Anyone going into theirs?

I am either about to start mine, or just at the very beginning. Not got sticks to pee on just yet!

AF (hopefully won't be) due 8th-12th Feb.

Hey @JJ2023
Hope you've had a good day.
I kept myself busy and had a whole house clear out - much to the annoyance of everyone else in the house ! Passed the day and got rid of so much. Feel in a slightly better mood, still not hopeful tho. So, so bloated and crampy like AF is due.

@OnNaturesCourse busy day for me too! Twinges have been happening more often and starting to feel a bit more like cramping so I’m 90% sure I’m out and AF will start anytime soon, we shall see.

How’s everyone else doing? @HoneyBlossoms112 @Pitstop1986 @LittleMiss2023 @Mrsrobinsonx @Parkopedia @Smiffette

Smiffette · 04/02/2023 21:03

@JJ2023 not too bad, counting down the days until I can test on Wednesday!

Pitstop1986 · 04/02/2023 21:32

I just feel hungry. So hungry that if I don't eat, I feel sick. I usually get a day or two just before AF where nothing I eat makes me feel satisfactorily full, so I'm thinking that if AF is on the way, she may arrive early. She's due on Wednesday.

It's going to be a long 4 days until Weds!

HoneyBlossoms112 · 04/02/2023 22:20

Hey @JJ2023 , cramps and twinges can be PMS but can also be implementation so you not out yet! I’m glad to hear everyone is keeping busy tho, helps to keep your mind from obsessing too much!

I’m around 7dpo and have absolutely no symptoms. I usually start to get pms and sore boobs in the next couple of days so we shall see if I feel any ‘different’. So far I’m already thinking it’s not going to happen this month, I just have a feeling. I’ve had a couple of glasses of wine over the last two days too, but I figure it won’t do much harm at this stage, just not necking the whole bottle like I would normally do post work on a Friday!!

I’m excited to see what the next week holds. Babydust to everyone ❤️

LittleMiss2023 · 04/02/2023 23:25

I’m 7DPO today. Feeling ok, a few minor cramping and slight back ache, but that could have just been because I was out on a walk! As it’s my first cycle, I have no idea what to and what not to expect! Will hopefully know by this time next week!

Mrsrobinsonx · 05/02/2023 07:24

10dpo, not feeling much at all.
Keep skipping between feeling hopeful then thinking AF is definitely going to come.
ugh 😆

Mrsrobinsonx · 05/02/2023 07:24

No 11dpo now 🫢

Pitstop1986 · 05/02/2023 09:38

I'm somewhere between 8 and 11dpo (give or take) and caved and did a test this morning... Stark white negative.

It's probably way too early to test anyway. AF due on Wednesday, I'll give myself at least a couple of days before I test again

Mrsrobinsonx · 05/02/2023 09:50

@Pitstop1986 my husband demanded I test just now and pretty sure it’s negative but there’s maybe a shadow of something. We’re both not convinced though! Ughhh why do we do this 😂

HoneyBlossoms112 · 05/02/2023 10:11

@LittleMiss2023 hang in there! Not much longer to wait! Your mind will play tricks on you, I was convinced my bloating last month was implantation and it was actually my pizza dinner not agreeing with me 😂

@Mrsrobinsonx this is an exciting development, keep us posted 🙏

@Pitstop1986 you are still early! Not out of the game yet.

JJ2023 · 05/02/2023 14:06

@cocoforbes hope you’re doing well!

@JJ2023 i knoww, I just don't understand why I can't drop it and move away from the tests lol. It's always a let down seeing that blank window and what do I expect at 8dpo.

JJ2023 · 05/02/2023 20:34

@OnNaturesCourse we’ve all been there! And the temptation to just test is so strong. Sending baby dust to everyone this week x

Pitstop1986 · 06/02/2023 12:38

I tested again this morning and another negative. I had a dream last night that I got a bfp so woke up this morning really excited and hopeful. Oh well, I've still got 2 days until AF is due. You aren't out until she shows up!

How's everyone else doing?

JJ2023 · 06/02/2023 12:56

Hi everyone AF was due today but I think I’ve got my BFP can’t believe it 🥹 turns out those cramps and twinges must have been implantation.

@Pitstop1986 I did do a test a couple of days ago and it was BFN. So much can clearly change in 48 hours so I’m sending all the baby dust to you.

@JJ2023 ahh such good lines!! I’m a couple of days behind you AF due in 2 days and I’ve had some faint lines. 🤞🏻
congrats to you! X

cocoforbes · 06/02/2023 13:31

Congratulations @JJ2023 🎉 How many dpo are you? How you feeling?

@OnNaturesCourse so hard not to test, I tested from 6 dpo 😂 all blank up until 10 dpo for me. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

I tested yesterday when AF was due and still positive. Just really hoping this is our time.

Pitstop1986 · 06/02/2023 13:35

@JJ2023 Congratulations! That's amazing news! Woohoo!

How many dpo are you?

JJ2023 · 06/02/2023 14:05

@Mrsrobinsonx All my fingers crossed for you!

@cocoforbes @Pitstop1986 I’m 10 DPO. At 8DPO got a negative test. I had cramps/twinges/burning sensation between Thurs-yesterday otherwise not much else significant. A bit dizzy and tired the last couple of days.

Thanks everyone, now just hoping for the best xx
