1dpo today! Anyone want to join the wait?

[AnxiousAnnie86]

Hey ladies I am 1dpo today I believe! After finally getting a negative opk! After five positives!

Anyone want to join the symptom spotting crazy train? Xx

Possibly, just feel a little defeated, I always do at this point, what can you do 🤷‍♀️

Glad you are feeling good @Suki2020

It is good to feel like you are in this with someone! Talking to you ladies deffo helps!! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 always here if you want to vent or just chat

@AnxiousAnnie86 100%! I found this experience until now really lonely and isolating!... all you see is a new post on insta or facebook of someone that got pregnant and personally don't want to tell my friends and family, 1. because I want to surprise them and 2. Because of I can't conceive it's just having everyone waiting for nothing...

I'm glad I found this little group of us tbh ^^ makes things a little bit less hard

@lilypad88 that's how I feeel, we told our parents and sisters when I was pregnant before, so they know we are trying and they are constantly just waiting for us to announce it!

@AnxiousAnnie86 yea... I'm getting a lot of pressure cause all my cousins of my age have kids already, I'm the only left without kids so EVERY single time I see my family, they'll ask about it... how do you handle the pressure?

Ladies please give this a read. It's interesting. A lady posted it on another thread I'm on & it's a survey that's been done & proves most women don't get there BFP until 13dpo. So all the ladies that's tested before then (including me🙈) & got a BFN. This proves there's still hope go.mumsnet.com/?xs=1&id=470X1554755&url=www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/When-can-I-expect-a-positive-HPT-if-I-am-pregnant.html

@Chlo2701 the link doesn't work :/ which post is that?

Ahhh sorry @lilypad88 I'm shit at technology & I've posted it in about another 5 different groups so probably isn't going to work for any of them🤦‍♀️ I've just said to the lady that posted it what I've done, hopefully she might tell me how to do it properly.
I don't even know how to post/copy here the thread I'm on so you can see it that way.
I'll have to give you the name of the thread.
Wait a mo as can't remember exactly what it's called off the top of my head so I just need to go & check.......

@lilypad88 it's called
Over 35+,TTC, join here 😊😊

@Chlo2701 found it! Thanks! Mh... seems to be the same link that you posted though, maybe because you copied it from Mumsnet? Maybe some sort of security thing🤷🏼‍♀️

Is this one working for you?

Brilliant post btw :) thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

@lilypad88 yes your one works, thanks love👍🏻x

What do you guys make of this?

My best friend knows we are TTC but has been really stand offish about it since I told her. First thing she said was 'well I really hope you aren't pregnant for my hen do or wedding because I really want to get drunk with you' her wedding is next summer.

A few weeks ago I thought I had a faint positive so told her and her reply was ' surely if it's positive it'll be obvious' and then I explained and she said 'wow such an exciting time for you' and hasn't spoken to me since.

I was just catching up over text with her and told her I wasn't actually pregnant and she went really blunt until I felt forced to change the subject.

I don't get the attitude! She's not TTC and is actually not sure if she wants kids so I'm not hurting her feelings or anything. Anyone have an idea?

@lydia771 mh yea... really strange :s has been like for other things? Or just around pregnancy? Maybe simply tell her how you feel about the situation

@lydia771 I don't think people quite understand when it isn't them, they don't get what it means to you. Maybe explain to her how she's made you feel. My sisters the same tbh x

@AnxiousAnnie86 hiya did you put that you take agnus castus? I've been doing some reading about it
What made you start taking it? Do you take it throughout your full cycle?

@Newbie9 no I don't, but I am going to start soy isoflavones this month. @Suki2020 takes them though I believe x

Congrats ladies with your BFPs and squinters (sorry it won't let me tag some of you and I didn't want to tag some but not all!)!

How is everyone else doing? 10DPO for me and I don't seem to have any of my usual AF symptoms whatsoever?! Boobs aren't even the slightest bit tender, I'm not starving, haven't put on the usual couple of lbs and I'm not even stroppy (or no more so than usual 😂). Wondering if I didn't ovulate this month after all 🤔 as surely if my progesterone was up either pre-AF or pre-BFP I'd have something to symptom spot!

@Gemster19 morning! Do you temp? Would you normally have AF Symptoms by 10DPO, I'm 10DPO too.... It's tough one I'm the same, normally boobs are agony by now by they aren't don't have any symptoms whatsoever except I've had a headache for three days now. deffo ovulated Cos temps up... I think someone may tell me different from my chart

Morning @AnxiousAnnie86

I don't temp yet, every month I say I'll start next month if I don't get a BFP and then don't order the thermometer in time in case I'm tempting fate 😂 (honestly in every other aspect of my life I'm actually quite smart and sensible, ttc has just turned me crazy irrational superstitious)! Maybe I should just get over myself and order it today ready for next cycle just in case.

Ooh I'm hoping the lack of symptoms could be a sign for us both then if you definitely ovulated and are the same. It's a good sign your temp is still up today right? Fx for you!

@Gemster19 yeah I think so?! It normally starts to drop by now but then it's not increased any?? I guess it can't continuously go up though or I would have a fever 😂

Im the same it's genuinely consumed me, I think about it all the time, which I know is probably not helping!! But my boobs are most definitely normally sore by now! They normally hurt a week before AF!!

How long have you been trying now would this be your first? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 ah ok thank you x
@suki2020 can you tell me about vitex/agnus castus please? My luteal phase is short so considering taking it after ovulation but need to find out more x

Hi @Newbie9 this was my first month using it as I have long cycles. My cycle length is anything between 32days to 80+ days. I take it to regulate my periods. You can only take it up to ovulation not after.

Am I going bonkers again?? Can you see a line??

Also my temp has got up again but I woke up 30min early so not sure it's accurate... no af for now

@lilypad88 I can see it! It's looking good for you!!!!!! Maybe take a more sensitive test x

My temps following the usual pattern for AF i think:(
