@whytheheck me i know exactly what you mean! Months of not trying but not preventing and didnt bat an eyelid at any supposed symptoms but as soon as we actively start trying every twinge, itch, sneeze etc is a possible symptom lol.
All ive got is increased peeing (tho i pee alot anyway), and my nipples feel like the are bruised- this alone is weird , ive never felt them like this before and cant rem if id sore nipples during my 2 pregnancies as they were both surprises! Lol. Typical!

ThreeAfter30 · 12/08/2017 15:14

@Nicolle468 suppose experience in whats normal and whats not is the silver lining if af arrives. Though i do think our bodies like to mess with us when it comes to the tww lol

Gennz · 12/08/2017 22:42

Hi ladies

Just wanted to belatedly join you! I'm 8dpo - positive OPK on CD 16 - so trying to hold out til AF is due on the 17th.

I've convinced myself I must be - I am ravenously hungry!! Yesterday I ate a snickers at 3.30pm to tide me over between afternoon tea and dinner at 5.30pm 😳🐷 we had been skiing but it wasn't THAT arduous...

cottoncandee · 13/08/2017 09:08

@Chooklass I know it's difficult to TTC when there's loss of a close family. My sister TTC when her DH just lost his grandpa, who was really close to him cause he pretty much was the one who raised him. And for them TTC seem to work gives him something positive to focus on.

@SydBound27 definitely not the only one! I've tested at 8 DPO on some cycles.

@WhyTheHeckMe I symptom spotted sometimes but what I've learnt is that the symptoms are always different. Though that doesn't stop me from symptom spotting and wondering afterwards.

Chooklass · 13/08/2017 11:50

I'm not noticing any symptoms yet (only 4dpo though). First month TTC I had ALL the symptoms of pregnancy, I'm trying to symptom spot less now but it's tough! One thing to be wary of is the effect pregnancy vits and a healthier TTC diet can have on hormones - can make you feel different from normal, and add to 2WW angst!!! 😬

Some of you must be getting close to testing now? Exciting! 🤞❤️

Chooklass · 13/08/2017 11:52

@cottoncandee That's good to know, thanks. I'd love to give him some happy news this month xx

loobylou124 · 13/08/2017 13:17

Gah, I think I'm out for this month, girls. Have got bleeding today which seems too heavy to be implantation bleeding, even though AF isn't due for another for days. Still, this was our first month trying so it would have been pretty unusual to get knocked up straight away Wink Fingers x for next month x

loobylou124 · 13/08/2017 13:43

Can anyone recommend good opks? Might need to invest in some if my cycles are as up the shoot as they seem to be! X

Chooklass · 13/08/2017 14:07

Aw, you never know looby, fingers crossed.

I've tried Clearblue digi, which give you a smiley face or a blank circle - I found the clarity of these useful compared to interpreting the darkness of lines, but they are not cheap! I used Boots own on 2nd month which also worked fine for me, just a bit less certain with lines. I used opk for 2 cycles just to check all is as expexted, but going to ditch them now that I'm more confident of when I ovulate xxx

TheGrumpySquirrel · 13/08/2017 14:39

I am testing tomorrow morning (12DPO / CD27) but resigned to a BFN, I feel totally normal! Very bloated but that is usual around now.

Betsyboo87 · 13/08/2017 14:42

Hi everyone, I'm a little late to the party but hopefully you don't mind me joining.

I'm 11dpo and af is due on the 18th. This is cycle 8 for me so getting c impatient! I've had spotting since 8dpo (not usual for me) and sore boobs but nothing out of the ordinary.

Polly85 · 13/08/2017 17:37

Hi everyone, I'm 6/7dpo and am lying here feeling low level nausea. Is this just one of those things, or could it poss be a symptom? Thanks in advance xx

Nissi7 · 13/08/2017 18:42

Hey everyone hope you all had a good weekend.

I think im about 6/7dpo. Feel so tired the last few days, even had some naps 😅 ive also felt low level nausea and had pains in belly. I dunno if im looking into it too much, and making it worse. Anyone testing 2mo. X

Polly85 · 13/08/2017 19:44

Haha @Nissi7 snap

TheGrumpySquirrel · 13/08/2017 19:47

Testing in the morning eek 😬 had some cramps and sore boobs on and off but I've no idea really. I'll be 12DPO

Nissi7 · 13/08/2017 19:53

Polly85 its a nightmare aint it,any small thing. What cycle is this for you.x

TheGrumpySquirrel so exciting wishing you a bfp. 😆 x

SydBound27 · 13/08/2017 20:03

Welcome @Betsy!

Let's be honest I'll probably be testing every day this week so I'll join the fun in the morning. Symptoms have pretty much gone today (tender boobs etc) so not hopeful...!

Fingers crossed ladies xx

Hi guys and welcome newcomers!

So my holding off testing till AF due was an absolute pipe dream. I tested this morning at either 9 or 10dpo. I knew I'd expect to see nothing and guess what, I saw nothing Envy whyyyy can't I just wait!

I've also felt like I've had symptoms on and off but then today I've felt nothing at all.

Let the testing week commence! :-)

I have been lurking! First cycle 3 previous prenancies a 9 year old a 5 year old and a miscarriage (with the coil still in) in September. This is cycle 1, I'm 29 years old.

Due to test on the 18th but thought I would do an internet cheapy this morning

I'm sure there is a very faint line. What do u all think

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 13/08/2017 21:43

I have a feeling that I'm out. Have a case of mild cramps that just feel like the end of the road, but it was worth a shot. I ov'ed last Sunday so was hoping for a normal 2ww but that was a bit optimistic. I'll be here waiting, you witch Grin

Annabelle4 · 13/08/2017 21:45

FrogQueen, I think I see it in your second picture. Very faint, but something. Hopefully our first bfp Grin

I'm 8dpo. Will test on Tuesday.

northernlass81 · 13/08/2017 21:54

Hi all. Please can I join you. Cycle 2 post MMC, about 8 dpo today, AF due on the 19th. Some odd symptoms but trying to not over think them -not easy. Had a migraine yesterday evening which is unusual for me as not had one for a couple of years apart from the one I had about 7/8 dpo in the cycle I got pregnant with the MMC back in March, so it obviously means it will be a BFP this month! I have been a bit crampy today but nothing else to report. Time will tell.

Frogqueen13 I can def see something on the horizontal pic but it doesn't look very pink yet. Will keep my fingers crossed for you. Are you testing again tomorrow? You are still testing v early if not due till Fri. Good luck

Frogqueen13 · 13/08/2017 21:55

Yikes, My husband is out of the country until 25th and uncontactable! Fingers crossed.

Frogqueen13 · 13/08/2017 21:56

I can't test until Wednesday night now as I'm in a tent with the kids so I can't even have a wee on my own !

northernlass81 · 13/08/2017 22:12

Frog I'm impressed with your ability to hold off testing! I think I'd have to find a way to sneak to the loos with a tub. Fingers crossed.
