Anyone else 12 DPO?

64 replies

babypleasenow · 12/03/2021 15:49

Anyone else around the same dpo as me and want to await the last few days together?

So far I’ve not had many symptoms, been feeling super hungry within a few hours of eating and ive had some vivid dreams and also some blood in my nose a few days on the trot when I blew my nose.

My boobs are normally sore from 9dpo and I have been known to spot from this early on too. I have been told my progesterone levels may not be high enough to fall pregnant so that’s probably why but this month I’ve had no spotting and no sore boobs so far yay! Even if I’m not pregnant it’s been nice 😂

Trying not to get my hopes up because last cycle I had sore boobs early on but didn’t spot until 2 days before my period so just patiently waiting ..... it’s hard to not get excited though :/

Xxx

@FirstTimeTryer93 Sorry for waking up a thread few months old- could you recall where did you get spots in face behind bfp?

LittleDoveLove · 23/03/2021 16:25

@babypleasenow I am in same position. I've had an unusually long cycle. I am 12DPO I think, no positive test or no AF either. I'm on cycle day 36. I used OPK which said I had a surge a week later than my app predicted (D23/24) app very good at predicting AF date usually so this is long cycle for me by a week more. No idea where my period has gone to! I would have though a positive would have shown on 12 days DPO if it was pregnancy as with my first child it showed at 10. Limbo isn't fun is it 😢

@babypleasenow
I hope you get good news soon. No period definitely means there is a chance you're pregnant. My period was 4 days later starting this month due to my first ovulation attempt failing.
I read the first phase of your cycle can vary in length, but the second phase after ovulation tends not to vary.
So if you know when you ovulated and have gone forwards your usual length, you are late, getting no PMS symptoms that must be a good sign.

Twothirtyam · 17/03/2021 11:11

Well I guess no spotting is good! Maybe you’ve conceived and hormones aren’t high enough yet to show on a test? It’s an awful waiting game isn’t it!

Update: day after period due is today, tested again with BFNs and no spotting etc still. Was cramping last night and the night before but still nothing. SO confused!

Twothirtyam · 16/03/2021 19:43

Yeah agree @pinkpirlie it’s like the icing on the cake isn’t it having to actually deal with a period at the end of it! Mine arrived for real this evening but I knew it was coming as boobs had totally gone back to normal and I could feel the cramps starting. It’s ok though. Just going to focus on next month! Hopefully we can manage to DTD more than once so I’ve at least got more of a chance!

pinkpirlie · 16/03/2021 08:51

@babypleasenow sounds like you're really getting tested with what you're going through. I really hope you get some answers to help with your journey soon.

AF started with vengeance in the middle of the night. It woke me up with with the worst cramps and sickness. I was nearly in tears it was so painful. I really hate getting her every month as not only am I not pregnant, but it's like, "how can we make this news worse?" And then decides to make me fe physically awful too.

@Twothirtyam has AF arrived for you and reset the clock?

I'm still going to temp this month and do OPK even though we aren't going to TTC. We only started monitoring ovulation in January, so still light on data.
We have not been careful since last summer, but that didn't get anywhere so started with the tracking this year to see if that would help.
I'm hoping with three months' data we can stop again after my next AF to try and make it less stressful again for my partner.

Hello @Twothirtyam ! Feeling better today thank you. Still no spotting, boobs were a little tender last night but this morning they are fine? Not sure when the best time to test would be if af still doesn't show any signs. I have one answer pregnancy test and one clear blue digi left and not keen on buying more if af is just late 😔

Hope your spotting is over soon, it is particularly annoying when you just want cd1 to arrive. X

Twothirtyam · 16/03/2021 07:35

Hope you’re doing ok @babypleasenow - any updates? AF hasn’t properly started yet here but I’m hoping it will today so that I can reset the clock!

babypleasenow · 15/03/2021 11:52

@Twothirtyam ughhhh. I'm not sure. I hope you're right. I just want to know I CAN get pregnant, you know? Sorry. Having a really bad day! I will update though. So far, (tmi) near enough dry down there - which people say is what happens before af! X

OP posts:
Twothirtyam · 15/03/2021 11:24

Yes do update. Perhaps you did conceive but something wasn’t quite right so it’s delayed your period a bit? I’ve had months where I’ve had random cramps and out of place spotting and I think on those cycles I’ve conceived but it just hasn’t been strong enough to show positive on a test. Probably silly but I figure we do also know our bodies a bit and what’s normal and what isn’t.

babypleasenow · 15/03/2021 10:44

@Twothirtyam yeah you're right. I just feel so confused because for as long as I have known I have never gone without spotting this far into a cycle. Also, not sure about fertility clinic appointment yet, they have to get my OHs sperm sample first. Thank you for your positivity and encouragement though I really need it today.

