Well scientifically I think it's at implantation so 6 days+ however as ttc'rs like to disregard science in favour of what we want to hear I would say go ahead!

I am 8dpo and going crazy :)

Thanks ImpatientOne, I haven't actually had any symptoms yet, lol, I just wanted to know when I might start keeping a look out! Wink 8 DPO? I'm jealous, you're that bit closer, haha! Good luck!

I'm not even sure I've ovulated yet & already I'm on the lookout Confused but by telling myself I'm on the lookout for signs of ov rather than pg, I feel a little less bonkers...

But scientifically speaking, the pg hormones can physically only get into your bloodstream at implantation, so 6 day+ as ImpatientOne said.

Chunky chicken, I used the cheapy OPKs from Amazon, they really helped me pin point ovulation along with recording my temps! I got so excited when I got my temp rise on Sunday morning, pathetic I know! Grin

About 9 days. Anything before that is most likely more in your head than anything else.

I had no symptoms whatsoever and a BFP both times so don't despair. Grin

The only time I ever get pregnancy symptoms is when I'm not pregnant Wink

1st month ttc for me after losing baby in dec so I'm desperate for it to happen quick.

Using opk for the first time and got my + yest so dh never got much sleep last night (and is on strict orders that he better be back for lunch today)

The 2ww has not even started for me yet!

Around day 9 but that was because I was pregnant with twins so had slightly higher hormone levels. Day 11 had a BFP.

Thanks Lolalotta for the advice - trying to avoid the OPKs yet as only 2nd mth of TTC our 2nd, & didn't have to 'try' for DD!!

Don't think I'll be able to temp either, as that relies on having a regular wake up time & 3hrs undisturbed sleep - not always possible with a 21mo!!

Sticking with cycle/symptom tracking for the time being, because we know we can conceive, so it should happen in due course...

Hey Chunky, it's only our 2nd month of trying for number two too. Regarding the OPKs/ temps i'm just really impatient, lol, and all of a sudden have decided I want to be pregnant RIGHT NOW, haha! It took us three months first time round. I have only just finished breast feeding my 25 month old last week so am hoping my cycle sorts itself out ASAP ( my last one was 40 days long Angry) I ovulated on CD 15 this time though so things could be looking up in terms of my cycle length. Is your 21 month old still getting you up a lot in the night?
