Anyone due AF 1st July?

Hey everyone,

Anyone else due AF around the start of July and just about to enter the TWW? I had a chemical last month but got right back to trying so keeping everything crossed for a positive result and a sticky one this time.

Just wondered if anyone wants to join me on the dreaded waiting game. Grin

Morning ladies,
3DPO and feeling twinges in my lower abdomen. Pretty new to this but surely it's too early to notice anything? I'm definitely overthinking this!
@Kalecat seems we're at the same stage! How are you feeling?
How is everyone? Xx

Kalecat · 19/06/2020 21:26

@RTfleur I’m feeling great so far! Trying to distract myself so I don’t obsess 🙈

MooseyGoose90 · 19/06/2020 21:57

It is very difficult not to obsess is it.. I wait every month hoping and preying. It upsets me when my DP is away during my fertile window as I know there is nothing at all I can do

This cycle we DTD on the two days up to ovulation and the day of, so Fingers crossed

Morning ladies,

Sorry been super quiet on the thread, just been sulking as I'm on Cd21 with my 11th flashy smiley on CB advanced and no joy with ovulation yet. Cheap OPKs still not showing anything very dark and BBT still in pre-ovulation temps so definitely haven't missed it. Getting super impatient.

How is everyone else xx

Kalecat · 20/06/2020 06:42

@VP91x good morning! I'm feeling great at 4dpo so far. The only thing I've noticed recently is that my stomach often feels upset. Some heartburn too. of course this could be due to anything, and I do enjoy spicy food often as well. Who knows. The wait continues!

kate123cl · 20/06/2020 07:44

Morning @VP91x Bless you, that must be so frustrating. I think I had 4 days of flashing and that was enough I'm sure I read on their website that some people on certain cycles won't get a static?!

@Kalecat I've also noticed the feeling of an upset belly, I'm 2-3DPO.

Feeling quite nauseous this morning and had terrible insomnia last night. Didn't manage to sleep until 3:30am and quite wide awake now (screaming 18m old probably plays a big part in that) lol.

Hope everyone else is ok! X

RoEP2018 · 20/06/2020 08:03

Hi Ladies, hoping I can join you. Due on about 1st July, but cycles vary between 26 and 32 days. Trying for #2. I have a 2.5 year old DD. First cycle of trying.
I got a static smiley on CD12 which seems quite early? Then I got peak on OPK test strips day after. So about 5DPO. Feeling crampy and nauseous. Not sure if that's a sign of anything? I can't remember with DD because we were in holiday in the TWW and just completely forgot about it. These current circumstances make it much harder 😁
Good luck everyone xx

kate123cl · 20/06/2020 08:18

@RoEP2018 Hi! That's exactly the same as me, last time the 2ww we were in Majorca so didn't majorly overthink itGrin I'm also cramping and nausea but still super early for me. Good luck to you x

RoEP2018 · 20/06/2020 09:35

Makes it so much easier doesn't it @kate123cl 😂 I'm obsessed checking for symptoms right now. It's far too early to tell though isn't it. When are you going to start testing?!
How old is your little one? I haven't got as far as thinking what pregnancy with a toddler might be like 🤭

What should CM be like now?! I don't really have any so far today, maybe a bit creamy yesterday. Sorry TMI 😆

LuckyFlash · 20/06/2020 09:55

Hi everyone - hope I can join. I’m due AF on the 3rd. Currently on 4th month of trying but 1st month of properly being ‘in the game’. DH often finds it hard to finish due to medication so this month we used a mix of DTD and the turkey baster method and hit most days in my FW! So this is my first proper tww. Feeling sick and bloated but I’m sure it’s unrelated.
It will be my birthday on 12dpo and I can’t decide whether to

  1. Take an early test and potentially be disappointed on my birthday
  2. Test and potentially get a bfp and then have to try and find an excuse for not drinking at the socially distanced park hangout I’m having with friends
  3. Not test and keep drinking to a couple of glasses just in case..
What would you do ladies?
kate123cl · 20/06/2020 10:03

It really does! @RoEP2018 Grin Me too, I think it is far too early though! I think I'll probably test 2 days before af is due?! My little boy is 14 months old, also wondering what pregnancy and newborn days will feel like with a lively toddler!Grin

As far as cm goes, I'm not too sure! I'm not having much either! X

kate123cl · 20/06/2020 10:05

Hiya @LuckyFlash ! We also used a sort of turkey blaster method some nights as I just got so tired in the endGrin I'd probably go with don't test on your birthday and have a drink or two! Can't be disappointed and can enjoy a drink... win win! Good luck to you x

VP91x · 20/06/2020 18:31

@kate123cl I finally got this afternoon which is a relief after sooo many flashies and got a peak on my OPK now too. So will finally be in the tww hopefully by tomorrow if not the next day.

@LuckyFlash I agree go with option number 3. You won't do any harm at all by having a couple of drinks anyway! You don't want to be potentially disappointed on your birthday. Best of both worlds! Xx

kate123cl · 20/06/2020 20:07

Aw yay @VP91x that's great news. Roll on the tww! X

Kalecat · 20/06/2020 21:04

Update: Feeling quite crampy now. Only 4 dpo so I'm sure it's too early for implantation... dates shouldn't be off as I used OPK. We shall see!

DawnLaura · 21/06/2020 00:52

5dpo over here... as of 50 minutes ago counting it from midnight haha. I've not really noticed any particular symptoms yet, although I've been really busy trying to prepare for my little boy's birthday on Monday that I've not really focused on it. I like that I've had something to distract me from constantly thinking about if this will be my month or not.

@LuckyFlash I'd go with option 3, for sure! Enjoy your birthday 😁 Hope you have a great day! x

RoEP2018 · 21/06/2020 07:36

@LuckyFlash definitely option 3! 👏🏻

kate123cl · 21/06/2020 17:03

How's everyone doing? Feeling quite AF crampy today but only 4DPO...

HansBanans · 21/06/2020 17:09

@kate123cl doing ok today, how are you?

I'm about 3/4dpo and I've been getting some cramps too. I keep telling myself to stop being daft as it's far too early to be anything x

jules5232 · 21/06/2020 17:09

Hows everyone doing today? I'm thinking I'm at 4dpo (5 days past positive opk) Not feeling much at all besides my normal sore boobs since OV day, cervix is still high but no CM really. When is everyone planning to test?? I'm thinking I am going to wait until the last day of the month.

@MooseyGoose90 I use amazon Pregmate OPKs and they seem to work pretty well. I get the combo box of OPK/Pregnancy strips. Can't really review their effectiveness yet though! Haha

Kalecat · 21/06/2020 18:07

@jules5232 doing well! About 5dpo now and still getting an upset stomach on and off. CM very sticky.
I'm expecting AF around 1 July so thinking about taking a FRER 26/27 June if I feel symptoms.

kate123cl · 21/06/2020 18:45

That's interesting @HansBanans I wonder if the cramps are seen as good or bad symptoms lolGrin

HansBanans · 21/06/2020 18:56

@kate123cl hopefully good! x

Buns05 · 21/06/2020 19:02

How's everyone getting on? I can never keep up with these threads on here!

I'm doing OK. I keep getting heartburn after eating at the moment, had palpitations for about a week on and off and I feel soo bloated and achy.... joys! 😂

Leobaby · 21/06/2020 19:48

So, I think I’m about 6dpo. My cm has been dry/sticky since O day. Today I noticed a little bit of clear stretchy mucus after I wiped (tmi) Is this normal at 6dpo? My appetite has increased a lot lol I’m currently sat here eating a cupcake & I’m on a Keto diet, save me!
