This is my first cycle ttc for baby #3.

Fingers crossed for you, esp since your AF has started up again!

EMHW123 · 01/06/2017 12:24

Welcome to the madness clacton ☺️

Cheryl it might be..... ahhh I'm going nuts in my own head now! Think I'll do a test tomo, It's too early at only 9dpo but hey ho! 🙈

Clacton · 01/06/2017 13:54

Oh no don't test yet! Keep strong! Whatever the result you'll think it's because you think it will be too soon ☺️
What tests does everyone buy? I still have one clear blue left - not something I would normally buy but my OH thought he would treat me 😂 I'm definitely not buying another one of those though as they flash up "not pregnant" which seems to hurt more than just having one line...

EMHW123 · 01/06/2017 14:00

Ok think I'll leave it until Sunday! Ha! I've got 6 early clear blue 2 digital cb and 2 digital first response! Got the clear blues in work for pennies! Perk!

I prefer the not pregnant as then there is no pulling tests apart or looking at them under lights! 😂

Clacton · 01/06/2017 14:06

😂😂😂 I think I'm going to test a week on Sunday.

You know you're so right about the lighting! I may use my last clear blue this month.

I'm so glad there is a forum for us going through this - my oh is loving the baby making but think I might scare him if I go into any more details about how it works ha ha.

Cherylttcagain · 01/06/2017 14:53

Yes! Definitely, I don't want friends/fam/work know to we are trying but I think I'd go crazy keeping it all in my own head.

I bought some cheapo pink dye tests off amazon which arrived today. I will try to resist until closer to my AF date, ha!!

Implantation takes 2-4 days before there is anything in your urine to test. Maybe wait at least another 4 days if you're desperate to test :)

AngharadTheSplendid · 01/06/2017 15:41

Hi ladies can I join?

6dpo (I think) here! going to test on Sunday as got bfps with DD1 and DD2 at 9dpo. Symptom wise I feel like I've been weeing more and have bloodhound-like sense of smell. Could be imagining it of course but laundry detergent smells super strong on clothes and both my girls (7 months and 22 months) smell even more strongly of 'baby' than usual! a few cramps on and off too.

EMH that's a negative opk don't worry! Also, I think EWCM type stuff can be an early preg symptom.

Fingers crossed for us all!

AngharadTheSplendid · 01/06/2017 15:42

cheryl snap cycle 1 of trying for dc3! How old are your other 2?

EMHW123 · 01/06/2017 15:55

Hi ang! welcome!

Yeah it's negative but normally don't get any line at this point in my cycle.... hmmm time will tell!

All your symptoms sound positive!

Will wait until Sunday..... ha! 🙈

AngharadTheSplendid · 01/06/2017 16:30

EMW Ooh we're Sunday testing twins! Let's hope for 2 bfps to get the ball rolling on this thread!

Cherylttcagain · 01/06/2017 16:41

Hi Ang

Im 33 and my boys are 6 and 7!!! So its been a while since we did this!

EMHW123 · 01/06/2017 20:59

Ang I'm cramping bad got a little tinged CM..... dying to test on Sunday!

What's everyone's mad symptoms?!

Cherylttcagain · 01/06/2017 22:39

Nothing mad here, a few twinges 'down there' and a dull headache today and yesterday. I'm trying not to symptom spot, at least not for a few more days!!

LuluFlew · 01/06/2017 22:41

Loads of cm and v tired. 4/5dpo.
Due on 10-12th June, probably test around then. Not into early testing as scared of chemical preg - would rather not know. Symptom spot like a maniac though!

AngharadTheSplendid · 01/06/2017 23:39

cheryl ah they will love having a little bro or did I bet Smile

Can I add weird metallic taste in my mouth (though I did just have my first ever matcha tea... could be that??), knackered and stabby headache on one side of my head, which could definitely just be... a stabby headache!

AngharadTheSplendid · 01/06/2017 23:39

EMH tinged cm could be implantation!

