Hiya, according to my app, i am now 2 days dpi however I have been getting really sore boobs and back ache. I know this is way toooooo early so might just be ovulation related. Just not looking forward to the next 2 weeks of waiting. Anyone else?

Oh and I’m full of cold! Blocked nose can’t breathe properly 😳 face and jaw aches from blowing my nose all the time. Red Rudolph nose too 😂

Moocher90 · 28/10/2020 19:01

Currently 4DPO. App gave me solid cross hairs and says I ovulated on Saturday and technically due a period on 7th November.
Been getting lower abdomen cramps, back ache mainly one sided and sore/achey boobs which all are signs of AF as well! My RHR was 63bpm on sat and is now at 68bpm today.
Just hoping my temp continues to rise.

I think I’m going to hold out as long as possible before testing as usually bbt starts to drop and then AF comes.

Great thank you, hopefully I will get a BFP this month and won’t need them!
I’m only 2DPO & cant help thinking every little twinge is a symptom. I had creamy yellow cm today which I have never had before, hoping it’s a pregnancy symptom!

ChinChilly · 28/10/2020 18:47

Hii ladies, just catching up..how are we all?

@Marshall1990 I think you have to be signed up for 48 hours before you can post a picture.

@Annannanna I just use savers own at the mo i think they are called clear and simple and are something like 5 for £1 alot of people use easy@home which I think you can get fairly cheap from amazon.

7DPO here...longest TWW ever!

Annannanna · 27/10/2020 19:14

Great thanks, Is there any certain brand of opk that works best or any recommendations? If I don’t conceive this month I will have to start figuring one when I ovulate more precisely. I have just used the Flo app so far.

Marshall1990 · 27/10/2020 19:11

There is no paper clip :(

Olivebranch26 · 27/10/2020 19:07

@Annannanna An Opk is an ovulation test. Like a pregnancy test that you take to tell you when you are about to ovulate (you probably know this sorry)

@marshall1990 if you click on the paper clip under the text box you can add photos.

Marshall1990 · 27/10/2020 18:30

How do I post a picture?

Annannanna · 27/10/2020 18:29

Can I ask what a Opk test is? I’m new to all of this!

AKC88 · 27/10/2020 17:51

@Bambi1234 AF due for me on the 5th, I'm telling myself I won't test until then but that's unlikely lol. I might test on the 2nd depending how I feel on the run up to then. What about you?

Olivebranch26 · 27/10/2020 17:32

Hi Ladies, please can I join in too. Opk positive on Thursday so should have ovulated Friday ish, I was really positive this month DTD a lot but my temps haven't gone up so I'm thinking maybe I didn't ovulate after all. Let's just say this is going to be a long week waiting and I'm looking to you girls to help me not murder my husband as I am definitely grumpy!! Wink Xx

dippyegg32 · 27/10/2020 17:09

Can I join? I'm either 1/2 dpo and got low abdo cramping as well as a bit of backache and occasionally one sided pain but I've defo already ovulated. Bodies are weird Grin

Annannanna · 27/10/2020 17:00

@Bambi1234
Sorry you went through it too, I got loads of pregnancy symptoms & got really excited and then all of a sudden they stopped and I started bleeding. I read that you can be more fertile after a chemical pregnancy so fingers crossed for bfp soon for us all, I’m so impatient!

Bambi1234 · 27/10/2020 16:51

@Annannanna fingers crossed for you. I feel the pain of waiting but promise it will be testing time soon. Sorry to hear about the chemical pregnancy. There is a constant worry after that however, it is quite common and people do conceive so try not to worry. I am telling myself the same as i only started trying in August and I was so excited to get a BFP but I was bleeding so I knew it wouldn't last. I gave myself a break last month and started again this month. Praying we get our bfp's this month xx

@ChinChilly what are we like 🤣 I wish we could jusy fast forward or if only, you found out the day after you dtd! Also creamy cm good be a good thing! Never thought I look at cm so closely until ttc 🤣

@AKC88 we are on the same journey. I too had heartburn last night but think it was more the hot spicy thai curry I had. Lol. It's such a long wait
When are you thinking to test? I really want to wait until AF is due but I know I won't be able to 😡😪😅

AKC88 · 27/10/2020 15:53

Hey,

I'm 4DPO also @Bambi1234!

I have sore boobs, cramping, heartburn at night and (sorry TMI) but so much wetness-sticky for 2 days but now like a milky discharge, the quantity is ridiculous!!

@Puppylove10 can you tell me more about the OPK and HCG levels? I've never heard anything like that before so am curious?

Annannanna · 27/10/2020 10:51

1DPO for me after a chemical pregnancy last month. Feel like this 2 weeks is dragging already, I’m so excited but after the chemical pregnancy I’m worried it will happen again.

ChinChilly · 27/10/2020 09:37

Thanks @bouncytree this is my second month following it so hoping everything is back to normal.

I just think the only way I can move forwards is to get pregnant again. Which is why it’s so hard if it doesn’t work.

Bouncytree · 26/10/2020 09:36

@Puppylove10 I’m sorry to hear about your MC. That is far along to get, it must have been very difficult for you. The cramps may be things settling at the MC. I’ve had 2 MC and after the first like you I was so desperate just to be PG again. Our first month trying my body was still full of hormones from the PG and I had cramps, sore boobs, very intense nausea, dark nipples - everything. I just didn’t think there was anyway I could not be PG, the symptoms were as clear as day. But I wasn’t. It was devastating snd confusing to get a BFP that month. So I would be cautious with symptoms, esp so early, your body may still be adjusting back to baseline hormone levels. Things did improve and the next month was much easier. But be kind to yourself at the moment. 💕

@Puppylove10 I did have cramps in august during the 2ww. I did get a BFP but unfortunately I was bleeding at the same time so i knew it wasn't going to last :(

Hi @Puppylove10 recently I had one cycle where I had very painful cramps from 4DPO to 6DPO which seems was nothing, the following cycle I had the same cramps from 6DPO to 12DPO where I got my BFP. Unfortunately I started bleeding a few days later but I have had cramps which have meant something and cramps that haven’t. That’s my experience anyway. Sorry to hear about your MC, it’s just heartbreaking x

Puppylove10 · 25/10/2020 20:50

Thanks @bambi1234 I hope you are right! Is it common to have cramps during your 2ww if not pregnant? Anyone know?
