Early December testing?

[Laur89]

@Gigi318 @Ellsbells112 @Gems7 new post girls! How are you all? I can't remember who else to tag!

Fingers crossed 🤞 for you @Ellsbells112 xx

@Ellsbells112 hey babe! Ooo not long now then for you.. I really really hope this is your month. No symptoms isn't a bad thing at all. If we weren't TTC we probably wouldn't notice half the stuff we spot anyway would we. What day are you going to test?
I don't really have any symptoms to speak of either apart from yesterday in the car on my way home from work I felt some sharp intermittent stabby type pains in my right boob, then again twice today. Only lasting less than a minute each time but I don't recall that happening before.. unless it has and I've ignored it. I think I'm 6DPO today so not very far along and probably wouldn't have implanted yet either, so who the hell knows. I'm trying so so hard not to obsess and fantasize but it's so difficult when you want something as bad as this isn't it. It's all I think about 😣

How's everyone else getting on?

@Anny27 how you doing lovely? I hope you've been getting lots of rest and cuddles Xxx

@Robbo93 thank you!! How are you? Xx

@gems7 it's true, I've found out I was pregnant only once I was 6 weeks before lol I had not an inkling before! Once you're really trying it literally is all you can think about! Urgh! You've got a way to go yet, gotta keep busy!! Its so hard 😓
I dont know when to test, I'm scared so I'm thinking I should test if af doesnt show! Maybe Saturday morning? I just want these last few days to vanish now lol

The only feeling I have is lots of wind and I had headaches on 8dpo and 9dpo but that's not solid could be for any reason xx

@Ellsbells112 yes I'm fine my lovely. Hope you are too?!

I think I'm 8DPO today (CD27) expecting spotting/AF to arrive anytime soon... no symptoms to report from me either x

Have any of you ladies ever had a cycle where you ovulated way sooner than you expected?

I’m on CD10 and today was my first day of a flashy face on the CB digital OPK, which is about right. Suddenly this evening I had a large amount of EWCM so did an IC (as I do both) and another CB - still a flashy face but a definite rise on the IC from this morning (low to high). Last two cycles my static face was CD15 and CD13 with FMU the IC picking up on the start of surge the evening before when I had large amounts of EWCM.

Perhaps I’ll have my LH surge tomorrow evening on the IC and static smiley on Thursday (CD12) instead ... Aaargghh I dunno what to think, this has really thrown me 🙃 .. We DTD this AM luckily but I’m a bit freaked out!? Not sure how to play this one 😬

@Robbo93 I'm okay I've just gotten to that point of obsessing now!! Urghhh I just want to know or start again. The 2ww is torture honestly! When would you normally start spotting? Xx

Hey girls :) thanks for the well wishes!

Had my medical management tablets this morning and the miscarriage has started! Was quite painful crampswise this afternoon but seems to have settled a bit. I think the worst is yet to come but hopefully it doesnt take too long!

Some of you will be testing on the weekend so not too long 🤞🤞

Hey @ellsbells112 I think af is about to arrive. Had on off cramping all today. One tiny bit of brown spotting and that's it. Af due thursday but I think it's going to arrive tonight 😔 how are you?

Hope it all goes as best as it can for you @Anny27

@Anny27 stay strong 😘🤗 hot bath will help of the cramps come again xx

@charlie0692 I'm ok feel fine literally. Trying to still hope for a bfp x

@Anny27 big hugs mrs, you're holding it together well xxx

@Ellsbells112 I'm not testing until AF doesn't show either, only like the day after but I'm still going to wait until it is late (if that even happens)

I have CD21 blood tests at my GP in the morning

Good luck everyone, getting close now! Xx

@Ellsbells112 yes same. Was just getting changed and noticed my nips are a little tender too, greaaaat 😔
I usually start spotting 6-8DPO with full AF around 8-10DPO. I can't pinpoint when exactly I Ov (if I even do...) as didn't track .. just going by symptoms x

@Gems7 .. I had day 21 bloods the other day too. Gotta go when AF arrives for another then day 21 again next month x

@Robbo93 so your luteal phase is too short to hold a pregnancy basically? That's what I've been researching, who knows. Have you tried agnus castus? It helps make shorter luteal phases longer. You might as well give it a go?

@Ellsbells112 it appears so, but neither the doctors nor the hospital think it's an issue 🤷‍♀️
I'm having the bloods done to see if I ovulate.

I've never heard of it tbh hun. Where do I get that?

