Hello I believe I’m 7/8 dpo anyone else in their TTW?
Trying not to test early! AF due 16th but might use an early test in the 13th as we are meant to be going to visit DH sister in the weekend

@Overthinker247365 this is our first time trying and C3 I can’t really say I’ve got symptoms as because of my dads sudden death I haven’t been eating or sleeping properly.
I went on a big walk with DH and had a take away and felt sick ever since, been off food and had bad taste, loose stools only in the morning and bad lower back pain. But this could because I’ve been sitting and laying down a lot where in work I’m on my feet all day.
One of my friends fell pregnant quickly and only did a test because they were going away the weekend and didn’t have any symptoms at all.

Waiting for 3 more days is such a pain I’d rather just know Grin

@Jujules20 thank you lovely, your words help. I was completely convinced last month I was because of all the symptoms. Hmm the taste thingy, I had like a nasty bitter taste the other day almost like I put acetone in my mouth. Went by the next morning. Any new symptoms for you?

Overthinker247365 · 13/10/2021 10:59

@Bambi11 I know, you are right. I just hate having all these horrible symptoms that I don't usually have before AF and it's driving me mad, almost like my body is plying some horrible tricks on me. I do usually get some cm before AF but only a couple of days before but this time round I haven't exactly been dry per say, but last two days I've had a lot as though AF is here. We aren't "trying" more like going with the flow, with our first it was like military mode and I will be honest I didn't like it. So this time the mindset is if it happens then thank god if not then when the time is right it will. But I'm a woman right? Lmao I can't help but obsess about it because we managed to bd on ovulation day. 🤦🏽‍♀️ tww sucks. How are you getting on lovely?

I dont know.
I have 5 kids. All conceived on first try. But Im 36 now and afraid it wont happen anymore

Bundaberg84 · 13/10/2021 10:18

@Apr6 I love this site here: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=9
Only around 50% of all pregnant women will get a positive test by 9dpo. It makes sense as most implantation will happen around 9dpo, so you won't get anything on a test yet. And you can have a late implantation up to 12dpo, so you won't get any hcg by 12dpo yet.

Jujules20 · 13/10/2021 10:18

@Overthinker247365 don't despair just wait till Af sings or not. By the sounds of it am thinking you have many positive telltale signs 😀
Am still breast feeding so it's easy for me to mistake any symptoms as positive. What is persistent is the wrenching and sweet taste in mouth. Af is due on 17th so we'll see

Bambi11 · 13/10/2021 10:15

@Apr6 it’s horrible waiting isn’t it but you’re not out till AF arrives, sending you baby dust.

So glad i found u guys. I am 9/10dpo
I poas this morning showed nothing Sad
I really had high hopes it happened since I was gagging a few times this past week whilst brushing my teeth.
Just wondering if i tested too early and it could still be, or just face reality.
Af is due like on the 18th

Bambi11 · 13/10/2021 09:37

@Overthinker247365 my take is you’re not out until AF shows up! Have you been trying long?

AF is due Saturday and (TMI) I normally get pink streak in CM around now or tomorrow which lets me know I’ll be out x

Overthinker247365 · 13/10/2021 09:36

Thanks lovely for replying back. Losing my mind. I don't have any shooting pain just very sore, when my little girl leans in I flinch every time. My lower back is killing more so today than yesterday and also had tmi sorry lots of creamy cm (yellowish tinge) this morning, I honestly thought my period came super early. Covid has completely messed up my cycles, I had a double period in August and then a 19 day cycle after. Kind of fed up and feel hopeless atm. How are things for you?

Jujules20 · 12/10/2021 21:50

@Overthinker247365 well when I was pregnant with my dd( she's now nearly 11months old) I had ovulated on the Wednesday and on Friday had sharp pain in only one breast which went away after 3 weeks when stronger symptoms appeared . I mentioned it to my mum and she thought that it was curious. I just new I was pregnant. Tested 13dpo and I was right. Also noticed I had more Montgomery glands than usual even before testing so check them out too

So you could well be on your way for a Bfp

Overthinker247365 · 12/10/2021 21:06

Hey ladies hope you don’t mind me hopping on? Kind of losing my mind a bit. I am pretty sure I ovulated on the 2nd because it was very peak on the opk and got a tad lighter the next day. We managed to bd on the 2nd. Now, what mind boggling me, is I never get sore boobs this early like literally 2 days after ovulation and it hasn’t gone away, I initially figured okay maybe down to extra progesterone or something but it hasn’t shifted, I had cramps for a few days after ovulation too and then it stopped, I got bfn yesterday and today 😞 but it’s still early as I’m only 9dpo not due till the 20th. Thing is that threw me off today, was while having a lovely sandwich that I was drooling over, I just felt overwhelmed with nausea and had to stop eating. I’ve had a stitch like feeling on both sides of my tummy like I’ve ran a marathon. I don’t feel like it’s going to be my month but I dunno deep down I have some hope that it may be.

