Going to wait until Saturday or Sunday I think!

MummyG, this wait is loooooong lol.

dtnvdoo · 06/06/2017 22:37

Hi,
Im new here but thought I could use some support as well as give some. Im 4 days away from my period, tested twice and it was neg. It s so difficult to wait! I am still hoping for a missed period Grin

dtnvdoo · 06/06/2017 22:40

it s my first time trying and I didnt anticipate the obsession it would bring! Every symptome feels like im pregnant, cramping, mood, nausea, tired etc

McTufty · 06/06/2017 22:59

dtnv I agree, I had no idea it would take over my mind in this way! 4 days out still so you might still get that BFP, the early tests aren't always reliable. Fingers crossed!

cheryl good luck for the weekend, keep us posted!

mummyg those symptoms do sound promising though! Roll on 8 days time!

Nothing new here. Still cramping but that's it. Boobs not sore at all Angry

Cherylttcagain · 06/06/2017 23:10

This is our first cycle (fingers crossed for baby #3) and we said we would be relaxed about it. I am the same as you ladies though, I don't think I've thought about or analysed my body as much as this last month!

Don't worry Mctufty, I had no sore boobs or morning sickness or cramps with my first 2. No symptoms showing up is better then AF showing up :)

dtnvdoo · 07/06/2017 06:35

It is reassuring to see that I am not alone with my body analysis and thus not crazy haha. I am crossing fingers and toes for us all! After all, I see so many babies around daily, should be our time soon too!

MummyGofboys · 07/06/2017 06:53

@Cherylttcagain this will be baby number three for us too.

@dtnvdoo Iv never analysed my cycle this much until this one.

@McTufty We shall see. Trying to not get my hopes up lol xx

LimpLettice · 07/06/2017 08:42

Morning ladies. 3 days til AF due, threw up again for the third morning in a row, clearblue digi at 6am bfn again. I have got to stop testing and worrying, but it's so crazy making.

I had no symptoms at all with DD, so it's not nec an indicator.

KubaLeebre · 07/06/2017 09:23

DPO 8. Bloody caved and tested, BFN. Sigh.

Well ladies, I think I'm out 😩

What I thought was an implantation bleed has not stopped so I'm rewarding myself with a massive Starbucks this morning with caffeine (I've been on decaf, alongside not touching alcohol etc just in case) and I might have pate and soft cheese tonight as a big fingers up to AF!

I'm fuming in all honesty, whilst it was unlikely I've never had sickness, food aversions and nausea like this before. I'm also now well aware I need to test my body properly as I'm sure I will have missed my OD as AF is 1 week early. So, what opk's does everyone recommend? Back to baby dancing for me!

Good luck to those still in!

LinzLinz · 07/06/2017 10:17

There's still time yet @KubaLeebre, stay positive :)

Sorry to hear @Clacton enjoy your treats, make the most of them, I hope next month will be your month! 🌸

McTufty · 07/06/2017 10:30

linzlinz

How are you feeling? I'm so excited that you got a positive! That's my first TTC thread buddy BFP!

clacton

Sorry to hear that. I have had the clear blue monitors recommended to me (not that I've used any OPKs yet) and been told that the cheap amazon ones don't seem reliable.

kubaleebre

That's really early so don't lose heart yet! Got everything crossed for you Smile

limplettuce the early tests aren't always accurate so fingers crossed in a few days you get your BFP!

I'm in a strange situation, I've been having 'menstrual' cramps, which I was hoping was implantation. I am first month off pill so an unknown cycle which could be all over the place, but today I found (sorry TMI) some stretchy CM, but it wasn't totally clear, it was sort of cloudy. I wondered if it could be semen (sorry again!) but apparently this is very liquid several hour and post BD so this is unlikely. I am now wondering if I'm ovulating today as my cervix feels very high.

I was certain I had ovulated last week because of very wet liquid CM for a couple of days then a bit of EWCM, followed by cloudy the next day.

I have no idea what any of this means, and was secretly hoping I could test next week for last week's 'ovulation'. We DTD today just in case. I have heard CM can be all over the place post conception with some getting loads of creamy CM and some being pretty much dry but I couldn't find much about my odd looking stuff!

Or alternatively these cramps are actually pre menstrual cramps, hope not not least because I'm in a remote hotel on an isolated tropical island and didn't bring any stuff with me assuming no AF for 4 weeks post pill

McTufty · 07/06/2017 10:30

*several hours post BD

LinzLinz · 07/06/2017 10:40

Hey @McTufty I'm still not convinced it was a positive, it was so faint?! I'm going to re test on Friday/ Saturday! I've been playing around on photo editor with the contrast etc to see if I can make out more of a line lol... what do you think??

ClearBlue Strippers
McTufty · 07/06/2017 10:43

I am the wrong person to ask as I've never taken one but the wise ladies upthread seemed to think so! Remind me how many days before AF due you were? If taken in advance it will be fainter I think. Great will power waiting till Saturday!

McTufty · 07/06/2017 10:44

(I can definitely make out a line personally!)

LinzLinz · 07/06/2017 10:46

I took it a few days ago and I'm not due on until the 15th so I have another week yet! We only decided to come off the pill mid May so it's quite a nerve wracking but exciting time! It's all I can think about now! It's so exciting sharing everyone's journeys!

LimpLettice · 07/06/2017 10:59

That is a line Linz!

I'm in the same boat McTufty in that I'm basically estimating this month, and assumed nothing would happen. It's the morning pukes and heavy veiny chest that has thrown me.

8dpo v early to test Kuba, fingers crossed for you.

McTufty · 07/06/2017 11:07

linzlinz

How have you taken your AF due date? I'm also just off the pill, I've assumed for now a regular 28 day cycle (I vaguely remember that happening when I came off once before but I'm not sure). 20% catch in the first month apparently so hopefully that test shows you're one!

limplettuce

Those are very encouraging symptoms! You're still 3 days away so time for the BFP yet!

McTufty · 07/06/2017 11:07

And actually you might be further away than 3 days if you're estimating...

LinzLinz · 07/06/2017 11:13

It's just a guess @McTufty based on a regular 28 day cycle, so if I was still on the pill I'd get AF on the 15th, however I'm pretty sure I ovulated about a week after stopping the pill which would indicate I've actually missed my AF!

McTufty · 07/06/2017 11:16

Oh let's hope so! I read somewhere (not an official NHS site so I don't know) that after coming off the pill you can ovulate very quickly, in days, so let's hope that's what happened to you (and me Smile)

LinzLinz · 07/06/2017 11:19

Eeeeek! 😬 good luck!!

dtnvdoo · 07/06/2017 11:48

Has anyone had LED skin light treatment while tryigng or being pregnant? My gyno says its ok but the skin center says it s not 🤔

dtnvdoo · 07/06/2017 11:51

Clacton - I'm sorry to hear but I sure love your snack system!!! 🖒🖒🖒
