Please add anybody I've missed off!

Hey everyone, I’m currently 7dpo and not sure if what I’m experiencing are really early pregnancy symptoms? I’ve had a few pinching sensations on my lower abdomen to the right, almost like small pulling sensations and I never usually get anything like that. I’ve also been feeling a bit out of breath for no reason at times and when I was brushing my teeth my gums were bleeding which has never happened to me before! Not sure if I’m just symptom spotting here 😂

@Chloerobinson97 I want to say it sounds super promising but ultimately I've had all of those before, got my hopes up and then got a BFN... Pinching/pulling sensations, lightning crotch etc. My cruellest one was a nosebleed (@Ttcin2021 !) which really got me excited seeing as I never ever get them otherwise.

@Juno231 yeah I just really don’t want to get my hopes up! I’m just going to try and chill out for the next week until I test, but easier said than done!

Hi everyone I seem to be MIA for ages at a time and miss sooo much!!

How are you all??

For any that remember my faint lines went negative THEN had a blood test that surprising (not) came back negative. Two weeks later I ovulated (yay!) although still not bleed and now 6dpo...had a really vivid dream about getting a positive test so had to resist the urge this morning as definitely too early 😂🙈

Also here is my chart just because 😂 no idea what it's doing!

I'm going to reply to as much as I can before my little one wakes up 😂🙈

@Ttcin2021 congratulations!!! There's no denying that's a line 😍

@ChinChilly sorry you've had a rough few months 🤞🏻 you're more fertile after a cp 🤞🏻

@TheHotelCalifornia enjoy 🥳 🤞🏻

@Sperr sounds like it's happened ☺️🤞🏻also love the clothing choice only need to dress up what they can see 😂 although I agree I miss dressing up I've spent a year looking like I have 1 outfit and don't know what makeup is and hair in a bun everyday 😂

@Chloerobinson97 🤞🏻 for you! I'm a day behind you ☺️

@Juno231 it is cruel that the symptoms can be so similar and I'm sure our bodies do it to torment us 😩

@Sperr really hope it was ovulation!! That's how I do all my meetings now 😂 had 2 customer video calls today looking smart on top with pj bottoms on!

Currently 5th day of flashing smileys for me 😩 just want a peak! Currently cd20 so hoping O will be at the weekend

@Juno231 I really am... good old frer. Got a clear blue digital but not sure when to do that.... maybe the weekend!

@firsttimemummy321 I’m with you on the bun! I might treat myself to straightening my hair this weekend! The plus side of not having to wear make up every day is my skin has gone really nice!

@Flowers222 I get about 5 flashing smilies before I get my peak! They start to annoy me 😂

Happy Thursday ladies! Some light hearted relief, took my temp this morning and apparently I'm dead... 😂

@sperr sounds like textbook ovulation - woop!

@firsttimemummy321 hopefully your dream is a good sign, and fingers crossed your dip at 5DPO was an early implantation (and not just an Estrogen surge)!

I'm CD11 and certainly not expecting anything to happen (only finished my period on CD9 lol) ... then I got 71% on an OPK! Inntterrressssstinnggg!! I might test again later and persuade OH to get jiggy before we go our separate ways (we both hook up with friends to play games online on a Thursday)!

@MissC07 RIP haha!!

@Sperr ha I'm the same, always in pyjama bottoms but with a dress in top! The human version of a mullet, business up top (lounge) party down below 😂 🤞 for you!

@kay00 ah gaming thursdays sound the bomb. 71% go you! That's really high if you are using femometer strips.

@Juno231 yeah, its a bit of a surprise, hopefully it leads to an ovulation! But with my history of multiple failed attempts within a month I'm not getting too excited... i'll just make sure we cover our bases (if you get my gist )

And yes, they are the bomb! I live for Thursday's

@MissC07

Happy Thursday ladies! Some light hearted relief, took my temp this morning and apparently I'm dead... 😂

Omg this is exactly the post I needed right now! Thank you for making me laugh out loud!!

It's been ages since I've been here. I was trying the whole relaxed approach which didn't work this month... CD4 now. Onto my sixth cycle and I'm really starting to feel it now. Everyone around me and on tv feels pregnant too, which I am finding particularly difficult at the moment. It feels very silly really.

How is everyone doing?

@Flowers222 🤞🏻 it's soon :)

@Ttcin2021 with that strong a line I'd guess that you would get it to show now but deffo by the weekend :)

@Sperr i wish mine had but it's still awful 🙈

@MissC07 oh wow that is high 😂

@Kay00 🤞🏻 thank you! Is an Estrogen surge bad? Aw that sounds fun, I'd go for it anyway practice makes perfect right 🥳

@Nellieee it's not silly it's strange when it's someone I'm close to I'm so happy for them but at the same time a little sad that it's not me so I completely get it 💖

@firsttimemummy321 thanks!! It takes you by surprise sometimes. Had a little cry this afternoon after a new announcement. Thank god for this group! I feel like I can't speak to anyone sometimes.

