@dizzy85 Carol and I are just behind you! 5dpo so we can go insane together haha
We didn't do much as hubs is exhausted with work but who knows?

Carol1980 · 03/04/2020 21:15

Hi,

Sorry I've been night shift so a bit tired of late x

Like @Sungirl11 said I'm also 5dpo today. Or that's what I'm calculating from my OPK etc.

Not had any symptoms but still too early for anything anyway x

Just whiling away the days now until I'm back at work on Monday/Tuesday.

Weirdly enough I seem to be way more chilled this month than I was last month but I think it's because we only managed to DTD once when I actually ovulated so the chances of me getting pregnant are slim I think 🤔

How is everyone coping with the stay at home situation ?

ArjaD · 04/04/2020 08:47

Hey @Carol1980, hope it's your month, it just takes once 😉 going à bit mad here being stuck inside with a toddler. I'm not the best at all the playtime tbh, i like taking him to playdates and the park but we're missing all that now. How's you?

NicoleR14 · 04/04/2020 09:52

So I am currently 9 days late for af havent taken another test I'm trying to accept the fact I've just missed this period and trying to move on to the next 😩how's everyone else doing?

Sungirl11 · 04/04/2020 11:49

@NicoleR14 morning!! Aw my that is a long time!! Maybe you have missed it.. just continue as normal then and start to dtd haha
@ArjaD thought of a sandpit or something? Haha
@Carol1980 yeah a bit early still. I'm chilled too, not very positive about it.
@dizzy85 still holding on??
@shelly10111 did u manage to get your blood test done? Hope you did!!

shelly10111 · 04/04/2020 12:08

Yes @Sungirl11 all went well she took like 5 tubes so I get the results on Tuesday ! Ahhh

Carol1980 · 04/04/2020 13:11

Hopefully it's good news x

6dpo and the symptom spotting has commenced !! Felt some little pulsing pain in my left pelvis.....probably not what I hope it is but you never know !!

ArjaD · 04/04/2020 16:32

@Sungirl11 he has a bouncy castle and a slide lol. Wouldn't even know where to put a sandpit! Concentration span of a goldfish though, he gets bored quick 🙄

booh0424 · 05/04/2020 05:25

Hi there,

Im new here while searching for symptoms and etc which is same on my case as well. Im feeling down and loosing hope because i think im having a MC again at 6w2d for my fourth child supposedly. But i got an ectopic on my second, mc on my 3rd which is last Dec 2019 and experiencing bleedinv and cramps as of the moment. Im loosing hope..

Sungirl11 · 05/04/2020 08:53

@ArjaD hahahaha love it! Kids yay! No way of entertainment possible apart from bloody tv all time haha
@booh0424 aw no!!! I'm so sorry for you... :( have you been checked? It doesn't sound very right to me what is happening to you. Keep us posted! We are here to support each other

Mrsirvine · 05/04/2020 09:13

Hi all I can’t post pics yet (think because I only joined this morn) I’m on my tww (I think!).

I’ve had vvvvfl three day’s in a row but I had a mc last month so technically could be leftover hormone. Time will tell. I’m trying not to get my hopes up.

Good luck to you all!

I’ve had a bit of bloating and a sore back and some cramps so fingers crossed it’s preg and not af lol xx

booh0424 · 05/04/2020 09:22

@Sungirl11 im just sad, i just don't know what's wrong. I didn't do any thing when we learned im pregnant after 2month of my last MC and just having a bed rest to make sure it will go well. Haven't check yet, will ring the GP early tomorrow. But i passed some blood clots. I think my pregnancy symptoms are slowly going away..
Thank you

ArjaD · 05/04/2020 11:25

Aw @booh0424 sorry to hear about your struggles. 😔 Stay positive, things will get better xx
How is everyone? Got what I think was a positive opk yesterday which is 1 or 2 days earlier than expected. Oh well, we'll see.

Sungirl11 · 05/04/2020 12:33

@ArjaD you know what you have to do then Grin
I'm 7dpo so 7 days to go until af is here. No symptoms of anything so just chilling at home haha
How is your little troublemaker?

NicoleR14 · 05/04/2020 14:58

@sungirl11 doing fine now 10 days late for af im on CD40 predicted ovulation is the 14/15th of this month I started doing an opk every 2nd day as I had very fertile cm but not ovulating 🙄so going to hold off until the 11th and start with my opks see if I possibly ovulate this month I hope everything goes back to normal this month I couldn't have another month missing my period! How are you getting on?

ArjaD · 05/04/2020 17:30

@Sungirl11 on it 😁😁😂 wee guy is ok. Just one meltdown so far today 🤣 I think he's beginning to get used to it a bit. Well, wishful thinking. How are you guys?

