CD1...again

[hels301990]

Hi everyone, just looking to see if anyone is just starting the next cycle and want to journey along together? We are TTC baby no.1 and this will be the 5th month of trying but 4th of actively using OPKs etc. After 2 months of being convinced we'd got pregnant and then AF arriving both times I'm getting a bit disheartened (and I am more than aware that it's really early days compared to most but it's just how it feels to me - can't seem to shake off the "something must be wrong feeling" even though you know it's probably fine) anyone trying anything new or different this month? Sending baby dust vibes to all!

Just thought I’d add that it’s still worth doing the deed in the tww just incase! Xx

@hels301990 think I’m going to wait until I’m due on or at least a few days before, then higher chance of seeing a line if I am pregnant. Think it upsets me more seeing nothing so to think I’ve seen a line but there potentially be nothing would be worse 🙈

@katiemumma20 yes I think you're right but might just take it down a notch or two lol

@hels301990 haha definitely! Think we all run out of steam by the two week wait! 😂

Tell me you're in the 2 week wait without telling me you're in the 2 week wait...I'll go first. I'm eating pineapple, drinking pomegranate juice and trying to keep my feet warm 🙈😂

@hels301990 😂 I’ve not heard of those, is it meant to help implantation?!

I’m 2dpo today.. this is gonna drag!!

Supposedly lol all stuff I've read on here and figured it can't hurt lol 4DPO here...seems to be a lifetime to go to AF (or hopefully not AF as the case is)

How’s everyone doing? I’m 5dpo today and feeling very dizzy!

I am 4DPO and have been a bit more on and off crampy than previous but normally my boobs hurt by now and they aren't. No other symptoms. Trying not to get my hopes up. Decided I am not going to test early this month.

@Loops01 think I’m going to try and hold out testing too 🙈

My boobs always used to hurt badly after ov but ever since my Dec cycle they haven’t hurt at all, very strange 🤷🏼‍♀️ I had covid at Xmas so wonder if that’s messed things up a bit?!

Oh maybe? Strange. I haven't had covid as far as I am aware and no real symptoms but it would be interesting to see how or if it really affects fertility/ttc. Last month I thought I was pregnant as boobs were so sore, had loads of cramps and metallic taste but nope! So I don't hold out for early symptoms anymore. Shame how it takes the fun/excitement out of things after trying but not happening

@Loops01 it’s so hard isn’t it when you notice everything that’s probably normal anyway 😩

It's devastating but I guess just got to keep trying! Roller-coaster of emotions within 4 wks!

Hi, how is everyone feeling? I have not posted for a few weeks because I was trying not to think about it all 😂 I am 11dpo, I think my breasts feel a bit tingly but that is all. AF due Monday so will see!

I am 7DPO and I have had a lot of mild cramps, mainly to my left side but it quite constant, otherwise no symptoms. Trying not to overthink it all but it is difficult. My breasts normally hurt by now but they aren't so I'm a bit confused. My AF is due on mother's day .

I had cramps around that time too and some brown/pink ish spotting but not looking into it too much. It’s so confusing every month isn’t it when different symptoms appear. That’s not a nice day for AF but let’s hope it doesn’t arrive 🤞🏻

Yeah I feel like I get different symptoms every month. Probably just imagining them all. Spotting sounds positive though. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone

I've just started spotting (when I wiped after going to the toilet). AF due Monday so of course everything crossed it's implantation (I'm 9/10dpo) even though you know it's just period starting a bit early 🙄🙄🙄

I’m 8dpo today and caved and did an ic this morning 🙈 was bfn of course as too early! My boobs feel heavy this month which I’ve not had for a while, and tired but I’m always tired lol!

@hels301990 got my fingers crossed it’s not early af!

@hels301990 oh hopefully it's an implantation bleed only! AF is a bitch.

@Bellesjp haha very early test! I've told myself I'm not taking any early ones. Probably because it will just get me even more depressed and upset.

@Loops01 I don’t usually cave but keep seeing people talk about testing on here and caved 😂

Oh yeah so easily done! I normally do it too. Actually I caved ovulation tests this month and started waaaay early as I know some people who ovulate early. Wasted 10 tests before I ovulated! Had to get a second kit. No1 tells you how expensive it is to ttc!!

I can’t have pregnancy tests in the house otherwise I just use them all too early 🤦‍♀️ Fingers crossed for you all too 🤞🏻Get through the weekend for me and will then find out.

Woke up this morning with full flow. So that's 2 days early giving me a random short cycle and another unsuccessful month. I know I'm early on in the grand scheme of things but it's still rubbish :-(

@hels301990 so sorry to hear this 😢 it’s a horrible feeling each month. Sending hugs! Xx
