And so it begins again… 4dpo

@dreammama mine has gone up to 36.81 this morning so similar to you it’s remaining quite steady! 8dpo for me today so I’ll see what temps for over the next couple of days as usually they’d start tailoring off. Fingers crossed for us both.

@YorkshirePeridot does AF usually arrive 10dpo for you? Good luck for testing

@Roseberry22 took temp this morning and it’s gone back up to 36.73 so there might be a chance still!

How is everyone this morning? I think I’m going to test on Friday morning as I am supposed to be going on a hen do so want to know before if I’m pregnant. It’s still too early to test as I’m not due on until Tuesday but I can’t wait any longer! Xx

Glad we're all still firmly in ladies!

9dpo for me now. Really intense abdominal cramps last night, needed ibuprofen and a heat pouch to be able to get to sleep. Definitely unusual for me. If no AF by tomorrow lunch I'll order some FRER for the weekend.

@Youlooknicejackie1 ill probably test Saturday if my temp stays up as I’m meant to be going out with some friends! When are you thinking?

@Fairy0708 welcome, fingers crossed for you this cycle.

@dreammama is it usual for your temp to be around 36.6 7dpo? If so I’d still think your in with a chance as implantation might not have happened yet! Last month natural cycles had ovulation 2 days out I was adamant and then bam period arrived 13 dpo like always so I do think they can get it wrong sometimes

.

@Roseberry22 dont even start me with the temp charts, mine is doing my literal head in! 🤣 the fact it’s just above cover line is so irritating as I’m wondering if it’s a good sign it’s still “high” but is it high enough…

@Youlooknicejackie1 i have confusion over ovulation date this cycle too! NC has put me at CD14 day of BBT rise but I am pretty confident it was CD13 going by OPK and knowing that temps rise 24 hour after ov…

Todays update for me

7 DPO Tue 19th March, Woke up 6.30am with horrible middle lower back pain and cramps in my uterus area, this pain actually woke me up and lasted about 2 hours. Had some left-side boob pain today as well on the inside of breast, above and underneath. A little bit gassy today aswell, some pains/twinges around my left hip side. Discharge today when checking cervix has been white/yellow lotionlike. Still bloated and fatigued

Compared to

7 DPO Feb - Woke up 4am and struggled to fall back to sleep, Twinges in my left hip area still like pulled muscle or stitch, Tightness in my left bum cheek, and Left side boob twinges, Discharge white when checking cervix, Before I went to bed it felt like I maybe coming down with a cold as had a lump in throat feeling

@jellyfish2 Ah fingers crossed for you you get your BFP

Hi all

Please can I join? TTC number 2, cycle 8.

I get pretty much the same symptoms every month both pre and post ovulation.

I had one random cycle where I had ovulation bleeding, never ever had that before and was convinced it would be the month but...no 😭

Currently around 6-8dpo (I won't use opks anymore due to the stress and pressure). Cramps since yesterday, very bloated, mood changes, some cm...also standard symptoms for me and from my googling (lol) it's due to progesterone rise following ovulation. Who knows eh?

I wished the TWW went quicker! Started the 7dpo mind going crazy phase I end up in until around 11dpo haha

Still have some creamy white CM, have had slight slower back ache today and felt sick all morning but I think this must just be changing hormones for me as I feel like I normally feel no different.

feel like I’ve already wrote myself off this month, why’s it so hard :(

I caved and looked at my temp, it seems very consistent compared to other cycles where it’s up and down more, not holding out hope this is a sign, how’s everyone else’s chart looking?

Countdown begins - currently 5/6 DPO - Nipples still sore and CRAZY realistic dreams for 3 days now....I just stocked up on tests. Trying not to break into them until at least Friday 8/9DPO 😂

@Youlooknicejackie1 I've never checked temperature what does it mean if it's high now?
I'm ok feeling bloated and a bit gassy but unsure if that's even related haha.

@UnicornPrincessSarah yeah I should keep note I think I'll start doing that.

I was thinking the weekend when I'll be 11/12 dpo. I got my last bfp at 9dpo.

@Roseberry22 Yeah deff something a little bit different going on this month that's for sure and thank you x

@jellyfish2 I don't test now until I'm late, I tested a lot on Jan thinking it was my month so decided to hold out till AF is late my cycles are normally 28 to 32 days apart. I have been making sure I keep a record of my TWW symptoms so I can compare and spot the difference and so far every month has been different but this first month not had boob pain after ovulation.

This evening cramps in my belly have come back and touched my lower feels tender and sorry TMI bowels have been looser this evening too.

If you can I would deff keep a log of your symptoms this month to compare yourself if ever needed.

When do you plan to test?

Congrats @TrishyLou1111 !! 🎉

Thanks, and yeah wanted to keep a track of my TWW symptoms since TTC so I can compare and look back to see how they can be different and so far all 3 TTC have been different, but one main thing was Jan and Feb I had the most horrible boob pain right from ovulation up to AF but don't have any boob pain this month at all

I would recommend to anyone to always write down what happens to them in the TWW as can help to see the tricks our bodies play on us.

Im not using OPK or BTT just yet as trying to stay less stressed we just DTD every 3 days from when my period ends and stop a few days before I'm due, had 2 blood test to confirm I do ovulate

I think I had some yellow last month to

Hi all..

So I've been trying to conceive my last baby for 8 months, and it's been a slog, not going to lie.

The constant POAS, stressing, trying to calender in DTD so make sure we are covered, wondering if we did enough, the dreaded TWW and symptom spotting, I just couldn't do another month of it.

I stopped it all. The only thing I have done differently is not stress and relax. What I did notice but didn't overthink as it's incredibly soul destroying constantly getting negative tests were these little bits...

♡ A small amount of blood around 8DPO and cramping for a few days like my period was about to start. This has happened in previous pregnancies, so I had a slight inkling but didn't want to get my hopes up as it happened prior to AF for me.

♡ Increase in discharge (but this is normal prior to period for me anyway, so didn't overthink)

♡ Weird, very vivid dreams. Mainly about my daddy, who passed away 2019. Again, it's not something that would strike me as a symptom because I'm a vivid dreamer anyway. However, these were odd and very 'real'.

♡ The worst case of tonsillitis I have EVER had. I had to be hospitalised. I'm only just home with another week of antibiotics. I mean, this isn't a symptom, but it's like my immune system dropped, and I was ravaged by bacteria. So poorly.

♡ This isn't something I've had with previous pregnancies, but I've been red hot. All of the time, like sweating. I genuinely thought I was peri menipaus having hot sweats. Must be hormones.

No boob pains or anything like that. However, at this point, at just around 4 weeks pregnant, I feel terribly sick. I suffer from HG in pregnancy, but it's never quite hit this early. Multiple? Argh, who knows!

I'm going to be following this thread and praying you all get your BFPs xx

@TrishyLou1111 congratulations!

@UnicornPrincessSarah sounds like you have some similar but some different symptoms, fingers crossed for you

@YorkshirePeridot it could be an implantation bleed! I noticed this last month but unfortunately it didn’t come to anything, I’m just saying that as I got my hopes up and I was so disappointed, hopefully a different outcome for you this month!

@Youlooknicejackie1 do you usually get tired/emotional around this time?

@TrishyLou1111 congratulations!! Lovely news 🩷

@UnicornPrincessSarah that does sound promising!! I can't remember ever noticing my boobs being sore around ovulation before but they've been feeling tender. I feel like I'm a bit out of sync with my body because of my MC but fingers crossed. When are you going to test?
