HelloMoon87 · 04/07/2023 20:55

Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

@BlossomTree123 my are hurting and tended to touch even lying in bed now they’re not happy lol

but that sadly could also be AF for me I had this last month ! So no hope up yet…
it’s crazy what our minds do

BlossomTree123 · 12/07/2023 22:45

@longingtobe23 so strange you have just said that, as @missmae keeps mentioning her boobs, I’ve just checked mine and was like ooo I have veins they look a bit plumper.

but I don’t normally grope my boobs so maybe they’ve always looked like this 😂

longingtobe23 · 12/07/2023 22:33

@missmae i also keep flashing myself in the mirror checking the girls seeing if they have veins … that’s how I knew with my son! They ached, got big and blue veins … 🤣
never have I wanted ugly painful veiny boobs more 😂

my husband thinks I’m nuts …

BlossomTree123 · 12/07/2023 22:33

Catching up on, love how interactive this chat is!

@Boobag we are all questioning our sanity right now ahaha!

@missmae i also had an anterior placenta last time and from my understanding your placenta will never grow in the same place thankfully! Hated having limited movement from the baby!

im 9DPO tomorrow and I said I won’t test anymore until the weekend but I feel I will I’m the morning again 😂

pm24 · 12/07/2023 22:25

@missmae you have just described what I did 5mins ago!

I love that we are all on the same crazy page 🤪

Roll on tomorrow where I'll do the exact same things as I did today even though I told myself I'll stop over analysing, go with the flow and be one of those women who say 'I didn't even think about the TWW, only realised I was pregnant when I was late'. Who am I kidding!

pinkandredflowers · 12/07/2023 21:58

So refreshing that we are collectively delusional and I'm not just crazy by myself 😂 appreciate you all!!

missmae · 12/07/2023 21:57

@Boobag omg don’t. This is me with my boobs. I’m like yeah they’re fuller. Ooo they’re starting to hurt…. Wait are they hurting? jumps up and down meh… yeah maybe a little. 30 mins later grabs boobs i don’t think they’re hurting… nah they must be, they feel heavy. grabs again oh they’re deffo full. stands in front of mirror topless yeah they look fuller. jumps up and down I DONT KNOW. goes to bed
honestly I’m driving myself insane I don’t know if I feel anything or not. It’s absolutely crazy over here

missmae · 12/07/2023 21:53

@pinkandredflowers thats what I’ve been doing and I get so fixated on it! I throw them away then I’m like “haha wait let me check again”

@HelloMoon87 ah yes I understand that!! Hopefully next time no anterior placenta!🙏🏼 but yeah you’re right. I think you have the most sense here. 😂

pinkandredflowers · 12/07/2023 21:32

Boobag · 12/07/2023 21:29

Has anyone questioned their sanity with symptoms. Like I think I have some nausea but then I question myself and start doubting if I even know what nausea feels like.

You have defined the last few days perfectly!! Can I feel something in my tummy?? Do I have a headache?? Ooh am I dizzy? Do I feel sick? Was that a cramp!!!?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@HelloMoon87 definitely no line in pictures I am just living in lala land and think I'll stay until either a real positive or AF comes along 🤣

HelloMoon87 · 12/07/2023 21:07

@missmae I don't remember when I popped haha. I do remember not feeling any movements until week 24 and being worried. When I started feeling it was more on the side as well, not at the front, so uncomfortable 😂. Nobody told me about my anterior placenta until then as well.
I think I'll test from Friday for sure. With chemical, I'd only bleed from dpo 19, and I just know at some point I'll find out even if I test day after AF.

@pinkandredflowers welcome back, long time no see 😂 did you take a photo of it in the best light and check the photo instead? I feel like sometimes that makes it better to decide whether there is a line?

Hellooo everyone! Hope you've all had a nice day.

I have just tested again at 9dpo (I think, peak opk was evening of 2nd so assuming ovulation was 3rd) and bfn - there is no second line but my brain is playing tricks on me and I'm conviiinced there is a super super faint shadow 🙄 (there isn't I've tried all the rooms and light options 🤣)

Anyone else's eyes just completely lose the plot when looking at tests?!

