Anyone else feeling the torture?! This is only my first cycle but it took a long time to make the decision after a traumatic experience with DD. Now I’m just anxious to know so I can prepare myself I guess.
Feeling tired but could I hell sleep last night! Didn’t get to sleep until almost 5am and only slept for 3hrs Hmm
Boobs are aching a bit and I’ve had cramp and backache for a few days. App says 6dpo but I do tend to ovulate early from what I remember so could be more than that.
Ordered tests online to make myself wait til they get here before I test. My attempt to try and drag out the time Grin

@CJ2021 yes!!!!! 😄🥳🥳🥳

Potustrumpnomore · 07/01/2021 09:21

Firstly congratulations to cj and also can I join? Lol. AF started 21/12 and ovulation day was the 5th according to my app and next af is due 19th january. Have dtd every day since Xmas day when af finished. I know not to get my hopes up but I'd be so happy for my partner if I could surprise him with a bfp as we have been speaking about trying and agreed to see what would happen and if it did it did. Sending Flowers to penguin so sorry you and your family are going through such awful times:(.

Congratulations @CJ2021 🥳 that's so exciting!

I'm on 4dpo I think going to try and hold out from testing until my period is late, I have a short Luteal phase so will be around the 14/15th which seems ages away!! When do you think you'll test @Potustrumpnomore

ArrrMeHearties · 07/01/2021 14:48

I'm going to hold off until my af is due to test as I tested too early last time and got very downhearted so don't want to do that again

Lottiebugz22 · 07/01/2021 16:13

My period is due 12th January. Did a test today but bfn. Tender boobs and one long cramp today. Not sure what to think really. Not charting temp or opks or anything. Going off fertile cm.

Penguinmumma · 08/01/2021 01:31

@CJ2021 yey!!!! Congrats!! 🎊🎉 how exciting!!
I’m dying to test again but darent after the bfn. My boobs are killing me though which was my first sign last time. Trying to hold off til Sunday maybe. Af due Tuesday or Wednesday.

Farfaraway1 · 08/01/2021 03:59

@Lottiebugz22 might still be a bit early? I’m in very similar boat. Due AF on 13th but my cycle is not very regular.. I’ve got same symptoms, some cramps and very tender / enlarged boobs.. testing again tomorrow morning so fingers crossed 🤞 sending hope to you. Xx

Farfaraway1 · 08/01/2021 04:01

@Penguinmumma my AF due about Wednesday as well..... fingers crossed for us! Xx

Penguinmumma · 08/01/2021 04:17

@Farfaraway1 your braver than me to test tomorrow! Lol. Let us know what comes up! I’m trying to hold off until Sunday but Hubbys now started asking if I could be pregnant as my boobs are so sore.

OP posts:
Farfaraway1 · 08/01/2021 04:25

@Penguinmumma 😂 i don’t feel brave at all 😂 I’m sure it’ll be negative tomorrow, despite the symptoms, but I think knowing earlier helps me to process it.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ X

Penguinmumma · 08/01/2021 05:05

@Farfaraway1 I keep wavering between positive and negative results. Can’t make my mind up. I’ve had cramp since shortly after predicted ovulation, among other things but then think I’m making myself have the symptoms cos I want it so badly 🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
Farfaraway1 · 08/01/2021 05:13

@Penguinmumma yes same here. I’m sure the tests I’ve done have the faintest line which is mostly only picked up when I take a photo and edit the contrast. And I’m not entirely convinced the symptoms I’m having are overall different from PMS symptoms.. I guess only time will tell for us 😣 it’s a bloody hard waiting game though eh..

Penguinmumma · 08/01/2021 05:19

@Farfaraway1 pop pictures up and we’ll have a look too 😊
I’ve been off for a fair few days now. I’d usually get a little cramp the day before af and be a bit snappy but I’ve had cramp for around 6 days now and not felt snappy. A bit sad and weepy but we’ve just lost our aunty so not reading too much into that. Plus the sore boobs.
Apparently I do ovulate earlier than cd14 but not sure exactly when as I don’t use opk’s.

Farfaraway1 · 08/01/2021 05:27

@Penguinmumma aww I’d love to put a pic up but I’m honestly so scared that someone will say they can’t see anything 😓 if there is anything a bit more substantial in the next few days I’ll definitely post a pic though 🥰 xx your symptoms sound really positive!! I have everything crossed for you!! 💖

Penguinmumma · 08/01/2021 06:10

I get it 😊 they are harder to see in a photo but you never know!

My right boob that had a blocked duct when I was bf’ing last time feels like it’s going to explode 😣

OP posts:
CJ2021 · 08/01/2021 13:12

Sending you all love!! Hope you find out soon.

Going to test again tomorrow with a digital test I’ve got leftover and then book a doctors appt! But Nausea has been constant and my nipples already look completely different, so I’m pretty sure it’s happening 😲 Still not trying to getting too excited yet xxx

LAgeDeRaisin · 08/01/2021 14:04

Ahhh so glad I found this thread I feel really stressed. 10DPO with BFN and trying to stop myself doing another test as had BFN this morning and last night. So hard to wait!

Just really want it to be this cycle because of work- I'm a junior doctor and I'm trying to fit it around my training schedule and it's just an extra layer of disappointment.

LAgeDeRaisin · 08/01/2021 14:05

Good luck to everyone!

rosegold33 · 08/01/2021 17:26

Sorry to hear about your aunt. This is such a horrible time and not being able to say goodbye is just terrible x

rosegold33 · 08/01/2021 17:27

Im due Af on 12th, tested today 10 days dpo but bfn

Farfaraway1 · 08/01/2021 18:15

Well I think I’m out this cycle 😓 I was so hoping it would happen this cycle but I’ve tested again this morning and BFN. So gutted. I really thought I was this month. AF not due till Wednesday but I would expect to see even just a faint line by now....

Penguinmumma · 08/01/2021 19:00

@Farfaraway1 same for me 😞 Af due Wednesday and bfn on a first response with fmu. Was so hoping to give hubby some nice news after all the crap.

@rosegold33 sounds like your cycle times are exactly the same as mine. Fingers crossed for you! And thank you. It’s so damn hard. We feel awful that we’re stuck where we are and can’t get back over ☹️

@LAgeDeRaisin fingers crossed! The tww is torture as it is but more so when ti I g is so important!

@CJ2021 everything crossed for you! (Even my legs as it’s not fw! 😂)

OP posts:
Farfaraway1 · 08/01/2021 19:36

@Penguinmumma no!!!! So sorry to hear it. That really surprises me! All your symptoms were looking so promising! 😩😓 I had a little cry to DP about it all this morning. 😔

@LAgeDeRaisin it’s so hard isn’t it - especially when you have other commitments you’re trying to work around.. will you test again or wait to see if AF arrives? All the luck in the world to you xx

Penguinmumma · 08/01/2021 20:06

@Farfaraway1 I know 😣 I know it’s first cycle but I’ve caught first cycle every time previously and I honestly have felt so crappy for days. I feel a bit sicky and my boob pain is soooo bad this morning. Feel like I have pins in my nipples. Especially the side I had the blocked duct on.
I’ve told DH how bad I feel this morning and he’s grabbing tests. I didn’t tell him about the others cos I was trying to surprise him. I warned him that it might be too early & it might just be new pms symptoms just so he doesn’t get too excited/stressed.

OP posts:
LAgeDeRaisin · 08/01/2021 21:17

@Farfaraway1 I know I shouldn't but I'll probably just keep testing til AF comes on Wed. Good luck too! Seems we both have Wednesday looming!

Fingers crossed for us all. Wine in stock for Wednesday night in case it all goes to pot!
