Hi all! I'm currently 1dpo.. so officially in the last stage of this cycle! I should be due AF around April 19th, which happens to be my birthday! So I'm going to try really hard not to test until then. Anyone else around the same?!

@MrsGrealish the cramping is becoming so draining, like you said it resembles mild af cramps. Haha that moment when you're waiting for deliveries and they take forever😂

T4Opal · 10/04/2022 14:13

I’m going to try and wait until Tuesday to test I think!
@ArcEnCiel2022 I don’t think I ovulated last month because I had no ewcm no ov pains and my period ended up being 5 days late. Maybe due to trying and failing to ovulate and my body being confused and I also tested positive for covid at the end of the cycle so everything was messed up!

Like the test collections, I have a fair few of all different varieties too! I normally always go too early

MrsGrealish · 10/04/2022 13:51

I bulk bought tests from Amazon. Picked a Tuesday delivery because DH would not be there. He thinks you should test once when late. However bloody Amazon are too efficient and they are coming today. I'm like a mad woman staring out the window to intercept delivery😂

MrsGrealish · 10/04/2022 13:44

I have intermittent cramping today and yesterday. Only really noticeable when I'm trying to get to sleep. Boobs not as sore today either. Sort of know they are there sore but not painful. The cramping I don't like because it's like mild AF pain🥲

MamaMorg01 · 10/04/2022 13:36

@ArcEnCiel2022 how interesting! My cramps are intermittent too, it's just so strange, they've been there since around 5dpo!

Omg love the test collection!😂 I've literally only got one clear blue digi lol. You'll have to let us know if you test! I'll probably end up caving haha. My chemical was in Feb and I tested a day after my period was due but testing early just gives me anxiety😬 but then I'm low-key a POAS addict

ArcEnCiel2022 · 10/04/2022 13:25

@MamaMorg01 it's intermittent, and not very strong, I wouldn't probably even notice if I not paying too much attention like I do these days! What about you?
I was checking the tests I have in my drawer yesterday, and I have 5 cheapies, 3 FRER, 2 Tesco brand, and 1 clearblue digital, it should be enough for this month 😂
Like you I want to wait as much as I can, I'm tempted to try tomorrow, but if I can I'll wait at least Tuesday or Wednesday... Let's see 😅 when was your chemical?

MamaMorg01 · 10/04/2022 13:18

@ArcEnCiel2022 if you don't mind me asking, is your cramping intermittent? Or dull constant? I've just ordered some cheapie tests from Amazon, should be here tomorrow but I'm going to wait as long as possible😂 maybe test from Tuesday onwards, I have too much anxiety after my chemical - what about you??x

ArcEnCiel2022 · 10/04/2022 13:17

@T4Opal Welcome! Why do you think you didn't ovulate last month?

ArcEnCiel2022 · 10/04/2022 13:09

Hi all! I have quite a busy weekend which help me not thinking too much about all this (still thinking a bit about it of course 😅). 7dpo today, no real symptoms, just a bit of cramping... Not long before testing!! I haven't decided yet when I will do it... When are you thinking to test @MamaMorg01 ?

MamaMorg01 · 10/04/2022 12:41

Hi Everyone🥰

Sorry I've not been very active. How's everyone doing? Sounds like a few of you have symptoms similar to mine, it's driving me crazy and I want to test so badly!🥺 Just not sure if it's PMS or pregnancy related!

When is everyone testing???x

GoT1904 · 10/04/2022 12:04

Afternoon ladies 😁😁 6dpo here today and the day is going really fast for me! Only 4 days until I test. I'm getting a bit nervous about it now as I don't wanna be mega disappointed lol. But the days are ticking by :)

How are we all? Welcome @T4Opal. Xx

Hi @T4Opal you sound exactly like me. Actual heat is coming from my boobs but it's too early 🙈 welcome xx

T4Opal · 09/04/2022 20:57

Hello, I’ve been lurking as I’m due on my next period on the 19th too.
I admit we didn’t overly try this month as like OP it would be a Christmas due date and our daughter is already a December birthday. However we did dtd on cycle day 15 making me 6 dpo today. My symptoms have been sore boobs, strong nesting urge - I’m usually really messy but been wanting to do lots of tidying, and twinges in my womb area last night and today, maybe implantation ?!
This is the 3rd month trying but I don’t think I even ovulated last month! When are people planning to start testing?

