OMG those cramps sound intense! When are you going to test next??

I was going to test tomorrow morning (period due tomorrow) but temp dropped from 36.6 to 36.4 this morning which is still slightly above normal (36.3) so think I'm out this month😕 12dpo today so think it's too late for implantation dip :( sending baby dust to everyone 🤍x x

emmatcc1 · 29/05/2023 22:53

@Sealover123 Yeah I had sharp pains on my left side for about a week and had some af cramping and back pain yesterday and today now my right side is feeling a bit tender.

Sealover123 · 29/05/2023 22:50

@LeopardLover @chlx3 sorry I forgot to tag you in my responses above!

@emmatcc1 yeah it sounds like it! Have you? I've just had a bad lower back pain but not really prickling or frontal cramping.

emmatcc1 · 29/05/2023 22:32

I feel like everyone here is getting these stabbing pains this cycle.

@teaontap21 Since I started tracking bbt I figured my luteal phase is a day shorter than I thought. What I like about it is it confirms ovulation so you know exactly which day it was and since my luteal phase always stays the same I know when to expect af.

Sealover123 · 29/05/2023 22:27

I had a prickling sensation when I conceived before! Where is the prickling located?

chlx3 · 29/05/2023 22:26

I've just had the worse cramps EVER. Had sex then had such bad cramps I was sick. Never felt anything like it. And still no period which is due Wednesday. Anyone ever had this? Honestly, it's what I imagine the start on contractions to feel like🤣 IT HURT SO BAD. It's not pcos as I've been checked for that but I've been cramping everyday for a week and then that happened and to be honest it scared me🤣🥲x

LeopardLover · 29/05/2023 22:21

So, I've just had (and still sort of have) some prickling type cramping. It's really weird, nothing like period pains or IBS. I don't remember this last time, but it's quite sharp! Has anyone else experienced this with implantation? Hoping it's a positive sign!

@Amy95 yeah it's normal to have difficult days! Give yourself a treat (snack, face mask, bath) and get a really good sleep. You deserve it! 😊

My oh made me some food bless her and run me a bubble bath 🥰 I'm feeling alot better so nice sleep now , speak to you all in the morning , night night ladies , as us welshy say nos da 😘 xx

Sealover123 · 29/05/2023 21:30

@Amy95 Aw bless, please don't test so early! Lol ❤️ Easier said than done when you want that BFP so badly. Lots of women don't show as pregnant until 12-13 DPO or more in some cases! It just puts stress and negativity on yourself.

Testing so early is just setting one's self up for "failure", like a horrible self sabotage if it's BFN.

I'm not talking down to you or being harsh, I just hate hearing lovely women being hard of themselves when they are trying with conceive. I pray it happens for you soon! Take care of yourself xxxx

@chlx3 I noticed you got quite a bit of sun the other day, could it be a heat rash??

Aw thankyou ❤️ I need a speaking to 9dpo I am 😂 I know I was expecting a bfn but I'm over emotional today , I'll be back to normal positive Amy tomorrow just been a long day , I won't be testing until 12dpo now , thankyou so much 🥰xxx

What does everyone use to measure BBT?? I haven't used it before but it just seems so useful! I had no idea that you could tell so much from it.

Amy95 · 29/05/2023 21:03

Oh I love a bit of retail therapy 🙌 that could be a good thing I hear many women have no symptoms and still get a bfp 🤞 this could be your month I'm rooting for you , yes I'm a early bird I wake about 4.45 in for 6 oh the joys , what time will you start work , so even on weekends I think I sleep till about 7/8 the latest my body clock 😂 no don't give me permission because I'll be testing tomorrow 😂 I may wait 2 more days then I'll definitely know xx

Thank you! This was me when I conceived my son, other than some cramping but I really want to feel something 🤣

Oh wow, that is early! When do you sleep? Hopefully you're asleep already 😉 I start work at 8.30am but would start it at 7.30 of I could!

Good plan to wait if you can. I'm going to wait until at least 12DPO (Friday).

Sealover123 · 29/05/2023 21:33

My temp is currently 36.9 and I'm normally around 36! As this is our first month TTC after ectopic and now only 1 tube I expect it to take a while - so just trying to stay calm and see what the test says on Friday.

I think I saw another warm lady on here, how everyone's temps???

