8dpo today and my pregnancy tests arrived this morning, it’s hard to ignore them, but I’m going to. I might even get my OH to hide them 😂
Last night I had a dull ache right ovary, trying not to think anything of it, but again that’s hard also.

RobinRose · 11/07/2020 16:25

I'm 8dpo I think, also had a dull ache in my right side yesturday! Not thinking much of it as I always get pains then af arrives so 🤷‍♀️. Doing ok , not ealing positive at all and expecting af to arrive. How are you doing?

Nottherealslimshady · 11/07/2020 16:46

I'm 2dpo, ovulated later than expected this month. By this time last month I had loads of pregnancy symptoms but no BFP and AF was 2 days early.

This month I'm too busy for symptom spotting so we'll see if AF turns up between 22nd and 24th. We DTD everyother day diluting fertile period 🤞

MrsB2019x · 11/07/2020 17:08

Yep I’m 11dpo today - had lots of symptoms over the last few days but they have died down now so not feeling hopeful 👎

CrimeCantCrackItself · 11/07/2020 18:06

Evening all, I'm 6dpo. I don't actually ever ovulate so it's quite a bit thing to be any dpo for me Grin can already feel the rumblings of AF turning up, all my classic symptoms.

SVC11 · 11/07/2020 18:16

Heeyyy il jump on if that's ok... I'm 9dpo and last cycle I started af on day 9 so im really happy if my luteal phase will last a bit longer. Had cramps today and yesterday so was sure af would show but nothing yet. Will wait til 14 dpo to test. See what happens x

Furbabymum15 · 11/07/2020 18:22

Me!!!! AF is due Tuesday and so we shall see x good luck everyone

WhoWhatWheree · 11/07/2020 18:28

Yessss! I’m 8dpo, I’ve been having crazy symptoms and have talked myself into testing (ridiculously early, I know). I thought I could see a vvvvfl but DP has assured me it’s just my imagination🥺

Anyone on their 2WW now?
TheOrangeMonster · 11/07/2020 19:20

Hello everyone! Thanks for joining.
@CrimeCantCrackItself I feel you, PCOS here!
It’s only recently I’ve managed to calm down and accept that what will be will be, after quite a long time!
This month I’m trying not to symptom spot too much, but we all know how tricky that can be. I have no tests in the house, and I’m not going to buy one unless AF is late (she’s due next Sunday). Does anyone here already have kids? I’m TTC #1 and I have no idea what to expect. Is anyone feeling like they did the first time?

TheOrangeMonster · 11/07/2020 19:21

@WhoWhatWheree I can’t see anything on the photo, but it could just be my screen. Maybe try to wait until you’re 12dpo? I read somewhere that such a tiny percentage of BFPs actually show up at 8dpo.

CrimeCantCrackItself · 11/07/2020 20:45

It's shit isn't it, PCOS, orange I'm not confirmed, I was in the list for investigation but obviously Covid fucked that Grin but I'm fairly certain it's PCOS. This is cycle 8 and I've only had positive OPKs this once.

I've got a nearly 4 yo DS, he's genuinely awesome. Light of my life. He was conceived on cycle 3 withy cycles being exactly the same so I live in hope of another miracle Grin

WhoWhatWheree don't do it to yourself, honestly, testing early is a mind fuck. It'll mess with your head. Or, get the cheapies, don't use Frers. It's so hard I know.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

TheOrangeMonster · 11/07/2020 22:49

@CrimeCantCrackItself yeah - I had a 67 day cycle last time (though I think lockdown stress didn’t help!)
I keep finding new things to worry about every time - like this time I can’t help thinking that because I couldn’t tell if I got EWCM (because of all the semen, sorry TMI) it means the speed can’t get up there. Or my cervix isn’t opening at the right time or something and I’ll never be able to get pregnant 😱

OP posts:
CrimeCantCrackItself · 11/07/2020 23:00

I literally had that thought the other day 😂 "I dont know if this is EWCM or old spunk" sad face Grin

I gave up alcohol this cycle too (I've got a nice bottle of Asti chilling in the fridge ready for CD1 next week!) And have Been taking omega3s, cod liver oil, folic acid and myo-inositol (which I'd recommend! It's cut down my pain and bloating loads!) Thinking I'll add in evening primrose and possibly agnus castus next cycle. If you shake me, I'll rattle Grin

Sdoo4 · 12/07/2020 07:17

I’m 12dpo been having cramps on and off since ovulation but think that’s normal for me. Stomach feels a bit tight and heavy. Last night I suddenly felt very warm and quite nauseous and had to go to bed to lay down. Also feel like I’m getting the cold so not going to convince myself, I might just becoming a bit run down and period could be delayed.

