Hi ladies
Currently 6dpo, 6th cycle of ttc and due AF on Saturday!
Anybody with similar timing? My cycles are around 31 days and I ovulate a little later than I should, confirmed by opk every month.
Ive had the odd twinges (both sides and central) over the last 2 days, AF type pains front and back, more so back. today I've had banging headache, had 2 dizzy spells which lasted a second also sorry tmi but discharge in pants, white and dried crusty 🤢 never had that before!?! I've had a feel round cervix and the cm (not much when I've felt) but it's a mixture between ewcm and lotion like, white-ish in colour.
Feel like I'm symptom spotting again, as every month 🙄
Its literally torture I put myself through this every single month!!

@Kalecat I 100% agree with that, I pick things up every single month that I think, that's not happened before. Then wonder if I'm imagining it. Though, this mornings toilet trip was not in my head, neither is the headache that's been there all day. So those two little things are giving me a lot of hope right now, hopefully not false hope!

Hi ladies, I'd love to join! Sounds like we're all in very similar cycle stages. I'm 7 dpo today, AF due 29th.
I know it's so hard to not symptom spot - but we have to remember that any symptoms you feel this early are simply in your mind or just coincidences. If they were pregnancy related, your HCG would be high enough to actually give you a positive test.
I try to remind myself that in these early days as implanting before 8 dpo is so uncommon, like 0.5% of women. 😭

@Leobaby I have no idea period was normal!
I didn't know that till this morning it's a sign of implantation after I googled signs of it 😂

@Jessiemay2020 was it a chemical? It is disheartening when you see what you would class the start of bfps! Then bfns it’s worse than af arriving.
Ahh hopefully it is good signs, fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼I noticed that with me this morning actually when I blew my nose there was some blood. Never knew it could be a sign?!

@Leobaby bless you, its so disheartening. I had that a couple of months ago. Blazing strong positive. Really dark then negative the day after, AF turned up a few days later. Let's really hope it was too early for you 🤞
I have a headache again, blocked nose this morning blew it and there was spots of blood after I blew! I'm hoping its all good signs 🤞

🤞🤞🤞 Really hoping this is the month. Trying not to get my hopes up though which is soooo hard 😭

Leobaby · 22/07/2020 09:11

@Jessiemay2020 I may have to look it up!
@VP91x okay thank you! I need some reassurance now lol, couldn’t sleep cos I was excited but now I just feel crap! We shall see. Xx

VP91x · 22/07/2020 08:54

@Leobaby I know how hard it is to wait but I always have to remind myself that cheapies are less sensitive and 10dpo is a good starting point to test and even that is technically early. So don't be disheartened xx

@Jessiemay2020 stay positive ❤️ cervixes do all sorts throughout the day I've realised, haha xx

Jessiemay2020 · 22/07/2020 08:46

I'm really hoping it's something but cervix now feels firm as it does every month before AF 😩
Ahh bummer sorry about your neg this morning @Leobaby I too have heard stronger lines in evening!!
@VP91x aww I am sorry for your loss 😔 life is bloody unfair!! 💔

OP posts:
Leobaby · 22/07/2020 08:43

@VP91x yes I used the same brand. I’ve seen someone who had darker in the evening too, but how is that possible after all the drinking during the day, should surely dilute the urine? I have loads of cheapies so I can try again in the evening, but seeing those bfns have now just put me off completely. ☹️Xx

VP91x · 22/07/2020 08:40

@mummyjojo19 I know what you mean about feeling different. Have you had any symptoms?

@1192KS it is SO hard not to test, I really had to have a word with nyself this morning and just go pee really quickly so I didn't.

@Jessiemay2020 my daughter was also unplanned but amazing surprise she is now 2.5yo and I did fall pregnant last Nov but sadly lost the baby at 9w. Had no luck since then my cycles have been so irregular since, so I'm even more hopeful that I'm getting some symptoms possibly this month.