@Robbo93 it's a herbal thing I actually have it because it helps with pms but I havent started it yet. You can get it anywhere and its not expensive, it might help like I said it makes short luteal phases longer, it levels out your hormones and helps with progesterone I believe. Look it up babe see what you think? Its like 6 pounds for the pill form on amazon x

Someone who had pcos said she took it on her first cycle trying and conceived (might be coincidence, might not!)

I just got my static face on CB digital with my FMU, today is C11 😳 We DTD yesterday AM, tried again this morning but it just wasn’t happening. Will I be covered if we try again tonight? I am completely thrown and don’t wanna to mess up my chances ....

@falkor32 sperm can live for 5 days so don't worry hun. I think the best thing to do is relax. When I saw my GP a few weeks ago she told me not to have sex as much as I was during my FW and to naturally DTD 2-3 times per week whenever those days may be, as the sperm are much stronger. Who knows if that's accurate but I've seen women on here bet their BFP when they thought they were out because they DTD a few days ago so don't worry xx

@Gems7 thank you for replying. I’m trying to not to freak out but it’s so hard 😩 and I’m peaking/ovulating so much earlier than normal which hasn’t helped .. x

Sorry for the double post, I was having a lot of twinges yesterday on my right hand side of my hip/lower abdomen area which I guess makes sense now ... do you twinge like that before you ovulate or when you ovulate?

@falkor32 don't worry I completely understand, it's difficult not to obsess when you really want something to happen. I missed it last cycle because I OV on a weds but hadn't DTD since Sun. OH was away on the Monday and exhausted on the Tuesday. I was really upset so I know how it feels when you feel like you've missed your chance.
For me personally I am totally fine after AF finishes and then I feel twinges on one side and I'm like 👀 I think they last a day or so and then I ovulate. That's been the pattern so far anyway. This cycle I started to feel the twinges last Monday and then on Wednesday it was worse and bordering on painful so I am assuming that is when I OV but I can't be 100% certain. Maybe it was on Monday? DTD Sunday and Tuesday anyway so hopefully caught it either way. Mind you we aren't guaranteed to become pregnant are we.. even if we time it to perfection.
TTC is a pain in the arse at times!
Good luck hun xx

@Gems7 royal pain the arse! I woke up this morning like "do I feel.l different!?" Nope nada! I get up in the night to wee twice though every night now...but I'm putting it down to drinking a lot of water.
11dpo today and getting closer to Saturday!
I'll definitely be doing SMEP next cycle if I havent caught
How are you hunnie xxx

@falkor32 ovulation timing is sooo stressful but doing it tonight will be absolutely fine xx

Thanks both, it’s so comforting to talk to people in a similar situation!

@Ellsbells112 we were wanting to do SMEP this cycle 😂 so we started yesterday at CD10. Husband look scared when I said we will have to try again tonight at tomorrow! 🙈

@Ellsbells112 I'm the same as you, feel fine, no symptoms at all. No boob twinges since yesterday, to be honest I think that's probably something that happens all the time and I just never notice. I'm only 7DPO today. Roll on Saturday for you!! Eeek now long now! 😬🤞🏻
@falkor32 no worries hun, it really is comforting to know there are other crazy women in the same boat as you 😁
Xx

@falkor32 haha yea when I told mine he was like "right okay" lol has to be done!! I'll start from CD8 though I think.

@Gems7 I'm not holding onto much hope I really dont want to get let down especially because I have no obvious signs. Can I just say, I'm on another thread and a lot of people have gotten their bfps which is so amazing and I'm super happy for them!! Honestly...but I cant help but feel deflated not in a horrible way but you know what I mean? I just have an obsessive personality I cant not obsess once I want something its who I am 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ and me and OH cant just "let it happen" because we dont have a lot of sex so I have to bloody schedule it to get somewhere it's such a wind up! so this is definitely consuming me and I'm not laid back at all lol I just really hope we get our bfps 😭😭🤞🤞🙏🙌 xxx

@Ellsbells112 I know exactly how you feel! I’ve been feeling the same way as you. My husband struggles with the pressure of DTD and sometimes he just doesn’t finish around my fertile window so it’s an added worry whether or not we time it right.

I actually feel like a crazy hormonal person this morning, it’s going to be a very long day at work today before we’re both at home and able to give it another shot. Currently feel like after getting my static this morning I’ve got an ovulation clock ticking along to the countdown tune in my head! 😳 X
