I’m feeling anxious tonight 🥴
First month TTC number 2
I had a very anxious first pregnancy due to previous loss and other health problems.
Will be very surprised if we get pregnant so quick, but you never know.
Lets see what this week brings…..

Not due till next week but sending luck and babydust!

Me… I’m on due on Tuesday.
tried to hold off doing tests but I did one today at 9 DPO and got a BFN… I have sore boobs so I think I’m out :-( as this is quite typical for me this time in my cycle!

good luck x

I’m a mess this month with symptoms, as I’ve felt nauseous and boobs have felt full, BUT I’m also very aware of how the mind can play tricks.
Ive developed all these painful hormonal spots around chin which is an AF sign for me x

So I'm 9dpo and cd 22 today, af due Wednesday/Thursday/Friday. I've had some random symptoms over the last few days, predominantly on my right side. Some twinges a few days ago, then yesterday evening I started getting mild but persistent pains in my vaginal canal (sorry tmi!!) and some in my labia - I expect this is from increased blood flow?? And then today I've been very weepy, lethargic as hell, burning nipples, and had a mild burning sensation around my right ovary for several hours, then suddenly quite a strong quick burst/thump of pain just above where the burning had been and now it's all calmed down, I feel more energetic, the anxiety has calmed down, and my boobs aren't as sore. Oh, and two giant, deep down spots turned up on the right side of my face yesterday - one on my upper jaw and one go temple. I never get spots. Anyone get anything similar?

Does your period usually start with brown discharge? I've been cramping all day, :/ Never usually get pre period cramps but my body's been doing weird new stuff last couple of months.

Ems1992 · 15/05/2023 14:44

Also out this month 💔

OP posts:
Ems1992 · 16/05/2023 09:46

So I had some brown discharge yesterday at 11DPO, today I have nothing, no pre menstrual cramps… trying not to get my hopes up!

@Ems1992 - are you going to test?
for some reason my period started with brown discharge this month, a day of nothing, then period started day after.
I hope it’s good news for you!
I do feel my body is feeling out of sorts this month with me worrying etc x

I'm currently 8dpo and AF is due on Saturday. I'm terrible for testing early so doing everything I can to resist the urge this month! I can't take another negative! We used the ferti-lily and pre-seed this month, as well as taking soy isoflavones which brought my ovulation forward so crossing everything that this is the month for us.

Hopeful93 · 17/05/2023 09:32

I’m currently 10/11 days PO of my 3rd cycle TTC. Have had some brown discharge for about 4/5 days and it’s not progressed to AF yet so trying to remain hopeful. I’m sure my boobs feel different, like a burning sensation, but I may be imagining it. Good luck everyone, I find the TWW exhausting!

Hopeful93 · 17/05/2023 09:35

@JourneyToNumber2 where did you find the info on these methods working to bring ovulation forward? I’m currently ovulating a little late which I believe may be impacting my fertility (day 20/21 of 28-31 day cycle). Thanks

Williams3001 · 17/05/2023 10:34

@Hopeful93 I think she was referring to the soy isoflavones. (The Fertililly is a cup to keep sperm near the cervix and pre-seed is a conception-friendly lube, i.e. it doesn't contain spermicides). There's no scientific research on soy isoflavones, but there's a lot of anecdotal research that they increase oestrogen and stimulate ovulation. Some women take them to help regulate an irregular cycle.

JourneyToNumber2 · 17/05/2023 10:51

@Hopeful93 yes, it's the Soy Isoflavones rather than fertilily. No idea if they're the reason it was brought forward but I usually ovulate on CD17 of a 25 day cycle and this month was CD14. If you search on here there are threads about them.

I think I just don't get pregnant easily. It took almost 18 months for my little boy, then 7 months before getting pregnant last year but that ended in MC at 11 weeks. We've been trying for 6 months this time so hopefully another positive test isn't too long away.

Hopeful93 · 17/05/2023 11:39

@JourneyToNumber2 thank you. I’ll do some research. My fingers are crossed for you
