9DPO today - tested with frer and nothing. Trying not to lose hope but have a feeling I'm out this month. Boobs started hurting yesterday but I'll probably just put it down to the af coming. My temp also dropped 0.1 so we shall see what happens tomorrow. I still have those weird cramps and my back is aching too past 3 days so haha I'm worried now when she comes it will be a Holly mother of all afs lol and will be like gates of hell opening 🤣

I'm due either 1st or 3rd depending which app it is 🤣

@hungrycaterpillar12 nice to have you with us!

@Meg87 don't worry about lack of symptoms I think I would prefer that than overanalyse every single thing that can easily be explained by the impending af 😆

Hey @hungrycaterpillar2 😊 When do you think you'll test?

hungrycaterpillar12 · 27/01/2021 21:26

Have always been just a lurker, however had to join as this is my exact cycle too, 8dpo today and due AF on 03 Feb. I have had some symptoms such as really sensitive nipples, stomach cramps and back pain? but can be a bit of a symptom watcher, even though not specifically ttc. Holding out to test but it’s hard to wait Blush

@HerringGull

It's costing me a small fortune!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm 100% not doing another until Sunday now!

Started to get sore boobies this evening 🤷🏼‍♀️

HerringGull · 27/01/2021 20:45

Hmm think I maybe already said that on this thread... repeating myself! 🙈 Scrambled brains!

slinks off to hang head in shame

HerringGull · 27/01/2021 20:42

I'm not due til 4th or 5th as I have a 15/16 day LP. Very annoying for TTC! I used to wait until I was late, but last month I ended up doing a test at 14dpo with DH there and it was easier to handle the disappointment together, than waiting for AF to pounce when I'm on my own!

peach1234 · 27/01/2021 20:27

I'm due 3rd feb too! We can do this! Be strong! lol x

HerringGull · 27/01/2021 20:13

@emilyylouise haha do you just have one left? That's a good way to control yourself!
I've bought CB digis on purpose - no point testing before 11 or 12 dpo with those so it helps me control myself 🤣

AbiBrown · 27/01/2021 19:06

Same 3 Feb here. And yeah you'd think we'd be more sensible second time round 😂

Meg87 · 27/01/2021 19:02

Hi all, I'm 8DPO today too. I'm trying to not test until my period is late, and my period isn't due until 3rd Feb which means I'll be testing on 16DPO! Which seems a crazy long time to wait. At least the result should be pretty accurate by then.
I am completely symptom free at the moment 😕

emilyylouise · 27/01/2021 18:58

I caved and done a test when they arrived... was obvs negative like I knew it would be but I still bloody done it 🤣🙈

Think now I'm just going to wait until Sunday when I'm 12DPO as don't want to have to buy more 🤣🤣🤣

@AbiBrown ermmm you would think this being my no 2 I would be more sensible but naaaaaah haha still terrible 🤣 also same here you would think I would know the difference but I guess every pregnancy is different so I just hope. I am trying to be semi sensible as I have those cramps for last few days so telling myself it's probably my hormones are all over the place and af if around the corner... probably it will not stop me testing tomorrow morning unless it arrives 🤣

@acaciabluebell I have absolutely no will when it comes to testing 🤣 ruining my day would absolutely not be enough to stop me 🙈🤣

OP posts:
AbiBrown · 27/01/2021 18:41

Ha, I did a hell of a lot of that during my previous ttc period before I conceived my daughter. I feel a little bit more like I would know what to look out for this time but tbf I'm clueless. I'm also a bit scared because I know that if I'm indeed pregnant as soon as I find out we're gonna have to make a lot of stressful and time consuming decisions about where to live as I've been burying my head in the sand for the past year!

acaciabluebell · 27/01/2021 18:41

@Blossom37 haha not brave at all, I try to avoid testing because I only ever see negatives and then I get so upset and it ruins my day/week!

@AbiBrown hard not to spot symptoms isn't it? I try to be sensible (failing loads haha) and just Google every tiny bit and search this app for similar symptoms 🤣

OP posts:
DizSquiz · 27/01/2021 17:34

Hello I'm 7dpo today, how is everyone?

HerringGull · 27/01/2021 16:47

Hi @acaciabluebell Smile Ooh Sunday is soon! Definitely hold out to test later if you can manage it. It's so hard though!

acaciabluebell · 27/01/2021 15:36

Hey everyone I'm also 8dpo. AF due for me on Sunday. I have had zero symptoms until today when my nipples became sore (but this happens for me every month pretty much). I don't think I want to test until at least AF due date but who knows!!

AbiBrown · 27/01/2021 15:31

I also have some weird stabbing type cramps, very low down. But again it might be that I'm actually looking out for them and noticing them and they've always been there! The two major things that might be it is that we had sex a few times around ovulation date and the soreness in my breasts, which is largely central as opposed to near the armpits. I need to wee more as well... but no idea if I'm imaging that!

Blossom37 · 27/01/2021 14:15

@HerringGull i am indeed hoping this would be that but I'm bit hesitant as the cramps were very similar to af and I still feel them a bit but we shall see I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

OP posts:
HerringGull · 27/01/2021 14:05

Ohh exciting! Good luck both of you!

@Blossom37 do you reckon it could be cramps related to implantation then? A temp dip is a good sign that you've had your second oestrogen peak I think Smile I'm in my dip just now too! I usually get more than one day of dip though, so my oestrogen peak must be slooooowwww...
