I was tempted to do this too 🙈 which cycle number are you on?

vlove1234 · 29/10/2024 17:27

Well we have stopped contraception (pulling out method lol) wouldn't call that contraception😂 3 Months ago but this cycle i actually started using opks not even sure if I used them right lol but I did get a high positive on cd 15 but not even sure if we dc enough, how about you x

8DPO too!! ☺️ luteal phase normally 12 days so AF due Sunday!

Anyone having any symptoms?

BussiBop23 · 29/10/2024 17:30

Hey, can I join for a bit of company? I'm not entirely sure where I am, but I think it's around the 7dpo mark, I didn't do ovulation testing this month.

So far, I've managed to stay pretty calm and distracted, but I know from previous experience that it's the next few days where my mind sometimes starts to spiral!

How far are both of you into the ttc journey?

Hello,
My periods are due around the 4th that's what is says on my apps, last month they came late on the 6th , I think I'm having symptoms maybe their in my head but I've been having light cramps since ovulation and today my boobs feel shooting pains if that makes sense x

Yes of course, honestly I've been going crazy searching up my symptoms, seeing people get early bfn felt abit shit so thought might aswel do a group so we can keep each other company . I've only been trying for 3 months, this month i actually used opks not sure if used correctly but i did get a high opks around cd15 x

We're on cycle 3 of trying ... I had a pinky discharge when I went to the bathroom 2 days ago, my boobs are feeling fuller/sore and I felt abit crampy today like I do when AF arrives. She is due on 5th.

I've suspected for years that I may have PCOS (I have very regular periods but other symptoms). So booked myself in for a fertility well being check next month, hoping to change it to an early pregnancy one 🙈

BussiBop23 · 29/10/2024 17:40

@vvlove1234

I can completely relate to the obsessive googling- but it always made me feel worse rather than offer any reassurance!

I'm on cycle 19 or 20 (can't actually remember) ttc baby no.1. I honestly think the best thing to try and do during the ttw is keep yourself busy and distracted, allowing yourself a little google or mumsnet moment but finding something else to focus on if you can.

Yesterday, I baked cakes and today I repainted the landing...anything to be distracted 😂

I feel like I don’t really have any symptoms at the moment!!
Had bloating last night, but 7DPO I always get bloating quite bad (I think I read this is when progesterone is the highest). Was awake 4-6am and then when I got up for work I had a real upset stomach. But again read can be progesterone, however a symptom I’ve never had before could just be a coincidence timing wise and I’ve ate something funny. I have next to no CM this cycle which is odd, normally at this point I have a fair bit of white/dry.

I have a feeling this won’t be my cycle this evening, but felt positive yesterday! Such a rollercoaster I go from hopeful to disappointed hour to hour or even minute to minute x

Never lose hope you never know maybe no symptoms can mean a bfp, I have read loads of people don't have no symptoms and they get a bfp. When are you planning on testing x

I know, I keep telling myself to be hopeful but sometimes being hopeful and it being a BFN is even more disappointing 🤣.

I want to wait until 10/11 DPO if I can.. but I don’t know if I’ll cave in the morning. I don’t think I have very reliable early tests. I have the early clear blue, but it’s blue dye so renowned for evaps and then I have some cheapies from Amazon so I may call and get some of the boots ones tomorrow after work. Will you continue to test daily now?

vlove1234 · 29/10/2024 18:37

@KT199 I totally know how you feel🫣

I wish I could just wait till my periods are due to test but knowing myself I defo won't lol
I'll be 9dpo tomorrow so I will try and test in the morning.
Even last month i actually thought i was gonna get a bfp with all the symptoms i was having and my periods were late 3 days probably from the stress x

I’m already considering a late night test tonight 🤣🫣 so my testing will is giving in!!

Not sure about you, but every week for the last 4/5 weeks I’ve found out someone I know or close to me is expecting! It’s driving me insane! I’m so so so happy and pleased for them, but just want it to be my turn 😂

vlove1234 · 29/10/2024 19:09

@KT199 stop it you'll make me do a test now 😂😂😂 I've bought a big box from Amazon the Wondfo one step never used them before but they were cheap.
Yessss soooo true I swear I know so many people that are pregnant am there thinking when Isit my turn x

These are the Amazon cheapies I have too!! I don’t know if they’re reliable or early detection, which is why I dunno if I would trust it. I’d still get a negative tonight and then tell myself it might change in space of 12 hours through night 🤣 once I start I can’t stop it’s a problem!!!

vlove1234 · 29/10/2024 19:33

@KT199 well guess what I've just went and done f*ing tested 😂😂😂😂 a BFN I just bloody knew it so don't know why I just done it, yes am the same my brain is like it may change in the morning hahaha x

I'm due in 2 days (31st)
Cracked and tested with a digital early on Sunday - negative
Cracked and tested with a Tesco cheapie one today - negative

I'm going to do my best to resist testing again.
I had what seemed like implementation bleeding, had mild cramps last week and nausea feelings but I also wonder how much of the symptoms is in my head

Babydreamer123 · 29/10/2024 20:00

Yes I am 8dpo! Tested this morning and BFN. I've had cramping, tender boob (singular ha) and some nausea and fatigue but nothing apart from that. I am not feeling hopeful this month but only our first month TTC #2!

Have you ever seen the stats on this link https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php

It’s reassuring to see not many people get BFP’s 8DPO, can help me resist testing too!

8DPO still got plenty of time to get a positive!!

Hey!

Still time, fingers crossed for you! ☺️ How many DPO are you?

Harriet1989 · 29/10/2024 20:19

Hey all! Glad to hear I'm not the only one 🤭 I'm 8/9dpo and tested this morning but BFN, managed to resist testing tonight but I know as soon as I wake up tomorrow I'll be POAS! Last time I was pregnant I got a BFP at 11dpo but didn't test before that so don't know if it would have shown. I have short cycles so AF is due Fri so should know by Saturday and I've told myself if AF does arrive I'll have a glass of wine on Saturday when we're out for dinner with the kids at pizza express as a consolation prize 😂
