Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

Caramel x

Cycle #6
CD22

[quote Mayhammonkey]@SITL1992 I’m feeling pretty much the same accept the tiredness. It’s crazy what our minds can do when we want something so much. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for us all. I have pcos so always think it will never happen. Tuesday seems like so far away to test.[/quote]
Hi! I know - I'm just driving myself insane, I don't expect to be pregnant but I keep feeling things and getting my hopes up! I'm due next tuesday but don't know when to test, don't want the heartache of negatives and wasting money before then getting AF! When are you thinking of testing?

LittleTooMuch · 10/06/2020 14:48

@CaramelTart23 - i'm the same, I'm going into work one day a week and working from home alone the other days so i'm sat at home overthinking every single thing and then when the OH comes home he rolls his eyes at me and tells me to stop getting my hopes up

@Anastacia1 my boobs have been so heavy the last week days, seems to be easing now though but on Monday I was literally sat there holding them because they ached that much. i feel like all my symptoms dont add up to the correct timings to be implanation or AF though. If only we had a time machine!

Mayhammonkey · 10/06/2020 14:53

@SITL1992 same as me. I’ll probably wait until Monday and then see maybe. I have one test here so don’t want to waste by testing earlier and getting a negative. I’ll also drive myself mad with anxiety whenever I get a BFP so at least give myself a couple of days of assuming I’m not 😂.

Ella17393 · 10/06/2020 16:31

Hi All, AF is due on the 21st for me. TTC baby #1, I’m at 3 DPO and have period like cramps and have been feeling very tired this afternoon. I could feel movement while I was laying down and sharp twangs to the left woke me up. Sending everyone good luck for when they test, fingers crossed!

runnerttc · 10/06/2020 17:33

Hey ladies! Can I join 🙋‍♀️ TTC Number 1, trying on and off for around 18 months so feels like forever! My cycles are often irregular depending on my exercise pattern, I've eased it back lots the last couple of months which is starting to help even out my cycles at around 32 days. Currently 5DPO and going nuts checking stats and symptoms! This is my first cycle temping and I'm willing each day to go by quicker so I can test the next morning 🤣

Lovebug06 · 10/06/2020 18:14

Hiya ladies can I join,
Cycle #4
CD 24
9 dpo (estimated)
TTC #1
AF due Monday 15th
Last month I felt exhausted the week before AF, never felt like it before along with feeling sick, headache etc although nothing at all before that. But it was AF. This time Ive had an ache for a couple of days down there although I wouldn't call it a cramp. But as of today I feel exhausted again like last month so probably AF coming, trying not to get hopeful or test. It took me a long time to be able to ttc due to other medical problems so it feels like forever even though its not. I hope you all get good news this month.

CaramelTart23 · 10/06/2020 20:05

Hey @Ella17393 yikesss I am still getting those twangs 😩 your body is probably getting ready for implantation which will occur soon!

Let me know how you get on in the next few days, intrigued to know what other symptoms develop for you in the next coming days x

CaramelTart23 · 10/06/2020 20:22

@runnerttc heyyy how are you? Haha likewise! It's the only comfort I get googling and researching... I could watch YouTube all day if I had the choice 😩

I'm also doing the same thing lol surprisingly when your in the tww the days seem to draggggg, I get excited when it starts getting dusky. It just means we're one DPO closer to the test day ☺️ which is also terrifying!! 🙈 I'm thinking to join my mother in law and get my gardening game on, hoping I can find myself a hobby besides watching YouTube videos on symptoms and testings x

CaramelTart23 · 10/06/2020 20:33

Hey @Lovebug06 seems like you have had a rough month!! Are you taking preconception tablets at all? Certain brands have all kinds of side effects when taken.

What's good is that you are in tune with your body and you know what's best!

Let's hope we get our BFPs this month, I know it's frustrating and all you want to do is just bloody know what's going on inside 😩

It's even more frustrating when you just can't seem to relax. But what I can tell you from experience is a nice warm bubble bath helps keep things calm.

The corona situation doesn't help either, I would have loved to go on a dinner date with hubby just to pass some time ughgh x

Hello everyone! Please can I join 👋
On cycle 3 of TTC baby #1, 3DPO and AF due 20th.
Excited to join some lovely ladies in the same position as me! Baby dust to you all and fingers crossed for lots of BFPs 🤞

runnerttc · 11/06/2020 07:10

New day, new data 😎 Another temp rise for me but drop in RHR... Apps are saying I'm 6DPO today, no other symptoms at all so far...
How's everyone else doing?

LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 07:40

I have woke up this morning with no symptoms apart from my stomach feeling really heavy, the only way I can describe it is as if I have had a big meal or AF is coming but its not due until next Tuesday

Mich2020 · 11/06/2020 09:46

I'm 9dpo I think 🤔 af due anywhere between the 16-19th. I have a frer in the cupboard but planning on not using it until at least 12-13dpo. I've had enough of squinty line eyes and then there being a faint line and then af arrives 😥 so hard this ttc business. Good luck everyone. Will keep an eye on this thread xx

LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 09:48

is it strange that I seem to be the only one that hasn't bought any tests? I'm just so convinved that AF is going to come that I won't need one?

NJ2910 · 11/06/2020 10:01

Morning all 😊 I'm either 4 or 5 DPO today and not much to report apart from on my normal walk before walk this morning, I got a lot of lower back pain which I don't usually have.

@runnerttc temp rise sounds positive! My temp dipped today but by 0.06 of a degree haha so not sure that means much tbh!

@littletoomuch I'm sort of like this - normally I had loads of IC ready and boxes of FRER but this time i have two FRER left from last cycle and going to try and hold out with those because every other time I have thought I was pregnant and tested early and of course got BFN.

@mich2020 I am so with you on this! I'm only on my third cycle and I am already sick of squinting at sticks, holding up to the light, tweaking it on my phone. So really going to try and hold out this time xx

LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 10:19

@NJ2910 - i think I'm just lucky that I live really close to Asda so if needs be i can just call in there once im in a position that im really sure i need to buy a test

SpringDream · 11/06/2020 10:44

Hi all this is my first post ever on here. I have been following the thread over the last few days but was a bit nervous to post. I'm hoping to find support during this journey of TTC.

Cycle #2
CD23
9 DPO
TTC #1
AF due 19th

I use the Flo app to track my cycle and I'm trying to not buy any tests as last month I kept testing and I found that quite stressful.

LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 10:51

@SpringDream - don't feel nervous everyone is in the same position although I will be honest I dread seeing lots of people getting there BFP and me getting a BFN but I know everyone will be here to support us no matter what. I am the same with the tests, Im not buying any until I am completely sure I need to. Do you have a longer cycle?

CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 10:54

Hey ladies, how are you all doing?

Welcome @NJ2910 ☺️ tww feels easy with you ladies around! Hope to see your progress on this thread x

@Mich2020 I know the feeling 😞 I was so sure I had a BFP but turned out to be an evap. My heart felt like it sank to my stomach. One thing that kept me going is the opportunity to get another cycle and think of ways to optimise my chances and obviously you guys!

I think I would have lost the plot if it wasn't for MN

Thank you so much. My cycle is 28 days like clockwork so I figured I would just wait for AF and if she doesn't arrive then I would test rather than get my hopes up too soon like last month

CaramelTart23 · 11/06/2020 11:02

Currently 8dpo and I've been having this shooting dull ache in my uterus around 5am... it kept me awake for a while 😩 then it sort of turned into elastic band pulling twinges... is that normal??

Still no sore bbs, do feel quite thirsty and realising I have been feeling thirsty for a few days even with a water bottle by my side.

Has anyone also noticed a metallic smell in their urine? I can't un-smell it as I am usually an early morning pee-r it's kind of worrying me 😭😩

OP posts:
LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 11:03

@springdeam - ahh ok my maths is awful today with you saying you are CD23 and not due for another 8 days I worked out that your cycle was longer. I try my hardest not to get my hopes up but its so easy to symptom spot and then be hisheartened when AF arrives

runnerttc · 11/06/2020 11:23

You all sound so strong saying you're going to hold out testing! I literally want to start testing 1DPO some cycles 🤣
Does anyone else temp? This is my first cycle temping so have no comparisons, not sure what I should be looking for other than it staying high?

SpringDream · 11/06/2020 11:31

@LittleTooMuch Blush just realised I did my maths wrong and should have double checked my app, AF due on 17th not 19th!

LittleTooMuch · 11/06/2020 11:36

@SpringDream - don't worry that makes more sense, Im due 16th so was wondering how I was working my maths out