Positive for you if you've never had any spotting or discharge like that before. I always think anything aside from the usual is a good thing!

@Leobaby did you use the same brand? I've also seen posts where you get darker lines in the evening instead of fmu xx

Leobaby · 22/07/2020 08:16

@Jessiemay2020 well if you’ve not had it before I’d take it as a good sign!! I just did a frer, clear bfn. Not sure what happened last night lol. Possibly a false positive!

Jessiemay2020 · 22/07/2020 08:03

@Leobaby ooh that's exciting!! It is early but not impossible! See if you can get a first response one!?
Sorry tmi especially first thing but attached pic of this mornings strange bleed or whatever it is on the loo roll (please ignore chopped thumbnail 😂)
I'm praying it's not the start of AF, I have never had it before like that. I am getting some AF type pains now but not sure if that's because I'm thinking about it 🙄😂

Morning @Jessiemay2020 not sure what to think! I did a cheapie last night and a line appeared. That was 7dpo, I’m 8 today. Surely it’s too early 🙄 will do another test in a bit when i get up! And oooo, that sounds hopeful for you! fingers crossed it’s your IB!

Morning everyone
How's everyone feeling this morning?
I've woken up with headache and after I wiped there was very pale pink, almost orange patch on the tissue. Now trying not to get hopes up! 😩

@VP91x my eldest will be 9 in a couple of months and youngest turned 4 in Feb!
Nice to see a few of us due around the same time, I hope we all or at least 1 of us has a good month 🤞
I can't help but overthink things.
With my first born, I wasn't trying and he was unplanned but so loved from the minute I found out.
Second was planned in a way, tried for 2 years, no luck. Marched down Dr's on a Tuesday to go on pill, was told to take it first day of next period, that Friday I got my bfp!

Leobaby · 21/07/2020 21:13

@VP91x bless you! Well I am going to get my nails done tomorrow morning so that’s one thing lol. Will be busy over the weekend for my partners birthday so that’s not too bad. I guess so! Fingers crossed for us all Flowers

1192KS · 21/07/2020 21:05

Also meant to say good luck to everyone trying! Fingers crossed for you all!

1192KS · 21/07/2020 21:04

6 dpo too!
First month ttc and used the ovulation kits so pretty certain when i ovulated.
No idea when I’m due as only just had implant removed and not in a proper cycle. I thought I would be chill about it but it’s so hard not to want to do a test even though it’s way too early 🙈

mummyjojo19 · 21/07/2020 20:55

Hi ladies please can I join af is due on Saturday and I have all manner of new symptoms actually feel different this month if that makes sense. Baby dust for us all xxx

VP91x · 21/07/2020 20:40

@Jessiemay2020 how old are your other two children? I hope it happens for you soon🥰

VP91x · 21/07/2020 20:38

@Jessiemay2020 I know, I've never had anything like that either. Didn't even know it was a thing until joining TTC forums. I'm hoping it was that because of the colour etc, nothing since that one occasion yesterday.

@Leobaby I'm not back at work either yet, but I do have a 2.5 year old that keeps me busy. She's in nursery the rest of the week though, so need to find some more distractions.

Have to stay positive until AF is due and doesn't show! Xx

Leobaby · 21/07/2020 20:32

@Jessiemay2020 yes it actually is. I’ve not been too bad as I was last month - I was crazy. The TWW is dreadful when you have nothing to do, not back at work so I’m literally so bored. But yes I think I’m out too! Yes I know, my partner is the opposite will spot symptoms for me and say ooo you’re pregnant I’m like no wait and see 😂 he’s worse than me sometimes. It’s nice to have people to talk to about it though, I love keeping busy on here!😂

Jessiemay2020 · 21/07/2020 20:13

@Leobaby hey! Ooh it's such a horrible wait isn't it! I think I'm out again this month, I always feel like this and spot ridiculous symptoms and AF always turns up. Poor partner keeps saying...just wait and see don't get your hopes up! Easy for them to sag 🙄😂
