Also what tests are everyone using? I got some cheapie ones off Amazon

Cheesestring19 · 13/04/2021 09:12

I'm suppose to be due tomorrow but got a bfn. No spotting creamy discharge feel wet gassy and sensitive veiny heavy boobs. Hardly any period pains that I usually get. Maybe I ovulated later. I hade ewcm from the 30-3. Only dtd on the 31st. No holding onto much hope. My last pregnancy intested positive 6 days before a missed period! Plus only had 3 periods since coming of the pill in December. Between 26-28 days. Just wanna know now!! Lol

@Kty09 it is so difficult waiting!! I'm half tempted to ask you to test early just so I can get my poas fix courtesy of someone else hahaha!! How many dpo are you again?

Gnashaloulou · 13/04/2021 09:04

Soooo.... I had a rummage this morning and it seems my cervix is low and open. I also have creamy cm and with the cramps and mood and everything else I am definitely convinced AF is imminent. I'm not out until she rears her ugly head though so still holding onto a tiny bit of hope lol!

Kty09 · 13/04/2021 08:58

Not too late ladies try again in a couple of days 🤞🏼 I’m determined to hold out but don’t know how long that’s going to last 😂

Gnashaloulou · 13/04/2021 07:47

@StarL2021 I haven't started monitoring my ovulation days because we are supposed to be taking the relaxed approach to ttc (yeah right haha!!) The apps I use suggest I am either roughly 3dpo or 9dpo...a big difference but i do feel as if I am the latter going by my symptoms etc. My last cycle was only 23 days and like you I also feel as if af is on her way. I've got the tell-tale cramps this morning and generally feel grumpy. Very typical for me just before period. I am currently cd20.

Sorry to hear about your negative result too. Here's hoping we get our bfps before too long!! Xx

StarL2021 · 13/04/2021 07:34

@Gnashaloulou sorry for your negative. Do you know roughly how many dpo you are? I have tested 7dpo and I have a negative result too. I'm so annoyed today as I feel like my period is coming. Cramping and moody and sore boobs.

Morning ladies! How is everyone feeling today?

I caved in and tested this morning. Of course it was negative! I had a dream last night that I got a positive test, I think that filled me with false confidence.

I am feeling crappy today...I always break out in cold sores when I'm feeling run down and this morning I have woken up with a lovely one. I also noticed last night my chest has become really spotty and my boobs have broken capillaries over them. Still not really having any breast discomfort though which is the main reason I am convinced it isn't my month.

I'm planning to leave testing now until next weekend. That will make me about cd30. Without knowing how many dpo I am there is really no point in getting myself down with negative result after negative result.

StarL2021 · 13/04/2021 06:37

So I tested today 7dpo... and it was negative. Why do I torture myself lol

Kty09 · 12/04/2021 21:03

@StarL2021 its mad trying to guess what is and what isn’t a potential symptom 🙈

Feel like I’m picking up every little twitch in my body 😂

StarL2021 · 12/04/2021 20:36

@Kty09 no this would be my second!! I don't remember having nipples these sore though so it's probably my period coming lol

OP posts:
Kty09 · 12/04/2021 20:31

@StarL2021 they seem hopeful symptoms 🤞🏼 Would this be your first pregnancy?

StarL2021 · 12/04/2021 18:11

@BloodyHellAudrey I hope this is your month!

@Anonapapple eeeek! I've had a heavy sensation down below and burning nipples. My luteal phase is very short so expected spotting today but instead had lots of discharge.

OP posts:
Anonapapple · 12/04/2021 17:12

And the top and backs of my legs have been cramping today too. Let's see!

Anonapapple · 12/04/2021 17:11

Right ladies, I dont care if I sound crazy or silly! This may be my last ever tww: if I'm not pregnant from our little contraception slip up, we will look at more permanent birth control. So this is my last ever tww, whether I am pregnant or not! So, I'm going to go all out symptoms spotting and peeing on sticks until I either get a BFP or my AF.

