Two week wait anyone?

On the plus side I think those winter birthdays are good in terms of school readiness etc - not so old in the year that they might be bored, but not on the young end either.

Im taking progesterone so you’d think I’d have some symptoms from that but I don’t! For some reason have started to feel depressed and pessimistic about this month.

Another one with sore boobs 🙋🏻‍♀️ keep trying to tell myself to shut up and I'm only 6dpo so it's unlikely but also can't help but bloody symptom spot 🙈 we're our own worst enemy aren't we 🤣

Yeah, there's something about the miserable British weather that makes winter birthdays a bit drab. But I'll take it if it means I conceive a second and can happily stop trying forever! Fingers crossed for you too, @TaliatheBard , and everyone!

I’m exactly the same about Dec, Jan & Feb. Me and my DP have our birthdays on Dec & Jan, and there are several family birthdays in those three months too. But now I’m actually TTC, I just want that BFP. Fingers crossed that you will get a BFP soon.

Fingers crossed for a bfp for you on Friday.

I tested at the crack of dawn this morning too, but only because I woke up convinced I was 10dpo, and then realised it is TUESDAY today, NOT THURSDAY!

So I'm really either 7 or 8 dpo. Obviously a BFN. 🙄I also have zero symptoms of anything, so can't even symptom spot!😂Got a feeling it's not my month again.

I always said I'd be okay with not having a baby in Dec, Jan, or Feb because I figured they were kinda shitty months to have a birthday (I'm beginning of Feb and have always hated it!), but I am not okay with it at all!

@Aisling1010 I tested today too and that was also a negative, I tested purely because I could to be honest hahaha, I am also ridiculously tired today and my boobs have been hurting to the touch for about a week now, they are still sore today and my nipples are sensitive. I'm trying not to read into this as it is common around AF, I wish there were more unusual symptoms to determine if you're pregnant haha x

Hey. I'm on cycle two following a MC in January. Predicted ovulation was Sunday.. we've been trying all weekend, and since then I've not stopped drinking tea and been weeing lots. Too early I know for symptom spotting but it's what's happening lol.
Hoping to get lucky soon. I have a son but our angel baby would have been my OH's first...

6dpo for me, never bother testing until my period is late. I've got 9 months to worry about being pregnant (have had multiple losses and no children yet) so I'd rather not find out any earlier than that 😂 also not someone who gets pregnant easily so it's a waste of money for me lol

Aged from 10-22… i mist be mental to want more haha

Welcome @Xxfifixx89 - wow - no 5! How old are your other kids?

Hi all, 1dpo and not going to think too much sbout this one as i was convinced i was pregnant last month! Heading towards 40 and this will be my last baby (5th) so not very hopeful 🙄

8dpo is waaaayyy early @Aisling1010! you are definitely not out yet.

I only trust pink dye tests and am also very stingy so I won’t test until 10/11dpo. 10dpo is my son’s birthday so I might wait until the next day as I don’t want to feel down that day if I get a bfn!

Really random sore breasts when you press them or like just anyway? Thinking i'm imagining symptom at this point lol but i am squeezing.

I'm not testing today and my temp dropped a little today at 8dpo.

@Revelatio these are the studies I found:

https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/oct/12/will-having-sex-every-day-increase-my-fertility - this one suggests that daily sex has immune benefits for the woman (actual study linked within the article)

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090630075311.htm - and this one says daily sex improves sperm quality (where no male issues)

Personally I couldn’t manage it every day though so we do something similar to the sperm meets egg plan - every other day from when my period stops and then daily once I see EWCM.

Every other day throughout your cycle is usually recommended when not tracking ovulation as it means you’ll definitely hit the fertile window at some point without exhausting yourself!

Im 6dpo today and no symptoms at all!

First cycle TTC ever and 6dpo today I think (clearblue put me at peak at CD16 but easy@home strips had me at CD20 which was last Wednesday)! I have been taking (cheap) tests just in case and to just get it out of my system (so far all negative) But I'm swayed to believe the cheap ones a bit more! Think I'll take a FRER on Friday at 9dpo!

I’m due in a week and have no symptoms. Last few month I have been convinced I was pregnant due to symptoms, but they must have been pre-menstrual as have come in like clockwork. When I’ve been pregnant in the past I’ve not noticed until around day 31 when I’ve felt sick!

@JumpinJellyfish

That’s odd, my husband had good test results but they advised us that every other day was best for conception. It’s such an non-exact science I imagine nobody is completely certain!

I'll add to the symptom spotting 😂 telling myself that it's the same hormones as PMS and 'pregnancy symptoms' don't come untill HGC levels are high enough to be spotted on a test but...
Sensitive nipples and bigger than normal al boobs (hard to tell with this one cos still BF DC1 and go all day at work with out doing so, but last night still pretty big after a big feed)
Very bloated with mild cramps
Tireder than usual, physically as well which is what happened with DC1
Experienced a bit of back ache on the weekend too!

As I said all PMS symptoms as well though 😂

I’ve had a bit of nausea, cramping and some dizziness which is what’s making me think it’s maybe something else. I’ve also been quite emotional today but I have PNDD, so I don’t know if it’s that or a reaction to a hormone surge. It’s my first cycle properly trying! So I can’t believe it would happen this soon, I’m also 43, but not peri menopausal.

Jumping in to join the symptom sporting; TTC for the first time, 7dpo and driving myself nuts.
