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.

@Boobag welcome aboard the crazy train! You'll find tons of support and wild symptom spotting!

In other news ladies, my nighttime cramping has started again! Is that even a thing 🤷🏼‍♀️

yes as you can tell @Boobag we’re all slightly going insane… welcome sit back and enjoy 😂.

@HelloMoon87 yes, I was thinking if we do get our bfps maybe make a little fb group? I have been in one before and it was good!

HelloMoon87 · 10/07/2023 22:43

@pm24 thank you, that made me feel better.

I love how fab this group is, so active! Few more days to go until we go properly mad 🙈😁

I just thought bfps will mean March babies, that would be a dream 🤞

@Boobag can really relate I’ve had 3 lots of static smileys and looking at the lines only 2 of them should have been static. And now 7days from the actual static I should have had and getting negatives in between im getting flashy smileys and 2 lines again!!

it’s so frustrating. But I would just recommend having sec every other day or as much as you fancy it, so there’s always the little guys waiting…

we are all so frustrated waiting for the TWW to be over!!

Boobag · 10/07/2023 22:21

Hoping to hop on, ttc first time. 2nd cycle since coming of the pill. I have been using the clear blue double hormone opk it jumped from circle straight to static with no flashing smileys on Friday. Managed to dtd day of static and two days after. Thinking I’m currently 2dpo and hoping to take a test on day 12. Didn’t expect the wait to be so frustrating!

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 22:21

@MrsP20202

no bum aching here ahah but I have come out in several spots which only get right before my period (which is 10 days away) I have dry skin so very odd for me!!

@missmae inthink we all go mad looking for a second line… the things we do 🤣

missmae · 10/07/2023 22:07

@MrsP20202 there's actually several different ones you can take if none work… how long ago was this?! 🤔 I’m very surprised. Especially if you were admitted and were losing weight. That’s shocking they didn’t offer you anything. If you get it again definitely mention the anti sickness meds to your gp!!
no bum hole aching here but my breasts are definitely doing something 🙊I’ve never been so excited to feel pain

@pinkandredflowers i think we all do it, we do anything to see a hint of a line. I’m there taking pics in all different angles and tweaking it then sending it to my sister like you see? It’s there?? She’s like no. No it’s not. 😂😭

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 21:58

@missmae i didn’t know there was such medication! Bloody b*stards ! I suffered when I didn’t need to 🤦🏻‍♀️ I will deffo be demanding that if I have hv again 😂

@pinkandredflowers same here I even got a white envelope to see if a line would pop out at me 😂 the torch comes out everytime when I test 😂 I even go back to it to shine a light on it 30 mins later oh god this tww makes us all mad 😂

@BlossomTree123 keep faith babe my fingers and toes are crossed for you 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

really weird question sorry for tmi (I don’t know if it’s in my head) is anyones bumhold aching 😂 mine seems to have started aching 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 oh god I think I’m officially going mad 😂

so glad I found this group as hubby keeps getting annoyed 😂

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 21:49

@MrsP20202 yes I’m too early to test, I definitely felt some weird stabbing pains 3 days after ovulation. But way to early to test so we will see!!

@pinkandredflowers @pm24 i have done the torch thing, think I’m delusional too ahahah!!

pinkandredflowers · 10/07/2023 21:41

@pm24 omg it's so nice to hear you are the same 😂 literally same as me torch on, torch off, try different lighting etc!

missmae · 10/07/2023 21:34

@Tes004 you're still early my love, don’t get too disheartened yet, there’s still plenty of time for those hcg levels to rise! ❤️ But I agree definitely use pink dye tests from now. I only use a clear blue when I get a positive from a pink dye first!