About 40 minutes ago, I got a very deep burrowing sensation in my left pelvic area, quite low down. It lasted about 10 seconds. It could be nothing, it could be something but it was very weird! However, I think I am 6 dpo. Our slip up was a week ago and I think I ovulated the next day, going mostly by my app and some physical symptoms.

I'm going to test on thursday or friday as I had a bfp by 10dpo with both my kids.

BloodyHellAudrey · 12/04/2021 15:02

Jumping in at 5dpo, only usual tww symptoms here. Been TTC since December 2019. Bfp in July 2020, lost DS2 at 21+4 in November. Chemical pregnancy in January. Fingers crossed for this cycle.

AllyCat31 · 12/04/2021 14:54

Thanks @StarL2021

@BloodyHellAudrey I’ve not heard of women taking that, only men to increase their spent count. I’ll look into and maybe give it a go - I feel like I’m quickly entering the “throwing everything at it” phase and it’s still so early TTC 😂 thank you

BloodyHellAudrey · 12/04/2021 14:50

@AllyCat31

Right, I think that’s me out for this cycle. I hoped the spotting I was having was implantation but its too heavy so has to be AF. That’s 5 days earlier than all my apps have said and earlier than any other month after ovulation. Ive ordered some Soy Iso to hopefully bring ovulation forward (it was CD35 this time) and also vitamin C to take after ovulation as I’ve read it can help thicken the uterus during the luteal Phase - still taking Seven Seas TTC and have a pretty good diet so not too worried. It was only cycle 1 for me but I still feel incredibly sad. I know my OH is pretty upset. He had got it in his head that we were going to be lucky. Good Luck and Baby dust to everyone still in this month 💜
I'd really recommend CoQ10 for ovulation. I am a late ovulater, and spent much of last year not ovulating at all. I take 600mg of CoQ10 a day and I've noticed a difference. I also take 100mg of b6 and b12.
StarL2021 · 12/04/2021 14:35

@AllyCat31 sorry to hear that. It's so disheartening every month that goes by. I hope next month is the month for you.

@Kty09

Aw that’s lovely!! 😊 my OH still thinks we are taking the relaxed approach little does he know how much I look into things haha 😂 I do get the ‘just wanting to see if it happens’ but it just seems impossible 😬 I think I’m not going to track next cycle if this one is unsuccesful - I just found it good to find out the first two cycles I ovulated CD10 then this month was CD12 so I kinda knew we DTD at the right time this month x
It is so hard not to become completely wrapped up in it isn't it?! I have been trying to watch out for the clues by checking cervical mucous/position etc and find myself questioning every tiny symptom haha! But I am still none the wiser.

I think I might just do a few months of opks just to see what's what. I'll just not tell OH otherwise he will be accusing me of becoming obsessed... Grin Wink

[quote Kty09]@Gnashaloulou have you thought about using ovulation strips? If you are unsure it could be a good idea to pin point ovulation and give you a better understanding and chance of catching the right time x[/quote]
I have been tempted and I am sure I will cave and use them next cycle. Even if it's just to get to grips with what is going on down there. Tbh, we vowed not to actively ttc and start getting upset and frustrated if it didn't happen; we both have children from previous relationships and at 38 I thought I was done with procreating! My youngest is 10. But we would be very happy if we did get pregnant. I really didn't want to become obsessive about it but alas! Here we are!! x

Hi all! Can I join! I am in the 2ww but not sure exactly how many dpo. I am really new to this and have very little clue what my body is up to...I use fertility trackers but with a pinch of salt as my cycles have been a bit all over the place since I came off the pill in December.

According to Ovia I ovulated couple days ago (cd17) but my Samsung Health app tells me I ovulated around cd11. My cycle was 18 days January, 36 days February and 23 days March. So basically I have absolutely no idea what dpo I am!! I am in the 2ww somewhere though haha.

Not holding out much hope this month though; we only dtd on the 31st March and 6th April Blush. Had a bout of nausea over the past week on and off, feeling shattered all of the time. Had the odd cramp here and there...but nothing that convinces me I've conceived unfortunately. Sad
