Hi ladies
Didn't manage last night or this morning so will dtd tonight got terrible ovulation pains

May2311 · 09/04/2021 18:17

@LoopeyK good luck! Fingers crossed you have caught it this month. Now for the dreaded TWW 🤪 xxx

dunkedbiscuit · 10/04/2021 09:50

How is everyone doing? 6 dpo here and time is draaaaging..

LoopeyK · 10/04/2021 10:11

Well hubby fell asleep so didn't manage to dtd around the static smiley but did dtd the night before so hoping that is enough, now the tww but I'm not hopeful

Jellybean023 · 10/04/2021 11:27

I think I’m 4 DPO. I hate this bit. Not hopeful after getting my hopes up last month and then being let down but we’ll see.

LoopeyK · 10/04/2021 11:58

I'm never hopeful as it's just taking too long for us this time around, very deflating every month I won't lie, I'm only 2dpo I think

DinkyGT · 11/04/2021 12:47

Hi ladies!
So nice to hear updates from you! @May2311 glad to hear things are progressing nicely for you and @mamaatthegym 🥰
I'm CD11 currently and I'm on day 5 of flashing smiley! Is this usual?? My temperature rose slightly this morning but still not thinking Ov has happened yet but seems like a long time for 'high' fertility.
Tried doing SMEP this month but DP keeps nodding off early 😂
Hoping you're all ok xx

May2311 · 11/04/2021 13:05

@DinkyGT I had 6 days high until I got my static on day 7! We tried SMEP with our first but it's very hard going 🤣 as long as you semi stick with it hopefully you will be fine! Xxx

dunkedbiscuit · 11/04/2021 13:39

Hi @DinkyGT I normally get my static smiley CD12 so depending on your cycle length it maybe too early yet? I think I had 4 days of flashings first. Feels like we're forever waiting for things doesn't it!

SMEP is exhausting, tell DH to get some daytime naps in 😂

Jellybean023 · 11/04/2021 14:48

@DinkyGT like others I also had 6 days of flashing smileys before my static - seems to be completely normal. So far I’ve only had a blank on the first day of testing each month (which apparently you always get) then straight to flashing. I’m not sure what that tells me!

DinkyGT · 11/04/2021 18:22

Thanks all! That's good to know! As I've had shorter cycles more recently (24-26 days rather than my previous regular 28 days) I started testing on day 6 as advised in the instructions. 'Usually' expect Ov around CD13 so I'm also on the DTD as much as poss bandwagon 😂
Gave DP asparagus tonight for dinner to get him in the mood 😂😂 I've told him NO excuses! I'm really hoping this is my month 🤞🏻and I'm hoping to have you lovely lot to share a BFP with too! Xxxx

LoopeyK · 13/04/2021 13:32

Hi all
How many do are you now?
I'm 5dpo and I've had twinges in my lower abdomen on and off all day, never felt this before not sure what it is or a sign of, vet unusual!

dunkedbiscuit · 14/04/2021 07:37

Hi @LoopeyK ooo that sounds like it could be promising!

I'm 10 dpo but really trying not to test until AF due date on Saturday. I keep having crazy dreams and have felt a bit run down, but no other symptoms. Wishing the days away!

LoopeyK · 14/04/2021 07:58

@dunkedbiscuit oooh fingers crossed not much longer to wait for you

It's wierd never had twinges before, fingers crossed x

mamaatthegym · 14/04/2021 16:52

Fingers crossed for you @LoopeyK @dunkedbiscuit

I’ve been quiet because I’ve been floored with morning sickness...forgot how bad it was! Just got back from Docs and got some prochlorperazine so fingers crossed it’ll take the edge off.

@Mybobowler how are you getting on my love?

dunkedbiscuit · 15/04/2021 14:35

Oh no @mamaatthegym sorry to hear that! I hope the meds kick in soon x

Cantthinkofaname99 · 15/04/2021 18:05

Fingers crossed for all those in TWW.

@mamaatthegym oh no that morning sickness sound horrible, fingers crossed meds work.

I've been trying to keep busy and distracting myself from this. I think I'm about 3dpo, but to be honest I just want my wait for af to be longer than a week, at least that would be some kind of progress!

LoopeyK · 15/04/2021 19:11

Hi all
I'm 7dpo I've got really tender breasts today, twinges yesterday, af due 24th

May2311 · 16/04/2021 06:35

Morning ladies,

@LoopeyK do you usually have those symptoms? If not that's hopeful!

@Cantthinkofaname99 fingers crossed AF is longer than a week for you( even better if it doesn't show and BFP instead!)

@mamaatthegym ah the sickness is awful. So far I've just felt extremely nauseous ( mainly in afternoons!) it was the same with my first. Glad you have got something- is it working?

How's everyone else doing?

Xxx

dunkedbiscuit · 16/04/2021 12:37

Well I think that's me probably out, 12 dpo and BFN this morning. Feeling a bit gutted but treated myself to a takeaway latte and have some wine in the fridge for the weekend.

Is anyone else testing over the weekend? @Jellybean023 were you doing another test?

Jellybean023 · 16/04/2021 12:52

@dunkedbiscuit I’m 10 DPO today but not going to test till after Wednesday when AF is due. I’m not hopeful as had no symptoms but you never know - last month I definitely felt symptoms and then negative so I’m trying not to think about it too much!

LoopeyK · 16/04/2021 17:03

Get sore boots but usually only a couple of days before af, never had twinges though
I never had symptoms with my first so don't rule out yet

Nobeautysleep · 16/04/2021 20:47

Sorry for the radio silence from me. Had a few days off work so been decorating and spring cleaning! Just trying to catch up on these messages.

@mamaatthegym sorry to hear about your morning sickness, hope the meds take the edge off

@dunkedbiscuit hope you’re doing OK. Are you sure you ovulated on time? If you ovulated late you might have a bit more of a wait

@LoopeyK sounds promising, fingers crossed you get a BFP this month!

@Jellybean023 will you wait till Wed to test or test early?

@Cantthinkofaname99 when will you test?

Sorry if I’ve missed anyone and not mentioned them, its hard to catch up after a week off the thread!!

I had my bloods back today, all normal except the vitamin D one isn’t back yet. So doctor is blaming the fact that I’ve been breastfeeding. Looks like I’ll have to cut that down!

DinkyGT · 17/04/2021 11:14

Morning all!
I'm 5DPO today and have sore boobs, occasional twinges. I know it's too early to tell anything but I am an obsessive symptom spotter 😂 I think I ovulated as usual - I got static smiley and CM was EW but my temps have risen really really slowly so I'm not sure if that is a bad sign - could be low progesterone.
Keeping positive anyway! Anyone else temp?
Hope this weekend is positive for those testing or trying xxx
