Just realised @Crumbsinthecarpet you asked about symptoms. I had none apart from what I think might have been ovulation cramps week before.
No spotting or excess CM. I’ve had sore boobs today for the first time this cycle. But i wasn’t wearing a supportive bra yesterday so that might be the cause! If I wasn’t trying I’d have no clue it had happened if I’m being honest.

MrsTwentySeven · 29/12/2019 12:13

@Bathwater I was just about to ask you too - thanks!
Thats reassuring for those of us still waiting around
6DPO and I've got no symptoms ....

Threnody · 29/12/2019 13:38

Congratulations @bathwater

I'm 4 dpo and feeling very impatient! No symptoms really - mood swings and aches, but they could be af coming too.

I'll probably test at 8dpo, so not too long to wait, I got my delivery of tests yesterday - 4 frers and a clearblue digital for later on. Plus I have about 15 ics - does that sound enough? 😂

MrsTwentySeven · 29/12/2019 14:05

@Threnody omg thats brilliant haha
I looked on amazon and FRER is not prime anymore for £6 ish ughhh so I'm forced to hold off as I have no tests! May need to buy from a pharmacy instead....the IC ones are reviewed for false positives so many times that I have been put off buying them
I am going to test on my birthday on which is 10DPO....though I dont know if its worth starting off my day with a BFN :/

Threnody · 29/12/2019 15:07

Hopefully they'll be available soon, @MrsTwentySeven!
Oh, but a bfp would be a lovely way to start the day.

AF is here Sad

Sorry @whatsthecraic91 :(

I'm 11 dpo, I think, and got a bfn but not got the best idea how accurate my 11dpo actually is :/ I'm cd 29 of a (maybe) 34 day cycle, am I testing too early? Am I out? Help 😂

bluemoon2468 · 30/12/2019 09:31

I'm now 13dpo and I thought AF was about to arrive yesterday, then my cramps stopped really suddenly and I've just had a massive rise in bbt this morning. Still pretty sure I'm out for this month, but going to test now anyway!

notetaker · 30/12/2019 09:45

Oh @whatsthecraic91 I’m sorry Flowers

@Crumbsinthecarpet I’m on CD 29 too but think I’m only 8dpo - going to test on Wednesday morning (just because it’s New Year’s Day to be honest, I’d probably wait till Friday otherwise). Not really got any obvious symptoms so we’ll see.

Let us know how you get on @bluemoon2468!

bluemoon2468 · 30/12/2019 09:55

BFN! Just as I was expecting! Probably a good job as I went crazy on the wine and brie last night 😂

whatsthecraic91 · 30/12/2019 10:37

@Crumbsinthecarpet it’s not over until AF shows! Have you any other symptoms?

@notetaker a New Years BFP would be lovely, that’s what I was hoping for!

@bluemoon2468 ah don’t lose hope! Same here too I have been drinking every day from Christmas Eve until yesterday and on the brie flat out 😂

Threnody · 30/12/2019 11:47

Sorry @whatsthecraic91 .

Crumbsinthecarpet · 30/12/2019 13:37

@notetaker I'm going to test again tomorrow, I don't want to accidentally drink at the party tomorrow 😂
And @whatsthecraic91 extra cm and a few nausea waves, semi achey boobs, could all be af on the way! I looked back at my test from this morning and if I shine a light through the back of it (and stand on one leg 🙄) I think I can see a line but probably my imagination and or a line from indentation, I'm going to get some early tests for using tomorrow :)

bluemoon2468 · 30/12/2019 14:48

@whatsthecraic91 same! Think I'm going to do dry Jan because I need a detox and tbh it'll probably help the ttc too. Haven't really been creating an ideal implantation environment this month 😂 but you've got to enjoy life too I guess!

whatsthecraic91 · 30/12/2019 15:05

@Crumbsinthecarpet all of them symptoms sound positive tho! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@bluemoon2468 also doing dry Jan starting on the 2nd of course! New Year’s Day doesn’t count 😂 also going to go for a walk everyday too, as at the minute I do zero exercise 😅

SoulMama18 · 30/12/2019 16:27

Sorry @whatsthecraic91 Flowers

I was convinced AF was on the way as I've had non stop cramping and spotting yesterday so I resigned myself to next month but spotting has disappeared again today. No idea how many DPO I am but I'm now on CD 29 of a roughly 26 day cycle. I am going to wait until New Year's Day to test too as we have friends staying and I feel awkward about doing it while they're around!

whatsthecraic91 · 30/12/2019 17:01

@soulmama18 not to burst your bubble but I had no spotting yesterday after having it from Thursday-Saturday and AF still came today

SoulMama18 · 30/12/2019 17:46

@whatsthecraic91 I'm sure she's still on her way - I have zero symptoms whereas last time by now I was feeling exhausted and sore boobs and endless trips to the bathroom. Not getting my hopes up! Just so frustrating not knowing what's going on in your own body!

notetaker · 30/12/2019 18:26

@Crumbsinthecarpet that’s probably the sensible thing to do, think I’ll hold off and have one final (I hope 🤞) pint tomorrow night!

@whatsthecraic91 I really need to get some exercise, did RED January last year so think I might do that again

SoulMama18 · 31/12/2019 08:46

@whatsthecraic91 you were right - AF is here in all her glory today. I'm out for this month!

notetaker · 31/12/2019 09:05

@SoulMama18 Sad

whatsthecraic91 · 31/12/2019 11:08

@SoulMama18 I’m sorry! It’s shit isn’t it! I just keep telling myself my future child wasn’t destined for this decade!! Onto 2020 we go!!!

bluemoon2468 · 31/12/2019 11:33

AF started this morning. Looking forward to next cycle though - going to do dry (and generally healthy) January and DTD every other day throughout my whole cycle. Not going to worry about trying to detect ovulation and just going to try to chill about it all!

SoulMama18 · 31/12/2019 12:00

@bluemoon2468 I'm going to do the same I think - take the pressure off. Just enjoy DTD while we still can without a newborn baby 😆

@whatsthecraic91 yes that definitely helps! October is a great month too 😉

MrsTwentySeven · 31/12/2019 12:29

Tested at 8DPO with an IC and ofc BFN
I’m going to join you ladies in the February bus as I’ve decided not to stress over this so much - focusing on being the best version of me first so if 👶🏽 happens....it was meant to be 🤷🏾‍♀️
I’m sure I’m out this month as I have no symptoms whatsoever
New year , new me (and all of us still on the TTC journey )
