Hi girls, started new thread because the old one is running out.

@orcadolph Yeah that definatly could be implantation bleeding hun, how exciting!! But testing tomorrow would be far too early. After implantation you need at least a few days (usually 5-7) for HCG to rise and from woman to woman it varies. I'd definitely try and wait a little longer

Amysara24 Of course, welcome! Best of luck to you this month ❤️

@Hewie30 thank you, it’s just so hard to resist testing! Each month I say I won’t test early and always do and get really disappointed

@amysara24 sorry to hear about your journey chick, but I've heard such good things about clomid, this should be so exciting for you!

@orcadolph how does your AF usually start? It could be IB, although a little late on - unless you implanted late so fingers crossed for you. If it is IB, they say to wait three days after the spotting has stopped and then test 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Hewie30 yay so pleased for you. I love when birthday celebrations drag on. It's how I like to do it 🙊🙊🙊
Well I'm doing my VERY best not to symptom spot, but here goes... woke up with a few mild crampy like twinges that have since gone. My boobs feel so heavy and tender and nipples are once again gross, but I think last month they only felt tender around 9-10DPO (so closer to AF) and I'm only 5DPO today. And lots of milky/creamy CM. But as I said, trying not to symptom spot 😂😂😂🙈👀

Thanks everyone 💗 in ways, it’s almost a relief to have other people doing the day counting and stressing for me! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽
Where is everyone else in their journey?

@Gigi318 My OPK was positive early this month at CD11 which made me wonder if it’s too late for IB but before this I haven’t had spotting since coming off the pill in Jan. Normally AF starts heavily with bad cramps and heavier CM 2 days before and this has been nothing like it so fingers crossed. Maybe I need to see if AF shows on Wednesday morning and test if not

Sorry to hear about your grandma @Raizelrea 😢 xx

I've had an ok weekend, went down to Basingstoke to see 2 friends and we went to a beer festival. I don't do beer so had a couple of ciders and a couple of gins. Which felt very deserved after the last week.

One of the Friends seemed quite keen on constantly (and I mean constantly) asking us when we were getting married and having kids, he joked that our car (that we've had a month) was very much a family car etc etc.
I couldn't work out how to shut him up without saying we were trying. It was getting a little wearing and I sort of started not enjoying being there.

@orcadolph yes that definitely seems like a good idea to me, chick. It's so hard because every body is so different and I have always felt like I've known my body well but then last month I was convinced I was PG! So now I'm trying not to look to into the symptoms!!

@Gigi318 each month I tell myself I’ll stop symptom spotting and then I get sucked in! Keeping my fingers crossed for you

@claireb707 yes I always hate that. When you just start to feel really uncomfortable and wish people just didn't ask you stuff. It's awful and I get it all the time too!! Hope you've had a more relaxing Sunday!!

@orcadolph absolutely. I'm doing much better this month but it's hard to ignore things when your boobs are sore or there's lots of CM 🙈🙈🙈

@Gigi318 well I know I ovulate roughly CD12 so I could aim for around then but I have so many CB OPKs now I figure I may as well use them 😂 also gives me something to do

Welcome @orcadolph @amysara24 !

I feel your pain @claireb707 ever since I got married 2 months ago it's all anyone asks me!

@orcadelph It's so easy to give in and test then get disappointed! Try your best to run to the loo first thing in the morning that way you've got rid of your FMU 😂

@gigi318 Yeaaaah when it drags on its the best 😂. I'm meeting friends next Saturday too so that'll be nice. Ooo those symptoms sound good!! 😍😍. It's SO hard not to symptom spot though isn't it

Hope everyone is doing OK! Slightly MIA after my holiday I do apologise, the sickness has kicked in and been busy at work since I got back!

Anyone due to test soon? 😍😍

Anyone got some strong symptoms? X

Morning ladies x @flossy12 welcome back, how are you feeling? x
13DPO today, af due tomorrow. My boobs are still painful but it seems to have subsided a bit, also af like cramps started this morning, I don’t get them unless af is on its way, so I believe I’m out x

Morning ladies, how are we all?

