@SBeeches

How are we all feeling today? I'm feeling quite irritable which is a classic pms symptom 😩 but seems a little early for it.. I read that around this time estrogen drops whether you're pregnant or not and that does bring on mood swings - nature is cruel you can't figure anything out 😂
Hiya

A bit rubbish to be honest feeling quite sicky today. Husband making a good roast though so looking forward to that! Smile
I never have pms symptoms as I have to induce mine so I'm wondering if this is the feeling of pms instead!
Do you get pms symptoms around the same time normally?
How was your evening last night x

Stupidly tested super early last night at 7DPO, there was the faintest line there, so tried again at 8DPO a bit less faint, both FRERs. I've never had a vvvvvvfl or indent on a FRER they've always been stark white for me. But then I looked at an unused one and there was a indent, so now I'm not sure. Told myself I'd test again in a couple days, but I doubt I'll be able to hold off that long.

Only reason I tested so early was because I'd had a couple days of sore nipples, constant headache, fatigue and snot like cm.

Hey. Hope you don't mind me joining - I think I'm exactly the same DPO! 6 DPO today. So would be nice to wait out the 2WW with others!

I've been feeling really tired today, and Friday, but way to early to be anything. Other than that I'm feeling normal. I'm on cycle #9 so hoping it's my month, but absolutely not holding out for it! AF is due around 5th July so was thinking of testing on Friday (2nd), when I'll be 11DPO. Although, I'll probably end up testing at 9DPO haha. I've got some FRER and CB early ones....

Really interesting to hear about the aspirin. I read that on another thread recently. Do you take 75mg per day throughout your entire cycle? If nothing happens this cycle I might give that a go...

I tried evening primrose oil this month, taking from CD1 up until ovulation. Apparently it helps with CM.

Lebe14 · 27/06/2021 17:06

@Lalala1985 that's sounding promising! Have you tested again? I saw someone on here recently with a really faint line which looked similar to an indent but got stronger as the days went on! Fingers crossed x

SBeeches · 27/06/2021 17:09

Oh no is there anything you know triggering the sickness? Roast sounds delicious enjoy! I usually get pms symptoms around a week before my period, I started logging my symptoms on my fitbit app so can see the patterns, so this pms feeling right now is early. Who knows though, probably another BFN on the way again!! I had a lovely evening thank you, only drank two glasses of white wine the whole evening, husband was hungover all morning! How was your day with your sister in law? X

No just having an off day I think. Ooo that sounds good. I've got some nice rose to go with roast so going to treat to a glass :)

Oh dear, they never learn with hangovers lol

Yeah it was lovely thank you, spent most of the time playing with my niece she's just turned 7 months and just the sweetest little girly! X

Welcome abroad, of course you're welcome to join, it's nice to speak to others on the same boat. Wish you good news this month, I'm symptom spotting just as much as you by the sound of it 😅 I started taking the baby aspirin one day after ovulation, no particular reason other than the fact I read it online - apparently it improved results when commenced at the time of ovulation and in other cases around the time of implantation (days 6-12). I opted not to take it everyday throughout my cycle in case I get any side effects. I was thinking of trying primrose but ended up using fertility lubricant instead.. Maybe I should try both next time :-)
Lebe14 · 27/06/2021 19:16

@lol2015 @SBeeches thanks for having me!

I might give the aspirin a go next cycle. From ovulation until AF arrives I guess? I'll try anything! Really dreading hitting the 12 month mark and having to go to my GP. But needs must! Will keep you updated on my journey. Love hearing others journeys too! Hopefully we'll get some BFPs this month x

Yes definitely keep us updated :-) I find this chat such a good outlet and it spares my husband having to hear my endless theories about what may be happening 😂 Fingers crossed to us. I went to my GP 3 months before my 12 month mark, after the miscarriage last year and now 11 months of negatives I thought I deserved some answers - we all do ❤️ just a heads up the GP process takes time in itself as they will take bloods from you, semen from your partner, even if they are normal they'll refer you to the fertility clinic and that was the longest wait for me probably around 3 ish months in total before I was offered an appointment ahead of time (July, finally), they had a back lock of referrals due to covid. Might be worth considering getting the ball rolling as it can always be cancelled along the way if you get good news :-)

I did with both an Easy@home and a FRER. FRER was basically the same as this morning, and Easy at home negative. I'm only 8DPO so I still have another 3ish days ( LP is about 11-12 days), plenty of time! Trying to be positive as difficult as it can be with TTC.

