@BettyRem I've had the off symptom before which has been the PMS but this pulling sensation is very out the ordinary xx

BettyRem · 02/01/2021 16:34

@GeorgiaMcGraw 😂 good plan
Let us know how you get on, fingers crossed it's your month

GeorgiaMcGraw · 02/01/2021 16:30

@bettyrem I did the first month but ended up testing multiple times, too early after that. I'm trying to stay cool and aloof. I'm not letting my womb know I'm thinking about it this time! Grin

BettyRem · 02/01/2021 16:19

@GeorgiaMcGraw do you usually wait for AF until you test? I'm not sure which way is more bareable, I'm hoping I'll just be able to wait and not drive myself crazy 😂
@apwilso are those symptoms out of the ordinary for you?

apwilso · 02/01/2021 16:12

Nice to see more ladies joining the chat. I'm due on AF in 3 days but feel a weird pulling ball sensation in middle of lower stomach. Feels weird fatigue is bad atm and sore nipples. Tested today cos I can't help myself currently negative. I'll wait out but always negative as never seen a proper positive x

Tabbycat92 · 02/01/2021 15:02

@1992EM yeah defo wanna be more relaxed. We're pulling out all the tricks this time though. Changing diet, using his and hers fertility vitamins, magnesium, coq10, preseed 😅
Fingers crossed for us all!

Hello, I'm 28, from Lancashire. DH and I having been ttc our first for 5 months. I'm due AF on Tuesday, so just waiting to see. I've found it quite a stressful process but less so this month. I distracted myself with Christmas and let myself have a glass or two of bubbly here and there and I think it's helped me cheer up a bit!

@Tabbycat92 restrictions definitely help with situations like that. I am sorry AF has arrived but gald you have finally got started on your next cycle 💕 here is to some October babies . I should ovulate next week at some point. Haven't done any opks yet as just been dtd whenever we feel like it . Quite relaxed but will do opks next week to confirm when I get a peak as I was early last month and get a more accurate date for AF x

@1992EM sorry I meant to update, AF finally arrived in the evening on NYE. Just glad that I finally know what's going on. So if predictions are right, I should ovulate just before my birthday this month. Thank god for the new covid restrictions, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hide not drinking!

Happy New year to you all! Let's all hope for 2021 babies!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I’m just jumping over from the last thread. I’m 29, TTC baby #1, came off Yasmin pill December 2019 and have been TTC since May 2020, just had AF arrive to mark the start of our 10th cycle. I usually had quite regular 27 day cycles but have had a few random ones recently with a 24 day cycle length followed by a 31 day cycle length this time. We tried SMEP this month for first time and I started acupuncture. Have already had blood tests at the doctors and husband (27) has had SA - all came back normal. So at a bit of a loss as to why it’s not happening. Looking forward to hearing all of your journey’s in 2021 and lots of BFPs! The best is yet to come xx

laura2093 · 01/01/2021 17:51

Nice to meet you all ❤️ we have been TTC since April 2020, no luck as yet. On month 2 of using clear blue ovulation trackers. This is the first month I've had high and peak fertility shown - last month it was just peak. We DTD every other day up until today and will do again tomorrow.
I am 27yrs Old and my partner 26yrs old. This is our first baby TTC 👶🏻

BettyRem · 01/01/2021 17:01

Hey everyone, happy new year to you all!
@Hoping211 I’ve been lurking for a while too and we are starting TTC this month 🤞🏼I think I should be ovulating early next week so should be DTD now? I’m new to it all just kinda going with the flow. Haven’t used any opks but have been tracking my cycles for a while and checking for ewcm etc
So excited to follow other people’s stories and hopefully see some BFPs 🎉

LRW26 · 01/01/2021 16:04

Happy new year everyone! Praying for some BFPs for the group this year🤞🏻❤️

apwilso · 01/01/2021 15:25

Happy New Year Ladies ❤️🥳 We got a static smiley this morning go go go! Xxx

@Tabbycat92 you're brave I couldn't do it me!

@laura2093 if it is the 4 day indicator CB then it will probably be tomorrow and the next day you will get a static. I would also test this afternoon as you might get a static then too. 0ur bodies are a minefield 🤣 just when you think you have a pattern they go and change it . X

Tabbycat92 · 31/12/2020 10:45

@apwilso from reading old forums on here it seems the consensus is to wait it out until around 14days AF overdue. I'm 5 days overdue today.
I might order a blood test on amazon. As you can get them to do yourself

apwilso · 31/12/2020 10:39

@Tabbycat92 that's so weird. How long you going to give it or you going to phone doctors. Some people don't get a positive test and need a blood test to confirm x

laura2093 · 31/12/2020 09:35

Day 2 of flashing face 🤦‍♀️😂 I don't understand it at all, last month I went straight to solid smiley face! My mind is boggled!

@justwanttobeamum welcome 💕 opks are different from pregnancy tests they will show 2 lines most of the month however you need the second line to be just as dark or darker than the control line. If you can get a good deal I would invest in some clear blue ones. I use these alongside the cheaper ones and when the lines get stronger on the cheap ones I use the CB ones alongside . These show a smiley face if you have a peak and much easier to interpret. x

Hey can I join please :) 27 from Scotland came off the pill sept 2020 and gone to fairly regular periods 28/29 day cycles. Started opks last month but still getting the hang of them. I did get a couple of days with 2 lines on opks but not sure if it was peaks so if I actually ovulated. Currently CD7 so will start opks again soon. Fingers crossed for everyone love seeing positive tests on here 👶🏻
