[MyGardenDaisies]

Hey! Making a space for those that are :

• starting to TTC in December
• also had a negative in November and preparing to try again
• trying in November and will be testing in December

all welcome! 🤗

Hope we all get a BFP! x

Morning ladies

I’ve been having very vivid dreams in the last few days which is unusual of me - not sure if that’s a thing?

I don't want to get your hopes up but that was pretty much my only symptom when I was pregnant with my little boy! Crazy vivid dreams which I rarely get!

How odd to have cramping for so long! Do you usually get tender boobs and cramping before AF?

I’ve got everything crossed for you 🤞 definitely likely to be too early to get BFP so there’s still a chance ☺️

I’m 8DPO today… only symptom still is just full/heavy boobs. I also have a slight cold but so has the whole house so I’m not taking that as a sign 😅 usually my boobs would be sore by now and i would have had a headache but i’m just counting myself lucky that I haven’t got those symptoms this month and i’m trying desperately not to read into it 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

Keeping my fingers crossed for you too! I was very crampy the first trimester of my last pregnancy but even though I've had all boys they have all been different in their own way.

I haven't had regular periods for years but normally it was back ache and a spot on my chin each month that would happen right before!

Can anyone recommend any natural conception vitamins please?

Oh that’s interesting. Hopefully it is a sign 🤞 did it feel like normal AF cramping in your last pregnancy? It’s funny how a lot of people experience different pregnancies each time isn’t it!

Let’s hope the spot never arrives then 😅

Oh that’s interesting, we will see I guess. Really trying to manage my expectations without being half glass full if you know what I mean. This is hard 😮‍💨

I use a company called ancient purity. Everything natural.

@Sunch how many DPO are you? I can't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure my dreams started around 7DPO and I got a super faint positive 2 days later. Are you having any other symptoms?? Really hope it's a sign for you!

It is so hard - I'm only 2DPO today so got a few days to go before the symptom spotting and second guessing rollercoaster starts 🙈

CD1, here we go again!!

@MummyV2021 its difficult to say, if you see the post I quoted on 25/11 above, I had a stint of a few positive ovulation tests, so I don’t know which dates to go with. AF is due on 08/12 and apps saying I’m 12DPO today and these dreams started 4 nights ago.

@MummyV2021 im not sure about the symptoms, really trying to ignore to manage my hopes so I don’t really know. My nipples hurt at a point last week and have had lower back pain but like I said not focusing on it, but these dreams are very difficult to ignore, literally all night dream after dream, feels like I’m bingeing on my own series lol.

@Sunch ah that's annoying! Silly bodies hey?! I guess timing wise it checks out then! Have you decided when you're going to test or are you waiting until AF time?

Heheh 2DPO is the sweet spot - can actually relax before the roller coaster begins. Fingers and toes crossed for you x

Hi all, caught last month on our first month TTC, to say we were shocked is an understatement. Unfortunately I had a MC at 5+4. Was on the fence about whether to try again straight away but we decided to crack on - I ovulated CD19 which was later than previous so already thought we were out. Had major cramping 5DPO, whacky dreams, heavy boobs and extreme dizziness. I had a BFP on 7DPO, 10DPO - positive digi. I’m now 13DPO, line progression is great but the anxiety of miscarriage again is real. This has been an emotional rollercoaster and one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through - thinking of every single one of you going through this too ❤️

Morning all! 8DPO today - temperature stayed level with where it's been the past few nights, down from peak at 5DPO but not through the floor as I'd semi-expected which is something. Not really feeling any symptoms at the moment, whether AF or potential pregnancy.

Husband provided his sample for repeat semen analysis this morning - his count and motility were fine last time but morphology was only 2% so hoping to at least hit the baseline minimum of 4% this time with no drop in anything else. I'll feel pretty pissed off if I've been spending £70 a month on supplements for him without it making a shred of difference! Due the call with his results at 12.30 so we will see.

@Sunch - I had really vivid dreams the cycle I got my BFP as well!

Hey! 5 or 6 DPO today. Time is going so slow!!

Hi, TTC #2, on cycle #3. Ovulated on the 21st of Nov and period due between today and Friday (25-28 day cycles). Planning to test over the weekend if AF doesn't arrive but I already feel like I'm out this cycle :(

@MummyV2021 im going to wait for AF to come (if she decides to). If she doesn’t come, I’ll be testing from 14/12. Praying she doesn’t show her annoying face. It’s crazy - I remember there were cycles back in my 20s when I prayed for AF to please show up and now I don’t want nothing to do with her lol. This life will humble you. How about you? You going to test early or wait?

@blackberryhill supplements can take a while to kick in. How long has hubby been on them? Hope your call goes well. Crazy that you also had dreams when you conceived.

Hello 👋 Just popping back in to say I'm now 1/2 DPO. We managed to DTD before Peak day and on Peak day (Saturday) so here's hoping. I have this funny thing though where I get what I can only describe as 'central' pain right after ovulation and it makes me think we're out every time, as the only month I didn't have this was when we got pregnant in June (mc 5 weeks unfortunately). So in my head, when I get it, it means we're out.

Do you guys think that's crazy, am I writing myself off too soon? Maybe it's better to assume you're out anyway and then it's a nice surprise if not :)

Wishing you all so much luck this month!

Is anyone due to be testing soon?

I can’t keep up with the thread and remember where everyone is in their cycle 🤣.

I’m 2dpo. SMEP officially finished (I know it says to dtd at 3dpo but I don’t think I’ll be able to). After DTD 5 times in my fertile week, if this doesn’t work then I don’t know what will 😅. I ordered some of those progesterone tests someone mentioned earlier, so hopefully it confirms I’ve actually ovulated after all this hard work!

Trying to keep positive. And also thinking if it’s not my month again, at least I can have all the Christmas treats 💫

I used Naître when I conceived my daughter, they do a male one too but my partner really didn’t like the taste so he’s using wellman conception tablets this time. I’m using naitre again this time, they do a nice pregnancy vitamin shot too which I somehow managed to take every day despite having HG last time.

I’m ovulating today on CD13 according to my OPKs but chance of us doing anything tonight is slim as my partners absolutely full of the cold. We’ve done it every day since my period finished except last night so hoping we’re still covered. We delayed trying last month because I had the cold, we’ve no luck 😂

I’ve loads of EWMC today, I can’t remember does that mean the eggs already been released or about to happen? Again just hoping there’s a good chance of sperm meeting egg 🤞

I'm due to be testing soon but I have a feeling I'm out this cycle.

@Marie1990x I will test on Tuesday if period is missed

When is your period due? Have you had any symptoms?
