Lizzie1302 · 07/01/2024 11:02

Hi guys!
Basically just a post to see if there's anyone in their tww who wants to try speed the process up by chatting 🤣
I think I'm 4dpo due to positive opk and Flo app
I know it's too soon to symptom spot but I've been having cramps ( as if I need the bathroom) since day after conception and cm not dried up yet

Not tracked ovulation properly before but always have a 28 day cycle but says I ovulated on cd 18-19 so not sure if I naturally ovulate later or if I'll have a late period
Anyone want to join me

@Firsttime0727 thank you! Fingers crossed for you too. I have been reading perhaps a bit too much for my own sake these last few days and I took an ovulation test because I've read it can sometimes catch pregnancy sooner than normal HCG tests. And of course, negative. I think I just need to stop testing and wait for AF to be at least 2 days late to test again. I've done the stupid thing of buying multiple tests, and since they are in my home, I cannot seem to stop thinking about using them daily.

You mentioned you weren't quite sure when you ovulated so assuming you dtd enough your period could potentially be later than you think as well.....something to consider! 🤞🏼

TTC345678 · 12/01/2024 12:49

@Firsttime0727 yes, according to Flo it should come tomorrow, but I think i ovulated later so Im not expecting it in the next 4 days

Lizzie1302 · 12/01/2024 14:54

@Firsttime0727 I love that idea. We are so hard on ourselves that just having a nice bubble bath should be a little reward, having AF is bad enough but heartbreaking when TTC.
@TTC345678 you're in the exact same boat as me how long is your cycle. I was due to ovulate 29th Dec according to flow but didn't until the 3rd Jan so Flo says in going to be late af but I doubt it. I'm going off my usual cycle which is 28days

@Lizzie1302 I just got off the pill in october. For now it varied around 29-31. But before i got on the pill, my cyle was irregular, sometimes as long as 40 days. So I'm not that confident on my cycle just yet.

I got put on the pill 2 years ago because I had late ovulation, which caused a lot of menstrual pain. So far the pain hasnt been so bad, but i will need to test for ovulation next cycle if I do not get lucky this one.

Lizzie1302 · 12/01/2024 19:52

@Jademylo21 how are you tonight. Did AF end up coming x

@TTC345678 that's so interesting as I have really severe menstrual pains but I only tracked ovulation this month to which it shows late ovulation so maybe I should read up

OP posts:
TTC345678 · 12/01/2024 19:56

Yes. Maybe its worth a mention in you next appointment with the doctor. Perhaps its unrelated, but worrh a question. They offered me 2 different types of medication, i just went on the pill cause it was easier and wasnt trying to conceive at the time. But if there is something that can help you with tjat pain, may be worth it

Jademylo21 · 12/01/2024 21:03

@Lizzie1302 I'm OK, yep AF arrived 😭 I did a test just incase and definitely negative. I'm gutted and very confused. But I guess these things happen. Good luck for you tomorrow 🙏🤞

Lizzie1302 · 13/01/2024 08:04

@TTC345678 I definitely will thank you
@Jademylo21 I am so sorry I know how horrible it is negative test for me this morning so feeling very much the same but will only feel worse when AF arrives it's not here yet but I definitely have the feeling that I get every month so just waiting for more disappointment. I'm so confused too I don't know what all those sharp cramps and discharge was

OP posts:
TTC345678 · 13/01/2024 09:12

Same for me. 11 DPO BFN. I feel like keeping my hopes up is doing more damage for me mentally at this point. I'll just wait for AF and try to keep hope for next cycle.

Firsttime0727 · 13/01/2024 09:44

@Jademylo21 oh I'm so sorry 😔 hope you're ok and then you get to do something nice this weekend?

@Lizzie1302 how many dpo are you again?

Lizzie1302 · 13/01/2024 10:20

@TTC345678 when is af due for you again? Mine should be today

@Firsttime0727 10dpo which I know is still early but due af today

OP posts:
Jademylo21 · 13/01/2024 10:30

@Lizzie1302 sorry for your bfn 😔 you're not out till your af arrives. Its more disappointing for me after all the symptoms but wont be long until ovulation again 🤞 @Firsttime0727 I'm having a lazy morning then will have go for a walk, I live on a wee island off Scotland so not much to do beside a walk on the beach. Lol hope you all have a good weekend.

