I'm in 2WW 3DPO and been up every 2 hrs to pass urine and dying for a drink. Had twinges/pulling in lower abdomen all night and a weird full feeling in the bottom of my belly. Where's everyone else at in 2WW and how are u feeling? x

@Sungirl11 fingers crossed for you when you take that test. Hopefully this is your month.

@laurenah sorry about your MC, hopefully your rainbow baby is on the way.

@ARIO that’s great restraint! I took one today - BFN but it’s way too early.

I’ve sore boobs today so hoping that’s a good sign.

Hi please can I join!

I unfortunately had a miscarriage 2 months ago and I'm really hoping to get my happy ending this month!
I am 12 DPO and AF is due in 3 days.. My boobs have suddenly become very sore and I have been sleeping WAY more than usual!

Fingers crossedHalo

Sungirl11 · 07/08/2020 00:15

Hi ladies! Can i join?
Been ttc for almost 17months now with no luck.
I am 10dpo today and yesterday started spotting 🥴 it's way too early for af as it wouldn't give enough time for implantation to occur... i think.
Bit anxious about it now... don't even want to test 🙈
Xx

MissMini · 06/08/2020 17:34

@myfavouritefudgecake you’re right, need to stay strong!

@EJay84 lots of symptoms, fingers crossed that’s a good sign! I’ll try and wait til next week and then test.

I caved and tested yest and today and (I think) 7 and 8 DPO. Negative results obviously but couldn't help myself lol. Symptom wise I have spots on my neck and head, tightness in my womb and cramping that comes and goes, peeing a lot, having crazy dreams and a sore throat this morning. Oh, and headaches. It's driving me nuts! x

@Nam095 yeah. I think hormonal acne is linked to low progesterone? The hormone you need to carry a healthy pregnancy. So obviously I'm reading all kinds of things into it. Makes sense that you had it on the pill and it got better off.

I have pretty normal discharge/mucus patterns in line with my usual cycle so that feels a bit of a sign in the other direction. Although this is all speculation as I've absolutely no idea what to expect

myfavouritefudgecake · 06/08/2020 16:56

I doubt there will be anything 7dpo. So as hard as it is, I would wait.

MissMini · 06/08/2020 16:32

Has anyone done any tests yet? I think I’m about 7DPO and desperate to take a test but sure nothing will be showing this early. Have had a few cramps but nothing really.

ARIO · 06/08/2020 14:16

Hey, I'm 7dpo today nothing really to report out of the ordinary! AF due in 3 days apparently but don't seem to have usual pms symptoms 🤔

Nam095 · 06/08/2020 13:50

Feeling some weird twinges and pressure in my abdomen today! One more week to go 😆

@EJay84 @ARIO how are you both feeling today? x

@myfavouritefudgecake that’s funny you say that, I’ve had some type of acne on my chin for the past year or so, as soon as I stopped my pill it went! Crazy how much our hormones affects us

myfavouritefudgecake · 04/08/2020 23:10

I'm 6dpo! Can I join?

My PCOS acne has just.... cleared up. This chin acne has been plaguing me for almost a year and suddenly it's vanished so I'm clinging into wondering if it's a sign of something.

Sadly everything seems completely normal Confused

Oh well if nothing else I've got my good skin back

I'm 5 dpo and have had really strong cramping and low backache on and off for the last day or so. Wahh I just want to know! Off on holiday Saturday morning so might do a cheeky test before I go even though its only 9dpo.

I just saw you can get a pregnancy test checker app to help analyse the faint lines. Guess what I'm downloading lol? x

Nam095 · 04/08/2020 20:12

I’m only 3/4dpo today getting some mild cramping but doubt it’s anything to take notice of so early. I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait till 13th for first test though haha

MrsCrumbtious · 04/08/2020 19:56

2po and full of bloat 🐷 remember when I was pregnant with Crumb#1 I had almost no symptoms and my boobs even stopped hurting like they did just before AF arrived.

Anything and any symptom or lack of symptom is a possibility 😉 keeping everything crossed for us!

EJay84 · 04/08/2020 19:29

Symptom spotting as usual lol. Been up the past 3 nights to pass urine every couple of hrs, which is unusual for me and been crampy on and off. Time will tell I guess. I'm just getting hopeful. How about you? x

ARIO · 04/08/2020 16:43

@EJay84 how you getting on today?

Original poster
EJay84 · 01/08/2020 21:57

Hey @ARIO looking forward to seeing how we get on. I'm going to sneak a wee early test in next Fri just incase. I have a BBQ I wouldn't mind a wee drink at and would wanna check if there was even a hunt of pregnancy. This is my first month tracking so I have nothing to compare it to as I've only had one period since coming off the Mirena. I've even tried to work out when I should be feeling implantation pains lol x

OP posts:
ARIO · 01/08/2020 20:34

Hey all, @EJay84 I'm 3dpo today too. Getting lower back pain and nausea and get all excited but then look back at my chart last month and realise I had the exact same last month haha. I'm planning on testing next Saturday. I actually leave for holiday that day so hopefully I'll find out one way or another so I know if I can drink!! A week to go....

LemonDrizzle44 · 01/08/2020 18:23

@MissMini AF due on Friday (7th). I have one test left. So will hold out til then (...if I can). Deliberately not buying more to stop me testing early 😂

MissMini · 01/08/2020 17:53

Thank you @Nam095 I will look into this. I know what you mean, such a long two weeks!!

Fingers crossed for you @LemonDrizzle44. Hard not to get your hopes up with symptoms. When are you planning to test?

LemonDrizzle44 · 01/08/2020 17:40

@EJay84 I usually leave it on the bathroom side and come back after 2 and a half minutes (if it says to read within 3 minutes), I can't be staring at it 😂

@MissMini I'm usually quite clued up with tracking my symptoms. I get ovulation pain and monitor CM. This is my first month tracking BBT as I had a really long cycle last month and wasn't sure when I ovulated.

Me and DP have not been properly TTC but will be pleased if it happens. I came off the pill in January and this is probably one of the first month we've actually DTD regularly near ovulation (he often works away which is making TTC harder). This is the first month I'm really getting some symptoms too! I won't get my hopes up though.
