Hi, I'm 0dpo, cycle#1, TTC#2.
I'm about to start the hideous TWW and wondering if anyone else is currently in it too and wants to band together for moral support?Star

Morning everyone, turns out it was AF and she came with a bang! I had a really stressful month, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Moving on to next cycle now, we're going on a holiday in early Aug so that should keep my mind of things as it's coincides with TWW.

@Sunshine0987 good luck with testing!! keep us posted, I hope you get your BFP xx

Sunshine0987 · 18/07/2022 08:21

@LauraA31 @TheCakeIsALie18 thank you! Going to test first thing tomorrow with an FRER. Even DH definitely thinks I am because I've been so weird 🤣 so we'll see, fingers crossed.

LauraA31 · 18/07/2022 08:19

@Sunshine0987 good luck!!! 😅

TheCakeIsALie18 · 18/07/2022 08:18

@Sunshine0987 thanks!

Ooh I've got everything crossed for you! When are you going to test? I had loads of symptoms last cycle that were obviously made up by my head lol. Doesn't mean to say yours are though xx

Sunshine0987 · 18/07/2022 07:35

@TheCakeIsALie18 good idea to have a few days off! Good luck again this cycle 😊

I'm still holding out to test until tomorrow morning, which will be CD29 and maybe around 12DPO. I'm feeling a lot of early pregnancy symptoms but still worried it's all in my head!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 17/07/2022 23:08

Evening ladies. I hope you've all had a good weekend and haven't sweated yourselves into a puddle 🥵

I've had a few days away from all things pg related while AF has been here. CD4 today, I'm a lucky girlie to only have 3 days of AF, and getting ready to face DTD in this heat in a day or so 🤣 I O on CD15/16 usually.

Going to start OPKs from CD10 this month and get the ball rolling...again... fingers crossed this time!

I wish all of you still testing the best of luck. I'm glad this group is now actually active after I was in it by myself haha xxx

Itiswhatitis2021 · 17/07/2022 17:58

@LauraA31 that's when I'm testing - Wednesday I'll be 8dpo it's a bit early but u never know. Will wait a couple of days after that 🙈

LauraA31 · 17/07/2022 16:16

@crossword233 im probably going to start testing Tuesday/Wednesday. It will be early at 9/10DPO but AF is due Saturday so don’t think it can hurt! fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Sunshine0987 · 17/07/2022 14:43

@crossword233 yes I think so - I have the FRER tests ready and waiting in my bathroom 😂

I don't think it's too late for implantation spotting - some things I've read say it can be around the same time as you would expect your period which is why it's such a confusing symptom!

I had another surprise symptom appear today - I burst into tears at a comment my DH made which is usually harmless banter and the poor man didn't know what to do 🥴

crossword233 · 17/07/2022 11:35

@Sunshine0987 hang in there! I think you could test on Tuesday if you use an FRER? It's so tough not to symptom spot, so far I had nausea, increased smell and what not, still no sign of a BFP 🤣 Time will tell!

Had some spotting this morning only when I wee, I'm around 14DPO (I don't temp so idk the actual O date), do you reckon it's late to be implantation bleeding?

@LauraA31 Aw bless you! When are you planning to test? We have lots of twins from my mum's side, my DH is shitting himself 🤣🤣🤣 I keep teasing him about it just to wind him up.

LauraA31 · 17/07/2022 09:09

@crossword233 morning! I’m not doing too bad, hope everybody else is okay too!

I am 7DPO today and woke up with an urge to test, went to the bathroom and was invested in mumsnet and forgot to take the test haha! Thankful i didn’t do it as im too early!

Im super moody, really agitated and boyfriend can’t do right for doing wrong. My sense of smell is stronger, he came into the kitchen this morning snd I was in the living room and i could smell mouthwash!
Yesterday had the worst congestion too, could be the season though!
My shoulders are aching too, super painful on a night!

Other than that, nothing much has changed other than heartburn which is making me feel sick on a night 🤷🏼‍♀️
boyfriend keeps joking about twins, they run strong on mums side of the family, skip every other generation and grandma and others before her have had at least two sets…. Ive told him to keep quiet 😂

Hope everybody is well!! X

Sunshine0987 · 17/07/2022 08:45

@crossword233 doing OK thanks, have had a busy weekend that's kept my mind off things which has been nice. App is saying 2 days until I can test so might be able to do Tuesday rather than Wednesday? My main symptoms at the moment are very weird and sensitive boobs for a few weeks as well as occasionally very light waves of nausea... but at this point I could be making it up because I really want to be pregnant 😅

crossword233 · 17/07/2022 08:20

Morning everyone, how are we doing today?