GoT1904 · 09/04/2022 14:01

@MrsGrealish hahahaha I'm sure he'll be happy with alternatives 🤣

I'm doing okay with not obsessing, but then every now and then I get the urge to check MN lol. Xx

MrsGrealish · 09/04/2022 12:50

I'm at work and literally bored out of my mind. Not helping with the no thinking about it. I won't deprive DH but he might be open to alternatives🤣

GoT1904 · 09/04/2022 12:25

@Graceybaby no I thought the same! Hahaha. I will still be dtd though, but it did make me think about my possible egg haha. Have a great weekend!!

Seeing some good symptoms on here :D exciting! I'm 5dpo now, woooo. 5 days until I test. My nipples aren't tender now, so I'm happy, because if they become tender again I can get excited 😂 awwww some of you could be implanting right now.

I've a busy-ish day today so I'm hoping it keeps my mind off babies allllll the way till 6dpo tomorrow. But it probably won't lol. Xx

Have a lovely weekend! @Graceybaby

MrsGrealish · 09/04/2022 09:36

@Graceybaby enjoy your weekend xx

Graceybaby · 09/04/2022 09:13

@MrsGrealish Oo Cramps don't sound fun. I would prefer not to too just in case but I always said this time round I'd be more relaxed and put our relationship first, to me that means living our life as normally as possible.. I don't feel like I can expect him to have sex on demand and then restrict him for weeks 😅

Is it exciting thinking from this point something could be happening!! 😍

I'm going to try and have a weekend off the forum so I'll check in with you ladies on Monday! (That's when I'm going to break and probably test so fingers crossed!)

Have a lovely weekend ladies xxxx

ArcEnCiel2022 · 09/04/2022 08:38

I'd love a WhatsApp group! 🙂

6dpo for me too, no symptom really. At least from now something might happen!

MrsGrealish · 09/04/2022 08:23

@Graceybaby I'm actively trying to avoid DTD atm it gives me cramps which I think might annoy egg.

Going by premom im 6 dpo today. Slightly sore boobs slightly crampy and went off eating a steak last night which I usually like🤷‍♀️

Graceybaby · 09/04/2022 07:59

@GoT1904 that made me laugh 🤣 I managed to step away from Google for a good few hours yesterday so I was proud of myself 😅

6DPO today 🎉

Woke up feeling abit nauseous this morning but not sure if it's just the massive meal I had last night! 🙈

No other symptoms at all, no cramps or sore boobs ATM.. we DTD last night and that was abit uncomfortable.. my cervix was low and hard yesterday which probably doesn't help. All I could think about was oh my poor egg what if it's being thrown all over the place? Is that weird 😅🤣🤣

MrsGrealish · 08/04/2022 23:40

A WhatsApp group sounds really good @TTCBABYNO2xx I was on one before but bowed out after miscarriage xx

MrsGrealish · 08/04/2022 23:38

@GoT1904 @TTCBABYNO2xx and I bulk bought pregnancy tests from Amazon 🙈

GoT1904 · 08/04/2022 23:19

@TTCBABYNO2xx oooo I've got heartburn right now! Could just be the pie and chips I ate whilst out tonight. Not the healthiest haha.

I'd love a WhatsApp group! Hoping we see lots of BFPs here. I'm still part of my DS due date club and hes 12. We've had a Facebook group for 13 years and it's lovely.

I've done well not obsessing this aft but now DP is asleep I'm googling 5dpo as I technically am in 41 mins ffs! Xxx
