Just woken up with urge to wee and cramps !?
I am not a symptom spotter after over 1year ttc I gave up with that 😔
but something felt different now I’m too wired to sleep 🥲
T minus 2 days until testing

@Floralsandsmiles i see, 14 days is the standard. itll take the app around 3 cycles for it to learn your particular rythm so i would take its prediction very lightly.
@Mrsrobinsonx correct. Only tested because my bbt shot up instead of dropping.

Exactly @NatGee , which is why I think that the prediction is too generous.. I believe AF will arrive by Monday at 12DPO (if I'm unlucky and don't get a BFP 😔) xxx

@Mushroo hopefully we're both in for BFP's soon!! 🤞🏼 I'm probably going to do one more BD tonight then give it a little rest for a couple of days lol! It's been everyday for about 3 weeks as I haven't known when I'd ovulate. Xx

Mrsrobinsonx · 08/03/2023 20:19

@NatGee did you not get any symptoms before bfp? x

@Floralsandsmiles I am 18 dpo but I am a week past my AF date. I had another unopened test so I did that a few days later but Ive never been a serial tester anyway so not difficult for me to stop. Symptoms I'm getting are AF style cramps, insomnia, vivid dreams and back pain. Sore boobs were already there, theyve just remained sore. Is your luteal phase usually 14 days ? I think they are only considered short if they last for less than 10 days. By 12DPO you should know however it will still be early. Hope youre well stocked up on tests ! FRERs are so cheap on amazon now

Aww you're so good with not worrying about testing! Well done you!
Good to know on the symptoms 😊
I'm not sure how long my luteal phase is to be honest, it's my first month tracking it. I think I will come on AF on 11DP0 (maybe even 10DPO) however the predictor has me down for 14DPO xxx

@Floralsandsmiles still there, I think? thanks for asking. Starting to get some symptoms but ill be honest, I didn't get any in the lead up to the bfp. Will you test on Saturday?

@NatGee aww OK, how many DPO are you? Have you refrained for doing any more testing? (If you have, well done you!). What symptoms are you feeling now?
I'm going to try hold off till Monday when I'm 12DPO as I'm due AF 2 days after that (but I suspect I could have a short luteal phase, so could be before that..and more like Monday..) xxx

Good luck to all the ladies either in or entering their fertile period - may this be the cycle that those wriggly ones meet an egg!!

How are you @NatGee? How is your little bean? Xxx

@Mushroo yes I'm either 1dpo today or tomorrow too!
I'm not sure as I've ovulated around cycle day 28 so that's late for me. We have BD all throughout my fertile period though. We shall see.
I have my fingers crossed for you🤞🏼❤️

BDing all the way through is half the battle so you’re definitely in a good place!

Going to aim for tonight just in case then settle in for the TWW!

Fingers crossed for both of us! I had a dream last night i was pregnant but I think that’s just being optimistic 😂

lottieb92 · 08/03/2023 14:26

@Seasidegirll cycle 15 for us, and have been to the GP for bloods and tests the works.
they found I had polycystic ovaries (just last month) and I started some supplements for that and improving my eggs.
before that we had male factor and bad semen, however that changed drastically and is now all okay!

so it’s been SO up and down; this and that and so many different trials/ tricks.
im hoping within 3 months of this new supplement I will have my answer and if not we will be headed for private ivf 🤍

mummytoemilia · 08/03/2023 14:07

@Mummyme87 same! I'm ignoring symptoms this time also as I had loads last cycle and wasn't pregnant!! I was convinced I was

Mummyme87 · 08/03/2023 13:54

I’m 4dpo today. Not symptom spotting as after my two months off I had allll the symptoms that I would have associated with pregnancy. It’s all crap.
I say that…. However, I had loads and loads of white mucus discharge yesterday which I felt was unusual. However, I’m ignoring it all.

Ugh @lottieb92 i feel the same 😭 as each month goes on I get more and more and obsessed and worried that something is wrong! I know in the grand scheme of things, 7 cycles really isn’t very long but it feels like a lifetime! What cycle is this for you? I’ve changed my mind and I’m going to test Saturday morning, keep me updated!! X

Aww @Seasidegirll vent to us!I am worried there is something wrong too, so have bugged doctors for tests, as I'm over 35. I just wish I knew and could stop worrying! Xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles and @Seasidegirll
I’m with you and you’re both doing better than me holding off, I want to test Saturday so I can have a weekend to ease into a possible negative. I’m much better at distracting myself with nice walks and being outside then.. working from home after a negative SUCKS

With my sickness and inability to DTD on ovulation day I am feeling like it’s slipping away. But never say never as they say. Especially as in the past I’ve DTD text book and that didn’t workout for me either ✌🏻

sending warm positive vibes as we drag ourselves to 10/11/12DPO!

Aww @lottieb92 ! We are all in this together! Talk to us when you need to! I'd go crazy without you girls! 🥰💖 xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles literally everything has gone wrong for me these past few weeks so I can’t see any happiness coming my way anytime soon, think that’s why I’m not hopeful. X

Aww honey! I'm thinking of you and sending you massive hugs 🫂 💖 xxx
