Hi, please feel free to join the thread! 😊

A bit about me - cycle 2 of trying, came off pill Oct 19. Cycle ranging 36-40 days. Have used OPKs since December. First month using CB digi - had solid smiley cycle day 23 but this month I've had no other ovulation symptoms! Now on cycle day 26 and CB digi back to solid circle so must have happened.. assuming I'm 2DPO today. DTD cycle day 22 and 24. Used preseed last month but not this month. Baby dust to you all 🥰🥰

Ah! I’m going to re test in the morning so I’m sure but I’m hopeful! Did you re test on yours x

lydia771 · 05/05/2020 16:27

@Happygolucky71 haven't been able to get a FRER in any shops or pharmacy so have ordered on amazon. Have done 3 more cheapies and all negative so not holding out any hope, had a little cry and now focusing on next month!

@lydia771 I have hope that the frer May be positive! Think of all the rose you can drink now!

lydia771 · 07/05/2020 18:18

How's everyone doing?

FRERs arrived today but hidden them away. AF due tomorrow but I'm not feeling any of the usual symptoms. A bit twingey and burning/hot sensations in my lower abdomen which is something I've never had before! and my boobs have been throbbing all day and nipples super sensitive which is unusual too. Going to see if she turns up in the morning...

Negative tests for me and due tomorrow. I really have my fingers crossed for you! I don’t know how to cope with this emotional rollercoaster every month. I’m so much happier now I know it’s just negative and expect AF rather than the holiday maybes.

*horrible

lydia771 · 07/05/2020 21:52

@Happygolucky71 it's really awful isn't it. It's affecting my mood so much, the past few days me and my OH have had some really horrible fights that I'm starting because I'm so emotional! I honestly thought it would be so much easier, people get pregnant when they don't plan to all the time 😫 going to start temping next cycle.

There's this YouTuber I follow and she is TTC but is so public about it, talks about it on her videos so her hundreds of thousands of followers know and I think it's insane to share that, it's so private I wouldn't tell anyone!

Hi

This is my first post.

I'm in the dreaded tww.

I don't know how I feel. Part of me desperately wants to be pregnant but it's not good timing.

I don't think I am but I just wanted to speak to women who got the ups and downs I've been through in the past 8 days!

I am 8 dpo. I have had headaches, slight cramps and twinges, my sense of smell is heightened but then I've always had strong smell. I've gone from thinking I am to thinking I definitely am not. I haven't had any discharge which is a big reason why I think I'm not - is this usual? I've ordered tests but feeling it was a waste to do so!

I think the earliest I can test is Sunday - 10 dpo? But I'm trying to wait longer.

If AF does show up (I'm trying to learn all the acronyms!) I think I'm going to go on the pill. I'm reluctant to do so but this tww is nerve wracking and as I said it's really not the best time. However I do so want TC :( :/

Violetlilac · 08/05/2020 07:37

It's good to hear you feel happier! I know I will feel sad the hope is gone but it's not all bad :)

TTCgee · 08/05/2020 07:57

Hey hope it's okay to join in with you guys for some support! This is cycle 3 for us trying for our first 🥰

I'm 12DPO and period due tomorrow/ Sunday! I'm part of the #waittowee club now after literally going through about 20 tests over my last two cycles when I was convinced I was pregnant only to get BFNs! 🙈

I've had some of the same symptoms as you guys. Cramped really badly 10DPO and thought my period would arrive the next day (as that's what usually happens) but nothing... also again sorry for TMI but had really wet / watery CM almost every day after ovulation which doesn't ever happen to me (although it's totally dried up again now) now just getting cramps off and on. Also been feeling dizzy/ nauseous (not ever like I'm going to be sick though).

But having said all that I've had more symptoms before and then it's been nothing! So frustrating! I'm convinced AF will show up but it's mad because even though I'm sure it will I can't help holding onto a bit of hope! Hopefully baby dust will be on our way soon ladies 🙏🏼

Violetlilac · 08/05/2020 08:19

@TTCgee that sounds very promising! Fingers crossed for you. I understand what you're saying though - it's so easy to symptom spot!! I'm only 8 dpo and feeling nauseous most likely due to anxiety and coffee, back ache likely due to sitting awkwardly, headaches probably from work haha.

Well done on waiting. I'm not sure I can last past 12 dpo! This week has been the longest of my life

lydia771 · 08/05/2020 10:33

14dpo today, just checked my Premom app which I log ovulation on and I was actually due on yesterday, thought it was today.

So far nothing much to indicate AF will arrive, did a cheapie again yesterday and it was negative but I'm too nervous to take a FRER. I think I'll give it a few more days just incase I mistook my ovulation date.

I had my static smiley 23rd April so predicated I ovulated on the 24th. Went back to a circle on the 25th.

Had a faint positive cheapie a few days ago but all negative since.

lydia771 · 08/05/2020 10:36

I've just wiped and yellowish EWCM. 14 dpo had this 2 days ago as well. My CM normally completely dries up after ovulation. I know I should just probably POAS 😂😂😂

OP posts:
Violetlilac · 08/05/2020 12:29

@lydia771 is first response the most accurate? 14dpo is ok to test surely?

lydia771 · 08/05/2020 13:24

@Violetlilac I just know it'll be negative so don't want to upset myself! :(

OP posts:
Violetlilac · 08/05/2020 13:32

@lydia771 aw :( focus on the positive so far you've not had symptoms of AF coming. When are you expecting AF? I keep swinging between I am to I'm definitely not. I feel a bit crampy today 8dpo so thinking AF will show up!

lydia771 · 08/05/2020 13:37

I believe I ovulated 14 days ago today. Had static smiley 15 days ago. But I didn't have any of my ovulation symptoms - just the smiley so that's all I'm going by, if I didn't get the smiley I would say I never ovulated!

OP posts:
Violetlilac · 08/05/2020 21:25

I'm feeling down. Feel it's inevitable AF is going to come and I really shouldn't try again for a long time so this is it for the foreseeable future. Meh.

TTCgee · 10/05/2020 15:49

@lydia771 let us know how you get on xxx

lydia771 · 10/05/2020 16:13

@TTCgee dpo 16 no sign of her but negatives. Emotions are a mess! How you doing?

OP posts:
TTCgee · 10/05/2020 16:32

Sorry to hear you're feeling like that and for the negatives :-( . Hopefully it's just too early to pick up yet. I'm 15DPO ... holding off testing as I'm scared it will be negative! So just feeling very on edge today :-( xxx
