alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 07:12

@Hayls07
Congrats!!!! ✨✨✨
It’s good to keep it a secret the first couple of months :))
Throw some baby dust our way pleaaase!

Day 7 or 8 post ovulation here, woke up with some dull pain in my lower abdomen. It won’t go away :)) I feel it where the blue dot is. The internet doesn’t want to show me an actual photo of where the implantation pain occurs :))

Hayls07 · 10/12/2021 05:26

Hi girls, hope the tww is treating you well! My Af is due Sunday, but I tested with first response Tuesday, got a very faint line, tested again Wednesday and Thursday night with again FR and tried asda early detection, and its confirmed my BFP! I was gonna keep it a secret until xmas day for OH but got carried away and ran straight to him! Symptom wise, I had cramps yesterday and lower back pain, nausea, no sore boobs or implantation bleeding, never really saw a change in CM, keep hope ladies! Sending baby dust to you all Xx

Justkeepswimming20 · 09/12/2021 21:12

How's everyone getting on..i'm about 11dpo..slight change in CM and occasional cramping..no major..i didn't have any spotting in my pregnancy..has anyone used the hcg strips for earlier testing? I might on the weekend as due on 14th!

frenchie4002 · 09/12/2021 18:43

Good luck @newjourney21 xxx Let us know!

newjourney21 · 09/12/2021 18:30

AF due tomorrow 😬 so far no day before headache which I almost always get so keeping my fingers crossed šŸ¤ž

Waldoyle · 09/12/2021 16:46

@BabyBird20 maybe so. Best of luck this month šŸ¤ž

BabyBird20 · 09/12/2021 16:36

Thanks @Waldoyle, I had a flashing smiley on Monday which went static on Tuesday so don't think it could be implantation yet. Just seemed strange as never had it before! Maybe from dtd too much over the last four days 😬

Waldoyle · 09/12/2021 16:27

@BabyBird20 hi, I've never experienced ovulation spotting. Is it possible you ovulated earlier than you thought and that's implantation bleeding? Usually occurs 6 plus dpo so maybe timing is off.

BabyBird20 · 09/12/2021 16:25

Hey ladies, bit of a tmi question but has anyone else had ovulation spotting before? I've never had it but am 2 days post ovulation and have just noticed I'm spotting. No idea if it's normal or not! I don't think it can be a sign of anything as way too early surely? Knew I'd drive myself crazy this month!

Decaffe · 09/12/2021 13:47

Hi all, 6dpo here. Really trying to chill out this month and not read all the threads every day but thought I’d check in. Had my first fertility clinic phone call, seems like they want to do lots of tests but I’m hoping for a miracle in the meantime.

Speaking of symptoms, the past two months I’ve had what you would swear are implantation cramps, enough to make me gasp out loud! But each time, AF has arrived as expected.

I did have a chemical a few months ago, looking back the only symptom I had was getting unexpectedly emotional/teary when I saw my lovely nephews - at 6dpo - but equally this could just have been nothing! I’m certainly not feeling emotional today, just tired and a bit fed up Grin

Best of luck to everyone testing this week Smile

alexalexalex18 · 09/12/2021 13:19

@Cmacq32 that’s the best way to go through this :))
@Waldoyle sending hugs and good vibes!

Waldoyle · 09/12/2021 13:14

Hope ye don't mind me joining in. I was due af yesterday. Still no sign, bfn this morning tho. Had loads of symptoms this month but I'm afraid I can feel af on way. Crossing my fingers

Cmacq32 · 09/12/2021 13:09

@alexalexalex18 I imagine it's hypersentive body relationship at play isn't it!
Nothing so far here, but at 7/8dpo I wouldn't expect much. I've never had a positive test untill CD29 ( 2 positives @13 days po, 1 @ 16po) so who knows! I recon I will give it a week and see what happens šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž I'm ignoring my body untill it gives me a BFP šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

alexalexalex18 · 09/12/2021 12:54

@Cmacq32
How' it going? Any symptoms?
I'm feeling very lightheaded but again, I don't want to think it's related :))
Been eating so much this week and literally just carbs

Tor88 · 09/12/2021 11:29

@alexalexalex18 ah good to know thank you!!

@2019Mama welcome :)

2019Mama · 09/12/2021 11:21

Hi hope you don't mind me joining.

I'm 27 my daughter turned 1 a couple weeks ago and I think it's the right time to try for another.

I have very irregular periods where I wouldn't get AF for upto 6-8 months so when trying for #2 I used opks and went by CM and positioning and conceived a month after my MC.

I'm part of FB groups from both my pregnancies and they're still going strong and are a great network of support, so thought I'd join another page again whilst trying.

alexalexalex18 · 09/12/2021 10:41

@Tor88

Use as many as you can, I'm always afraid I test too late :))

Tor88 · 09/12/2021 10:29

Fingers and toes crossed for you @alexalexalex18!! I am on ttc cycle 2, AF just finished so I've got another week or so before ovulation. This will be my first month using LH tests and trying to force DH into dtd at the right time which is going to be an interesting process for us both I think šŸ˜…šŸ˜… Baby dust to everyone xxx

alexalexalex18 · 09/12/2021 10:11

Hey girls,
How's it going?

Day 6 or 7 post ovulation for me, no symptoms.
Had a headache last night and vivid dreams (no idea what's this related to dreams, I forgot where I read about it).
I feel some tenderness in my left boob :)) but that can happen anytime I guess.

Was reading about CM that it has to be thick and white after implantation, do any of you ladies who were pregnant before ever experience this?

I am using progesterone vaginal capsules so I can't tell, each morning I see lots of the capsule on my pad and it sometimes drags on after showering, throughout the day 0 working from home so not very active.

Just spilling my thoughts here so I won't go cray cray :))

Hope everyone is alright!

alexalexalex18 · 08/12/2021 15:23

@Cmacq32
We tried last month but I think we missed the fertile window because I drink lots of water and pee lots so it’s difficult to catch the surge.
Hoping this month I get lucky

Justkeepswimming20 · 08/12/2021 13:55

I am on the 4th cycle! Not due AF until next week..but may start testing on the wkend! Have a little CM but don't think it's significant..lets see...

Glago2017 · 08/12/2021 13:53

9dpo, no real symptoms, is anyone experiencing any? X

Cmacq32 · 08/12/2021 13:44

@alexalexalex18 it's so tough not to worry about i!! How long have you been trying (sorry if this discussion came up already). We are only on TTC 2nd month so I'm hopeful it might happen over the next few šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

frenchie4002 · 08/12/2021 13:32

@Billymay thank you Xxx you too! At least we can keep each other company in the wait ahead. I wish I wasn’t due AF so close to Christmas but I suppose I can drown my sorrows easily enough if this month isn’t to be! How’s the situation with your other half?
