24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)

[Wyewaving]

I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

@mrswilso Good plan! Ahhh lovely! I bet you miss her though? Holidays there in the future will be lovely!

@Dinosaurus86 you should, I really enjoy it! Sets me up for the day too.

@1992EM oh no 😂 that's good you figured it out though! Hopefully it'll go quickly! I'm about 9 DPO now so getting there! 😂 yeah partners don't quite get it do they?!

@Fran2020 they definitely don't. 🙈🙃

Ah don’t worry @1992EM - I was once tricked by beetroot into thinking I had a UTI!

Indeed in terms of symptom spotting, I’ve had a really gippy stomach today and a few odd pains. Not sure if that’s a symptom of pregnancy of not! Unfortunately I tend to feel everything in my bowels!!! I can’t work out if I’ve eaten something odd or not.

@dinosaurus86 I am glad I am not alone. Hopefully it is pregnancy related 💕

Hope everyone's having a good weekend. Congrats on your (possible) BFP @sle0911

Had a good weekend visiting family, really made me excited about bringing a baby into our family :) still got a headache, cramps and sore boobs and nipples but nothing more. 6 days max to go 🤞

@1992EM I tracked 13 months TTC no1 and I've tracked the last 7 cycles. Cycle length can vary but average 27/28 days. I usually feel ovulation day 15 (and get peak reading) so its just a bit...wierd.

@beepbeep42 that is a bit strange then , hopefully you get a positive opk soon. I've not got much experience of them as First month using them. X

How was everyone's Saturday? DH and I moved into our new place today, luckily had some help from family to move the larger items. I'm putting some decor away right now and can't help but to visualize our spare bedroom as a nursery. Hopefully in 10 days time I can tell hubby that the room definitely won't be used as a mans den as he previously mentioned 😂.

@kalecat congratulations on your new house. How exciting 💕 .My oh has a man cave 🤣. I wanted to turn it into a nursery and use the spare room as a playroom when we get lucky. He has other ideas. 🙃.

Hope you are all well. I took a bit of time out to reset!

@Kalecat congrats on the new house.

@Littlebee1990 hope your cycle returns to normal - stay positive!

@sle0911 keep us posted- sending positive thoughts to you!

I’m 10/11 days DPO on TTC cycle 13. After trying to relax and not symptom spot I had some weird spotting on 6/7 DPO. Only lasted about 16 hours, never had that before.it was my first month using the CB digital fertility monitor. 😬😬

Congrats on the new house @Kalecat :)

That could have been implantation bleeds @Gymbelle 🤞

That does sound like implantation bleeding @Gymbelle!

I’m not feeling so positive today for some reason. I just want a baby! Why is it so hard!

Thank you @Nottherealslimshady I really hope so! @Dinosaurus86 try to stay positive. I have found the fertility yoga and positive affirmations really helps. ❤️

Morning! How is everyone today? I hope you all have a great week!

I'm now CD24/ approx 11DPO with AF due on Thursday/ Friday. My current aim to to try to wait until Saturday before I take a test. I need to keep myself distracted this week as I have ICs, an FRER and pregnancy tests for my CBFM in the cupboard.

I've not been feeling great: sleeping badly, tired, headachy, sicky, weird tummy feelings, sensitive nipples, bloated. But I've had lots of these symptoms on other cycles. My RHR is doing some interesting things this time though. 🤞🏼

I'm really trying to keep relaxed and optimistic this cycle which is mostly happening but I am having moments....

Sending positive thoughts to everyone for this week! 😊 xx

@fran2020 all of these sound like promising signs and glad you are feeling positive. I am cd 20 and 5dpo . AF due the 30th. No noticeable symptoms (other than beetroot gate🤣) had pulling around ovulation time and occasionally since but far too early to be anything related. I have a busy week or so planned to distract myself. However now have a night planned with friends a few days before AF which will involve drinking so need to get my excuses made closer to the time for why I can't drink 🙈. I am such a rubbish liar though. 🤣

Beetroot gate 😂😂
@Fran2020 that sounds very positive!

I've been having a few possible symptoms but nothing too solid, did feel a little AFy this morning tbh, AF due Wednesday-Friday so will be testing saturday if it's a no show 🤞

Legit just caved. Not even fmu. BFN ffs. 🙈😂

Thanks @Gymbelle I definitely do feel better when I do yoga regularly so will try to keep it up!

I think I’m putting more pressure on myself this month. Last month I felt very early that it just wasn’t going to happen. This month I have slightly more hope but my symptoms are still very mild and intermittent. Yours sound pretty good though @Fran2020! Do you have anymore acupuncture lined up?

At least there’s plenty of time for it to change to a bfp @Nottherealslimshady!

@1992EM Thanks, i did have similar symptoms last month though. But I'm keeping hopeful and optimistic. 🤞🏼
Beetroot gate 😂 that's good to have a busy week planned! But awkward to have to make excuses to not be drinking, say you're on antibiotics? I'm a rubbish liar too!!

@Nottherealslimshady Thanks, we will see though. 🤞🏼 hahaha you literally just said you were waiting until Saturday! 😂 but yeah still plenty of time for a BFP! What test did you use?

@Dinosaurus86 I feel better doing daily yoga too. Aww it's so hard not to put pressure on yourself. Some people don't get any symptoms at all. Thanks, we shall see 🤞🏼 I've had two session so far, first was around ovulation and second was around when implantation could've been. I have another session booked for next week.

@1992EM agree with @Fran2020 go with the antibiotic excuse 👍

Dont know what came over me! theres a 20% chance apparently that it's a false negative, dont like my chances but we'll see 🤞

Good luck to everyone else :)

@nottherealslimshady Sorry to hear about you BFN, still plenty of time before AF and hopefully it turns to a BFP.
@dinosaur86 Glad you are feeling hopeful this month. I am a lot more relaxed knowing I have done all I can and not much else I can do other than continue to eat all the random stuff Google told me too 🤣.
@Fran2020 That is true. I will go with the antibiotics plan or make an excuse that I have to drive. I hate that you can't just say I don't want to drink without 100s of questions.

@Nottherealslimshady you still have plenty of time and didn't use FMU either! TWW is so hard 😂

I'm 5dpo today. not much to report other than I was very emotional yesterday but that probably has nothing to do with anything other than I was very tired! we need to get some blinds for our new house... the second the sun is up, my eyes are open 😂

@kalecat . Oh I remember the joys of choosing blinds. We ended up going with 3 different companies 🤣 hope you have fun house shopping.

I am extra emotional today too and having vivid dreams. I do get vivid dreams sometimes but they are generally very far fetched . The last 3 nights have all been very realistic 🤣 to the point I question if they actually happened . The whole ttc thing is crazy . x

@1992EM is there anyone you trust enough to tell them you're trying so they back you up or distract people away from you? I've been having super weird dreams this month too! Dont know if it's the heightened emotions or a symptom

@Kalecat I might as well have just run it under the tap! 😂 DH hangs blankets on our blinds to keep the light out, does work, looks ridiculous though. Hope you find some decent ones :)

Another dead weird symptom my dog is being weird as hell, she snapped at a man yesterday when he reached for her while I was holding her lead and is being a bit tetchy with DH and today she's gone and fished her favourite teddy out and is mothering it, she only does this after a season and it was months ago so I'm thinking she might be picking up on something... or she could be feeling stroppy after being at a new boarders or coming in season again 🤷‍♀️
