@Lh4503aww wow what wonderful news!! Congratulations!
@EllieWalesmy boobs are sore too, I’m still breastfeeding and hurts when she latches, but does this happen every month and I just don’t pay any attention because not ttc. I’m documenting all symptoms on Flo this month and then I’ll know what’s what πŸ˜‚

EllieWales · 27/10/2025 19:26

So I’ve just got changed into my PJs and whilst doing so have noticed my boobs are veiny, TMI but I actually have a vein that’s protruding on my nipple and my nipples look bigger or maybe darker I’m not sure just more prominent. I know it’s super early so I’m trying not to get ahead of myself but I remember having really veiny boobs with my first (can’t remember how early on) and I’m not someone who suffers with sore boobs usually but they’re super painful!

Really hoping it’s our month I haven’t had a single whiff of a positive since TTC!

Thank you all ❀️ not letting myself get too excited yet as it's super early.

@EllieWales I know! first time took 5 months, 2nd time 3 months after that then 2 months after this time.
8dpo is very early so I wouldn't get too disheartened yet!

Good luck to everyone powering through the TWW.

@Lh4503congratulations πŸŽ‰ There's no denying that bfp! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy ❀️

EllieWales · 27/10/2025 17:34

Aww so happy for you, I can’t believe you’ve conceived so soon after your previous loss! At least you know you can conceive ☺️ I know it doesn’t make it any easier though it will be a nerve wracking few weeks for you no doubt. Keep us posted 🀞

I’ve had cramping all day today at 8dpo and really sore boobs. It’s unusual for my boobs to be this sore but cramping isn’t unusual so could be something or nothing. I caved and tested this evening and of course it was negative!

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 14:29

@EllieWales Thank you so much! 🀍 I'm hoping this one sticks too 🀞✨️🌈 I'm going to be so on edge. Hopefully we can get past 6 weeks this time.

EllieWales · 27/10/2025 14:25

OMG @Lh4503 that is clear as day!! Congratulations 🀍 I can understand why you’re terrified I’m so hoping this one sticks for you 🫢

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 14:22

I'm a little in shock ladies and absolutely terrified.

@Lh4503you must be much more patient than me, I’m desperate to test already at 8dpo πŸ˜‚. Hopefully the cramping is pregnancy related! Everyday I’m second guessing how im feeling, every twinge, how my boobs feel. I’m like a woman possessed πŸ˜‚

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 08:35

@EllieWales I know so good ive bought them more than once off there πŸ˜†
Not yet! 15dpo today, I've got a feeling it's coming anytime though. Getting some very mild cramping if it doesn't arrive today I'll test tomorrow.

EllieWales · 27/10/2025 07:17

@bigbaggyblue oh πŸ˜‚ I'm sure you can set up an Amazon account pretty easily but it’s been a long long time since I’ve done it so can’t say for sure! Maybe give it a go?

@Lh4503 2 for 8.99 is a bargain. Might have to get some myself! Any signs of AF?

bigbaggyblue · 26/10/2025 22:11

@Lh4503arrr I can’t do Amazon because it’s my mums account so she will see πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ was hoping to get one in a shop but nowhere does them!

EllieWales · 24/10/2025 21:31

Aww sorry AF came and that it’s getting you down. I feel ya @MegLS big hug 🫢

@Lh4503there’s no wonder you’re feeling tired of it 10 months is a long time and with losses along the way it’s bloody hard. Really hoping it happens soon for you 🀞

I came off contraceptives a year ago in the hope it would just happen and this is my fifth consecutive cycle of actually tracking and β€˜properly’ trying. I never thought it would take this long!

@bigbaggyblue I can’t find the first response anywhere in a shop either. Maybe boots or Superdrug?

bigbaggyblue · 24/10/2025 08:33

@MegLSso sorry to hear that! Next cycle 🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼☺️

bigbaggyblue · 24/10/2025 08:32

@Lh4503ive got everything crossed for you 😊😊

bigbaggyblue · 24/10/2025 08:30

@EllieWalesim going to test on Wednesday too! I’ve been trying to find somewhere that sells first response tests that isn’t online but I’m struggling!

Lh4503 · 24/10/2025 07:12

Hi all, aww @MegLS im so sorry AF has arrived! It's so disheartening isn't it 😞I hope your okay and its not too bad.

I had spotting from 1dpo until about 7-8dpo (assuming from my ectopy) then it stopped and I've had a small amount of pink yesterday but nothing since, boobs are slightly tender. 12dpo today so only a few more days to wait. This is cycle 10 for me so I'm at the point where I've not got massive hope, im tired of this, just want it to happen soon. Won't be testing unless AF doesnt come!

Hope your all okay!

MegLS · 24/10/2025 06:42

@EllieWales the spotting kept going very lightly all the way through until yesterday when AF arrived properly, so annoying. On to cycle 6 of trying, really trying not to be down about it but struggling a bit! Hope the TWW goes quickly for you and @bigbaggyblue and you both get some good news!

@Lh4503 how are you getting on?

EllieWales · 23/10/2025 22:38

@bigbaggyblueI’m 4dpo today too planning on testing at 10 dpo which I think is next Wednesday?? Feels so far away! Any news @Lh4503 @MegLS?

bigbaggyblue · 23/10/2025 14:58

@EllieWales when are you planning on testing? I’m getting impatient πŸ˜‚ I’m only 4dpo

EllieWales · 22/10/2025 10:03

It’s like that @bigbaggyblue πŸ˜‚ I always thought I had regular cycles until I started TTC! I’ve tried to take a more laid back approach this month but we’ve been bang on with timing (no pun intended!) this month so I can’t help but be hopeful. Already planning my Christmas pregnancy announcement πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£ I know better but I can’t help myself!!

bigbaggyblue · 21/10/2025 20:12

@EllieWalesI suppose this stuff probably happens most months but because we aren’t interested in what’s happening if not TTC we don’t even notice! I’m going to do another LH test tonight just in case πŸ˜‚

EllieWales · 21/10/2025 16:40

That’s so weird @bigbaggyblue I’ve had the same today at 2dpo which I’ve found confusing also! Chat GPT says it can be residual fertile cm as progesterone hasn’t fully taken over yet πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

bigbaggyblue · 21/10/2025 16:28

Left a little confused so I believe I am 2DPO, positive LH test on Saturday and CM Sunday matched with ovulation. Then today I’ve had EWCM but much thicker and stringier… if that makes sense. My LH test last night was negative. What’s going on?
