No symptom spotting for me this month & no testing until AF is due/late! Anyone in a similar place? 🤞🏼

@stormwhale my ewcm varies too, some months it's obvious others I wouldn't know I was ovulating with the tests. Didn't have much this month but hoping that's not a bad sign! Ooo same here! I live for a 9dpo squinter! sad

Op I keep my weight down, and periods are settled again after being on the mini pill, so feeling hopeful. I'm just not getting as clear signs of ovulation as I used to. Tmi, but not as much ewcm, less ovulation pain etc so I'm feeling that I'm not as fertile. We'll see though!!

Fingers crossed for all of us. I love looking at other people's poas so can't wait for that bit on here!

@Bloodylegoeverywhere not judgement here! Not gonna pretend I haven't googled 1dpo symptoms before Grin

Bloodylegoeverywhere · 13/09/2018 13:47

@beautifulblue I think as I've never had these symptoms before even when not trying. But I needed a way to fill my lunch break. No googling today on 4dpo (obviously got bored)

@stormwhale pcos here too 🙋🏼 Pretty regular cycles though so not sure how much effect it has. Know plenty of women with 2,3,4 kids with PCOS... yes I def just knew! Mad isn't it? I'd be willing a second line for months & when it popped up I was like yep, knew it... super chilled!!

Oooo you're going deep already @Bloodylegoeverywhere! 🤣 It can be hard not to.. trying to be more zen this cycle. ha

This will be dc2 for us. I have a 4 year old dd. I do have pcos so it might take a bit longer than others, but I was lucky with dd as we weren't even trying. One slip up and boom, pregnant!

Did you all just know with your previous dc? I did. I was utterly sure I was pregnant and I was.

Bloodylegoeverywhere · 13/09/2018 13:40

Me, I'm 4dpo on cycle two trying for number 3 Wink I've googled every thing I can for 2dpo, 3dpo as I've had pinching and cramps.... we shall see what happens!

Don't need to apologise @rollerskaterdata all our brains work in different ways! Totally understand the fear of not getting pregnant again. Felt too good to be true the first time, feels the same this time. Even though I do have living proof my uterus worked once currently pulling my hair, it doesn't make me anymore confident this time! But yes let's make this a cautiously optimistic thread anyway!

I will join. I’m not sure if I got my ovulation day right. We tried once Monday night and I was guessing ovulation Tuesday or Wednesday. This is my third and the last two pregnancies I guess right. But last month is when we first started trying for our third and as it didn’t work - I’m now not sure when I ovulate! Esp as I have 2-3 days of spotting before my period begins and from research online it says you don’t count these days.

rollerskaterdata · 13/09/2018 13:20

Oh and I should caveat this is how I feel about early testing at the moment! This of course could change if I ever got a chemical, I just have this strange irrational fear right now that for some reason I may never get pregnant again 😕 ok I'll stop posting now! 🤦‍♀️

rollerskaterdata · 13/09/2018 13:17

@Beautifulblue he he thanks hun! Yep it does look that way doesn't it! Hoping we get a flurry of sticky BFPs this month! X

rollerskaterdata · 13/09/2018 13:15

Oh and I went crazy symptom spotting last month, had every symptom under the sun and wasn't pregnant anyway! Will not be symptom spotting from now on ha! Afraid I'm an early tester though, from around 12dpo onwards. I want to know early even if it's a chemical, I know that sounds strange but it's almost a strange comfort for me that my body is still working and can still get pregnant. Appreciate that's not the same for everyone though. Baby dust galore for all of us! xx

Ooo a few of us trying for #2 on cycle 2! Sounds like you've done the work @rollerskaterdata (love your user name btw) good luck!

I'm 3dpo too! 🙋‍♀️ TTC #2, cycle 2. Did SMEP, used clearblue digital advanced OPKs to track ovulation and preseed! Hoping this is the month for all of us! X

fee1234 · 13/09/2018 13:01

Well hoping we see at least 1 BFP at the end of this thread! Fingers crossed ladies... 🤞🏼

Im 3dpo too. Trying for about 7/8 months for number 1

Demiepaige · 13/09/2018 11:42

@beautifulblue thank you, I have 2 daughters already aged 2&1 I’m hoping for a close age gap. My husband is desparate for a boy as he has another daughter with an ex partner who is also a girl! She’s 3 😂 xx

Mseddy · 13/09/2018 11:41

This is number 1 for us. Been trying since July (Not long at all I know), but we already have PMH complicating things so I'm not very hopeful!

@Mseddy that's great, really good way to keep you chilled! If you get a negative at least you can fall back on your holiday being secured Smile

Me too @fee1234 which is also why I won't be testing early anymore, just causes more heart break & doesn't change the out come! So patience is the key from now on.

Good luck @Demiepaige we are trying for #2 we have a 14 month old daughter.

What about you other ladies? Is this 1,2,3 etc for you?

OP posts:
Mseddy · 13/09/2018 11:28

I'm feeling chilled about this month because we have a holiday booked for March and if I fell pregnant this month we would have to cancel. So I kind of have a win either way! Obviously I'd love to have to cancel the holiday because this month is the one! But if it isn't we can 100% go away. I think this is keeping me chilled this month, but from next month that won't be a thing any more!

Demiepaige · 13/09/2018 11:24

Hello 😊 trying for our 3rd baby, 2nd cycle! I’m around 9dpo. Hoping to test this weekend as due on Wednesday. Got very sore boobs so hoping this is a positive sign! Xx

fee1234 · 13/09/2018 11:22

The chemical last month threw my dates a bit so I wasn't sure when to start DTD.. this month we tried to cover most fertile days and did it every day since last Thurs, so CD 10 - 16. I got my positive OPK yesterday morning (CD16) so we DTD last night and that will be us for this cycle! I still had a positive OPK this morning but my poor DP was worn out from 6 days straight and I'm feeling the same tbh. I think the pressure was starting to get to him too.

If I hadn't tested at 10dpo last month I'd never have known I was pregnant.. but instead we had three days of thinking everything was fine and then the bleeding started! Going to try my hardest and wait until 13 or 14 dpo this time.