Cherylttcagain · 02/06/2017 08:05

Hopefully they will be, they are fab with their baby/toddler cousins so fingers crossed.

Love reading all the symptoms, my fingers crossed for you all.

I'm sat here with porridge infront of me and I can hardly eat it. I just felt so nauseous and I thought I was going to be sick. Any of you feel your heart speed up a bit when you're gearing up to be sick. Urgh! 4dpo too early to start feeling sick?!

EMHW123 · 02/06/2017 09:22

Cheryl you never know!

Ang think I'm out.... I think I'm gearing up to an early Aunt Flo. I had a rogue 23 day cycle in feb, so may be another one of those, joy! Normally I'm 30 days.

If it's not in full flow by Sunday I'll test not holding out any hope at all.

I'll be on to cycle 10. Oh is going for SA if we aren't preg this month. Poor sod!

Good luck ladies!

Clacton · 02/06/2017 10:52

Oh no EMH! It's not over till it's in full swing and it could be implantation bleed!

I'm absolutely exhausted and also feel sick - but definitely think this could be more to do with the clammy weather than actual symptoms. Who knows! When I came off the implant I convinced myself I was pregnant and wasn't so trying really hard to not symptom spot this time around!! I think last time was just a rush of my natural hormones (which have been suppressed for the last 15 years) i hate jalapeños with a passion but suddenly couldn't stop eating them. Went off them again after eating them with every meal for a month 😂😂😂

emanne · 02/06/2017 14:54

Can I join please?

Af due 8th June, CD 27 think I o around the 27/28th Hmm having a few symptoms (I know it's probably too early!!) but feel different to ones I get with AF so not sure what I'm feeling or if it's all in my head!!! X

EMHW123 · 02/06/2017 15:12

Hiya ema! Welcome!

Clacton that does sound a bit off, how long have you been trying? Does this feel different?

Thanks god for this forum I feel sorry for the men, mine is patient bit he's no real grasp of just how much this fucks your head up! 🙈
Kasabian you're in love with a psycho isn't far off right now! 😂🙊

Cherylttcagain · 02/06/2017 15:48

Hi Emanna, what kind of symptons have you been having?

I think even my hubby is starting to get impatient as I was crying over nothing earlier and he wanted to know how soon I can test. Oppps, think I'm rubbing off on him! I'm trying not to be too hopeful because I dont want to be too disappointed if AF comes.

Yeah, these forums are brilliant :)

emanne · 02/06/2017 16:36

The list is getting longer but I feel like I'm partly imagining them lol! My nipples are so sore and delicate and a little darker round the edges I usually get boob pain before af but never experienced it like this before lower back pain, think I'm around 7/8dpo today and had a weird shooting/sharp pain in the bottom of the left part of my belly, felt knackered all day I'm considering going to sleep now lol!

I feel the same about trying not to get my hopes up! Many months I've thought that this is the month then AF arrives Sad

LinzLinz · 02/06/2017 16:55

Hi all can I join in please! This is my first month off the pill, trying for baby number 1. I took my last pill on the 12th may. Seemed to ovulate straight away (CM) but obviously have no idea what my cycle will do! I'd normally be due AF around the 15th so this could be my TWW. Loads of hormonal symptoms, the main one being sore nipples (not whole boob), even the water in the shower hurts but very aware it's probably symptoms from coming off the pill but fingers crossed though and good luck to everyone else! 🌸

AngharadTheSplendid · 02/06/2017 17:59

Welcome em and Linz!

Linz a friend of my just came off pill after 17 years and got knocked up first cycle! Fingers crossed for the same for you.

EMH I heard heavy implantation bleed could mean twins lol! Hoping for you that the witch is not on her way.

I cannot shake this metal taste in my mouth it's soooo strong. I even just googled 'matcha tea aftertaste' but sounds like it doesn't really have one... laundry detergent still smells strong too. Knackered but that'll be having 2 dc under 2! Was tempted to test this morning but I know that's ridiculous as only 7/8dpo.
