Hey! I’d love to join if possible! I’m currently 7DPO and have just had the worst nights sleep. Insomnia!
Here is my day by day:

2dpo - heartburn (which I never experience) and nausea
3dpo - heartburn
4dpo - dull cramping
5dpo - dull cramping
6dpo - nausea so bad I didn’t want to eat

I know a lot of this could be related to progesterone but it seems different to my usual cycles.

@Robss i stupidly took a frer this morning, wasnt even first pee and its negative and i am gutted. Feel like af is going to show up at any moment and it will be 4 days early. Only off the pill since Dec and so far my cycles have been 42, 42 and 34 so i guess the positive on it showing up earlier than 34 means i am becoming more and more regular rather than thinking i had irregular periods my whole life (went on pill at 18 when periods were painful and irregulr and only came off it at 30) xx

Robss · 19/05/2021 09:11

@CTMcG aww I’m trying my best to hold off until Sunday. I think AF due around Tue but maybe be later. This is my first cycle off the mirena and I know it can take sometime for your cycle to normalise.

That’s a positive sign that it may be getting a bit more regular which should help with ttc but still hopefully you get surprised.

CTMcG · 19/05/2021 09:13

@Robss this is only my first month ttc#1 and if af comes early probably means i missed ovulation. Literally only 2 weeks today since we started ttc so i really cant be sad about it lol xx

Robss · 19/05/2021 09:14

@Mum233 that’s annoying are you going to try another in a couple of days? AF due around Tuesday for me and trying to hold off as long as possible, tests are so expensive.

Robss · 19/05/2021 09:18

@CTMcG are you using one of those ovulation test. I did because I got my coil and have no idea what my cycle is like haha. I know it’s very unlikely we will get lucky this month but I’ve given myself 3 months before I agree to surgery for my endo, so i’m hoping I get lucky haha.

Ames94 · 19/05/2021 09:19

Hi girls!
Im roughly around 8dpo (according to the average calculations).
Symptom wise i had one big cramp lasting a few mins (assumed to be ovulation).
Today headaches on waking but also noticed my uterus area has been bulging over last few days, anyone else had this or is it me making things up?
Its usually very flat.

tiffanyarchiebump · 19/05/2021 09:23

I'm around 6/7dpo and I have never felt so nauseous as I do this morning 🙃 don't want to symptom spot but 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Youholdyourpower · 19/05/2021 09:49

@tiffanyarchiebump I felt really nauseous last night - i'm currently 7dpo. I'm trying not to symptom spot too but it's so hard.

Ames94 · 19/05/2021 10:03

@tiffanyarchiebump @Youholdyourpower
I told myself i wouldnt symptom spot and what happens happens in its own time. But its so difficult isnt it.

tiffanyarchiebump · 19/05/2021 10:12

It's sooo difficult to not. I know when I am pregnant as had recurrent MC so I know I can get there just if it's viable. Hoping this is all of our months ❤️❤️❤️

LifesAnItch · 19/05/2021 10:13

@orchardmuma

Hi *@LifesAnItch* that makes me feel a lot more hopeful, thanks! I also have PCOS, was on yasmin, as the acne was extreme, but I’ve been doing fine since stopping. I am doing OPK’s yeah. I got a positive on 9th May, so I assume now I’m around 7/8 dpo.

I was thinking about getting some first response tests to test around 9/10dpo. I have HCG trip tests here but I’m not sure they’d pick anything up

FX for you 🤞🏼 Xx

I'm the same, I think I'm 8dpo today so going to test with a FRER on Friday (10dpo).

I've had EWCM on and off since O but this morning I had loads! I used an IC OPK just to check but the second line was faint so not sure what's happening there. I usually only get EWCM for a few days around O time and then it turns creamy/sticky as I approach AF.

I'm keeping everything crossed for you! Looking forward to seeing everyone's squinters and blazers x

Can I join? I'm 6 or 7dpo I think. Didn't OPK as we've been trying for well over a year now and I'm trying not to get too caught up in it all.

Feeling quite crampy but have done since ovulation this month.

CTMcG · 19/05/2021 10:28

@Robss no i havent tracked ovulation as i have pcos and wanted to try for a few months first being relaxed about it (ha - relaxed😂😂) if i dont fall pregnant next month il start tracking in July x

Youholdyourpower · 19/05/2021 10:35

@tiffanyarchiebump @Ames94
So difficult! Just tried having some coco pops and literally tasted like it was watered down. Not sure if that’s a sign.. haven’t had any metallic taste yet which I have been reading is a thing!

Robss · 19/05/2021 10:38

@CTMcG haha exactly, I was like we will just be mindful of things like ovulation but I’m gonna try not get wrapped up in it all and hope for the best. That’s lasted like one day.

@Youholdyourpower is heartburn a common thing. I had heartburn the past 2 days and I never get it and my diet hasn’t changed recently. I tried to google but couldn’t see anything about early signs. Again think my brain is just trying to see things that don’t mean anything.
Youholdyourpower · 19/05/2021 10:46

@Robss I have no idea! I’m in the same boat as you, never had it before so for me it was very strange! Me too.. feeling things that maybe aren’t really anything.
When do you plan on testing? I’m thinking to maybe on the weekend when I’m 10/11 dpo

Omg I have the heartburn thing too!! I never get it either. Nothing changed diet wise too. So weird we are all experiencing the same symptoms we haven't before lol xx

Robss · 19/05/2021 11:53

@Youholdyourpower yeh I think I’m probably going to hold off until the weekend, maybe Sunday morning. AF could be due Tuesday but could also be sightly later that week so want to try and not do it earlier.

@tiffanyarchiebump yes it’s so strange isn’t what are the chances haha

@Robss @tiffanyarchiebump

My AF is due next Thursday so I think Sunday will be a good day, I'm keeping an eye out for any bleeding (I know it's still early) but just in case! Fingers crossed for all of you TCC!

Such a stressful 2WW, and as a mental health professional my anxiety has sky rocketed in the past week, I've not helped the matter! So stressful not knowing!

Ames94 · 19/05/2021 12:17

@youholdyourpower agreed being a health care professional is not helping anxiety right now and all common sense goes out the window.

birdbybird · 19/05/2021 13:54

Question, can I expect to get a faint line on a non-frer at 9 or 10 dpo? Or do I need to buy a frer? I have a Covid jab on 10 dpo and was curious to know before it.

Ames94 · 19/05/2021 15:17

@birdbybird have a look how many mIU/ml it will test positive at. Iv found some say 10mIU/ml others 25.
So the 10 ones i assume would show up a faint line sooner.
Also on the covid jab side of things they have advised it in pregnancy now (i know not everyone would want it still).

LifesAnItch · 19/05/2021 15:25

@birdbybird personally, I'd test with a FRER. They are sensitive to 6mlu. I tested positive on one at 9dpo but didn't get so much as a squinters on a 10mlu OneStep strip test until about a week later x
