Hi all, I'm 25 we we are TTC baby number one. I came off the pill in January but this is the first month that we have started trying due to a pre-cooked holiday. According to the app, I'm 4dpo and 11 days until AF.
For the last couple of days, I've had awful back and shoulder ache, a pain in my lower abdomen and my breasts appear larger and veiny. For the last couple of days my mum has said I look unwell. I'm sure I'm over thinking this. Roll on FR test!

Pre-booked not pre-cooked. Thanks auto correct!!

I’m also 30, we’re TTC number 2. It happened before without even trying and now on cycle 3 and feeling stressed already (I know that’s now actually long at all) but I kind of just expected it to happen especially as we DTD lots in the run up to and on day of OV. Usually have 31 day cycles but this this month AF decided to arrive 5 days early and completely throw everything out

Huge congratulations @LauMoore !

I have had ovulation spotting for the first month ever this month. I had it on day 13 and 14 of my cycle. I was speechless and relieved and it's meant to be a good sign of fertility so I'm really hoping it won't take too long before we conceive. I'm on day 16 of my cycle so another 10 days until I can do a pregnancy test... why can't I press fast forward on the 2WW?! I wouldn't say I've had any symptoms but with my DD I didn't have any symptoms apart from a missed period so I try not to look into that too much.

WJSCJH · 17/04/2019 13:42

And I can relate 20TinkerBell20 ! With my first it happened almost immediately and without really trying. Now, we've been trying... 10 months for baby number 2! I still can't believe how difficult it's been this time round :( Hoping it doesn't take much longer for you!

Latetothegame83 · 17/04/2019 13:53

Can I join you ladies?! I'm 35, baby #1.

Technically this is my first month, came off mini pill in February. I have been waiting for AF's and cycles to regulate so we aren't actively trying as such (only one AF so far). More we have stopped not trying and see what happens. Would love it to naturally happen before I get too obsessive.....we'll see what happens

20TinkerBell20 · 18/04/2019 10:39

WJSCJH Thankyou and same to you too. I guess you take things like this for granted especially when it happens so easily first time round, that it comes as a bit of a shock when second time round it takes more thinking about. Fingers crossed for you!!! My app says O day is Saturday but since last night I’ve had period pains and bloated feeling. DTD just incase last night but feel like my cycle is a mess and feels like AF is on the way 18 days early

SquigglyOne · 21/04/2019 05:08

9dpo and got the worlds faintest possible BFP (big fat positive)! That coupled with the fact I have sore boobs and am extremely irritable (lol) is giving me hope 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Robbo93 · 21/04/2019 08:58

Ooo sounds good @SquigglyOne !! Xx

SquigglyOne · 22/04/2019 06:55

Got this this morning. Still pretty faint but darker than yesterday’s one 🤞🤞
Praying this one sticks!!

SquigglyOne · 22/04/2019 06:58

Are you going to test soon @Robbo93? Xx

Robbo93 · 22/04/2019 07:13

@SquigglyOne amazing!! Congrats!! Think positive. It will be a sticky bean :)

No I'm not gonna test this cycle as we haven't actively tried so kinda want AF to arrive for a change lol. I'm on CD22 and not sure if I even ovulated this month as I didn't catch a positive OPK when I was testing xx

WJSCJH · 23/04/2019 13:14

Congratulations @SquigglyOne How fab to get a BFP so early too!

I'm approx 9dpo and experienced a very light, light pink spotting twice after going to the loo this morning (hoping it's IB but who knows). I've also been non-stop weeing the last few days and actually had some motion sickness in the car yesterday which brought back a load of pregnancy memories with my head out of the car window as I used to feel sick everytime I was in it!! Really trying not to get my hopes up but my body does feel a little different than normal this month. I'm also shattered but that could be from sitting in the sun all weekend haha. Only 5 days until I can test... Although would like to hold out to 8!!

20TinkerBell20 · 23/04/2019 20:14

Anyone know much about ovulation pains. I had af type cramping from Tuesday, Wednesday I had one slight twinge on right side, Thursday small amount of EWCM but very small, cramps continued until Saturday and then Sunday a little more EWCM but then cramps suddenly stopped. Is it likely OV day was towards beginning of week or later? We dtd sat and sun the two days before when the pains started Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday so hopefully covered all bases???
