Hya all

I am new to mums net. I am currently in my tww and losing hope again for this month. My af is due Friday the 24th. I have no symptoms really! Slight bruised feeling in sides of my boobs, and yesterday and sharp stabbing pains in my pelvic area. That's about it really. Just feel like af will show again and it's not happened again. This was my chart for this month as well and when we dtd

I have felt twinges as well low down coming and going! My boobs still hurt as well atm!!! I tend to notice the niggling when I am sat still. I had thick white cm yesterday and day before as well and don't normally get this after ovulation. The cervical mucus is supposed to dry up I though but when I conceived last month I am sure I had white cm as well. X

Awww @FlyOnTheWall89 don't lose hope. I don't have to have any symptoms at all for it to happen anyway. With my girls I never had any symptoms what so ever and still had a normal af as well but was pregnant x

I'm exactly the same @FlyOnTheWall89. Still very early but nothing telling me either way whether I think I am or not!

All really good signs @rita83!! How many dpo are you now? X

@Cruz86 I fi outlasted last weekend then I would be around 5 or 6dpo. Says if boobs hurt it's a good indicator that you have ovulated apparently!! I just ain't so sure really anymore. I hate the tww!!! Drives me insane.

Not due af til next Saturday 😩 @Cruz86 that's soooo long!!!! I don't feel it is for some reason. Husband said we haven't really dtd that much we only dtd on the 3rd 6th and 8th and said ovulation was the 9th but tbh I don't even know when I ovulated all I know is I had loads of watery cm last week mid week. Where I have been ill as well just haven't really tracked it at all this month! X

That's the same as me. We need to try and keep busy to take our minds off things! It only takes one time to fall pregnant ☺️ x

I am with you there @Cruz86 just need to try and stop thinking about it. I said this to dh but he said ahhh ohhhh I dunno I think we f**d it up this month and I said it only takes the one time and speed can survive for up to 5 days as well. That's the way I am thinking of it anyway to get me through 🤣

@rita83 @Cruz86 I feel exactly the same! It's torture. I'm due AF next Wednesday not tested today no symptoms apart from slight cramps and a queasy feeling x

@Ladylou17 it's horrible isn't it noticing every little twinge cramp pain etc. I know I have definitely felt aching low down again similar to last month but then I keep thinking is the progesterone hormone taking over and causing all of it. My af seems so far away as well and cos I had a chemical last month I am not sure if I ovulated two weeks after the bleeding or not cos my af was technically only a day out. Dr said to count it as cycle day one x

OP posts:
Ladylou17 · 14/10/2021 14:46

@rita83 yes I would count as cycle d1. I'm sorry you went through that. I know I'm trying to keep myself occupied but it's so hard x

Cruz86 · 14/10/2021 15:01

That's what makes it more annoying - because progesterone is responsible for PMS and pregnancy symptoms 😩 x

I know right so we cannot tell either way. Well if it makes it any easier I had a full period type pain 4 days before my af was due last month and it kept coming and going on and off for three days and I started to get pack pains low down as well that kept niggling on and off. This is what made me test cos I said to my husband it feels like af but it doesn't if that makes sense. I never had any other symptoms either but the embryo was trying to implant so this is why I probably didn't feel anything else because it came away x

Cruz86 · 14/10/2021 15:31

😂😂😂

I had cramps and pulling sensations with my first so it definitely doesn't mean AF is on her way if you do feel it 😀 x

Cruz86 · 14/10/2021 17:54

What's your cm been like @rita83? I've just had a big bit of creamy cm but it was also quite egg white as well 🤷🏼‍♀️ x

Hello @cruz on Tuesday and Wednesday I had loads of thick white cm and some more yesterday before I went to bed. Wasn't that much though. I kept waking up last night as well like every 2 hours and every time I woke up I was sweating I had to sleep with the covers off. I work from home so up now and it's half 5 and I have a doggy belly if you know what I mean!!! X

Interesting symptoms!! All sounds quite positive though. I also have a dodgy stomach 😩 think I'm coming down with something because my upper body is starting to ache x

OP posts:
Cruz86 · 15/10/2021 16:35

Yeah I've had one this morning too! And the rest of the day I've been laid up in bed because my allergies have flared up. Can't see very well, sneezed about 200 times today (no exaggeration), congested etc. Just feel rough! X

Aww @Cruz86 do you have a virus of some sort? I have been unwell for the past week. I've got that really bad cold that's going around at the minute that has the same symptoms as covid but I haven't got that!!! It's really thrown me off actually this month so not sure where I am at. I am just going by when af is supposed to come which is next Saturday but hey ho she may come earlier or later!! How are you feeling today? X

OP posts:
Cruz86 · 16/10/2021 10:14

Yeah I think that's what I've got too @rita83! Whole body aches, blocked nose and can't stop sneezing, headache, sore throat, slight earache. I guess at least it means I can't symptom spot 😂 but not great when TTC if my body isn't very healthy 😩 x

Hello @Cruz86 how are you feeling? I know how u feel I was awful for about a week and yes it does take your mind off the whole tww thing as well. I have nothing to report really other than I felt really sick earlier for a bout 15 mins and then it went away. Boobs are still sore at the sides and had this since Monday as well so from around 2dpo if I count last Saturday as my ovulation day but don't even know if I ovulated then 😂 ain't gotta clue where I am tbh! X

Cruz86 · 16/10/2021 22:44

I feel awful @rita83 😩 whole body hurts so much and I've been in and out of sleep all day. Can't believe it lasted a week for you, I really hope it's not that long for me! Haha it must feel weird not knowing exactly where you are! Are you just going to wait and see if af arrives? X
