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

Has anyone who has experienced pregnancy before had almost permanently erect nipples as a sign? I cant really find anything about this. They have been itchy a few times today too which I have read things about but they are not overly itchy.

@FlyOnTheWall89 I get itchy nipples every months and only had this since I've come off the pill which is odd. I had this last week on and off and sometimes get it in the one nipple. I'm not sure about erect nipples though 🤣

@FlyOnTheWall89 I've never been pregnant/not confirmed this month either but totally with you on the erect nipple front here, it's very unlike me!

Cruz86 · 22/09/2021 17:23

Keep us updated @Leibee87! How are you feeling in yourself?

Haha not sure about the erect nipples! I've read that itchiness is common but not that @FlyOnTheWall89

Hi all, ttc #2 and af due on Sunday so I’m 10 dpo.
I’ve had heavy feeling in my belly, sore boobs and feeling very tired.
Trying not to symptom spot but it feels similar to my first pregnancy. Either that or I’m about to have the worst period of my life!

I have a pack of clearblue early tests here and sitting on my hands waiting for tomorrow to take one.

Mammma91 · 22/09/2021 18:00

Hi OP Smile hope you all get your BFP this month! We agreed to start trying for DC2 this week. I am (so far) 5 days late - however DTD unprotected 2 weeks ago twice (before we agreed to try conceive). Can i join?
I think my period is delayed because of my vaccine. I really want to test though!

@Cruz86

Keep us updated *@Leibee87*! How are you feeling in yourself?

Getting twinges really low. Similar to period pain but it feels a bit different and not as intense? I don't know like I said before I haven't had a proper period in 5 years so I can't tell. I have most of the 'early symptoms' but again I don't know how much of that could actually just be pms (headache, nausua, tender boobs, frequent urinating) we will just have to wait and see.

How are you?

Cruz86 · 22/09/2021 20:39

😩 hopefully it's not AF @rita83! It's the waiting and not knowing that's the worst.

Cruz86 · 22/09/2021 20:40

Hi @MrsLeclerc and @Mammma91! You have got so much willpower, I definitely would've tested by now!! Hoping you get bfps tomorrow morning (if that's when you're testing 🥱)

Cruz86 · 22/09/2021 20:42

It is difficult @Leibee87, especially if you're still getting to know your cycles properly as well. You're not out until AF is here though so fingers crossed for you.

My spotting increased today and my period pains and setting in. I spot every month so know AF is coming!

Hya all just to let you know I caved in this evening. Hubby went out and brought me a free. Has a faint pink second line that came up 🤭 I am so so over the moon I cried as well!! Happy tears of course!! I knew something was different the pains that I had were like af but niggling and coming and going. For some reason I can't post a picture cos it says new users cannot post images yet. Anyway yes so I am obviously very early and only 12dpo as well roughly. Af due Friday xx

Hello @FlyOnTheWall89 I stopped my pill in June end of June I think and was only on it for 4 to 5 months as I went back on it in February after I had my chemical. Yes on Monday afternoon I started to get like period aching low down and thought well it's probably cos I am due af on Friday then Tuesday I had it on and off all day and yesterday nothing but yesterday around half 5 it came back and the bottom of my back was hurting. My hubby went out and brought a test and I thought oh I will do it but it will be a bfn no doubt but I had a faint pink line. I must have ovulated around the 10th to the 14th somewhere xx

Congratulations @rita83.

Just tested. Couldn't help myself. Bfn.
Now definitely going to hold out until missed AF.

Danani · 23/09/2021 07:57

Ohhhh how wonderful, congratulations @rita83!!!

And to think you were SO sure AF was coming! What an awesome turn of events! Very pleased for you!

Hoping your good luck rubs on the rest of us for a very very lucky October!

Mummytobe93 · 23/09/2021 08:12

Congrats @rita83 🤗 great news!

So my original period date is today, no sings of it so far. Flo app changed it to tomorrow now, so I’ll hold on with using my last FRER till then.

I went to bed with the worst upper belly cramps/indigestion last night🤢 I also had a go at DH, it was one of the best examples of pre AF mood swings😈 He forgave me thankfully 😂 He’s like “is it this time of the month?” and I thought you’ve got no idea! He’s not aware that of my “I-might-be-pregnant” craziness. As far as he’s concerned, we’re not starting TTC till next month.

I used my BBT thermometer this morning too, although it’s probably wrong reading as I was up at 3 am for a wee and couldn’t go back to sleep till about 4, then got up after 6. So I haven’t had the recommended 3 hrs sleep before measuring.. it was quite high, 36.9.. but maybe that’s my normal temperature when laying in warm covers? Who knows …

Hope AF comes to bring me some clarity so I can start planning for next cycle! 🌸

Hello @Mummytobe93 thank you so much. You saying that with the upper belly cramps I had this on Saturday just gone and it was lasting for ages. It felt like trapped wind and I had it Sunday as well but not as bad. Fine Monday then half 4 Monday afternoon I had period type pain but milder then and something was just telling me yesterday in the back of my head to test. I have been shouting as well and cried yesterday. Nipples are itching! Went really hot last night on and off as well. Baby could of only implanted not long ago and I am so nervous cos of my chemical last year. I am hoping this one sticks for me
