DTD with my partner on Saturday which makes it cycle day 13 for me. I ovulate around cycle day 15/16. So today or tomorrow. I can’t DTD today so I have to stick with my partners swimmers from Saturday. Wondering if I’m still in with a chance this month 😕I know it takes hours for egg to be released and sperm live for a few days but I’m still thinking I’m out. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

Morning Smile
Im feeling good today! Sun is out, put new summer dress on and going to look at new houses! Grin I have still got bloating and cramps but not stopping me today!
I was unofficially working from home for about 6 months pre-Covid, I travelled around the country for 1/2 days most weeks and rest of time at home. Work was crazy busy when covid hit and hasn't eased up so thankfully the week days go fast!
@Leobaby I suffer with anxiety too, thankfully the keeping busy has really helped so feel for you if you haven't been working, think I would have lost it if I was you! Especially with TTC too!! Hope your able to look after yourself and take some you time to relax Smile

Leobaby · 20/06/2020 12:38

@Csari yeah I can imagine you are fed up. I’m fed up already lol. I’m literally not gonna think about it anymore 😂

@SK2970 oh bless you! Well at least the sun is out and you’re going to have a good day!😊yeah it’s crazy. I’m not as bad as what I was, but then obviously the fear of it coming back is playing on my mind. I’m trying to keep busy, but just not motivated! But thank you, hope you have a lovely day! 😊x

Hey guys, how are you all today? Anyone cracked and tested yet or is it still too early? I reckon I'm about 10 dpo now sowould normally be testing but am holding off as don't want to be disappointed.
@RobinRose I hope you have a lovely Birthday

Leobaby · 22/06/2020 12:29

Hey @Csari I’m good thanks. Think I’m about 7dpo, my skin has took a turn for the worst. I have very sore big red bumps on my forehead, cheek & chin. Never ever have spots, especially before af is due. Been doing my normal skincare routine. Urgh! Sore breasts today as well, have had backache for a few days lol. Don’t get that until a few days before af. Other than that I’m okay, I’ve bought some tests just in case that will be arriving today but gonna hold off until the end of the week I think! On a better note, the weather is so nice!! Me and OH might go for a nice walk around some places we found in Derbyshire on Wednesday. So hopefully weather stays good. How are you?

Happy Birthday @RobinRose. Have a good day and eat plenty of chocolate & cake 🤪

Ooh how exciting, that all sounds really positive @Leobaby fingers crossed for you ☺️. I hope you enjoy your walk too, it sounds lovely.
I'm ok thanks, 5 or so to go days before AF is due but I have a feeling she'll arrive early this month as I'm feeling like I'll come on any moment.

Leobaby · 22/06/2020 14:58

Thank you @Csari I’m not going to get my hopes up though as I still have a feeling I’m not pregnant. Although I mentioned it to OH and he’s been so excited since so now I’ll feel bad if af comes! Thank you. Oh no really? Hopefully af doesn’t come for you. When are you going to test? 5 days isn’t too far away!

SK2970 · 23/06/2020 10:31

Morning ladies! How are you all today?
All my symptoms have gone away Sad I have been monitoring my resting HR and it has dropped which apparently is the trend for not pg Sad
I have ordered some first response and early response tests which have literally just arrived so will read the instructions and might test later today or tomorrow morning and will be 10dpo according to Flo but think it's more 12-14 dpo.

Csari · 23/06/2020 11:14

Morning @SK2970 my rhr always drops right before AF, its usually the day before for me.
Hopefully it doesn't mean your not preg though, I know lots of other things can affect it like how well you slept or how hot it is.
Im ok thanks :) no symptoms for me this month except stomach cramps for the past few days, I actually feel like AF could arrive any minute so I'm expecting a short cycle this month.

Csari · 23/06/2020 11:20

@Leobaby I would normally have tested by now but just not feeling it this month so might wait until AF is late if it happens. How about you?

