@SmileyT yeah you're completely right, I need to chill out a bit 😂 I think doing one early test then just made me want to do one every day to see if it had changed, definitely a lesson learnt for the next cycle if I get there. Fully understand about the disappointment too, it's like a daily upset. X

Ltay2 · 04/05/2020 11:48

I've started with a little bit of spotting now, as well as my 5th day of cramps so I'm thinking this is definitely AF approaching!

BabyG123 · 04/05/2020 12:37

@KateColx it's so hard though. The only reason I'm holding off is I've seen upset and confused mummas on here. I also read a article that says some people didn't get a BFP until 15dpo even with First response.

Trust me it's taking a lot as I have tests in the cupboard lol!!!

KRK05 · 04/05/2020 12:42

@SarahTTCx I tested again this morning too BFN so defo feel out! If your only 10DPO thats still super early so stay positive 🙏🏼

@KateColx I've had enough too mother nature is V cruel 😂 I'm looking forward to see my actual ovulation dates too will be interesting. I tested again this morning only cause I bought a 2 pack of FRER so thought why not but it was BFN so I'm not too hopeful for this cycle but trying to stay positive. Sorry u got BFN this morning too x

Aaj04 · 04/05/2020 12:51

I also feel so done with this cycle just want AF to show up now!

Also I have a question and sorry about tmi!!y boobs have been hurting and this is very new. But its only the sides that are painful, the bit leading to my shoulders basically. I don't know if I make sense.
I read alot of people feel their breast getting heavier or bigger but that's not what I feel.

Do you think it could be something other than pregnancy/pms related?

Thank you in advance

KRK05 · 04/05/2020 14:36

@Aaj04 Ahh I'm sorry u feel done with this cycle, I feel the same myself. Just want Thursday to hurry up ap I can start new cycle as I tested again was BFN! As for the questions about your boobs I have no idea what that could be but maybe somebody else could help u X

Aaj04 · 04/05/2020 14:42

@KRK05 sorry about your BFN today! Hopefully next month is our lucky one! I ran out of FR test so didn't bother checking with cheap ones today.

Ltay2 · 04/05/2020 14:48

@KRK05 Sorry for the BFN! 💕

@Aaj04 Perhaps your boobs are actually heavier you just don't feel it that way, but your body is feeling the 'strain' and that's why the areas that have got extra pressure are feeling tender?

KRK05 · 04/05/2020 14:54

@Aaj04 @Ltay2 Thankyou ladies 💕 I'm feeling ok about it as I kind of went into this cycle with no clue about a lot of things anyway so I'm pretty confident for next, atleast tracking my ovulation will give me a better chance I mean still not 100% il conceieve next month but will feel more in control knowing I'm doing everything right & I believe it will happen when it happens 🤞🏻 it's only our first month TTC so I'm still optimistic about everything at the moment X

Ltay2 · 04/05/2020 15:00

@KRK05 Glad you are feeling positive! I feel the same way. Still waiting for AF to appear properly in the next couple of days but I feel so much mor prepared and knowledgeable for the next cycle!

KRK05 · 04/05/2020 15:18

@Ltay2 Glad your feeling positive too! How are your AF symptoms? Mines have totally disappeared & I'm feeling fine today.

KateColx · 04/05/2020 15:38

@babyG123 yeah I think you've made a good call, one early test has just lead to me testing pretty much every day even though I know it's too soon! Are you still getting bad sickness? X

@KRK05 just a few more days left 🙌🏻 haha at least we're out of tests now so can't be tempted! I'm trying to stay away from amazon prime delivery 😂 x

@Ltay2 sorry to hear you feel like AF is approaching, but if she is going to appear, sooner the better so you can get started on the next cycle ☺️ x

BabyG123 · 04/05/2020 15:45

@KateColx still bad nausea every morning!

Also bloody shattered and sleeping a lot!

What dpo are you again?

Ltay2 · 04/05/2020 15:50

@KateColx Yeah that's how I feel just want it out the way if it's going to happen 😂

@KRK05 I have had some mild cramps today, my AF cramps can get very bad and these are only just noticeable really and I think most of that is because I'm overly aware of them and worried about AF coming 🙈 I have had the tiniest amount of spotting today, literally about 4 drops of blood and no more since and I've had a weird stabbing feeling every now and again in left ovary area... so all a bit odd! Will just wait and see what happens overnight and if no more blood will test in the morning.

