Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

Morning ladies, just catching up as I’ve had a busy few days.

my AF finished last night so I’m ready for next week 😂😂 it’s hard as we are so busy during the week it’s hard to DTD, but will try and catch the right window.

@Elspeth1990 keeping everything crossed for you that the scan goes well and that it is all smooth sailing. Keep us updated on how your symptoms develop, and please chat to us anytime you need anything 🥰 we are all in it together. Looking forward to the day when the chat becomes us all talking about scans etc cause we have all conceived ❤️❤️

JM1997 · 19/04/2024 09:16

@Hannah4850 what a gorgeous thing to do, and a really lovely idea to make it memorable. Keep us updated with how Dublin is I’ve always wanted to go. They say when you’re more relaxed and not putting pressure on yourself it helps to conceive as well, good luck lovely!! 🥰

Elspeth1990 · 19/04/2024 09:12

Morning ladies,

I have spoken with my consultant and my first scan is booked for the 15th. The wait will be awful but I'm hoping uneventful.

Wishing you all a baby dust for the month ahead.

@Hannah4850 that's a lovely idea. A trip away will be nice and relaxing and hopefully does the trick

@JM1997 morning babe!
I booked flights to Dublin next weekend for me and my partner, so we're going just for the day for food and shopping then some drinks at Temple bar then hopefully conceive that night because it's my fertile window!
We're hoping to do something nice each fertile window so we can add a memory to when we made a babba 🤞🏻💖

Also, Happy Friday everyone!! How is everyone doing today?? Not long until the weekend, I am heading to a clients event today, I kind of wish I had it next week though so that I could keep myself busy during the fertile window 🤣🤣

JM1997 · 19/04/2024 08:57

@Hannah4850 I guess a positive is that now your AF is here you can look forward to it finishing, and then starting again. We DTD again last night, I think we are just taking the approach this cycle of doing it as much as we can. I took an ovulation test yesterday and it was negative, so I guess we will call the past few DTD practices ready for the real thing next week 🤣🤣🤣

Have you taken another pregnancy test @Hannah4850 ?

No babe but me and my partner had 'cuddles' before and I started bleeding heavy since, don't know if that's good or bad but could have just egged on a proper af 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Elspeth1990 well a massive good luck and we are all behind you, if you need anything just chat to us. I’ve everything crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I am hoping that by DTD regularly during the fertile window this will help!

JM1997 · 18/04/2024 12:22

@Elspeth1990 eeek keep us updated. As soon as the scan happens you’ll feel so much better. How many weeks along do you think you’re??

I think I'll be 4 weeks on Friday which will be 4 weeks from MC exactly. I was 8 weeks along so hoping to get over that stage. It's a long way off Confused

@Elspeth1990 good luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻 sending baby dust your way, keep us updated lovely!

Thank you! I'm now testing positive on the strips so I've contacted my consultant and waiting to hear back. I just can't wait to the first scan. Can't get my hopes up.

Hoping you all get your BFP very soon!

JM1997 · 18/04/2024 12:17

Also, how is everyone today?? I hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday! I am just trying to keep myself really busy whilst i wait to be in the fertile window!

@chamena lets go 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 we’ve got this ladies!!

JM1997 · 18/04/2024 12:15

@GSD2024 I believe in us, how are you feeling today?? Have you come off your AF today??

JM1997 · 18/04/2024 12:14

@Hannah4850 I completely understand the mixed emotions, as it is good that you’ve started the AF as it means you can start again, but then you feel disheartened that you’ve had your AF! We have DTD a couple of times since I’ve been off my period, I am not in my fertile window yet, but we thought we would just try and do it more often. We are doing the same, I’ve bought ovulation tests and am going to try and do one every couple of days to catch the ovulation period too. I am due to ovulate next Sunday, but my fertile window starts from Wednesday. I’m hoping by tracking my ovulation it will help. Our plan is exactly the same to DTD as much as possible!!

chamena · 18/04/2024 08:02

I’ve had such a heavy period I almost wonder if it had been a chemical (I was 2 days late and had seen shadows on some tests), irrelevant really but my god it’s been a lot of blood lost. And still at least 10 days out from ovulation. Trying to focus on getting loads of progesterone and estrogen friendly foods in to feel like I’m doing something

This wait for AF to be over and for ovulation to be on the horizon is feeling almost as bad as the tww!

I've been thinking the same thing I had like regular flow yesterday but MEGA pains and agony all day then today minimal flow no pains 🙄 like can it just hurry up and be over so I can start ppl testing!?! 🤣🤣🤣

I think I'll test with a digi next week and if it moves up to 2-3 then I'll try and get booked in I guess. Such a rollercoaster of a month.

Yeah I'd do one in 48 hours tbh see what it says but that's definitely a new one to me 😅 hopefully it's a good sign though! 🤞🏻
