Hi!

I have been TTC this month. I got a flashing smiley face on the clearblue OPKS this morning so all is looking good! I would love to talk to anyone else who is also TTC this month... I am currently driving my husband mad as it's all I can talk about. 😊

Not sure re. Stomach cramps sorry, @MrsRosaline - it's too early for implantation though.

When is everyone's periods due? I'm 2dpo, period is due 23/6/21 🤔

jkm2793 · 11/06/2021 22:46

My periods due 19th. Feels like ages away lolSadxx

newtolineofduty · 11/06/2021 22:50

My last cycle was 32 days but the one before 28 so I really don't know when to test! I'm going to try and hold out until 27th which would be 32 days which is AGES away! 😭😭😭 x

I know it's too early @feliznavidad2 😭 but they are quite strong stomach cramps 🤞🏻 My period is due 22 June. I hope I can wait until then, but I'm definitely symptom spotting!

Sorry @MrsRosaline I was a little terse, didn't mean to be. Spent all of last cycle desperately symptom spotting myself so know the struggle Thanks - I'm currently trying to be cool, calm and err collected (I won't stay like it for long.)

@jkm2793 I'm still waiting for my second surge 😩 back on the flashy smileys!

LittleDoveLove · 12/06/2021 07:16

The first symptom I remember was being super bloated and it never went away! I never had spitting with my first but I did feel pinching which is meant to be a sign of the egg implanting I think that was a about a week before I got my positive x

LittleDoveLove · 12/06/2021 07:17

Spotting not spitting!

feliznavidad2 · 12/06/2021 21:44

Here we go with the symptom spotting. I've got stabby pains in one of my boobs. 😑

newtolineofduty · 12/06/2021 21:52

@LittleDoveLove can you remember how soon after ovulation we're you bloated? I've been SO bloated all week I literally look 16 weeks pregnant! X

newtolineofduty · 12/06/2021 21:53

How many DPO are you @feliznavidad2?

feliznavidad2 · 12/06/2021 22:02

@newtolineofduty Only 3dpo. It's progesterone I think.

LittleDoveLove · 13/06/2021 08:15

@newtolineofduty I think about a week/10days I noticed it mostly. X

LittleDoveLove · 13/06/2021 08:16

Still waiting for my second surge here too 😂 I'm very bloated again which hopefully is a sign for me - I get bloated before peak too x

I was definitely bloated but only after a positive test. My main symptoms last time were really bad fatigue. 5 days before the positive I could hardly get out of bed!

I'm not sure I'd notice the fatigue this time because I am tired all the time running around after DD 😂. I've currently got period like cramps running down my back and my legs. Seems weird... but only 4DPO

Yes last night I had cramping and back ache and weird tingly feelings in my abdomen, like it was warm or something! Only 5dpo though so TRYING not to read too much in to it (unsuccessfully!) x

Last time about five days before my positive test my gums bled and I TOTALLY went off coffee as it tasted like wee! Or at least what I imagine it to taste like! 😂 x

jkm2793 · 13/06/2021 20:41

I know I'm trying not to symptom spot although I do feel any symptoms. Apart from mild cramping on and off but I read that can just be hormones anyway? And stretchy mucus that's it. I'm 6dpo and AF due next Friday so we shall see fingers crossed for us all! Xx

jkm2793 · 13/06/2021 20:42

Although I don't feel any symptoms anyway I mean !

newtolineofduty · 13/06/2021 21:35

I read stretchy mucus is a really good sign @jkm2793 ! Xx do you usually get it at this time in your cycle?! If not that's really positive! X

jkm2793 · 13/06/2021 21:39

I don't really know to be honest maybe I do just not really took much notice? It's not like loads but it's definitely a mix between a tiny bit of tacky cm and then clearish stringy stretchy cm. I feel like symptoms you think are pregnancy related can just be so normal in your cycle anyway can't it xx

feliznavidad2 · 13/06/2021 23:18

I've noticed a small amount of blood tinged CM this eve. Only 4dpo so don't think it can be implantation. 🤨

newtolineofduty · 14/06/2021 07:42

@feliznavidad2 great sign! Maybe you conceived/fertilised very early on ovulation day and therefore maybe you're nearer 6dpo than you think? X

feliznavidad2 · 14/06/2021 07:49

We'll see @newtolineofduty - don't want to get my hopes up but thanks for replying. 😃

How are you feeling?

newtolineofduty · 14/06/2021 09:04

@feliznavidad2 aww it's so difficult isn't it! Well I had really weird tingles and dull ache on sat which will have been 4 but maybe 5dpo and a little bit of mucus but I'm not sure if that's usual for me. I have a gut instinct this isn't my month so feeling pretty chilled to be honest. My period isn't due for AGES (long cycle) so I have ages to wait! We're on hol this week which will be a good distraction! When did you say you're due and when will you test? X

feliznavidad2 · 14/06/2021 10:07

Fingers crossed for you @newtolineofduty - have a lovely holiday, and as you say, good distraction!

My period is due 23rd June, I may test on Sunday as will then be 11dpo but may try and hold out longer - we'll see. x
