Hey ladies 👋🥰 ,

I thought I would start a thread for anyone wanting to join me in my tww 🎊.

I am currently 1dpo I have quite a long cycle usually irregular due to PCOS but they seem to have semi regulated themselves and ive ovulated for the first time in years, AF due the 18th of April, same day it was due with my DD in 2013! Found out I was pregnant the day after it was due 🥳, hoping this is history repeating itself as this has been a long ttc journey 😪.

What dpo is everyone? I thought we could share symptoms while we wait. I am terrible for symptom spotting 😂

I caved and picked up some cheapie tests and tested, obviously a BFN! Will likely test most days so I can at least get through a day without them calling to me from the bathroom cabinet and give myself some sanity 🙃

@Hopethisendswell i don’t think you were insensitive in the slightest. I think we can all agree we are all here to support each other. Everyone’s journey is different xx

Thank you for your help. In hindsight I realise that was a really sensitive question to ask on this thread. I'm really sorry for that and for your losses xx

Aw no honestly don't say sorry at all I would rather you ask any questions if you have even the slightest bit of concern, I'm not a medical professional but I would give my best advice I can

Hi, I had an ectopic in January and although it’s different for everyone, my symptoms started around week 4 of pregnancy. Cramping and on/off bleeding. I really wouldn’t worry so early on. You can’t feel the symptoms of an ectopic (if you get any) so early on. It could be implantation/AF or anything. Try not to worry x

Show quote history

I agree I also had an ectopic I was just over 5 weeks and I had horrendous pain in my left ovary, I also had a pain in my shoulder tip with slight bleeding

Can anyone shed any light? I definitely ovulated around CD10-12 as had EWCM. I continued testing with OPKs (didn’t log some of these) but all negative. Today it’s still negative but seems to have massively increased and got darker? My period is due in 8 days. We made sure we had sex CD9, 10, 11 and 12. Any advice appreciated! 💕

Just wondering...I woke up at 5am with strong cramping/ pains on lower left (the same side I had ovulation cramps on), should I worry about an ectopic? Only lasted a few minutes then stopped and no bleeding today or anything but CM is watery again. I'm only 5 dpo so still early.

Wishing I'd paid more attention to my body last month so I know if this is normal for me 😅

i caved and tested this morning, a BFN!

I haven't tested yet but I'm only 8dpo I want to try wait till atleast 10dpo, not sure how I'm feeling I was hopeful the start with but the closer it gets to AF the more I'm not so sure, my Lower tummy like pelvis area feels tender my nipples are sore and itchy woke with slightly tender boobs just at the sides and a sore back but it all seems a bit early to be anything 😅

Oooh that sounds hopeful @GSD2024 , fingers crossed for you 😊

TMI...watery CM yesterday, like you @MadeWithL0ve but seem to have, err, dried up a bit now. I guess if I'm pregnant that will change in a few days?

Feeling a bit crampy like I'm due AF but knowing me it's just wind 😅

Edited

I had some strange cm last night, off white lotion feeling but slightly stretchy, now it's dried up a bit so confusing

My cramps feel different today, almost like a tight pulling sensation. Not sure what that means but no more bleeding!

GSD2024 · 06/04/2024 15:18

@Hopethisendswell @MadeWithL0ve its so hard not to think every symptom is a sign!! Luckily I’ve got a busy few days so won’t be testing, but I’m thinking about it all the time!
