@ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia no mad test buying yet, I'm trying very hard to stay strong until next Thursday!

Yesterday I'd convinced myself I'm definitely pregnant, today I've talked myself out of it again 🤣 currently 8 or 9 dpo.

ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia · 06/02/2020 15:32

Same here but I haven’t snapped out of it.. I’m deffo pregnant.. or so I keep telling myself 😂
I need to keep reminding myself that it’s ridiculous to test at 8DPO and refrain from doing so tomorrow! I’m going to hold out until Monday at 11DPO! Being away this weekend helps I guess lol

Trying so hard not to symptom spot but I’ve had an increased appetite; a huge spot appear on my chin; loads of creamy CM (TMI!) and my bbt has shown promise:

2dpo 36.35c
3dpo 36.51c
4dpo 36.44c
5dpo 36.50c
6dpo 36.15c
7dpo 36.69c

I wasn’t expecting this morning’s to be high as we don’t turn the radiator on in the bedroom, it’s very frosty outside and I slept without anything on last night (not normal for me but I had extra fluffy PJs on and I was warm after a cup of tea going to bed).

Roll on next Friday when I can test!!

FlamingoG88 · 07/02/2020 10:14

@PottersonDayz

Is creamy CM a sign? I had quite a lot yesterday (tmi)

The only other thing is usually at this point in my cycle I would get ridiculously sore/sensitive nipples and there's nothing?

I still don't think I'm pregnant, I think I just really want to be Hmm

ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia · 07/02/2020 10:29

@FlamingoG88 literally exactly the same! Could have written your post! 8dpo today.

ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia · 07/02/2020 13:10

8dpo and have some brown CM when wiping (sorry for TMI) as well as cramping.. not sure if that’s a good sign or not 🤷‍♀️ Really really hope is not a super early AF!

I made a bad decision today - I was in B&M and bought some cheap tests - 79p for 3 strip tests and £1 for 2 plasticy ones.

I'm almost definitely not going to last until Thursday now I have them in the house 🙈

DiamondsInThe · 07/02/2020 18:41

Hey all! Currently 8dpo, had what I think was implantation bleeding 6dpo. Might have been a little later in the cycle and I ovulated early, no idea?! Only tracking ovulation through my app.

Super sore boobs at the moment and had some cramping and lower back ache all day when I had the spotting but only sore boobs now.

Baby dust to all!

wishing3 · 07/02/2020 18:49

@ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia - I've been madly Prime-ing pregnancy tests too! Our wait is nearly over though...
I think I ovulated 12 days ago, and yesterday (11DPO I think) I had a pinkish smear on the loo roll then literally nothing since. I also had cramps yesterday evening, but now they've gone. AF due next Thursday. Was really hopeful it was implantation, but only had negative test results.
Hope all you ladies aren't going too mad with the wait!

wishing3 · 07/02/2020 18:51

@DiamondsInThe My boobs have been a little bit sore over the last few days too, but I can't actually think if they usually are at this point in my cycle.

DiamondsInThe · 07/02/2020 19:24

@Wishing3 I think mine start to get a little sore at this point, but they have already been for a few days now and they’re really quite sore. Like literally aches when I lie down on my front.

I had a miscarriage 2 years ago and remember sore boobs were the only symptom I had and whilst that I was miscarrying I could slowly feel them going back to normal as the hcg lowered

I’ve also got a sore pain in my lower right abdomen, felt so much more when I poo/pee no idea if that’s related.

Ah the TWW is so hard!

wishing3 · 08/02/2020 10:47

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage, @DiamondsInThe. Here's hoping your sore boobs mean good news! Have you done a test yet?

DiamondsInThe · 08/02/2020 11:02

@wishing3 I did do one 2 days ago which was negative might go and get some more today and test tomorrow morning. With my first born I didn’t test positive until 10 days late so not holding my breath, but with the bleeding and sore boobs this time I just got a feeling this month is the month

wishing3 · 08/02/2020 11:46

Exciting! Fingers crossed!

wishing3 · 09/02/2020 10:23

I’m going mad with the not knowing, today! It seems that I have a short follicular phase ( if my timings are right. Linked to age and being ever closer to menopause according to the internet. Hurray.)so my two week wait is officially over. All negative tests. Period not due til Thurs. I had what seemed like an implantation bleed at the right time, with cramps and sore boobs (and lots of wind) so I can’t quite give up hope. I think the future is at home, self administered blood tests so we can put ourselves out of our misery each month!
How is everyone else doing?

DiamondsInThe · 09/02/2020 11:26

I did a test this morning and complete negative not a hint of anything. Currently 10dpo, got all the right symptoms with the spotting at time I should have had implantation too so feeling abit down now. Boobs are also a little less sore today then they have been the last few days. I’ll just wait it out and try testing again on Friday. Home administered blood test sounds fab

wishing3 · 09/02/2020 12:31

Sorry you’re feeling down too, @ DiamondsInThe. Seems like you’ve got lots of positive sign though, and 10dpo seems like a common time to still be getting a negative. I guess we have to try and keep the ‘There's always next month’ mantra going so we’re not too disappointed if it comes to it.

SinkGirl · 09/02/2020 12:33

I got my positive test on Valentine’s Day 4 years ago, wishing you all the best Flowers

butterflylove81 · 09/02/2020 15:40

Hi my period is due the 15th so I'm testing around Valentine's Day too. Hope there are a few Valentine's babies for us all xx

ttcchapter1 · 10/02/2020 14:03

Anyone else really tempted to test early but i really dont want a bfn before af to disappoint me! Af is due on 14th but my cycles can vary by a few days here and there! Sore tender breasts which I never usually have but no other symptoms.

Any updates on anyone else?

DiamondsInThe · 10/02/2020 15:03

@ttcchapter1 so so tempted to go out and buy one. I’ve tested at 9dpo and 10dpo both clear negatives. I’ve ordered some cheap ones off eBay which will arrive on Wednesday just tryna keep my mind occupied until then. I was so sure I was pregnant this month now I’m questioning myself.

Boobs are still sore, maybe less than before but still sore enough. Cm keeps changing but currently watery, and got this strange pain on my right side and softer stools (sorry-tmi) the TWW is horrible

ttcchapter1 · 10/02/2020 15:10

@DiamondsInThe

I hate when i have little symptoms from around 4dpo onwards and then start doubting myself the closer I get to AF.. this is only my second cycle trying but still, its soooo exhausting.

butterflylove81 · 10/02/2020 22:53

I am going to test in the morning with a forst response. I've felt tired nauseous and bloated. Tested on an opk last night and got a smiley face was hoping that's a good sign as I shouldn't be ovulating ovulated over a week ago

ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia · 11/02/2020 08:01

BFNs for me :(
Hope you all get your BFPs ladies xx

ttcchapter1 · 11/02/2020 09:17

Had period type pains last night which would be 10dpo.. like in my lower abdomen especially to one side so thought af would arrive in the morning as I only get af pains really close to when i start. But woke up this morning and no pain just feel a little shitty! No idea if it’s implantation or period.. due on Friday.. not feeling very hopeful tho! And really dont wanna test for a bfn.

@ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia there still might be hope! Not out till AF starts.
