2DPO - Anyone with me....!

@EllyNC291 Ditto. I think my range is bigger though - between 7dpo and 11dpo, but roughly like yours. Normally I get EWCM for a sensible length of time and it's clearer when I O'd, but this month I had it for over a week! So not as sure. It annoyed me not knowing, so think I will start temping next cycle. Although fingers crossed there is no next cycle!

@AKC88 @unCliche
Amazing thanks!
I’ve been using Flo (originally for periods for years) and now recently downloaded Premom fertility tracker which has the OPK together.

So far I think my body is a bit all over the place.
Last month I was a 33 day cycle. Ended up having two LH surges 4 days apart ,day 19 and day 23
Has anyone ever had that before??

This month I have I had a peak reading on Sunday 25th ..which is CD 20..
wth 🤣🤣 help 😭

@HerringGull either 8 or 9 I think- I don’t temp just go by cm/how I’m feeling currently so bit of guesswork but somewhere in that region!
@unCliche exactly the same I’m going to expect the worst but hope haha. Defo easier if you don’t get hung up on symptoms but so hard not to!!!

@EllyNC291 Yay! That's four of us now testing over the weekend. I'm trying to remain calm because if I get too excited the disappointment will hit harder. Like @HerringGull said, it'll be easier to handle a BFN with less symptoms and expectations so I'll be hoping for the best but still be expecting the worst - but hoping for the best mostly.

Heeey @F23xoxo welcome to the group! I have a fertility bracelet, so I use the app that comes with it. But I'm also using Fertility Friend as a backup to confirm ovulation.

Sorry to hear that your last cycle wasn't a success, @AKC88. I hope it isn't hitting your DH too hard but least you're in this together and you can be there for each other.

What dpo are you @EllyNC291 ?

@AKC88 I'm okay this time as not really any symptoms. Last month I had mega symptoms exactly the same as when I conceived #1, so was reasonably sure I was pregnant, but I wasn't (or it was chemical). This month no symptoms like that so will be less surprised if AF shows. I know it doesn't work like that - ie you can have no symptoms and still be pg - but it feels easier to handle AF when you haven't had any if that makes sense! How are you feeling? Can I ask how old your DC is?

@AKC88 oh I am the same!! Really heavy feeling in my pelvis and lots of twinges, totally exhausted and generally feeling A bit weird! Trying to reason with myself that it probably doesn’t mean anything, particularly as I had a negative test this morning! Easier said than done though!!

@HerringGull we can battle through another TWW together!

Mine was so overly hopeful we would conceive last cycle, we were so lucky with our youngest and fell on the first cycle, so I think he's in self-protection mode this cycle bless him! I think having had the coil has really changed my cycle.

How are you doing with it all this time?

Well hello @AKC88 - didn't know you were on here too! Hear you on your husband being the voice of reason - mine is a sensible soul too (which is good but sometimes I just want him to be irrational with me)!

Thank everyone for the welcomes

@HerringGull nice to see you here!

@F23xoxo I use Femometor, I did use Flow before I started doing OPK's and BBT but find Femometor is easier for recording both of those.

I'm only 4 DPO but I swear I don't feel my usual self, really sore boobs, lots of cramping which I don't normally have, pulling and a general heaviness in my pelvic area and mostly heartburn for the last 2 days which was the first sign I had in my last pregnancy (although I know it's way too early for any of those things to mean anything). My husband has been trying to convince me it's the change in weather/time that's throwing me off lol!

@unCliche - thank you! Glad we are testing buddies - fingers crossed we bring each other good luck! I also have wind which is unusual for me, but it's probably all the crisps

@F23xoxo hi!! How are you finding things?
I use flo! Quite like it tbh but haven’t really tried others!! What do you use?

Hi ladies! I’m new to this! This is my first post too 😜 can I join?
I think today is Dpo 1 for me..
this is my TTC C3 and proper tracking C2.
What apps is everyone using? And any of them you find better than others?

I feel like all the apps say something different x

@GreenApplesYo going to hold out now and not test till Sunday! I have quite irregular cycles but think Af due Monday..! Was feeling optimistic but that’s gone now!!

@unCliche hope the wind eases off lol i keep wondering if my ‘symptoms’ are down to all the crap I’m eating too 😂

I still have my fingers crossed for you @Twinkle1989. You never know, it really could be a BFP for you. Lots of people have said they get their usual AF cramps but then AF doesn't come. So as long as she's not here, I think you still have a chance. I never knew what a fetilily is either! So thanks for that little bit of enlightenment - I do hope they help. I've just been keeping my legs elevated to help the little spermies along.

Hi @AKC88! Oh trust me, I started the googling at 1DPO! In fact, pre-TWW I was doing TWW research hehe! Most of us here have promised ourselves not to test until AF is due. Let's see who cracks first (probably me) Although for 7 DPO, I'm doing pretty good for not testing!

@Izzie94 I've got sore AF boobs too, but that could mean anything! I too hope that them not hurting means I could get a BFP, but nope, here they are... hurting.

@EllyNC291 Give it a few more days! Like GreenApples said, implantation still could be happening.

@GreenApplesYo Haha that's brilliant! Is your chart starting to look triphasic? I had a slight dip today but nothing significant. I don't think it was enough to be an implantation dip. I also feel like I won't be lucky this month. Everything just feels normal. Except for having the worst trapped wind ever last! Had to down a mug of diluted bicarbonate of soda. But even that could be due to the shit foods I'm eating and not necessarily pregnancy.

