hey ladies 💕

currently 4DPO & the tww is killing me already.
what do you do during the two weeks to keep you sane?

I have been trying for a baby for the last year properly, I have been tracking with OPKs and BBT. I haven't tracked bbt this cycle though.

Feeling hopeful that this year is my year.

@MommaSB

I'm 11dpo today. Her are the symptoms I had.

6+7dpo-gassy (sorry tmi) 😂
8dpo- VERY gassy and bloated, heartburn and af like cramps
9dpo - same + heartburn that was so bad it don't go away even after I took gaviscon
10dpo - same + noticed a prominent blue vein on my boob. Also had a metallic taste in my mouth- BFP
11dpo (today) - just af like cramps.

MommaSB · 24/01/2021 21:15

@Lnr27 congrats!! How many dpo are you please and what symptoms did you have? I'm too early to test here at 8dpo x

Lnr27 · 24/01/2021 19:14

Hi! Any updates on bfps?
I know I said yesterday that I'd given up but I started to get faint lines on cheapies and then today I got this! I did have some symptoms from 6dpo and am happy to share If anyone's interested. Fingers crossed for everyone!

@MommaSB Thank you, you too x

MommaSB · 23/01/2021 18:54

@HopingForOurRainbowBaby I know what you mean, I am up half the night googling anything symptom related! So annoying that most symptoms are similar to what you would have before af. I do feel I'm now imagining things and I'm only 7dpo. Sending luck x

HopingForOurRainbowBaby · 23/01/2021 17:25

I'm not sure how many DPO I am because each fertility app has given me different days. DTD 2 weeks ago but the test I took this morning was massively negative. I've had really painful boobs, my nipples have felt sensitive at times and I have a sharp pain in my left side. Feels like ovulation pains but it's lasting far longer than usual and I'm so tired. These are the exact same symptoms I had during my last Pregnancy but part of me is thinking because I want this so bad I'm imaging these signs.

Smartiesandhugs · 23/01/2021 16:21

@bcrvmama wow congrats! Sounds like a BFP!!

Lnr27 · 23/01/2021 16:07

@bcrvmama

Made me smile reading that. Amazing. Let me know how you get on!!

Nothing for me yet. Pretty much decided I'm not pregnant. I've had a few BFNs so I've given up!

bcrvmama · 23/01/2021 14:33

Hi!! I'm 10 dpo today. I tested yesterday and saw a very faint second line. Tested again today and the line is still very faint but darker than yesterday. I'm in too much disbelief to take it as a BFP. I went out and bought some more cheapies lol

Smartiesandhugs · 23/01/2021 12:41

Hi ladies, any updates or BFPs?
I’m 10dpo today and got some cramping. I don’t usually get them before AF so 🤞 but BFN yesterday. Might test again tomorrow but want to hold out to Monday if I can. My cycle has been longer this month as it’s usually 28 days but I know I ovulated late. The wait is killing me!

Lnr27 · 20/01/2021 23:27

You too!! Thank you Smile

bcrvmama · 20/01/2021 23:17

@Lnr27 My amazon order of clear blue early tests came in two days ago and I'm surprised I've been able to hold off lol. Best of luck to you!! Keep us posted :)

Lnr27 · 20/01/2021 23:11

@bcrvmama wish I could say I was one of those people that would test the day after my missed period. However I had an Amazon delivery this morning of 6 FRER so I'll defintely probably do one in the morning 😂

bcrvmama · 20/01/2021 23:04

@Lnr27 I feel nothing :( but trying not to get discouraged so early. I'm planning on testing at 11 dpo!! When do you plan on testing? Goodluck!!!

Lnr27 · 20/01/2021 21:46

They are quite expensive. I find the best ones are the cheaper ones. I have used the clearblue but I don't think it's worth it due to the cost. Worst thing you can say to someone in our situation is relax!! Drives me mad!

@bcrvmama yes 7dpo today! I'm having what feels like period pains today. Now and again I can feel some pressure. Can't wait to test so I know either way!!

bcrvmama · 20/01/2021 19:06

@Lnr27 you must be at 7 dpo like me today! I am going insane!

MommaSB · 20/01/2021 19:02

I was, but had no idea when to do it so was testing every day which worked out pricey and depressing so left it for a while and started noting symptoms bbt cm etc on an app. I suddenly had a lot of symptoms and happened to catch myself at the start of my fertile days which was exciting. I have no idea why it's not happening regularly doctors have just told me to relax and it will happen and suggest losing weight which I have been doing anyway. I don't have pain but have months and months with no period or irregular one day bleeds in between. I think as I already have one child, they don't take you quite as seriously or at least that is what I've experienced. I'm driving myself mad counting the days 🙃

Lnr27 · 20/01/2021 18:39

Hi @MommaSB

I know the pain of not ovulating as I have .
PCOS. Do you use Opks?

4 dpo is very early. I'm 7dpo today and sick of waiting already! Fingers crossed for you.

MommaSB · 20/01/2021 18:04

Can I join? Haven't been properly ovulating/having periods regularly since son was 1.5 and he's 4 next month that's how long we've been trying.
However I actually ovulated with all the symptoms!! And am now 4dpo. Currently sitting on my hands as I know testing is pointless just now.
Keep thinking even if it's not this month hopefully I will ovulate again. Feeling very aware of my body at the moment every twinge or ache. Sending luck to you all x

J2021 · 18/01/2021 21:34

@Lnr27 yeah I know it literally somehow feels like the longest wait ever this month for some reason 4dpo for me today and the wait is crippling me😅

Lnr27 · 17/01/2021 16:11

I'm 4 dpo today and I can't believe how slow it's going. If one more person tells me to just relax and it will happen - I'll explode. Fingers crossed for everyone here

J2021 · 16/01/2021 23:37

@Lnr27 thats good to have someone to keep you sane my partners the same I hope that this year is the year too🤞 feels like forever trying and I know the wait is so worth it so I keep reminding myself that it maybe taking long but it will happen when its supposed to happen

fairgame84 · 16/01/2021 20:52

Im 5dpo 2nd cycle.
If I don't get a bfp this month I'm going to get opks for next cycle.
I've had sore boobs since ovulation and had period pains for past 2 days but I'm putting that done to a dose of thrush I've got.
Not sure whether to test at 10dpo or wait to see if AF comes.

Lnr27 · 16/01/2021 20:41

@J2021

I was getting really down about it towards the end of last year. My husband is adamant he has a good feeling about this year. Bless him he does keep me sane!

I had to put my baby box on the top shelf that I can't reach. Grin