KateColx · 04/05/2020 15:51

@BabyG123 that sounds super promising!!!

12 DPO today and AF due on Friday. I've taken a few FRER tests though and no luck apart from what I thought was a faint line on the first one I took last week so I'm not holding out too much hope. How about you? X

SmileyT · 04/05/2020 16:56

@KateColx I honestly don't think there is a right or wrong just what makes you feel most in control in this out of control TTC life 🤣 I'm also going to try so hard not to start symptom spotting, I know that anything in the first week can just be preAF and last month I literally googled everything and it did me no good at all. Having said that I'm only 2dpo and I'm already thinking i can feel what side I ovulated on which means maybe it was a big juicy egg 🙈 like other ladies have said I think we just notice everything when ttc. I'm still holding out hope that you may get your positive x

Noble89 · 04/05/2020 18:06

Ladies! All the bloody BD I've been doing has led to a UTI and I feel like I might die. What's worse is today is ovulation day so we're powering on regardless. Poor DP, I was like 'come on let's get it over with' 😂.

I can't get any antibiotics until tomorrow so does anyone have any home remedies? I've tanked about 3 litres of water already 😭

Ltay2 · 04/05/2020 18:16

@Noble89 Oh no! 😫 I don't know how much good it ACTUALLY does but maybe cranberry juice?

Ltay2 · 04/05/2020 18:48

Tested again tonight, don't know why only to torture myself. Only held urine for about 45 minutes but still complete BFN. Not going to bother testing again now just going to wait for AF to arrive and get prepared for the next cycle.

KateColx · 04/05/2020 19:28

@SmileyT haha this is me this month!! If anyone could see my recent google searches they'd think I'd lost my mind. I mean I don't want to be am encourager but I feel like that's a good sign too 🤣 fingers crossed this cycle is the one for you 🤞🏻 x

@Noble89 oh no that's typical!! 😩😩 yes unsweetened cranberry juice is meant to help! Get downing some of that. Love your dedication to OV day 🤣 x

@Ltay2 oh it's so hard to resist isn't it. Like a few people have said today, we aren't out until AF shows. And lots of people don't get their BFP until AF is late. But if AF does arrive soon, it's a practice cycle done ✔️ x

KRK05 · 04/05/2020 19:42

@babyG123 Your symptoms sound so promising, I'm excited to see if it leads to a BFP for u 🤞🏻 when is your AF due? Well done staying away from the testing!

@KateColx Me too I've told myself all day no Amazon prime 🙈 I am definitely holding out until Thursday now & I'm positive AF gonna turn up probably before then anyway.

@Ltay2 Sorry u got BFN today but couldve been as 45 minute hold so still stay positive.

@Noble89 Cranberry juice defo it's what doctors always say too. Although if your like me I HATE cranberry juice 🙈 love how your still powering on DTD tonight, u go girl!! 😂

BabyG123 · 04/05/2020 19:59

@KRK05 @KateColx

10dpo today AF is due Friday by the app I used with the ovulation sticks but due Wednesday on another app.

Ltay2 · 04/05/2020 20:00

@KRK05 I am still weirdly positive 🙈

SmileyT · 04/05/2020 21:01

@Noble89 I actually googled UTIs yesterday as I kept feeling the need to go to the toilet but not a lot came out when I got there, but seems to have resolved itself now, think my body is grateful for the 24hrs without lubed up sex 😂 Hope tonight isn't too much of an effort and you start to feel a bit better.

@Ltay2 Honestly I think it's best to stay positive, no point counting yourself out before you need to 🤞

@KateColx thanks lovely... tbh I think every cycle will be a learning curve. I've already been watching videos on YouTube about what supplements I should take next month. I'm actually not feeling negative about this month but I've checked what my due date would be if I conceived next month and it would be 21/02/21 which I think is a cool date. Just having little positives if this isn't my month so it's not all doom and gloom.

@BabyG123 when do you plan to test? You going to wait until Friday? Signs definitely look promising and if it's morning sickness that is caused by hcg in early pg so means it's already in your system 🤗

BabyG123 · 04/05/2020 21:18

@SmileyT I'm finding my inner strength to get to friday it if not Saturday.

It'll most likely be a 2am pee as that's my
Bladders wake up time 🤣 gonna be wide awake after!
