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 www that's exciting here's hoping we can share the journey together. How you feeling?
@Itsemily honestly I only stopped contraception in August so I've done OPKs a couple of month so know roughly my ovulation day but this time we literally did nothing but relaxed and didn't track anything so I guess less pressure and it seems to do the job, I was honestly thinking I'd have a few more cycles to go before I had the two lines!!
@justmumming1 thank you so much.. here's hoping your month will be next month, enjoy yourself over Xmas and do all the nice things you want to
@NicLondon1 thank you so much 😊
You guys have really given me the support needed at this stressful time I will stay with you all through your journeys!

rhirhibumblebee · 15/11/2019 21:12

@NicLondon1 Good luck for next week! I don't know what that is but sounds promising. My fingers crossed for you xx

rhirhibumblebee · 16/11/2019 19:54

@justmumming1 oh man, frustrating as you just want to know either way. Xx

@NewUsername0123 Feeling good thank you, are you? When will you go to the GP? I can't remember when I went with my other two 🤔

ElsaTam · 17/11/2019 05:44

@rhirhibumblebee @NewUsername0123 so exciting!!! Good luck for the next phases of your journey!
@justmumming1 how do you feel today? Did it get any better? If AF didn't come still maybe there is a chance? If not, the best is actually if comes when you expect it and this way having your cycle regular.. I am happy to know my cycle finally regulated and i am ovulating always by 16th day (hoping it doesn't change just for me to know where I am in the month!).
@NicLondon1 good luck! What do you mean with that superovulation?
Guys, just to take the pressure out of our shoulders in every cycle (age etc), we decided that we can start checking out the process for the IVF. I don't really trust the clinics in the country we are (Hungary - but we are from diff countries) so decided for abroad in Spain and already gave the first step to contact them. Next summer we have time to leave our girl with one of the grandmas and go there for the needed period (I hope not needed more than 3w or 1 month). So we are already working on this process. It takes away pressure, as we see it as another different chance and where we will be sure that the baby is ok even before being in my belly. Anyway we will keep trying. I want to take a more relaxed approach this next cycle, then we need a break of one cycle (full house in December!) and then again trying in January.
Need your advice, sorry if tmi or if sounds silly: shall we do it everyday during the fertile window (we did it 7 days in a row and I am sure we haven't missed the timing), or shall we make some breaks (because I read somewhere the quality of sperm is not good if everyday)? Now I am quite sure my ovulation will be on day 16, but can't rely solely on this I think.. opinions?

@ElsaTam That sounds really promising, I have my fingers crossed for you! It's great you have a plan and I hope you can have some time to relax 💕.

I think you're right, I have read that too and in fact I didn't think it would work this month for us at we dtd the least! We only did it 3 days before ovulation and on ovulation day and that was it. Whereas usually we tried more in the fertile window. So perhaps quality not quantity worked for us. Hope that helps. xxxx

rhirhibumblebee · 17/11/2019 09:04

@justmumming1 any news today xx

justmumming1 · 17/11/2019 10:19

NewUsername0123 · 17/11/2019 18:02

@rhirhibumblebee I'm not sure when to go when are you going? I can't remember either. I think I just fill a form in and they pass it onto the midwife who gets in contact then?
I'm really
Anxious this time. How far gone are you?

justmumming1 · 17/11/2019 19:21

@NewUsername0123 my midwives always wanted to know once u pass the 8 wk mark if that helps xx

rhirhibumblebee · 17/11/2019 20:19

@justmumming1 Ohhh still nothing? Hope you find out soon what's going on. Fingers crossed xx

ElsaTam · 17/11/2019 21:30

ElsaTam · 17/11/2019 21:31

@rhirhibumblebee thank you!!! Wow that's amazing to know! Maybe we should just let it go and no exaggerating maybe it's the key (which also takes some stress out of shoulders!)! All going well dear! Xxx

justmumming1 · 18/11/2019 12:18

still no AF.... I cant bring myself to test again , i dont want tobe disapointed

rhirhibumblebee · 18/11/2019 12:39

@justmumming1 good luck ! Fingers crossed if you do test.

I've got so much brown spotting today...which I know can be really normal but still wish I wasn't having any. Got some back ache like before AF so I'm just praying it's 'just' back ache 😖. I tested again and still very positive so just praying this one sticks this time . I'm trying not to think about it as the more I think the more I think I'm having AF cramps xx

justmumming1 · 18/11/2019 13:47

oh lovley another BBBFFFNNNNN!!!!
im fine im fiiiiine haha

hey brown spotting is very normal infact i always looked for that as confirmation its going well x

ElsaTam · 18/11/2019 16:56

@rhirhibumblebee I think it's normal to spot a bit in pregnancy.. (that's why they say that some women spot and think it's their period when in fact they are pregnant and don't know!). I believe if the line is still strong, you should not get stressed. How many dpo are you?

OP posts:
rhirhibumblebee · 18/11/2019 17:28

Now there's blood 😓😓😓cannot believe it!

NewUsername0123 · 18/11/2019 17:44

@rhirhibumblebee oh no. Still have my fingers crossed for you.. is it still brown?
How many dpo are you now?

@justmumming1 it's the waiting which is a killer isn't it!! Hope somthing happens soon for you
