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 😂

@allgoodthings84 yeah I do agree that's so strange!! Sometimes cycles can just be weird... I have a regular 26 day cycle and this month I ovulated on CD11 which is early for me, means I'm likely to have a 23/24 day cycle if AF comes. I hope she doesn't though 🤣 and for you too! I think I ovulated early due to my chemical

Haha don't be silly not at all we are here for you!! I feel fine tbh, no change, can't work out if my nipples are warm and tingly or not, I mean my boobs feel fine but if I really had to pick anything I'd say my nipples are marginally twingy but I doubt it's anything other than normal progesterone rising 🤣🤣

@Angie2018 thank you. I’m now willing the spotting to go away either just stop or AF to come. If she’s going to come anyway I want her here now so we can ttc next cycle. If she comes in 4 days when I’m actually due we won’t be able to 🤦‍♀️. I’ve never been wanting AF to hurry up 😂 but it’s precious timing I need if ttc next cycle is going to happen. Would love to not have to miss a cycle.

@Angie2018 nipples are definitely a progesterone thing so don’t worry it definitely doesn’t mean that AF is definitely on the way.

when sore boobs are mentioned do they mean sore in general or sore when squeezing?

When my boobs are sore it's a soreness when my arm brushes past them, or if my child sits on my knee and even slightly presses agains them
It kills!

I'm 10 days PO now and yesterday had the sorest cramping pain at the front in my left side, actually made me gasp. Lasted about 30-40 mins and then felt it again this morning when I was in the pool with the children. Not sure if this means anything? We are currently away on a little staycation until tomorrow so it's helping take my mind off obsessive symptom spotting.

@CinderellaFant That sounds very hopeful! What day are you going to test? I’m glad you’re keeping your mind off things and enjoying a mini break 😀

@allgoodthings84 I totally get what you mean I am the same... if AF is coming just hurry up and come so I can get on with the next cycle! I hope you don't have to miss next cycle too! All the confusion and waiting is the hardest part...

@allgoodthings84 to be honest I am not even sure if I have sore boobs or nipples I mean I can grab them pretty hard without pain 🤣 I was laying on my OH earlier watching a film and he had a long hard grope of my left boob and I didn't feel a thing, normally by now I'd be sore. Like walking down the stairs having to hold them sore.... I don't want to speak to soon though as there is always time for them to get sore. I am officially now 7 days to AF if she is due. I've read plenty of things that people got their normal AF pain after ovulation and got their BFP and plenty that don't and got their BFP so I guess I am just going to have to wait as progesterone is going to make my body do the same either way!

@Angie2018 ahhhh nah I definitely haven’t got sore boobs then. They are a tiny bit when I squeeze them really hard but so would any part of my body if I squeezed really hard.

@Angie2018 yea I think progesterone has a lot to answer for 😂

@allgoodthings84 I think any mild pain or twinge or ache is normal at this point as progesterone is building regardless of pregnancy. It peaks at days 6-8 so I'd say if you have sore boobs before that it's due to normal progesterone but if you don't and then get sore boobs it is more likely to be from HcG. But I have read very mixed things so I don't know I probably should let it go 🤣🤣

@Angie2018 yea it’s so funny isn’t it as sore boobs can mean pregnancy but no sore boobs can also mean pregnancy 😂 or both can also mean AF. Basically every could mean you’re pregnant or could mean AF.

I did think though that if AF comes later today or tomorrow and I ovulate just before we go away then the first part of 2ww will be when we are away so will go quickly as holiday always whizz by

I tend to get the tingly nips and then the sore boobs set in if pregnant and I'm a front sleeper so I tend to notice it's very uncomfortable. Also If my arm brushes the side it would hurt.
I have been taking progesterone for about 5days but it hasn't really made my boobs sore. Just bloated and constipated.

Also does anyone get vivid dreams? My dream can be crazyyy! teleporting myself from one scene to another, full of all sorts of emotions one minute I'm lost somewhere next I'm on a mad quest 😅 some bizarre stuff!

None of this yet. Well maybe one dream last night but I don't know if I can class it as vivid. I did however wake up to the worst back ache.

Looking forward to everyone's updates this coming week. Wish everyone all the best xx baby dust x

@allgoodthings84 yeah it's so annoying as there is just no way to tell!!

Oh that would be fab then you can chill whilst away!!!

@ummidreams ok you've made me feel better now that sore boobs before AF die can mean pregnancy 🤣🤣

My dreams aren't bad tbh I am a light sleeper though! Your sound fun 😂

Baby dust to you xx

Haha just been catching up on all the “boob” chat…speaking of which, my boobs have begun to tingle and hurt today so maybe normal like all the other cycles but just a bit later.

does anyone think they will cave and test before next Thursday/Friday? Xx

@OCM19 ah it's so hard our bodies like to keep us guessing don't they!!

I'm still not sure if my boobs hurt or not!! Not sure if it's a good thing or not read so many mixed things it's now just doing my head in!

I reckon they may start to hurt soon... no idea why. But trying to remain hopeful!!

I don't think il test earlier than that. I won't test at all if my normal PMS symptoms arrive from like Thursday / Friday xx

I thought I would be desperate to test by now but I’m actually feeling afraid of it now..just not felt good about it today, thought I would be feeling more symptomatic by now (8dpo). Also BBT dip this morning has worried me, if it rises again tomorrow I’ll probably be quite keen to test!

Excited to see how we all get on this week, really hoping by this time next week we’ll have loads of good news!

Don't worry about the dip, it should only last a day or two max and go back up if potential pregnancy. How much of a dip was it?? Fingers crossed for you!! X

Morning ladies. I hope you all have a lovely day 😊

Morning ladies 😊
thank you @Angie2018 hope you all do too.
How is the spotting?

Afternoon tea was a good distraction but eating so much has just made me bloated and constipated and now pretending they’re symptoms, when they’re just because I ate so badly 🤣

How is everyone feeling? Another new week!

Morning! Have a great day! How's the spotting??

@Cdoc back to occasional very light spotting just when I wipe. Not every time. I’ve been putting white liners on so I can easily see if anything there and nothing so it’s very light occasional spotting. Seems like it’s going to be the same as last cycle so 4/5 days of this then AF.

so annoyingly doesn’t look like AF is going to arrive in time for me to ovulate before we go away 😞 what a pain

I love a good afternoon tea but usually end up taking the cakes home with me as I get so full as I don’t like to leave any ha ha

@Angie2018 crossed posts ha ha. Reply is above

@Cdoc no symptoms in this boat! Nothing at all. 6dpo today still so early for me. Have woken up incredibly groggy though. Have a lovely day!! How are you feeling? Glad you had a good afternoon tea x
