@orchardmuma

Hi *@LifesAnItch* that makes me feel a lot more hopeful, thanks! I also have PCOS, was on yasmin, as the acne was extreme, but I’ve been doing fine since stopping. I am doing OPK’s yeah. I got a positive on 9th May, so I assume now I’m around 7/8 dpo.

I was thinking about getting some first response tests to test around 9/10dpo. I have HCG trip tests here but I’m not sure they’d pick anything up

FX for you 🤞🏼 Xx

I'm the same, I think I'm 8dpo today so going to test with a FRER on Friday (10dpo).

I've had EWCM on and off since O but this morning I had loads! I used an IC OPK just to check but the second line was faint so not sure what's happening there. I usually only get EWCM for a few days around O time and then it turns creamy/sticky as I approach AF.

I'm keeping everything crossed for you! Looking forward to seeing everyone's squinters and blazers x

[quote Youholdyourpower]@tiffanyarchiebump I felt really nauseous last night - i'm currently 7dpo. I'm trying not to symptom spot too but it's so hard.[/quote]
It's sooo difficult to not. I know when I am pregnant as had recurrent MC so I know I can get there just if it's viable. Hoping this is all of our months ❤️❤️❤️

Ames94 · 19/05/2021 10:03

@tiffanyarchiebump @Youholdyourpower
I told myself i wouldnt symptom spot and what happens happens in its own time. But its so difficult isnt it.

Youholdyourpower · 19/05/2021 09:49

@tiffanyarchiebump I felt really nauseous last night - i'm currently 7dpo. I'm trying not to symptom spot too but it's so hard.

tiffanyarchiebump · 19/05/2021 09:23

I'm around 6/7dpo and I have never felt so nauseous as I do this morning 🙃 don't want to symptom spot but 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Ames94 · 19/05/2021 09:19

Hi girls!
Im roughly around 8dpo (according to the average calculations).
Symptom wise i had one big cramp lasting a few mins (assumed to be ovulation).
Today headaches on waking but also noticed my uterus area has been bulging over last few days, anyone else had this or is it me making things up?
Its usually very flat.

Robss · 19/05/2021 09:18

@CTMcG are you using one of those ovulation test. I did because I got my coil and have no idea what my cycle is like haha. I know it’s very unlikely we will get lucky this month but I’ve given myself 3 months before I agree to surgery for my endo, so i’m hoping I get lucky haha.

Robss · 19/05/2021 09:14

@Mum233 that’s annoying are you going to try another in a couple of days? AF due around Tuesday for me and trying to hold off as long as possible, tests are so expensive.

CTMcG · 19/05/2021 09:13

@Robss this is only my first month ttc#1 and if af comes early probably means i missed ovulation. Literally only 2 weeks today since we started ttc so i really cant be sad about it lol xx

Robss · 19/05/2021 09:11

@CTMcG aww I’m trying my best to hold off until Sunday. I think AF due around Tue but maybe be later. This is my first cycle off the mirena and I know it can take sometime for your cycle to normalise.

That’s a positive sign that it may be getting a bit more regular which should help with ttc but still hopefully you get surprised.

CTMcG · 19/05/2021 08:20

@Robss i stupidly took a frer this morning, wasnt even first pee and its negative and i am gutted. Feel like af is going to show up at any moment and it will be 4 days early. Only off the pill since Dec and so far my cycles have been 42, 42 and 34 so i guess the positive on it showing up earlier than 34 means i am becoming more and more regular rather than thinking i had irregular periods my whole life (went on pill at 18 when periods were painful and irregulr and only came off it at 30) xx

Youholdyourpower · 19/05/2021 08:20

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.

Mum233 · 19/05/2021 08:02

Can I join? AF due Monday. Stupidly did a test yesterday at around 6/7 days past ovulation and through there was a line but negative today so not sure. Arrrghh!

Robss · 19/05/2021 07:57

@CTMcG Yes, I’m the same trying to not get my hopes up so it’s easier to just move on to the next cycle but even then I’m still finding myself overly invested. I wish I could just be one of those people that are like let’s just see what happens.

CTMcG · 19/05/2021 07:13

I am now 10dpo (according to flo) or 8dpo (according to crying with pain last Tuesday) and i think i am out. Af not due to next week but this morning i woke up with dull back ache and lots of white cm (tmi). I know im not out to af shows but if i convince myself im not pregnant then am will be better than thinking im pregnant and being heartbroken when af comes. This TTC malarky is so mentally hard lol xx

LifesAnItch · 18/05/2021 21:26

Hi @orchardmuma

I conceived first cycle with DS so you never know 🤞🏼I'm hoping for a repeat this time but not holding my breath as didn't manage to DTD as often as we should.

Are you using OPKs? I've never had any signs or symptoms of ovulation so would be lost without them. I also have PCOS.

When are you planning on testing? Best of luck to you! The TWW is agonising but also exciting 🤩 x

orchardmuma · 18/05/2021 21:10

@LifesAnItch i'm around 7/8 dpo and the wait is killing me! Its my first time ttc and not holding out for a bfp as that would be pretty flukey. Struggling to separate what could just be pms/ovulation symptoms vs pregnancy symptoms. Only came off my pill in April, so not felt ovulation symptoms for a long while to know what to expect

Chascha18 · 18/05/2021 19:51

Sooo, today I'm 8dpo and the cramps are getting worse so af could be around the corner although my boobs are feeling heavier compared to the usual pre-period stuff 🤔

tiffanyarchiebump · 18/05/2021 19:48

[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]
Oooo fingers crossed it really is there! I thought I would be good this month but @5dpo even my partner got a test out the cupboard for me to do 😂😂😂 think I'm rubbing off on him haha

Trinacham · 18/05/2021 17:42

4DPO here, 1st cycle trying! Now I know how hard the TWW feels, and it's only my first go..

Robss · 18/05/2021 17:38

Hiya, I’m 7dpo of our first month and very much overthinking everything, I did not think I would feel this anxious waiting. Had spotting on 5dpo and some light cramp but really it it could be nothing. Itching to try an early test but also know it’s most likely too early anyway.

LifesAnItch · 18/05/2021 17:26

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

Anyone else 6/7dpo?

@Rowboatsmummy awwh that really gives me so much hope. thanks for that.Smile. It's looking like it might be good for you with the line. Did you take another one today? Hopeful for you ..

@CTMcG I did the same and tested too early. I really was feeling every sort of symptom and i was hoping this might be the cycle. I have never wished my life away this much. I can't wait for the weekend to test again. Hope AF doesn't show up before then.

9/10 dpo - Symptoms for today are headache, and a very funny sensation in my boobs. I can't call it pain as such - it comes and goes, a bit of an ache but more inside (than the usual I read on hear of nipples and sides).Smile

@LifesAnItch - how did you get on with your test this morning?

Hopeful for all of us Smile
