@Bluelightbaby are u using opks? My app says I ov 1 day before I actually do. The days are strolling by way too slowly atm!

@Itiswhatitis2021 yes this was our first month using them - my generic period app is brilliant at predicting my AF but according to opks was out by two days with ovulation !

Sj2505 · 17/07/2022 14:10

I've convinced myself I'm out this month too. DH is convinced otherwise but they always try to stay optimistic for us don't they.

Hey. I'm 5dpo today going to test on Wednesday and Friday next week. Time really is dragging. Tender boobs now but I get that every month. Nothing else really to note a bit fatigued but I also get that every month. X

How is everyone feeling? Any tests or new symptoms?
I'm still convinced that my AI was too early, but I'm still really bloated and have started feeling a little nauseous, but the logical part of me is finding other things to cause it, I think that might just be an ovulation symptom though. My nipples are also very tender.

@Salpforyou welcome ❤️ I'm 4dpo got a good few days yet Shock

Is this your first time too?

@Sj2505 I've realised my peak OPK has this morning so my ovulation is likely after too. Can you try tomorrow or is there only one chance?

My donor lives quite far away. So I don't have another chance with him so unless I find a nice local last minute donor then that's all I have to work with.
My nipples always seem to be hard and they're quite painful too!

How's everyone feeling this morning?

@LeanneHoll @Bluelightbaby have any of you tested yet?! 🤞🤞🤞😊

@Itiswhatitis2021 yes - yesterday but with a simple one we use at work. Not sure how sensitive they are but BFN :( AF due on Monday so not over yet !

LeanneHoll · 16/07/2022 09:23

@Itiswhatitis2021 Morning!!!

I haven’t tested yet! I’ve woke up today feeling ok actually, still have some sore nipples lol. But less nauseas! And I don’t feel as tired as I have been the last few days! .. so maybe it’s not my month?!
move ordered some first responses so I mayyyyy test tomorrow!.. I am a little snotty this morning though. I’ve just no idea what to think. I’m convinced I had a stomache bug hahaha xx

I'm 2dpo... first time trying... dtd day before ovulation. I'm sooooooooooo anxious

LauraA31 · 15/07/2022 20:54

@Itiswhatitis2021 Ooo, i do have slight cramping. Feels like period aches but far too early in my cycle for period pains! That’s exciting!

@Sj2505 also, that could be implantation if you are 5dpo!

@Sj2505 thank u, just need to know like now so I know what I'm doing aaah

Sj2505 · 15/07/2022 18:42

I've just had a strongest pain in my left ovary area. Kinda made me freeze for a few seconds and grip my tummy. Only later about 10 seconds.
Surely it's too early for implantation. So I'm thinking maybe egg release, which will probably mean the AI was too early as that was Wednesday morning so it was 2.5 days before egg release 😕🤞🏼

Sj2505 · 15/07/2022 18:39

Oh @Itiswhatitis2021 I'm sorry to hear that! I hope everything works out well for you, whatever that might look like ❤️

Just realised that I've not been quoted any replies hahaha!

Same day as me I think was to @Longbin

Sounds promising! Fingers crossed for you. When will you test? was to @LeanneHoll and also.. love to hear that you've had successes with ai donor! I'm praying that it works for me, but I'm not sure if it was a day too early or not.

I always cave haha! How come this will be your last month.. if you don't mind me asking? was to @Itiswhatitis2021

I'll do it properly from now on haha

Hi, yeah ermm well to be completely honest me and my partner are not looking like we are going to last. This is defo my last month. If I'm not then I'm going to be making some changes and going to go on with working towards other goals. My daughter is 8 from a previous relationship so I'm kinda getting some freedom back and having a baby would I'm sure be tough. Especially as me and the dad might not make it! So if I am it's bittersweet but I'll still be overjoyed. He will be too he said. Will make it work. Ahh life!

@Sj2505 I also realised I had not done the quote thing haha!
yessss I have an 11month old, was conceived with a donor through AI! And it was my first attempt. I’ve done the same this time round, and it’s my second attempt! But yeah, feeling dreadful at the moment lol. Good luck to you too!
i have just ordered some first response tests actually! I may cave and test Sunday or Monday! Lol!

That's amazing - and very reassuring!
I'm trying to not even order any because I know I'll start testing too early haha.
