God, for a minute I thought you meant blood was a supplement - I was willing to try it!

@Sugarcube84 i have also ordered hertility, they say to take the blood on 3rd day of your cycle. I ordered last month after AF and will be using it this month when AF comes (due tomorrow)!

Well I’m day 1 today so it might not come in time so we’ll see

Hahah willing to try anything too 😂

Hey girls hope you don’t mind me joining ! I’m 5dpo (around that) and my boobs have been aching and I never get sore boobs but I know it’s the progesterone and the body plays cruel tricks 🤣 baby dust to all ✨✨

Inked1518 · 14/11/2024 17:25

@Readysetgooo sounds like you're only a couple days after me! I'm due mine on the 18th, but keeping everything crossed for you it doesn't show! And hopefully I've just tested too early 🤞

Travelexplore24 · 14/11/2024 17:31

Hi Everyone :) hope it’s okay if I join? We are TTC baby number 1 and this is our second cycle. I’m 3 dpo and spent so much money last cycle on early pregnancy tests that I’m really going to try and not test until the date AF is due. Everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant on their first try so really finding it tough even though I know we are only at the start of our journey. Really glad I stumbled across this thread and congratulations to all the BFP so far!

@Ellamaee
welcome both!

I am month 4 TTC, and honestly 5 of my friends all got pregnant first cycle so I find it really hard not to compare!

Trying to tell myself that actual that’s not usual, and 6 months to a year is the normal! Xx

I’m ttc my second ! My first is 13 months , I’m very lucky I got pregnant with her first try , although I’m on my 2nd cycle ttc this one ! And yes exactly anything over a year is when doctors start to look into it . How many dpo are you? Xx

Positivity1234 · 14/11/2024 17:52

@Ellamaee i am 10 DPO due AF tomorrow which I think may appear, or may come Saturday. My BBT has dropped so not feeling hopeful tbh! You?

Have you tested ? Does bbt dropping mean af? I’m only 5dpo but mood swings and sore boobs which feels too early for pms but I think because I’m ttc im noticing it more !

No I haven’t tested! I have never tested before AF has arrived and it always has! I don’t have any tests in the house, so I’m not tempted! Yes a consecutive drop of two days or more is usually a sign for me, and the day AF actually arrives it plummets!

I ALWAYS have sore boobs post ovulation and they ease of as AF gets closer, I think if they stay sore that can be a good indication!

Ahh I never got sore boobs with my first so I’m not overly hopeful atm they were really sore yesterday and today they’re only sore when touched so less:( you’re better than me I always say I won’t test early then I do but I think I’m gonna be strong willed and just wait ! I’ve no tests either so can’t be tempted

Tests are so expensive aren't they! I love to test though so I got cheap strips (easy at home) and I don't feel guilty when I use multiple of them a day 😂 then I pull the big guns out if I think I see something

Readysetgooo · 14/11/2024 19:53

@Inked1518 fingers crossed 🤞 Going to try to resist testing too early (difficult with a box of cheap strips staring at me in the bathroom) but feels like it might be the longest few days ever. Wishing you a speedy few days to find out.

Smileymom · 14/11/2024 23:01

I'm not symptom spotting, it's too early but I'm just noting. If I get a negative next week. METALLIC TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH MEANS NOTHING!
it's annoying me something awful today nothing takes it away.

i think when ttc our body dishes out symptoms that make us question our sanity 🤣

LolaJ87 · 14/11/2024 09:12

This is going to sound a bit weird but it might bring some comfort to some of you who are disappointed. I try to think that I will only get pregnant when it's the right egg to make my baby. I don't know if that even makes sense but obviously any egg/sperm combo will be different, so maybe your body/fate is just waiting for the right one. It might seem a bit silly, but sometimes reframing things can really help.

Love this - I’m currently 5dpo and if this month isn’t the month then this is what I’ll tell myself. Sorry to everyone who is having a tough time at the minute, ttc can be really hard going. Congratulations to those of you who have got your BFPs so far, I’m hoping to see more from everyone this month!

Ellamaee · 15/11/2024 08:01

How’s everyone doing this morning ? 6dpo today and it feels like it’s dragging in 😭

Confusedmermaid1 · 15/11/2024 08:05

I’ll be seeing some of you in the December thread as AF has come today.. got a phone call with my GP Monday as we are approaching a year TTC, 2 losses and my LP is only 9/10 days.. don’t know if anything will come from it as I booked it a month ago online so no receptionist to refuse it 😅

Aw I’m sorry 😢 praying the next cycle is your cycle and I hope your appointment goes well x

🤣🤣🤣 it feels like it doesn’t it ? Longest 2 weeks of my life

Ndmor · 15/11/2024 09:32

MoonDaydream · 12/11/2024 17:01

Congratulations @Ndmor, so pleased for your positive test!
Thats good to hear you can have an early scan at 7/8 weeks. I really hope I’ll be offered something similar (found out about my MC at 12 week scan, it would be hell waiting 12 weeks for a scan again)

I've had some spotting and cramping this morning. Very mild but I feel like I just know its not going to continue.... Good luck to you all!

LolaJ87 · 15/11/2024 09:51

I'm 3 DPO and this is far too TMI, but I think I have thrush. Not the kind of symptom spotting I want to be doing!

@Ndmor don't count yourself out yet, both those things are common in early pregnancy x

Inked1518 · 15/11/2024 09:52

@Confusedmermaid1 sorry to hear that! You might see me over there 😂
AF not due for another 3 days but not even a faint line on any tests yet so I'm not holding out much hope.
I was super silly and checked my cervix (which I know can't prove anything) but it was so high I could barely touch it.
I'm still getting headaches, sore boobs (which I never get with AF), cramping, stretchy/creamy CM and yesterday I went to bed at 7pm. I was exhausted!
So holding on to a sliver of hope but it's not much anymore :/

@Ellamaee it's the longest isn't it?! I keep telling myself to just wait until AF is actually late and test which is only 4 days away and that is even killing me lol! Due on the 18th but praying it doesn't show!
