Anyone want to wait together ?!
Telling myself I won't test for two weeks but I might not be able to resist.

LATE ovulation this month but hoping next phase is long enough (I usually fluctuate!)

I think we DTD enough 🙏

@OopsieeDaisy I have brown discharge now this afternoon - scared!!!
Don't think I have ever had this before again previously but never know. Just hoping it's not. Weird I thought if spotted yesterday and it was period then it should have been this morning (I always start af on waking up)

Guess tomorrow will tell!

@OopsieeDaisy oh no - I don't live in the uk so it's winter here I can't help re hay fever tabs 😓could you speak with the doctor which ones would be safe ? Feels cruel to suffer!

I think as long as you’re not drinking excessively, the odd drink here and there is fine, even during the TWW. Our wait to conceive first time round wasn’t even that long compared to some people but it’s really true you shouldn’t put your life on hold, it can become quite a miserable time without that!

On a similar(ish) note, is anyone taking hayfever meds? I struggled through last summer because I actually was pregnant but is it worth the suffering if it may not even happen?!

BubbleBathLover · 03/06/2023 21:09

@Mangotango39 absolutely! I think tomorrow I will have like 1 glass and that should through people off enough and then my period is due on Friday but can be a day late but if it hasn’t arrived by Saturday morning I might test then. Although it isn’t unusual for me to be a few days late.

it’s so hard to try and make plans when you are in this stage isn’t it!

@BubbleBathLover I find the drinking really difficult because people say don't put your life on hold but then in tww should we drink or not?! And then everyone is suspicious if you don't drink !!

my friend was trying to plan a bottemless brunch on July and I'm thinking eeek I don't want to just incase !

This wait is utter torture 😅 I didn’t find out I was pregnant with my little boy until I was 7 weeks. I came off the pill and just didn’t get a period so thought my body was just trying to get back into a cycle but it turns out I just got pregnant straight away. I am a week away from being due my period and I feel like I am going crazy.

I have been looking online at the best tests to take before your AF is even due but stories about false positives have brought me back down and I will wait until next weekend. The issue I have is we are going to a friends bbq tomorrow where I will be handed a glass of Prosecco as I walk in the door, we are then on holiday this week and next Saturday I have my best friends hen do which is mainly centred around drinking.

Heres hopin for us all!! Lmao this is utter hell tho the wait 🤣🤣 i dont feel preg in slightest were as last time i knew i was n all my symptoms went as soon as started bleedin even tho tests stayed faint for over a week! Ya jus dont know wat to be thinkin lol

OopsieeDaisy · 03/06/2023 15:49

Also the month I conceived my LO I had hardly any signs, which was ridiculous after months of symptom spotting and in the end it was just a bit of cramping around 10 DPO, so definitely possible not to have any signs as well!

OopsieeDaisy · 03/06/2023 15:47

I’m sure I read recently that pregnancy can cause a positive result in an OPK because they’re not sensitive enough to know what hormone they’re detecting, so you never know!

I don’t test LH after peak either, last month AF arrived only a week after positive OPK so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen again or we’ve got no chance.

@Freya8 usually I come on 12dpo so going something would show for me then.

sorry to hear about your chemicals.
I had absolutely no clue for my two mmc - they were accidents so possibly didn't notice but I did get to 11w6d for one and nothing 😐so I do think possible to have lack of symptoms .

OP posts:
Freya8 · 03/06/2023 15:38

I onlykeep testing lh as my first cycle off the pill i had 2 surges n skipped a whole period lmao who knows wat mine is but im not testing until i miss my af due at 13dpo. My chemical i had more symptoms than now so pretty much think im out

Mangotango39 · 03/06/2023 15:32

@OopsieeDaisy I would take almost positive as unless your testing loads around the peak, it's so easy to miss! Especially when sleeping!
Ewm is always big giveaway 😁
No cramps but I am not the type to get period pain either . I usually feel one twinge in the morning and there's AF .
please don't come 😫

@Freya8 no I was waiting till 12dpo as really don't want to stress with faint lines etc but it's hard!!!!!
I don't actually test my lh after mine goes down 😮I just assume all done and dusted.
could lh rising again be a sign of pregnancy??

OP posts:
Freya8 · 03/06/2023 15:22

@Mangotango39 hav u tested at all babes? Im 9dpo too an my freakin lh started rising again this morn n im gettin all bothered about it cuz that can mean i didnt ovualte n its tryin again or my periods on route 🤔

OopsieeDaisy · 03/06/2023 15:14

@Mangotango39 The waiting is the worst! Have you had any cramps or anything?

I’m assuming that the almost positive OPK I had on Wednesday was the closest I’m getting this month, I’m pretty sure I have ovulated as I had EWCM for a few days around then as well so now joining the waiting game!

Mangotango39 · 03/06/2023 14:09

@OopsieeDaisy seems to have stop now - will see tomorrow as likely come on then if not spotting. Eeek. Wait it killing me.

anything for you?

OP posts:
OopsieeDaisy · 03/06/2023 12:35

Ooh that certainly sounds promising! I would say it’s probably the exact right time for implantation 😬🤞

Mangotango39 · 03/06/2023 10:01

9dpo today and spotting when I wipe - one spot even time pinky red (not bright red)
thoughts on this being implantation or possible early period??

I ovulated late but I am cd31 overall - usually it's 12 days for me until period from ov.
eeeek!!!!

Freya8 · 01/06/2023 12:00

Mangotango39 · 01/06/2023 11:14

7dpo and for days my nipples have been sensitive and permanently hard (surely too early?!) but today they are really bad and so so sore.

If it's not from hormones I must be allergic to something as items becoming unbearable - even the shower water is hurting! So strange!

Mangotango39 · 31/05/2023 12:37

@Jb2189 omg same!! At home all day resisting testing haha!

I didn't even know chemical pregnancy existing till I came on MN and learned about them. Now I am terrified of that happening so avoiding testing early so I don't get my hopes up in that way.
although does seem can even happy and show on tests around period but it's made me more cautious .

It's so hard 🙈 I have the gym tonight for an hour so will take my.mind off it for a whole hour 😂😂

Freya8 · 31/05/2023 13:07

Heyy 6dpo here and nothing to report other than a few stabs in the boobs which were utterly joyus!! Holdin out testing until 14dpo as af due 13dpo aghhhhhhhhh i must not test i must not test
