1 dpo today - anyone with me??

[weathervane123]

Title says it all really! 1 dpo today and feeling a bit down and tired already! Not looking forward to the next two weeks. Have had three losses in six months this year so getting a bfp is only the first hurdle. Trying to stay positive but for some reason I feel like this month we didn’t have sex enough.

[Cruz86]

I think they're all good signs @Bell024!! When are you going to test?

[Bell024]

@Cruz86 I think from tomorrow I'll be testing until Af comes 😁 on Thursday is my birthday would be really happy for a BFP 😍 hoping this month is our month fx 😊
Do you have any symptoms?

[Firsttimetrier]

@Bell024 omg me too! Yesterday I had to log off work early because I had an awful headache and today I keep feeling like I’ve come on my period, but it’s just CM.

I’m so bloated and my stomach is so making some odd sounds and sensations too.

[weathervane123]

I'm keeping a watchful eye on nothing haha!

Was a bit weak and exhausted today until I realised I hadn't had lunch. Ate a sandwich and was absolutely bloody fine!

[weathervane123]

Just realised my page hadn't refreshed when I posted!

@Bell024 and @Firsttimetrier your symptoms sound super promising! Good luck!

[Peonies94]

They all sound really positive symptoms! I haven’t had anything today, but yesterday I did have some twinges just above pubic bone to the left, nothing today though!

[MaybeBabyAli]

@weathervane123 I’m glad you found the culprit for your exhaustion!! I could never accidentally forget lunch, sadly for my waistline.

So @Bell024 you’re testing from tomorrow?! Keep us posted! I’m looking forward to hopefully lots of us getting those two lines in the next week or so

[Peonies94]

I just did another test! Not sure why I do this to myself, but for a second I imagined a line, I could literally see it, and then it disappeared! It was obviously all in my head, but for about 2 seconds I could see it 😭! Im only 8DPo but driving myself crazy! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Bell024]

@Peonies94 I feel you 😁 I have such an eye for lines 😁 from tomorrow madness is starting . 😅😅😅 don't worry ladies, will definitely keep u updated. 😉
But deep inside it feels like it will be negative 😌 have a lovely night 🌙

[Peonies94]

@Bell024 it’s horrible! I tested yesterday but that was an obvious negative, but today I was just imagining lines 🤦🏻‍♀️ I looked again and there was nothing there 🤷‍♀️! Good luck! Keep us posted, I’m going to test every day from now until Saturday with a few cheapies! I can’t contain myself any longer!

I know what you mean about the feeling of it being negative! I feel exactly the same! Goodluck though ☺️

[Cruz86]

I tested today as well @Peonies94 🤦🏼‍♀️ but since testing, my cramps have really ramped up so I think af will be here by Thursday 😩

Good luck for the morning @Bell024!!

[Peonies94]

@Cruz86 yeah I also feel like af is on the way

[Cruz86]

When is af due for you @Peonies94?

[weathervane123]

Sorry to hear about the negatives, ladies, but it's still so early I hope they're just temporary disappointments!

I've had a bit of a blow tonight. Found out my partner is still technically legally married to his ex-wife. She didn't file the paperwork for their decree absolute despite petitioning him, and being the idiot with ADHD that he is, he didn't question why the damn thing hadn't arrived in the post. She's allowed him to think they're divorced for literally six years, while continuing to go to his parents house to visit and do DIY. She lives in the same city as us and they have mutual friends. It's not like she never had a chance to say something.

Yes, I'm that woman. Like someone from an episode of Jerry Springer. Though it's just a matter of filing some forms and paying a fee (I hope), I have to admit it's thrown me, at the worst time.

Sorry for the non-ttc post. Just had to write it out. Life, hey?

[Peonies94]

@Cruz86 no idea, I’m so irregular! I just tested today and it was negative, I’m going to continue to test for the next few days!

@weathervane123 oh no :( sorry to hear about that! Hope you manage to get it sorted soon!

[Bell024]

Morning ladies,
I did a test today, BFN and I think I'm out. My skin got very dry, which is usual before my period. Seems like it's never gonna happen. 😕
Wishing you ladies good luck, baby dust to you , all!
🤗

[Firsttimetrier]

Sorry to hear about this @weathervane123 I hope you guys get this sorted and it’s a painless process.

@Bell024 you aren’t out until AF rears her ugly head, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Honestly, who decided to make early pregnancy and PMS symptoms the same?

Most of last night I had a dull ache kind of below my pelvic bone area and keep getting the sensation that I’m coming on, but it keeps being CM. Sorry for TMI first thing in the morning.

I just wish I paid attention and logged all my PMS symptoms over the years, as I can’t remember what is normal!

