R u testing April 22-26th join me on this thread

[justthestart]

Hi Ladies,

Can I join in on this thread? I am TTC after 3 months off the pill. Period cycles are long at the moment, about 40 days each. I tried my first month of OPK's, and they told me I had a surge on Sun 11th...so I don't know when that means I would have ovulated but we BD'ed on the Sun, Mon and Tues just to cover it!!!

I am guessing I am around 3 or 4 DPO, so will probs test around the 26th or 27th.

I am driving myself crazy thinking about possible signs, even though in my head I know I am being irrational, as if they would be showing up this early!

The main thing is I am so so so bloated, like I have a proper round tummy today....and just feel bloated. I don't normally get it that badly, but then I guess I wouldn't really know as I have only been off my BCP three months. Has anyone else got this? My tummy is literally round...

TMI alert......I have also been having abdominal pains, just shooting pains on and off, but I also think I am a little constipated (I get that quite a bit) and now I am not sure whether this would be causing the pain?!!! Anyone else know anything about it??

Anyway hello, and BFP's for us all this month xx

I gave in and tested at 10 and 12 dpo - . I'm now 13dpo and feeling very negative - I don't feel like it will ever be my month.
To make it worse, I overheard a conversation at work that makes me think another colleague is pregnant.

On the plus side we met with our agent tonight to discuss options for trying to push the sale of our house. Hopefully we'll get a buyer soon and I can start looking for a home with room for us, the pups and a decent nursery!

I feel very low right now - and sick of stomach cramps and painful headaches.

Hi Big Plans,

Sorry to hear you are feeling down, but hey your not out until AF appears, maybe you just tested too early? x

It's not over 'til the witch shows. I know how hard it is to stay positive.

Sorry to hear that you are so down Big Plans, I which u the best try to be positive like the others said it's not over until the witch rides in on her broom.....stay positive sweetie and try to wait it out ...hpoefully u tested too early.

and to us all!!!!

 

[cjbeard08]

hey big plans! you'll make it when its your time. your probably just stressing over selling your house, so stay calm and thing will work out. its amazing what a positive attitude can achieve!

Wannababy2love, thanks for all the help! DH and i decided that if we dont get a bfp this month then we are going to start tracking af a little bit closer. this was our first month trying, so we are just trying to stay positive.

wishing everyone lots of baby dust and BFP's this month!

 

[cjbeard08]

oh! and justthestart, i hear you on the bloating! ive been bloated all day...im 3 dpo right now, weird twinges in my breasts (sorry for the tmi...) and slight nausea everytime i eat...ill be testing about the same time as you so hopefully we'll both get our BFP's together!

 

[selina22]

sorry you are feeling down bigplans as everyone says your not out till the witch gets u
im 6dpo and weeing alot more have af cramps since 4dpo so i feel af is on her way but who knows fx all x

 

[xLauraLoo]

oh bigplans it's not over till the witch shows x

I've been driving myself crazy. I had a bit of EWCM around the day of ov, but on wednesday I had one big.. blob? (sorry tmi!) of EWCM despite the fact i thought i was 7dpo and had been cramping for days. So maybe I ov'd twice, but this morning I got some more EWCM and I'm so confused! I've also been having quite watery and creamy cm.

So I think I could be 10dpo, as I've got crazy backache, cramps, bloatedness and a whole host of other 'symptoms'. But I could only be 3dpo, or maybe I'm only just oving.

gahhhhhh
I hate this so much! I just want to be pregnant already

 

[mrskcbrown]

Big plans Im still holding out hope for your BFP!!!

Im 5dpo and the wait is killing me. I want to test next saturday but only if my temp stays up. Every morning I hate to see the temp because Im so afraid it will go down. Oh well gotta find something else to do to keep me occupied until I test.

Good luck ladies!

 

[cjbeard08]

xLauraLoo, I hear ya on wanting to be preggers already. This waiting game is driving me crazy. im only 4 dpo, but my cm just stopped showing up yesterday. but with that came my bloatedness and nausea. hopefully that doesnt mean AF is on her way. how long is your cycle, if you dont mind me asking.

 

[Hopeful]

Hi ladies,

How is everyone holding out??? This wait is crazy - 8 DPO for me and trying to convince myself not to start testing!!!

I keep looking at my chart and analyzing everything. It's my first month charting so I'm just starting to get the hang of it.

to everyone!

 

[BigPlans2010]

I'm feeling better today. I've seen an opportunity to earn lots more money in the city. Sooo if I get my then yay - I'll stay in my current job and once I've done three months back there, I'll look to go then. If I don't, I'll try for this one and put TTC on hold for a few months until I was secure in the job.

It would be double what I'm earning now so I could afford to go mad in Mamas and Papas!

Hi Hopeful,

WOW that's a long cycle you have going on there! It looks good so far that your temperatures are remaining high.

to you!

I'm a short cycle (23 days) so I have only 9-10 days before ovulation occurs.

[xLauraLoo]

how long is your cycle, if you dont mind me asking.

well for the last couple of months it's been bang on 28 days, but anything up to about 32 is normal. And plus I think I might have ov'd twice this cycle, I don't know when to expect AF at all!

Have you been having any other symptoms?
to you!

 

[cjbeard08]

xLauraLoo,
that is true about it being normal, but it could definetly throw you for a loop when trying to test. Good luck and keep us posted if you find anything else. would you be ok with twins if you did ovualte twice and both were conceived? I would test on the first day of your normal cycle and then a week later if you get a bfn. The only symptoms that i have been having, or at least things that i have noticed, are heaviness in my lower abs, increased nasuea (like now), and having to use the restroom every 2 hours. My breasts (sorry...tmi) were tingling and sore a little yesterday but that went away and hasnt returned. I cant decide if they are preg symptoms or af symptoms as this is my first cycle with out BC....this can be so confusing!

Baby dust to you and hopes of a BFP!!

oh tell me about it! i'm so confused it's untrue. Jesus, if I happened to be graced with twins.. that'd be a miracle. But I don't know if I could quite cope with 2!! I can tell the next few weeks will be very stressful for us both.

I hear the nausea.. I went out to eat today, had a salad with coleslaw (I LOVE coleslaw, have a unhealthy obession with it haha) and I just couldn't finish it. The coleslaw was making me gip so much, I think if i'd try to finish it I might have puked everywhere. Smells are really intense too.. so we'll just have to see!

[cjbeard08]

haha...side comment, i love coleslaw too! ...well, if you are preggers with 2 then your symptoms would come on sooner. your body would need more HCG to help them along. but even if you werent and your roughly 10 dpo, then that would be about when your symptoms would start to show, and when hoping for a bfp, nausea would be a good thing! When are you looking to test? Im hoping for your BFP! AF is do to arrive on the 26th for me, but dh and i cant wait that long to test so we are goign to try on the 23rd. we probably wont see anything, but we are crossing all fingers and toes for a bfp.

This is my first month as well to chart and I keep looking at it over and over like its changing. Your chart looks great for a BFP!. FxD

 

[parkgirl]

I'm jealous of all of you who are able to chart their temps. My sleep schedule is so crazy that I've never been able to get it to work right. I'm up at 3 am some mornings and not until 8 am others.

I had some cramping last night and a good deal of EWCM. Not normal for me past ovulation day. I'm about 6dpo. I feel tired today, but I've also been working in the garden.

Is anyone trying preseed, SMEP or OPK's this month?
