@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow I'm trying to keep a sensible head and ignore any symptoms and refrain from testing. I got my hopes up last month and got really upset and disappointed.

Im about 9/10 dpo right now and im having watery cm, tingly nipples and sore boobs, thirsty, coffee is a bit hit and miss, iffy tummy but with my sensible head all of these things can be explained!

It's so hard not to just let your heart and head run away to that idea of being pregnant!

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 05/07/2021 09:42

@dbaby725 I know I'm still in with a chance, but I think it's probably unlikely. I'm just gutted because I had so many symptoms. For the past 2-3 days I've not even been able to stand up without major dizziness. I've also been bloated, nauseous and have sore boobs (well left boob haha).

@littlejalapeno I believe your body can try multiple times to ovulate. If you've had repeat ewcm it's probably more likely that you didn't actually ovulate the first time and your body is trying again. I know what you mean about the heart running away with you though, I'm the same

Hi can I join? Just started ttc number 2

Had ewcm and a bit of spotting 8 days ago,

Then had loads of early symptoms 3 days ago, fluttering stomach, needing to pee constantly, sore nipples (I’m still breast feeding DS, so really noticed this!)

Then on Friday had loads of ewcm again.
Other than an achy back all “symptoms” have gone. I know it was probably too early for them to ha e anything to do with pregnancy - but my imagination (and heart) did run away with me there! But also hearing everyone else’s early feelings has got my hopes up a little.

I am totally clueless if the first time was just a stomach bug or stress, if I actually ovulated twice but neither took… don’t really want to do opks as worry I’ll get obsessive like pps have mentioned… would be grateful to heart any experiences of multiple ovulation or if opks made a big difference to ttc? This is only month two of trying, but I am the wrong side of peak fertility…

Period due on the 13th-15th… am I a fool to live in hope?

dbaby725 · 05/07/2021 08:19

This is my negative.

6dpo - wait with me?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow

Stark white negative at 11 dpo this morning. Sad
Still not out yet though! Still early and lots of people don’t actually test positive until they’ve missed a period.

I’ve tested with a FRER this morning and it’s negative too but I’m trying to stay positive.

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow

Did an opk earlier (I've been doing 1 most days as I struggle to catch the positive so keep doing them just in case) and it was positive. From all other signs (cervical mucus, cervix position, cervix firmness etc) I'm 10 dpo today. I've had zero cervical mucus for the last 10 days, and none today. I'm going to dtd tonight in case it is a positive opk, but I've heard of them being positive if pregnant? I don't want to get my hopes up!!
I have definitely heard that opk tests can be positive if you are pregnant so there is a chance :) Fingers crossed for you.
dbaby725 · 04/07/2021 19:28

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow I am 10dpo today although checking another of my apps it says I am 9dpo so i'm not actually sure now.

I'll probably test again in the morning and then if negative, i'm going to wait to see if AF makes an appearance.

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 04/07/2021 18:27

@dbaby725 how many dpo are you? Are you going to wait for AF rather than test again?

@mummydoingamasters will you test? How many dpo are you now?

@Th197 what about you, will you be 9dpo today? Do you think you will test tomorrow?

I’m actually feeling glad that I have no tests left in the house as I was becoming obsessive over taking them. I’m having stomach cramps and generally feel off but who knows.

mummydoingamasters · 03/07/2021 12:01

@Th197 it's definitely harder to have self control when they are DO easy to get hold of 🤦🏻‍♀️
I use Flo too and mine says 8 days but my cycle varies between 26 and 30 days so it's just hit and miss when the witch will show her face!

Th197 · 03/07/2021 10:47

@mummydoingamasters oh its awful isn't it, I bought cheapies from amazon, but they say in the box to not text until missed period I'm like what kinda self control do you think I have 🤣 still test with them 5 days before AF. Although with the frers it does say 6 days before AF is due and my flo app says Im due in 5 days but I'm only 8dpo so I'm awful confused 🤣

mummydoingamasters · 03/07/2021 10:39

@Th197 oh thank goodness! I looked back and thought I was a bit rude!
I satisfy my urges with the cheapie packs from b&m 😂 although my self control is getting better!

Th197 · 03/07/2021 10:35

@mummydoingamasters don't worry I didn't take it bluntly. I've been testing too much think my OH is getting annoyed at how much!🤣

OP posts:
mummydoingamasters · 03/07/2021 10:02

@Th197 sorry, didn't mean to come across really blunt, I've been up since 5 🤦🏻‍♀️
I know what I'm like, but do you think you can leave it a few days and retest? I have to sit on my hands or I'll POAS every hour!

Th197 · 03/07/2021 09:50

@mummydoingamasters yeah, I know I'm testing to early. I was havingcramp like pains but they seem to have gone 😔 will try to leave it a few days

Hi I’m 6dpo today. I had some light spotting yesterday which was pink, had mild cramping and bloating and frequent urination from yesterday as well. I’m really trying hard not to get my hopes up, I had a mmc in January and I’m being investigated for low progesterone and high prolactin as I’ve recently had tests come back suggesting this, which I know can impact luteal phase. Is there anything else which could have caused these symptoms to avoid getting my hopes up?

mummydoingamasters · 03/07/2021 09:21

@Th197 it's still early. Are you having any symptoms? mine are 3 and 1 so it would be another small gap but I'm classed as 'geriatric' in pregnancy terms so have to get cracking!

dbaby725 · 03/07/2021 09:21

Yeah I think I’m going to wait now and try and leave it a few days. Fingers crossed for us all.

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 03/07/2021 09:19

Also 9dpo. Managed to hold off testing this morning. I "feel" like I'm pregnant which is annoying me because most likely I'm not tbh. I just feel tired, bloated, and irritated a lot, and have been having stomach pains since about 3dpo. I have never had pms before, and I felt like this when early pregnant with my 3yo. I just don't want to be disappointed if (when) I'm not pregnant so trying to wait to test.

Th197 · 03/07/2021 09:14

@dbaby725 I do see some people say they've gotten there lines in the evening. Fingers crossed for. We should leave it a few days 💜

dbaby725 · 03/07/2021 09:06

9dpo today. Literally got the faintest line last night at 10pm. Maybe it is just too early.

Th197 · 03/07/2021 08:59

@dbaby725 how many days dpo are you?

OP posts:
dbaby725 · 03/07/2021 08:56

I tested again this morning (4.30am before work) and nothing just a BFN. 😞
