CD1 here, starting a new thread for those who are hoping to get a BFP in May for a January/February baby 🥰

This is my cycle 3 trying for #2. I've got an 18mo old son.

@RBSK1 hopefully we can try to keep each other sane for the next few days! Have you tested so far this cycle/when are you planning to?

I know I’m being silly, but my symptoms have all been so strong and so unusual (cramping was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before and in completely the wrong place for any early AF type cramping) that I was convinced I’d be able to see even a vvfl by now, trying not to overthink it though!

RBSK1 · 01/05/2022 11:53

@Steph149 sounds exact same as me. AF due Thursday but don't know if I can wait. I've had nausea on and off since 5pm then suddenly stopped. I never get cramping until cycle day 26 at least so I'm living hopefully!

Sassy144 · 01/05/2022 11:27

@Decaffe thank you lovely. I had cramps in my tummy and lower back, bloating and feeling tired. All felt quite similar to af approaching though. Indigestion now and then too!

LemonZestDribbles · 01/05/2022 11:14

@JRoseC I'm so sorry I can't see anything. It is still early though

@allthingssparkly eeeek sounding promising. Everything crossed for you

@Sassy144 yay! Congratulations 🥰 🎊

@Purple29 no :( I hope you feel better in time for something. Take care of yourself

Opks went very high yesterday afternoon and I'm pretty sure peak this morning. Got our last chance to dtd tonight before dh is away but I think we've given it our best possible shot so far 🤞

Hi everyone, hope you don’t mind me joining in!

On 5/6dpo started getting really unusual symptoms for me. Started with cramping and twinges and almost like a sharp drumming sensation in my uterus, followed by a weird bubbling/popping sensation behind my belly button and cramping that was moving around all over my lower abdomen. The cramping went on intermittently for 2 days and was completely different to anything I’ve ever experienced before. Been having light cramps sporadically ever since.

7dpo I was on a night out with work and couldn’t face more than 2 sips of my wine. 8dpo, woke up feeling like I had an awful hangover despite not drinking. I was so tired, had a really sore head and so nauseas I was actually sick. I’ve also been horribly bloated and had a really full feeling in my stomach since around 7dpo.

Currently 9dpo and stupidly tested this morning using an internet cheapie and bfn, trying to resist the temptation to try again today because I know it will be the same answer!

I know I should try to hold off until Thurs (AF due Fri), but not sure I’ll manage!

Decaffe · 01/05/2022 11:13

@Sassy144 That’s amazing for 11dpo, congratulations!

Did you have any TWW symptoms?

Harriet669 · 01/05/2022 11:04

Jumping back on after waving off another AF, just catching up on the thread!
@Sassy144 congratulations 🎉

Purple29 · 01/05/2022 10:50

@Sassy144 congrats.

I think I'm out for May. Just starting my FW now and norovirus has come to our house. DH is just getting over it and I'm just starting!!! Cant see much sexy time happening!!

Sassy144 · 01/05/2022 05:21

I woke up at 4.30 and couldn't wait any longer...ahhhhh!

Congratulations!

@HansBanans I haven’t but I did use the boots strip ones and found them good! Others may disagree though. You are right clear blue are so expensive!

allthingssparkly · 01/05/2022 07:25

Your welcome 🥰

Sassy144 · 01/05/2022 07:08

Thank you @TeddyBeans @allthingssparkly !! Xx

allthingssparkly · 01/05/2022 06:57

Ahh congratulations @Sassy144 😍

I was up at like 3am this morning, couldn't sleep 🙈 awake for an hour then finally managed to go back to sleep!

I will definitely get a test either today or tomorrow @TeddyBeans 🥰🤞

TeddyBeans · 01/05/2022 06:37

Thanks so much @HansBanans 🥰

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 21:53

@allthingssparkly that makes sense! Well I'll have everything crossed for you 😊

allthingssparkly · 30/04/2022 21:45

I haven't got any tests in @HansBanans however I can nip out and grab one this weekend, didn't want to have them in earlier as I would of tested 🙈🙈 because I've none at home the temptation isn't there 🥰

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 21:40

@allthingssparkly do you have an early test? Tomorrow is only 2 days before AF. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

allthingssparkly · 30/04/2022 21:32

Feeling all the emotions tonight, so close to AF arriving (3rd May) but I'm torn between testing this weekend or waiting till the 3rd 😬😬😬

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 21:26

Thanks @Izzyboo1234, I hope all is well with you x

Does anyone have experience or the clear and easy early tests you can get in Poundland/Home Bargains? Clear Blue are just so expensive!

Hello

Very new to this, but find these threads very helpful.

Would really appreciate a fresh set of eyes on this.

4th proper month of TTC and this month I've felt a bit funny and had some really minor spotting which I thought may have been ovulation bleeding..

Did a test today, if OPKs are accurate I'm 6/7 dpo. Dunno why I tested so early, but got this...

Is it evap or faint positive?

Would really appreciate your opinions.

I can see a faint line but I am not sure if it is an evap one, it might be worth getting a FRER or a clear blue! Good luck!

lyra12 · 30/04/2022 19:17

@JRoseC I would say that's an evap from my experience, those ones are awful for it 😩😩
