Anyone want to keep each other company ?

@SGChome20 haha I have been symptom spotting since 1 DPO.

@Bubblegum093 welcome! Temperature taking is a faff for sure but I do feel like it gives you a lot of info

Bubblegum093 · 10/12/2021 18:15

@HelloPippa totally! How have you been feeling today?
Ditto on the symptom spotting!

HelloPippa · 10/12/2021 19:46

@Bubblegum093 well all my imagined symptoms are now gone so not too hopeful but still waiting for Sunday when I can do a ClearBlue early!

Bristolgal567 · 10/12/2021 21:16

Hello

I'm 6dpo and trying not to symptom spot but it is hard not to! Boobs are v sore but they usually are some months before AF. Bit irritable and weepy but again I'm always like this week before AF. I have felt slightly crampy tho, not like period cramps but more a feeling if that makes sense? Also a huge spot has appeared on my chin today which again happens some months before AF so think this is just the usual pms :(

Bubblegum093 · 11/12/2021 17:40

Will be thinking of you tomorrow @HelloPippa when you do your early clear blue! Keep us posted on how you get on, fingers crossed.

Hi @Bristolgal567 - you’re so right it’s hard not to symptom spot! I’ve had cramps everyday since 1dpo just not sure if it’s my body/mind playing tricks on me. Like you say I’m not sure if I’m mixing up the symptoms with pms but AF not due for another 11 days for me and I don’t usually get cramps this early on.

Trying not to get my hopes up ladies in case it’s a bfn, but it’s hard haha! This TWW is torture Grin

HelloPippa · 12/12/2021 07:47

@Bubblegum093 thank you! BFN - roll on next month!

Fingers crossed it’s better news for you ladies

SGChome20 · 12/12/2021 08:11

@HelloPippa don’t rule yourself out. The clear blue earlys only have a 25ml sensitivity. Which is actually pretty standard sensitivity.

I quite like this website for figuring when to test

HelloPippa · 12/12/2021 08:20

Thank you @SGChome20 - this is a really useful website!

SGChome20 · 12/12/2021 09:33

I took a test this morning as well at 10dpo, against my better judgement. BFN. I’m still hoping I’m not out yet!

HelloPippa · 12/12/2021 09:51

@SGChome20 then we are on exactly the same day! Fingers crossed for us both - keep me in the loop!

SGChome20 · 12/12/2021 10:07

Yes definitely 🤞 last time I got my bfp at 14dpo. I haven’t actually ever tested this early, don’t know why I did this month 🥴

Geemmm · 12/12/2021 10:42

@SGChome20

I took a test this morning as well at 10dpo, against my better judgement. BFN. I’m still hoping I’m not out yet!
Me too @SGChome20 - really knew it would be too early and had just made me feel deflated!

I tested positive both prior cycles at 12dpo so going to try and hold off and test again on Tuesday. 🤞🏻

Bubblegum093 · 12/12/2021 11:01

@HelloPippa and @SGChome20 there’s still hope. When is AF due? Not over until she arrives!

SGChome20 · 12/12/2021 13:56

I’m a bit unsure when AF is due because of my early MC last month but my best guess (taking heavy bleeding as day 1 of cycle) is Wednesday.

SGChome20 · 12/12/2021 14:15

@Geemmm did you count day 1 of cycle as first day of bleeding? I had spotting for a few days last month before I bled so wasn’t really sure when to count from but I do know when my +ve opk was right enough.

Bubblegum093 · 12/12/2021 15:25

Fingers crossed for you all, there’s still time Smile you can be in this together if you’re all around the same time with your dpo days.
I will have to wait another week atleast. Will have to distract myself with Christmas festivities until then haha xx

Geemmm · 12/12/2021 16:13

Yeah @SGChome20 I counted the first day of MC bleeding at cycle day 1 and I tracked ovulation too so I have a rough idea of when AF should be due. My app says I'm due Thursday but that's only a 28 day cycle it's calculated for some reason and I'm usually 29/30 days so I think Friday or Sat. Hopefully not at all - but not seeing many symptoms of pg this cycle.

Have u got any symptoms standing out?

SGChome20 · 12/12/2021 18:43

I don’t have any symptoms really. I have been feeling mild cramps but that could just be AF!

HelloPippa · 12/12/2021 19:30

@SGChome20 ditto, not helpful that all the symptoms are identical 😂

@Bubblegum093 AF due Tuesday according to Natural Cycles!

HelloPippa · 13/12/2021 22:34

AF here a day early, better luck to everyone else!

Bubblegum093 · 13/12/2021 22:44

Good luck for your next cycle @HelloPippa
How are you getting on @SGChome20 and @Geemmm x

Geemmm · 14/12/2021 08:12

@Bubblegum093 another negative test today - starting to think I'm out this month and maybe my cycle is still off track from MC last cycle. Absolutely loaded with the cold all of a sudden, so emotional and crampy - think this might be AF en route. How are you getting on? X

SGChome20 · 14/12/2021 08:26

@HelloPippa sorry AF arrived, it sucks. Although sometimes I think ‘at least I know now’

I did another test this morning and pretty sure it was a bfn, but then I started squinting so much at it I don’t know!!

HelloPippa · 14/12/2021 10:31

@SGChome20 very true. I feel like my OH is already not quite getting why I feel disappointed. Thank goodness for you ladies 😂 i’m vicariously living through you for the next few days - hopefully there is something very faint on the test!!