@pinkpirlie I thought I was 15dpo today, but I didn't track ovulation at all this month. I usually get a peak OPK between cd13-15 but I had my 21 bloods this month and dr said ovulation possible from looking at the figures so surely that means I have? Who knows. Anyway, thank you also for your encouragement and positive words. I will post any updates incase anyone wants to read them, I do understand it's sometimes a bit dull when you are out for this cycle to keep reading about someone else though😂 xx

pinkpirlie · 15/03/2021 10:33

@FirstTimeTryer93 congratulations. So happy for you.

@babypleasenow sorry you didn't get good news this morning. How many DPO are you now? Perhaps a slightly longer cycle, or perhaps it is taking longer for the HCG to show? I have seen posts by people who didn't show as pregnant for a week after their missed period. So still keeping everything crossed for you.

Twothirtyam · 15/03/2021 09:47

Oh I’m so sorry. It sounds like you really deserve a break after trying for so long. Well, you’re not out until you’re out as they say so I’m still keeping fingers crossed. Do you know how long it will take for your fertility clinic appointment to come through?

@Twothirtyam I used a brand called answer which are supposedly the exact same as frer's but without the branding. The look exactly the same, so I'm thinking that af is likely just going to be late as it would have shown at least something if I was pregnant by now :( never mind, just annoyed now my period will be out of sync

OP posts:
Twothirtyam · 15/03/2021 07:31

Which test did you use? Could you have ovulated later? Positives can sometimes take a while to appear I think it depends on your base HCG levels etc.

Twothirtyam · 15/03/2021 07:30

@pinkpirlie oh I’m sorry that AF has shown up, it’s so disappointing isn’t it. My partner is the same he hates the pressure of trying and so it’s all on me to try and keep it casual when it clearly isn’t! I think it’s a good idea to have a month off. I’m on the ancient side (40 nearly 41) so I can never let myself take a month off because what if it’s that good egg!
Fingers crossed for you testing @babypleasenow I hope to get a good update!

@FirstTimeTryer93 congrats! And thank you for your reassurance xxx

OP posts:
FirstTimeTryer93 · 15/03/2021 00:10

Now that I think about it I'd say the only symptom I had is that I started to break out in spots. But no sore boobs or anything x

FirstTimeTryer93 · 15/03/2021 00:04

Hi girls I just got my bfp this evening at 12dpo. Had absolutely no symptoms so don't worry if you don't have any symptoms it's still possible xxx

Anyone else 12 DPO?
pinkpirlie · 14/03/2021 23:54

Well I'm officially out again this month. 😢
AF spotting started this evening and I'm swelled up so much like normal.
If AF comes with vengeance tomorrow I will she had a 34 day cycle, normally I'm 29/30. So the two ovulation attempts definitely messed things up.
Also affected my bf's anxiety as I didn't catch the LH surge so we did our three days in a row over my expected ovulation and then when my temp didn't rise and I had the second surge he really struggled. I've been trying to make it as stress free as possible, but he just knows.

As we are having a month off now, won't be until May before we try again. So I'm now keeping fingers crossed for a 2022 baby. 🤣

@dippyegg32 that bottom one definitely looks darker. I'm so happy for you. 🎉

@babypleasenow I really hope you get some good news in the morning. Got my fingers crossed for you 🤞

dippyegg32 · 14/03/2021 18:11

Think I've had a little progression from yesterday

Anyone else 12 DPO?

babypleasenow · 14/03/2021 18:10

@Twothirtyam I'll probably test in the morning, I'll be 15 dpo tomorrow if I ovulated when I think I did? But af isn't due till Tuesday. X

OP posts:
dippyegg32 · 14/03/2021 11:53

@pinkpirlie I also had two lh surges and then ovulated on second attempt. It's never happened before. I'm 12dpo and temps increased again today but I reckon the second lh surge might have messed things up. I feel like I've got ewcm again though which is really odd.
