AF due 28th April currently 5DPO

[Chlo2701]

Just wondering if there's anybody else out there that's due their AF around the same time as me. I definitely ovulated last Tuesday as I've been using the Clearblue ovulation digital test, & I also felt pretty sharp pain coming from my left ovary that day. I'm now 5DPO & yesterday & today I've been getting a dull achiness on & off on my left side. If there is anyone that's around the same time as me, I just thought we could keep each other updated on our symptoms☺️ AF not due for another 10 days so I hope it's not coming early 🤞🏻

5dpo right here! I was due on 28th, but I ovulated a day later than expected, so current prediction is 29th April. I normally get really sore boobs 10 -12 days before AF, but so far nothing... we shall see! Cycle 3 trying for #1 for us. How about you?

AF due 29th! Also had a weird pain in left ovary but after ovulation and yesterday had very gloopy milky discharge, nothing else though.. also only decided to TTC this month and was on the pill for 13 years until January so think it’s unlikely but you never know!! Not using ovulation tests but have an app that gives me dates.. will buy some for next month. Bought a FRER and may do that next weekend x

Hi I'm 4dpo, AF due on 29th April. Also had pains on my left side around ovulation. TWW is even harder during quarantine 😭 How's everyone else coping?

Well ladies I've woken up this morning & im still getting this ache all in my left side🙉 I'm so confused as never really taken much notice before because this is the first month I'm properly tracking. Literally driving myself crazy with google🙈 lots of people on here say sometimes you can feel implantation, but one website I read on google says you can't 🤷‍♀️ I seriously need to stop thinking about it, but with lockdown there's nothing else to think about🤪
I'm 35 so worried that my age is against me. Been having unprotected sex for a fair few months now but like I said this is the first month I've properly tracked everything & used ovulation kit.
I've got a 14yr old & fell pregnant straight away with him. But it took me 2yrs to fall pregnant with my 10yr old.
What's everyone else's story/background?
Looking forward to us all keeping each other posted. Good luck ladies !! Xx

Hi guys, thought I would jump in. My AF is due on the 25th so a little earlier than some of you.
I am also 35 @Chlo2701 and like you feel that time is against me. I swither between calmly acknowledging that plenty people have babies into their 30’s and stressing about it will affect the likelihood of conception so buck up to blind panic that this will never happen for me!! It’s a rough old rollercoaster. I am trying for No1 and this is my 10th cycle.
Ovulation pains can be the pits can’t they!! I get them on different sides every month which is normal and when I first noticed them I was like what on earth is that!! I have to say when I wasn’t TTC I never noticed all these aches and pains before, it’s amazing how attuned to our bodies we must get.
Currently I have sore boobs which I always get, however it is a little earlier that usual for me and it’s the whole boobs rather than the nipples which it usually is. I use an Ava bracelet and occasionally use OPK with it on the odd month just to track accuracy of the bracelet.
I actually don’t struggle with the TWW @AutumnJ0y, it is the first two weeks I find the hardest. The first spot of blood is my toughest day and then I usually have an incredibly low day and then try to get positive again but I do struggle more with the first two weeks. During the TWW I get so excited at the possibility of it all.
Anyway sorry for the essay, I tend to waffle. Hope you are all fine today.

I'm 33 and I'm ttc for the first time. We started our TTC journey in January, so it's only been a few months for us. It took some time to understand my cycle, how to track ovulation and the whole ttc process. I've always had very regular 28 days cycle and have always tracked my cycle on my fit bit app. We then made the decision over Christmas, to start to ttc in January and that's when my cycles changed and became unpredictable. We picked up some Pregnacare pre- natal vitamins in the new year and I've read that can mess up the cycle a little. My cycles are now back to normal and I feel like this is the first the first month where we have really put in our full efforts with BD on the right days. Ovulation tracking has become easier, as I've started to understand the patterns and signs!

