Think we need a new thread as I tried to post on the old thread and it wouldn't let me!! Please tag in anyone else I've missed who may want to join us here!

@Aims1991 oh I hope something is happening in there for you! This evening my left side has strong period pain. Not painful but very noticeable now like a pulling pain. I think AF is going to be early for me. Not due until Monday or Tuesday x

@hoola23 AF due for me in the next 4/5 days. Probably just that. I symptom spot for AF and not a BFP so I'm not let down 🙈

@hoola23 @Aims1991 I'm crossing my fingers for both of you!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I know now that before AF I can an awful lot of wetness down below, nothing thick just very very wet. Never knew that as I never bothered to look.

@hoola23 do you often get that type of weird pulling before AF? Can you tell which side you're ovulating from?

I am DETERMINED to not look at anything past EWCM in the "fertile week"...god this is going to be so hard.

@CShandy01 I get the same really wet feeling before AF, I get that Atleast 2/3 days before it's arrives

@CShandy01 oh I just know I'm not. I actually think AF is going to come4-5 days early to be honest! I have that feeling I feel before it starts already. I don't normally get any pain until the day I start bleeding. I thought I ovulated from my right this month but then it felt like both sides too so god knows! I usually get hardly any cm or if I do it's that thick stuff. I'm just having ewcm. Like proper stuff! And opk has gone high?! I can't deal with more BD if I'm about to ovulate again! My opk are always low after I get a peak

I only ever use opk 2 days after peak and see the line get fainter. I never check again. Should I be?🤔

@Aims1991 no!! I think I do it to satisfy myself for not doing a pg test 🤣 I did one today due to all the ewcm which is not normal for me

@hoola23 wow I wonder if it's related to supposedly being extra fertile after a MC!? x

@hoola23 just wasn't sure if it was worth to keep checking. I have a regular 25/26 day cycle so I've never bothered checking again

@hoola23 I've heard that some people get a high reading on an OPK as an early indication of pregnancy. I'm not sure how accurate that is though! And I'd hate to be wrong and cause upset.

@newtolineofduty do you think? If I'm ovulating again must means I didn't ovulate last week. I really can't be bothered to DTD. I'm just going to wait for AF then start a fresh cycle

@Aims1991 you defo don't need to do anymore once you've got your peak hun. Are you planning to test early? I got a BFP last month at 9 DPO so you could test in a couple of days! Do you think you are?

@hoola23 I would love to say yea I am. But I don't think so. I stopped testing few months ago because I would test in the morning and by the time I got with AF had arrived and it pissed me off

@hoola23 it's rare but I think ovulating twice in a cycle is possible! Your plan sounds good though hun x

Hello ladies!

I hope you don’t mind me joining in. I’m on my ttc #1 and 3 days DPO. I have since felt nauseous every day since and have a strange sensation in my tummy which is very unusual for me. I’m just wondering if it’s possible to see symptoms this early?
Much love x

@Littlelady0 hey! Pretty much impossible at 3dpo. You're not "pregnant" until the blastocyst implants which is roughly 6-12dpo. Most common day is 9dpo apparently. Anything before 6 DPO will just be hormonal or not related. Once the blastocyst is implanted, hcg is produced which is what is detected in pregnancy tests. Hcg is what causes pregnancy symptoms like nausea etc. That's why we all go crazy once we get to about 8-9 DPO as this is when "symptoms" could mean something 🤣🤣

I think we've all had pretty much every single "symptom" there is known and we're still all waiting for a BFP!! Hopefully though, this is your month!! When is your AF due? X

@hoola23 are you going to do anymore OPKS's and see what happens hun? Do you still have lots of EWCM?

@Littlelady0 hoola explained it perfectly. Pregnancy technically only starts in terms of symptoms once implantation happens. And as @hoola23 I think everyone pretty much spends the TWW tracking every single symptom 😂 it's so hard not to! Do you think you'll test early?

@Aims1991 I agree on the whole issue with testing early. The tests are wonderful that people can find out, but equally I think sometimes knowing that early can cause heart ache too.

So @hoola23 when did you ovulate previously this cycle? What day are you on?

@CShandy01 ov was either 26 or 27 sep. had ovulation pain at like 11pm on 26 but still had it in the morning of the 27th which is why I dont really know when I ovulated. Cd 24 today and AF due either Sunday or Monday according to my apps
Yeah still lots of ewcm, not as much as fertile week but very obvious. I'll do another opk tomo and see if it gets darker, if so maybe I'm gearing up to ovulate again as I didn't actually the last time?!

@MrsRosaline I use Viridian prenatals which happen to be vegan and are two small sized capsules. I also take a daily algae-derived omega 3 supplement (DHA/ EPA) - important for the developing brain of the foetus - there are a few brands but I bought 3 for 2 from Vegetology.

@hoola23 folic acid and Vit D are the main ones so your GP is not wrong :) I definitely think the most important thing is to spend the £ on fresh fruit and veggies rather than lots of supplements (apart from folic acid and Vit D of course) if one is making that choice xx

How's everyone doing today?

@CShandy01 hey! One day closer to Friday which is keeping me going! Still bloody ages away from AF!🤣🤣 the period pain I had yesterday seems to have vanished so I'm just playing the really fun game of WAITING! Yawn!

How are you?

Familiar AF cramps are here I think 😭 x

Got some bloating feelings this morning so probs AF getting ready for an appearance over the weekend🙄
