Hey everyone I’m 6dpo, I think we timed dtd okay 1/2 days before ov, still got 5/6 days till I can test 😭 longest wait ever. I don’t feel much different just been cramping and tired. Anyone else with me?xxx

@princesscallie

Ladies could I hope on here. I've no idea when I ovulated but am due my period next Sunday or Monday. We just decided last weekend to try for our 3rd baby and I know it was right in the middle of my fertile period so we shall see what happens. I haven't been on the pill for over 2 years...so no need to wait for that!
Fingers crossed ! Will you be waiting to test or test before ?xx

@THX15 even if its negative tomorrow morning doesn't necessarily mean you aren't pg just may be too early so keep going or at least that's what I do spend every morning squinting at a stick 😂 x

@MommaSB

Hey! I did have a look into implantation bleeding, so i am hopeful. I am convincing myself everything I read i relate to haha!

Ohh i never knew you could test so early! I may do in the morning then Smile

MommaSB · 23/01/2021 21:55

@THX15 welcome!! Spotting may be a good sign as it could be implantation. Keep an eye out, my app says you can test from 10 dpo but don't be disappointed if its negative so soon as you aren't out till af arrives. I plan on testing once a day until she shows! Good luck x

THX15 · 23/01/2021 21:22

Hey, hope you don't mind me joining!

I'm 9dpo and today i have had sharp cramps, if that makes sense?! and had a little pink spotting. This never happens!

How soon can you test? I'm knew to all this! Smile

[quote Socu3]@Gspps thank you :) fx for you too!
I hate testing and then being disappointed so usually wait for af to show her face.
I find if I test and get bfn I get so sad, and then af usually shows up soon after! What about you?[/quote]
Yeah that’s true, I just feel really excited this month and just want to find out I know I’ll be sad if it’s negative though it’s a vicious cycle! Xx

I'm 6 DPO and have had dull achy cramps since yesterday, feel like AF is going to make an appearance but not due till 30th/31st.
I'm on furlough and not sure when I'll be back at work so feel like the weeks are going to drag.
Fingers crossed for us all 🤞

BWaiting · 23/01/2021 19:50

How is everyone today? Kept myself very busy today to take my mind of all of this. Went for a long walk up some hills in the snow.
I'm around 8DPO. I've felt cramps again today, I usually feel like this a day or so into AF. I've also felt really hungry today and have eaten everything in sight! I'm probably thinking too much into it as usual! Haha. I hope you're all doing really well Blush x

MommaSB · 23/01/2021 18:58

Sorry should say also 7dpo

MommaSB · 23/01/2021 18:57

Also dpo! Another night of bad cramps and lower back ache. Went toilet 3 times was convinced af had arrived due to how uncomfortable I was. But nothing! Now this morning skin on face very dry and itchy, and just feel weird like heavy? But no cramps. I'm glad we are all around the same time haha we can wait together. X

@Toastedsesame

I know it’s so hard to tell! I’ve had headaches today too and feel a bit moody but again I could feel like that anyway haha, and yes I will do course, and you too!x

Socu3 · 23/01/2021 17:49

Hi all, I'm 7 dpo today, af due Thursday I think. This is our 7th cycle trying, we conceived DS on cycle 3 so finding it very hard, I'm impatient and feel like everyone is announcing pregnancies!
This month feels a bit different, I usually get sore boobs straight after ovulation but this time nothing at all which isn't like me! However am wondering if it's this new supplement I'm taking which is easing symptoms! Who knows! This tww is taking ages!

Happythoughts91 · 23/01/2021 17:45

Hey girls, hope you’ve all had a good day. Read up on all your comments. I’m 5dpo today, and I have no symptoms what so ever.
My Ovia app says I can test next Saturday, but if I have no symptoms still I don’t see the point 🙈 is that bad of me 😂

Toastedsesame · 23/01/2021 17:40

@Gspps same! I'm literally always tired so it's hard to tell if this is normal levels of tiredness or like, extra. Fingers crossed for you. Please let me know how you get on!

@Toastedsesame not really I have some cramps and tiredness but I get that anyway so nothing out of the ordinary!

Just hoping for the best and resisting the urge to test to early ! I’m only 7dpo (I think) so still need to wait a few days aha
Cool I might start bbt and see how I go with it!

OP posts:
Toastedsesame · 23/01/2021 13:50

@Gspps oh cool! are you experiencing any symptoms or anything?

BBT is actually really easy, I take my temp when I wake up and put it into my fertilityfriend app, then it makes a graph for me. The graph is fascinating! Its a really good insight into your cycle. I love geeking out over it.

@BWaiting I’m not sure, I want to wait but I’m not sure I can!😆 I’m due 28th/29th so still got 5/6 days to go, I’ve got an early response test, but I’m only 7dpo so I think it’s too early 😥 I think I’m going to wait until at least Monday if I can! Sounds like you dtd around the best time as the apps so fingers crossed! Xxx

OP posts:
BWaiting · 23/01/2021 10:01

@Gspps will you be testing as soon as you can or wait for AF? When is AF due?
This is our first cycle of trying. I had cramps a few days after which felt like the start of AF, it lasted two days and now I'm back to normal again. I'm not hopeful as I only used the flo app to see when peak days were and apparently it's not really accurate although we DTD 3 days in a row around the time. AF is due around 29/30th. xx

@Toastedsesame hi!

We’re similar dpo but you have a slightly longer cycle than me! I think the times you dtd seem like perfect times too if there ever could be! We dtd day before or 2 days before depending on what’s right on the app so fingers crossed we made it 🙌🏼 I do opks but never bbt it seems like hard work but might give it a go next month!xxx

@BWaiting yeah same as me really, you just notice any little thing that changes and wonder if that means anything! Hahaa
App Says I can test in 5 days 🤞
Well this is the first proper cycle I guess as last month we was a bit late for ovulation, wbu?xxx

BWaiting · 22/01/2021 23:28

@Happythoughts91 I downloaded Ovia today and compared my dates with the flo app and it's slightly out so will be using Ovia from now on. It looks like a really good app to track everything.
Ooo hoping you get a BFP before June!!
You're a strong lady to not test each month, I'm so so impatient!! I don't think it helps that I read all of the threads on here about people testing from 8dpo and getting positives!! xx

MommaSB · 22/01/2021 23:23

I wanna join! Will be 7dpo tomorrow apparently af due 30th but not sure as I have had irregular periods for the whole 2.5 yrs we've been trying for number 2.
Had lower back cramps and some af type twinges and my skin has turned awful! All dry with red splotches and sore dry lips. No idea if that means anything or if I'm due on earlier than expected.
Sitting on my hands until next week as no point testing yet. Sending luck to you all xx