You are certainly allowed to feel dramatic!! I haven't even tested yet but did some retail therapy 🤣

I have zero symptoms at 8DPO. Feels like nothing is happening - so boring! Hoping work tomorrow can also distract me. Do you start work early? You always seem to be about pretty early!

If you want to save heartbreak, I think next test at 12 DPO if you can resist! You have permission to test earlier 🤣xx

@Amy95 Oh I'm so sorry you cried lots today 😔💔 Honestly, 9DPO is really early! You probably would've had to implant at 6DPO to get a positive at this stage . As @GeoSmed said, some women don't even implant until 12DPO. Really hoping things turn around for you. Sending so much love and hugs xx

Sorry you’ve had a hard day :(. I really do believe that testing early is bad for MH - I’ve done it myself in the past (TTC number 1 I used to test at 8dpo!) but I always found seeing the BFNs so much worse than AF arriving.

This time round I’m just doing BBT so I don’t stress about whether I’ve actually ovulated and I can see the temp drop on CD1 rather than bleeding. Lose a few hours to FF’s “charts like mine” but that seems a small price to pay.

I feel this same, which is why I try not to test early. I did it lots when TTC #1 and I just got so down about it, it was much better staying hopeful into the end.

I know it's easier said than done!

Haha kids are f**kers aren’t they? Why do we want them again? 👀 and I’m bloody paying for it too. Christ. Think we’re mentally broken! Yeah reckon she’s hands down rule him tho. She’s a sassy woman with a far too high opinion of herself. Adolf best watch his back 😎

Least you think she’ll fit in with the team / company vibe. How old is she? I find it weird when you have a boss that is younger than you. Yeah where I work it’s only b2b but I’ve only ever worked in that bar 2 companies - one being dulux and one being a nutrition company. But I think I prefer b2b anyway.

he sounds adorable. Especially with long curly locks! Does he get the curls from you? My hair is a white - like, baby white. I must be such a rare case where I still have such blonde hair that I’ve never dyed. But I’ve always wanted brown curly hair! I always think it looks so much more healthy. Haha we’ll see. Hopefully. X

Honestly 🙈 Hopefully you won't have to pay for anything soon and you get those twins 😉 I'm really not sure, he's quite the diva. It would be a good match 🤣

Yes, which is important! She is younger than me for sure, but I'm very youthful if I do say so myself hahaha. She seems quite mature! Maybe around 30. I used to work for travel brands, that was the dream 😍 except for the agency haha. I used to love community management and creative ideas for travel. SIGH... I think it's all pretty similar tbh, it's always hard to get into B2B when you don't have the experience, then you get in and it all feels super similar. I once missed out on a dream job (not salary wise) at Aardman because I didn't have any B2B experience. Hopefully I'll get another shot there one day 😅 Dulux sounds quite fun?

Oh wow, check out you, Daenerys Targaryen! Your hair sounds amazing. Unfortunately not, I'm very Irish looking with straight dark hair. My husband is mixed, so has tight curls. I was really hoping he'd look like my husband with his green eyes and beautiful complexion... But unfortunately he looks like me just with big curls. 🤣 What does your husband look like? It is so exciting, not knowing how your baby will turn out. You have no idea, so when they pop out it's pretty hilarious... Initially Adolf looked nothing like either of us. If he hadn't been with me the whole time I would've thought they swapped him 😅

Hiya I'm only 9dpo but still a huge kick in the teeth I felt so positive this time around , we tried so hard this month aswell plus I tracked ( we've been trying 2 years without tracking ) I can't really do bbt cause my working patterns are different so I'm up at different times every day xx

I’m sorry @Amy95 i know how it feels and it really cuts deep and you think how can I go again and start another cycle but you can and you will. Hope and determination keeps us going back even if we don’t feel it initially. If you want to rant cry or just moan, drop me a PM and I’ll happily listen. You’re strong and you’re amazing. This was nothing you did just back frickin luck this time. Ultimately that’s a lot of it - jammy buggers 😂 sending love across the country . X

Aw it really has cut deep today like really got to me 🥺 yes hope will get me to my dream I just feel like a big fat failure today , my partner has dealt with a crying Amy today 😂 thankyou so much for your kind words ❤️ how was your scan today lovely , I really need a slap in the face to shake me out of this horrible mood 😂 i got so good dealing with it and now Ive cried all day xx
