Hi girls, I have created new thread. Hope you’ll see it x

Morning ladies x how are we? Back to work for me today 😩 11DPO now and boobs are like stones again, feel all bloated and gassy, so not the best on the day back to work x I thought I felt a bit queasy this morning but it’s gone now so won’t take much notice to that x sorry for tmi but has anyone experience vaginal itchiness before? It’s very mild but quite annoying. I’ve never had thrush or anything of that nature but it’s 2nd day I can feel it x

@Ellsbells112 10dpo here, so getting to the end of TWW. Not really feeling anything this month but we’ll see!

@Mumofboys17 that would be amazing! Hopefully there’s some new year magic in the air 😸

@Katie1109 gutted on being back to work. Hopefully it goes quickly! When was your af due again? Too early for a test?

10dpo here! Apps saying AF around 4th to 6th. Last cycle I started spotting on 11dpo so going to try and distract myself over next day or so to avoid constant blood watch 😅 not feeling anything bar my usual AF signs but keeping 🤞

@Quiffy here's hoping for that baby magic!! Got everything crossed AF stays away for you this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻 and everyone else!!

@Katie1109 I've had some itchiness actually now you mention it.. thought it was just me!! Wonder if it's relevant 🤔 (not symptom spotting at all......)

I've had some really obvious and heavy cramping on my right side this morning, lasted about 5 mins on and off then stopped. It was enough for me to notice it mid conversation with one of my work colleagues.. really hope AF isn't just making an early appearance again 😩

@Quiffy hi there! My af is due Sat or Sun this week, 11DPO today x I've had some slippery CM this morning, almost like EWCM but not stretchy, just watery x Starting to feel familiar pressure like feeling which I normally have before af, so I think she's on her way :( last cycle I started to bleed on 12dpo which was earlier than usual for me, it was only 26 days long while I'm normally 28/29 days cycles x

@Mumofboys17 I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's more noticeable in the evening, at the moment can't feel it at all.
I just feel unusually wet down there, we DTD last night and even my OH has noticed it and asked me whether I'm sure my af is due the weekend, because I'm normally quite dry at this point. I think I'm out, but all these things just give me stupid hope!

@Katie1109 isn't it funny/interesting when DH's notice something too.. makes you second guess everything!
Mine has only been in the evenings too!! I just figured it was from frequent DTD 😂 but likewise I've had thrush etc before and I know it's not that. It feels like not up inside but around the opening of that makes sense? (Would say sorry for TMI but this group knows the score full well by now 😂) X

@Mumofboys17 yes that's exactly that! Just around the opening lol x
He always makes me second guess myself, but I just wish I wouldn't get my hopes up so badly every single time!

Had my smiley face yesterday so I guess I'm 1dpo & officially in the tww. We're following smep so still a few more days dtd which will distract me for a few days. DH is concerned as the what happens after the "one for luck" lol I've reassured him you can still do it just for fun! Hope that's accurate but can't imagine any reason sex would be contraindicated just cause you're not fertile? Anyone else doing smep know the right answer?
@katie1109 some encouraging symptoms 🤞

@Mumofboys17 16th for me too! Going to try so hard not to poas early but my ic's will be burning a hole in my bathroom cabinet by the 10th 😂

@mumofboys17 @Katie1109 @Symptomspotter86 @Quiffy @ange211 @Sunflower2019 haha I'm glad to be back on the bandwagon with the crazy lot! :) here we go again with the tww craziness!! Fertility friend has now shown I have ovulated on the 30th from my temps! So don't know if I even have much of a chance but hey ho lol just takes one swimmer ay!
Feel nothing yet of course 😂🏊

@ellsbells112 it's nice to have company - folk who aren't TTC just don't get it. I have one friend who's had a pretty shitty fertility journey herself and is great to talk to but about a year ago I told her I'd chucked out all the opks etc and was just going with the flow....clearly that is no longer the case so I don't feel I can go back and tell her I'm back to full on crazy!