Onwards and upwards 🙃 anyone got any age old tips for naturally increasing progesterone? My cycle was only 24 days last month and I always spot for a day or two before. Still have 12/13 day luteal phases, but I have niggling thoughts...! Also, any B vits in particular to take?

@firsttimemummy321 An Estrogen surge in the LP is perfectly normal and really common. It usually causes a dip in temperature and can cause you to have fertile CM too.

@MissC07 I am very sorry to hear about your untimely death. I hope your DH is understanding and is willing to DTD with a zombie :D

@Nellieee Never feel silly for how you're feeling!! To say this whole journey is a rollercoaster is an understatement especially when there's so many people on social media making announcements . Sending you a virtual hug and positive vibes 💫

@TheDaydreamBelievers Haha it might improve my chances if I was a zombie. Brings a new meaning to DTD - 'doing the dead' 😂

Don't know what's wrong with me this eve but I've been so weepy at the tv. First with 'the dog house' and then 'Drag Race'! Thank god it's Friday tomorrow!!!

So I’m CD11 today and got a flashing smiley but my OPKs are barely visible however due to being so busy at work I missed my most important/longest hold in the afternoon..... not getting my hopes up that I will ovulate and haven’t BD yet but will plan to get some in over the weekend.

Also got an electronic letter from my endocrinologist consultant and she wants me to have an ultrasound on my thyroid so that’s booked for 1st April. Due thyroid blood tests on day 3 of AF as testing fertility hormones too which if I have a 30 day cycle this month isn’t due until 7th April or somewhere near there. After blood tests I can start my thyroid meds.

Better news is that we viewed a house on Saturday after accepting an offer on ours the previous weekend and it’s been accepted! I hope by the summer we are in our new place!

Sorry ladies I've been down a uni assignment hole since Tuesday night. The end is in sight 🤞🏻

Not heard about scan yet from hospital but did get confirmation today of COVID vaccine appt 🎉

CD25 here so will see if AF comes to visit. I've had very very light spotting on & off since Tuesday. Did POAS but it came up stark white. If flow does come my luteal phase this month will have only been 8 days 😞

Have a good Friday and hope the weekend is kind to you all too! Back down the uni assignment hole tomorrow night and over the weekend ✨ ❤️

@Sperr fingered cross you’ve ovulated 😀

@MissC07 that temp 😱😂

@Kay00 that’s a strong OPK! I’ve got everything crossed for you.

@mrsmacmc hope AF holds off 🤞🏻

@Moocher90 great news about the house and flashing smiley! Also hoping for ovulation for you!

@Gracie2021 thank you! Yeah it’s disappointing but I made it to 12dpo this cycle which has only happened once one other month so that’s something. Cycle 12 though 😩 it’s hard to think it’ll ever happen but just have to hope it will I suppose. DH has his SA today so that’s something.

I know some of you have tried moon cups. Anyone tried the ferti.lily cup? Wondering if that’s something I should waste my money on this month 😂

Chart advice again ladies! I'm still confused by O date which means no idea if I'm 7dpo, 8dpo or 10dpo. After swearing I wouldn't test prior to AF after last month I'm now having to literally sit on my hands to stop myself POAS! But really don't want to test super early as it will defo be BFN and just upset me. Also no idea when to expect AF which is difficult.
Quick vote, who would you side with?
Me - delusionally hopeful I am 10dpo
FF - 9dpo (changed its mind recently and moved O date back a day)
Ovusense - 7dpo

Trying to control my emotions this month as I really dont feel pregnant in any way. Boobs are not even tender. And nose a bit runny so may be getting a cold which would explain the higher temp this morning

@Cams50 I tried a mooncup but felt they were too 'deep' so wouldn't help the sperm meet cervix. Also worried I was trapping all the little swimmers outside the cervix haha. That's probably me being paranoid though!

@Moocher90 great news about the house! Buying houses are so stressful

@Kay00 oooh fingers crossed for O!!!

@abi555 I'm siding with you in thinking you're 10dpo! Your chart is looking good too 🤞 x

@Nellieee 💕

@Kay00 ah thank you :)

@MissC07 aww I'm with you there, it's Friday! :)

@Moocher90 🤞🏻 all goes ok :) that's exciting about the house :)

@mrsmacmc good luck I know the uni feeling 🙈
🤞🏻 it's not af how many dpo are you?

@Cams50 I've not heard of it but I'm sure I've seen a group on here with that name so might be worth having a look? :)

@abi555 it's hard to tell as your temp did rise so looks like ff has the crosshairs in the right place but those first 3 temps are similar to the temps earlier in the months so could be 7 🙈 sorry! I'm hoping you're 10 though!! 🤞🏻