MarmaRell78 · 16/07/2022 13:55

Oh ladies I'm with you! It is so frustrating!! Fingers crossed for you all.
You have so much patience holding of testing, I wish I was more like you @Sunshine0987 !
@crossword233 same here - I've done a few tests and I'm squinting, holding them up to the light, but so BFN!
I've got a terrible migraine today, which hasn't happened since I was pg last time, but can only be about 9dpo so I guess it's too early still even if I was.
I think I've got too much spotting tho and AF is on its way... Since Monday a little bit every day (tmi but it's every time I go for no2... Don't know what that means?!)
God I hate waiting. Also no idea when AF is due as sure I ov early. So 🤷‍♀️

crossword233 · 16/07/2022 13:46

@TheCakeIsALie18 @Sunshine0987 thanks xx another BFN, not even a squinter on it!! I ordered more FRERs this morning, I'll keep testing every day until the wicked witch shows up. I wish she'd just do it already if I'm not pg, this wait is killing me.

It's really hard holding out and not testing, I don't think our DH's understand that 🤣 Try and wait until 12DPO if you can xx

Sunshine0987 · 16/07/2022 08:33

@crossword233 good luck with your next test! I'm now CD26 and around 9-11 DPO (I think). Desperate to test but my Ovia app is telling me to wait until Wednesday and everything I've read is telling me it's still very early to be testing. So I'm going to try and stay strong this weekend and wait. As my DH says, it doesn't change the result by waiting a bit longer (although he is very logical and I am baby obsessed so it doesn't make me feel much better 😂)

TheCakeIsALie18 · 15/07/2022 10:15

@crossword233 thank you lovely. I've got my fingers crossed for you this cycle ❤️❤️🤞🏻🤞🏻

TheCakeIsALie18 · 15/07/2022 10:14

@LauraA31 thank you.

Yeah, I need my smear too but have been waiting for the + or - Push it back a little over a week because if AF arrives you'll probably want to wait until after that. I'm going to see if I can get mine this coming week.

LauraA31 · 15/07/2022 09:49

Morning all!
Thought id drop back in and see how everybody is doing. @TheCakeIsALie18 im sorry about AF!

Im 5DPO today, i know im far too early to be considering what could be happening in there but im strangely calm and feeling super patient with myself.
Doctors have pushed me to book in for a smear next week, i told them im TTC and they didn’t seem concerned. On the day of the smear I will be 10DPO- considering ringing and pushing back until i know if AF is going to arrive. Doctor told me they can’t do the test if im pregnant but didn’t seem too fused to wait to find out 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hope everybody is keeping well! X

crossword233 · 15/07/2022 07:11

@TheCakeIsALie18 I'm so sorry AF arrived xx Fingers crossed for the next cycle.

BFN this morning with FRER (I'm 12 DPO). I'll test again on Sunday if AF doesn't show up before than.

TheCakeIsALie18 · 14/07/2022 18:26

Thank you ladies. I'm feeling positive, if a bit disappointed. We are looking forward to the fun of trying again 😏 it's been too hot the last week or so haha. My next O is due hopefully after the end of this heatwave haha. 🤞🏻 fingers crossed for a bean next month xx

Sunshine0987 · 14/07/2022 16:20

@TheCakeIsALie18 oh I'm so sorry AF arrived! Onwards to the next cycle 💕

natasia22 · 14/07/2022 16:00

@TheCakeIsALie18 Ah sorry to hear that, but as you said knowing your body is back to normal with cycles is good! Hopefully next cycle 🌈!

Itiswhatitis2021 · 14/07/2022 14:59

@TheCakeIsALie18 yes as u say your cycle has been reset so that's a huge positive. It's disappointing every month getting a neg but I always believe everything happens at exactly the right time x

TheCakeIsALie18 · 14/07/2022 11:47

So AF showed her face out of the blue..... gutted.

But at least that's my cycle reset after the CP. Staying positive. On to the fun of trying this cycle xx
