July TTC!

[november90]

Hi everyone!
I’m currently ttc and 5 dpo. I already have a 2.5 year old boy who was a lovely surprise so I’ve never actually been in the position of ‘trying’.
To be honest, I don’t really feel any different since ovulation other then period style weak cramps which I don’t normally get u TIL the day before my period. I have noticed obvious bloating around one side, below my left hip. When I lie down I can feel something harder... wonder if this is a Fallopian tube. Is this normal? Anyone else been or on this boat?
I’m feeling really anxious about it all and just looking for some support/advice/anyone to talk to :)

I do have suspected pcos and when I had my first I was off the pill for 18 months before I feel pregnant!

I don't think you should feel your tube...they are about 1cm in diameter.

If it is still bothering you in a few days maybe see your GP.

Yes perhaps it isn’t that... it just feels a bit more bloated/harder on that side and has done for the past couple of days!

@november90 welcome to the TTC bus.

I get bloated allot but I have IBS so always put it down to that.

I'm 9/10 DPO did a test this morning but id bfn.

For the last 6 days I've had really bad sore boobs, and the last two days i've been getting sharp pains in lower abdomen.

I've had months before where my body has played tricks on me and AF came so i'm not overly hopeful.

Fingers crossed this is our month!! xx

Oh I do hope so! Do you have any already?
With my first I remember the symptoms were just the same as pms but obviously with no period they never went away! I felt just as you were describing so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you :)

Aww it’s nice to have someone around the same time as me :) It’s so hard to not fall into symptom spotting and over analysis for everything isn’t it! I never knew it would be so frustrating, haha!

@clolo sounds like me...i am getting lots of little symptoms but have no idea if it is due to not being on the pill anymore.

according to my aps my AF is due 26th but i dont actually know if it will play ball!!

@clolo I'm in the exact same boat! Me and my husband haven't used contraception for months but have been avoiding ovulation time (as predicted by my app!). This month we agreed to start trying properly and I went all out! I've eaten all the leafy greens and salads and fruit you can imagine, we tracked the for the ovulation window which felt like a life time as it was late this month and now this! I initially felt really positive but I've STUPIDLY done a test at 5 dpo and obviously negative. I don't even know why I did it, it was just there and now I'm deflated. It's SO easy to become obsessed with it all isn't it! Have you had a AF since coming off the pill?

@november90 I have a son who is 4, i've been trying #2 for nearly a year.

I'm 10/11 dpo today, leading upto today i've had sore boobs for 6 or so days, felt dizzy, sharp stabbing pains in abdomen.

This morning I ran to the toilet as I felt so nauseous but wasn't sick.

Today I've gone to the loo and absolutely devastated that AF had arrived (4 days early?) but it is very pink and light (just about enough to fill a small panty liner - sorry tmi) and I've got mild cramping.

I never had this with my first pregnancy, could it be implantation??

(still hopeful )

@HayleyD84 oh what a shame, I'm so sorry that happened! How did you get on for the rest of the day? Have you tested? I've heard of implantation bleeding at around 6-10 dpo? Could it be that? I really hope you're ok!

@clolo that sounds promising! I've never tested anything other then 100% negative with a frer yet 🙈 I'm 1 day late from my period, 14 dpo and still negative tests. My boobs have been very soar this time and feeling a bit sicky here and there! Af must just be late though because surely if I was pregnant there would at least be a faint line! How you doing? Have you tested since? X

@november90 I am the exact same as u. 1 day late symptoms but neg tests frustrating

@clolo oh it's awful isn't it, but I remember when I was pregnant with my son my early symptoms were just my af symptoms so you could still be in the game :)
I did an Asda cheapie and got a faint line but since then it's just negative. I'm 2 days late but very irritated today and had a headache so I feel af will be here tomorrow. I hope she is! I just want to move in if this month isn't for me!

@Victoriamcm oh bless you, have you had any joy yet? I'm 2 days late now and fed up! This isn't abnormal for me though, my cycles can be up and down! Trust them to start getting longer again when I'm trying for a baby! Just my luck 🙈

I took a cheapy test yesterday and I am convinced I saw a line. I am going to wait a few days and frer test. Worried it was an evap line. I feel like all of my pals are falling pregnant by accident right now haha 🤣🤣🤣