TheOrangeMonster · 12/07/2020 08:28

@Sdoo4 do you normally get your period by now then?
@CrimeCantCrackItself I haven’t drunk any alcohol since I first started trying, it’s been a long time, I actually don’t really mind so much now. DH has become really good at making mocktails! I’m only on folic acid.
We’ve been using Preseed because I never used to notice much EWCM anyway, so fingers crossed that has helped this time. I feel really, really ordinary though. Just a bit of a sore left boob which is totally normal for this time of the month. BUT it’s physically impossible to have symptoms before implantation and as 80%ish of implantations occur on 8-9dpo I’m not too worried at the moment, only 7dpo now.

Sdoo4 · 12/07/2020 09:10

@TheOrangeMonster I’m usually about 32-33 days. CD33 today but not dye AF until Tuesday, I ovulated later this month.

RobinRose · 12/07/2020 10:16

Morning all! 🌞 How's everyone getting on?

CrimeCantCrackItself · 12/07/2020 11:47

Preseed is good orange we've just finished a tube, meant to buy another one but forgot. How long have you been trying for?

Sdoo4 how are you feeling today? Got my fingers crossed for you.

I'm alright Robin what about you?

7dpo, just standard ovary twinges but I get those all month. Getting more of the heavier uterusy feeling on and off.

Caaat · 12/07/2020 11:58

Hi, I'm 9dpo today. Had a couple of minor things that could possibly be symptoms but might not be - felt sick, dizziness, sore boob. I'm TTC #2 and thinking back to my first I don't think I had any symptoms during the 2ww.

I poas, even though it's way too early, and not even had a sniff of a line 🤷🏻‍♀️ AF due on Friday or Saturday depending on which app I'm looking at 😬 good luck everyone 🍀

TheOrangeMonster · 12/07/2020 17:36

@CrimeCantCrackItself 19 cycles (this is 20), 2.5 years. 😩 I am ovulating, roughly 37 day cycles with the odd ridiculously long one.
I’ve never even had a vfl. Every month, I wonder if I’ll ever get pregnant. But I guess some people go twice as long, even three times as long. @Sdoo4 ah sorry, thought you meant your period was late at 12dpo - wondered if you had a short luteal phase.
This afternoon I checked my cervix, it’s pretty low and hard, but I’m getting loads of lotiony CM. But sometimes that happens anyway. 🤦🏽‍♀️

acaciabluebell · 12/07/2020 17:53

Hi, I'm 11dpo today. First cycle TTC. The past few days I've had many symptoms: cramping, sore boobs, random nausea, tiredness - but all of these could be normal/PMS so I'm not sure. The symptoms died down a lot since 10dpo too. AF is due on Wednesday for me. I do feel "off" and under the weather but I normally feel off around AF (who doesn't) so I dunno.

Sdoo4 · 12/07/2020 19:17

@TheOrangeMonster no I have long cycles. I’ve been feeling as if I’m getting a cold, very runny, sniffly nose. Feels more like a cold than hayfever, I get cramps on and off and stomach feels quite tight and heavy.

I’ve never tested, too scared to test until I know AF is late. I have OPKs in the house so I tried this earlier and got a positive. Don’t want to get my hopes up as I see so many people get a positive OPK then a BFP but others get a positive when AF is due.

TheOrangeMonster · 12/07/2020 19:48

@acaciabluebell Hi, welcome!
You’re right not to set too much store by those symptoms - I think I’ve had every one under the sun over the time I’ve been TTC and it’s never meant anything - but I know it’s really hard not to start looking for things and reading into them.
@Sdoo4 I completely understand that. I’m always scared to test because I feel like I know what I’m going to see, and I don’t want to see it. 😖

OP posts:
RobinRose · 12/07/2020 19:52

@CrimeCantCrackItself I'm okay, a little deflated and shattered today. I'm with you on the twinges, I get them all the time so no point even acknowledging that they could be bfp signs 😅!

maryberryslayers · 12/07/2020 20:03

Me 🙋🏻‍♀️ 5dpo today! I ovulate bang on CD14 every month, but AF shows up between 28-31. I don't know when to POAS, I like to think I'll wait until AF is overdue but there's no chance I'll last!