Testing on Friday though…

[Bell024]

@Firsttimetrier I couldn't agree you more. I've been getting PMS symptoms since last year, since I've got medical treatment for my ectopic. I seriously just can't make a difference between PMS or being pregnant , before I could because the only symptom I've got was some cramps few days before period.
In the past 1 year my symptoms are cramps, mood swings, vomit feeling, fatigue, headaches, sore boobs, feeling angry in EVERY single month!!!
I'm just so tired of it, sometimes I feel giving up trying , so at least I know that pregnancy has nothing to do with what I feel before period. It kills you mentally.
Sorry to hear that weathervane123 hopefully everything gets better.

[MaybeBabyAli]

Morning ladies!! I reckon it’s a bit early to read into negatives at the moment so we’re all still in until AF comes along.

I’m also thinking I have all the usual suspects for both pregnancy and PMS! I’ve had no more spotting, just the little bit on DPO 6 which Google says was on the early side for implantation. I’m having internal battles about testing. I have one more clear blue early which I am contemplating using on Friday or Saturday…

@weathervane123 sorry to hear about your partner’s situation. Fingers crossed it is all easy to sort out from a legal perspective. I can’t believe neither of them said anything!!

[Cruz86]

Morning all.

Sounds like a tough situation @weathervane123! Another thing for you to think about and take the lead on I can imagine (if your partner has ADHD). Hope it's not too much of a weight on your shoulders with TTC too.

My bleeding/spotting is getting heavier today. Started on Monday just light pink, then I had a toilet paper worth of bright red, and yesterday it was light brown/pink again. But this morning it was quite a dark red/dark brown so I'm just waiting for af to say hi now!

I'll be rooting for you all though!

[MaybeBabyAli]

How was everyone’s day? I’ve got lots of deadlines at the moment and feeling the pressure which is helping pass the time. I think I’m onto 9 DPO tomorrow already! I’ve had to commute back into the office a few times a week as well and forgot how tiring it is!

@Cruz86 how’s the spotting been today? I always read that implantation can appear like an early AF so you may not be out.

[ExcitedtoTry]

Totally understandable that you’re thrown @weathervane123. I hear about this happening to so many people too. Surely there’s a better & more straight forward divorce process that this silliness!

I’m on probably 5 DPO. I’m not sure if I’m just willing this to be true but I have been pregnant before (ended by choice) and I journaled how I felt & I had symptoms immediately then. I even took a sick day which is unheard of for me. I was clumsy, sore boobs, forgetful, crampy, nausea and very tired. It’s exactly how I feel now and I’m not a sickly person. I’ve also made some silly mistakes these past few days e.g. picking up my boots card not credit card. Whoops.

I know it’s far too early for this but I can’t help thinking I am. I really hope so.

[weathervane123]

Thanks ladies. I've recovered from the shock now! Hopefully it'll be straightforward to sort out. How is everyone this morning?

@Firsttimetrier your symptoms sound very promising. Good luck with testing today & keep us posted!

@Bell024 worsening PMS is a nightmare. I'm so sorry you've had to deal with that. It's even more destroying when ttc! I hope in time that levels out (and of course that you're pregnant so you don't have to put up with it for a while!). Maybe speak to your GP about it?

@Cruz86 how's the spotting? MaybeBabyAli is on the money - i've also read that you can bleed weirdly in early pregnancy. Is it normal for you to spot like that before AF?

@ExcitedtoTry Hmm... we have our suspicions she did it 'accidentally on purpose' at best. I'm not thrilled to pay her a compliment right now (lol) but she is quite smart and organised so... Anyway, very best of luck for this cycle! It's remarkable how often intuition and impossibly early symptoms turn into a bfp on here. I reckon you're probably onto something!

I had some mild 'feelings' in my uterus on Tuesday night/Weds, but I can't say that it was a cramp or a pulling sensation. Whatever it was, I can just as easily put it down to PMS probably. Boobs only very slightly tender. Nothing definitive from me.

A while back I used to have 26-day cycles but my cycles have been all over the place thanks to the implant then the losses. There's every possibility AF could show in one or two days. I bloody hope not as aside from not being pregnant, that means my LP is actually really short!

[Bell024]

@weathervane123 thank you 😊 I will go to my Gp because its not normal.
Last night dreamt about being pregnant, morning took a test, was ofc negative , was so disappointed. 😔😔 especially that's its my birthday. And also the anniversary. Its much harder today than any other months/day.
I'm 9 dpo today, but very sure I'm out. Period is in 3days.
I really hope all of you will have a BFP. 🤗

[LittleMysSister]

@weathervane123 Re your partner, get him to restart the divorce from scratch himself. His Decree NISI will have expired after 6 years, and the petitioner is the one who can move a divorce through the stages. The respondent has to wait until the petitioner has failed for X amount of weeks before they can progress things, which longs it out massively if his ex doesn't act when requested.

He will have to pay the fee again but if he responds straight away to everything it can all be done in about 12 weeks :)

On TTC, I am only 3dpo so way too early for any symptoms, but doesn't stop me wondering about every single thing though .

Yesterday and today I've had an overload of CM - which weirdly seems normal for me in the days following suspected ovulation - and this morning I have a stabbing pain in my fanny, which is lovely 😕
