@SMB20 don't worry too much about CM everyone's different like I said. My last pregnancy I did have lots of creamy CM but that's not to say everyone else would have that too, bless you though it is hard even though I'm here giving advice I'm itching to test and for time to move forward 😂😂 fingers crossed eh! Xxx

@pineapplejuice20 I’ll try and wait as long as possible! All my CM now seems to have dried up which I don’t think is a good sign (although it did the same last month). The symptom spotting is so bad! Thank you 💖 my husband is still super positive but I’m finding it hard! Luckily I have a week off work so I’m relaxing lots!xxx

pineapplejuice20 · 21/07/2020 12:21

@SMB20 implantation can occur anywhere from 6-12 days after ovulating so yeah try leave it about 7 days at least 😊 aww I feel for you it's awful the wait after going through stuff like that. But keep positive 💗

@pineapplejuice20 I think I ovulated yesterday so in theory could I test next Monday? With my last chemical I waited until I was 1-2 days late and then started bleeding 4 days later. I don’t really want to go through that again but the waiting is also killing me already!

pineapplejuice20 · 21/07/2020 11:28

@rosiejgee hahaha oh if only gets worse when you're preggers but then you have the excuse 🤰🏻😂 like I've said to @Escaperoomuser try hold out as long as you can for testing! I wish I had tested when I ovulated as I'd like to know how out my app is. I've had EWCM a few days ago so I presume it must of been around then, so I'm going to test I think in a weeks time. Every 2 days your HCG doubles I think, so you could have a BFN one day then a few days later BFP! :)

Hello and welcome @Escaperoomuser! Fingers crossed this is the monthly for you! I would wait until AF is due to test.. that's what I do now because I read so much about chemical pregnancies which are common and we'd never normally find out about unless we test early. And then it's just upsetting for people and makes you feel rubbish 😪

rosiejgee · 21/07/2020 09:32

@pineapplejuice20

My ovia app says I logged having loose bowels (fab) fatigue, happy mood, a lot of creamy CM 🤮 tender boobs, bloat. So these could be symptoms for you but everyone is different so don't ever worry if others say they have this and that and you don't :)
Brilliant 😂 I've got sore boobs which feel like.. heavy? And having the most bizarre dreams! And snapping at the OH so he's decided work is now his happy place 😂 just feel really irritable! Guess I'm just going to have to sit and wait! xx
Escaperoomuser · 21/07/2020 08:56

Grin now there's an idea! Although not sure it'd do my mood any good, seeing so many negatives... 🤔 Argh the waiting is so hard!!

pineapplejuice20 · 21/07/2020 08:37

@Escaperoomuser if you really can't wait i would recommend buying the internet cheapies from amazon it helped me get by with my first, I tested every day (knowing it would be neg) until I got towards the end of the 2WW and started using more expensive tests. Or you'll end up spending a fortune lol! X

Escaperoomuser · 21/07/2020 08:09

I was afraid you'd say that!!

Thanks for replying. Glad I've found a thread with women in the same boat, where I can express my insanity and keep myself busy on 😁

pineapplejuice20 · 21/07/2020 05:40

@escaperoomuser I really would try and hold off until at least 11dpo! I know it's hard not too but the longer you can hold off the better! Xx

Hello can I join??

New to this TTC malarkey so still getting used to the jargon and many acronyms.

2nd cycle off cerazette as well. Only had one proper period since coming off

I use the Get Baby app, it was 2 days out with ovulation prediction... I used the test strip things.

We DTD SO MANY TIMES before, during and after ovulation... If I don't get pregnant I really will despair!! 😂

Question about the earliest I can take a test... I am 6dpo and AF is due Monday 26th July. I am just itching to test... Is it too early? I don't want to do it only to be disappointed. Should I wait until Monday?

SMB20 · 21/07/2020 01:44

Hi everyone I think I’m in my two week wait now! I’m on cycle day 16 after a chemical pregnancy last month. I think I ovulated yesterday and my CM seems to have changed now too.

I’m finding this cycle quite tough after my chemical and I am going to try and hold off resting until I’m a week late. I’ve convinced myself my chemical was because of my low iron and B12 and doing everything I can to try and bump it up. At the moment I feel very nauseous and tired with cramps and bloating but I think they are just ovulation symptoms. Last month before I got the positive test I was extremely tired with an unquenchable thirst. I already have a 2 year old and with her I didn’t find out until around 6 weeks and only thought to take a test because my boobs were burning!

Fingers crossed everyone has positive news this month xxx

@rosiejgee aww I love that! When the time comes enjoy every second of your pregnancy because trust me it goes so fast! Even though it doesn't seem it at the time. With my little girl my symptoms began at around 4/5 weeks. EXTREME tiredness, back aches and veiny boobs! Then at around 9 weeks nausea began until I was about 13 weeks then it stopped but I only had it in a morning. As soon as I ate my breakfast it came back up again within 20 mins was awful. I also had spotting the day after I got my BFP. I had bleeding throughout my pregnancy too, so many scares but she was a healthy baby so I always say to people not to worry too much about it if they ever do get bleeding - obviously always get it checked out but 9/10 it's nothing to worry about. Red is fresh, brown is old and pink again is nothing to worry about usually. Back to symptoms though during my DPO stages I don't think I had anything apart from my usual PMS il have a look back and see if I ever logged anything on my ovia app ! Long post but hope it helps you

@pineapplejuice20 sounds like you really have your hands full!! Yes it's my first time trying, everything is so alien to me 😅 did you have any things you noticed in your first stages with your first? x

pineapplejuice20 · 20/07/2020 17:13

@rosiejgee I'm not taking anything currently but I have a well balanced diet and plenty active with my 6 month old so I'm not too worried about that, I never took anything til I found out I was pregnant with my daughter either but we didn't actively try for her! Yeah it's a very tedious process the 2WW 😩 is this your first?

OP posts:
rosiejgee · 20/07/2020 15:40

@pineapplejuice20 Hello! Urgh the first week is the wooooorst isn't it! Yes I'm going wait until I test too, I've heard First Response are the better ones? Are you taking any vitamins or anything? x

pineapplejuice20 · 20/07/2020 15:26

Hi girls! I'm 2dpo so still early days for me. AF due 1st aug, I'm definitely holding off testing until at least next week just because with my first I didn't get a positive until I was 1 day late! I'm only on cycle 2 since coming off cerezette so I'm not holding my breath.

With DC1 I never got any symptoms until I was a few weeks gone, so I'm trying my best to not symptom spot 🤣 but it's far too hard not to think ooh is this a sign, is that a sign. It's very exciting. 💗 GL to all

rosiejgee · 20/07/2020 14:58

@Hilly20 it's amazing how quick you become slightly obsessed isn't it 😂 I've just started taking seven seas conception vitamins.. read up about them and they have great reviews! Looking at the convo I'm guessing your towards the end of your 2WW? Have you had any symptoms? x

Hilly20 · 20/07/2020 14:53

@rosiejgee Hi there! I'm fairly new too but welcome :) I'm 29 and on my 3rd cycle trying, we've not told anyone either, so were kinda in the same boat. It could be... or could not be unfortunately, its that horrible wait inbetween.

I use clue, but did do a fertility test and found it was about 2-3 days out not too bad though.

rosiejgee · 20/07/2020 14:24

Hi everyone!! TOTALLY new to this so pardon all the techy mistakes I'll be making! I'm 28 and TTC (2nd cycle trying), DTD day prior to ovulation and the day before that. Now on CD18, 8DPO and witchy AF due in 8 days..! Haven't told anyone about us TTC so it would be so lovely to speak to other girlies on what they are experiencing and getting some advice! Had solid cramping allll day yesterday and felt nauseous this morning 🤢 I know it's probably way too early to symptom spot but just wanted to tell someone! Also does anyone use Clue? Been tracking for months as been off contraception over a year ❤️

Hilly20 · 20/07/2020 14:11

@Catchafallingstar15 Fingers crossed for you too! That would be a overly gift for you both!

AF is due this weekend, but getting light spotting.. first sign of anything.. but could be just my AF.... Just trying to hold off testing until my period is late.

Anything for you?

Catchafallingstar15 · 18/07/2020 20:41

Good luck @Hilly20

I’m trying to stay positive but also have zero symptoms like you.
That would be a lovely birthday present!
I’m hoping for a BFP before our anniversary at the end of the month x
