Anybody else? I'm on CD16, pretty sure I ovulated over the past day or two, now for the long frustrating wait to POAS! Why is it so hard to resist for 14 measly days?!

We are TTC #2 and this is our first cycle of trying.

@AlwaysInJods I've definitely read that it can be a good indicator! So sounds very positive! I had the opposite with my previous pregnancy and had nothing and nothing throughout my pregnancy so I'm not a good example to go by! As I said though when I've been reading up on symptoms lots of white/creamy cm has been noted lots!

@GlamourBear yes, he has the patience of a saint with me... saying that I think ignorance is bliss! He's happy not really understanding it all and leaving me on Mumsnet 😂

GlamourBear · 29/08/2018 08:01

@AlwaysInJods 😂 yes I think mine would rather I just stop whittling on until I get a bfp! Hoping that will be soon 😊

Morning ladies! How is everyone this morning? Currently 7DPO and resisted testing so far! I just know it will be negative so not putting myself through it. Age 29, TTC #1 Currently on cycle 3 after an early MC on cycle one. Anyone else 7DPO? Boobs are killing and got a (TMI really sorry) white milky CM. Anyone else? Driving myself a bit mad haha!

Welcome @Fae1989 I'm 11dpo with really similar symptoms. Sorry to hear of your MC. Fx for your this month xx

ChikiTIKI · 29/08/2018 10:01

@LaYC congrats!!

Sounds like there will be a few BFPs based on everyone's symptoms!

I've been feeling bloated and really uncomfortable when I lean forwards, had some light cramping too. Nothing to write home about though. Last night was that first night we let it go more than 2 days without having sex. I think I already ovulated on Friday or Saturday last week though. I wanted to have sex "to be sure", but felt too tired!

Fae1989 · 29/08/2018 13:40

@AlwaysInJods fingers crossed for you lovely! It's promising to have similar symptoms, let's hope it's our month! Have you tested yet? I'm holding out until Saturday at least

@ChikiTIKI fingers crossed for you too! When is AF due for you? Mine due on 3rd September and I want her to stay clear of me ha ha.

Day 27 of 27 or 28 day cycle and still bfn yesterday but still awful afternoon nausea same as with my dd and (tmi) but lots of creamy white discharge down below never seen since last pregnancy!

ChikiTIKI · 29/08/2018 14:47

Thanks @Fae1989 fingers crossed for you too.
My AF is due on 9th Sept supposedly... That's based on my average 35 day cycle.

Think I'm checking at least twice a day at the moment on how many days left until I can do a test!

LottieB87 · 29/08/2018 14:58

Hi ladies! Mind if I join the thread? TTC cycle #3 baby #1. I O'd on 21st (confirmed with temps) so am 8dpo. I think same as you GlamourBear?

Trying to hold out testing til sun/mon or even waiting for AF on Tues.. yeah yeah...

Definitely felt ovulation happen on the left side. Felt sort of tingly/niggly on that side 5/6dpo and had kind of tingly/achey BBs since, neither of which I've had before. I've also had a really sore lower back today - couldn't walk properly at lunch time. Also unusual for me. I should be in some sort of symptom spotters anonymous programme though, I'm pretty sure I can think my way into feeling stuff... No increase in temp.

Managed to DTD -3 -2 and day of O. Last 2 months we only managed O-1. Hoping our increased efforts paid off!

As well as temping I've been using CB advanced OPKs. This cycle went straight to solid (2 days after EWCM started) and last time went flashing AM to solid PM on the same day (2 days after EWCM started). Ultimately didn't get the '4 days' they're meant to give but from the previous cycle pattern I knew the CM meant GET TO IT!

Anyway. GOOD LUCK to you all! Look forward to squinting with you over the next few days!

LaYC · 29/08/2018 15:12

Not long until you find out @GreatestShowWoman!!

There’s quite a few positive symptoms in this chat now! I’m fingers crossed for you all!

GlamourBear · 29/08/2018 15:28

Fingers crossed for everybody!

I'm struggling to hold out now, but still got the FRER hidden in the drawer. What is it about POAS?!

OP posts:
LaYC · 29/08/2018 15:50

@glamourbear it doesn’t stop after you get a positive either!!!

GlamourBear · 29/08/2018 15:52

No I remember checking for days and days after I goty bfp with DC1 @LaYC! I'm sure I'll be the same next time too 🙈

OP posts:
GlamourBear · 29/08/2018 15:58

@LottieB87 yes looks like we are at the same point on our cycle! I'm due on 6th but usually start spotting a few days before. I know I should really wait until early next week but if my internet cheapies arrive before the weekend I know I'll be too tempted!

loveshinealight · 29/08/2018 16:14

I'll join! Cycle #1 trying to conceive #2!

My last period was August 2nd. I'm really not sure when I ovulated either. I am still breastfeeding DD but my periods have been pretty regular 33 day cycles. This cycle there has been a severe lack of EWCM. We managed to Do the deed several times over what I think would be my fertile window so now it's just a waiting game! I conceived my DD on my first cycle so hoping for the same 🤞🏻

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 16:59

Thank you @Fae1989 yes I tested yesterday pm and got a BFN... trying to convince myself it's too early 🙈

@GreatestShowWoman exactly the same!! I feel my body is taunting me 😩😩

Welcome @loveshinealight and @LottieB87 lovely to have two more 😝

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 17:00

@GreatestShowWoman can you remember how far you were when you got your BFP last time around? Fx'd for you xx

Fae1989 · 29/08/2018 17:49

Hello to @loveshinealight and @LottieB87 good luck to you both, you’re in good company.

AlwaysInJods - you never know til AF appears! I didn’t get a faint positive til 12dpo and loads of my friends didn’t get positives til after AF. We are all so different! Fingers crossed. I find it so annoying that Pms symptoms are so similar!!

Lots of luck to all you other ladies on here. I’m rubbish at keeping up with threads up I’m sending you positive thoughts!

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 20:30

@Fae1989 that's reassuring to hear, thank you 😘

I've had the tiniest bit of spotting this evening, light pink. I think 12dpo is too late for IB? Have never had this before.

Fae1989 · 29/08/2018 20:42

@AlwaysinJods - not sure about that one, maybe if it implants slightly later? When is AF due for you? I assume that people who test positive earlier must implant earlier? I’m definitely a later one haha! X

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 20:45

That's what I'm thinking... I'm due AF on Friday? Or it may just be the start of AF... I'm googling now 🤓

GreatestShowWoman · 29/08/2018 22:37

@AlwaysInJods 12dpo