@Makeafamily19 yes definitely, I agree with you there!

@Hewie30 so exciting. That's what I do too, make sure I get to celebrate lots! I know, I'm really hoping it's all positive but I just want to stay as calm and distracted as possible! I'm 6DPO today and woke up feeling a bit like I'm coming down with something. Lovely!

@flossy12 welcome back babe, did you all have a lovely time?? Sorry to hear the sickness has kicked in! Hopefully work has been a bit of a distraction??

@Katie1109 your symptoms all sound so good. Really keeping my 🤞🏻 for you. Did you feel any of this last month? Also, cramping can be early PG, so you never know. Any other AF symptoms? A girl I know had really sore boobs most of TWW then they sort of stopped and a day later... BFP! Are you noticing any CM?

I'm 6DPO (getting there) and boobs feel full and tender but don't hurt to touch, a bit crampy on and off but it's only mild (although I was aware of it in the night). Haven't checked CM yet today/noticed any. But do seem to have a bit of a cold setting in. And again, I'm doing my best not to symptom spot 🙃🙃🙃

Hi @Gigi318 my boobs normally stop hurting when af arrives, so the fact that the pain started to subside is probably af is coming sign. CM was creamy white over the weekend, did not notice any this morning. I've got that general feeling that af is on its way, which is a bit gutting because I honestly thought I was having an implantation last week x nevermind, what will be will be x are your boobs normally like that this early before af? x

Update. I have just realised I weed 7 times since getting up at 6:30 this morning. I only had 1 small coffee and small glass of orange juice with breakfast. Also my hands feel extremely cold and sort of numb feeling in the tips of my fingers x probably completely unrelated, but who knows! x

@Katie1109 oh chick I really hope not. CM stopping could be a good sign, or do you usually notice that? Last month I noticed it dried up around 2 days before spotting so about 11dpo and then spotting started 13dpo. I think last month I had very sensitive nipples early on (but don't think month) and my boobs did feel full but I think I noticed that more nearer AF. I can't really remember and didn't note it this early in Flo last month, it was a bit later. But noted it this time!
You're right, what will be will be. But I'm still keeping up the positive thoughts for you.
Eeeek weeing more is definitely an early PG sign and I googled it last month, the tingly fingers can be PG related carpal tunnel. So 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Gigi318 hi girl x thanks for your positivity x unfortunately af like cramps are getting worse right now, had to take some painkillers x my af will probably arrive with vengeance after very light and painless free one last month x boob pain is almost completely gone, just sore nipples now x I’m pretty sure af will arrive by tomorrow morning x

Hi everyone happy Monday (if that's possible?! Hope all OK.

@katie1109 hope AF holds off and it's good news for you. Its mad how many cross over symptoms there are for PG and PMS!

I've had sore boobs and nipples for a week now, some bloating, some really intense cramps for two days last week and still no sign of my first AF since coming of BC. We are DTD when we can but difficult as OH works shifts and as much as we are both keen to get pregnant ASAP, we are knackered at different times. I'm using the clue app to record symptoms now but feels like not much point till I have a first full cycle.

@Katie1109 oh girl, nooo 😞 that sucks. Really hoping it doesn't arrive. This is so frustrating! Urgh, 6DPO for me now and still nothing major to report. Kinda hoping that could be a good thing 🤷‍♀️

@Peaceandloves hey chick!!!! Oohhh all sounds good. Do you know what DPO you are or when AF might be due?? It's so hard to stay motivated and sane, isn't it. When will you test??

@Katie1109 hey sweetie ☺️ the sickness has come a little harder this past couple weeks, and stomach is starting to get slight aches due to muscles and ligaments moving around

Are you testing soon??

@Gigi318 hey hun!! ☺️☺️ yeah it's bab, but it could be a lot worse I suppose, not too long till it should subside now

Well ladies, af arrived 1 day earlier, so I had 26 day cycle x

@flossy12 absolutely, hopefully you will feel better soon. How many weeks are you now??

@Katie1109 oh babe nooooooo!!! That came on so soon 😩 is it really heavy???
