THE DINO CLUB #1

Yeah definitely from I think 10DPO I start to feel like it’s probably not happening this month. I’ve tested from 8DPO most cycles and tbh I felt at the time it helped me, but having a month of not doing that I actually have felt more relaxed!

Tbh it depends how many DPO I am, but anywhere between tomorrow and Friday based on the 10-12DPO window.

Morning ladies 🫶🏻

I’m 10DPO according to the apps, but I would have said 12 looking at my temps. It’s dropped a lot this morning, so it’s looking more likely I am 12 and AF may appear tomorrow. I haven’t bothered testing, I feel like I already know and don’t need to see a negative test to upset me. It’s been almost freeing not dealing with negative tests this month.. is that weird? 😂

Interestingly @Lila34830 @Gemmaemilyx that would mean I also ovulated first day of my positive OPK!

@Lila34830 no I 100% get it.. I actually said to my OH after that scan this month I wish I never went as I was blissfully unaware and happy prior. I bet your TWW will fly by, hopefully you get that Xmas BFP 🤞🫶🏻

Hey girl, sorry to hear this. It’s so disheartening 😟!! Sending love! Xx

Well SMEP didn’t work as predicted. AF just arrived, very light and dark again, will bring this up with my GP this week. Cycle day 1 again.

You will defo have a chance, especially if you think you felt the pains! I never have any indicators like that!
I remember you saying you was going to start BBT, did you get round to it?

Hi Dinos 🦕🦖 sorry been away with work last week and already crazy busy this week…It’s TWW time after our heroic efforts this month

so I did drink a small amount on Saturday (only a bit of red wine with meal) and it make me sick, I don’t feel very well and I have the most painful boobs ever. Not sure I’m just a bit run down. Feel very sick now and have a headache but I have also had the most intense day at work!

Didn’t test for ovulation this month so I don’t know how many DPO I am! Flo says I’m on CD22 so I guess I’ll know by the end of next week 😬

CONGRATULATIONS @HE93C!!!! 🩷🩷🩷

@Lila34830 @Gemmaemilyx @KT199 thank you all for responding.. literally made me well up as I feel seen and heard. I have ordered the proov tests that I am going to try this cycle and then hope to book a GP in the new year fingers crossed

Funnily enough, when I had my ultrasound this month (although I don’t really rate the guy with how he made me feel) he did say that most ovulation took place the first day of the rise as I asked if he could tell when I’d ovulated. He said there’s a lot of info out there, LH is only a guide but from what he’s seen it’s first day of rise so waiting until peak when TTC may not be the most effective method. It’s all about the week leading up!

Yep, what @Lila34830 and @Gemmaemilyx said @NoisyBee!! push until you are heard, if you have concerns you need to try speak up for yourself and not take no as an answer, feeling fobbed off is horrible but equally you shouldn’t be sat feeling like something is wrong with none of your concerns being heard and addressed.

Oh jeez!! At least you managed to DTD in time!! Xx

@NoisyBee as @Lila34830 said, i would ask, and if they say no id ask for a second opinion, this is what i did and ive had blood tests which found multiple deficiencies, an infection and also arranged an ultrasound. Where as the first GP said oh you’ve had kids before, the CP are just bad luck. Its worth an ask- you don’t ask you don’t get 🥰🩷

@KT199 @Lila34830 thank you! Spoken to my GP a couple of times.. had thyroid tests done that all came back fine. Really want to talk to them about my concerns about my luteal phase being short and spotting from 8dpo and other low progesterone symptoms but really worried I just get fobbed off :( it's so tiring

@HE93C yeppp I feel like every part of pregnancy is so worrying!! I pray it all goes smoothly for you 🥰🥰

That was my exact worry as I didn’t have it when I MC before so I was thinking god I hope it’s not ectopic 🤦🏽‍♀️ so many things to worry about isn’t there! Thank you again xx

@HE93C I was told with my early scan with my daughter it was the embryo imbedding as I had pain and just turned out I ovulated from the right ovary and implanted in the left! I had it for weeks and weeks I was concerned it was an ectopic before my scan.

I wouldn’t worry at all about that pain/ tugging. my bestie had it too and panicked but she’s now had her 12 week scan and all fine 🥰

@Gemmaemilyx im so glad you put that message in about symptoms as I’ve been having tugging/pain on my left side almost like a stitch but lower down and I was nervous I meant something was wrong!

thank you for the reassurance xx

@KT199 it’s so difficult isn’t it. I have days where I lose all hope then others I’m like this is it.

if it is any help for the future, with my previous kids/ CPs I have had tingly nipples, AF cramps.

The unusual ones unlike AF are pulling and tugging on one side(only noticeable as ttc) and bloating, which I describe like a band around my belly really tight and unable to suck in which happens only when I get a positive and metallic taste in mouth once I get a positive too.

If it isn’t our month, hopefully 2025 will bring us better luck 🥰 xx
