Currently 1DPO (I think). Got a positive OPK on Thursday so assuming I ovulated either yesterday or maybe today. Have had sore boobs, bloating and cramping today.

Anyone else at the same stage who wants to wait with me?

Hello
Sorry to jump on
just looking for some advice I’m currently 5dpo but feeling super rubbish, past couple of days I’ve struggled with feeling tired, my boobs are heavy, today I feel so nauseous. In my head I think it’s to early to feel anything but wondered if anyone else had felt anything this early

Thank you xx

sunnyside257 · 27/06/2021 17:19

@abbs1 - I think by 8-9DPO you should have already implanted, unless implantation is late. I think the latest is 12DPO. Just regurgitating things I've read online 😂

@rathernotshare - I'm the exact same. Feeling blue now. Also had a good feeling about this month but feeling a bit deflated now. Just keep telling myself it's still early! Tempted to get a frer but don't really want to waste money

I've been in a pit of despair all day after a BFN at 9DPO, feel daft but I had a good feeling about this month and now the good feeling is gone!

JAL2 · 27/06/2021 16:45

And looking back at my glow calendar I conceived on day 12/14/15 and this month we DTD on day 12/15 soooo if AF turns up this month I'll try that method and also the conceive plus lubricant...I'm convinced that helped!

I'm going potty aren't I ConfusedHmmGrin

JAL2 · 27/06/2021 16:33

Not tested yet, I will do later.

I was looking at previous threads and my first pregnancy I had a clear line on a frer at 9DPO... keep thinking how early that is really Smile

Hey everyone,
I know I'm tagging right on the end of the thread here but lovely reading where everyone's at, and seeing some positive tests in the mix Flowers

I'm right at the beginning of a tww here and it's going to be a long one. I've been off the pill for a few months but irregular and this is the first time I've identified the LH surge using OPKs.
I had a really strong peak friday and saturday at noon and felt a ovulation twinge (maybe!) Saturday night.

We dtd Friday night and this morning (Sunday) so really feeling like we've caught the window.

Can't help but be hopefully but even if no BFP coming I feel like it's been a step forward catching the surge this time Smile
It would be my first so now real hope of symptom spotting- not that it will stop me trying Hmm

Wishing you all luck with the testing x

abbs1 · 27/06/2021 16:07

Currently 8/9 DPO and got some cramping. Is it too early for implantation or is it sign af is on her way? Af isnt due till 5th of July.

Rachy11 · 27/06/2021 15:18

I think I’m going to test tomorrow. Il be 10/11 dpo. I convinced myself I was but then today starting to feel like I do the run up to af so not holding out much hope.

SATCfan · 27/06/2021 13:42

[quote overtherainbow21]@SATCfan I know, I wish you could find out immediately when TTC, the uncertainty is a challenge. Do you have any symptoms or just the feeling? I think I had that knowing feeling with my second pregnancy, but looking back I think that was based on feeling quite woozy and a bit nauseous in the days before... AF due Friday, I'll only be 9DPO tomorrow but I know I won't be able to wait! I hate the disappointment of a BFN so am trying to brace myself...[/quote]
@overtherainbow21
My AF due on Friday too (I think); I'm not 100% sure if I'm working it out correctly but that would be 14dpo. have quite a lot of symptoms that I had in DC1's pregnancy, swollen boobs with veins, have vomited 2x, queasy, twinges down below and tummy but the biggest one for me is that the symptoms of my autoimmune condition are almost gone even though I was due to take my meds one week ago (not taken as waiting if BFP - meds need tweaking if BFP). Despite the 'knowing' I'll still be so gutted if it isn't a BFP of course. Fingers crossed for everyone - when you planning on testing?

[quote Lozzacol]@abbs1 omg I know ivr struggled just getting to 7dpo! The tww is a killer. How many dpo are you?[/quote]
Oh it is! Im struggling so much 🙈 im around 8/9 dpo. Not sure on exact ovulation day. Wish it was a 1 week wait not 2!

Lozzacol · 27/06/2021 12:22

@abbs1 omg I know ivr struggled just getting to 7dpo! The tww is a killer. How many dpo are you?

abbs1 · 27/06/2021 12:17

@Lozzacol im trying to wait till next Friday to test. Not sure if i can wait that long

Lozzacol · 27/06/2021 11:49

Hey ladies, hope it's OK to join. 7dpo and getting impatient! Stupidly took a ic this morning obviously a BFN. Trying to wait until next weekend to test but I dont think I have the willpower!

sunnyside257 · 27/06/2021 11:29

@JAL2 - I tested this morning and it was BFN. 😕 Feel slightly disappointed but I knew it was going to be negative anyways. I'm only 8 or 9DPO and I just used a cheapie strip test.

Have you tested?

OP posts:
JAL2 · 27/06/2021 10:11

I'm testing today, it's definitely too early and will probably get a BFN but I had white watery CM yesterday Confused anyone else testing?

sunnyside257 · 27/06/2021 09:44

Congratulations @GemLooper !! I defo see a line Grin

rathernotshare · 27/06/2021 09:34

@GemLooper congratulations!!

I wish I was a person that just knew, sometimes I think if I say 'I know I'm pregnant' I will be but it's not worked so far! BFN on an FRER 9-10DPO, hope dwindling!

BritInNZ · 27/06/2021 08:27

Well I would love to be one of those people that just 'knows' 😂 even when I've had months where I've felt confident I've always got a BFN! Maybe it's because I'm trying for #1 so have no experience. Pretty sure it's a no this month too and I'm only 6 DPO!

SATCfan · 27/06/2021 08:02

@overtherainbow21 thanks! I'll report back - totally desperate to take a test despite the 'knowing'... uncertainty is so hard isn't it? But I'm going to wait a bit longer. Good luck managing to hold off testing. When is your af due?

overtherainbow21 · 27/06/2021 07:51

@GemLooper looks like a line to me! Does it have colour? Very promising that it showed up in 2 mins, whenever I've had a BFN it's been stark white nothing like that. Good luck for the retest!

@sunnyside257 thanks and good luck if you're testing today! I'm trying to hold out til tomorrow but totally driving myself mad with symptom-spotting in the meantime...nauseous since yesterday and temps are still rising but probably imagining it...

@SATCfan welcome! I'm not sure about the gut feeling, but hope this is your month!

SATCfan · 27/06/2021 07:07

@GemLooper I definitely see a line, how exciting! Massive congratulations Smile

SATCfan · 27/06/2021 07:06

Morning, just joining now. New to mumsnet and just posted on another chat too as in TWW and have this gut feeling or more like a 'knowing' that I'm pregnant. Can't explain it, anyone else had it? I'm 9DPO. We have a dd and when ttc her I thought I was pregnant but wasn't a few times but the feeling was more desperate/over analysing - now it's more a knowing?!? I'm aware if there is a BFP it doesn't mean it'll stick but at this time I've just got this massive gut feelings.. any thoughts? Baby dust to everyone DaffodilDaffodil

GemLooper · 27/06/2021 06:59

@T2710

You can see here how much darker the line was on FRER. DPOs are in the captions
These photos are so helpful! Thanks T2710.
GemLooper · 27/06/2021 06:56

[quote BritInNZ]@GemLooper I see a line! Maybe try tomorrow or the day after and then report back? Exciting!![/quote]
I'll definitely report back tomorrow. I've found it really helpful to look at everyone else's squinters!
