I’m sure if I were pregnant i would have SOME inkling by now ... but nothing.
Definitely out. Probably for the best

Honestly hun I've seen ladies that really thought they were totally out get their BFP and it's normally been the cycle they had no pms

Me!!! I thought this lol. I was ntnp and when AF didn't show i put it down to my odd cycles and working long hours. I did a test just to shut my sister up lmao and a blazing positive appeared! I had absolutely no symptoms at all, other than MIA period, which is nothing out of the ordinary for me. My cycles do as they please

So, your not out until the witch arrives. For some people, they have blazing obvious symptoms and for others, they don't, and each pregnancy is also different. Hugs hun, this ttc business is emotionally exhausting, isn't it?!

Yea I've seen it happen to a few people in my.time.

Thanks, ladies.

I guess it's hard when I got such a clear and early positive with DS so early, and even knowing I was pregnant before the test, and now I'm just sitting here with what must be normal AF symptoms. The only clear symptoms I had with DS were not sleeping well before the BFP and being extremely tired afterwards. Everything else like sore BBs, urinating etc came later.

I'm testing every morning like an obsessive and just getting stark whites.

I know it's only the first month but after seeing so many women on here go through agonising months and months of waiting and disappointment, I guess I'm just a bit anxious about TTC and whether or not it's something that will happen for us as easily as it did with DS. I don't think I can do this month after month it's torture.

I'm in half a mind to give up on OPKs and thinking about it and just focus on getting healthy and BDing for fun and seeing what happens between now and Christmas, but at the same time I want to make sure I'm catching that eggy!

If AF does arrive it's just a minor setback, as you say, it's only your first month ttc. It is a huge disappointment when AF does arrive, but you quickly get over it and focus on the next cycle. I was convinced I was going to get my BFP last cycle (first month ttc) and when AF arrived I was so upset, but then I reality checked myself, unlikely that it would happen first time. When i ttc my daughter 6-7 years ago i was lucky and got BFP on 2nd cycle, would love that to be the case this time, but i know realistically as i'm a bit older (34) it might take longer. I'm very impatient, so I am already struggling with all the waiting around, but it's out of my hands.

Wishing you lots of luck with your ttc journey! x

Thanks for the words of advice, Em.
& I'm so sorry to those who have been TTC for ages who want to slap me in the face. I totally get it. I don't know what's going on with my mood the last few days but I do need a serious reality check

Going to try better to keep my stress about it all down, and just go with it all.
Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon, Em!

Congratulations Coles! Let's hope this keeps up for us in September thread

Just hang in there hun, this journey drives us all insane. I could have cried last cycle as I was sure I would get my BFP but instead I got AF but I gave myself a check and realized i get another fertile window in august which is more chances for a not june baby this is our 4th cycle now

 

[Vintageling]

For those who have the visit of AF come and visit this witch in the September thread and I will get you on the list and send tons of baby

 

[Sjf0709]

CD20 for me. Not sure if I’ve ovulated this month or not, had negative OPKS and my temps haven’t elevated but had lower back ache for 3 days now and I’ve started to feel nauseous. Clutching at straws I know but got to stay positive. I’ve felt so down these last few days over my temps and OPKs it’s not been good for me...

Loving seeing the BFPs coming through. Let’s hope the baby continues to spread for the rest of the month x

 

[Stacey89]

Ok guys.. help needed!!
This morning i had bleeding (very pinky and only a tiny bit when i wiped) and nothing since so either AF is on the way or im still in the game??

 

[Vintageling]

Your still the the game Stacey could be implantation how many dpo are you

 

[firstfreakout]

I agree with Vintageling.. it doesn't mean you're out unless your proper flow starts! How many DPO are you/days until period is due?


So this evening I've been getting aches in my boobs and the veins are more visible on them (but I'm as pale as a vampire so they're usually preeeetty visible anyway!). This is totally not normal for pre-AF/post Ov... I've also made two different dinners and couldn't eat either of them because they just didn't do it for me so just had a yoghurt. oops.
I'm not really in to symptom spotting because if you want it to be there it will find a way to manifest itself, but along with the cramps since Ov, these are really standing out to me. Could be anything though tbf.

Oh and I've been breaking out in spots on my face and back since Ov. I've been using the Proactiv+ system since the beginning of the year so my skin is usually clear and bright. It currently is neither of those things. Grr.

With my first pregnancy, the only symptom I had that made me want to test a week early was not being able to settle at night and feeling like I was getting electric shocks in my arms and shoulders while trying to go to sleep...

 

[Stacey89]

14 days DPO x
