I technically ovulated around the 31st August. So I’m 6DPO, only symptoms I have had are some light cramping, some bloating. But concerned by the lack of CM because I remember I had a lot early on when I conceived him 🤷🏼‍♀️

please feel free to share own symptoms while we wait 😩 I’m going to drive myself mad

@Mamaandbub hi 👋🏼
Currently 8dpo! Dying to test but resisting, I did stupidly test yesterday abc there was a slight line but pretty sure it was an indent!
Had some light cramping and very bloated abs boobs feel a bit bruised!

Mushroo · 06/09/2022 16:30

Technically not trying, but ovulated around the 24th august so should be due tomorrow.

Had unprotected sex with DH around ovulation (on holiday) and he pulled out well in time, but I’d normally have a bit of spotting by now and absolutely nothing! I’m also mega tired and had way more CM than usual. My temp has also not dropped so getting a bit worried!

Going to hold out on testing until the weekend!

(we were being sloppy are we were planning to TTC in a couple of months, and whilst it would be great, financially would not be good as I don’t qualify for enhanced mat pay yet!)

MillieKitty · 06/09/2022 16:32

Hello! I ovulated the same day on 31st, I had a chemical last month and heard you’re more fertile after a miscarriage so I’ll be really gutted if I’m not pregnant again! I had bad cramps yesterday and vivid dreams so was wondering if these were maybe symptoms but it is still so early, the 2WW is torture isn’t it

Mamaandbub · 06/09/2022 16:35

@Harriet669 I’m going to try to hold off testing too! But that sounds pretty promising to me! have you had excess cm?

@Mushroo in a very similar situation, we want another baby, maybe not quite the right time but being super relaxed around ovulation unlike normal 😅

I’m really hoping I am though I can’t lie. Please keep us updated when you do test xx

@Mamaandbub glad it’s not just me! I definitely will :) (I would also be happy if it happened, would just need to live off bread and water for a bit hahah)

Mamaandbub · 06/09/2022 16:41

@MillieKitty no way! Ovulation buddies 🤣

Sorry to hear about the chemical, I’ve had one too and it’s heartbreaking 💔

oh yes I’ve had some vivid dreams too! I also had that with my son, in fact I dreamt I was pregnant 🤣

@Mushroo oh yes, I think many will be in the same position

Could I join too please!
Similar boat to @Mushroo , technically not trying, but we had sex around suspected ovulation and didn't prevent anything either.

Ovulation could be today/tomorrow (I have irregular cycles and suspected PCOS), in the TWW now but not expecting too much as it took over a year to conceive our first.

Harriet669 · 06/09/2022 17:50

@Mamaandbub Think I might take one on Thursday or Friday depending on my self control 😂n haven't noticed any but I do feet a-bit more emotional, might be that AF is on her way instead!

@MillieKitty I have sorry about your chemical, I have heard they can be symptoms but I feel like anything can be a symptom 😂🙈

MrsU2022 · 06/09/2022 17:56

I'm 2dpo...this is going to be the longest wait ever! Have been having period like pains since yesterday...

MillieKitty · 06/09/2022 18:39

@Mamaandbub thank you and I’m so sorry about yours also, fingers crossed this is our month

@Harriet669 thank you, you will have to update us on your next test! I tested a faint positive 12dpo last month but that was the first test I did so who knows the earliest it would have shown! 🤞🏼

Harriet669 · 06/09/2022 22:07

@MillieKitty I will do! Feel like I might be out tho, sorry if tmi but my CM has completely gone this evening! Normally means AF is pending

Gregorian1 · 06/09/2022 22:13

I'm either 7 or 8 DPO... having lots of sporadic twinges, cramps and pulling sensations in my back and lower abdomen, I've only ever had these before AF when I have been pregnant... I took one of the Amazon Conceive + tests and it was a BFN! Really hope I'm not out and it's just too early to test x

MillieKitty · 06/09/2022 22:31

@Harriet669 i don’t remember having much CM at all last month, I even logged no CM at all on 5dpo according to my Flo app! and I was defo pregnant so you’re not out yet!

@Gregorian1 you’re definitely not out! Just wait a few days, I’m having the same type of pulling cramps as you 😖

Gregorian1 · 06/09/2022 22:34

@MillieKitty Ooh I hope it will be BFP for both of us! I've been having these cramps / twinges everyday since I ovulated. Keep thinking I might be imagining it or creating the symptoms in my head though!

Gregorian1 · 07/09/2022 07:49

I cracked and took another test this morning. Another BFN. I think I am 8 DPO or 9 DPO now. With my previous pregnancies I've always got positives early - but that's with FRER - I've been trying a different Amazon test which says it is 6 days early on the advert but on the booklet inside the test it says from the day of your missed period. Bizarre!

Still having the same cramps this morning, it's almost constant in my back now. Will get some FRERs today!

MillieKitty · 07/09/2022 08:10

@Gregorian1 that’s a bit naughty of them if they’re false advertising! Yeah get a first response, but even if it’s negative you could still be pregnant! When is your period due?

Gregorian1 · 07/09/2022 08:23

@MillieKitty My AF isn't due for another 5 or 6 days, I am on day 23 of a 28 cycle... my periods are usually pretty regular.

Yes! They are Amazon tests called 'Conceive +'. Very strange.

december2020 · 07/09/2022 08:40

@Gregorian1 it sounds like the leaflet inside is to cover their backs - but so annoying! Fingers crossed for the FRER! In my last pregnancy I used the Wondfo pregnancy tests (Cheapie ones on Amazon) and they ended up being super good and I got my first positive on them.
I think I was 10DPO though (not entirely sure due to irregular cycles).

I think I'm conjuring symptoms in my head (I think it's only 1DPO) and feeling all sorts of twinges. But it's far to early so definitely all in my head!

Mushroo · 07/09/2022 09:13

AF officially due today and still not here. Had the tiniest amount of spotting (as in one microscopic amount when I wiped last night, but back to nothing today).

Temp still up as well. I do have a stinking cold
though so it could also be that… still planning to test this weekend if nothing.

Harriet669 · 07/09/2022 09:39

@Mushroo sounds promising! I admire your self control waiting till the weekend!

Mushroo · 07/09/2022 09:48

Haha same!! It’s quite unlike me. Wishing everyone else luck!

Just stupidly did another test at 9dpo, nothing there at all, guess my test 2 days ago was an indent!