@Positivity2019 I was really relaxed about the whole process at first. But I am a little anxious this TWW as I feel we have put in so much effort! My hopes are high! Completely agree with your point about being way more attuned to my body, I had never really noticed any of these symptoms before TTC!

@Chlo2701 cramping and twinges on left side have stopped for me. But I am feeling really bloated and have heartburn. Although this is normal for me, but usually happens a few days before AF is due.

How is everyone else doing?

Hello 2/3DPO here, AF due on the 28th of April. Haven’t felt a lot of symptoms yet, although I did feel my ovaries hurting a lot around ovulation time (also had positive opk strips!).

I've been in the kitchen the last few hours cooking & trying to take my mind off it all🙈 been moving around so haven't really noticed my twinges, but now I've come out in the garden & led down & I can feel it again now! Just this niggling pain on the left side🙉 so looks like as soon as I stop & relax I can feel it! So bloody odd!
After ovulation I didn't seem to get any discharge, but today & yesterday I've got a little bit of white milky discharge. Like I said before this is the first month I've been taking any notice of it, so I don't know if this is what usually happens every cycle anyway 🤷‍♀️
Really hope this is going to be a lucky thread for us ladies!
@Positivity2019 I completely get you on the age thing, that's exactly how I feel. I'm dredding that I've left it too late!
One thing I do remember about my last pregnancy is that my nipples were on fire! But I can't remember when that started as was 11yrs ago😣 I know I should be grateful for the 2children I've got already & I am, but they're both boys & if I'm honest I long for a girl. Sounds so selfish I know, but this is the only place I can properly vent my true feelings. My best friend has 2 boys & has an unplanned pregnancy which resulted in the little girl that she'd always hoped for. She's 5months old now, & that's what has made me super broody! 🙈x

I love that so many of us in our thirties! I’m 30

@Chlo2701 I totally get what you mean about niggling pains. I’m having mild cramps this afternoon and have decided to lie down for a bit. We always seem to notice every little thing about our bodies during the tww. Things that could be normal and we experience every month, but somehow they always feel different when we are waiting! Fingers crossed these are all positive signs.

Hi all,
I hope you dont mind me joining, this is only my first cycle trying so I am very new to all of this! I think I ovulated on the 11th My AF is due 25th April. I have been having bad stabbing pains near my left ovary for the last 2 days and feel very sick today. Hoping these are good signs!
Any hints and advice are welcome

Im 6dpo and the tww is torture atm lol!
Im 33 and ttc #3. Ive had regular 28 day cycles for as long as i can remember but i had the flu over Christmas and my cycles took the brunt of it and have been about 34 days since then so have been tracking using opk's to see what is happening and when.
Its really great to read everyone else's stories ❤️

Hi everyone!
Af due 30th... Month 1 of ttc number 2!
I'm 4dpo now, had stabby mild Cramping pains a few nights ago, otherwise feel OK!

Hiya I'm also due on 28th April. TTC second, first month of trying.

I'm definitely feeling full in my lower abdomen, twinges and cramping and I'm pretty sure my nipples are getting bigger/darker, but no real breast soreness. I do get cramping before my period but now can't remember if it feels exactly like this or if it starts over a week before I'm due. I wish I had paid more attention now!

It's been 6 yrs for me so I can't really remember what happened and how I felt last time! I'm trying not to read into things too much as don't want to be disappointed.

Good luck everybody

Tww is dragging! In 36 and been ttc for 13 months- af due 25th but I'm on month 2 of clomid so all my usual symptoms are all over the place. I can't tell when/if I ovulated but I'm not having the usual cramps I get leading up to af time. It's tough to stay motivated!

How is everyone?

I'm not feeling too well tonight, I'm exhausted, crampy bloated feeling, headache a bit icky sicky.
I've abandoned my 18 month old and OH downstairs and in bed with a water bottle... Just until I have to do the dreaded bedtime!

