Can ye add more please x

Ye all have it very good with the boobs I get them every month from as early as 5 days after O right up to day of AF sometimes even day after and they can be really sore, burning tingly, and still no BFP 🙈🙈 I'd say the month they don't hurt me I'll get my BFP. They are starting to hurt already so I'd say I'm out again maybe I'll get lucky month 10🙈🙈 I'm over all the feeling positive at this stage 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

No temp spike so far for me at 2DPO. Waiting game here we come 🙄

Currently 6dpo and going a bit mad waiting 😂

We didn't do enough this month so I don't know why I have my hopes up!

@Treaclepie19 you only gotta dtd once close to ovulation to be in with a Chance x

@Blossomingflower94 what does the temp spike mean ?

My boobs are still sore this is different for me but tryi n to be calm

We just found out someone we know is gunna be a dad earlier and hubby said I wish that was me :(

Hey everyone, just checking in after being away with work. Sorry to hear AF got you @tamalama.

Was away last week for work and going away to China for 12 days tomorrow for work so had given up on this month as I usually ov around CD 19-21 and last month was cd 24, which would have put ov right in the middle of my work trip. So haven't been tracking or anything. But whilst I was away I noticed ewcm on thursday on cd15. Got back on Friday and on a whim did an ov tesr which looked quite strong but not quite there. Did another ov test yesterday afternoon at cd17 and it was positive!! Me and DH had DTD on Friday, and last night and will again tonight,so may be with a chance this month, fingers crossed. The last few cycles we have really gone all out DTD and it hasn't worked for us so maybe this month with less stress (as I assumed I was out already) and just DTD around ov, we might be in for some luck. Who knows. I'm just happy we got a shot this month.

I may or may not be around here for the next two weeks, depends on my internet access when I am in China, so just wanted to say fingers crossed for you all and hopefully we will get some BFP on this thread!

@NamiSwan that's ace well pleased your in with a chance x

Fingers crossed for you @NamiSwan, enjoy your work trip away, it'll hopefully make the TWW a little easier for you!

I'm now 9DPO and have had a little spotting today. Not due until Friday so am planning to test on Thursday maybe. OH has an important meeting on Wed so I wouldn't want to derail that with any possible news.

@croissantmonster
A patience pill would be great! 😅
I caved yesterday morning at 10dpo.
There was the squintiest of squintiest lines on it. But before I could get excited, I thought could it be leftover hormone from my CP from last month?
I never bothered testing for a negative after AF arrived.

@pottypotamus ahhh that’s such a tricky situation!!! Hmm I suppose you could continue testing and see if it darkens but I’d say if patience were an infinite resource, it’s a wait and see job. If only it were that simple!
I also tested, 10dpo today and DH about to go on a business trip until Saturday so wanted to see if I could send him off with some lovely news. It was as fat as a BFN can get, and an FRER. I’ve got spotting today, exact same as last month and expect AF to arrive early/right on time. Fell into the google hole and am worried I have a short luteal phase...might get back on the Pregnacare Conception vitamins and see if it helps?!
Bit of a naff day to be honest, but just waiting for af to get in with it now and hope for next month 😊

Really really hope your squinty line is a fresh one, crossing everything tightly for you @pottypotamus !!!

Thanks @croissantmonster 😊
Fingers crossed for you that your spotting is implantation and that the witch stays away!! 🤞🏼
You're right it's a waiting game. I'll wait and see how it goes. FF says I'm due AF Thursday. I'd like to believe I'll wait until then to test but I know myself better than that 🙈

Thanks @pottypotamus I’m not very optimistic, poor old boobies have totally deflated too 😂
But as they say, the show’s not over till the witchy AF witch sings! 🧙‍♀️
I’ll keep checking on here and hoping that your line is a new one. My af is due Thurs so if by some miracle it’s not in full flow by then I’ll test too on 17th. Patience pills all round! 💊

@mrssunshinexxx The day you ovulate you have a dip in temperature so you can see it on the chart. Then after ovulation you're meant to have (at least) 3 days of 'increased' temperatures to confirm that you did ovulate. So far no increased temperature for me, although I am using a new themometer 🤔

@Blossomingflower94 ah I don't do temping what cd do you usually see the spike x

@Treaclepie19 Your same as me 7 DPO today. I had bad cramps yesterday and back ache and boobs starting to get sore so i'm prob out already.

@NamiSwan Fingers crossed you caught in time x you will be so busy now you won't even think about the TWW

@pottypotamus Have you a pic? Have you tested again?

@mrssunshinexxx what DPO are you today? Your nearly there surely??

Thank god this thread has gotten a little busier we were all very quiet for awhile.

@mrssunshinexxx its normally the day after ovulation but i've not been using a proper BBT before this month. I'm just remembering that its not going to change anything that's already happened this month. I'm currently 3DPO and this TWW is DRAGGING already. I just know i'm going to be testing early - I go back to work a week today so that'll be a good distraction.

How are you feeling?

@Sophieb15 yeah I'm not feeling too positive tbh! Crampy and achey and very grumpy.

@croissantmonster I realised once I started tracking that I had a short luteal phase (9 days), so last cycle I took a vit b complex which has 50mg of vit b6 in it and my luteal phase was 11 days that month, so would recommend that. Apparently too much b vits can delay ovulation so you're supposed to start taking it as soon as you ovulate, which is what I did.

Positive opk on Saturday but no temp rise yet ... Had this a couple of cycles ago so wondering if either I didn't ovulate or low progesterone,so need to make sure I take my b6 again this month. I definitely caught the surge on Saturday as every opk I've done since then has been much lighter.

Glad I am away during the TWW as yes I will be far too busy to think too much about it. I really hope AF doesn't get me this month, not just because I want a baby but because if it does then I'll be travelling long haul 13 hour flight on my period - ugh!

@Blossomingflower94 Nooo early testing !

@Sophieb15 I'm 12dpo today and scared/nervous definitely no intention of testing tho ! X

@mrssunshinexxx are your only symptoms sore boobs? Is it sides nipples all over?

Remember seeing a BFN Is worse than AF!!!

@Treaclepie19 Do you normally get cramps this early? When you google cramps and 6/7 DPO it always says implantation as AF cramps are only supposed to start 12-36 hours before it arrives. I have only had aches this early last 3 months now I'm thinking maybe last 3 months it's trying to implant and failing. All the other month cramping didn't start until at the most 4 days before AF arrived.

Spotting has got heavier so I think that's it for this month. I'm only 10 DPO, but it's CD27 so a short luteal phase for me. Still breastfeeding number 1 so I suspect that's the cause of the short luteal phase, I need to weigh up whether I want to stop to help increase my chances or not. I might also look into some B6, thanks for pointing it out @NamiSwan.

@Sophieb15 Hmm not sure I think all over I sleep on my tummy and since last Sunday I've been waking in the night because too painful to sleep on my front I never get any spotting or cramps half way through at like 6/7 dpo so I don't think I'm pregnant x

@mrssunshinexxx that's the thing tho most people don't feel implantation at all. I'm prob clutching at straws normally when I start getting my pains I know I'm out I'm just trying to thing of reasons to be getting pains this early 🙈

No @Sophieb15 just boobs sore and I had a head ache at 3 and 4dpo x
