BlippyMoose26 · 21/01/2023 17:23

Okay so today im 6DPO.... got some on and off low cramping, on and off headaches feeling constantly tired and just no energy, some thick white CM,my cervix is soft and higher up and just a general mleh feeling. Ive notice too the past 2 days my lower stomach is bloated a bit gassy and this sounds weird but when i bend or anything it feels like my tummys in the way so to speak. Know its WAY to early to test and trying so hard not to symptom spot yet just hoping this is my month. Anyone else in the same boat ?

6DPO buddies please ?
Shellbabz · 23/02/2023 10:18

Yeah I’ve done them everyday apart from Monday and they have been negative, it’s sooo hard not knowing, because like u said sometimes it says ur CM increase after ovulation and others say it increases when u are ovulating 😂😂 xxxx

vitahelp · 23/02/2023 10:12

@Shellbabz I would keep doing the ovulation tests just to be sure, but it is possible to have stretchy cm after ovulation so you may have already ovulated last week as you thought. It’s so frustrating not being sure isn’t it. Keep doing the tests and let us know xx

Shellbabz · 22/02/2023 17:02

So the last 3 days I’ve been having quite a bit of stretchy, clear CM, not everytime I go to the toilet but a couple times a day definetly. I did another LH test this morning and it was negative. My surge was Thursday/Friday so do u think I’m only ovulating now? Xxxx

vitahelp · 22/02/2023 16:46

Hi ladies, glad a few of us have checked back in. It’s nice to have others to go through it with. I got my progesterone blood test results today and all is good. That means all my tests are normal now, so it should eventually happen. DH is having his tests in April, really hope I am pregnant by then. 9dpo today and feel quite normal, fairly tired but have been busy with DD on half term so probably just that.

6DPO here. Not much to report tbh. I was a little moody this morning and my LH has risen slightly but nothing else. Keeping my fingers crossed and trying to remain calm and active but I’m not sure this is my month. Still early days yet though

Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

7dpo here today still not really feeling much other than the odd twinge here and there but still not feeling 💯 having this cold so maybe that's just hiding my usual symptom spots haha damn thing .... Uffff

How's we all doing anyone else got their BFP yet ? Think this month as I've not really felt anything I'm going to find it easier to wait longer before testing but we will see haha x

Awww bless u that’s really good hun I’m keeping fingers and toes crossed for u 🤞 when’s AF due for u? Yeah our timings are looking good too this month because of using those LH sticks 😍🤞 xxx

vitahelp · 21/02/2023 13:16

Hi ladies! 8dpo here and feel a lot calmer this month not recording temperatures after ovulation. I’ve got my progesterone blood tests tonight so will see soon if all is ok. I’m off this week with DD for half term and we’ve got lots planned so it’s really helping to keep my mind off symptom spotting etc.

@Shellbabz I’m glad you’re feeling better and that’s great that you’ve managed to DTD with good timing! Our timing it looking good this month too so have done all we can.

Shellbabz · 21/02/2023 11:03

hi lovely’s so we are all Covid free again yaaay! We managed to get 3/4 Deeds in over my surge and ovulation days so im 3dpo today, let the 2 week wait begin again🤞😂😍 how’s everyone today? Dxxx

Oh also, TMI, I also woke up 3 times and I felt sooo horny like my bits were pulsating 🤣 I NEVeR get horny or have felt like that. My boobs are still sore, still getting tummy twinges/ little cramps and yesterday felt like a dull ache in my back. My head is going to explode

Don't give up hope just yet your symptoms do sound promising ... It's so cruel that pregnancy and pms symptoms are pretty much identical.

