Hello! I am 4dpo and already starting to look for preggo signs.. i know i know!..
This cycle I had again tender breasts during/after ovulation, but today at 4dpo I noticed that they are not that “full” anymore (I confess it left me a bit worried!).
Okp positive on 31st Oct and ovulation on 1st Nov. Temperature raised on 2nd Nov and kept high (had a small drop but today even higher than before). All good (I think??) but the breasts don’t seem tender anymore (Although progesterone levels seems good). It is the first month I am checking temperature. We are trying to conceive since July/August. September had a chemical pregnancy.
Whomever is out there in the same boat - please share your symptoms! Also, if anyone had experience with losing breast symptoms after ovulation.. please share your experience! Thanks!

@rhirhibumblebee ahh me too! Three just feels like a good number doesnt it. Altho you can just never be sure how many our overies will allow us to have! Ive only been trying for two cycles this time around. I know some women try for years and years! I cant even imagen how hard that must be. We are very blessed to have two each arnt we. Im so bad at waiting im driving myself crazy. I dont know why I waste money on tests because they are only ever positive like three days before AF is due for me

ElsaTam · 10/11/2019 16:18

You both need to keep us posted with the testing! How about symptoms? My cervix is still the same, my breasts are very full and I feel fat as a pig, totally bloated... oh and mood swings Confused but maybe all this is nothing. I know I felt like this in September (I had a chemical) and in October same symptoms but milder, didn't feel this bloated. But oh well, can be just the period as well. Somehow I feel pregnant, but maybe it's my head playing tricks.

@justmumming awwww Yes hopefully 3 is the magic number! I want the week to hurry up. Fingers crossed for you!

justmumming · 10/11/2019 18:09

@ElsaTam Ive convinced myself im pregnant ! My mood swings are crazy and im really hormonal like I feel like theres ants in my veins I cant relax. My cervix feel hard now so who knows. I feel really relaxed though like
if it happens it happens. let the crazy testing begin tomorrow , its like gambling isnt it! like a scratch card🤪

rhirhibumblebee · 10/11/2019 18:10

@ElsaTam Totally get you, I feel like I feel bloated. I've had a headache all day which is rare for me and this evening feel a bit nauseous. Just my luck it's a bug! 😂🙈

It's hard not to notice every little thing! Hate waiting! Would be so good if it happened this month then I could tell my parents Xmas day 🙈😂 xx

ElsaTam · 10/11/2019 20:38

Ladies, this is really insane indeed re the symptoms etc. everything going on with me now I get this "alert" mode. But surprisingly, I am also kind of relaxed, like "whatever, if not pregnant will quit end of the year anyway and will do something to lose the weight i put on in the last few months of ttc Confused".
I am so crossing fingers for you all! If this month/week wouldn't be so different & painful, I would have started to test today. But I will not. Will just focus on my inner self, my blessings and my family ❤️ If another blessing is on its way, I will end up knowing it soon! Smile

Hi all,

TTC to conceive baby no 2. Lost my first born 8 year son to cancer.....so super nervous but so ready for this.

10DPO and I got 2 positve OPKs. I did a first response pregnancy test which was negative. Got some mild cramping too. Super confused!

Any thoughts?

ElsaTam · 11/11/2019 05:41

@gemini1234 I am so very sorry for your loss.. I can't possible imagine what you went through, since he was already 8yrs... I lost my son 2 years ago (this week) he was 3months old and was born with many issues my poor baby suffered all his short life, so we know it was the best for him ❤️
We are so ready as well. Welcome to this boat!
I am 10DPO as well. I don't have experience with opk's, testing for pregnancy? I heard they can be positive when pregnant but never tried myself. Maybe it's more reliable a preg test? When did you do the first response? It might have been too early? I don't want to stress myself out, so in principle will do by 14dpo. If positive great, if not... will try again next month. But I am also super nervous with all this! Good lick 🤞🏻

Hi, im so sorry for your loss too Its so tough I know. I did the test a day ago. Im super impatient! Will try and hold off another day! All the best hun! xx

NewUsername0123 · 11/11/2019 09:24

Hi ladies
Been super busy this weekend so has taken my mind off it abit! Sounds like you've all got promising symptoms here. I've got a few twinges but that could just be normal for me I tend to forget what I had the previous month to try and convince myself otherwise lol
Af due 17 so I'm trying to hold of until then 😬

Sydneey · 11/11/2019 09:40

I'm 7 DPO and no symptoms other than feeling super tired and lots and lots of cramping. AF due on the 20th!

NicLondon1 · 11/11/2019 10:25

Hello all
I'm also 7dpo today and driving myself mad!!! Have felt some cramps and some fatigue. But boobs are definitely not sore or fuller than usual, so am thinking it will be a negative... each day is taking an AGE to get through at the moment!

