Hi anyone else in the dreaded waiting weeks?

Im having a crazy cycle this month so I think I’m 6 DPO but could be 2 DPO as I had 2 LH surges on my Premom OPKs. Trying to not get my hopes up!

Symptoms: back ache, lower belly cramps with aching around upper thighs, sore and full breasts, fatigue.

Not due AF till next Sunday so I have a wait to go!

@GH9687 THOSE LINES ARE BEAUTIFUL! Aww that has made my day! Congratulations lovely! Feel free to stick around with us if you like🤍

7dpo today ttc #1, zero symptoms of anything 😂

Sending baby dust to all!

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 14/03/2023 09:28

@GH9687 amazing news.

@FlyingHighFlyingLow I am also 7DPO today x

pm24 · 14/03/2023 09:50

@KIWI2023 thank you!

I got this discharge on the morning of the 4th around 10am and DTD but in the moment I didn't do any ovulation tests, then in the evening around 8pm I thought I'd test and my ovulation test was negative. I've not had this type of discharge before and since this discharge my CM has gone watery to creamy and now almost thick and creamy! I honestly thought it was EWCM but I have no symptoms which makes me think I'm out!

Looks like EWCM to me, you may have had a rapid peak which is why it didn't show on an OPK, some people have to test on OPK 3x daily to catch it as it can be super quick, mine this month went from low to peak and straight back to low all within 18 hours and no "highs". Fingers crossed for you xx

pm24 · 14/03/2023 10:57

@KIWI2023 ahhh thank you Flowers I have a scan with my gyno on Friday so I'll refrain from testing. xxx

Tophy124 · 14/03/2023 13:27

@GH9687 huge congratulations!!!!

@pm24 EWCM is usually clear and slippery and it resembles the clear part of an egg before it’s cooked. Or a clear slime/snail trail. Creamy cm like lotion usually comes just before.

@Tophy124 I had creamy CM before and after this one (the pic I posted) which is why I think it was EWCM but I've heard that just because you get EWCM it doesn't mean an egg was released! Xx

Tophy124 · 14/03/2023 13:52

@pm24 thats true and it doesn’t, but really the only true way to confirm ovulation took place is with a blood test.

pm24 · 14/03/2023 14:21

@Tophy124 let's hope my scan on Friday is able to paint a better picture of what is actually going on inside me! Xx

Rabnes · 14/03/2023 14:53

@suz2285 exactly that! When they removed my coil they said fertility returns instantly, so I was like right let's go! But obviously that wasn't the case 🤣

@GH9687 congrats on those lines! 🙂

I'm bloated badly today, but I think that's more to do with my lunch choices today!

Emmamoo89 · 14/03/2023 18:27

Well tomorrow is when AF is due. Will keep everyone updated. If I get a splitting headache I'll know its AF. We shall see. How is everyone? X

Emmamoo89 · 14/03/2023 18:34

@GH9687 congratulations 🥰

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 14/03/2023 18:44

I am good. Have been having pains on the right side almost feel a bit like a burning sensation. Also pretty gasey the last 48 hours and had another fairly vivd dream but not as much as the night before. Boobs are killing but they have been like that every month since I started the 7 Seas tablets. Still no strong feeling either way as had symptoms other months and nothing happened x

Tophy124 · 14/03/2023 19:03

Back is killing me today so decided to do a FRER at 11dpo (tho I’m not sure how accurate my OPKs were this month) and big fat negative!! Just had a little cry. I was so sure this month was the month! I hate having long cycles as AF isn’t even due till Sunday

suz2285 · 15/03/2023 07:46

Morning all! Finally got enough high temps to indicate I did ov when expected so currently 3DPO and omg it already feels so long 😂

Vivid dreams club for me last night! Was really quite scary! And I appear to be getting the snuffles/cold/sore throat so that's just great! Was meant to be in the office today but just gonna stay home and work and snuffle!

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 I was so gassy when I got pregnant the last time! Was one of my first signs along with the sore boobs!

@Tophy124 I just looked back at my last testing when I caught last time and I didn't have any positive until 14dpo and then the blaring positive wasn't until 18dpo! Every forum I see with FRER are either people confused by Evap lines or lines not getting stronger, personally I'd wait until you are due AF and then test again, but even then, unless you get AF you're not out yet! 🤞

suz2285 · 15/03/2023 07:49

Lol @Rabnes I'm so bloated too but been eating crap! Fixing that today (she says... again!)

Hopefully it won't be too long for you to recognise a pattern once your hormones settle! I was so mad when I came off mine cos I'd been on the pill for years, thinking it was just so easy to get pregnant! Hahah

KIWI2023 · 15/03/2023 07:54

Good morning all!

I am 6DPO today and had the oddest dreams all night and very broken sleep so I'm knackered. I woke up at 2AM panicking as I thought I'd slept through my alarm and not taken my BBT😂

@suz2285 that's great to hear about your temps! Fingers crossed & baby dust to you🤍

Emmamoo89 · 15/03/2023 08:20

I had a dream where I had another boy 🥺 x @KIWI2023

KIWI2023 · 15/03/2023 08:35

@Emmamoo89 what a lovely dream!😍 mine definitely was not like this, I was panicking and running around where we live as I couldn't find my shoes and they had all disappeared 😂😂 I don't usually dream so I'm going to put this down to TTC messing with my brain and trying to trick me into symptom spotting😂

suz2285 · 15/03/2023 09:53

@KIWI2023 yep same! Had a dream I was trying to wake up and couldn't, was silent screaming in the dream trying to wake up, was still asleep in real life... several dreams about random things! Dreamt about cake the night before that was much nicer, though I woke up before I got to eat it 😂

Now I've got a sore head... it's fun and games being a woman right!

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 15/03/2023 11:08

@suz2285 it'd still going on today. Did have another vivd dream last night but now I've been busy I can't remember exactly what happened.

I also agree on the days getting a positive. I was 1 day late for AF before I had a faint line and 3 days before I had a good strong positive.

8DPO today going to test Friday at 10DPO as have a blood test for progesterone that day which I am paying privately for as cannot get an appointment for one of NHS on the right day for this cycle or next cycle and don't want to waste time x

Tophy124 · 15/03/2023 13:22

I had another really vivid dream last night! I actually kept waking up as they were so vivid. Not pregnancy related tho.

Woke up to a friend telling me her sister is pregnant by sending me the scan photo. Why do I care?! The fact I’m moody probably means AF is due as I suffer badly with PMS. Just sick of peoples pregnancy announcements and I swear if I get pregnant I won’t be doing one. I think it’s time for me to come off social media but even on my texting there seems no escape! I feel selfish but it’s been constant.

Woke up with swollen glands, sore stomach and feeling really run down so I think I’m likely out

Tophy124 · 15/03/2023 13:33

Did another test today and BFN! 12 DPO. This one hurts as I felt like we did everything right this month and I now will need to book my HSG which I was trying to put off. It feels so unfair seeing all my friends with two babies!! Meanwhile I’m dealing with health issues constantly. Having a bad day today.

Thank you for those of you that told me you got later positives!! I’m sure my OPKs were wrong this month and I’m kicking myself for not just using clear blue tests

I'm 7dpo today, I've been insanely hungry and exhausted the last 48 hours. Though it's probably a result of dropping stress levels that have been sky high the last few weeks which have left me not sleeping and with no appetite. Got some slight cramps, don't feel like my normal endo pain but don't really think it's anything. I'm just glad I'm off work today, I've barely moved out of bed!
