TWW - Testing 21st to 31st July

[BowPeep]

BowPeep - did your obgyn instruct you to take it on a full stomach? If so, I'm sure if you take it with food, whether or not it's a lot, it should be okay. I guess it's better than no food at all. I tend to take mine before I go to bed

It's a general store bought option under the advisement of the family planning doctor- not at the OBGYN stage yet. The box say only to be taken with food, but the inner sheet says full stomach :S

Ladies... any symptoms? I do seem to be quite twingey... I know I am just over thinking it all but imagining it means something... Only 3(ish) DPO today, so of course its all in my head. lol.

 

[Webby]

No symptoms really - occasionally I get the odd cramp or bit of backache and yesterday I had warm breasts. My temps are weird but I'm putting that down to the estrogen and progesterone meds I'm on. Hoping to get a phone call today or tomorrow to confirm that I actually ovulated! Eek

 

[HPmum2B]

Ooo do keep us posted webby!!

 

[Webby]

Never heard back about my blood tests - and now it's the weekend. If I did ovulate and I'm guessing I'm 11dpo today. My sore boobs woke me up at 4am and I couldn't get back to sleep because they were so painful. The pain has come and gone throughout the day. I'm too scared to look too much into it though as ive heard some people get sore breasts before AF. I'll keep you posted.
How is everyone else doing?

 

[BowPeep]

I have no idea if i have symptoms or if I'm just ill right now. Been getting progressively worse since 2dpo.
Currently 6-7dpo and I am peeing every hour or so, my temp is up to 37.57 (although it dipped a day or so ago and then shot back up. OPK was negative), I have pretty bad gas and I'm constantly burping, and I currently have very bad cold/flu symptoms. My nose is like a mucus factory and my throat is so sore I lost my voice last night. I am exhausted and slept 12 hours last night.

 

[Webby]

Oh no you poor thing. I hope you're feeling better soon! Xx

 

[BowPeep]

Thank you Hun. Been to docs today and I have an upper respitory infection but he has told me to take a test tomorrow because he thinks it will be positive

 

[CeriB]

Can I join you lovely ladies?! I'm due to test from 29th July if AF doesn't show. Good luck and baby dust to all!

 

[Mexx]

I've had a frozen embryo transfer today and my test date is 27th July. Eek! Just want to fast forward time now x

 

[Webby]

BowPeep, he might be right as apparently it's not uncommon to get sick when you're first pregnant. Fingers crossed!!!

Welcome Mex and Ceri B. Hoping this is your cycle. It's always nice to have someone to share the TWW with.

I had a battle with myself whether to test today or not. I chose not to. I'm going to try and get through the weekend and then maybe test on Mon or Tues (if AF doesn't show) because then it will be 14dpo estimated ovulation. Boobs are tender today but nowhere near as painful as they were yesterday

 

[CeriB]

With my DD, my first symptom was sickness! I had no clue I was pg until it clicked I had morning sickness. Good luck!!

 

[BowPeep]

Just had very light pink spotting which is not normal for me.

Oh wow, that sounds really good. Do keep us posted!! Fingers crossed!!

Oh Webby, you are a stronger woman than I am. I have lots of internet cheapies, because I know I will start testing way too early!

 

[Webby]

Hehe - I've only got one test in the house so I don't want to waste it. Been feeling a bit nauseous later on today and have had twinges down below. I'm also aware that I'm on various hormones so it could be those that are causing the symptoms.

CeriB - how early on did you get morning sickness?

 

[Webby]

BowPeep - hoping that's implantation!

 

[Webby]

Just started spotting myself - too late for implantation bleeding so it looks like I'm out

 

[BowPeep]

BFN this morning, but if I'm only implanting now it makes sense not to get a positive yet. Will test again next week.

 

[CeriB]

I was less than 4 weeks when it first came on, I was on my honeymoon and couldn't test for another 9 days. When I did test the clear blue said 4+ weeks and I was dated at about 6weeks when I saw a doctor 2 weeks later. That said I always get sickness the day before AF is due too. It's more nauseous than physical tho.

Anyone experience ovulation pinching/cramps? Do they tend to occur on the day of O? Sorry if tmi, but, I've had EWCM full on from Tuesday to Friday, then yesterday it was medium amount but I got pinching /cramping in left side yesterday. I was also so hot yesterday, I more or less sweated all day! That's not massively uncommon for me though! I'm a human radiator! We BD Wednesday and Friday this week thinking I would O during EWCM but even if I O yesterday, swimmers would still be present won't they? I don't temp yet, but if I'm still ttc October I will start.

 

[Webby]

CeriB - yes you can feel a pinching pain sometimes when you ovulate. My friend suffers from it quite bad. Get some BD in!

BowPeep - sorry about BfN, but you're not out yet. Wait a few days and test again.

As for me, I expected to see AF in full flow this morning but when I woke up there was NOTHING! Not even when I wiped. I was either 11/12dpo yesterday. I'll see what happens today. I'm going to try distract myself so I don't go crazy....
