[quote Chanel05]@girafferafferaffe that's amazing though! Going from a bfn to a bfp too.

I'm 8dpo and I'm not sure if I have sore/tingling boobs or if I am just being extra tuned into symptom spotting 😂. The only time I've ever had sore breasts during the tww was in my first pregnancy. With my daughter, they didn't hurt until 5 weeks pregnant. [/quote]
Oh I really hope it's the time for you!

Chanel05 · 31/12/2021 09:08

I took a cheapie this morning and it's a bfn

@Chanel05 you're not out yet it s still early.

Chanel05 · 31/12/2021 12:05

@20viona ah I know but both my previous pregnancies I had bfp at 9dpo so that's my marker 😂

@Chanel05 fingers crossed for you!

girafferafferaffe · 31/12/2021 13:04

Fingers crossed!

Chanel05 · 01/01/2022 09:45

Had a pink evap but completely a bfn this morning.

@Chanel05 Its still early! What cycle are you on?

Chanel05 · 01/01/2022 10:48

@GreenFlipFlop I'm on cycle 3, both previous times I conceived on cycle 8 so I'm convinced I've got months left Xmas Grin

Happy New year ladies! Congratulations to the BFPs over Christmas 🎉 CD5 over here and opks at the ready to make sure I catch the surge this cycle or try anyways 😂 Is anyone at the same cycle stage?

Moonshine160 · 01/01/2022 16:36

Happy new year everyone.
I am in the fertile week of cycle 4. Going to try and DTD every day for the next few days but DS is sleeping terribly at the moment so it’s hard to find the energy. I’m also on antibiotics for a chest infection so I’m not feeling great and convinced it won’t happen this month.

lovesT · 01/01/2022 16:52

Hello! Can I join please 🙂.

TTC baby no 2. Daughter is 22m and still breastfed. Taking Pregnacare like I did the first time which seemed to help.

Third or fourth month trying, I'm a week away from period but haven't had normal pms and I have sore boobs which I haven't had since having my daughter so I'm feeling hopeful!

xxfxx · 01/01/2022 17:20

Hey guys. Happy new year to you all. So pleased to see the BFPs!

I’m currently 5 days late. BFN I have no idea what’s going on with my cycle it’s been messed up since I had the booster 2 months ago!

Moonshine160 · 03/01/2022 10:06

Morning all. I tested positive for COVID yesterday and I feel so poorly. Ovulation is today sad manage to DTD last night (with DH putting all the work in) while we both wore masks! If I didn’t laugh I’d cry. Just really didn’t want to miss the window of opportunity. I feel really rough though so I doubt my body will let me get pregnant this cycle sad does anyone know of anyone who managed to get pregnant while they had covid?!

girafferafferaffe · 03/01/2022 14:25

@Moonshine160 I'm sorry to hear that :( what times we live in, eh?

lovesT · 03/01/2022 16:16

Can I ask those of you with a positive test (especially those still breastfeeding) what your symptoms were?

I've got sore boobs for the first time since having my daughter and very very mild cramps just starting 4 days before my period is due, I'd usually have stronger cramps for a week or so before period is due but haven't had that this month. My boobs also feel a bit tingly sometimes as if milk is coming in but is doesn't last long at all. I also wonder if my sense of smell is heightened but that could just be me being very aware of it all!

I've taken a few One Step tests and all negative but the reviews of those seem pretty rubbish! X

MargaritaEagle · 03/01/2022 19:34

Hi all! I am about to start TTC for baby number 2. We have a 3 year old son. We conceived him the first month we started trying but I don't think we'll be as lucky this time. I'm a bit older and a bit fatter Grin

Margo34 · 03/01/2022 21:18

So we had a funny moment while TTC this week, milk squirt all over DH middle of DTD 🙈 well that hasn't happened before! Mortified! Haven't laughed that much in ages though 🤣

Anyone else here BF while TTC?

GreenFlipFlop · 03/01/2022 23:58

@Moonshine160 oh no, I hope you feel better soon! Fingers crossed for you this month!

@lovesT I got my BFP just before Christmas and didn't have many symptoms at all apart from cramping 2-3 days before! I had a chemical pregnancy in Sept and with that, had the letdown feeling in my boobs which was a strange symptom but turned out to be a BFP so hopeful it could be a better outcome for you!
I was convinced originally the One Step tests (mine were from eBay) were duds because I'd read so many bad reviews on them being cheap and dodgy but they were actually really accurate for my BFP this month and have gotten considerably darker despite me seeing reviews that they barely show weeks into pregnancy!

lovesT · 04/01/2022 09:03

I'm out 😟 very confused with the sore boobs and no cramps as usual and cycle has gone from 32 days to 28 days again so things have definitely been different this month. But unexpectedly came on this morning 😔 was expecting Friday

Chanel05 · 04/01/2022 13:48

@lovesT sorry to hear that! I've just had my first 28 day cycle too! It's usually 29-31 days but I wasn't expecting af until tomorrow.

Onto cycle 4 now and feeling positive ! What cycle are you now on?

OP posts:
lovesT · 04/01/2022 14:21

@Chanel05

Oh that's strange! Part.of me wonders is it a good thing, no cramps for a week before and sore boobs have started again? Feels more like what I had before I had my daughter, my cycles also used to be 28 but for the last few they've been 32.

I think I'm also on cycle 4! How old is your first? My daughter is 23 months old 😊 well after its over we'll be trying again so hopefully just a few days 😀

Goodgoodthings · 05/01/2022 10:48

Happy new year everyone, just catching up here after a few weeks trying to relax 😅

So nice to see lots of new people joining, this has been such a help to me these last few months! We're now on cycle three TTC (one cycle was a write off thanks to being I'll) but overall I'm feeling good - hopefully this year will be our year 🌟

Laughing so hard at your story @Margo34 I've been there! DD1 has all but self weaned over Christmas at 18 months which has been bitter sweet.

@GreenFlipFlop still so happy for you and wondering how you're feeling and getting on?

TotoAnnihiliation · 05/01/2022 13:46

I've had a bloated feeling in my uterus and sore boobs. I had sore boobs last month and it was a no. I don't know how to feel!

GreenFlipFlop · 05/01/2022 15:19

@goodgoodthings Thank you! ❤️ I'm 7 weeks tomorrow! The wait for the 12 week scan seems so long! I can't wait to tell our families if all is ok though, my mum will be so excited! Feeling nauseous most mornings but no vom thankfully (yet!) Bit nervous about pregnancy this time round with a toddler though, he's 100mph atm 😂

Got everything crossed for this cycle for you!! 🤞🏾 When is your fertile week? Are you using OPK's?
