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)

@1992EM AF is due on the 29th but I have had irregular cycles since I had my DD so who knows! Maybe I’m ovulating really late which i won’t be happy about because I just see it as even longer to try again!

@Kalecat I feel the exact same! I wish it was like what we were promised at school that anytime you have unprotected sex you are guaranteed to get pregnant 🤣

Kalecat · 22/07/2020 01:18

@mylittlebean2019 right!? I wish it worked that easily 😂 I hope this month is my month, as we won't be able to try next month as the potential due date would be way too close to a family member's birthday, and they would NOT appreciate sharing it lol

1992EM · 22/07/2020 07:38

@mylittlebean2019 hopefully you have either already ovulate and caught it or will ovulate in the next couple of days. How stressful for you. I wish it was like they told you in school. How much easier would life be?!? 🙈.

@kalecat that is a shame you have to plan around them . I would be like stuff it 🤣

Dinosaurus86 · 22/07/2020 09:20

@mylittlebean2019 I have been peeking at the pregnancy board and on the March 2021 thread someone just joined who had a string of highs but no apparent peak - she assumed that she either missed the peak or didn’t ovulate, but it turns out she must have! So don’t give up hope!

I’m now 10dpo and getting lots of symptoms. I’m convinced something is happening. But trying not to get too excited because the same thing happened the month before last and ultimately it fizzled to nothing.

DoctorBambino · 22/07/2020 09:37

9DPO here and no symptoms whatsoever! Today would be most likely for implantation! Wish there was something we could do to guarantee that happening!

What symptoms are you having @Dinosaurus86?

Dinosaurus86 · 22/07/2020 10:24

@DoctorBambino are you doing the fertility yoga to encourage blood flow to the right places? Apologies if you’re one of the people who mentioned it to me! I can’t keep track! It makes me feel at least like I’m doing something proactive.

I feel like I have every symptom under the sun but I expect I’m imagining many of them Blush. I don’t have them all the time, but definite bouts of nausea, boob heaviness and tingling, a bit of cramping (AF not due until Monday so a bit early for that). My neighbour’s perfume made me feel sick yesterday! TMI but have also been nipple inspecting... I feel they have a darker ring around the edge but I rather suspect I am overthinking that one. But then I read cases where the month it happened for other people they felt nothing, so who knows what’s going on!!

Nottherealslimshady · 22/07/2020 10:29

AF due today, no sign yet, one of my apps has moved it to friday though, CD29 today which is longer than usual for me but I ovulated late. My boobs are killing me so if shes coming she better hurry up!

Hope everyone's having a good day x

Fran2020 · 22/07/2020 11:31

CD26/ 13DPO here and no sign of AF! Keep expecting my pre-AF spotting when I go to the toilet but nothing. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

1992EM · 22/07/2020 12:00

All sounds promising so far. Good luck to everyone awaiting AF this week . Fingers crossed she stays away and you all get a BFP. When are you all testing?

AF due next Thursday for me and 7 dpo. Only half way through the 2ww. Only thing really is my boobs are so sensitive since I was in the shower last night. Also took another opk to check as have read so many people get 2 peaks. It was barely visible . Gave me peace of mind though 🤣. Anything to poas.

mrswilso · 22/07/2020 13:26

@fran2020 I'm getting excited for you! ✨ fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
@1992EM I'm 8/9dpo today due AF on Sunday and planning on trying to hold off testing until Sunday morning. My OPKs are bothering me, getting almost 100% positive lines over the past couple of days on my morning test, it's almost completely negative on my evening test - I know I shouldn't be testing still but can't help myself! Ha!
I've been really bloated and uncomfy the last two days too, and hubby said my nipples looked different last night totally unprompted...
I'm trying not to get my hopes too high...it's so cruel how close the symptoms are for pregnancy and AF 😭

1992EM · 22/07/2020 13:34

@mrswilso I have stopped testing but randomly decided to last night. May do one tomorrow morning to check. It is very cruel how your body plays tricks. I never used to notice anything at all until AF arrived but because I read into everything so much I notice every twinge 🙈. My boobs just feel so heavy and constantly erect (sorry for tmi) fingers crossed it is a positive sign for us and will lead to BFP.