Just realised my resting heart rate has increased 8DPO and stayed increased till now, it increased by about 10bpm 🤔 I don’t know if it means anything, that’s just something my smart watch is showing me x

@Ange211 @Ellsbells112 I love this thread! Keeps me sane.. DH keeps saying how much calmer I seem TTC second time round 😬 that's 'cause I have you guys, I don't need to bother him with all my symptom spotting 😂😂

I just went to the loo and had my ewcm! Finally! 😂 DTD last night thank god, so will be back on it tonight to hopefully seal the deal 🤞🏻

@Katie1109 that's interesting, have you noticed that happen before?? X

@katie1109 yes! Increased HR in early pregnancy is totally a thing. Eeeek how exciting :-)

@Mumofboys17 I haven’t noticed it before, because I haven’t wore my watch for the last 6 months 🙈
@Ange211 oh really?! I’m sure it’s just another false hope 😂 I do this to myself every month 😂
feeling some pains in my left boob and my uterus feels like it’s stretching/pulling atm x

@katie1109 😂😂😂 you do crack me up hahaha bless you! I feel nothing but only 3dpo x

@mumofboys17 haha I'm still crazy to oh!! I wanted to dtd on Saturday and he was like let's wait till Monday low and behold I ovulated on Monday so I'm glaring at him atm 😂😂😂 hoping that Fridays sexy time prior will do something!!

@Katie1109 I do it too babe don't worry! If we both get another BFN we can cry about it together then just look forward to another month of crazy thread life 😂 just got to try and stay positive about it all xx

I really thought this would be easier the 2nd time round, somehow it feels harder 😕 trying to work out if ewcm means ovulation is coming or happening 😬 or whether it means anything at all!!!

I'm actually being quite good this cycle lol x normally I would have been testing from 9DPO, but I'm 11DPO today and haven't even bought any tests yet. I'm trying to resist at the moment, but tempted to order some to arrive tomorrow. What are you all thinking? x

@Katie1109 I think if you feel ready to test, then go for it! Just try and keep as neutral about it as you can. Easier said than done, I know. More to save you the expense than anything else! When is AF due? X

@Mumofboys17 it’s due Sat/Sun x I am just reluctant to order anything, I’m just scared to see another bfn. It would be a dream come true for a BFP to start the New Year x

@Katie1109 Yep. I know what you mean...❤️

There is literally only one way to find out for sure! If you don't feel ready, then I'd wait until AF is late. You've waited this long anyway! X

Hey everyone, sorry been MIA been busy with new celebrations etc.
I’m 6dpo today.. feeling nothing bar temps are a little up and haven’t checked cm.
thinking I’m out as been super unhealthy over Xmas, lots of booze and not focusing at all on ttc. Guess it’s unlikely to have symptoms until implantation so could go I either way.
Just binge watching YOU season 2, anyone started it? So dark!
Really weird as I’ve not started getting a few cramps, prob wind! Lol.

@Katie1109 I also had that around the opening think it’s irritation or something, or washing powder needs changing! Try some plain yogurt 😌

Is anyone testing this week? I don’t know whether too or not as had some heartache 😞

@Ellsbells112 you’re only 3 days behind me 😛

@Quiffy good luck, no symptoms could be a symptom 😉

@Mumofboys17 when are you testing? Good luck!

@Sunflower2019 have you tried yoghurt?! 😂 I'm guessing the tropical fruit flavoured variety isn't going to do the trick, am I looking for like a Greek yoghurt? 😂😂😂

I'm not due to test for ages yet! AF is due 16th Jan 😩 had quite a bit of cramping on and off today. Comes in like a wave on my right side, happened this morning and just happened again now. Hoping it means I'm ovulating 🤞🏻😬 X

@Sunflower2019 loving your yoghurt suggestion lol 😂😂 I’m due af Sat/Sun. I caved in and bought clear blue for tomorrow morning. I had too many heart breaking evaps on FRER. I am not hopeful at all, which probably means I will be in floods of tears tomorrow morning lol 😂 brace yourselves 😂🙈
