[Kates21]

So, this is our first month properly trying!

So this month my ‘estimated ovulation’ was today (cycle day 14)

From cycle day 9 I experienced EWCM until day 11, which then changed to Cloudy CM & Now appears to be getting thicker!

I cannot pinpoint ovulation, but on Monday I experienced cramps.
On the Saturday (cycle day 9) prior I had nausea and headaches which continued until cycle day 10.

I almost feel like I ovulated on Monday cycle day 11!
I just have that gut feeling, along with EWCM completely gone now!

So annoying not knowing!! So I’m going with 3DPO!

Anyone else??

@Kates21 when is AF due? I’d definitely cave by Monday!!😂

In 8 days according to my app! But because I ovulated early I think I’ll be due earlier!

I’ve just booked a blood test appointment with my drs! Xx

Morning ladies,

So I have blood work booked in for next Friday. I did a test today and it came back negative, drs said that it’s potentially a false negative due to hcg. Meaning my afternoon test may have had slightly more hcg yesterday.
Who knows!

She says I’m to treat my body like Iam pregnant and to begin folic acid etc!

Aww @kates21 sorry you got a negative this morning. Definitely leave it a couple of days until you test again to let the hcg get higher. Hopefully it wasn't a false positive and you get the result you're hoping for from your bloods ❤

How are your symtoms today lovely?

I have started testing in the mornings now, couldn't wait any longer. And although I got a BFN this morning at 7/8DPO, I already feel less anxious and less overthink-y 🤞

If this isn't my month that's okay x

@Rachipops

I’m almost certain it’s a BFP from yesterday - just my urine this am maybe wasn’t as strong as yesterday afternoon!
Hopefully it wasn’t a false positive but both me and my partner are ready for whatever answer, if it’s negative we just try again next month!

Today I’ve had really hot flushes & a few cramps, no dizziness today! Boobs still tender. Feeling quite flat and deflated, very tired!

Your still not out til AF arrives, so I’m hopeful for you! 🤞🏼 Xx

Sending you all the best wishes and baby dust. I wish there was a way to speed everything thing up for you 💐

@Kates21 wishing you all the best! Let me know how many future tests go!
@Rachipops that’s my way of thinking too! I sill probsbly start from 8 DPO just to let myself down gently each day! I’ll probably start next Tuesday! Seems to far away right now, but hopefully with a busy weekend, Tuesday will come around quickly!

Hey, how are we feeling today ladies? Did anyone test today?

I have a bit of nausea which is unusual for me in this part of my cycle.

Also Tender breasts and fatigue but that's normal for me at this point in my cycle.

Lots of creamy CM again too, I'm unsure if it's normal or not.

Now I'm 8DPO, the longest 8 days. Not feeling remotely lucky but it's still early days 🙄

@Rachipops

That sounds promising!!

I haven’t tested, gonna wait it out til either period or blood test x

Please keep me posted. Rooting for you ❤

I'm 3dpo today :) We were meant to be trying for our second in January but it was our wedding anniversary last week, I ovulated early andddd we got carried away so this month is a bonus haha.

How is everyone doing? It feels weird to be back in the TTC circle again. It took us nearly two years to have our son, Gilbert, who will be one in a week and a half :)

@Kates21 @Rachipops how you both doing?

@TheBirdintheCave ahh I’m 5 DPO today! I’m okay, I just hate day 5- 11 DPO as I imagine all the symptoms under the sun and I’m just so desperate to test!!

@TheBirdintheCave goodluck!

Hey, doing okay. Had a sleepless night because I napped too hard yesterday! So feeling a bit groggy. Another BFN this morning at 9DPO.

How are you doing?

@Peonies94

Hey! How are you?

I’m not very well today, very chesty cough and sore throat! I’m beginning to feel like my period may be coming because I always have a slight change in my mood & I’ve got that now… I’m unsure, it’s all this unknown business that plays with my head!

Seeing the faint line has really thrown me off!

@Kates21 sorry to hear your not feeling well!
@Rachipops and you that you didn’t sleep too well!

I’m okay, just really confused! I usually have really long cycles and peak around cd22-38 Ish! This time I peaked at cd15 but had hardly any EWCM! I then peaked the following day on IC, and then levels returned low, I’ve just had a positive OPK at 5ish DPO which had a reading of 1.6, and at my peak if was 1.85!! I’m not sure what’s going on now, I’ll try and DTD today at some point, but I don’t think we have it in us to treat this as another peak, as we were doing the SMEP and think we are done! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Peonies94 Good luck to you as well! :) I’m pretty calm about it at the moment, probably because my son keeps me very busy haha.

@kates21 that really sucks that you're getting sick on top of all the TWW stuff too. Would you consider testing again for peace of mind?

@Peonies94 your body is giving you such a run around! I'm so sorry you must feel so confused and frustrated. Just keep DTD if you can, although I'm sure your sick of it with the SMEP method 🙈

I went to IKEA today and had such bad nausea I had to sit down. Probably just being dramatic! Aside from that no symptoms, just breast pain which is normal for me.

Just planning out some things for when AF starts that I wouldn't be able to do if BFP... wine.. brie... baths 🛁 It's also my birthday next weekend 🎂

@Rachipops I know, I’m not sure what the hell is going on, I suppose I’ll know which one was true O when AF arrives, yeah I’m going to try and cover every 3 days and then atleast that’s something, but think that’ll be the best we‘Ll manage! Ahh bless you! Hope you feel better soon! Yes, treat yourself and make the most of it!
I try and do that, give myself some ‘me’ time and make the most of doing certain things we won’t be able to do when pregnant!

@Kates21 I can’t imagine! Seeing that line and then not knowing is so hard! How many DPO are you now?

Another BFN at 10DPO this morning on FRER. I know I shouldn't because you're not out until AF sings but I'm making peace with being out. We DTD 4 day before ovulation, so it was always a long shot.

I'll test on my cheapies tomorrow 11DPO and then test a FRER again on 12DPO.

If it's not my month, I might skip Christmas and start again in Jan, so I can eat drink and be merry without the guilt! (I've been avoiding bad things like drink, nice cheese and eatign healthy). I'll obviously keep taking my prenatal vitamin too.

If it's not your month will you continue TTC into December?

@Rachipops sometimes it helps to make peace with it, as you can kind of continue and look forward to next cycle, and if it takes you by surprise further along, that’s great, if not it’s all good! I totally get what you mean, it’s fine if it happens, but when you stop everything and it doesn’t happen, it can be disheartening cant it!

@Peonies94 Exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself.

How are you feeling today lovely? How many DPO are you?
