In a way I was lucky as by the time I actually struggled to get pregnant again I already had a few kids so people just assumed I was done and didn't ask. I also had my first 2 within 2 years so again no pressure from people to have another so he had a "play mate"
What I did get last time though was people assuming the pregnancy was a surprise as we had a much bigger gap. We were actually over the moon after 3.5 years of ttc and a loss.

8dpo today.

I’m exhausted. I didn’t really sleep last night so that might be why. Insomnia and tiredness are both big symptoms for me BUT I’ve also had them a few non pregnant months around this point.
Ny nipples are pretty sensitive. Bad enough to make me think hmmm, but not bad enough to make me dive up and test.
I’ve also been really sensitive to smell for a few days now, which isn’t usual. It comes and goes - I was doing the dishes and could smell the drain, I swear my dog smells (she’s not a smelly breed) and I can smell perfume on my clothes which have been through the wash and hung up since last wear.
I did quite a lot of walking yesterday and my whole body hurts. The walking isn’t unusual for me - we normally do a big walk two days per week - but muscle pain from walking is. It almost feels like a flu, it’s not just my legs which hurt, my abs hurt, my arms hurt, my upper and lower legs hurt. It feels like maybe I’ve done a HIIT class or something rather than just running errands. I didn’t have bags or anything (although I did have the dog on her lead and she sometimes pulls) so idk why my arms hurt so much. I did get blood taken yesterday.

@Lozb Last year I kept needing to miss work for appointments with a fertility specialist and I had a coworker that started the suspect I was pregnant because of my constant doctor’s appointments. After he spent a while talking about how he was sure I was pregnant and that’s why I was always at the doctor (despite me assuring him I was not), I said ‘I’ve actually been to the doctor so much because I can’t get pregnant.’ It shut him up quickly and you could tell he felt super uncomfortable. I don’t mind talking about struggling to get pregnant or having miscarriages so it doesn’t bother me that he knows. I just needed him to stop thinking I was pregnant because that hurt more than talking about the truth of it.

yeh my reply is always we are trying and then inform people how long it took us with my son.

So ladies yesterday morning had static smile on cb, OPK ended up positive ish on afternoon. I have tested today with OPK to check getting lighter but they are massively darker. Now dnt have a clue if yesterday was peak or today.
First is yesterday afternoon and then second is just now today at 10.30am

@Teafor2 don’t lose hope for this cycle yet hun! 12-13dpo is only 85% chance of a positive... 15% of pregnant women don’t get a positive yet. My positives for my successful pregnancies have been at 14-16dpo! Implantation can happen as late as day 12 and I swear I see the slightest catch on your FMU test. What does it look like now, a few hours dry?

@ciz that looks like the start of a lovely BFP. Stick little bean x

It doesn’t really matter, sperm lives for 3-5 days (or even longer) so you are covered either way.

Sorry that happened, that would bother me a lot... Assuming someone's pregnant and repeating it over and over when the person is telling you she is not, seems rude and insensitive

I’ll take a picture when I get home. It was just already showing up darker than this the past two months so I feel like it should show up by now.

You'd think so, but bodies are so confusing, and those were both chemicals. My chemical I got my positive on CD24. My 3 pregnancies which have gone past 6 weeks, I got my very faint positives on CD30-32. You never know.

I see that jessie!

7 or 8 dpo for me today and another bfn on a pregmate to go with it. Minus the cramping I had I have no other symptoms really. Hoping to see something on my test in the next few days but idk. Feeling like I might need a little break next month. No opks no scheduling sex just a laid back month all the ttc stuff is starting to get heavy

I had 3 days of peak opk this cycle. I had a quick google during this time and most said to go by the first day. Also this cycle I didn’t use sperm friendly lube. But if you managed to dtd at least once in ewcm they live for a while. Keeping everything crossed for you XX

Hopefully you’ll have your bfp this cycle so won’t need to worry about opks but yes I totally get that feeling but I find it so difficult to not think about it.
