1dpo - anyone for the journey

Hi ladies, I thought after months of reading everyone's fertility posts online I'd come on in the hope to just vent etc to those trying.
I have 2 beautiful daughters 5+6 conceived first month first try - I'm now on 6 month trying with 3 chemical pregnancies so it's getting very emotional now and draining, draining because Ive has the positive tests and then started bleeding so this month I've vowed to not test until I'm a few days late! My cycles are like clockwork 28 days, I've ovulated a day early on day 11 I have my positive so I'm hoping that's a good sign, I'm taking vitamins and folic and had a lot of bed time ... hoping this is the month but going to do my best to relax! :)

Hi all. DH and I got back from our week away today. I admit I had a good few cocktails whilst we were away and ate lots of bad food although we did a huge amount of walking. I felt really bloated for a few day but wondering of it was just the aching legs and hips from all the walking affecting my stomach.

Now I'm 10dpo and was planning to wait until AF was due to test but DH asked me earlier how early a test can be done so now I'm thinking of using an IC tomorrow. I came on to see if anyone had tested yet and saw you had @shelly10111. But 9dpo is still so early. I didn't get a clear BFP with DD until 12dpo last year. I really want to hold out until wednesday but suspect I'll cave tomorrow.

Hi ladies, I'm thensame this week I don't want to drink Incase it hurts my chances, I'm 9dpo and stupidly tested and obviously got a BFN then felt like I'm out... which I know is mad and really angry at myself for testing, I'm a bit crampy today which I'm hoping is good news xx

@MabelBunny4 you're not going mad at all. But at least now you're definitely a step in the right direction getting things checked. I feel I've had a dull ache around my ovaries today but I think it's more wishful thinking.

KC68 · 27/02/2020 20:49

8dpo here. No signs out of the ordinary.
I’ve had a huge week at work, hoping the stress hasn’t stopped my body doing it’s thing.
Do you all have a wine whilst in this TWW?
I am mindful It may huff my chances. Any advice?

MabelBunny4 · 27/02/2020 16:05

I went for an ultrasound and internal ultrasound today as my doctor referred me to see whether I may have polycystic ovaries, really stupidly I had a tiny hope that they might say they saw that I was infact pregnant! Ridiculous I know as there’d be nothing to see this early anyway! But feel really disappointed that that wasn’t the outcome! I KNOW that’s so silly and crazy. I also felt that the sonographer didn’t really tell me one way or the other about what she could see, so now I’m obviously going crazy thinking there could be something wrong with my ovaries and here I am counting down the days just assuming I ovulated!
Please reassure me I’m not crazy 😩

@karenkeys I'm meant to be having a drink tomororw too!! I'm so bloated but other than that I feel absolutely normal

OP posts:
karenkeys · 27/02/2020 14:07

I have no symptoms either and also estimated 8 DPO. I have a family get together at a house this weekend and dreading trying to hide not drinking 😬 might test on Saturday on an IC just to see if there’s anything. Dragging!

Good luck @Ellsbells112 hope you do!!

How's everyone today? 8dpo today -- OH MY GOD it's dragging, this is the first month that so far I feel NOTHING - my only thing different is that I am super super wet down there, gross ! White and quite thick, sorry TMI - no other signs, trying to stay relaxed as it usually implants around today !

Hi ladies can I join please? I'm on cycle 7 of actively tracking but came off contraception 11 months ago. Currently waiting till end of the week for myself and OH tests, if the bloods and sperm is normal then they'll take a look at my tubes. I'm really hoping we catch before it goes that far... I'm 3 dpo x

MabelBunny4 · 25/02/2020 20:51

Thanks @shelly10111 that’s good to know. I’ll stick with expecting AF early March then and we’ll see what happens!
Sorry to hear about your two losses. Xx

@MabelBunny4 I've had two chemicals and each time I just resumed as normal, forst one was more of an early misscarriage so I bled a day or two longer but nothing drastic xx

OP posts:
MabelBunny4 · 25/02/2020 19:36

I had a chemical last month, but not really sure what that means for my cycle!
Not using OPKs as been it was the first month trying and we’re really desperate not to make it a super stressful thing (although that’s easier said than done!) and just trying to TTD every couple of days throughout the month.
So I’m not sure whether I would still be due AF as expected around 4th March or whether it would be later because of the bleeding from the chemical?
So not sure when I’d likely ovulate or when I would be classed as AF being late!? (Ironically now finding it stressful 😂)
Anyone got any experience of cycles being off because of a previous chemical or do they just continue as they would have done before?
Might be with some of you ladies testing around 4th but don’t want to be disappointed if it’s a BFN because it’s actually too early!

So hard isn't it not too over think! This month I have a lot of cervical mucus which is gross! Very bloated ! Very! Keeping my fingers crossed, for a spare clear blue digital to use if one of my poundland cheapies gives me a line

OP posts:
Foreverblowingbubbles18 · 25/02/2020 11:35

I'm only 4DPO so still being good and not thinking about it too much (how much is too much?!)

karenkeys · 25/02/2020 11:24

I’m 5 or 6 DPO today and feeling a bit impatient but keeping positive🤞 I’m testing early on Saturday mostly so that I will know if I have another chemical (but just on an Internet cheapie) I’ll do a FRER on the 4th March when AF is due.

Hoping we’ll all have some good luck this month!

KC68 · 25/02/2020 10:57

I’m 5dpo and holding off as long as I can.
Pregnancy tests are VERY expensive. I have a good feeling about this month too, actually put some planning into it Grin
Sending all the good vibes to you all

@Shefliesonherownwings let us know how you get on, I'm 4dpo now, said I wouldn't count but let's face after the 6th month trying I'm pretty much obsessed with it all now ! But not buying tests, I'm holding out this month, I have a clear blue digital left over so if I'm late I will use that :)

OP posts:
Shefliesonherownwings · 23/02/2020 09:16

Time does seem to go so slowly in the 2WW. DH and I are going away for a few days today so that will hopefully distract me from counting down the days. When we get back I'll be 10dpo. Am going to try to resist testing until around 12 or 13dpo. Ideally I'd wait to see if AF is late but doubt I'll be that disciplined!

KC68 · 23/02/2020 05:01

Currently 3dpo and tried SMEP this month round. It’s our 2nd month of trying for our first baby.
The excitement of the possibilities, but the thought of the unknown is quite consuming.
Sending lots of baby dust to everyone

@karenkeys same for me I had headache before the positive but nothing more, I'm too scared to test early again because of the chemicals, I'll just be so paronoid if it's positive and then having my period 😭

OP posts:
karenkeys · 22/02/2020 12:31

I got absolutely no symptoms last month when I was briefly pregnant with the chemical. It’s kind of a good thing though as I think it will stop me from trying to symptom spot over the next week or so since I know that it’s possible to be pregnant with no symptoms. We need to try and take our minds off it, as hard as it is! I’ve penciled in Sunday 30th for my first internet cheapie test at 10 DPO

claireb707 · 22/02/2020 12:31

I'm 3dpo today, though not sure we're in with much luck as partner came down with really bad and ended up with sinusitis this week. Fingers crossed the few times at the beginning of the week were enough