KJ1994 · 12/10/2021 19:41

After yesterday's weird stopping then stopping and today waking up with a crazy backache...I think I'm way over thinking signs.

@MegAnne83 that cracked me up. I needed that today. Lol

Bambi11 · 12/10/2021 13:03

@Jujules20 I’m the opposite to be honest the more I read the more I’m not just hooping every little thing is a sign.

I’m not that hopefully now but we’ll see

[quote Jujules20]@MegAnne83 that seriously made me laugh thank you![/quote]
Haha I'm glad 😊. I really hope you get your bfp this month after your sad losses. Keeping my fingers and nose crossed for you!

Jujules20 · 12/10/2021 10:15

@MegAnne83 that seriously made me laugh thank you!

WaitingForEgg · 12/10/2021 09:51

I’m CD28 or 9/10 days post ov and having cramping. Pretty sure I’m out again this month. I’m not sure why I expected any different as it’s now been so long trying. But I did opks and I’m pretty sure I caught o, on a weekend of just me and Dh relaxing so plenty of sex at the right time. So I think it raised my hopes a bit.

@Bambi11 not testing early. I used to but I’ve done so many I now just wait for AF

@Bundaberg84 DH had a normal semen analysis, I’ve had normal day 21 bloods (though it seemed of be borderline). I have an ultrasound and more bloods next month and an app with the consultant 1 week after. I’m sort of hoping something minor is wrong that can be fixed, as at the moment I’m losing hope massively. Really sorry to hear about your ectopic. Fingers crossed and baby dust!

MegAnne83 · 12/10/2021 09:32

Thank you, I feel like even joining mn is making me 'feel pregnant'!!
I blew my nose to hard this morning and there was a tiny bit of blood, and I was "ooh implantation spotting" then mid thought realised it was the wrong end!!!!

Bundaberg84 · 12/10/2021 09:24

Hi @MegAnne83 and welcome! I thought the first cycle was the worst really. I had so many symptoms. I think it was actually the first time I focussed so much on my body. I was off the pill for many years as I had bad reaction to a new one I got prescribed, so it wasn't anything new to me. But wow, the weird thing my body does each month. Crazy. Fingers crossed for you!

MegAnne83 · 12/10/2021 09:17

Morning all. I'm new here, joined yesterday after wanting to post on a really lovely gender scan post!
I'm 38, newly married and stopped the pill on 22nd August. This is the first cycle ttc, and the first ov that I have tracked. We dtd around ovulation day.
I'm now 6/7 dpo.
My body and brain is going insane with all the symptoms I am experiencing, but I'm also very aware that it could just be my body adjusting to regular hormones after being on the pill for many years.

Anyway just wanted to say hi and get myself started on a thread as it's a good way to pass the tww!!

Hope you are all well

KJ1994 · 12/10/2021 07:12

@Bambi11 I have not like this. So I really hope this one is the one.
@Jujules20 thank you!
I'll be crossing my fingers for both you as well!!
The wait can seriously drive someone insane I swear.

Jujules20 · 12/10/2021 06:59

@KJ1994 that sounds very much like implantation bleeding! Thinking of you these next few days xx

@Bambi11 your sister is right. I find the more I read or spot check the more anxious it seems so I prefer to tune into my body's signals and see where they lead me to. I had a chemical in august so I know am fertile
Am convinced that when it's a good zygote it will stick

Bambi11 · 12/10/2021 06:51

@Jujules20 I knew I’d be like this, I just love all the info I can get from here, YouTube and books. Sister keeps telling me to just relax and hitch isn’t easy at all.
Woke up with pre period cramps which I’m gutted about.
I’m only holding out hope now as my BBT hasn’t dropped yet!

Bambi11 · 12/10/2021 06:47

@KJ1994 I’m so sorry you e been though it Flowers
Read a lot and brown spotting is such a good sign, do you ever have this before a period? If not it sounds like implantation, fingers crossed for you

OP posts:
KJ1994 · 12/10/2021 06:26

I feel all of this right now. It's seriously has me up past midnight laying in bed googling and beyond. My partner and I have had a rough year trying to convince. We have been through 3 miscarriages since February. Sad fast forward to today/yesterday I do believe I'm 9dpo. I felt just like junk most the day and actually ended up getting sick. Later in this afternoon I had some super light rust colored spotting when I went to the bathroom. (sorry TMI) it seems to be gone now however..soooooo I'm thinking this could be implantation bleeding??
TWW drives me crazy. (Insert face palm emoji).
