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!

Hey can I join ☺️

Ttc #1

I have the worst boob pain ever like they feel so swollen TMI but last night I had a big vein across my nipple they were so warm also really tired and headaches but worries I'm just looking for symptoms due AF next Tuesday or Wednesday
What's everyone's symptoms? X😊

LittleTooMuch · 10/06/2020 12:40

Hey all! so im currently cycle day 22 and AF is due next tuesday 16th. I am constantly overthinking everything, I have sore boobs, pain in side, really tired, emotional but I know its way too soon and think I am just looking for signs and symptoms. I have even got to the point were I overthink what would I do workwise if I got a BFP because work policy is that you have to work from home but then everyone would know so would I just not tell them and continue going to work? silly right?!

@Darcy86 totally get you. I was extremely heartbroken especially last cycle as I was 4 days late with AF and an Evap line at 11dpo.

I just thought finallyyyy my luck is turning around but at 13dpo got a slapped with a BFN and it scared me to test again.. I sooo wanted it to be real and feel the same joy other women were.

I think what hit hard is that my SIL announced her pregnancy last cycle and I kept being asked when am I going to bring in the grandchildren 😩😭 although they are unaware of my fertility issues.. I just felt alone.

However being on MN really helped me cope and gave me every reason to stay sane!!

Really blessed to be a part of a community that gets it xx

@hannah88j I'm sure you will be absolutely fine haha! One thing I can recommend for OH is Brazil nuts and walnuts. It helps with sperm production

My hubby was and still is snacking on those with a bit of drizzled honey... I know it's TMI 😩😩 but I noticed his 'load' was more creamy whiteish looking as it's usually part egg white and creamy.

I'm trying all I can this cycle to optimise my chances but I wanted hubby to be equally involved as I am.

It's his favourite snack now ☺️

Oh and sliced pineapple for me but only here and there in a week as it is quite acidic

Thanks @CaramelTart23 ! I totally get you, I'm exactly the same!

I'm going to try and hold off until next week to test. I'm weirdly nervous about testing early and think I could become even more obsessive if I started that. It's so hard to wait though! When are you planning to test?

hannah88j · 10/06/2020 12:15

@CaramelTart23 same! I was really hopeful but it was my body playing tricks on me and AF showed up two days early just afternoon is wasted another pregnancy test 😂🙄

We've been BD'ing nearly every day as well. I think we've missed 1 day since CD4 lol 😂

I'm ovulating in the next 24 hours though so hoping I haven't worn OH out and he's got a few more days in him 🤞🏻

It will be nice to have a thread where we can all chat about our symptoms and try not to go mad together! Xx

Wooohooo @Darcy86 welcome!!

Ughgh I've been the same way 😞 it's literally consuming my entire life!! Just the constant googling and looking into other threads and prodding my breasts like it will make a difference 😩

I'm feeling a lot more lethargic and this off feeling in general.

I'm usually someone who can jump right out of bed and get the day going but today I've just been feeling like a complete sloth!!

I'm assuming you will be testing this week? X

Hi everyone!

Cycle #7
CD29
10 DPO
TTC#1
A fudging F due 16th (or thereabouts, my cycles are a little irregular)

I understand and completely relate to all of the feelings described - I'm veering between obsessively symptom spotting and then trying to calm myself down as essentially any symptoms I have could easily be the start of mild PMS. It's a bit all consuming!

Really hope this month is the month - good luck to everyone 🤞

@Moominmiss @hannah88j heyyy of course you may!! Thank you for joining 😀

Really sorry to hear about your MC 😞 @Moominmiss I know it sets off all kinds of thoughts, I've had an MC myself a few years ago and had a fear of TTC. But I realised that over time it has made me a lot stronger, I am able to deal with emotional setbacks a lot better. Are you experiencing any symptoms? X

@hannah88j
Oh godddd I had all kinds of symptoms during the tww last month. I was so hopeful and really excited as it wasn't AF like symptoms and then BAAM AF made her grande appearance 😒

I was just an emotional wreck... but I quickly recovered and hubby who was really supportive bought preseed and vitamins etc.

Feel more prepared this month as we've been BDing every day lol

Let's hope that this thread brings us good luck and sticky bean(s) 😝😝

Can I join too please?

Cycle #2
CD12
Ovulating tomorrow! (Peak opk today!)
TTC #3
AF due 23rd June

Hoping this will be a positive month for all of us. I hated the TWW last month and I used way too many HPT's because I started testing around 8DPO so this month I've told myself I will waiting until AF is due. Hoping I don't over think the TWW as much this month but it's so hard isn't it! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Moominmiss · 10/06/2020 11:27

Can I join? I’m 9dpo and af is due 15th.
I did test yesterday at 8dpo and today at 9dpo and got faint lines, but after a mc at 9 weeks and a chemical I’m not taking anything as a positive until I’m past af due date.
But I intend to carry on testing every day until I either have a clear bfp or af arrives.
I’m a total poas addict though and will admit I tested also at 7dpo! 🙈

@2020mission Thank you for joining! Lool I knos my hubby definitely thinks I'm a nutjob 😩

How are you symptom wise?

I think one of the reasons why I created this thread was the fact that I'm just feeling really deflated ughg I get twinges here and there and had a bad headache and hot flushes but not putting that down as any kind of preg symptoms other than that I'm not getting what other ladies are especially at my dpo 😞

I think I may be testing next Monday tooo let's hope I can even last that long lol x

Hey @CaramelTart23, I'll join you!

Cycle #4
CD18
5 DPO (estimated)
TTC #1
AF due around 19th-20th

Completely feel the same about feeling the need to POAS so early. I reckon I'll be testing early on the 15th.
