Just entering my fertile week & wondering if anyone else is & we can then wait out the dreaded TWW together?
AF due 1st March, most likely be testing from 10dpo ...no matter how hard I try & wait it never seems to work that way 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

I was due to ovulate around Saturday, officially into the TWW period here. I hate it so much.

@gingerglitter4ever Try and wait till 2 days after you're due! I always feel early testing never does any good.

paintfairy · 20/02/2020 12:16

I had nothing much until today. 9dpo. Boobs started hurting (do every month but usually before now), and I've had light cramps. I usually start spotting soon. So I'm expecting the usual pattern and feel disappointed! AF due next Friday. This confirms I did ovulate when I first thought though.

paintfairy · 20/02/2020 12:18

Actually I'm 8dpo. Can't count. 😂

shelly10111 · 20/02/2020 12:33

I'm trying this month, I ovulated on 18th and think I'm still in my fertile window so I'll be due on 6th March and I come on like clockwork day 28, 6 months trying for our third, really hoping xx

gingerglitter4ever · 20/02/2020 14:23

@uisage I will try my best! Haha it’s really tempting esp. in the final countdown to AF (it’s due on Mon for me) to not test early..

This is my third day waking up with a headache and my appetite is really wack... I just feel gross and heavy everywhere haha 🆘

3isthemagic · 20/02/2020 14:49

I'm 7DPO & no AF symptoms (normally my boobs really hurt). Trying to wait until Sun (10DPO) to test but my reflexologist said last night my uterus was really warm & pulsing which apparently is a good sign!!!

gingerglitter4ever · 20/02/2020 15:23

@3isthemagic that’s encouraging! Let us know how you get on!

A08x · 20/02/2020 16:06

@3isthemagic I am also 7DPO and waiting til Sunday at the earliest! I’m due AF on Tuesday, when are you due?

@gingerglitter I am also due on 25th, let’s hope for both of us it just doesn’t appear!!

Good luck everyone! 💗

3isthemagic · 20/02/2020 18:18

@A08x AF due Sun/Mon (I have a 26 day cycle & only a 10 day luteal phase - hoping they reflexology will help that)

gingerglitter4ever · 20/02/2020 18:54

@A08x oh great! We can try to resist together! Have you had a lot of symptoms?

A08x · 21/02/2020 16:08

@gingerglitter4ever definitely so hard to resist but better that than disappointment too early on!
I was getting funny twinges on wednesday when I was 6DPO but I think that would be too early for anything to be happening. I’ve been sick a few times but again think far too early for that to be a symptom of anything! Also still got lots of cervical mucus (sorry TMI), that’s about the only symptom suggestive of early pregnancy.
I always read people getting sore boobs but I’ve never experienced that even with AF, I feel like a looney I trying giving my boob a nudge to see if any pain but nada! 😂

This was my first month using pre-seed so hoping it’s helped 🤞🏼

What symptoms have you had? X

uisage · 21/02/2020 16:57

@A08x I hate the symptom spotting too! I'm terrible for it, every little twinge has me convinced I'm pregnant. Last time, my symptoms were itchy boobs and peeing like a carthorse. I'm due a week on Sunday, I long time to wait yet.

paintfairy · 21/02/2020 18:59

I had some weird pains today but it might have been bowel related. Couldn't decide. On and off for half an hour. 9 dpo. Nothing else to write home about.

gingerglitter4ever · 21/02/2020 19:03

@A08x I didn’t really have anything between 1-6 DPO, had some light cramping on 7-8 DPO then things got a bit weird and unusual for me.. this week 9-11 DPO I’ve had headaches everyday that come and go in waves, today and yesterday I’ve had a really stiff neck, some moments I smell way too much (urine and people’s breath in the elevator etc ), super snappy towards DH (not an uncommon pre-AF symptom though & just really weird appetite, wanting everything but can’t decide, being hungry and not having an appetite, it’s all over the charts..