Hey @Popcat120 I'm not feeling too bad now, pain in the left side has calmed down loads & now just have abit of an achey womb on & off, but it's hardly noticeable, does remind me of abit like a period but nowhere near as bad. So I do wonder if it's on it's way as I am due a week tomorrow & I've not had much patience last 2days, feeling pretty narky & irritable🙈 But I have had thick creamy discharge yesterday & today. Apart from that nothing else to report. I know you're feeling abit crappy but maybe that's a good thing fingers crossed🤞🏻x

@Popcat120
Im with you on the icky feeling... Kids are in bed now so im chilling out with a cold lemonade and then will be heading to Bedfordshire I think (by that I mean bed... No lockdown rules being broken by travelling to actual Bedfordshire 😂😂). I am 7dpo and feel weird... Boobs hurting, felt crampy when i woke, nauseated this morning and a bit this evening. Horrendous acne 😱. But i always get acne and sore boobs in the week before af, so who knows! But the acne is reallllllly bad this month.

@mothertodinosau that's funny... Because I live in Bedfordshire! Lol
Fingers crossed for you!
I got horrendous nausea at 7/8 dpo last time, just felt awful.

Ill be heading to bed at soon as little one crashes.
I decided to get him used to his cot so the past 3 nights we've had horrendous screaming for an hour at bedtime before he gives In!

@popcat120 no way?!?! What a coincidence lol!!!
We have been renovating and our two hirls have been top and tailing... Just moved them back into bunks and they thought it was great fun until all hours so im with you on that feeling lol!
Heres to a good night sleep tonight for us 🥂

How is everyone’s symptoms today? I’m 7dpo and my BBT is increasing nicely... I am just taking the increases in temp as positive thoughts at the moment. Sore boobs and mild cramps yesterday, but other than that I’m fine today! Must resist the urge to poas on Friday...

Morning

Loads of cramping and twinges yesterday, although not so much today. woke up very hot this morning, is that a sign?! You'd think I would know having been through this before

Hello! New to this thread but I'm also in the TWW. I'm 6DP0 on cycle 6 after MC at 6 weeks last month. I'm blessed to already have 2 children, but we knew we always wanted a 3rd. I'm 34 next month. First baby conceived in the blink of an eye at 27. Second baby was very much planned and took 6months and number 3 is taking its sweet time sticking! The MC completely threw us last month, having been so lucky to never experience that before, so needless to say we are a bit more cautious now. I'm a terrible POAS addict and actually found out about my last pregnancy on 7/8DPO, so I'm so tempted to test early again this week. Not entirely sure when I'm due as this month has been completely out of wack since MC, but I used Clearblue OPK and know when I peaked. Fingers crossed everyone xxxx

Well ladies I just have a bad feeling my period is going to come. Due a week today, I'm about 7/8 DPO now & cycle day 23. Keep getting dull achey womb like AF is on its way. Haven't got sore boobs or nipples, & had no discharge today, gone completely dry. Couldn't keep my eyes open last night & was asleep by just gone 9. Still feel abit irriatable & narky🙈 having lots of dreams & OH said I was shouting in my sleep last night😂 keep feeling hungry. & when I woke up at 6 this morning I could of sworn I smelt someone cooking bacon sandwiches but they weren't 🤣 feel like I'm driving myself crazy🙉 I'm blaming lockdown😆

@Trying2b don’t tell me that 🙈 I’m 7dpo today and trying so hard to resist testing! Haha! Fingers crossed you get your third soon!

@Chlo2701 I read that AF symptoms are the same as early pregnancy so not out until she arrives. I so hope one of us gets a bfp this month 🙌🏻

@Infused if it is then let me know. I woke up in a hot sweat this morning too. Either that or it’s just cause it’s warmer outside at the minute. Haha!

Afternoon everyone.
I'm stil feeling off today, heady, bit sicky, appetite gone completely. Tired (but may be cos my 18 month old being a terror at night at the moment!)
Trying not to analyse everything.
