Some of you may recognize my username from the pregnancy and miscarriage boards. DH and I have been TTC since September 2016 and I had a MMC in January followed by an early MC in May. We took a break but got back on the wagon last month and this is our second month of TTC again.

I think I ovulated yesterday and we have DTD three times in the last four days, so I'm hopeful this might be the month for us! AF is due on 3rd September and I know it's going to be a long wait. Anyone want to join for some 2ww support? Smile

@emilyjayne1990 congratulations! Glad you've got your bfp.

A14dpo and another bfn for me. Still spotting but no full force AF. If I'm not pregnant my body is doing some weird things it hasn't done before but surely something would show up by now on a FRER if I was! Maybe it's psychosomatic and body has actually tricked itself!

loobylou124 · 28/08/2017 09:15

Woohoo @emily great news! Hang in there @biscay, it's not over till it's over.

In on 3dpo today and feeling all sorts of weirdness going on. Next to no CM, twinges, pinches, chronic boob ache, hot flushes, weird dreams... I'm sure most of it is the start of a cold or something but if this seriously is the start of pregnancy what the frick are the next eight months going to be like? Confused x

Fia256 · 28/08/2017 09:25

Congratulations @emilyjayne1990 hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!!

10dpo here, had 1 tiny bit of brown spotting/tinged cm yesterday but nothing else since. Had ewcm yesterday too. Full of cold and exhausted all day for the last 3 days and had a pinching/burning feeling 8dpo. Abroad with no tests left and not come across any shops big enough with them in yet! Bfn 9dpo though! Hate waiting around

emilyjayne1990 · 28/08/2017 09:35

Thank you everyone 😊

@loobylou124 I've had boob ache for the last week - but they are tender to touch not really a constant ache!

@Fia256 I've got a stinking cold. Had a sniffly nose since last week and now it's a full blown cold. I've heard it happens in early pregnancy because your immune system isn't concentrating on fighting off a cold!

EsmeGNU · 28/08/2017 09:37

How am I only dpo 7........why is two weeks so long. Arrrrggggghhhh. I feel like I'm wishing my life away, but also seriously why is time so slow!

Piewraith · 28/08/2017 09:41

Congrats @Emilyjayne1990, how exciting!

felicityheather · 28/08/2017 09:47

Congrats @emilyjayne1900. Lovely news! I originally thought I ovulated on the 16th, then the 19th, now it looks from my temps it was actually the 22nd. I've gone from being 12dpo to 6dpo!! So frustrating! Luckily we were dtd all the way through this period so I'm assuming there's still hope! Feel really nauseous this morning in bed which is very unlike me, but it looks now like its too soon after ovulation to have symptoms. Ahhh! This is so obsessive!!

PabloEscobarlo · 28/08/2017 09:48

Oh @emilyjayne1990 do you think the cold thing is true? I have an awful cold and it's s hot here at the moment that it's quite strange!

emilyjayne1990 · 28/08/2017 09:52

@PabloEscobarlo I'm not sure! But I remember when I was pregnant with my son I had the sniffly nose, I don't remember getting a cold though. But then again I don't remember many of my symptoms! And it was only 2 years ago!
But I've not really been anywhere to catch a cold, my husband hasn't got it and we've not been ill in our house since Christmas!

PabloEscobarlo · 28/08/2017 09:55

@emilyjayne1990 how strange!!! Here's hoping!!!

emilyjayne1990 · 28/08/2017 09:56

I'll keep everything crossed for you!! X

felicityheather · 28/08/2017 10:03

Ok. Maybe TMI but also super veiny boobs which I have never seen before!

emilyjayne1990 · 28/08/2017 10:25

I've heard that can be a symptom. It's not happened to me personally yet though.
While we're on the TMI point, my CM has been extremely thick and creamy. That was another thing that made me wonder!

gerriberry · 28/08/2017 13:01

Can I join too. Currently 3dpo. AF due 07 Sept!! Not feeling very hopeful this month though as DH was away the day i ovulated so last bd was 2 days before ovulation!!

Bubble04 · 28/08/2017 13:17

How late can implantation happen? AF due 5th sept, but no idea when I ovulated. Not that organised! Just getting shooting pains on my left side in about the right place... just thought it would be too late... probably overthinking again...
In the subject of overthinking... I hope I don't start bleeding. Stuck at the England test match for the day very ill prepared and wearing white trousers lol 😂

Bubble04 · 28/08/2017 13:20

Ps, if my posts have lots of typos it's because I can't see what I'm typing thanks to my eldest DS dropping my phone... I canny see the bottom half lol x

Bubble04 · 28/08/2017 13:21

Canny? 😂 oh my word...
Can't

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 28/08/2017 14:10

Bubble implantation is usually 6-12 days dpo so that could work

Bubble04 · 28/08/2017 14:16

Ooh fingers crossed. I should be more organised and track my cycles. I just worry I'll start to obsess... (like I'm not anyway!) x

Opensesame1 · 28/08/2017 14:21

Now 6dpo and have been experiencing the worst pms I have had in a long time!!! Moody and snappy and cranky at the silliest things!!! 😪😪😪

PabloEscobarlo · 28/08/2017 14:36

@Bubble04 where is your pain? I'm wondering if mine is in the right place now?

Bubble04 · 28/08/2017 14:44

@PabloEscobarlo haha I'm not exactly sure, but where I get period pains. That's where I got the pain with my last DS. That one was so intense they sent me to a and e though. Not that bad this time!

PabloEscobarlo · 28/08/2017 14:51

@Bubble04 I'm glad it's not so bad this time

Sictransitgloria · 28/08/2017 14:54

This is just driving me to insanity now.

Negative test with a frer today. Due AF on Weds. Not hopeful.

I haven't had my usual pre-menstrual symptoms either. My boobs feel like balloons but they aren't sore like they usually are pre AF.

I think my body is playing tricksy.

Bubble04 · 28/08/2017 15:12

@Sictransitgloria it's horrible isn't it. I'm pretty sure it's not my month, but every little twinge is a sign one way or the other. I honestly think I probably get all these symptoms every month when we're not ttc, but just don't pay attention.