Rebecca1992 · 23/06/2020 11:23

Hi Ladies, this is my first time posting on a forum. I need some advice, I hope ye dont mind. Do I have 2 girls (7&3) both by C-Section. After plenty of consideration myself and my OH (other half) Jane decided to try for 1 more. My cycles are pretty regular usually 25-28 days, I'm an early tester (no patience) I only started keeping an eye on my cycles/ovulation for the past 3 months. AF was due tomorrow 22/06, Tues 17th I tested with 2x Suresign Early, both very faint positive (extremely excited) again the next morning I test with 2x Clearblue ultra early, nothing on them so I put them away, I checked them again an hour later and both had 2 lines (one fainter but a definite line) Thursday I used 2x tesco tests again faint but definitely 2 lines, I tested again that evening with a FRER came back negative, I started spotting thursday night (never happened on my other 2 pregnancies) I've bled (not my usual period heavy nor as long) from Friday night until this morning Sunday (stopped now) I started cramping Wednesday I thought nothing of it. I have had 3 negative since Thursday evening, cramping has been constant since Wednesday, although this morning it's more of a stitch like feeling in my right side rather than a cramp. My usual period is quite heavy and always lasts 5days. Is this a chemical pregnancy??

Csari · 23/06/2020 11:45

Hi Rebecca, it does sound to me like it could have been a chemical pregnancy unfortunately. I hope you are ok and get a BFP really soon.

Rebecca1992 · 23/06/2020 12:22

Csari, thanks that's what I thought too!! Heres to the next month! 😊

SK2970 · 23/06/2020 12:51

So I couldn't wait... I flippantly did the test and said to DH that it would be a waste of test and time esp as early and not FMU! Now look.. totally did not expect it, I had convinced myself that I was out this cycle because of having the infection!

Anyone else DTD few days before ov?! 2WW
Csari · 23/06/2020 12:59

Yay @SK2970 huge congratulations! Bet you are so pleased ☺️

SK2970 · 23/06/2020 13:23

@Csari thank you!! I'm excited and petrified at the same time!! Eek! I can't believe it is real and I'm worried that if I do another then it will be negative!
My fingers are crossed you all get your BFPs soon!

Leobaby · 23/06/2020 14:54

Woo!! Congratulations @SK2970! Hope you have a healthy 9 months!💕

OP posts:
Leobaby · 23/06/2020 14:55

@Csari and I feel the same. I feel like I’m out this month so I’m going to wait and see if af comes. If late then I will test but knowing my luck af will appear straight after I’ve tested - happened plenty of times lol!

OP posts:
Csari · 24/06/2020 13:02

Thanks @SK2970 :) how are yoy feeling now?

@Leobaby I now have a tell-tale pre AF spot on my chin so just waiting for her to arrive really. Feeling really positive about next month at least and very glad I didn't waste money on a test. How are you doing now?

SK2970 · 24/06/2020 13:29

Thank you ladies Grin

@csari my mind is mashed haha!! I was so convinced then in the last few days I had really written it off - I also have the tell-tale AF spots so might not be over yet! I'm waiting for it to sink in, I didn't sleep much last night - just kept thinking that it would fall out!! I have quite bad twinges and a bit of nausea but that could be the heat!

My fingers are crossed for you all 🤞🏻keep us updated!

Leobaby · 24/06/2020 18:01

Well of course you never know until af arrives but then you know your body better than any of us lol! @Csari. At least you feel positive about next month which is good. Well, I’ve been out and about today, the heat is insane. But about 6 hours ago I had sharp sudden pains in my pelvis, which has followed by HORRIBLE backache. Im now currently in a hot bath to see if it’ll ease it. I’m 9dpo, not due for at least a week.

Csari · 25/06/2020 14:07

Oh about the right time for implantation then @Leobaby thats exciting, hopefully a really good sign.

@SK2970 I am glad to hear you are doing well, my friend is 8 months preg at the mo and she said she hasn't quite got her head around it and it still doesn't feel 100% real even with a massive bump lol. Im so pleased for you, hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.
