I’m 5 DPO this morning (4 if you trust my BBT). Nothing much to report, I think it’s way too early for me to have any real symptoms, so I’m trying not to dwell and analyze every little thing. The biggest thing I have is my boobs have been killing me for a few days now, like they feel so heavy! Bit odd, doesn’t usually happen for me after O, but then maybe I haven’t noticed before? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I'm so so sorry @positiveovernegative sending you big hugs xxx

Mummytobe93 · 14/10/2021 08:22

@Danani after the amount of symptoms I got last month despite not being pregnant, I don’t want to trust them though deep down I’m hopeful πŸ™Š
What would really make me think this is it is any change in my boobs like yours. From what I’ve read it’s like one of the most common symptoms!

Since I started the pill and after coming off it, mine stay pretty much the same throughout the cycle…

BH1926 · 14/10/2021 08:28

@positiveovernegative I'm so sorry to hear that πŸ˜” sending love ❀️ xxx

Dobcaty · 14/10/2021 08:29

@Danani wanted to say exactly the same, no symptoms at all, little bit more cm than usual, but the progesterone supplement can cause it. Are you going to test early? I need to wait least next Friday for a not fake positive (I had a hcg shot last Thursday)

@positiveovernegative sorry to hear, try to call them. Sometimes they are just sitting on it (obviously they are usually busy)

@Mummybearto3bg I can see the line! 😍 are you going to wait until Saturday morning or retest tomorrow?

BH1926 · 14/10/2021 08:30

@Mummybearto3bg I definitely see a line in 2nd pic. Fingers crossed for you xxx

Dob29 · 14/10/2021 08:39

@positiveovernegative so sorry to read that 😒

@Mummybearto3bg there is defo something on that test!

I have cramps today so I guess AF is coming to get me just as my app predicted πŸ™ˆπŸ™„

lemons44 · 14/10/2021 08:49

I think I can see a faint line in the second pic @Mummybearto3bg ... hopefully it gets darker 🀞🏼

AF due today or tomorrow for me and I'm 100% convinced she's about the arrive because my temperature absolutely nosedived this morning!! That's another reason I like temping... it basically tells me if AF is gonna arrive before it happens so it somehow feels less of a nasty surprise and also saves me unnecessarily wasting more money on pregnancy tests!

I feel ok about it. Onwards and upwards for the next cycle πŸ’– for now I shall feast on unpasteurised cheese and red wine πŸ˜‚ maybe even throw in some sushi! 🍣 x

lemons44 · 14/10/2021 08:49

Sorry to hear that @positiveovernegative sending u a big virtual hug xx

Danani · 14/10/2021 08:50

@Mummytobe93 I am very optimistic about you , I feel like none of the things you describe are AF signs, and especially soooo long before AF is even due! 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻

@Dob29 oh don’t say that! Hopefully it’s not AF!

@Dobcaty not planning to test early, unless…I get some super obvs symptoms and I’m like 90% sure I might be. I can’t handle the disappointment for days on end, would much rather wait for AF!

Danani · 14/10/2021 08:52

Awww @lemons44, sorry that you’re out this month, hun! But tbf, your menu sounds like an absolute dream and I shall be replicating it next weekend if AF gets me too! πŸ˜‚ that and maybe treat myself to a day at the sauna πŸ˜‚

Bundaberg84 · 14/10/2021 08:58

I'm out for this month. Not surprised because of only one tube left, but still gutted. AF arrived two days early, never happened before. And same old cramps again, had to take two strong painkillers at 3 am. Feeling really down today.

SammiStap · 14/10/2021 09:04

@positiveovernegative sorry to hear this 😒

Still no af show this morning…16 dpo today..? I think and officially 1 day late. She might turn up today though, I am defiantly waiting until the weekend before I get a FRER though.
I feel like crap again today with runny nose, tired, headache…cold.

Danani · 14/10/2021 09:10

Ughhh I’m really sorry @Bundaberg84, this sucks balls! πŸ˜”
I know this won’t make it any easier but treat yourself with something nice, take your mind off of things. In just a short week or two, you get to try again! ❀️

Danani · 14/10/2021 09:11

@SammiStap all very very promising signs! I admire your patience, and cannot wait for that BFP on the weekend!!! πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€

I only hope it is @Danani! Currently sat at my desk with a tissue stuffed up one nostril though 🀣
I’m just so scared of being disappointed that if af comes I think I’ll ball my eyes out!

Sorry to hear @Bundaberg84 xx

Bundaberg84 · 14/10/2021 09:22

Thank you @Danani and @SammiStap - yeah I will have a couple of glasses bubbly tonight and treat myself to a lot of cheese. And tomorrow is a new day. But today I will allow myself to feel down for a change.

Elsols93 · 14/10/2021 09:38

What would be classes as a temp spike? I’m 7-8dpo The last week been 36.1 now up to 36.5? I never properly charted before just been checking the last week clinging on to hope πŸ˜‚

lemons44 · 14/10/2021 09:40

Big hugs @Bundaberg84 .. we're in the next bus together 🀝
Eurgh.. now getting horrific AF cramps. Luckily I'm off work today so I'm currently watching Bridget Jones in bed! X

Squiff70 · 14/10/2021 09:40

So sorry you're going through this again @positiveovernegative. I hope your appointment comes through quickly now so they can talk you through some treatment options. You might just need medication to help you.

Elsols93 · 14/10/2021 09:43

So sorry @positiveovernegative only just seen your post sorry if my mine came across in sensitive - I hope you get your answers soon xxx

Lianna93 · 14/10/2021 09:46

Good morning ladies - just catching up.

@Mummybearto3bg Can see a wee faint line - hope it gets darker for you & it all goes well 🀞🏻

Sorry to see some of you are out already, hope you're all okay & will treat yourselves to much deserved wine this weekend!

My apps are now saying I'm 1dpo but still got a dark line on my OPK this morning.
Gonna try not to symptom spot this month because I was absolutely crushed last month after a really odd cycle.

I realise I'm due for my Covid vaccine booster next week at roughly 5DPO - last time I got a vaccine, i didn't get AF for 9 weeks so hoping I don't get affected this time around 🀞🏻

Squiff70 · 14/10/2021 09:47

Sorry you're feeling rubbish @SammiStap. I have very high hopes for you this month. How late is AF now? I have no idea how you're resisting the urge to test!

@Mummybearto3bg I think I see it too but definitely wait 2-3 days and test again.

My app says my period is due tomorrow so I did a FRER this morning. Don't look for a second line - there isn't one. My closest friend knows about my TTC journey and is a bit of an expert at fertility having been through IVF. She just reminded me that I ovulated very late this month so my period will probably be late too. Bearing this in mind, I'm probably not out YET.

lemons44 · 14/10/2021 09:49

@Elsols93 I normally go by this as a loose guide:

Before ovulation, a woman's BBT averages between 97Β°F (36.1Β°C) and 97.5Β°F (36.4Β°C). After ovulation, it rises to 97.6Β°F (36.4Β°C) to 98.6Β°F (37Β°C).

For me this month my temps before O were 36.35 and afterwards they were between 36.70 and 36.80.

Danani · 14/10/2021 09:50

You are definitely NOT out yet darling! Your friend is so right! Next time you post a test photo, I hope there is a second line on there! 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻 @Squiff70
