5/6dpo trying (and failing) not to symptom spot

[honeygirl]

@kj1 hmmm good question. I have no idea! I wonder the same thing because I always get up around 4 or 5 to pee and then go back to sleep for a few hours. I’m sure one of the other women on the forum could help you! This site is filled with so much knowledge. Sorry I can’t be of my help!

Morning peeps

I'm feeling mega tired but dont have any cramps or boob ache or anything like that really I keep looking down my top to see if they've grown - nope haha

 

[MayBMore]

Still feeling poorly overall so that might be disguising thing I would otherwise notice

 

[MayBMore]

Sorry for the bfn kj but you aren't out till the witch shows so keep testing x

Oops sorry forgot to check back on this post. Amazing that so many of us are cycle buddies. I was going to do my "proper" test on Monday morning but also do a cheeky one on Thursday this week because I think I read that it can detect 4 days before a period is due? Good luck to us all!!!!! Last month my period came on dpo 8 so I'm quite nervous this week. It's not due until dpo 13 (Monday)

 

[kj1]

Good luck ladies! I'm unsure if I'm 9 or 11dpo (different apps giving different ovulation dates) so not too sure when I should test again. Have already sown the seed with my friend RE: the 'antibiotics' story for Saturday, LOL thanks @honeygirl!

 

[honeygirl]

@sylva I think I’ll end up doing some cheeky tests too, but trying to hold strong for now

@kj1 nice that you’ve already planted that seed! hopefully it works out and you end up with your bfp before the weekend

How are we doing today ladies? @kj1 @honeygirl

On the whole I feel good, couple of light cramps now and then, no spotting or anything... have a weird bloated feeling in vicinity of my uterus but I’m not sure if that in my head ��

I need to purchase some tests in next few days ready for Monday, which should I get and where from? What details am I looking for so I get ones with a good level of sensitivity?

Hey...just popping in as happened upon this thread. Get first response early response (frer) as they are super reliable. Avoid any blue dye tests til after your af due date.

To the people wondering about tempting, yes, having woken in the night can invalidate your morning temp, so the lady that temper at 4am and 7am...count your 4am as more accurate. I ended up not telling though. Early testing, I could not avoid but I was glad to know when I had chemicals as it reassured me that sperm and egg were at least meeting. I could never have coped with the anxiety and stress of monitoring and analysing temps though. Stress is the enemy in ttc so I avoided tempting like the plague, lol.

Hope you all have BFP's around the corner. Xxx

Oh...and symptom spotting, yes, there are a few things that were always really early indicators for me.

Lots of mild cramping, nothing like at cramping, but a general awareness that my uterus was there, especially in the evenings from around 5-6dpo. Lots more belching than usual, heartburn and sore boobs.

Interestingly, the month I did get my bfp, all these and more symptoms disappeared after my missed period. In the other cycles and in my chemicals, I seemed to carry on with different symptoms randomly through the cycle. Xx

Thanks @_GG_ I’ll look for them, think it’ll need to be Boots as I havent seen the red tests on supermarket shelves in the UK

 

[kj1]

Well ladies, I think I’m out for this month Temps have been slowly declining and today has dipped quite dramatically at 12dpo so not feeling particularly hopeful...thing AF must be on her way. Onto the next cycle I go! Best of luck to you all, will be keeping my eye on this thread in the hope of some good news!

@_GG_ thanks for the temp advice - will work this way moving forward

@welshgirl no matter what, just get a pink dye test and not a blue dye test. I live in Sweden and they basically only sell clearblue here and I can't tell you how frustrating it is! Evaps are really common on those.

@kj1 ugh sorry to see your temp fall! You're still above cover line, maybe it's just implantation? I understand your disappointment.

I'm feeling ok today. Still have cramping which makes me believe it's something else as this is the 3rd day I've had it. I have a headache and my breasts are killing me. I also have that "full uterus" feeling like you @welshgirl. Hoping for the best but starting to doubt myself...

@honeygirl I basically think my ‘full uterus’ feeling last night is just madness, we’ll see though... I had a slightly creamy cm this morning which is kinda new... not had any for a few days... I will search for a red test later but they are like non existent here...

@kj1 don’t count yourself out till AF shows up, I have everything crossed for you x

 

[Sylva]

I got AF today

Good luck to the rest of you! Wishing you positive tests on Monday! X

@welshgirl could be totally in my head for me as well. i've been awake for 2 hours and peed 5 times already. that happened to me last time i got a BFP. UGH so tired of symptom spotting. no matter how much i tell myself i'm not going to do it, it gets worse and worse every cycle!

@sylva oh no!! sorry to hear that FX for next cycle. CD1 is not fun, but it also brings hope for next cycle! try and enjoy yourself and relax before the dreaded 2ww comes back xx

I was peeing a lot a few days ago which is weird, as I often forget to drink anything... more symptom spotting, I totally need to stop!

 

[MayBMore]

Sorry to hear about the witch Sylva x

I've got heartburn and a full uterus feeling but I am mega bloated so could be that

 

[honeygirl]

i don't feel that bloated until i look in the mirror and see a gut that wasn't there before!
