Starting the game early this month! 1dpo... nothing yet apart from excitement that I’m trying very hard to tame. I managed to get my first positive ovulation test yesterday so hanging in there for the tww! ❤️ How many dpo are you guys x

Hi @emilyylouise how are you doing?

I’m 3dpo now and not many symptoms as of yet which is to be expected! However, I have got the worst taste in my mouth. It’s like a penny and quite bitter? I’ve brushed my teeth & tongue twice today, eaten, drank and nothing is getting rid of it. Never experienced this before so who knows! I guess it could just be progesterone? X

@Noo3833
Hey!
I took a test at 9DPO but couldn't see anything so I'm now waiting until Sunday when I am 12DPO
Still having cramps and was up for 3 hours last night as they was very intense! I also have the blood/Metallic taste in my mouth 🤢

@Noo3833 it's the waiting that's a killer!!

I keep having really bad cramps and I keep thinking AF is on her way but then I'm not due until the 4th so it's very early to be getting cramps... I also had a meltdown last night as the house was messy 🤣 so my emotions are all over the place 🙈

@emilyylouise it really is a killer! Is this your first cycle or multiple cycles trying? This is my second cycle and it just makes my heart go out to those who have to wait such a long time!

They all sound like great and promising symptoms but they are so sneaky! Just fingers crossed for you x

@Noo3833
This is my second cycle too! 😀 is it for your 1st?
It's all so new to me but I done ovulation tests this month.. I have a period tracker app but turns out I ovulate around a week earlier than my app told me! 🙈

All I keep thinking is that my period is coming as it's so hard to tell what's pms and early pregnancy symptoms 🙈

@emilyylouise ha exactly the same for me! It’s my second cycle trying, but I actually had a chemical last month. We also accidentally got pregnant in July 19 but that ended in a chemical to? Dr isn’t worried about it and says it’s very normal so I’m trying not to worry at all and just treat it each month as it comes! It is for our first ❤️

Last month I had so many symptoms it was insane, particularly the veins in my chest and hands/arms. The first time though I had very little symptoms? So I don’t think there is really a normal any more! It’s all a bit unpredictable xx

@Noo3833

Ahh sorry to hear that 😓
I only came off the pill beginning of November and I was convinced I was pregnant in December! Turns out my body just decided to trick me and not have a period throughout the entire month 🤣 I think it was stress related to be honest...

I just hate this waiting around and thinking ever slight symptom is it 🤣 driving myself nutty! If it doesn't work out for us this month.. think we are going to try the pre seed lube as heard good things!

It’s definitely a weird thing this trying to get pregnant! You spend your whole life trying not to then suddenly you’re excited and it doesn’t just happen necessarily straight away! Bit of a mind game! We will get there whether it’s this cycle or the next few ❤️ I will defo try the pre seed lube ive never even heard of it before! Thanks 😂

Hi everyone 5dpo here, second cycle of ttc number two after a chemical last month.

Anyone been symptom spotting today? xx

emilyylouise · 01/02/2021 21:14

I tested this morning and got a BFN 😓

Going to wait now until my period is missed as could have had a longer cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi all :) nice to see you on this thread! I’m 6dpo so close to you too! Haven’t test yet but recon I’ll cave in the morning! I too had a chemical last month. Not sure if I am this time because I’ve had such little symptoms? A little gassy but not much and tiredness? Last month I had so many symptoms and obviously miscarried? So not an idea of what’s happening I’m afraid xx

Hey, I'm 4dpo and have had mild cramps and strange feelings in my stomach and tonight I couldn't eat my dinner! Kinda had pains last month but then AF showed but this is weird. My oh said it's because I'm thinking about it🙄

Kona84 · 01/02/2021 21:46

I am either 5 or 6dpo
From cd1-3 I was so teary and cried at the silliest things.
Yesterday and today I have some cramps and back ache today. Felt queasy for last two days
The weirdest thing for me is my CM- sorry tmi but I had lotion like cm today I’ve don’t recall seeing this before. I’m normally dry too Cramer sticky leading up to AF. But today globe of lotion like - not quite white like a soft greyish cm.

Hi all! Hope you’re all ok? How is everyone doing with symptom spotting? I’m currently 7dpo and I’m due AF tomorrow!!! No signs of her currently? And very minimal signs of anything really so I’m a bot confused. I’ve got a headache that comes and goes, and I’m a bit more tired than normal but nothing extreme? I tried testing today which I know is too early so obviously a bfn but I couldn’t help myself lol x

@Noo3833 I was briefly pregnant last year and leading up to BFP had zero symptoms to the point I forgot AF was due and didn’t test until 3 days late

I’ve had two chemicals and they made my chest incredibly veiny and they’ve never returned to normal either?! It’s strange how our bodies work x

@Noo3833 are you 8dpo with AF due today? Thats a really short luteal phase. - i thought most were about 12-14 days? x

Original poster
Noo3833 · 04/02/2021 13:19

@Litttlebird unfortunately yes it’s bloody short :( I think it would be 7 days technically? As today af is due? According to my app I was due to ovulate on 20th jan which would have been day 18 of my cycle! I ended up actually ovulating on day 25 of what is on average a 32 day cycle. I’ve had two chemicals and my dr is aware. I’m thinking if it doesn’t work this month or if I have another chemical asking if I can have some progesterone tablets or something because I have a feeling this is my issue xx
