTooMuch I think if I could just go back to work I wouldn't be looking into every little symptom.. but I guess I have you ladies for the distraction. God I would love to have more symptoms. Although I am still only at 7dpo and I've ovulated late this cycle usually it's at CD13

@2020wish really sorry to hear about your MCs hopefully this thread brings you all the luck and baby dust you can get!! Do let me know how you get on I should be testing a few days earlier than yourself x

Mayhammonkey · 10/06/2020 13:16

Hello! Can I jump on. I’m 9 dpo. I have the worst headache today and feel nausea. I really want to POAS but don’t want to waste the only test I have in. I mean is 9 days too early? I’ve been getting twinges in my stomach but think I’m overthinking and looking for any signs 😫 I would normally take ibruprofen for migraines but don’t want to just in case so I’m Soldiering this one out today. Fingers crossed for us all.

LittleTooMuch · 10/06/2020 13:10

@Anastacia1I can relate to that so much! painful heavy boobs, tired - like more than usual to the point where I don't feel I can concentrate but I feel like its just me making these symptoms up! today I have a pain in my right side, prob made that up too.