I’m due AF on Monday according to Fertility Friend which gave me that estimation based on my BBT chart this month. I’ve basically had watery cm since ovulation sometimes to the point where I feel like i need a panty liner haha

I just don’t know, I took my Mirena out in November after having that as my BC for 7 years so I also don’t really feel like I know my body yet/anymore so I could be reading everything wrong.. the thing I will say that is definitely out of the ordinary this month is I have ZERO breast sensitivity and if the last few months have been any indication for what’s “normal” then this is really weird

3isthemagic · 22/02/2020 11:00

@A08x how are you getting on? I caved & tested this morning but was BFN, only 9DPO but feel tugging & cramping so think I'm out & AF is on its way! I thought this might've been my month as I've had no sore boobs which I usually do really bad before AF but instead have had sore/tingly nips but I think I'm clutching at straws! My temp has started to rise but I'm not sure what that means, if anything 🤷🏼‍♀️

paintfairy · 22/02/2020 11:45

@3isthemagic same boob wise. They hurt on the ends too, rather than round the side like normal? But likely means nothing. Lol.

3isthemagic · 22/02/2020 12:01

@paintfairy yes! Usually they are so sore round the sides & heavy I have to lift them out of my bra at the end of the day. This cycle I've had nothing except the sore nipples & they're a bit swollen (I think) 😂

paintfairy · 22/02/2020 12:05

@3isthemagic yeah mine normally feel full and heavy too. Odd.

CocoW · 22/02/2020 13:11

I'm in full symptom spotting mode at the moment, my boobs are really sore especially to touch which normally only happens the day before AF but I am not due until next weekend.
I am 7DPO based on the usual apps I use. I have been recording my BBT this month though & the Natural Cycles app is showing I may of ovulated earlier. DTD over both predicted dates though luckily.

Going to take @uisage advice this month though & not test early.
CP last month hit me hard & not sure I can take the disappointment again.

Hoping to see some BFP over the next week from you ladies 🤞🏼

Conversation with DH: 'I think you're pregnant because you've been extra tired and cranky this week'. Thanks.

8 days till I'm due here. A lot of early pregnancy symptoms are AF symptoms, don't assume you're out till she's here.

A08x · 22/02/2020 17:40

@gingerglitter4ever it’s trying to work out if symptoms are normal AF or something else - why must they be the same lol?! Some of yours sound quite promising though, hopefully AF doesn’t show!

I had stopped my pill in September after 9ish years. that’s the other battle - getting to know your own body off of contraception.

@3isthemagic awww you’re still super early so don’t completely rule yourself out yet! Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. You & @paintfairy boob pain could be a good sign?! X

I don’t have any particular symptoms as such now, only thing is that my cervical mucus hasn’t dried up, and I’ve vomited 3 times in the last week however it’s far too early for that to be a sign. Of course it makes far more sense for me to consider sickness to be pregnancy related as opposed to a bug 😂😂

@uisage that made me laugh - typical man comment!!

@CocoW so hard to not symptom spot isn’t it?

Hopefully some BFPs in the coming week for us ❤️🤞🏼

paintfairy · 22/02/2020 18:01

One thing I am finding odd. I'm usually really hot in my luteal phase. This is also a sign of pregnancy. Yet I'm freezing and can't get warm? (Apart from in the middle of the night when I'm boiling).

gingerglitter4ever · 22/02/2020 18:09

@paintfairy I feel you, although mine have been up and down, sometimes I’m freezing and other times I get the sweats because I’m so hot (I’m generally a cold person, so this is really odd for me... )

Also just to add to this rollercoaster DH think I’m crazy haha

Anyway I was so out of it yesterday, had such a stiff neck, headache, went to bed at 9:30 ... I felt high and totally out of my mind
Tempted to test tomorrow as AF is due Monday, should I hold off until Monday? I can’t decide 😩

3isthemagic · 22/02/2020 18:11

My boobs are out of control! They've grown 2 or 3 cup sizes today - my left one in particular is hanging out of my bra!!! The cramps I had this morning which I thought were AF have passed as well so maybe I'm still in the game for another day anyway!

paintfairy · 22/02/2020 19:12

@gingerglitter4ever I'm a cold person too. Only time I'm ever warm is in my LP. Especially in the evenings. So freezing is odd.
@3isthemagic that's a good sign?
