Anyone else due to test around 30th June/1st July?

[allgoodthings84]

I’m now 3dpo and trying to feel positive. My OPK peak times up with when I had EWCM and I’m sure I had some ovulation pain on Thursday. I’ve never realised it before now but I nearly always have a pain for a few hours in between AF’s so guess I nearly always have it but never paid any attention to what is was or why. Even though the timings all line up I still have a fear that I ovulated much later and missed dtd at the right time. I know it’s irrational 😂

@OCM19 yeah so from tomorrow I enter the implantation window!! Oh implantation is imminent for you now, hopefully you get symptoms for that!! I am so impatient...

Well the no sore boobs thing I personally think is a good think. It's what gave it away for me last month. First month EVER I didn't get sore boobs and did conceive even if it was a chemical. I've read many women have this although it can't also be the other way round.

I take the pre conception pregnacare vitamins and I think they are great! Xx

@OCM19 its so hard isn’t it. I was willing the first week to go so quickly, now I’m 10dpo I’m just nervous, I’ll be gutted if it’s a bfn. At least now I’m blissfully ignorant that I could be pregnant, even if I’m not.

How is everyone feeling today? Any new symptoms? I had short stabbing pains in one boob last night.. spent the next 30 minutes googling it 🤣otherwise absolutely no symptoms now, cramping stopped yesterday.

@Angie2018 that robin is so sweet. Definitely a sign ✨

Going for afternoon tea with my mum today so hoping that will distract me from googling 10dpo (my google search is just every day so far followed by dpo 🤣)

Morning 😊I’m not feeling too hopeful today (8dpo)..temp has dropped quite low which could be a sign of implantation (I had a temp drop on 9dpo when pregnant with DD) but with having lower temps fri&sat I’m worried it is going to be a gradual drop to AF. Tomorrow will tell and I’ll be hoping for a sharp temp rise.

Still feeling rough (along with DH who has a heavy cold) but no pains/cramps/twinges, so finding it hard to believe implantation could have happened/be happening. Sure I would be feeling something by now..

@BlondePotter @Tubbytele It has helped keep my mind off things a bit being home with my daughter (almost 4 years old). I’ve definitely found the overthinking worse when I’m at work.

@Cdoc Hope you enjoy afternoon tea, sounds lovely!

@Angie2018 @OCM19 Keep us updated on any implantation signs!!

@vitahelp thank you! Don’t lose hope yet, I read 9dpo is the most common day for implantation so keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow. Lots of threads on here also say plenty of people don’t feel anything during implantation so that could be the case for you too!

@Cdoc I really hope so, I was 9dpo with DD but that was 5 years ago and this time I only stopped taking the pill 2 months ago so I don’t know if it’s too soon to have a decent cycle.
I’ll be hyper aware of any feelings today, but going to try and keep busy. It sort of helps that DH is ill as it means I’m disregarding most symptoms as something I’ve caught from him, who knows the headache/sore throat etc I’ve got could be implantation related!

Morning ladies.

don’t worry about no symptoms even for implantation as everything you read online says most people don’t feel it and only that some people do so think it’s more common to not have symptoms

It’s easy for me to say but obviously not for me to believe ha ha

@allgoodthings84 So true, I think I read it was something like 20-25% feel it. First time round I never felt anything, the BBT dip was the only sign and even that may have just been a random drop or bad reading that day.

I don’t do BBT as think it’s something else I would obsess over and I wake a little in the night and often have to get up early hours to pee ha ha. I’m only little so guess I have a little bladder 😂 I always pee a lot

@allgoodthings84 I must admit it probably hinders me more than helps as it is extra data to obsess over. Speaking of… I’ve just checked back on my chart from when I was pg with DD in 2017 and it was 8dpo I had the temp dip back then and now I’ve had a temp dip today at 8dpo, would be very odd if I had followed the exact same pattern.

So I’ve just perfectly demonstrated your point about temp charting and obsessiveness 😂

@Cdoc afternoon tea sounds lovely, I'm going to one on Tuesday

@Angie2018 I'm feeling good thanks, no plans today but Dh starts a new job tomorrow so would be nice to do something, maybe go for lunch somewhere

I had a couple of gins last night and then felt really sick so I'm wondering if that means anything as I can usually drink a lot before feeling sick 😆

I have a wedding to go to on 9th... And it would definitely be very noticeable if I wasn't drinking, I guess AF will be here before then so I'll definitely know either way

@vitahelp i love data about my body I obsess over my Fitbit with my sleep and track my periods on it and my steps and calories etc. it helps me maintain my weight. I love doing the opk (when I don’t miss my peak 😂) I like to know stuff ha ha. This is why I’m bothered about the spotting as I don’t know why my body has only just started doing it last 2 cycles on the same dpo each time and only since we stopped using contraception (condoms not been on the pill since before my daughter so it’s not because of that)

it is still only there when wiping and not every time so it’s not even heavy spotting it’s just annoying me. Nothing in my knickers I don’t need a liner. If I wasn’t looking at the toilet paper every time I pee I wouldn’t even know ha ha

