@BigLucy I’m 7dpo and feel exactly the same! My nipples are painful today too 🙈 xx

BigLucy · 15/10/2020 12:45

@Purpleflowers21 no painful nipples here haha but I'm so tired I'm literally about to lay down for a nap. Yesterday I had lots of back ache down low and cramping type feelings but it's gone today. Xxx

BigLucy · 15/10/2020 12:45

I'm actually either 5 or 6 dpo not quite sure which xx

@BigLucy you are the same as me, we both at 5DPO :) Not really feeling much today. For some reason I am not feeling very positive about it happening this month!

@RichmondLady1981 I always tell people to wait until AF is due before testing to avoid disappointment, but tbh I would probably test early too!!

CookieMonster3001 · 15/10/2020 13:48

I found this really interesting website yesterday that tells you day by day what is happening (if you do fall pregnant) during the two week wait!

That's really interesting. There's a lot going on in there!

BigLucy · 15/10/2020 14:28

That is an interesting read @CookieMonster3001 I think I'm 5dpo but could be 6 if I ovulated Friday.

I have just woken from a random nap feel exhausted xx

@BigLucy it seems like such a long wait doesn’t it haha

BigLucy · 15/10/2020 20:01

I've decided if I'm not preg then I'm coming down with something. Today I literally feel like I've been hit by a bus so so tired even after my afternoon nap. I also had two tiny specks of blood when I wiped earlier not sure if that's a good sign or just odd. Xxx

@BigLucy hope you feel less exhausted soon! I think TTC can be mentally exhausting too, especially as you get further down the line!

@CookieMonster3001 Great article

I ordered some FRER off amazon and they won’t arrive until Tuesday so I can’t test before then which is good!

Purpleflowers21 · 15/10/2020 20:59

@WinterBabyof89 I’ve ordered the same today and also should be delivered Monday or Tuesday. AF isn’t due till 23rd so still undecided wether to test as soon as they Come or wait

HowFastIsTooFast · 15/10/2020 21:51

Hi Ladies, how are you all?

I don't know if it's normal cycle hormones or some uncertainty about my work situation getting to me, but I'm really down in the dumps today Sad

6DPO and a bit of spotting today. One part of me thinks 'ooh implantation' and another knows that the same thing happened two months ago and it wasn't.

I've been in bed since 9.30 as I don't want to subject DP to my miserable face any longer today, although he is being very kind and has furnished me with tea and his brand new hoody to snuggle up in. Hope I'm feeling chirpier tomorrow, we've got the long weekend off for my birthday.

Anyone got anything interesting or fun planned for the weekend (local tier rules allowing?) x

WinterBabyof89 · 15/10/2020 22:02

@Purpleflowers21 you could test when they arrive and if it is a BFN then at least you can hope it’s just too early ha

@HowFastIsTooFast an early night sounds lovely! Enjoy your long weekend and birthday!

Nothing on this weekend. DH is working overtime Saturday AM which I secretly love as I can watch my tv shows in peace haha

kirinm · 16/10/2020 08:34

4dpo today. I don't really use my resting heart rate as a guide but know some people do. Anyone here? My RHR has gone up from 66 to 70 today which is high for me. I don't think it can mean much, I've read and possibly just a progesterone rise.

CookieMonster3001 · 16/10/2020 11:25

6DPO today and feeling absolutely nothing. I have a bunch of fruit left over in the house and planning to make cake out of it! Hopefully take my mind of TWW, then I am off to Torquay tomorrow and I am not taking any tests with me, so I can't test early even if I wanted to!

BigLucy · 16/10/2020 11:50

Hi @CookieMonster3001 do you feel tired at all? I feel really tired. Also I had two small specks on blood yesterday they were tiny when I wiped and diarreah. When are you back? Think I'm going to test Sunday. Xx

OP posts:
WinterBabyof89 · 16/10/2020 12:11

@CookieMonster3001 what’s the fruit? I made banana cake a week ago and i forgot how nice it was!

@BigLucy symptom spotting at its best! Can’t wait to see how you get on

I’m convinced I’m pregnant. My boobs are sore and I still have cramping. A new job opportunity has come up at work which would be silly to turn down (internal transfer so mat unaffected) but it would be awful to start and be like “I’m pregnannnnt” as I’m in a high risk person facing role. DH is happy to postpone TTC until I find my feet in the job. So I’m figuring Sod’s law will come into full force.

BigLucy · 16/10/2020 12:31

Yes I bet in that case @WinterBabyof89 you are preg! Lol it's always the way.

I haven't got sore boobs at all and now start thinking am I imagining things but decided I am going to test Sunday just to see if I can see anything even though will be super early but I got a faint positive with my DS at 8dpo xxx

OP posts:
WinterBabyof89 · 16/10/2020 12:35

@BigLucy isn’t it haha I’ll let you know how it goes

Always worth a test, and it helps sometimes to get rid of the overwhelming urge to test ha

CookieMonster3001 · 16/10/2020 13:43

@BigLucy nope not really...just feel normal! no spotting or anything either so no idea. I am back home next Tuesday so I could test on Wednesday morning and that will be 11DPO and then I am away again Thursday until Saturday and then Monday AF is due. Kinda glad its fallen that way as it will stop me testing early and loads as realistically I can only test 11DPO 12 DPO and 15DPO. I am going to try and hold out until 12DPO and test Thursday morning before we go away.

@WinterBabyof89 I bought a pack of permissons (Sharon fruit) and silly me left them by my apples, and I had read somewhere that apples help to ripen other fruit. I was wondering why they went so soft so quickly!! Didn't want to chuck it in the bin so I just pureed it and made it into a tray bake with almonds and cinnamon. Tastes like a spiced winter cake!!

You probably are right! Sods law things always work that way don't they!! How many DPO are you again and are you going to test??

WinterBabyof89 · 16/10/2020 14:12

@CookieMonster3001 love a good tray bake! Sounds delightful.
I’m forever telling DH not to put the bananas near the apples haha
It’s easier when you actually can’t test.. takes the temptation away ha

The same as you at 6DPO - think there are a few of us at 6. If my FRERs arrive early I might test before Tuesday.

The cramps and boob pain could just be my body getting used to being Mirena free as I only had it removed on the 28th September. We shall see!

RichmondLady1981 · 16/10/2020 17:04

I’m 10dpo and so temped to test! Ahhhhhhhh. Going to hold out till AF due Monday.

@HowFastIsTooFast sorry you feel rubbish. We all have those days. Sounds like you’ve got a nice fella. Off to new forest tomorrow for a week. Taking bikes etc. Can’t wait! 🌲 You?

BigLucy · 16/10/2020 17:36

How are you feeling @RichmondLady1981 xxx

OP posts:
HowFastIsTooFast · 16/10/2020 18:04

@RichmondLady1981 I'm feeling much better today, Thanks! We got out for a nice cliff path walk today and seeing friends for a takeaway tonight, and then tomorrow's my birthday so more fun plans 🙂

The New Forest sounds great! I'd love a holiday but where we are (offshore) our borders are more or less closed so making do with a posh staycation tomorrow night.