11DPO is still very early I've heard people not getting a BFP until 14DPO+

I had many of those symptoms on my 1st cycle too you just have to try your hardest to tune out a little so you don't over think it's so hard to do but saves a lot of stress and upset when you get BFNS xx

I took another test yday and this morning both at 5am and they are BFN. I’m 11DPO and I’m so confused. Been getting such bad night sweats (I occasionally get them but last night I had them 3 times..) I also had 2 really vivid dreams, nothing related to pregnancy at all more like nightmares about me not being okay and not being able to see/ open my eyes properly. Am I just going psycho or what 😅

@BlippyMoose26 how are you doing lovely? I’m 2DPO at the moment. Based on my strips I ovulated later than expected 🙄🙄 I had some cramping earlier and I’m having to remind myself it’s too soon 😂😂

Hi Hun in 5DPO according to my premom app .. I'd like to say 0 symptoms but I've noticed a few lower right abdominal twinges and yesterday I had.some.bloody CM but I'm talking the.tiniest minimal amount of watery/creamy/mucus with the smallest amount of blood. Farrrrr to early for IB so I don't wanna get my hopes up...

How are you feeling xx

@BlippyMoose26 I think it’s easy to get wound up in it all when it’s all new. I think getting a BFN wasn’t the worst thing because it’s made me slow down a bit and relax. It sounds silly but it’s made me aware that we could be trying for a long time so I need to pace myself and not get flustered by it all. Fingers crossed this is our month though!!

Know exactly what you mean x

I got a BFN this morning and actually didn’t feel disappointed, just felt like I can chill and take the pressure off for a few days. Might just be all in my head and be PMS or too early to tell as I’m 9DPO. I used a frer and still have one left so if I need to use it in a few days then I will. Either way I weirdly feel more relaxed in knowing that even just for now I have an answer, if that makes sense..?!

Yep it makes complete sense 9DPO is still very early implantation may not have even happened yet average day is 8 or 9DPO so your still in with a chance. Sending you all the luck x

@tpdwe don’t be too disheartened if it’s a BFP!! It’s such early days at 8DPO to really know for sure. Your symptoms are sounding quite promising. I just know that last cycle i really got in my head thinking for sure it had worked (had pinching in my hips all the time, quite tired etc) and it wasn’t the one.

I’m also having quite an uneventful month. I should be about 2DPO but I didn’t peak until yesterday so I actually I think I’m ovulating around now or have just ovulated in the last day or so. I just took an OPK which is now low so I think my peak is over. We DTD on Valentine’s Day, and fortunately got last night in as well. We had a really awful chat yesterday about DH feeling quite pressured last month (it was our first month trying so it was all new and confusing and felt like it was all go) so he felt frustrated that I seemed to be wanting to DTD too much and he just struggled with the pressure. Tbh it was awful for me too as I didn’t want to force him. We’ve talked it out now and are much better for it.

This month we’re generally just going with the flow. Keeping up with vitamins and I’m trying to be more active. I’m not overweight but I am WFH and I literally sit at my desk all day apart from walking the dog. We’re not feeling as stressed or pressured though this month. DH isn’t feeling great today so I’m glad we got in Tuesday and Wednesday as he’s in bed poorly. Going to just keep DTD every 3 days or so until AF arrives just incase I’ve ovulated late or something.

We were exactly the same last month I think it's a normal thing on your 1st cycle to want it all to happen in one go. We've done the same this month gone with the flo and see what happens .. I think I'm just not as tuned in this month as last now the 1ar cycle jiggers have gone ... Fingers crossed for us all this cycle x

I’m giving in, going to town to see if I can get frer or something. I know it’s early but I just want to know 🙃

vitahelp · 16/02/2023 15:02

@BlippyMoose26 Oh no, I hope you're feeling better soon! 3 dpo here and so weird you say that about not feeling ovulation, because I'm exactly the same. I usually feel sore & crampy the day after and can definitely feel that I've ovulated but this month nothing. I know I have ovulated as I've seen a clear shift in temperatures. I've decided not to carry on temping this month though now I've identified ovulation, there isn't really any benefit to it and it has got my hopes up the last couple of months.

2DPO today .. Let the symptom spotting begin🤣🤣🤣

This month seems to have quite uneventful so far ... Last month I felt ovulation etcetc this month other than a few twinges here and there I've felt absolutely nothing ?!! So not holding my hopes up yet. Woke up this morning with a stinking headache and feel a bit cold/fluey so generally just feeling mlehhhhhhh 😑

How is everyone else doing so far x
