24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)

@1992EM Thanks, i did have similar symptoms last month though. But I'm keeping hopeful and optimistic. 🤞🏼
Beetroot gate 😂 that's good to have a busy week planned! But awkward to have to make excuses to not be drinking, say you're on antibiotics? I'm a rubbish liar too!!

@Nottherealslimshady Thanks, we will see though. 🤞🏼 hahaha you literally just said you were waiting until Saturday! 😂 but yeah still plenty of time for a BFP! What test did you use?

@Dinosaurus86 I feel better doing daily yoga too. Aww it's so hard not to put pressure on yourself. Some people don't get any symptoms at all. Thanks, we shall see 🤞🏼 I've had two session so far, first was around ovulation and second was around when implantation could've been. I have another session booked for next week.

Thanks @Gymbelle I definitely do feel better when I do yoga regularly so will try to keep it up!

I think I’m putting more pressure on myself this month. Last month I felt very early that it just wasn’t going to happen. This month I have slightly more hope but my symptoms are still very mild and intermittent. Yours sound pretty good though @Fran2020! Do you have anymore acupuncture lined up?

At least there’s plenty of time for it to change to a bfp @Nottherealslimshady!

Legit just caved. Not even fmu. BFN ffs. 🙈😂

Beetroot gate 😂😂
@Fran2020 that sounds very positive!

I've been having a few possible symptoms but nothing too solid, did feel a little AFy this morning tbh, AF due Wednesday-Friday so will be testing saturday if it's a no show 🤞

@fran2020 all of these sound like promising signs and glad you are feeling positive. I am cd 20 and 5dpo . AF due the 30th. No noticeable symptoms (other than beetroot gate🤣) had pulling around ovulation time and occasionally since but far too early to be anything related. I have a busy week or so planned to distract myself. However now have a night planned with friends a few days before AF which will involve drinking so need to get my excuses made closer to the time for why I can't drink 🙈. I am such a rubbish liar though. 🤣

Morning! How is everyone today? I hope you all have a great week!

I'm now CD24/ approx 11DPO with AF due on Thursday/ Friday. My current aim to to try to wait until Saturday before I take a test. I need to keep myself distracted this week as I have ICs, an FRER and pregnancy tests for my CBFM in the cupboard.

I've not been feeling great: sleeping badly, tired, headachy, sicky, weird tummy feelings, sensitive nipples, bloated. But I've had lots of these symptoms on other cycles. My RHR is doing some interesting things this time though. 🤞🏼

I'm really trying to keep relaxed and optimistic this cycle which is mostly happening but I am having moments....

Sending positive thoughts to everyone for this week! 😊 xx

Thank you @Nottherealslimshady I really hope so! @Dinosaurus86 try to stay positive. I have found the fertility yoga and positive affirmations really helps. ❤️

That does sound like implantation bleeding @Gymbelle!

I’m not feeling so positive today for some reason. I just want a baby! Why is it so hard!

Congrats on the new house @Kalecat :)

That could have been implantation bleeds @Gymbelle 🤞

Hope you are all well. I took a bit of time out to reset!

@Kalecat congrats on the new house.

@Littlebee1990 hope your cycle returns to normal - stay positive!

@sle0911 keep us posted- sending positive thoughts to you!

I’m 10/11 days DPO on TTC cycle 13. After trying to relax and not symptom spot I had some weird spotting on 6/7 DPO. Only lasted about 16 hours, never had that before.it was my first month using the CB digital fertility monitor. 😬😬

@kalecat congratulations on your new house. How exciting 💕 .My oh has a man cave 🤣. I wanted to turn it into a nursery and use the spare room as a playroom when we get lucky. He has other ideas. 🙃.

How was everyone's Saturday? DH and I moved into our new place today, luckily had some help from family to move the larger items. I'm putting some decor away right now and can't help but to visualize our spare bedroom as a nursery. Hopefully in 10 days time I can tell hubby that the room definitely won't be used as a mans den as he previously mentioned 😂.

@beepbeep42 that is a bit strange then , hopefully you get a positive opk soon. I've not got much experience of them as First month using them. X

@1992EM I tracked 13 months TTC no1 and I've tracked the last 7 cycles. Cycle length can vary but average 27/28 days. I usually feel ovulation day 15 (and get peak reading) so its just a bit...wierd.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend. Congrats on your (possible) BFP @sle0911

Had a good weekend visiting family, really made me excited about bringing a baby into our family :) still got a headache, cramps and sore boobs and nipples but nothing more. 6 days max to go 🤞

@dinosaurus86 I am glad I am not alone. Hopefully it is pregnancy related 💕

Indeed in terms of symptom spotting, I’ve had a really gippy stomach today and a few odd pains. Not sure if that’s a symptom of pregnancy of not! Unfortunately I tend to feel everything in my bowels!!! I can’t work out if I’ve eaten something odd or not.

Ah don’t worry @1992EM - I was once tricked by beetroot into thinking I had a UTI!

@Fran2020 they definitely don't. 🙈🙃

@mrswilso Good plan! Ahhh lovely! I bet you miss her though? Holidays there in the future will be lovely!

@Dinosaurus86 you should, I really enjoy it! Sets me up for the day too.

@1992EM oh no 😂 that's good you figured it out though! Hopefully it'll go quickly! I'm about 9 DPO now so getting there! 😂 yeah partners don't quite get it do they?!

@Fran2020 I feel like such a dafty. It was definitely beetroot 🤣🙈. At least I've got to the bottom off it as far too early for implantation as I am only 3 or 4 dpo. It's going to be a long tww.

I never thought about doing legs in the air other than after dtd. May start that too and add it to my list of crazy ttc antics . My oh just shakes his head now. He can't understand why I continue to drink the grapefruit juice even though I hate it 🤣.

Sorry that should say CD22!

Thanks @Fran2020 - think I might have to add fertility yoga to my routine!

Thanks @fran2020 @dinosaurus86 - I think I'll stick on 4dpo today then ✨
Shes in Queensland @fran2020 I've never been over myself but she's definitely settled there now by the looks of things so I'm looking forward to some holidays down under in the future!

@Dinosaurus86 I do a 15 min fertility yoga session every morning and the last pose is legs up in the air! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@1992EM ahhh yes I think beetroot can do that yeah 😂 I've had twinges pretty much since then too. TTC really does, who knew!!!

@mrswilso I can understand that! Where in Australia is she? I love it over there!
Hmmm yeah it was probably just a fluctuation like you said but keep checking just in case. 😊
I think I slept better but still woke up a bit in the night and feeling tired today. Also feeling headachy, sicking and got weird feelings in my tummy.
Well my first peak day was definitely darker than my second peak day so I assumed I ovulated the day after the first peak. As your second peak was darker, I would say you ovulated the day after that. But it's all estimates really!
