So, the subject says it all! Although I feel I may have more a chance this month.
I came off the pill December - last month we was out. But this month, I apparently ovulated yesterday 12/01/20. We did the deed twice 2 days before ovulation... so today Iam 1dpo.

Anyone in the same that wants to join?
I really want to try not symptom spot, but yesterday I felt the cramps - which led me to think it was ovulation.

Well my 2WW only lasted a week, come on today, a week early, I’ve never been a week early in my life. Haven’t got a clue what my body is doing now

Anny27 · 15/01/2020 16:36

That's promissing @XjustagirlX

I usually have a dip around 6dpo so that's normal for me but if it isnt normal for you then that's a sign!! :D

AutumnCat · 15/01/2020 16:35

@Kates21 I am googling everything too. And I've got no memory so I've probably googled the same questions fifteen times. What did our mums do when there was no Google?!!

Amd yeah men are so delicate aren't they! No wonder no one has invented a male contraceptive pill yet...

I'm going mad, my boobs have been sore and I think more so than usual, and getting weird cramping which could be anything or nothing. Apparently I'm "very quiet" according to a work colleague, I dont think I am being but maybe I am acting odd. And so tired and craving sugar, but again that could be anything or nothing... so fed up and it's only cycle 1...

XjustagirlX · 15/01/2020 16:33

That’s interesting that some of you have implanted earlier than 6 days. Everything online says it won’t happen before 6 days. Here is my bbt chart. My bbt has never dropped like this before.

@anny27

Yep me too, I’m sure I implanted early... I even knew I was pregnant. I had this overbearing nausea & I just couldn’t eat food!

Yeah I’ve never normally done it but thought it would really help!

Anny27 · 15/01/2020 16:26

@Kates21 I deffo implanted days 5-6 last time as i felt the cramps!

Yeah it's good to jot down how you are feeling and what your body is doing so you know what's normal and what's different to normal cycle:D

Hey @xjustagirlx

Welcome!
Yep 3dpo today, lots of energy... although not long ago TMI I had a wet feeling, lots of milky discharge. I’m trying not to symptom spot, just general jotting down day to day after ovulation.
Implantation is a tough one... I have read it can be as early as 4dpo if sperm is already waiting for the egg to drop.. I don’t think anyone really knows, I know research says 6-12dpo.

@Anny27

It is super early, but who knows haha! It’s got to a point im on google asking for where the eggs journey would be on 3dpo, honestly 🙄😂

Hi everyone

I’m on 7dpo today and on cycle 5 of actually trying.

We DTD lots this cycle so I’m hoping we have caught it.

I’m massively symptom spotting. Around 3dpo I had lots of energy. Then 5dpo achy cramps, constipation (sorry tmi), tingly nipples, then today 7dpo I’ve got crazy mood swings and got so angry this morning.

Also my bbt dropped on 5dpo. It has gone back up this morning but I thought that was too early for implantation.

I’m hoping to wait till af I due to test but I might test on Saturday 10dpo.

Anny27 · 15/01/2020 11:53

Hahah men are delicate arent they 😅@AutumnCat

If we dont conceive this cycle I might get some for DH for next month!

@Kates21 it's super early for us still but cant help symptom spot a bit 😅

Hey @anny27
3DPO!
Never had a nose bleed in my life! How strange is that haha!
So today, I feel absolutely fine... no cramps YET! Cm - creamy/milky but light! Cervix so high I cannot feel again, 3rd day in a row.

I feel quite alive today if that’s makes sense lots of energy! Was emotional last night.

Hahaha yes! The pregnacare ones are massive, how I managed it I don’t know!

Anny27 · 15/01/2020 08:47

@Spark27 @Kates21 yep I use the seven seas ttc ones- super small! The pregnacare ones during pregnancy were HUUUUGE. Like swallowing a horse tranquiliser

Anny27 · 15/01/2020 08:46

Hey ladies! 3dpo for me today, no symptoms but as expected! When I was pg my symptoms started around 5dpo.

Anyone else get nosebleeds when pregnant? My midwife said it was common I had a few a week. But at 13dpo I had my first ever nosebleed which made me think something was up so I will definitely beon high alert for nosebleeds in the tww haha!!!

Hey @Spark27

Oooh sounds interesting though!

Hey ladies, and welcome to all the new people. I'm possibly 7dpo today and symptom spotting like mad (even though I'm trying not to). I had a few days light bleeding post ovulation, but that's stopped the last few days. Stomach feels a bit crampy and had a few twinges. Felt really nauseous earlier, but think that might have been cos I was hungryGrin. I felt all this last month though so not thinking it really means anything. I usually take a low level codeine prescription for pain relief, and as I'm obviously not now, I think I may be picking up on the normal pains for me.

If anyone has difficulty taking tablets (I'm rubbish at it so pregnacare is definately out and even the supermarket ones can be a problem) I've just got some Seven Seas Preconception tablets that are really small and so easy. Like the size of the pill. About £3.60 for 28 days worth.

danielasummer · 14/01/2020 18:55

@Kates21 it's hard not to symptom spot! Definitely keep busy, that has helped me loads.

And thank you. TTC has given me another focus so trying to be positive! x

@Mamahannah2019

It’s hardly noticeable unless I’m sat still then can feel. But I think I’m so obsessed with every sign I’m not missing anything haha!

Mamahannah2019 · 14/01/2020 18:28

@Kates21 oh that doesn't sound comfy! Hope it all positive for you babe, I feel a bit better after a reset and some nibbles x

@Mamahannah2019

I haven’t had no nausea or dizziness. Just generally feeling rundown and tired, currently sat in pjs on the sofa!
Still getting little pains in tummy and lower back, which feel as though then shoot down top of my legs. X

Mamahannah2019 · 14/01/2020 17:54

@Kates21 I feel really nauseous and dizzy this evening. Doubt it's anything related to hormones but yeah, we shall see.

@AutumnCat

Yeah I’m 2dpo too... I’ve had cramps since Sunday, mild but I’m aware they are there. I wish this was easier haha!

Yes so nice to talk to ladies in the same position, I honestly go out of my mind. Just hoping we see some BPFs this month ❤️

Hi all, I'm 8DPO today and waiting until 13DPO as that's the day AF would arrive. Nervous, excited, trying to keep busy to keep my mind off it..! This is my 2nd cycle actively TTC after my MMC in October. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you and sending you all lashings of baby dust x
