@Lollipop25 thanks for the add hun xx

@amyannx just really want to follow your journey, gives hope to the rest of us 😁

@Lollipop25 Thanks for the tag ☺️ xx

@Lollipop25 thank you hun, yeah it really does will keep you updated regular with anything new that happens x

Thanks for the add :)

I think I’m around 7/8 DPO, symptoms I’ve noticed are excessive snacking (especially sweets) and cramps on and off but quite sharp pains that last a few mins at a time, quite sore boobs but only on one side :/

When would you say would be the best day to test, AF would be due around 26/27th

Thanks!

@1stimer16 with my first I somehow held off testing until the day AF was due and got a really strong line. You'll get more accurate results if you wait until the 26/27th.

That being said, I'm feeling really impatient this time around, so I'm really tempted to test early even though I don't think AF is due for another 5 days. Has anyone had cold/flu symptoms as a pregnancy symptom before?

Hi all, I'm ttc too, 9th month since I came off Desogestrel. My cycles have been regularly 24-25 days until last month when it was 29 days. My boobs have been sore for a lot less time for the last few months which I'm wondering is down to drinking much less alcohol (only on 1 drink a fortnight approx, for the first time ever!)
I'm about 7 dpo I think, only symptoms are bloating and some cramping, might be due to bowel issues rather than womb, not sure.

May the fairy dust be with you all Xxxxxxxx

@Eyedontknow ok I’ll try and wait if I can! I woke up with a sore throat and sniffly but I just put it down to my hayfever and took an antihistamine I didn’t know if that could be a symptom. We seem to be a similar DPO?

@1stimer16 I think I’m 7/8dpo and have very similar symptoms tonight! I’m going to try my best and hold out testing (tested today 😂) until the weekend with a frer - that about as long as I can wait!

@sylvie1001 I think we are similar too then! Ha, I’ll wait for you to do yours and see if I should run to the shop to get one as well!

@Lollipop25 thanks for the tag :)

@justwant2beamum thank you! This is my first and cycle #2!

My younger sister is 7 months pregnant so I’m happy our kids will be cousins of similar age (provided it goes well!). I’m already a paranoid mess haha

Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA 🙈

Thanks for starting a new thread though @Lollipop25 ☺️

I’m not 100% sure when my FW is as I’m currently just using some apps. Using OVIA and flo and both say different things 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 But I think it’s around now due to a change in CM but not quite EWCM but still DTD most nights anyway!

Good luck to everyone ☺️

Thanks for the add. Have a tricky situation here - DH has just told me we're meeting friends for lunch on Sunday and I'm really trying not to POAS before Monday! They are all fairly big drinkers so will notice if I'm holding back. Haven't told DH it's possible as had mmc a couple of months ago and don't want to get his hopes up early. Any advice on what to do?!!

Thanks for the new thread. CD3 so started my soy iso. Second cycle trying this and no symptoms at all (no bloating or nausea which I’ve heard you can get) last cycle it brought ovulation forward by 10 days so hoping it can have the same effect. Will update when that happens ☺️

@Willow1982, thank you!! It’s good they’re normal. It’s funny our periods came at the same time but we’re in completely different days. It just shows how it varies. My boobs are really sore today and feel hot to touch. I’m travelling home tomorrow and will find it very hard to not test tomorrow night. Is 6/7 too late to test?

That sounds like a good plan, I felt a bit more relaxed this month - it’s hard though!

Oh aye, dr Google! I’m at it all the time too, just glad that I’ve been distracted for the last couple of days. Fingers crossed for you too! Do you temp? I’ve been doing it this month and find it very interesting! xx

Thanks for the add! 😊 xx

@1stimer16 not sure how many DPO I am. I have irregular cycles and only have been tracking my periods, so according to the app I am due in 5 days, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

I've had a horrible head cold for the last few days, but it is likely just a bug that seems to be going around rather than a pregnancy symptom. I have a friend that I always find irritating the week before my period and I haven't found her irritating yet so maybe that's a hopeful sign??

Last time I felt pregnant and knew/suspected before I took my test, but I haven't really felt that yet, so clearly clutching at straws. I'm really tempted to test early, but I only have one test and don't want to waste it!

@Lollipop25 thanks for adding me xx
@Twochews78 I know, I got my peak this cycle at least 4 days later than last month!! It’s so confusing! Would have been good to have stayed at the same point so we could have talked each other out of testing early!!
I would say it depends on how many dpo you are to test, when I did get my BFP it was about 6pm but I have no idea what dpo that was as wasn’t tracking at all!! So it’s possible I’d say, Good luck for when you do test, I’ll have my fingers firmly crossed for you 🍀
No I havnt done temp before, I wouldn’t know were to start, did it help you a lot this month? Maybe I’ll look into it for next cycle....then there’s me saying I’ll be more relaxed haha!!xx

I had to stop temping for this cycle as I started using a teeth guard for my sleep grinding which made my mouth warmer so temps totally all over the place. Waiting to see if the discharge becomes AF, only time will tell. Suffering sciatica but back issues are normal for me 😒

Hi Ladies!!

Hope you don’t mind me joining your thread : @) .
I am TTC my 1st, came off of contraception in November. Period is due tomorrow. I took a Sainsburies test this afternoon (I know they are so unreliable!)

Going a bit crazy over the result as it look quite blue but it’s much more saturated in one side so my head is telling me it’s most likely an eval line. This pic is also after the time period so it’s darker here than it was initially.

What do you think?!

Oh whoops I forgot to attach photo and can’t work out how I do!! Does anyone know please? X

@TTCjourneyN if you have only just joined you can only post a pic after 48 hours :)

@1stimer16 ohh ok! Thank you x

Joining the new thread! I’m trying to opk test every day this round to try and catch ovulation.

Thanks for starting a new thread 😀 I am 11DPO and did a cheapie preg test and it was negative, had AF type cramp yday morning but then come afternoon / evening went and felt normal.
