Anyone around 5dpo and want to wait with me?

[pollysproggle]

The dreaded TWW which actually feels like it takes 2 years 😫
It's too early to symptom spot I know but I did feel a bit crampy after ovulation, a few shooting pains in boobs and a horrible two day headache over the weekend.
Also a weird feeling almost like I have the start of cystitis but I don't. Had that yesterday and it's gone now.

Anyone else around the same dpo? Let me know how you're feeling!

[KaybeBlossom]

😂 I would dread anyone looking through my Google search! I'm the same, I'm sure I feel a bit crampy and stitch like on my left side but I don't know if I'm just desperate for this to happen so noticing every little thing as I did the same last month and then AF arrived. The waiting game is the worst!!

[pollysproggle]

@SMiles14
Haha symptom spotting is crazy. I was teased in my all girls secondary school for having such dark nipples so I can't count on that being a symptom for me.
I have been the reverse with my skin actually!
As well as being blessed with dark nipples I also have very spot prone skin, face, back and chest can have outbreaks but I'm very clear at the moment. Hmmm...could be a sign 😁

[KaybeBlossom]

@pollysproggle fx it's a good sign!! I'm the opposite never been spotty or prone to breakouts... hormones maybe!?

[SazCat]

Does anyone know, when you use clear blue advanced ovulation testers, when you get lean could ovulation be either of those days? Guessing it's best to use the second day so as not to test too early..,

[SazCat]

Peak sorry, not lean

[pollysproggle]

This is my last opk taken with fmu this morning. Looks the same as yesterday I think, not any darker. What do you think?
10dpo
Neck finally feeling a bit better, woke up feeling wet again and knickers actually looked wet 😷
Gums are slightly sore at the back, boobs- nothing, no nausea. Realised I haven't drunk any coffee for 3 days which is unusual for me. Not an aversion just don't fancy it or need the pick me up. Not particularly tired either.
Talking to DH and we've decided to get an early response to do in the morning so will be testing a few days early.
Really excited but dreading it too!

[A29T]

@pollysproggle sounds positive! I'll be crossing my fingers for you. I can feel AF approaching and PMS is brutal. Maybe next month for me...

[pollysproggle]

Thanks @A29T I really hope so too.
I keep reading that early symptoms are very similar to AF symptoms so may not be out just yet!
Fingers crossed we all get out BFP very soon xx

[dublino]

@pollysproggle that looks promising ! Fingers crossed for tomorrow . Still haven't made my mind up yet about doing an opk over the weekend ( I'm being mad lazy this morn and still in bed ) .

Yestrtday afternoon and evening I felt like crap. Had some creamy cm in the morn and all afternoon alot of water cm to the point that I felt very wet in work. Felt so so bloated and generally crap. Then had terrible diarrhoea (tmi I know ) last night where I barely made it up the stairs. Swest to god if this is my body playing tricks I'm gonna be raging

[pollysproggle]

@dublino
All sounds so promising! I have everything crossed for you.
I completely get not wanting to do an opk, in a way I wish I didn't bother but because they were there it was hard not to test.
I was doing to well waiting but the nearer AF date gets the more I want to test!

[dublino]

@pollysproggle I caved and did one. Not as dark as yours but definitely darker then yesterdays and past few days. I'm hoding out til mon if not Tuesday to test

[pollysproggle]

@dublino my first looked like that and the last two I did were with fmu. I hope it's a sign 🤞🏻

[dublino]

Hopefully . I decided no more til I test . I'm obsessing now . When are you looking to test??

[dublino]

@pollysproggle I'm obsessing that bad that last nightbt pet cat sat and snuggled up on my lap for the first time ever in over a year. Soni googled cats and pregnancy. I've reached another leval. Dp is away til sunday week so I have zero distractions Sonia taking it to rediculas levals . Need to stop

[dublino]

Apologies for the typing. It's my fat thumbs !

[Sunflower2019]

@pollysproggle @dublino my opk this morning looks like that, I’m around 12dpo I think, but then I’m not hopeful in a BFP this month for some reason! May get a test later, will see! Good luck :)

[pollysproggle]

@dublino lol
Well I was going to test in the morning with a first response but sent my DH to Tesco and they didn't have any. DH said the early tests were clear blue and £14 and he wasn't paying that! Fair enough.
I'm heading to Shoreditch for a birthday meal so will be discreetly on the lookout for a chemist 👀

@Sunflower2019
I don't feel hopeful really, just these opk results making me think...maybe...
I've had two children and I don't really remember early symptoms from DC1 (14ish years ago) apart from the horrible sickness.
With DC2 I had horrible sickness again and before my BFP and very sore boobs.
I don't have anything like that right now

[dublino]

Fingers crossed for you ladies! Keep us posted!

[Sunflower2019]

@pollysproggle same for me, feel a-bit offish but could be pre af symptoms.. my dd is 11 and I remember not even knowing I was pregnant, I must of been late but now I’m symptom spotting and waiting around for af, wish I was chilled like last time but then I’m 32 now and feel like times an issue x

[pollysproggle]

Same here @Sunflower2019
I'm 36!

[Kona84]

I’m on CD24 according to my fertility app.
I did the deed on cd10 and cd18.
I don’t know what date I ovulated but my cycle is 29-30days.
AF is due 18th oct. since cd20 I have been feeling nausea. Yesterday and today I’ve felt a flush in my cheeks it’s not visible but honestly thought if I looked in mirror my face would be on fire.
I haven’t started with ovulation kits yet, but bought a thermometer to start tracking temp.

So I don’t know how many days past ovulation I am but I’m 6 days away from AF. Think it’s too early to test?

[Sax83]

I’ve experienced those pinching pains too! Used CB ovulation predictor and dtd all way up to day past ovulation... it’s only my first month ttc but hoping these are signs!

[A29T]

Hope you had a great night out @pollysproggle and were able to enjoy it without too much symptom spotting distraction. Did you find a covert chemist in the end. 🤞

[dublino]

Well I caved this morn and did a frer. Bfn . Not even a sniff of a line. Ugggggghhhhhh. Just gonna continue to test every few days until af shows herself .

[pollysproggle]

I couldn't find a chemist last night so collected my FMU at 6.30am and just did a first response early test. BFP!!
I'm in disbelief as I have no symptoms today whatsoever.
Over the moon 😁
