Luckily I'm away in a campervan with no tests! However straight to work tomorrow afternoon where there are drawers of tests lying around... Will try to hold out for Monday FMU though. No symptoms at all over here though

WineAndTiramisu · 08/07/2017 11:01

Oh and congratulations to all the BFP's!

Vicsteur81 · 08/07/2017 13:26

Hi all, been lurking but not posting! i'm very early days only six dpo and thought i was just out of the window when we dtd but realised after we were two days before ov! i've been quite queasy all week and thought i was getting that sickness bug that's doing the rounds but i think it would have been even over and done with by now. AF isn't due til 17th so now the thought has crossed my mind i have a long old wait! good luck to everyone

StrangeWifey · 08/07/2017 17:53

Nope, no period symptoms at all, and other than underlying sicky feeling no pregnancy symptoms either... oh, except that I just finished a whole packet of Thorntons Fudge Brownies, which could actually just be me being greedy Grin

We haven't really tried this month, although we've dtd a few times, so I was a little shocked when AF didn't arrive... I really have no idea what's going on!!

Good luck @wineandtiramisu and @whyhastherumgone

StrangeWifey · 08/07/2017 22:57

Think I'm out this month guys ... sorry if tmi but just went to the toilet and wiped and there was blood and I've got the regular cramps. My fingers are x'd for the rest of you!!

Vicsteur81 · 08/07/2017 23:03

Welcome @whyhastherumgone

Oh I'm sorry @StrangeWifey x

BFN today... So definitely not hopeful this month!

whyhastherumgone · 09/07/2017 15:55

sorry strangewifey and wine :( I think i'm going to be in the same boat to be honest - i feel like it's way too early to have symptoms so everything im experiencing is probably just coincidence

Bumpkin21 · 09/07/2017 18:30

I think I'm might be out this month too. I have cramps and backache which are way too similar to AF :( Still 5 days to wait and see though...

WineAndTiramisu · 10/07/2017 09:41

BFN on FMU today, so now to wait for AF, we'll all hopefully get there in the end :-)

ally62442 · 10/07/2017 09:57

No Af yet for me. Although I had all the pre period symptoms last night so I'm sure I'll see the witch today. Plus I had quite a big drop in temp this morning too. So think I'm deffo out this month. I'm still going to cling on to any bit of hope until AF does arrive tho.

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 10:25

Wine how dpo are you?

ally there's hope yet! Don't give up, although sometimes I find it easier to assume the worst.

I've gone off eggs, which is exactly what happened last time, but there's part of me that thinks this is just mind over matter rather than an actual symptom as I think it will be way early. Last time was a complete surprise so I can't really remember whether I had any symptoms in the 2ww but I do remember feeling quite unwell and thinking I was coming down with something.

So far I'm being quite good at resisting the urge to test as I know it will be pointless [I'm 7-8 dpo as I'm not 100% on the exact day of ov although I think it was last monday]. I'm quite convinced AF will arrive bang on time tho...

ally62442 · 10/07/2017 10:53

Thats it @whyhastherumgone I'm going to expect the worse but hope for the best.

I have quite a selfish partner an as I've been quite obsessive this month with it being our first attempt at TTC. It's put him off trying again next month. So I really want this to be it. Just incase he changes his mind. It was hard enough convincing him the time was right in the first place.

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 10:57

Ah ally that sucks - do you think he's likely to change his mind?
Maybe if it doesn't work out this month [everything crossed it does!] you can do your obsessing here with us, and maintain a calm outlook at home Grin
I think it can be a bit bewildering for the menfolk when we suddenly get super obsessed and start talking about DPO etc!

Fingers toes and eyes crossed you do get a BFP very soon!

ally62442 · 10/07/2017 17:42

@whyhastherumgone Well I'm going to stop mentioning every little thing to him now. An see how that goes 🙈.

I'm pretty sure AF is going to arrive tomorrow. Surprised it hasn't today tbh.

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 17:44

I'll send you my best BUGGER OFF AF vibes.

ally62442 · 11/07/2017 08:47

Thanks @whyhastherumgone

Still no sign of AF coming although I had a really strong feeling that it. My cp is confusing me to. It's super soft after being quite hard the other day. From everything I've read about cp I presumed if AF was coming it would be hard and dry up there. Where as mine is soft with quite a bit of CM (tmi)

Vicsteur81 · 11/07/2017 08:54

How's everyone getting on?

I think I've spotted the first sign of AF this morning. Although I've had zero of my usual symptoms. So glad my body is predicable Hmm

FX that we get more bfp's this month. Who else is on for August though?

OP posts:
whyhastherumgone · 11/07/2017 09:07

That is strange ally - I have to confess I don't pay much attention to CM etc, I've taken quite a low key approach at the moment with a 'see what happens' for a few months, then will get down to properly trying if nothing actually happens.

I think I'll probably be on for AF this month, so expect I will be joining you in August @vicsteur81 as I've woken up feeling completely normal today - AF due on Sunday-Monday.

WineAndTiramisu · 11/07/2017 18:14

whyhastherumgone - to be honest, this month is confusing as I used norethisterone last month, but AF should be arriving today or tomorrow I think, but may be a bit later due to the meds

ally62442 · 11/07/2017 18:24

I may have taken symptom spotting to a whole new level today! 😂😂😂 TMI warning.

Has anyone ever heard of Chadwicks Sign? Well it's an actual thing where your vulva can turn purple/blue because of the extra bloody flow in early pregnancy. Well I look purple down there which is totally not normal. Unless it's something I get close to Af and I've just never noticed! Any one else had this?

StrangeWifey · 11/07/2017 19:08

@vicsteur81 I'll be trying until I'm pregnant at the moment, so definitely trying in August!

Vicsteur81 · 11/07/2017 19:24

FX for you @ally62442, epic symptom spotting! I feel like you deserve a medal, or a crown, Queen of the symptoms.

High five @StrangeWifey and @whyhastherumgone August will be our month!

The AF witch is giving me all sorts of ridiculousness. So far what I've had could barely be called spotting. I also feel like I'm coming down with a helluva cold. I'm tired, headachey, and my whole body feels heavy. YAY! Can it be done now, can we start again? I'm probably also hormonal, hence the big ol' moan. Sorry.

AF arrived this morning! I feel completely tricked by my body! 😭
