TWW - let’s keep each other sane!

Thanks for replies ladies, we only dtd on 6th as dp went away for work for a week. I put the temps into ff and it’s showing I’m 4dpo. If that’s right then we dtd 4 days before ovulation so I’m still in with a slight chance right? This is the second month of properly ttc but unprotected for 3 months before that. I have pcos so I don’t ovulate every month.

@Nellieee I know what you mean, it seems like everyday is Groundhog Day esp when coupling it with home schooling!

I never really had nausea with my children, but am watching out for all symptoms. I am 3 DPO I don't expect to 'spot' any till at least another 7 days.

How many days DPO are you? Any symptoms ?

Also wfh. I'm so over it now. Used to enjoy it pre-lockdown.

@Ifonly86 I'd say you probably ovulated on Tuesday. Usually you ovulate within 12-36 hours of positive OPK. Did you dtd the Wednesday after trust O? Any times before? I know it can be hard seeing a negative, when you hear yourself up that this is it.

@Dex1521 jealous of your snow!! We've not had any since the first week of Jan.

@stillfeelingmad 7/8 dpo is prime implantation time. Fingers crossed. Have you decided when you'll test?

@ree348 spikes in progesterone can make you feel a little queasy for sure! I do often think I'm imagining feeling sick though (not saying you are!!)

It's so easy to over read our 'symptoms' isn't it...this morning I woke up feeling a little sick and then told myself there's no way I would have pregnancy symptoms 2 DPO

This is going to be a long wait....

It's snowing here too in West Yorkshire! I'm feeling super tired and queasy today but only 7/8dpo so probably too early for symptoms. Waiting until the weekend to test

@Dex1521 yes me! No drive whatsoever today. Just staring at the rain and procrastinating!

Hello everyone are there any bbt experts here? It’s the first month I have charted so I’m not sure if mine looks promising. I’m assuming I ovulated between sun-mon? But we only dtd on the wed so chances are unlikely. Getting so disheartened with bfn every month.

@Dex1521 me! My January motivation is at an all time low! Snow, wow! Where are you in the uk? I’m in Bristol and it’s just raining!

@Dex1521 good idea! Think that's the Saturday? I think I have two frer tests, and possibly two cheapie own brands from boots. I've heard the boots ones aren't great though.

@coffee1988 I think any symptoms you have early on (ie before implantation around 7dpo five or take) would be due to higher levels of progesterone in the body. The reality is, many mimic early pregnancy symptoms. Some people say they had zero symptoms when they got pregnant though. Everyone is different!! I've had sore boobs/nips since O.

@coffee1988 I had back pain which I thought meant something, but I actually think it was from DTD so often as now that has fizzled out it’s gone away. I’ve had a few really mild cramps but nothing out of the ordinary. I’m only 5DPO.

question for you all, does anyone have any symptoms!? I have literally nothing, never felt so damn normal. But only 6/7 dpo so maybe I wouldn't!? First time ttc so no previous experience on this!

@Dex1521 that below message was for you 🙈

@Grace185 ah I totally get what you mean. I thought I was onto a winner with another temp rise the day before af. Was only on the day when it dropped. Grr. Fingers crossed!!

Ooh that is weird, but looking at your chart, I'd say it looks correct now. There's usually a slight dip the day before your peak/O.

Not quite the same, but I got crosshairs on CD12, then they disappeared after other signs were entered on FF (inc peak OPK). Disappeared altogether and then reappeared this morning thank god after another temp rise. I'd stick with the readjusted dpo for tracking.

@Nellieee yeah I’ll be either 1 1/2 weeks or 1/2 a week late. I’m hoping that it will give a definite answer. I think I’d rather af come than see a negative but I might give in the weekend before! We’ll see :)

@Dex1521 sorry Dex! I totally missed your message 🙈 great looking chart to be fair. Nice temp shift. It's great when the crosshairs show isn't it. We'll all be testing around similar times 🍀🤞

I keep doing manual overrides today to second guess testing dates etc. Fingers crossed, should get them tomorrow. I was thrown off earlier in the month at CD 12 when I got crosshairs due to three very small (and random) temp increases. Sulked all of Sunday and google self diagnosed early onset menopause. Luckily I had done a line OPK the night before that was high but not peak. Did a CB dual hormone OPK Sunday night and it was peak! Thank god. So crosshairs vamooshed. It's such a big learning curve isn't it?!

@33Carr I did think that about the weekend too! We'll be testing around the same time then!! This is only my second cycle off the pill, but last month my temp shot up day before AF so I got my hopes up, then spotting started the following day. Grr.

@Grace185 would you be almost a week and a half late by the end of the month?! Well if AF hasn't shown by then, you'll be looking great!

@Nellieee I haven’t had the willpower yet haha. I think I’ll cave before or af arrives. Just want to give it a chance as I think the poas and the three minute wait to be met with a bfn will be hard so I’d rather wait for af tbh! But might give in!

Only had one cycle off the pill which was 30d but used to have longer ones.

Probably only about 6dpo according to clue but symptom spotting like crazy mild cramps and bloated to high heaven tonight

Thank you Dex . I just don't want to get my hopes up too soon. My ds (4yo) was conceived using IUI, we were lucky on the first try after 2 years of trying on our own. My next 2 losses, I fell pregnant first try but the problems arose after.
