I have af like cramps! I started off with some mild cramping last night it felt like it was in my back and it’s the same this morning! Agh.. I guess there’s always next cycle!

Thats the only thing I had before my BFP, back aches. Good luck

Just took an OPK, haven't taken one since 5pm yesterday and its now 7.46am here, its a strong positive.

we BD early hours today, when is it likely I will ovulate? Hopefully its enough!

when the pregnancy test dried last night,
You could see the line was a shadow on the side of a ghost line (where the line test line was)

so looks like late ovulation! Xx

Need some advice: I haven't gotten a period since July 13th, I have irregular cycles and we are taking the "go with the flow" approach....so my question would be is, since I have gotten my period and it will be 6 weeks this upcoming Monday, should I call the doctor or just go with the flow and see what happens.

A look back at this cycle, it was normal....I don't feel different at all, nor do I feel AF is coming (usually I get crampy the day before), I have had crampy days but AF still didn't show up.

At this point I would love for AF to come so I can go for the next cycle

Is there any chance I could still be pregnant, and not show a positive yet!

You say you have irregular cycles - is this cycle much longer than normal? I have had irregular cycles all my life, and I know what you mean about just wanting af to come. It’s a real pain not ever knowing for sure what is going on or when is the best time. Recently I had 4 cycles of 35 days and thought I was”cured”! But then my last cycle I didn’t ovulate until day 48!

Do you know when, or if, you ovulated? If yes and it’s longer than 14 days after ovulation then get in touch with your dr if hpt is negative.

But if you haven’t ovulated yet and if very irregular cycles are your norm, I’d say just ride it out. But if this is longer than ever before contact your dr

Morning everyone. I’m now 5DPO (I’ll drive everyone mad with my daily DPO updates) Nothing much to report here except needed to pee twice in the night and slightly achey hips?? Do have a few other ‘symptoms’ but they are usual at this point in my cycle.

How is everyone doing today?

Last night I was going to clean my bathroom, and it smelled so bad in there I almost threw up. I asked my husband to check it out and he couldn't smell anything. Very suspicious!! I'll test tmrw morning (10dpo)! I also have a headache this morning. During my last pregnancy I was nauseated the entire 38weeks and had migraines constantly. I hope that these horrible symptoms are not for nothing lol

 

[Bevziibubble]

@autumnal that's a good sign!!

 

[doggylover]

Sounds like some promising signs, @autumnal

@Deethehippy i swear I needed to pee more in my tww before this bfp, so fingers crossed!

 

[autumnal]

Hopefully it can be difficult to remember what is a normal AF symptom, because I never pay much attention to that, lol!

@doggylover congratulations on your pregnancy!! Hooray for #4!

Hehe I am old so I often need to pee more but hopefully it means something

I have seen a lot of people say their first symptom was being very thirsty and having to pee constantly. So I hope it means good things for you!

I always have to pee as well. Small bladder club lol.

Thank you. Your symptoms do sound promising, I had heightened smell and felt sick over certain things on my chemical cycle at 9DPO..it did end as a chemical obviously but I had some real pregnancy symptoms for a few days. Wishing you good luck for when you test.

Well the only regular cycles I have had were on birth control...when I'm off birth control they are irregular...I have no idea if I even ovulated or nothing. I think like you mentioned I am going to ride it out, maybe I ovulated later...I guess we will just see what happens

Hi all

Kksby thank you for thinking of me!

I still haven't had a positive opk or smiley face
The darkest test I have had so far was the evening of the 17th and I had lots of ewcm from about the 15th-18th.
So we did do insems the 15th and 17th to be safe.

But the tests seem to be looking darker again today!!

I have a pelvic ultrasound scan today at 2:40pm because I convinced my GP to check me for PCOS haha. I'm praying they'll be able to tell me if I have alresdy ovulated or if it looks like I'm going to?! But it's not a proper fertility scan so maybe not.

So I could either be 2dpo or still waiting.. watch this space and send me some love. I was so upset and wound up about it last night I cried. This is not healthy for us!

Hugs to you all

Thank you! I know what you mean, I never pay any attention to the nuances before af. I know I get bad skin and that’s it! I actually logged everything this tww in my app just so I would know for the future what was normal and what wasn’t.

Hehe I am old so I often need to pee more but hopefully it means something

you’d think you were about 80 saying that!!!

Well the only regular cycles I have had were on birth control...when I'm off birth control they are irregular...I have no idea if I even ovulated or nothing. I think like you mentioned I am going to ride it out, maybe I ovulated later...I guess we will just see what happens

Sounds just like my cycle. Completely screwed up! If it goes on too long then definitely get checked. I once had a 10 week cycle so got some bloods done (af arrived the next day )

Hey everyone. I'm just dropping by gosh this thread moves so fast it's hard to keep up. 1dpo here, there was me saying we wont try this month, that went out the window haha.

 

[autumnal]

@Mummafrog I hope you get an answer soon!! That sounds frustrating.

Ugh so I’m 5DPT and 4DPO today and I’m constipated bad and gassy and extremely dizzy! Anyone get these symptoms with ovidrel?

edit: now it’s diarrhea ugh

I had exactly that today! - constipated first thing (I always go first thing) and now going lots this afternoon! Maybe it's just common at this stage of TWW?

I had those all yesterday... totally felt like AF was on its way, quite strong too... I don’t think you’re out at all!!

Last night I was going to clean my bathroom, and it smelled so bad in there I almost threw up. I asked my husband to check it out and he couldn't smell anything. Very suspicious!! I'll test tmrw morning (10dpo)! I also have a headache this morning. During my last pregnancy I was nauseated the entire 38weeks and had migraines constantly. I hope that these horrible symptoms are not for nothing lol

Oh that’s a super good sign. My last pregnancy that was my first sign... sense of smell went out of control. I’ve had Covid since and lost my sense of smell almost completely... sad but it might make the pregnancy a bit more bearable!

Kittykat you should start charting/temping if you’re not sure what’s going on. Super helpful if you end up going to a specialist to have those on hand.