Kalecat · 22/07/2020 15:12

Another terrible nights' sleep for me in the books. I think that's 4 in a row... Definitely starting to catch up to me now😴.
Good luck to everyone testing soon! I'm only 7 dpo and anxiously awaiting my turn lol

DoctorBambino · 22/07/2020 16:23

@nottherealslimshady eeeek that sounds promising, when will you test?

@Fran2020 so hopeful for you, when will you be testing?

@dinosaurus86 I did the yoga once but didn't keep it up 🤭 oops!

I think I might test Friday...

Dinosaurus86 · 22/07/2020 16:41

I have a longish cycle. AF due Monday so will only test on Tuesday if no sign. Seems ages away!

Fran2020 · 22/07/2020 18:07

@1992EM I'm still planning to hold out testing until Saturday! But I'm going to see what happens tonight/ tomorrow.

@mrswilso Thank you and fingers crossed for you too! 🤞🏼 It's really unfair how all the symptoms are so similar/ the same!!

@Kalecat sorry to hear that, I've not slept well for almost two weeks now, really hoping that's a promising sign. Hope it is for you too!

@DoctorBambino Thank you! Plan is to test on Saturday but going to see how things are tonight/ tomorrow with symptoms/ if any spotting starts. Then it COULD change to Friday but we shall see. 🤞🏼

@Dinosaurus86 It'll soon be next week! 😊

Nottherealslimshady · 22/07/2020 19:20

@mylittlebean2019 honestly it feels like that's how it works when you dont want to get pregnant!

@Kalecat sorry you're still not sleeping, it's the worst.

@DoctorBambino going to try to wait till saturday but honestly it could be in 2 minutes, I cant be trusted.

mrswilso · 22/07/2020 20:06

Love the honesty @nottherealslimshady 😂

Fran2020 · 22/07/2020 20:11

Ok TMI post alert...

Me and my partner just DTD and it felt weird.... pretty much every position didn't feel right. Found one eventually thank goodness! Anyone else experience this? Thank you!

Kalecat · 22/07/2020 20:25

@Fran2020 I've had that before, but only during ovulation. When I ovulate, I get a very strong and painful stabbing feeling on whichever ovary is releasing the egg and it lasts for about 24 hours. When we DTD around that time, almost all positions are uncomfortable.
Could just be where your cervix is positioned today?

Fran2020 · 22/07/2020 20:43

@Kalecat hmmm 🤔 as I am due with AF, I didn't know if it could be a potential early pregnancy sign?

1992EM · 22/07/2020 21:14

@FRAN2020 fingers crossed AF stays away . Having everything crossed for you.

Not sure about dtd. Not experienced that.

Its so hard when every early pregnancy sign is also AF related or mind playing tricks. I wish you could like see if you have implanted 🙈🤣. Although I know when/if I do get a BFP . I will then worry until the scan 🤣.

Fran2020 · 22/07/2020 22:02

@1992EM Thanks, me too!

Since DTD, I had the tiniest bit of pinkish blood (so so minimal) when I wiped. 😬🤷🏻‍♀️

Fran2020 · 22/07/2020 22:03

@1992EM I totally wish you could see if you implanted!! I will definitely be worrying too and will book in an early scan when I get a BFP!

1992EM · 22/07/2020 22:07

@Fran2020 . I have read that is how people find out they are pregnant but not sure how reliable that it. I have had light bleeding if I dtd close to AF before (before ttc time) but it has never been uncomfortable. Hopefully it is something pregnancy related . Would make life so much easier if you knew . Do you have to go private for an early scan ? Tbh I haven't even thought that far ahead . 🙈

Fran2020 · 22/07/2020 22:33

@1992EM Hmmm 🤔 Thank you, I really hope so too. Definitely would make things so much early and save a lot of stressing over symptoms. Yeah it would be private for an early scan, they are around £79.
🤞🏼 to no more bleeding tomorrow!
