Evening!
Think I’m about 8dpo and just feeling shit; nausea, extreme bloat, backache, congested, moody, tired, lightish cramping and just generally meh!

Supposedly due on 30th May.

Anyone else? X

8dpo here too. Due on 29th.

LittleRa · 24/05/2020 19:45

When did you start feeling like that? I’m 4dpo and feel totally normal. AF due 3rd June. Are you taking your symptoms as a good sign?

Chicken123 · 24/05/2020 19:53

Hi @IndigoJam Smile

@LittleRa I started feeling crappy about the 20th/21st (4/5dpo)
I’m not really sure. I usually get symptoms before AF like typical sore breasts and nipples etc and very teary but never suffered with dizziness or extreme bloating/trapped wind.
I’ve been constantly bloated the past couple of days which usually goes down over night but I’ve been waking up with a solid stomach x

Fingers crossed for you. How long have you been ttc? When are you going to test?

IndigoJam · 24/05/2020 19:59

I've just ordered an first response test that will come tomorrow, going to test Tuesday which should be 10po. I want to wait but I just can't.

I have a few symptoms that could be pregnancy but could also be something else. So annoying not knowing for sure

Chicken123 · 24/05/2020 20:04

@LittleRa Not specifically ttc, it’s just if it happens it happens. Less pressure that way for us.
I have no idea when to testConfused

@IndigoJam That’s the annoying thing, all of these symptoms could be one or the other really. You will have to let us know how you get on.
I have my fingers and my toes crossed for you that you get the result you want Smile

House is a mess and consent be bother tidying over. I have my first response and cb ready to go think I'll poas Wednesday morning

Rbr11 · 24/05/2020 20:08

@chicken123 did you get any spotting or anything I haven't thanks

VP91x · 24/05/2020 20:11

Evening all.

I'm 7DPO and itching to test tomorrow!! Also due on 30th xx

Chicken123 · 24/05/2020 20:30

@Rbr11 Hey! I know, I have some of the same symptoms I get before AF but this time they just seem more severe. Not sure if that’s because I’m more sensitive to them this month or just symptom spotting subconsciously.

I’ve been working still as a support worker so the shifts are really taking it out of me at the moment!
I’ve had no spotting. I don’t ever spot, not even before AF. What about you?

@VP91x ooo you will have to let us know how you get on!
I think I’m just going to see how I go and wait for AF to arrive...or potentially not xx

Rbr11 · 24/05/2020 20:43

Hi @ chicken123 ,
No i never spot even before af, so it's hard to tell . The tww is killing me this time. I'm on cycle2 and have a feeling I could be just with the way my body is but could totally be wrong it's a mind wreck. Tiredness is a killer isn't it but I hope all the best for us this week 🤞

Chicken123 · 24/05/2020 20:44

@Rbr11 It really is!
Thank you, and you lovely x

Hi everyone, I’m also due 30th May and am 9dpo today. I always spot 2 days before AF but last night before bed and today I’ve been seeing brown when I wipe after the loo. I’ve also been very lightheaded. It’s the most encouraging sign I’ve had so far, this is cycle 7. Hoping to wait to Wednesday to test. Have ordered FRER’s from amazon which were supposed to arrive 2 days ago but no sign yet.

Ect90 · 24/05/2020 21:59

Hi girls I thought I would join. I’m 9 dpo, analysing every twinge. AF due 30th. We caught first cycle in Dec 2019 and had a miscarriage in feb and I think I had a CP in April, here’s hoping I get a sticky bean!
I feel like I have a few symptoms but I am not sure if I am creating them myself if that makes sense. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤞🏻
I don’t tend to spot before AF but I had a yellowish cm today (tmi...sorry) and that is unusual for me, I don’t think it’s anything like an infection , well I hope not 😂
Wishing us all extra baby dust. What are everyone’s tww symptoms?

Chicken123 · 24/05/2020 22:01

Sounds positive @Slippingcareer
Fingers and toes crossed for you for your bfp🤞🏼 X

Chicken123 · 24/05/2020 22:13

@Ect90
So sorry to hear about your mc and cp.
I’m sending you so much baby dust xx

OP posts:
Ect90 · 24/05/2020 22:20

@chicken123 thank you

I bet work is extra hard with all this that’s going on in the world I hope you are safe at work. What number child is this for you? It will be number 1 for us, with regards to testing I only got my positives on 14 dpo both times, but I am a bit of a serial tester now unfortunately 🤦🏼‍♀️

Chicken123 · 24/05/2020 22:28

@Ect90
We don’t have any children so would be the first.
Yeah, work is okay. Everything is the same except from wearing PPE and their routines. It’s not TOO bad😊
Ah I see. I don’t think I’m going to test until either AF shows or not at the end of the month.
Should never feel even the slightest of guilt for being a serial tester, especially when you have experienced what you have.
I really hope it works out for you x

OP posts:
VP91x · 24/05/2020 22:29

@Chicken123 thank you, I am a bit like everyone on the thread getting twinges etc!

@Ect90 I had some of that creamy yellowish tinge CM the other day! Thought it was different, haha. Sorry about your loss. I had a MC in December also. Hope you get a positive and sticky bean xx

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 24/05/2020 23:13

Can I join, AF due on the 28th. I have sore boobs but I’m scared to test because I’ve Been convinced I’m pregnant for the last 2 months Blush trying to be patient

Chicken123 · 24/05/2020 23:20

@VP91x Yeah, it’s so hard to know for certain what’s causing us all to feel like we do, waiting and testing is all we can do😊

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin Loving your username!! Welcome! I suffer with PMS each month but I have never suffered like I have this month. It’s awful. I really want to test already just so I know, but equally I just want to hold out to see if AF comes or not as I always come on around the same couple of days x

CurbsideProphet · 25/05/2020 00:13

9 dpo as of 10 mins ago 🙋🏻‍♀️
I've had 2 chemicals so I just feel anxious now. @Ect90 I had a chemical at new year and another in Feb. I'm sorry you've had them too, as well as a miscarriage. Our bodies can be so tricky.

VP91x · 25/05/2020 06:20

Morning ladies,

Guess who caved and tested this morning?🙄

Honestly, once I'd opened and dipped I felt silly. Obviously BFN, I'm either 7/8 DPO(days post ovulation). Now to hold off until Friday. Even if AF does come Saturday I would be either 12/13DPO which seems more likely for a positive result doesn't it xx

Dani6ll6 · 25/05/2020 06:54

Good morning everyone, hope you don't mind if I jump in?

I'm 6-8 DPO the 2WW has already turned me psycho, tested this morning which was negative (obvs) couldn't help myself though, going to try and not test again till Wednesday.. but will likely tomorrow morning 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

I had pain in the left side of my pelvis yesterday and had extreme bloating for 3-4 days now.

Anyone else having trouble sleeping? I'm waking up nearly every hour, also peeing a lot

Thanks

VP91x · 25/05/2020 07:01

@Dani6ll6

Hey 👋 I know how you feel about the TWW, I'm losing the plot over here too. Im either 7/8 DPO and also tested this morning. I'm waking up once randomly in the night which I never do. Are you tracking BBT or anything this month?
