@Howlplant Thanks for sharing- that's reassuring to know! It may well have happened before and I've not even noticed as wasn't being so vigilant

@catipepo I have ovulation spotting most months, been to the doctors for a trans vaginally ultrasound twice and both ovaries apparently healthy, just one of those things. Meant that yesterday I knew I'd ovulated from some spotting, though my Flo app said day before, as I'd had a Clearblue peak morning of 5th, and ovulated mid morning of 6th.

Hey! Can I join in too? I'm 1DPO today, 33 yrs old in Cycle 2 ttc #1. Went a bit nuts last month and had every symptom under the sun, and a BFN to show for it, so absolutely determined this month to relax and not poas 'til at least 10DPOGrin in theory!

@TheDots I have two little boys 🤩my mini miracles!, but now we’ve decided if we can manage it we’d love one last one!!! How about you?

@Hdujsjdjdbru you see I’ve never had to use anything like these sticks. I would just get busy and let it all take time, with my first it took about a year, but I felt no pressure. Then with my youngest I had miscarriages and then around….I think 3/4months I was pregnant…I think..? But now because I’m older and my symptoms from pcos are worse, I want to utilise any of the most fertile days I have lolol!!!

@Catipepo To test close to Father’s Day is an AMAZING idea!!!! you see having a timescale like that would do me good because if I’m left with no guidance I’ll test daily/twice a day🤣 I have ordered a pack of 3 clearblue tests. Two are meant to be early detection and then theirs one digital. TOTM is due around 20th june.

*DP not DO

Hi all,
I'd like to join your waiting room! I'm 1DPO today. This would be my first baby.
My only concern is that I had some mid cycle spotting, this could be ovulation spotting (although never happened before), or thinking it could have been some irritation from DTD everyday!
Last month I used up two boxes of strip testing in lead up to AF so trying not to do that again this month! Planning to test on 18th or 19th as it could make a nice Fathers Day present for my DO.
I have only been using Clue App to track my cycles, have used this for a few years now so have a good picture and am pretty regular. I've not used any other testing but will try OPKs next cycle if not successful this month.

Hdujsjdjdbru · 07/06/2021 11:39

@Danni744 I also use OPKs I really would have no idea otherwise however mainly because I've been on the pill all my adult life since I was 18 and only came off it a few years ago to conceive my first, and was pregnant first month so I don't have much experience in what my body feels like when it's ovulating! I found OPKs great and they obv worked for me first time round! So I've been using them again.
I had an ulcer pop up last night and googled it 🤣 crazy isn't it. Especially as with my first I had no symptoms at all!

TheDots · 07/06/2021 10:21

@Danni744 the postman!! 😂 my symptom spotting tendencies are off the chart! Have you heard of a website called 'Countdown to Pregnancy'? It gives you day by day 'symptoms' and the likelihood of it relating to a BFP - it's a dangerous way to spend a few hours! I have Premom too - it's great! I log my OPKs there too so it ends up being quite accurate. I've had a random longer cycle this month, didn't ovulate until CD24 so glad I carried on testing otherwise I would have stopped. It's so good that you can tell with body symptoms - I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you when I ovulate without an OPK! Sorry to hear about your smear - I've had that done too, it's not pleasant but definitely worthwhile doing. I was thinking that too about temp - I guess it's just getting into a routine of doing it at the same time each day. Not sure I'm there yet though. Is this baby number 1 for you?

Yay happy 1 DPO 🎉🤣! I’ve Woken up like - ‘my boobs are sore is this a symptom?’, ‘The post mans not arrived yet, is this a symptom?!’ Lol! Im so sorry to hear about your miscarriage 😞 whenever I’ve experienced miscarriages it’s taken a good two months for my cycles to get into a routine. Although I have PCOS I’m actually really lucky that my TOTM is regular. Only thing that messed it up recently was that I had to get cells burned out from a bad smear test. But now I think im at a 28day cycle xx I have an app called Premom, it’s really good to log my TOTM and predict my ovulation days, but I still know I’m better going off the way my body feels. Interested to research the temp measuring thing that people do. But I’ll have to see if Thts suitable for me x

@Danni744 happy 1 DPO! 😂 I'm exactly the same - I need to keep my mind active otherwise I will just get lost in a Google spiral...34 pages later I'm like whaaaaat 😂 I'm using OPKs - they really help me identify my peak and so roughly when I'm ovulating. Although I don't have PCOS I did have a miscarriage earlier this year so my cycles have been all over the place since then but they've still helped me identify when I'm ovulating. We also use pre-seed which helps with lots of BDing!

Can I ask, what are you both doing in regards to checking fertility? Or are you just doing lots of BD? I have PCOS so I can’t measure things like hcg as my hormones are all over the place. I go off CM and just generally how I feel

Lol ladies it is so freaking hard! It takes over my mind 24/7 I will literally just Google the same questions every day and look on threads! I’m hoping assignments will keep my mind occupied while I wait for what feels like 2000 days! Morning walks before work is what I’m planning to keep my mentality moving

Thank TheDots millions of luck to you too 🤞🤩

Oh wow Hdujsjdjdbru you haven’t got long to wait GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK!!!

I am either 6 or 7dpo not entirely sure and counting down the days (hours🤣) until I can on Wednesday.

TheDots · 06/06/2021 20:48

1DPO for me tomorrow too! I'm a testing addict, I already know I'll cave at 10DPO - just accepting it now! 😂 Now to keep myself busy and stop thinking about it all - any tips welcome! Sending you lots of luck that the first month is a good one for you!
