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!

@justmumming1 actually sometimes is just best to "make a break" and things just happen when we least expect! Easier said than done of course ❤️

@NewUsername0123 @mummyof2girls18
Dears, you are so very sweet! Sometimes we do need some reassurance that we are not crazy seeing 2lines! But I know in this cases it's bfn's... the blue one seemed, but i believe it's indent. The other was white. Maybe it's the shadows in the picture Confused
I'm 14dpo, AF due date.. so by this time if pregnant it should show in the test. I could always find many cases that people don't have bifp till later, but we all know this is the normal. AF will arrive today I think and that in the end is a good sign, means my body is working very well I guess? 3 months in a row that I have exactly 30 days cycle and ovulation by 16dpo. In August it was 32, in july 15days (i drop pills in june). So I am actually happy about it. Hopefully it will be true for the next month and will ovulate by 16dpo as well :) gotta see the bright side! Good luck for you all!!! ❤️🙏🏻

So AF just arrived... am a swiss clock or what? Wink
Meaning I am almost sure my next ovulation date is on 30th November and after this cycle my parents will be here for a month. We will do the BD anyway during all the fertile period, but to be honest, I am thinking not to focus on the 2ww this time! There is really no point. My symptoms in the second phase are really of a pregnancy due to the hormones, so no point to be looking for hopes! I will only take my temps to check if ovulation happened and that's it.
This next cycle, we will start researching for IVF and to do it once possible. I'm not this type of mamma that is thinking I am not able to get pregnant (I got pregnant with my boy I was 38years and it was in ONE time only which we didn't use condom, I miscalculated the date in my head! - wasn't he really supposed to come to this world? Yes, he was! My angel ❤️). But there is a reason for this: I know getting pregnant is only the first step for a long emotional rollercoaster, as I will have to go throughout the normal 1st trimester and then next, if still with me, waiting 1 more month for the amniocentesis and then.. will see.. although the science does not proven, there is a risk of happening again. My baby suffered way too much in his short life, I don't want this to happen again with another baby. So maybe it is wiser if we try IVF and be sure that the baby will be alright generally. I know this is a controversial topic and many of you can judge me, but only we know the hell we had to overcome and how much our little baby suffered. He made such an effort to come here to meet us and to be loved by us, but I just cannot take the risk that everything happens again... So if you know some information about ivf, please send it to me my dears ❤️🙏🏻

@NewUsername0123 hey hun! just got a negative test again and all symptoms seem to have left me now which isnt a great sign as im usually sooo nauseous from the day i ovulate till about 12 wks pregnant with both my last pregnancies ( and one mc) so ive dont this a few times now. I know i was 100% pregnant i just know my body so well. I guess it's just not happened this time. Yesterday i got the faintedt line ( not grey or white but faint pink dots where the line should be ) so i assumed today woulfbe stronger but it wasnt there at all. I have no sickness today or fatigue. but im just going to enjoy this energy i have, exercise, have some nights out some wine somw girly time and just focus
on the babies i do have for a while! willkeep u guys posted if my AF arrives on mon x

@NewUsername0123 me too! I do believe everything happens for a reason.. and if doesn't happen (or life doesn't happen in a direction we want) it is because it wasn't supposed to. A friend of mine told me: "if something does not hour way, means you were saved" - Sometimes what we want is not the right for us, or the correct way.
I promise I will continue here ;) and will share with you all shall something happens! Al the best! Wish BFP's for all if you soon! ❤️

@NewUsername0123 That's brilliant!! Congrats! When is your AF due? 💕💕

I'm feeling ok thank you, had a pink spot yesterday and a brown spot today so I'm praying it's implantation and not AF. It's due Monday so I'll relax once I've officially missed it! Tested again today and the line has got darker so fingers crossed 🤞🏻.

Fingers crossed for everyone xxx

@NewUsername0123 Same as me! So we would have the same due date. Fingers crossed for us both 😬xxx I did a first response on Tuesday, I've done cheapies since then and then I'm doing my second first response tomorrow (2 pack) . How many tests does it take to sink in 🙈

@ElsaTam Hope you're having an ok week!

@NewUsername0123 huge congrats that is such a good line. Have you got any tips on how you managed it? I'm not OPKing this month as it stressed me out last month (and DH) but I have no idea where I am in my cycle or anything since having my coil out. Do you recommend just DTD when you can and relax?

Huge congratulations @NewUsername0123!

As for me, I'm also out this month. 11dpo and BFN, no symptoms at all. Just waiting for AF to come, sigh.... I'll be starting a Superovulation IUI next week though, wish me luck!
