@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @GemB03 @MrsRosaline @newtolineofduty @plantbasedlondoner

New thread as the other one is about to go!! Defo forgotten a few peeps! Please add ladies!

@CShandy01 that's sensible I'm not sure if I will. I like to put myself out of misery before AF turns up but also don't want to know early either! Argh!!!

@Aims1991 that's a great sign if you're usual cramps haven't started! Let's hope they stay away! Everything crossed for you!

@Aims1991 ooh I hope you feel better soon hun, lots of rest this weekend!

@CShandy01 sounds like you have a lovely weekend planned :) Putting up the tree always feels so nostalgic... love this time of year. I completely know what you mean about testing, I will be due just before Christmas this time so will be a bit agonising but let's see how I get on.

@hoola23 I'm CD 7, time to get going 🤣 And mild cramping is definitely more positive than not having anything at all :)

I really hope there are some BFPs before Christmas!

@plantbasedlondoner defo get going hun!!

Awww I'd love to see some bfp before Xmas on here. We must surely have at least 2 before Xmas right! Fingers crossed!!!

Hi can I join you lovely ladies I am currently 6dpo and persistently symptom spotting! Been very tried and crampy since about 3dpo

@Lilmisscatelin hey, welcome! We try not to symptom spot but I don't know who we're kidding 🤣 how long have you been trying?

This is our 5th cycle ttc2 it took us a while with ds so trying be patient and not test until af due. I'm not hopeful as I have bad cramps but that's normal for me due to endometriosis

5dpo today and I have loads of little twinges... kinda like how I would when I know AF is on her way and the month has been unsuccessful. But I never get them until about cd25. Today is only cd19. Could this be a positive sign? Trying not to overthink but it's definitely never happened before.

@Lilmisscatelin I never test either, I always wait until AF but only cus I don't really get the chance. My body tells me about 4 days before AF that it's coming with cramps and spotting so testing always seemed pointless. There's a few of us around the same point in our cycles here so that's quite nice ☺️

I'm off to York this weekend with friends for the Christmas markets and drinks. Going to be soooooo good as I am around what could be implantation time. Sucks because what I actually need is a proper good night out but hey! What has everyone got planned?

@GemB03 oh I hope it is a good sign. I always think anything that is not "normal" for you could be something but equally our bodies love to mess with us! See if it carries on as if it does I would think that's a positive sign! Fingers crossed hun!!!

7dpo today and I'll I am is exhausted! Like really exhausted. I went to bed at 8pm last night and only just woke up! I'm normally a natural 7am riser even on the weekend! I think I'm coming down with something as my throat is a bit sore too. No twinges and I think the cramps have gone now too so just waiting for the pre AF spotting which should prob start on Wednesday. I have so much to do today and I really can not be arsed to do anything. Think I'm actually feeling a bit down so PMS has already bloody started. Fun!🤣

@GemB03 have a good time in York we're currently snowed in so no plans!

@Lilmisscatelin were exactly the same cycle wise! I think this is month 13 or 14 for me for number 1 I've honestly lost count of how many cycles!

@Lilmisscatelin oh my gosh snowed in! Where are you?

@hoola23 yeah I'm very conscious that it could be my brain just seeing symptoms I want it to see. Like I also have sensitive nipples and I keep touching them like 'is this real?!' 🤣 what a fucking ride this is.

Oh also meant to update yous, I've cancelled the my private clinic appointment because my NHS referral has come through already. Waiting to book an appointment but the receptionist has said they have appointments all through December! Feeling very lucky there isn't a 6 month wait like some people are experiencing in the country! 😔

@hoola23 feeling exhausted could be a good sign too? Do you have a chilled weekend so you can take it easy?

@GemB03 that's fab about your appt! That so quick! I'm with you on the nipple touching! When I got pregnant I had one sore nipple so I always think sore nipps are a great sign!

I do have a chilled weekend but have to submit this bloody cpd for work by the 30th and typical me I always leave it to the last minute 🤣 sitting on my bed typing away watching friends!

I keep saying to myself to do a test now which is so ridiculous. One, I don't even think it's worked, two I'm only 7po and 3, I only have expensive tests and will be fuming if I waste one

Argh I bloody hate TTC!

Forgot to add I have really painful achy left hip. Already googled and it's not preg related, prob from running on the treadmill but it's bloody painful!

@hoola23 we just want it to be over with as quick as possible don't we. I think I'll test at 11dpo this month because I'm in a panto from 8th December and I need my head in the game. So I need to know sooner rather than later so I can get over the sadness and pretend to be happy on stage 😂

Ugh what cpd are you doing? Hate having to work on the weekends, at least you can do it from bed! Strange about your hip, is it muscular?

So I'm 6dpo, still no AF symptoms which Oliver normally get about now, being some cramps. My OH and my friends defo think this is my month because we have been referred for IVF they think it'll happen before we have our first appointment.

@GemB03 yes defo! The waiting is harder than the result, every when you know you've not been successful!

I work in children's services and we have submit cpd each year! So annoying!

@Aims1991 I think you're friends are right! I think this might be your month!

@GemB03 I am in Staffordshire but my village is massively under prepared for the snow 😂

@hoola23 that's cool that we have the same cycle, fx for bfp!

@Aims1991 hopefully this will be your month

@Lilmisscatelin @hoola23 God I wish more than anything it will be. But I just now doubt every month that it'll happen.

@Aims1991 of course, I get it! Some good signs this month though!

@hoola23 those sound like very good signs!!

@MrsRosaline you think? I'm feeling very negative this month and pretty convinced the hip thing is how I slept🤣 so done already with this month!
I can't lie this morning I woke up saying I'm just going to test now so I can get it out of my system. I didn't though 🤣🤣

I poas today at 8dpo and got a bfn of course, I knew it was too early! Just having headaches and cramps and bloating.
How is everyone else today?

@hoola23 the fatigue was certainly something I had with DD!

@Lilmisscatelin it's so hard not to even when you know it's too early right! It always puts me in a shit mood so that's my only restraint!!