@SBeeches thanks so much for the info on the GP - I have no idea what any of it would entail so that's really useful. Can't believe it takes that long - maybe I do need to get in touch with them soon.... will be 12 months in November. I'm also really sorry to hear about your miscarriage - must've been really tough. This TTC thing is mentally hard work!!

@Lalala1985 fingers crossed for you over the next couple of days!!

I felt pretty tired again getting up this morning and actually ate breakfast as I was hungry. I never normally eat it! But again, way too early for any pregnancy symptoms as only 7DPO x

No problem at all! My nearest hospital is Kingston in London so if you live somewhere less busy maybe it's a little bit better. You still have plenty of time if it's 12 months in Nov :-) thank you, the miscarriage was definitely hard but I'm finding this TTC harder in so many other ways! I'm also 7 DPO on the dot worked it out again today.

Morning Everyone

How is everyone today?

Morning lovely! Im feeling hopeful today. My boobs are starting to feel heavier and more sensitive but this is also a pms symptom.. But I know it was also an early pregnancy symptom for me in the past. I remember it got more and more painful though never thought I'd wish myself pain but I do bring it on!!! How you feeling today?
lol2015 · 28/06/2021 18:01

Ah no! It's so awful waiting 2 weeks plus to find out it should be instant lol or even the next day haha

Yeah okish today still a little sicky feeling and tired. Book a have decided to weigh about a ton each so that's been helpful Grin

Started worrying about going back to work next week so panic attacks have started to come back which isn't nice. Trying to relax tonight though and think about something else. Many plans for this evening anyone?

Can I join? I’m around 2 dpo? I’ve not been tracking ovulation but I know it was between 26th-28th. I’ve been having some cramps on 27th and 28th and boobs very sore! I DTD on 26th (Saturday). 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Hoping I didn’t miss it and there’s lots of strong swimmers. Hoping to get a baby girl as I have a 3yo son ☺️ I hate the 2ww, baby dust to you all 💞

BritInNZ · 29/06/2021 04:58

AF due a week today and starting to get my usual PMS symptoms, no surprise there (still hurting nonetheless).

I have a question - does everyone here get EWCM? I don't and now I'm wondering whether that might be contributing to me struggling to get pregnant. I've read on Google it's not always EW, can be watery, but wanting to know what everyone else experiences. I do notice more CM which is what I'd consider a bit more watery around time of ovulation but I don't know if that's 'fertile' CM?

Hey! I think I only have the EWCM for one day and even then it's not very much. I think it depends on a number of factors, I'm 33 so I know my fertile CM window is a lot shorter compared to my 20s. It's also apparently affected by how hydrated you are too..

Does anyone else use a fitbit? I have been obsessing over my resting heart rate and praying it goes up but it hasn't :( I read on other posts that lots of people notice an increase as the first sign before their BFP. Even though I'm only 7dpo I'm stressing myself out over it already, surprised that hasn't brought it up in itself 😂

I don't have Fitbit but a have Huawei watch and I haven't seen a pattern. Other than last cycle I got really confused as my RHR dropped by 10bpm for the entirety of the LP!

I forgot to add - have you tried using fertility lube? I read that there is naturally more mucus closer to your cervix area so sperm can sometimes do with a boost there with some lube - apparently the vagina is the place most sperm die as its a hostile environment, obviously in an ideal situation there's loads of cervial mucus in the vag but sometimes there isn't!
Trinxsy · 29/06/2021 19:38

Popping back in again at 5dpo now...CM driving me crazy. Had absolutely loads for about 3 days, went dry, got more EWCM and now there'd absolutely loads of it again. It's been going for about 9 days now!! Confused 😕

BritInNZ · 29/06/2021 19:54

@SBeeches I'm only 28 so I'd still expect some. I'm going to try evening primrose next month alongside the preseed lube too ☺️ thank you!
