2/3dpo anyone?

[HannahAD]

I’m either 2 or 3 dpo ( 3 days after my peak opks). Anyone else? I’m very emotional today, don’t know if it’s just one of those days or if It’s something else

[A1b2c3d4e5f6g7]

6dpo here, nothing really to report, just waiting it out another week! How are you?

[HannahAD]

Welcome! I’m 7dpo now and feeling some symptoms but not sure if my brain is making them up. Frequent urinate and heart burn and hot flashes. Hopefully it’s our cycle x

[A1b2c3d4e5f6g7]

I've kind of given up symptom spotting, as I have convinced myself I might be pregnant a couple of months now 😂🤣 With my one pregnancy (ended in miscarriage) I was car sick as my only symptom, and that only really started maybe the day before my period was due.

Have you been trying for long? I started in Aug 2020, and this is my fifth proper cycle post miscarriage.

[HannahAD]

Been trying since March 2020. Had a MC in June and have had messed up cycles from stopping the depo

[A1b2c3d4e5f6g7]

Sorry, that's really rubbish, hope you're okay. Totally relate to being emotional, each month that passes I feel a bit more anxious, and the week before my period is the worst!! As you can see, I'm not really that focused on work right now 😂

Did you have symptoms from your last pregnancy before you tested? If you had the same as this, its hopefully positive!

[HannahAD]

Nothing until my missed period, well none that I was aware of (we weren’t TTC when I got pregnant). Every month I convince myself I must be pregnant because I “feel pregnant” and every month I’m not.

Hi @HannahAD and @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I’m
7dpo and wanting a bit of company, hope it’s ok to join. No symptoms here, so just twiddling my thumbs for another week

[HannahAD]

Of course! Welcome. Some people say feeling nothing is a good sign so fingers crossed for you :)

[Wanderdream]

Thanks @HannahAD I’m not too hopeful as for my 2 pregnancies (1 MC and 1 successful) I got the exact same severe bloating pain around 5dpo and nothing yet. However just trying to stay optimistic! Hope you are doing ok post MC x

[A1b2c3d4e5f6g7]

Hi @Wanderdream hello!

[HannahAD]

How long is everyone’s usual cycle?

[A1b2c3d4e5f6g7]

I don't know, its been a bit varied, since I've taken soy isoflavones its gone to 26 days. Was 34 days consistently previously up until end of last year.

How about you?

[HannahAD]

Any where from 26-35 days but always 14 days between ovulation and next period

[Wanderdream]

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I’ve heard of the soy isoflavones but I’m not sure what they’re actually used for?

Cycle is usually between 32 and 35, however last month was 37 and I do occasionally get a 28 day cycle. No idea why it changes! Usually ovulate around day 21/22 (last month it was day 27 though). This month I’ve ovulated very early, around day 14 which has never happened before - almost missed it!

[MoominC]

Hello all hope I'm okay to join in 😊 currently 7dpo and trying for my first. Haven't noticed many symptoms but I did burst into tears at a random YouTube video earlier lol I wouldn't mind but it was even sad 🤣
Sending lots of baby dust your way x

[MoominC]

*wasn't sad that was supposed to be haha

[A1b2c3d4e5f6g7]

@Wanderdream supposedly to strengthen ovulation by increasing estrogen response and bring ovulation forward (depending on what days you take it). It seems to have worked for me so far, but there’s not too much evidence, a lot of its anecdotal from threads here, Babycentre, holistic medicine sites etc. So who can say 🤷‍♀️

@MoominC hello, 7dpo also 😊 when are you planning on testing? I’m hoping to wait till Sunday, but we’ll see

[HannahAD]

I’m already dreading the negative test. I used to be so excited to test but now I sort of dread it

[A1b2c3d4e5f6g7]

@HannahAD I’ve never been excited to test, and my aversion is getting a bit worse I think. Feel it takes away the hope, and it’s likely not accurate before 12dpo anyway so then I have to do another later on anyway!

[Wanderdream]

Hi @MoominC

Yeah also not looking forward to testing anymore. Hoping to last until Monday/Tuesday, there’s a possibility I could come on before then anyway. Not got any tests left and am going to try really hard not to buy any in. If I have them in it’s much harder to resist!

[MoominC]

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I'm hoping to hold out till Sunday/Monday but i will probably not hold out that long lol

I feel lile AF is on its way anyway to be honest so will dont think I will have to wait to know

[HannahAD]

I’m planning on testing Saturday with a FRER. I’ve had yellowish clear stretchy discharge today which I remember having early in my last pregnancy

[MoominC]

@HannahAD Keeping my fingers crossed for you I'm definitely getting signs that AF is on its way. My OH keeps saying could be pregnancy signs but seems to be the same things as every other month

[HannahAD]

I’ve had blocked nose the past few days with lots of boogies 🤮 I’ve heard that could be a sign

[HannahAD]

Also this morning I’ve noticed a slight ache at the bottom of my back that comes and goes