Ok i just went toilet and still only there when I wipe but it’s much brighter now and very obvious so I think AF may be coming 4 days early! It’s NEVER this early! Ever. no cramps that I normally get when it comes either but maybe that will come when it gets heavier later.

positive is that now there might be a chance I next ovulate before we go on holiday 😂 maybe my body is telling me something and next cycle is meant to be my cycle and doesn’t want me to miss it 😂 so now I’m happier as might work in my favour.

still don’t understand what the hell my body is doing though and means my LP this cycle is way shorter than last cycle so I don’t really know what my normal LP is now as I’ve only tracked ovulation last 2 cycles and both were completely different! Neither cycle length has been my normal which has been extremely regular for years. Ffs! I think I ovulated my normal this month though as I messaged my partner about EWCM back in April as I had so much (didn’t know what it was then) and it was the same CD as I had it this cycle but I think my LP is shorter than normal this month as I’m definitely never this early on AF it’s CD22! I’ve looked back over 3.5 years of data on my Fitbit app and it’s NEVER happened.

my body is screwing with me!

@Cdoc have a lovely afternoon tea and an afternoon off of Googling 🤣🤣🤣

I've been Googling like no one's business today!! X

Praying that it is not a gradual dip to AF 😞

@allgoodthings84 We sound very similar. I am the same at work too, I manage a sales department and spend a lot of time looking at patterns and data to plan ahead. I love it! But it’s become a bit of a curse when TTC!
I can understand your frustration, like you say it’s less about potentially being out for this cycle and more the discrepancy and where that leaves you for understanding future cycles. I do still think there is a real possibility it is implantation spotting but don’t want to get your hopes up in case it is just AF.

I’m glad you’re seeing the positives, like you say it could all be happening for a reason and next cycle is the right one for you. I sometimes wonder if TTC itself creates discrepancies due to the stress over it. Keep us updated on the bleeding today and whether it develops into obvious AF. Would your period normally start so slow (spotting for over 24 hours) or would it usually be quite obvious by now?

@Angie2018 Thank you! Already can’t wait to temp tomorrow morning, talk about wishing the weekend away! Wouldn’t usually be looking forward to 6:30am Monday morning 😂

You are absolutely right it's more common not to feel it than to feel it! Still symptom spotting here and getting upset at 5dpo because I have none and still scared of having sore boobs and it meaning PMS is coming 😩

@BlondePotter glad you are feeling good today! I don't feel so good... worried that if I have conceived something may have gone wrong! 🙈🙈🙈

Lunch sounds lovely for you!! Some people do say they get drunk quicker if pregnant so could actually be a sign?!

Maybe just say you are on antibiotics 🤣🤣🤣

@allgoodthings84 that is so annoying!! Is it watery consistency or thicker?

So annoying your cycle has decided to play silly buggars now 🙈🙈 good for seeing the positive though that you may ovulate before holiday so you get another try!! They say a 10 day LP is ok and so you can only count the first day of period as full flow. So still not a bad LP.

You can still implant though and it may stop. My implantation spotting wasn't that pink it was a reddish colour but watery consistency x

Everything you say you remind me of myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@vitahelp often I spot a day or so before so this would be normal in terms of spotting just before. I just have never ever been this early before. 26 days is my shortest in the last 3.5 years at least. I can’t go back further as only have my Fitbit data.

usually I spot for a day (sometimes 2 nights and 1 day) then AF arrives with a vengeance heavy and painful for 3 days (cramps only on first day) then light for a day or so then gone. So it’s starting in the normal way if I start getting heavy and crampy tonight then it’s normal. Just the timing isn’t. Better than 5 days of spotting then AF though I guess.

unless I had asymptomatic covid or something and it’s messed with my cycles but again the timing would be very coincidental and I have no way of ever knowing if that’s the case.

I never thought this ttc would be quick but I did think it would be simple ha ha how naive

@Angie2018 weird my LP has been 4 days different these last 2 cycles though isn’t it? I know a day or so is normal but thought it should be around the same. I know my EWCM this month was the same CDs as usual so would have thought my AF would be too. It’s so odd it’s just these last 2 cycles that have been different for me as I’m so so regular normally. My partner doesn’t get it either as he can always tell when I’m due on because of the dates 😂 I’m that regular. It’s always 26/27 days. Then last cycle was 33 days as ovulated late and this loads shorter but ovulated normal time.

I really do this it’s AF coming. I don’t know why I think that as I know it could be implantation but in my heart I know it’s AF as I can’t be that lucky.

Anyway enough about me I must be doing all your heads in. I promise I’m not an all about me kind of person!

what are you all doing today?
