Hi all just creating a new thread since the other one is almost full!!! Really really hoping this is our month, but not hopeful, DH is away with work for most of my FW and only comes home the day before I think I will ov. I've also injured my back!!!

@iloveeggs I know! It's so unhelpful to have them be so similar! Yeah I'm definitely not myself right now.

iloveeggs · 18/10/2022 15:30

@CheeryCupcake Why does PMS have to be so similar to early pregnancy symptoms 😭I'm also the most emotional, crankiest & irritable person at the mo too 🙈

CheeryCupcake · 18/10/2022 15:24

@iloveeggs I've been exactly the same, and similar symptoms, plus horrendous hormones to boot. 10/11dpo and BFN this morning so who knows what's going on. I feel like I must either be pregnant or having the worst PMS of my life!

iloveeggs · 18/10/2022 14:20

I'm 8 DPO and I swear I feel pregnant, but then again it was the same last month.

Cramps, sore boobs, fatigue, nausea.

Too afraid to test too soon.

kizzy97 · 18/10/2022 14:10

@MendaciousMabel I know the feeling! Every twinge or difference with my body and I'm sat thinking "ooo, maybe?!" I drive myself bonkers every TWW 😅😂

CheeryCupcake · 18/10/2022 13:46

@TulipVictory I've only been tracking for the last couple but they've both been exactly 23 days.

shibeshibe · 18/10/2022 13:37

@MendaciousMabel hahahaha it's terrible isn't it 🙃 just so hyper aware but I know I probably had these feelings before but didn't notice as wasn't actively TTC

MendaciousMabel · 18/10/2022 13:10

I'm 4dpo and I've never been so aware of my body in my life 😂 noticing every little niggle and twinge. I know it's too early for implantation so won't be anything just yet. Hard not to notice things though!

kizzy97 · 18/10/2022 11:35

Dtd one more time hopefully tonight and then pretty confident I'll have definitely covered it 😬 roll on the 28th!

TulipVictory · 18/10/2022 10:53

@CheeryCupcake how short are your cycles ? I've never actually tracked my ovulation so don't know how short my luteal phase is. Last months cycle was 27 days but the month before was 23! 😩 my cycles are anywhere between 21-28 normally

CheeryCupcake · 18/10/2022 10:33

10/11 dpo and another BFN this morning. AF due tomorrow (short cycles) so I guess we'll see then if I'm out....

ScaredSally · 18/10/2022 06:51

@Butterflygirl23 i am and no nothing (minus a bit of heartburn but that's not uncommon for me)

Butterflygirl23 · 18/10/2022 06:22

Hey is anyone 7/8dpo and have any symptoms as of yet?

shibeshibe · 18/10/2022 06:18

@Sparklythings1 we can make it through the next few days together 😄

ScaredSally · 18/10/2022 06:13

I've woken up 2 days in a row with heartburn and I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up that it's due to early pregnancy hormones

Krisnov2020 · 18/10/2022 04:43

Hello. Hope okay to join. Currently ttc baby no. 2
Coil removed last week so god only knows about my cycle. Currently awake with cramping.

Sparklythings1 · 17/10/2022 23:01

@Sunny1986 I didn’t get one til 12dpo last time so you’re definitely still in with a decent chance.. maybe tomorrow morning you’ll be lucky 🤞🏼

Sparklythings1 · 17/10/2022 23:00

@shibeshibe same as me, I’m letting myself do one on Saturday 🙄😂

Sparklythings1 · 17/10/2022 22:59

@Baby3herewego it’s very weird how you can keep it a little secret, people can look at you and have no idea what you’re doing in there 😂 used to blow my mind!

shibeshibe · 17/10/2022 21:36

5dpo here and already driving myself crazy with symptom spotting, even though I know its too early...promised myself to hold off any tests until at least the weekend 😅

821k · 17/10/2022 20:28

kizzy97 · 17/10/2022 14:48

@821k everything crossed for you xx

Thank you @kizzy97 we did the deed again tonight we have done it twice now since I misscarried so 🤞we get our rainbow 🌈 baby soon xx

Baby3herewego · 17/10/2022 19:44

@Sparklythings1 not feeling pregnant yet but then again, I didn’t with my first child either. Xx

Sunny1986 · 17/10/2022 19:35

10dpo today and took a cheeky early test - negative. I got my first faint positive at this stage with my son so was secretly hoping for the same! Also had a bit of bleeding today... feels too late to be implantation. AF on her way early? Hmm

Butterfliesandroses · 17/10/2022 19:26

Hi! I hope it is okay to join, I am on CD12. AF due 1st November. 1st cycle TTC second baby following a miscarriage in August 2021, which knocked me for six! Fingers and toes crossed for everyone here xx

Sparklythings1 · 17/10/2022 19:11

The big giveaway for me when I was pregnant with my first was the crampy/heavy feeling that almost felt like it was in my cervix. A weird way to describe it but it was like there was pressure on it. 5dpo today, the day it first started last time, and I’m convinced I can feel it again. AF could turn up early so it could just be that but I’m just going to be walking about all week acting pregnant then see what Saturday brings 😂