TTC345678 · 13/01/2024 10:30

@Lizzie1302 I'm not really sure because if i were to gp by Flo, which set my ovulation on dec 30, it should be today, but I think i ovulated on jan 2nd, which would make AF due on Wednesday. Unfortunately because I didnt test, Its making me go insane.

Gonna test next cycle to be more on point with everything.

Keep us posted regarding you AF. Hopefully it doesn't come🥰

Lizzie1302 · 13/01/2024 10:35

@Jademylo21 that sounds lovely a walk on the beach. It's great to be optimistic sooner AF is over sooner your next chance xx
Id love to know where you are all from !? Mines nothing as fancy as you hahah I'm in Rotherham, south Yorkshire @Firsttime0727
@TTC345678 that's abit like me but the fact I did test for ov has thrown me out on the flo app so my usual would be today. I'm getting my usual cramps before af quite strong so do think it's coming but pray it doesn't. But if I'm not pregnant I just want to get af out the way the sooner the better
Hopefully for you it stays away too. Do you think you'll test tomorrow if it doesn't come

OP posts:
TTC345678 · 13/01/2024 10:41

@Lizzie1302 I don't think I will, I have kind of convinced myself I am out. I cant keep looking at those BFN's. I'll just have to wait and see.

Will you test?

Lizzie1302 · 13/01/2024 10:44

I think AF will be here today so don't think I'll have a chance. I'm the same as you hate seeing bfn but then again can't stop myself so maybe.

OP posts:
TTC345678 · 13/01/2024 10:50

I've used all of my tests, so I have nothing to tempt me, I think that will help🤣

TTC345678 · 13/01/2024 10:57

@Lizzie1302 keep us updated. Still keeping fingers crossed for you, you never know🥰

Firsttime0727 · 13/01/2024 13:54

@Lizzie1302 I'm from not so sunny Cornwall! I've just finished work so thinking I may take the dog for a nice walk somewhere this afternoon as well @Jademylo21
Hoping you don't get your AF! And you @TTC345678 ❤️

Jademylo21 · 13/01/2024 14:12

@Lizzie1302 @Firsttime0727 were a bit spread out lol I live on the isle of south uist, western Isles 😊 my fingers are crossed for you getting bfp 🤞

Lizzie1302 · 13/01/2024 14:28

Wow you're all in nicer areas than me lol would love all of those places!
Thankyou guys I keep running to the toilet to check haha

Lizzie1302 · 14/01/2024 07:30

Hey guys just an update really. No AF as of yet Still getting the cramps like AF is coming but badly today. Stupidly did a clear blue today and was definitely negative not even a shadow of a line. Don't know why I did it to myself. Don't want to hold out hope now it's getting me down just want AF to come and go

OP posts:
Firsttime0727 · 14/01/2024 08:22

Morning @Lizzie1302 sorry to hear you think AF is on the way and you had a bfn. I remember you saying your app said your period might be abit later though......which might explain the bfn? I guess you know your body though and if it feels like normal period cramps......eugh. I'm holding out hope for you anyway! ❤️

Well I feel like all my "symptoms" have pretty much disappeared now so I'm not feeling all that optimistic anymore either. No more sore boobs, cramps have stopped I think I just have trapped wind now 🙃 I'm 7dpo today and period is due in 6-7 days I think.

Jademylo21 · 14/01/2024 12:26

@Lizzie1302 sorry to hear about the bfn. At least AF hadn't arrived yet. Still holding out hope for you. But understand yourd rather AF arrive now if she's going to arrive at all.

BejbandM · 14/01/2024 15:33

Hi! @Lizzie1302 sorry for your bfn bit you're not out until AF starts so fingers crossed 🤞

I'm 9dpo today, my boobs are very sore, they weren't yesterday sore almost at all. I have yellow creamy discharge, I'm a bit itchy down there but no signs of infection whatsoever. I still have dull ache in my lower tummy and back. It feels like AF will start any minute even though I'm not due until next Saturday. Still not tested, I'm not thinking to test as of yet.
I don't know... We shall see how this ends 🤷‍♀️