Welcome @HerringGull! I'll be testing around Sunday/Monday so hopefully, me, you and GreenApples should have (positive) results to share around the same time.

Phew! Think I've managed to respond to everyone

Room for one more?

I'm on my second month TTC #2. A bit unsure when I ovulated this month, but pretty sure I'm between 8 and 11dpo today. So will test at the weekend if the witch doesn't show her face by then!

No symptoms that I don't normally get in TWW, except I'm 2lb fatter than yesterday - does that count?!!

Has anyone cracked and tested this morning?

@GreenApplesYo Fertilily is like a moo cup for conception - it forms an umbrella so holds the sperm next to the cervix to give it the best chance of fertilisation 🤷🏻‍♀️ I've just bought one - thought its worth a go ❤️
Xx

Hi @AKC88 welcome 🙂

@Twinkle1989 what's a fertilily? Is it a tracking bracelet? If AF is early it means you can crack on with more baby dancing sooner? 🙂🙂

@EllyNC291 aww! Don't worry, loads of time yet. Might not have even implanted yet! Will you test again before AF?

I'm 7dpo now. Can't say I've noticed any symptoms, I know there is still time though. Just have a feeling this isn't my month. Would be very lucky if it is, it's just cycle 1! Kinda glad in a way that I don't have loads of crazy symptoms - if I had all the classics and then it was a BFN that would be waaaay worse than the other way round!

@unCliche any temp dips yet hehe? 🙂 I'm steady away at 36.8. Triphasic charts are my new google obsession.

How’s everyone doing?
Stupidly tested this morning even tho I know I’m only like 8/9 dpo! BFN. Feel like I’m just waiting for AF now :(

@Twinkle1989 hi lovely! 11dpo here. Feel exactly the same as I usually do before AF, boobs starting to hurt slightly (they’ve started to hurt later and later in my TWW recently!) and I get excited they don’t hurt thinking is no symptom a symptom 🤣 but AF seems to be approaching for me. And I’ll be going into cycle 11.

Whens AF due for you?

Ooo what’s that?! I’ve not heard of it before! Xx

@AKC88 welcome! hahaha my google searches during the TWW are crazy 😂 I try tell myself I won’t every month. But every month I’m clutching at straws 😅 x

Hi everyone,

Hope you don't mind if I join.

2nd cycle TTC #3, currently 3DPO and already obsessing over everything...need to step away from Google . AF is due 5th Nov, aiming to not test before that but I'm pretty sure I'm lying to myself haha!

How is everyone doing?
I think AF may be approaching earlier than usual 😭 whilst I feel sad, I have period pain and I don't think it's implantation pain, I'm kind of wanting it out of the day so we can get back on track for trying!
I have just bought a Fertilily - have you ladies tried them yet?
Hope you're all well xx

Yours looks like what I'd expect a bbt chart to look like. It's clearly biphasic and there's definitely a separation between pre-O and post-O temps. This website on Fertiliry Friend shows the different types of rises you can get. Yours looks like a bit of a slow rise but can definitely tell there was a temp shift.

Yeah, I don't get why it was so spiky. Maybe because it was my Ava's first month getting to know me so temps were all over the place.

The Ava bracelet is ok. I got it half price because I bought it second hand so it doesn't feel like a waste of money (yet). Makes tracking temps easier. Only thing I don't like is that if it predicts your O day wrong, it won't change it for that cycle. It'll only predict better for the next. So I use fertility friend to double check. But it's been really interesting to see how my resting heart rate follows the ups and downs of my body temp.

Oh wow @unCliche they are really different aren't they? I'd agree it looks like ov was on CD11 on your first chart. Your first month was so spikey! I've heard of a fallback rise. I think it's normal? This is mine - I'd say I had a gradual rise.

Do you like the ava bracelet? I was considering one but thought I might wait a while to see how things go.

Good to have not messed with your hormones by the way. I guess being naughty can pay off 🙂

@coffeewithmilk at least you haven't got too long to wait now. And who knows, maybe you implanted today so may not get a positive for a few days yet.

@GreenApplesYo no, I haven't been on any contraceptives (like ever, not even condoms. Naughty me) but I bought an Ava fertility bracelet last month to track all that fertility stuff so I'm assuming my recorded temps are pretty accurate.

The graph with the huge dip was last months cycle. I think I actually O'd on CD 11 because my cycle was only 23 days. This month I definitely O'd on CD 14 because I started using OPKs and checking CM. but I didn't get any sharp temp rises this month. They've been pretty tame. Then I got something called a fallback rise at 2 DPO (I think?) and now it's starting to steadily rise and that's nothing like what happened last month

But let's hope next month you don't have a chart to compare to because you'll have gotten your BFP!

@unCliche it's my first month, just been temping this cycle. Remind me (sorry!) did you come off the pill recently? 🙂I came off at the start of Oct. I did wonder if temps can be funny the first month off the pill? But going forward you'd think temps ought to be fairly similar month on month? I haven't looked into it though! Good question 🤔🙂 will be interesting to see if my chart is different next month.

Did you get a really sharp temp rise 1dpo? Mine was slight at 1dpo and then more pronounced on 2dpo. So I was a bit sad on 1dpo and really happy on 2dpo. Bloody TTC roller-coaster!

Hahaha also no judgement here if you do poas!