@MrsP20202 tbf I don’t think everyone experiences ovulation pain anyway! I was deffo crampy enough to notice them 😂! Oh bless you, tbh I’ve still not put my weight back on but I’m not complaining 😂. And I was given cyclizine I’m surprised they didn’t offer you any at all? They did work eventually… I was admitted a couple of times it was horrendous I was so weak I couldn’t walk anywhere. I started to try and eat dry toast or something dry every time I felt the nausea come and then I started to actually kind of help it. But I had to take them religiously. If I missed one or 2 it’s game over for a couple of days until it’s built back up in my system again. I got cocky a few times and was like yeah this is all going too well I don’t feel sick at all… stopped taking them and was back in hospital again. Lesson learnt 😂😂

Feeling a bit down, my symptoms are all gone since the morning. I'm dpo 7 today.

@pinkandredflowers

I've read that symptoms can come and go! I know it's easy to say but keep faith! Sending you positive baby vibes 🤱

pinkandredflowers · 10/07/2023 21:25

Omg does testing make anyone else feel completely delusional? I've just stared at a negative test for a good half an hour convincing myself there is a shadow (there is not!)

That was me this morning, I took it from my bathroom to my bedroom, looked at it with a torch, the light off, light on, by the window, with my glasses and without! Drove myself crazy trying to find a line 🤪

pm24 · 10/07/2023 21:26

@Tes004 don't be disheartened, it's still early days and I agree, use the pink dye as it's more accurate.

Praying for a bunch of BFPs in the coming days ❤️ 🤞 🍀

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 21:16

@BlossomTree123 oh 6dpo you won’t get a positive as it takes anywhere from I believe, you implant from 6 days onwards then it takes a couple of days for a test to even show positive :) so my fingers are so crossed for you!

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 21:07

@MrsP20202 i did one and neg, but only 6 DPO according to flo, but unsure!!! We will see.

Everyone seems like they are going the right way with the symptoms!! I’m excited and hopeful for you all!

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 20:58

@missmae oh tell me about it if I’m not pregnant I’ll feel very stupid 😂 I can’t remember what side I felt pain during ovulation 😂 infact I think I didn’t think about it and dragged hubby upstairs 😂 oh don’t I hope if I do become pregnant I won’t get that again it was horrible! With both my babies I lost weight! I seem to lose weight when pregnant but when I have them I put so much on afterwards! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I didn’t get given the anti sickness meds are they any good?

@Tes004 from experience hun use the pink dye tests! I always had nasty evaps that were blue with clear blue got my hopes up many times 😞 if you can see a line how ever faint in person tho it’s a good sign try rest your brain and test in a few days ❤️ Please don’t stress (I no how hard it is not to stress)

HelloMoon87 · 10/07/2023 20:58

You're likely 8 dpo, @Tes004. I would recommend waiting until Thursday to test (best even until weekend).

OP posts:
Tes004 · 10/07/2023 20:53

And I’m not sure how to work out dpo as I had a static smile 1/7 late afternoon - so either 2nd or rd would have been ovulation if it’s 12-24 hrs after - so I assume to play it safe 8-9dpo ??

Tes004 · 10/07/2023 20:50

@HelloMoon87 kinda feel this way now - feel so emotional think it’s all the over thinking -
test isn’t worth uploading - I can see a shadow in person but it don’t look like much in the pic @pinkandredflowers 😞

HelloMoon87 · 10/07/2023 20:45

@pinkandredflowers hopefully it is good signs for us 🥺. Haha we’ve all done it today I think no judgment here 😂!

@MrsP20202 surely all these pains etc must mean something for us, we’re not that crazy are we?! Do you know if you ovulated from your left side? When I did with my previous pregnancy my pains stayed to the left side during implantation as well! So I’m really hoping it means something this time too! Hmm see mine don’t hurt at all though this is why I’m kinda thinking I’m imagining it. They just feel less squishy than a few days ago 🤣 oh lucky you! I still had it with my last pregnancy that was a boy, lost 2 stone but eventually managed to settle it with anti sickness meds… I still have lots left in my bedside drawer ready 🫣
