Thanks ELGtrying

I got it of my fertility specialist that I started seeing last Nov 15. GP's wont prescribe it here in England.

I don't check my CP either

I wont be testing until I am sure is late which will be Monday 3/10 I am so boring sorry

7dpo today- still VERYtired- actually had a really good day yesterday- like no symptoms- today tired- low back ache--- almost feels like AF. ????

No I'm not Irish just obsessive!

Well I have been so wiped out today yet have gone to bed and now feel totally wired. Think I am really searching for symptoms. I felt slight nausea after a cup of tea earlier and instantly Googled to see if that was a symptom. I suspect whatever I put into Google would come up as a symptom any way.

It's so weird to think there are others at the exact same phase but reassuring too.

I've not used opk as I thought to start with try to just read the body as our contraception has been the calender method for 3 years so I am good now at predicting ovulation. More interested in temp for the early signs of conception.

I will be so interested to hear if we all start to get more symptoms over the next few days. AF is due on the 1st so I am going to try and hold out until the 3rd to test.

Xxx

I am also now obsessing about the symptoms that are not there. My boobs are fine today and so far no sign of CM. The only difference today is that I have a really spotty chin which is very unusual for me. Goodness are we supposed to enjoy the TWW. Also was given a bottle of wine as a gift yesterday and obviously do not was to drink whilst ttc and I really want it. If AF turns up at least I will have a pick me up.

Just out of curiosity has anyone every bled through ovulation, this month after ttc on several occasions during ovulation I had quite a bit of blood that continued into the next day so had to wear liners. Reading on line it does say that is a good sign but I certainly don't understand how!?!

PrettyGirlRock tired (as much of a pain in the butt as it is) is a great sign :) Have you had any cramps or anything? Have you been sleeping well? When are you due for AF?

Clairede I know , it's so easy to obsess over EVERYTHING. I remember when I was pregnant I was googling every single symptom. I still do it, it's ridiculous
Wow you have great self control to not test until 3rd if no AF. I might try and follow suit but I'm not sure how good I'll be at that. I'm due AF 30th but have already considered testing on Sunday. I'm terrible.
Do your boobs normally get sore before AF? Have you any cramping?
I've never had bleeding with Ovulation but I've heard its a good sign too.

Gemma You're not boring at all :) I think you have mastered this TTC, I have defo given it too much of myself and need to learn to be more like you for my own sanity. still no symptoms today?

AFM, still no symptoms really, not thinking this is our cycle tbh, but that's ok. Will start Clomid on CD1 so... we'll see I haven't been sleeping at all... I woke up fully alert at 3:30am, I'm not sure why that's happening me, is it because I'm stressing TTC? or is there something else going on? I just don't know. I have no CM, CP is mid hard closed. Nothing looking promising for me this cycle.

I'm keeping all you ladies in my prayers and thoughts throughout the day, hoping to see loads of on this forum in the next couple weeks.

8dpo- light cramping in lower abdomen- some pressure- lots of congestion and head ache

AF is due on 29

I normally do get sore books, but not this early. I have just had a bath and doing washing up and have come over really nausas so I'm also hoping that's a good sign also. Last night I had such a vivid dream as well about family that I have never met only seen pics of that live in Australia which was weird. Finally checked my cervix although have to confess have never done so before so could be totally normal for me and could literally only just reach it. I'm feeling very positive but afraid to let myself run away with it as I don't want the disappointment. The reason I am waiting is my AF is not always like clockwork sometimes I can have a cycle for 30 days but it has been as long as 38 so is pretty insane really.

How long have you been trying for if you are going to use clomid? Also some people do not get a single symptom so your not out of the race until AF comes to town.

@clairede89 if you want to BBT it is best to do it first thing when you wake up. They say when your core temp is lowest, so right after you wake up before getting up or even sitting up. So even if you do shift work, just do it right when you get up and as long as around same time of day, you should be fine :-)

@ELGtrying we are going to full on start in November we are just sorta getting cycles figured out and if it happens, it happens :-) but technically this is 1st month I guess. I just had surgery in July because I had an IUD migration, ugh... Well I ended having a chemical pregnancy, prior in the month, to surgery because we didn't realize I wasn't protected... Btw your rib really doesn't need birth control, in case anyone was wondering... Ha-ha

I am 9dpo today, same pressure, etc as when I found out I was pregnant couple months ago, just less intense. So fingers crossed!

How are all of you feeling? It was definitely much easier to be surprised like with my son, no obsessing or anything, it was more of in shock and denial lol!

Also, af is due on the 30th for me, I usually have 27 day cycles, at least past few have been.
