@FantasticalCat yeah I really do have that this month for some reason. It’s probably me just being way too optimistic though lol x

@FantasticalCat @4LeafCloverBaby I knew something was up with me just before I tested positive before my chemical, but I thought it was just gas 🫣 I was so crampy and gassy, it felt like someone moving furniture around in my belly, I don't know how else to describe it. I had no other symptoms at all until after the BFP, and I had no idea I was pregnant. I woke up five days before I was due on and thought AF must have come during the night because the cramps were so insistent.

Went to the bathroom to get provisions and there was no sign. The positive test was a shock because I'd been through the whole TWW without a single symptom and having assumed I didn't ovulate last month!

I do wonder whether I will feel the same sensations again if I'm lucky enough to fall pregnant again. I think if the feelings are the same I'll know long before I test!

@KittyFantastica it would be good if we got the same symptoms each time as we would at least know but I don’t think it works like that. 🙄

Update for today…all symptoms have gone! I thought I have sore nipples yesterday but now I’m doubting what sore nipples feel like. Literally driving myself crazy this month! I need to just chill out! Lol 😂

It’s so hard not to overanalyse every little feeling. I was so optimistic this month but it turns out it’s not meant to be again. Started spotting this morning. Feeling really down about the whole thing. Two years worth of trying is really starting to take its toll. I think I’m going to have to take a break and rethink what my future is going to look like 😢

Good luck to everyone patiently waiting 💕

@onetwoandthree thats so sad 😔 I’m so sorry. What’s your situation? Have you had any tests done or anything? Sorry if you’ve previously said x

That sounds incredibly hard @onetwoandthree , really sorry to hear you are in that situation. I hope you’re getting good support from your doctor, family friends etc to figure out your options 💕

@4LeafCloverBaby and @KittyFantastica interesting to here you both have those gut feelings! I have a strong feeling I’m NOT pregnant - luckily only 6 days to go until predicted AF so half way through the TWW xx

Sending my love! It’s emotionally crushing for you. Maybe a break will help and take some pressure off x

@onetwoandthree I'm so sorry it's getting you feeling down. It's bloody difficult when it doesn't happen straight away.

So after doing a couple of ovulation tests over the weekend, and researching a bit more into BBT, I'm pretty sure that we missed my ovulation (my husband could only come back from work this weekend). We DTD but I'm fairly certain looking at CM, BBT & test that I must ovulate pretty early in my cycle and we missed it. So I've bought an OPK to start from next month, to try and get a better picture! So I'm fairly certain I'm out this month, but holding out hope for the rest of you! Next period finishes on 5th Feb, so I'm going to start testing a couple of days later and see :)

How is it going @4LeafCloverBaby ? Xx

@CharliP33 oh balls! Well I guess at least next month if you’re using opk’s you’ll be able to work it out easier. I would 100% recommend the CB digitals 4 days ones if you can afford them. They make it so simple. I used them along side east@home strips to work mine out as sometimes the strips can be hard to read even using the Premom app. Good luck for your next cycle! 🤞🏼🍀

@Lowrilawson nothin since really. Can’t work out if my nipples/boobs are actually sore from me keep prodding them or something else 😂 Have had a few ovary twinges but nothing else to report really. Have gone from feeling I know I’m pregnant this time to feeling very doubtful now 🙄😔5 more sleeps until I will know either way! How are you doing? What CD are you on? x

@4LeafCloverBaby Awh well my fingers are crossed for you! I'm on CD7 so pretty much finished my period now x

@Lowrilawson that hunny 🥰 Nice, so fresh cycle here you come! 🍀🤞🏼So you’re ovulating 2/3 feb? x

@4LeafCloverBaby well usually I ovulate day 18 so would be 2nd but last cycle I ovulated day 14 so we will see aha xx

@4LeafCloverBaby Yeah for sure! And he'll be back home then too so we can DTD a bit more regularly! Really good point about the CB ones, I've just ordered some. Hopefully if I get a good idea about this next cycle, the ones after might be a bit clearer :) Thanks!

well i'm out this month! AF came yesterday but least i'm back to usual 28/29 day cycles! according to my 2 apps due to ovulate around 4th feb and have a feeling we kept missing my surge by a day or so before so going to have to dtd lots in the days up to it instead 😆

@CharliP33 cool, the good thing about the CB is that although they are expensive…once you know roughly the CD you’ll ovulate you only really need to use them for a couple of days before that so you can make a pack of 20 last months 😊👌🏼Good luck 🍀🤞🏼

@Cazzy87 im sorry hun. That’s good that your cycles should be running as usual again though 👌🏼 Good luck! You’ll likely be ovulating at a similar time to @Lowrilawson 😊🤞🏼🍀

thats ok @4LeafCloverBaby i feel surprisingly ok about it tbh! fresh start again and now feel a bit more clued up that my cycles are more regular and ovulation does seem to fall between the average 14-16 day time scale how are you?

@Cazzy87 Have had a few ovary twinges but nothing else to report really. Have gone from feeling I know I’m pregnant this time…to feeling very doubtful now 🙄😔 Oh well…it is what it is! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just a waiting game now for the next 5 days!

Hi ladies, not long now til AF, hoping the next few days fly by!

Gut says I am out, but weirdly I DTD at the weekend and had some spotting straight after which is a bit unusual for me. Anyone else ever get that?

11dpo today. Sore heavy boobs with blue veins, and weirdly feel short of breathe. Still could be pms. Still not testing just want to wait amd see for couple more days.im going mad not knowing.

I've got my fingers crossed for all of you! I've just booked a holiday abroad in March so think I will stop tracking and just DTD when I feel like it the next few months, takes the pressure off and then I can enjoy my holiday without morning sickness ahah😹 x

So after completely ruling myself out this month, as I thought we’d missed ovulation, I’ve now had tender breasts and mood swings for the last couple of days. I’m over a week until AF is due, so this is really weird for me. And then this morning I woke up to a bit of spotting. I must only be 6dpo? And we DTD 2 days after that, so I just think it must be that AF is coming really early? So confused haha.

Just wanted to sound everything out around women who understand!

@CharliP33 ooooohhhh well that could be implantation…what colour was it?

@Lowrilawson oh how lovely! Where are you off to? x
