Hey!

Want to get a group of ladies who are TTC at the same time to have someone to chat to during this journey together. It's a lonely process for me and only
In early stages of trying but would love advice, tips and general chat. This is an open chat and can't wait to chat to you all

@1992EM oooh that sounds promising!

Bouncytree · 23/10/2020 22:03

I have finally peaked!! OPK at 132%. Hurray ovulation has finally showed up. DTD last night and will go again tomorrow, lol can’t take anymore 😅.

I’m due AF 4th Nov....on to the TWW. Watch me think I have every symptom under the sun! 🙈😂

AKcheer · 23/10/2020 22:14

@Bouncytree Ahh that’s amazing!! Hahahahaha good you done it last night too. 😂😂 well instead of going on google you can come on here and tell us your symptoms!! I love how when we all start TTCing we literally have every symptom. Our bodies just want to drive us crazy

apwilso · 23/10/2020 22:18

@Bouncytree Wahey buzzing for you!

@AKcheer love that! Bring the symptom check to the chat hahahaha

Whilst we're at it mine is... nausea off and on today. Had mild cramps/aches in the pelvic area (maybe I've thought that symptom) and tiredness still. Just fell asleep on the couch for an hour but to be fair it's quite warm in the room!

OP posts:
Bouncytree · 23/10/2020 22:24

He he @AKcheer well likely I will do both! Lol anything to obsess about the symptoms. I was thinking I was having them and I hadn’t even ovulated 😆

@apwilso fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

I try to tell myself the missed period is the only one I can trust. But just cant help it sometimes. And it’s kinda fun. Part of the buzz 🐝

How long till we test? Waaaay to long!

What are your test dates? Sorry if you already said.

1992EM · 23/10/2020 22:33

@bouncytree thank you. Just hoping I get to test before AF makes an appearance 🙈🤣 Glad you got your peak. 💕 Time to baby dance.
@apwilso sounds promising.

Symptoms for me are similar . Tingling in my boobs(if that even make sense) it isn't sore but just a strange feeling .
-nausea - only at night time
-tired- constantly 🤣
-pulling sensation- not strong enough to class them as cramps but if I sneeze it can be quite sharp and in generally it is just pulling around my hips .
-also love pepsi max. literally only fizzy juice i drink and totally cannot stomach it today.

9dpo so too early to really know if it is just AF Symptoms. I am still hopeful though 🙈 .

apwilso · 23/10/2020 22:40

@1992EM that sounds promising as well! Pepsi max I know your love of that!❤️

Oh the other one I forgot was like @Tabbycat92 said. Had two gin and lemonades last night and was tipsy and if you know me I can drink!

1992EM · 24/10/2020 06:30

@apwilso I will be gutted if I go off it. 🤣.
Decided last night I would test this morning but ended up getting up to pee 3 times so didn't want to waste a test. Hopefully can test tomorrow at 11dpo x

AugustLove · 24/10/2020 07:54

@apwilso and @1992EM they do sound promising symptoms! Have either of you felt light headed? That’s what prompted me to test in April when I last fell pregnant. Xs

Bouncytree · 24/10/2020 08:17

Oooh excited for you both @apwilso and @1992EM. Let us know how you go! I’ve another 12 days to go before a test so I need some vicarious testing. Come on the bfps 🤞🤞🤞

On my first I went to a bit of a grotty pond water taste from their tap water and though ewwwww. When I got the taste at home I had a feeling something was up.

Headed for another BD tonight...I think it’s the 5th this month....I’m definitely covered 😂😂😂. My husband had started to call himself the SPU....Sperm Dispensing Unit. 😂

@234mu Are you doing ok?

Happy weekend everyone!

apwilso · 24/10/2020 08:31

@1992EM when is you AF supposedly
Due?

@AugustLove only been lightheaded the odd time didn't think too much into it. Only things at the min are the nausea and I'm really put off at the thought of eggs😂

@Bouncytree get that BD in. We're the same feel like we're in double figures of BD no wonder I'm always falling asleep hahaha

OP posts:
Bouncytree · 24/10/2020 09:09

Lol @apwilso it’s certainly been a bit of a sexathon for us both this month! I think this is the most I’ve DTD in 10 years 😆 When are you going to test?

How is everyone doing today?

apwilso · 24/10/2020 09:50

@Bouncytree I'm not sure yet due 6th so not sure when to to be honest!

I'm good at the minute setting off back home from my week away back to lockdown unfortunately

OP posts:
1992EM · 24/10/2020 10:18

@AugustLove Omg yes but I just thought it was because I hadn't drank enough. I usually get it late afternoon and only since last week but again put it down to being at work and not having enough water.

@bouncytree thank you, good luck in your tww 💕
@apwilso it is due Monday or Tuesday.

apwilso · 24/10/2020 10:35

@Bouncytree how are you doing this morning!x

@1992EM I'll see if I can hold off haha! My app recommends 6 days till I test x

OP posts:
1992EM · 24/10/2020 11:32

@apwilso I would hold off until a couple of days before AF as depending on implantation which is between 7 to 12 days after ovulation will determine when you have enough hormone to get a positive reading. Otherwise if it is a BFN you won't believe it as could be there isn't enough hormone and if it is BFP you'll then worry until AF is due wither the wee bean will stay stuck . Save your tests until you are more likely to get a true result. I know that is easier said than done but you end up wasting tests and spending a fortune otherwise xxx

Tabbycat92 · 24/10/2020 11:49

@augustlove I'm generally always a bit light headed 😂 but I have had some proper nausea today, and tingly boobs

apwilso · 24/10/2020 12:10

@1992EM words of wisdom! I needed that because otherwise I'd be doing pregnancy tests everyday between now and then👀😂 I have some
Cheap ones if need a be if I crack!

OP posts:
1992EM · 24/10/2020 13:13

@apwilso best idea . Use the cheap ones and leave the expensive ones until AF is due. This is me after 6 months . I would be skint otherwise 🤣

apwilso · 24/10/2020 13:25

@1992EM everything is so expensive and another thing I had is buying stuff when it's not self check out. I get scared hahaa! Don't know why! I've been judged before when I've got tests 🥺

OP posts:
1992EM · 24/10/2020 13:53

@apwilso I just buy it online to avoid that. Amazon do them and it comes in discreet packaging.

EllyNC291 · 24/10/2020 14:03

Can I join ladies! Ttc #2 on cycle one so not overly optimistic but hoping 🤞🏻 Awaiting the phantom symptoms haha as know what i’m like!! 😂 Good luck to all of you!!

1992EM · 24/10/2020 15:32

@EllyNC291 good luck in your cycle. When are you due to test ? X

EllyNC291 · 24/10/2020 16:35

@1992EM I’m going to try and resist I think. I have quite long cycles so don’t think I’ll technically be late until 32 days and I’m on day 21. I do have an amazing opportunity to surprise my husband if we ARE pregnant on Friday tho (so cd 27) so I’m wondering whether to take one then just on the off chance or if it might just be a bit early- think I’d be about 10 or 11 dpo!
How about you?

1992EM · 24/10/2020 16:44

@EllyNC291 10 or 11dpo might give a positive. I am 10 dpo today and due AF on Tuesday. I think I will test tomorrow if I don't back out . Otherwise will wait until Saturday if AF hasn't shown x