I'm looking forward to love island to take my mind off it ha

missmae · 12/07/2023 20:53

@HelloMoon87 yes I had the same issue! especially when I was using a Doppler at home…😬 would take me forever to find it!! Did you start showing sooner because of that? Because I popped around 14 weeks and I’m sure it was because of the placenta! Ooo I’ve just had quesadillas. But something sweet would be nice. You have a lot of self control to be waiting till next week!! But I can imagine the nerves tbh it probably would be best for you to wait 🥺🤞🏼

@missmae yeah anterior placenta is not fun, even the midwife used to struggle to find the heartbeat 😂 office sounds fun, I'm going to watch glamorous with some ice cream now

So, I was even thinking of waiting till next week when AF is due. It's a bit hard to know when AF is due because I had a chemical in May, but should be roughly Monday. I've had 2 chemicals with fairly good lines (but just not same as control) in the last 5 months, so I'm definitely nervous.

missmae · 12/07/2023 20:34

@HelloMoon87 ah I also had an anterior placenta with last pregnancy. Nightmare when going for scans! But that’s good you feel better!😊
haha not really, I put the office on, I needed some humour! 😂and really? I mean I’ve been drinking a lot of water maybe not enough 🤔. I mean you’ve done better than most of us testing! Been searching and it says hcg levels can be detected 4-5 days after implantation. So it probably is more logical to start testing at 11dpo 😂

Aww thank you everyone, I've just been catching up. I feel so much better already. With my son, symptoms came and went till 3rd trimester when I could feel him move a lot (I had anterior placenta), and I remember I used to be anxious every other week. And yes lots get bfps without any symptoms as well.

@bookworm100 I also worry about that, I'm trying to take it easy this cycle with work but it's just so hard to not get caught up. Maybe nice relaxing bath/evening would help?

@missmae are you watching anything nice on Netflix?
I've just read that lack of cm can also be due to not getting hydrated? What?! I've started getting slight headache now, maybe all of this is just me not having enough water through the day

I think I'm going to test on and onwards Friday dpo 11. I decided I can't wait, and I'd rather know 🙈

OP posts:
missmae · 12/07/2023 19:24

@HelloMoon87 yeah I’m never ever this dry, ive usually always got some there! yeah I think it’s okay! Like I’ve read so many forums of women still getting their bfp. So fingers crossed 🤞🏼
update though, boobs are finally starting to hurt and feel heavier…it really is all about patience 😂

BlossomTree123 · 12/07/2023 19:10

its so normal to not have symptoms or to have them! I know so many cases where people had no symptoms so were shocked they were pregnant and others who knew before a test would pick it up.

we do all have time! Im hoping we are going to get loads of BFPs this month

HelloMoon87 · 12/07/2023 18:37

@missmae I'm all dry as well?! It was a lot more than usual before. Yeah going from quite strong symptoms to nothing is odd to say the least, but maybe that's ok?

@bookworm100 you are fine. None of those will have hindered your chances. Try to relax and not think about it. Take a few deep breathes in and out x

missmae · 12/07/2023 17:46

@Scarletthoping you're doing well lol! My boobs are not sore but they feel fuller? Can that even happen lol can they feel full, without feeling heavy and sore?😵‍💫

@bookworm100 oh bless you! 🫂 don’t worry neither of those will affect your chances!! Sit back and enjoy!!

bookworm100 · 12/07/2023 17:42

Handhold please! I've had a stressful day and am worried that I've harmed my chances through either a) the stress of the day or b) the small glass of red wine I am now indulging in to recover from it Blush

Scarletthoping · 12/07/2023 17:30

10DPO (I think) and also feel like my symptoms have disappeared 😬 Apart from my boobs are still a bit sore. Anyway that’s reassuring to know @missmae that many people don’t have symptoms or have less. Eeek! 🤞🏻

I’m still holding off testing. Mainly because I don’t have any and know the second I actually buy some I’ll test straight away and I want to wait until I can be sure of the result. It’s so SO hard to wait though 😫

longingtobe23 · 12/07/2023 16:10

@HelloMoon87

you could be a motivational speaker it’s what I needed to hear I am only 11DPO so I guess I’m still just in with a chance 🥰
