@hollie29x yayy!! Congratulations ❤️ xxx

@kirinm fingers crossed this is your month, I’ve been having some mild cramps as well on and off. It’s so annoying that early pregnancy, pms and general life seem to have all the same signs haha

Robss · 19/05/2021 21:26

@hollie29x Congratulations!!!

[quote Rowboatsmummy]@BebeBelle I did take an FRER today and convinced myself of a wee squinter but I honestly don't think proper line!
I'm only max 9dpo though so who knows 🙈 It is agony!
How are you finding the TWW[/quote]
@Rowboatsmummy awwh the TWW is such agony. When I started this journey I thought I would be so chilled out about it but no. Everything I go to the loo it's like torture - the fear of whipping and seeing AF.
Hopeful for that wee squinter becoming something hun. I think we are not far off each other with our cycles Smile

@LifesAnItch

Hi *@BebeBelle* I didn't even get a squinter 🧐😂 I'm only 7dpo so knew I wouldn't, don't know why I bother..... just incase 🤪

I ordered some Easy@Home cheapies as heard they're slightly better than OneStep and they arrived today so I'll be having a test-a-thon over the next few days!

I didn't have any symptoms at all before getting my BFP with DS, only spotting 2 days after O and a sharp, stabbing pain in my left side that lasted a few second at 6dpo. I'm guessing that was implantation. I haven't had that this time tho (so far) x

@LifesAnItch that's good that at least you can compare with your first. I have not tried the Easy@home ones. I might do. I got so obsessed on my last cycle I was testing with fmu and in the evening. I got a BFN over the weekend so waiting for this coming weekend. 3 more days to go Smile

Anyone experiencing flu like aches? Feel like death warmed up first thing and on evenings before bed :( is it a sign?

@birdbybird personally, I'd test with a FRER. They are sensitive to 6mlu. I tested positive on one at 9dpo but didn't get so much as a squinters on a 10mlu OneStep strip test until about a week later x

Ames94 · 19/05/2021 15:17

@birdbybird have a look how many mIU/ml it will test positive at. Iv found some say 10mIU/ml others 25.
So the 10 ones i assume would show up a faint line sooner.
Also on the covid jab side of things they have advised it in pregnancy now (i know not everyone would want it still).

birdbybird · 19/05/2021 13:54

Question, can I expect to get a faint line on a non-frer at 9 or 10 dpo? Or do I need to buy a frer? I have a Covid jab on 10 dpo and was curious to know before it.

Ames94 · 19/05/2021 12:17

@youholdyourpower agreed being a health care professional is not helping anxiety right now and all common sense goes out the window.

Youholdyourpower · 19/05/2021 12:06

[quote Robss]@Youholdyourpower yeh I think I’m probably going to hold off until the weekend, maybe Sunday morning. AF could be due Tuesday but could also be sightly later that week so want to try and not do it earlier.

@tiffanyarchiebump yes it’s so strange isn’t what are the chances haha[/quote]
@Robss @tiffanyarchiebump

My AF is due next Thursday so I think Sunday will be a good day, I'm keeping an eye out for any bleeding (I know it's still early) but just in case! Fingers crossed for all of you TCC!

Such a stressful 2WW, and as a mental health professional my anxiety has sky rocketed in the past week, I've not helped the matter! So stressful not knowing!

[quote Youholdyourpower]@Robss I have no idea! I’m in the same boat as you, never had it before so for me it was very strange! Me too.. feeling things that maybe aren’t really anything.
When do you plan on testing? I’m thinking to maybe on the weekend when I’m 10/11 dpo[/quote]
Omg I have the heartburn thing too!! I never get it either. Nothing changed diet wise too. So weird we are all experiencing the same symptoms we haven't before lol xx

@Youholdyourpower

Hey! I’d love to join if possible! I’m currently 7DPO and have just had the worst nights sleep. Insomnia! Here is my day by day:

2dpo - heartburn (which I never experience) and nausea
3dpo - heartburn
4dpo - dull cramping
5dpo - dull cramping
6dpo - nausea so bad I didn’t want to eat

I know a lot of this could be related to progesterone but it seems different to my usual cycles.

@Youholdyourpower is heartburn a common thing. I had heartburn the past 2 days and I never get it and my diet hasn’t changed recently. I tried to google but couldn’t see anything about early signs. Again think my brain is just trying to see things that don’t mean anything.
Robss · 19/05/2021 10:38

@CTMcG haha exactly, I was like we will just be mindful of things like ovulation but I’m gonna try not get wrapped up in it all and hope for the best. That’s lasted like one day.

Youholdyourpower · 19/05/2021 10:35

@tiffanyarchiebump @Ames94
So difficult! Just tried having some coco pops and literally tasted like it was watered down. Not sure if that’s a sign.. haven’t had any metallic taste yet which I have been reading is a thing!

CTMcG · 19/05/2021 10:28

@Robss no i havent tracked ovulation as i have pcos and wanted to try for a few months first being relaxed about it (ha - relaxed😂😂) if i dont fall pregnant next month il start tracking in July x

kirinm · 19/05/2021 10:28

Can I join? I'm 6 or 7dpo I think. Didn't OPK as we've been trying for well over a year now and I'm trying not to get too caught up in it all.

Feeling quite crampy but have done since ovulation this month.