Aggie53 · 11/11/2019 11:04

I’m new to this , I’m 36 TTC last 2 months .. I’m 5 or 4 or 3 DPO hard to say ! Ovulating symptoms tell me I’m 5 DPO app tells me 3 DPO ( used ovulation sticks before app date and were negative ) have no clue ! No symptoms of pregnancy but need to wait and see , too early but I really hoping and trying stay positive I know my age is not helping me !

justmumming1 · 11/11/2019 11:40

guys im waiting for tests to be delivered today! feeling very sick ! how are you @ElsaTam

ElsaTam · 11/11/2019 12:36

@NewUsername0123 twinges sounds like a good thing?? Never had them though.. for 3 months now I am putting all relevant symptoms in the app Flo. It's good because this way for example I am comparing with September month (when I had chemical)
@Sydneey @NicLondon1 I did not have so far any cramps, but I am also going to bed so early nowadays (and I am an night owl), but for me might just be because i am really too tired lately.. anyway by 7dpo I usually have no symptoms.. and my breasts by 7dpo were quit normal, now by 10dpo they are really full...
@Aggie53 yes, too early! And hun, i got pregnant 2 times by 36 and by 38 and in both it was really quick (second was one time). Don’t worry with age I would say, since 36 is ok! I am 41 ans starting to worry now :/ because might not happen as easy!

ElsaTam · 11/11/2019 12:39

@justmumming1 good luck hun 🤞🏻
To be hmest, today I am not feeling pregnant... only my breasts are very full, but think can also be due to period.. i am bloated as well and i am tired (that's normal lol) but.. i think 10dpo, i should be feeling some other things :/ i am a bit down /pessimistic today... bhaaa

justmumming1 · 11/11/2019 13:59

@ElsaTam I know what you mean, I really dont think i am pregnant but i feel so aggitated! like mood swings. i cant wait another week to find out! but st the same time with the way im feeling at least AF will calm down my hormones! I did a test and it seemed like i could see something but after a while there wasnt anything. I need to just wait 4 more days or so
but im so impatient! I dont even know how i feel anymore im 50/50 about what i want part of me is desperate for a little life to love and the other part of me really wants to just live for myself for a
bit ! iv had babies the last four years i am nakard. I guess only time will tell if i get AF I will see if im
reieved or devestated.

justmumming1 · 11/11/2019 14:00

i forgot to say i dont even know for sure when i ovulated! im all
over the place with my cycles and never charted anytjing before so this all could be a wild goose chase for me

justmumming1 · 11/11/2019 14:16

oh gosh guys im that awful
person whos edited the photo to see the line! whats happened to me! i can see it when its inverted. has anyone had this but had a negative in the end? or a positive?

Aggie53 · 11/11/2019 15:17

@ElsaTam @justmummingah it’s so nice to hear some words of support ! Thank you 🙏 it’s really hard to know the exact day of ovulation I’m trying to track it for a while .. I think I better getting to know my body and symptoms but to be honest with ovulating sticks and apps it’s all seem to indicate different ! I guess every cycle is different for me any way sometimes 7 th day sometimes 10 th !!! @ElsaTam hun 10 DPO and not feeling any symptoms not feeling pregnant it’s toatlly ok 👌 I was pregnant before and didn’t know anything about it until 5 weeks .. unfortunately I had . I keep my finger cross!stay positive there is always another month Smile

Aggie53 · 11/11/2019 15:19

I meant to say I had miscarriage .

NewUsername0123 · 11/11/2019 15:52

@ElsaTam hope your doing ok! I'm still pretty chilled and haven't had the urge to eat yet so I'm quite impressed with myself
@justmumming1 I don't even know how to invert a picture so I've never done one! I'm hoping it is a line for you 🤞post a pic if you like
And to everyone is so nice to have people to talk to about this, it can be so stressful but some people in real life don't get it so it's easier to not say anything!
I hope this is a good month for us all

Aggie53 · 11/11/2019 16:09

@NewUsername0123 you are so right i do not talk to anyone about this and I dont want to freak out or stress my partner over this too, thats why i turned to this chat !! im glad i found yous

ElsaTam · 11/11/2019 17:37

@justmumming1 I think you will find out if you want it very soon! If you feel crazy happy with a positive or devastated with a negative... I wish you the best and that's the first Halo
In the beginning the lines can be really tricky right? But if you see something in the inverted photo, I believe there is something? Now you just have to see if the line will darken 🤞🏻

ElsaTam · 11/11/2019 17:43

@Aggie53 I know what you mean, second time I was pregnant I was also shocked, but I think because I was not even trying to get pregnant.. but now that I am trying and have already 3 cycles wich are regular somehow I think by now I should be feeling something more. And that's so true, I don't want to stress "outside" so I turn to this chat 😍 thank you ladies for being there 🙏🏻