Sungirl11 · 05/04/2020 21:32

8dpo tomorrow! Being home all day doesn't help Confused

Carol1980 · 05/04/2020 22:38

Hi ladies sorry it's been a busy trying to keep the toddler happy day today !

7dpo today !
Trying not to symptom spot but last night I had HORRENDOUS insomnia, 2 days so far of indegestion and little cramps here and there but nothing major x

Had a headache this morning too to the point I had to take some painkillers but I've read that progesterone ( which we all get prior to periods and when your preggers) can cause headaches so it could be either progesterone headaches or progesterone headaches from pregnancy 🤣🤣 not very clear I know !! But I don't have headaches often enough before my period to say that is what it is, also not had to take anymore painkillers after the first lot this morning x

Ovia is saying it's still 5 days until I can test and I've been so good this time round, I've not take. A single one at all !!

dizzy85 · 06/04/2020 10:28

@NicoleR14 how's things this morning still no af? I really do feel for you, I once had a period 3 weeks late but that was a very stressful time in life so yours could possibly be caused by the big changes that are happening in the world at the moment I bet a lot of woman are finding the same it's weird how stress and changes can affect our cycles but it def does.
Well my af is due in 2 days I've had no symptoms or anything going on, one strange thing is I've not had my usual pre af spotting that I get every month it can start up to a week before but nothing but it wouldn't surprise me of my cycle will be messed up from all this so it's probably that.

@Sungirl11 how you getting on? I'm holding on ok not gonna bother testing just waiting for Wednesday see if af turns up.

@Carol1980 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Sungirl11 · 06/04/2020 11:12

@dizzy85 i'm same as Carol! We are both 8dpo today so for me 6 days to go until af...
I don't want to test as i'm quite sure there is nothing there... but being home alone and bored doesn't help haha
I don't have any symptoms at all... no sore breast, no pain no cramps.. nothing at all Haha so not very positive.
Hope you get good news Grin

Carol1980 · 06/04/2020 11:15

@dizzy85 got my 🤞 for you x

Last mont my AF was about 4/5 days late, but it must be so frustrating though ! I know I was frustrated as hell last month as I knew I wasn't pregnant but wanted to get started on the next month! X

Carol1980 · 06/04/2020 11:18

@Sungirl11
I checked back at my second pregnancy symptoms ( my first ended in MC at 6 weeks) and I didn't have spotting, had very little symptoms apart from sore boobs, but Since breastfeeding my daughter you could bounce a brick off my boobs and I wouldn't feel a thing 🤣🤣 so don't know if I'll get the sore boobs this time round if I get pregnant !
Had insomnia again last night and indegestion most of yesterday so that was lovely 🙄

ArjaD · 06/04/2020 12:10

@dizzy85 aw it sounds like a good sign, as I had no symptoms at all when I was pregnant the first time. No sign of af, no sore boobs etc. So fingers crossed for you xxx xxxx 1 dpo here 🤣

Gemloubag · 06/04/2020 12:42

Hi everyone, I am new here! Hello hello! I wondered if you can all please help me. Long post alert (sorry) I am just so confused.
My husband and I have been trying to conceive since November when I had a suspected miscarriage on the copper coil. (no hormones in it) Several different Dr's gave me the same advise but they never tested my blood to confirm so I don't know if I actually did. I had the coil swiftly removed shortly after and as a person who never wanted children, this completely made me do a u turn and we have been ttc ever since. My periods were 33 days but since my coil removal have been more on the side of 28 days however last month i had a 17 day cycle which was extremely unusual and then this month I got what I can only describe as like implant bleeding around the time my apps advised I would ovulate. (rust streaks in my cm). from what iv read could have been ovulation bleeding? My period was due on 29th or 31st march according to the two trackers I use. So far its a no show.... I took a test last night and last week-both Negative. We were using the clear blue ovulation smiley face thing and this month it had a flashing smiley face for 2 weeks straight before I gave up with it. We last dtd on March 26th. Last Monday/tuesday I had feelings of cramping and bloating like my period was coming and then nothing since. My cervix still feels really high and I read it should come down lower for a period. I don't know what to think. I'm clearly not pregnant but I have no idea what is going on with my body. Has anyone had anything similar please? Your help is much appreciated xxxx

Sungirl11 · 06/04/2020 13:22

@Gemloubag welcome!! i'm sorry i can't be of any help.. i don't know about what you have explained.
@Carol1980 good to hear! Haha i am sleeping fine but i'm having these weird nightmares Confused also i had to get out of bed midnight because i thought i had weed myself in bed hahha i am going to the loo a lot.. but i don't find it related? I haven't been at home calm for sooo long now as i travel for work so any strange life symptom i think it's because of that...
we will have to see! I wish we both get a bfp together! Wink
