Hi Everyone!!!

I am 8dpo trying for baby number 2 after a miscarriage on my birthday in April. Only our second cycle trying since. I was too traumatized by the experience but I'm hoping for tons of baby dust this month for myself as well as for all of you.

Am I the only one that obsesses over everything that could possibly be a symptom? Haha ???????? I'm trying not to but we want baby #2 so bad. If I cough while walking up the steps I'm like yup, that's a symptom something is happening. J/K

But all jokes aside I was a tad concerned because out of no where I got a horrible cold the day after I o'd so now I'm wondering if it could impact things and I might be out this month. I literally took a nap and woke up sick. Low temp fever, sniffles and sneezing. It's not even fall, much less winter yet.

Anyone else had this experience?

I have a cold too and was actually told it can be a symptom good luck!!!!

Thank you!! And have you tested as yet?Hoping for a healthy positive for you.

I tested yesterday at 7-8 dpo and could not see anything was not morning urine. Going to test tomorrow morning before work. I will keep you all posted. You know for the live of me I cannot remember the symptoms I had with my first so of coursethinking everything is a sign too lol

I wish I could remember as well @muffin595

But no stressing because each pregnancy can be different.

I'm in a panic because I'm cramping this morning and I feel a bit wet but I'm no where near a bathroom as I'm on my way to work.

Only 9dpo and AF isn't supposed to show her ugly face until next week.

Back in the ttc game after a chemical last cycle. I've heard lots of success stories following chemicals so here's to hoping! I'll be using opks. But not testing until 2 days after a missed period.

Good luck @Espence and question ladies. Is it possible to have a chemical pregnancy and not know?

@ MiracleMandy where you able to find a washroom LOL hope you made it to work ok.

Tested this morning but doing all my calculations I am only 9po today so still going to wait, AF is supposed to be Saturday, got bloated stomach, BBS are super sore today and tender to the touch and the frequent bathroom trips every 2 hours almost are getting a little repetitive :) Still crossing fingers and toes that all is good, but will know soon I guess.

@Espence Good Luck and no sorry I don't know that answer either... I guess it has a different flow than normal is later than when your AF is supposed to be and clots I am assuming would be more prominent... but that is just my guess.

@MiracleMandy Defiitely possible to have a chemical pregnancy and not know. If you don't test early, you wouldn't know. Last month I had faint positives at 10 and 11 dpo but then AF still showed up on time so had I not tested so early, I wouldn't have known for sure. I had some symptoms but with those early symptoms you never know if they are PMS or pregnancy. And AF was on the heavier side but that's not very usual for me.
@Espence sorry again about your CP. for June baby. I have read a lot of success stories of BFPs the cycle after a CP too

@Espence So sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy, that has to be disappointing. Good luck and extra baby dust this month!

Today is finally the last day of my period but I won't O for another 10-12 days. Looking forward to seeing everyone's tests and updates this cycle!
