Halloween testers 🎃

@Harriet669 I didn't have a period with DS. Conceived 2 weeks off the pill... But I doubt you get 2 lucky BFPs like that! Poor DP, I'd been like ohhhh it'll take ages to actually get pregnant.

Oof 15 days is short. Is so crap having so little control over how our bodies work, isn't it?

Thanks for tolerating the essay I wrote about my boobs btw haha

@Billyv it too me a few months for my body to get used to being off the pill, but I've also read some people catch the month they stop taking, so fingers crossed it's that way for you 🤞🏼 yep I get that, I had 15 days cycles fo a while when I stopped the pill so the first 26 day cycle I wasn't even sad AF came, was just happy to have a relatively normal cycle!

@JuniperandI about 7/8pdo here too! Not noticed any new symptoms here apart from spots but I get spots anyway (teenage skin at age 28 😩) so not really new! What symptoms did you have yesterday?

Morning ladies 😊

Anyone elses symptoms come and go? I had a long list of symptoms yesterday but now they're just..milder (apart from irrational anger and being really emotional) I'm 6 or 7 DPO today so I know it's really early but I can't help symptom spotting!

@Harriet669 I think all that sounds fairly promising actually. I tend to get sore boobs each cycle, but I think they were extra sore the month I got a BFP - having said that, it's quite hard to remember what symptoms I had before I knew for sure I was pregnant as I tested very early. I think I felt pretty normal, sore boobs were normal for me. Lots of CM but that might have come after the BFP which was 8/9ish dpo...

My boobs don't hurt at the moment... Trying not to worry about that, although I do wonder if it means I didn't ovulate. It's my first cycle off the pill and I'm still breastfeeding, so even though I'd be delighted with a BFP I'm just trying to see a LH surge/possible ovulation as a win and hoping I have a decent luteal period.

@TI2411 ah that's so crazy! I've had some big really sore spots on my jaw line! I also started with sore boobs today though, looking at what I log, I get them for about 5/6 days before AF so looks like she's on her way

@Harriet669 it seems that way! Mine are 11 & 4 so I don’t remember my first that well 😆 but what I do remember is that I got horrendous acne all over my neck/jawline area. With my youngest it was just the missed period, no other symptoms until after AF was due!

@Roxybabe 🤞🏼 for sore boobs then 😂

@TI2411 ive heard from quite a few people that they're lack of symptoms of AF were their symptom, is that what happened for you?

@Billyv i didn’t have many symptoms at all with either of mine! My boobs didn’t start getting sore until a few weeks after AF would have been due! The only symptom was a missed period. Bit rubbish for symptom checking 🙄😂

I’ve never had sore boobs! Not even with AF! I would be so excited to get sore boobs 😂

Meant to say boobs 😂🙈

I love that we're all on the same wave length 😂

I do get sore bloods every month and I always think it's a sign, even though it's every month 😂🙈

I just had a poke as I was reading the thread then thought exactly the same 🤣😂

@Harriet669 yes! And then I'm like, oh actually they are a bit sore, that's good!

I definitely poke and prod mine till they're sore 🙈😂😂😂😂

@ChipAndDip haha I'm so glad it's not just me.

Actually I bet loads of us are walking round doing it...

Hello @Harriet669 and @TI2411 👋

How's everyone doing?

Only 3dpo here. I keep pressing my boobs/nipples to see if they are sore at all, as when I got my BFP with my son they were super sore not long after ovulation.

They're not sore 🤣 although if I keep squashing them, they will be!

@TI2411 did you have any early symptoms with your first two? Were they the same symptoms each time? If you remember

Can I join? 👋🏼 on the 10th cycle TTC #1, AF due 1st, but I will almost definitely cave abs test before then 😂

I felt quite relaxed this month, but now at only 8dpo I can't stop thinking about the frer test in the bottom drawer 🤣 I am really going to try to hold out until next weekend though... decided to ignore any symptom spotting, as I seem to have every premenstrual symptom under the sun every month, so that's not been helping my sanity. Hope everyone else is doing better at keeping themselves distracted during the wait x

I’d like to join too please 🥰 TTC number 3, currently 2DPO so wanting to test at 10DPO on Halloween 😊
I took my last mini pill on the 12/10 so I’m unsure if this month will be my month or not! 🤞🏻
baby dust to you all..

@MendaciousMabel ooh well done getting to almost 10dpo without testing. Willpower of steel!

It’s so hard isn’t it 😂 @ChloeN I’ve got a busy week at work so I’m gonna try and rest today and then stay as distracted as possible lol!

@MendaciousMabel id try hold out! (If you can🙈) so much nicer seeing a dark line if you wait a bit longer xx

I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus this morning! Feel absolutely shocking despite sleeping for 9 hours. Woke up a couple of times and had mild cramps. I’ve cried 3 times already this morning. I just want to hide from the world! I deffo get low before AF is due but I don’t normally cry and feel so crap! I’m 10dpo tomorrow so not sure whether to do a test or wait til maybe Wednesday when hopefully it’s a bit clearer if this is all AFs doing. Sorry for rambling - I don’t have anyone to talk to about it!
