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

@Kalecat hmmm 🤔 as I am due with AF, I didn't know if it could be a potential early pregnancy sign?

@Fran2020 I've had that before, but only during ovulation. When I ovulate, I get a very strong and painful stabbing feeling on whichever ovary is releasing the egg and it lasts for about 24 hours. When we DTD around that time, almost all positions are uncomfortable.
Could just be where your cervix is positioned today?

Ok TMI post alert...

Me and my partner just DTD and it felt weird.... pretty much every position didn't feel right. Found one eventually thank goodness! Anyone else experience this? Thank you!

Love the honesty @nottherealslimshady 😂

@mylittlebean2019 honestly it feels like that's how it works when you dont want to get pregnant!

@Kalecat sorry you're still not sleeping, it's the worst.

@DoctorBambino going to try to wait till saturday but honestly it could be in 2 minutes, I cant be trusted.

@1992EM I'm still planning to hold out testing until Saturday! But I'm going to see what happens tonight/ tomorrow.

@mrswilso Thank you and fingers crossed for you too! 🤞🏼 It's really unfair how all the symptoms are so similar/ the same!!

@Kalecat sorry to hear that, I've not slept well for almost two weeks now, really hoping that's a promising sign. Hope it is for you too!

@DoctorBambino Thank you! Plan is to test on Saturday but going to see how things are tonight/ tomorrow with symptoms/ if any spotting starts. Then it COULD change to Friday but we shall see. 🤞🏼

@Dinosaurus86 It'll soon be next week! 😊

I have a longish cycle. AF due Monday so will only test on Tuesday if no sign. Seems ages away!

@nottherealslimshady eeeek that sounds promising, when will you test?

@Fran2020 so hopeful for you, when will you be testing?

@dinosaurus86 I did the yoga once but didn't keep it up 🤭 oops!

I think I might test Friday...

Another terrible nights' sleep for me in the books. I think that's 4 in a row... Definitely starting to catch up to me now😴.
Good luck to everyone testing soon! I'm only 7 dpo and anxiously awaiting my turn lol

@mrswilso I have stopped testing but randomly decided to last night. May do one tomorrow morning to check. It is very cruel how your body plays tricks. I never used to notice anything at all until AF arrived but because I read into everything so much I notice every twinge 🙈. My boobs just feel so heavy and constantly erect (sorry for tmi) fingers crossed it is a positive sign for us and will lead to BFP.

@fran2020 I'm getting excited for you! ✨ fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
@1992EM I'm 8/9dpo today due AF on Sunday and planning on trying to hold off testing until Sunday morning. My OPKs are bothering me, getting almost 100% positive lines over the past couple of days on my morning test, it's almost completely negative on my evening test - I know I shouldn't be testing still but can't help myself! Ha!
I've been really bloated and uncomfy the last two days too, and hubby said my nipples looked different last night totally unprompted...
I'm trying not to get my hopes too high...it's so cruel how close the symptoms are for pregnancy and AF 😭

All sounds promising so far. Good luck to everyone awaiting AF this week . Fingers crossed she stays away and you all get a BFP. When are you all testing?

AF due next Thursday for me and 7 dpo. Only half way through the 2ww. Only thing really is my boobs are so sensitive since I was in the shower last night. Also took another opk to check as have read so many people get 2 peaks. It was barely visible . Gave me peace of mind though 🤣. Anything to poas.

CD26/ 13DPO here and no sign of AF! Keep expecting my pre-AF spotting when I go to the toilet but nothing. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

AF due today, no sign yet, one of my apps has moved it to friday though, CD29 today which is longer than usual for me but I ovulated late. My boobs are killing me so if shes coming she better hurry up!

Hope everyone's having a good day x

@DoctorBambino are you doing the fertility yoga to encourage blood flow to the right places? Apologies if you’re one of the people who mentioned it to me! I can’t keep track! It makes me feel at least like I’m doing something proactive.

I feel like I have every symptom under the sun but I expect I’m imagining many of them . I don’t have them all the time, but definite bouts of nausea, boob heaviness and tingling, a bit of cramping (AF not due until Monday so a bit early for that). My neighbour’s perfume made me feel sick yesterday! TMI but have also been nipple inspecting... I feel they have a darker ring around the edge but I rather suspect I am overthinking that one. But then I read cases where the month it happened for other people they felt nothing, so who knows what’s going on!!

9DPO here and no symptoms whatsoever! Today would be most likely for implantation! Wish there was something we could do to guarantee that happening!

What symptoms are you having @Dinosaurus86?

@mylittlebean2019 I have been peeking at the pregnancy board and on the March 2021 thread someone just joined who had a string of highs but no apparent peak - she assumed that she either missed the peak or didn’t ovulate, but it turns out she must have! So don’t give up hope!

I’m now 10dpo and getting lots of symptoms. I’m convinced something is happening. But trying not to get too excited because the same thing happened the month before last and ultimately it fizzled to nothing.

@mylittlebean2019 hopefully you have either already ovulate and caught it or will ovulate in the next couple of days. How stressful for you. I wish it was like they told you in school. How much easier would life be?!? 🙈.

@kalecat that is a shame you have to plan around them . I would be like stuff it 🤣

@mylittlebean2019 right!? I wish it worked that easily 😂 I hope this month is my month, as we won't be able to try next month as the potential due date would be way too close to a family member's birthday, and they would NOT appreciate sharing it lol

@1992EM AF is due on the 29th but I have had irregular cycles since I had my DD so who knows! Maybe I’m ovulating really late which i won’t be happy about because I just see it as even longer to try again!

@Kalecat I feel the exact same! I wish it was like what we were promised at school that anytime you have unprotected sex you are guaranteed to get pregnant 🤣

@kalecat we are more less the same time 🙌 you are so right I used to dread the day AF arrived now I find myself willing that date to come sooner in the hope she doesn't arrive. I find myself wishing my life away .

@fran2020 at least the 9 months we get to go baby shopping to distract us.

AF due 29th for me. So far away 😂😭😭😭
The annoying thing about this whole ttc thing is that you count every day until your period comes, and if it does come, you've just spent half the month away waiting for Aunt Flo. What a waste! 😂 @1992EM

@1992EM Thanks, it's so hard not to test!! Hopefully the next few days will go quickly. Good plan to try to hold on as long as possible to test. 😊 Oh yeah exactly, 9 months is sooooooo much longer!!

@Dinosaurus86 I'm the same, I don't want to test and be disappointed or get a positive which later turns into a negative.

@kalecat Yeah I am 6 dpo too. When is AF due for you? I am going to try hold off until af if I can but it is so far away. 🤣 .

@mylittlebean2019 sorry to hear that you haven't got your peak. It sound like you have dtd enough to cover you if you did miss the peak. When is AF due and do you normally get regular cycles?

@nottherealslimshady I have no idea 🤣 I'm hoping baby shopping will be a good distraction. 🤣

@Nottherealslimshady I have been testing in the morning with CB, and then doing two further tests in the afternoon and early evening with my internet cheapies. Surely they would have picked up the peak if CB missed it? Or if I did miss the peak would my lines be getting fainter by now? They’ve just been sitting at 40-55% 😕
