Hey ladies, 5 dpo, 2nd cycle TTC 2nd child. Said I wouldn't obsess, obviously failing. First month off birth control pill was utter hell of pains/cramps/nausea. This month is much better, but still have cramping, could strongly feel ovulation/what side it was from, and had days of weird tingling at that side, and now have stuffy nose/beginning to feel nausea. I know it is just the egg traveling down and progesterone rising, and it likely won't lead to anything though... trying to level set expectations, but really want a BFP. Also 36 so time is an issue/MC rates are high. Hoping for BFPs for all of us!

I think I'm about 1 dpo. Maybe 2.

Had ovulation cramps this month which I'm not aware of getting other months.

How exciting for you @Beck3115 😃

Hi ladies, just thought I’d check in. So last month after thinking I was pregnant when we weren’t actively trying my DP has told me he definitely wants a baby now.

He’s been so lovely, this would be our first baby together, though I have a 5 year old who he treats as his own and is amazing with.

Im excited about trying as my son was a pill baby. It’s nice to feel so wanted ❤️ But I’m nervous as my pregnancy and delivery weren’t good last time.

Sorry for the long post, I just feel like I’m bursting to tell someone 😂

How far along is everyone this cycle now?

whymewhyme · 12/11/2021 20:32

Well I'm back on the TWW, I've had terrible ovulation pain, we needed to dtd lastnight but i couldn't face it. We did manange to do it a few days befor though.

Hi everyone! I’m new here and hoping to join this TTC chat ☺️

Back story: I started trying with my husband for our first baby in April 2021- fell pregnant after having sex ONCE on ovulation, no OPK’s etc just an app. Thought to myself ‘this is easy! How lucky I am’

Unfortunately my luck ran out, and we had a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks.
This is our 3rd cycle ttc since my surgery, and I just want to be pregnant again 😣
I use OPK’s alongside an app….

Currently 5dpo… according to my OPK which peaked last Wednesday night. The app says I’m 8dpo but I didn’t get an surge or peak around the supposed O day, so I’m counting from my OPK.
Do you think this is the best?
Timing of BD wasn’t great as I was working to my app.
Did manage to DTD on the day of O according to OPKs but now I’m so confused.
Just turned 35 and am so worried time is running out!
Symptom this cycle (cos I am majorly guilty of symptom spotting too!)
Sharp stabbing pain, v painful in right ovary on 4dpo,
Heavy uterus,
Yellow CM (not normal for me) that has stopped now.
Very weird dreams leaving me feeling tired and stressed when I wake.
Thanks for all your support! X

Sorry @bundaberg84 I tagged the wrong person. That was for @maggiegary

Thatsmoneyhoney · 10/11/2021 10:10

I'm 14dpo. No af and bfn this morning so I'm sure af will arrive soon. @Bubsoneandtwo and @bundaberg84. Have you got pics of your faint positives? I have very good eyes if you want a second opinion?? 😁😁

Bundaberg84 · 10/11/2021 08:46

@Bubsoneandtwo yes, both times I ended up being pregnant. Only symptom I had really.

Bubsoneandtwo · 09/11/2021 23:17

Hey all
I am 9DPO and according to my app AF is in 6 days
I did a cheap test and could see a feint line in the daylight but now I have periody type pains and achey legs.. I do have slightly shorter than avg cycles at 26 days so anything is possible I guess. Did anyone else get period pains then a BFP?

maggiegary · 09/11/2021 10:08

Hi guys! I've not been on here for a couple of weeks!
I am on my 4th day of being late, I got the faintest of faint lines on a clear blue last night and this morning. My Husband says there's nothing there 🙄. I've had 2 chemical pregnancies the past two months and I had lots of symptoms both times, but nothing this month!

Thatsmoneyhoney · 08/11/2021 17:39

@Curlywurly3 that's great news for your friend 😊 I've just had iui with a clinic and the first try failed. I've had all the tests and apparently I'm super fertile which makes it even more frustrating and obvs the sperm is good quality because it's from a sperm bank so all checked etc. Oh well when the time is right it'll be my turn.

Curlywurly3 · 08/11/2021 17:09

Thanks @Bundaberg84 I’m really going to try and chill this cycle.

@Thatsmoneyhoney my friend was about to go for tests as nothing was happening and she got her BFP on cycle 14. I hope you get yours soon x

Thatsmoneyhoney · 08/11/2021 04:38

@giftswap2020 it sucks doesn't it. It seems to be everyone else's turn! Our turn will come though!! How long have you been TTC? This is cycle 15 for me 💔

giftswap2020 · 07/11/2021 23:43

I've been quite down this month about AF arriving. It's hit me like a ton of bricks😭

Went to a friends house for a get together. Met another friend who was 32 weeks pregnant, and glowing. Then my other best friend, who knows I'm feeling crap, announces to all our other friends she's 9 weeks. 😭😭 it was really crap. I've been crying myself to sleep the last few nights. Really hope next month is my month, can't keep doing this. Thinking to try SMEP next month.

Bundaberg84 · 07/11/2021 18:43

So sorry @Curlywurly3, I experienced something similar last cycle. Spotting started 3 days before predicted AF, never had that before. So annoying! But I'm still holding up hope for you though 🤞

@Thatsmoneyhoney still not out before AF has arrived! Even though implantation is at 9dpo on average, you could potentially still implant today so wouldn't test positive yet!

Thatsmoneyhoney · 07/11/2021 18:33

Hey. How's everyone doing today? I am now 11dpo. Tested earlier and BFN :( starting to feel as though AF is on its way as well. How poo!!

Curlywurly3 · 05/11/2021 14:42

Still no AF after the one bit of spotting I had yesterday morning, technically due tomorrow. I haven’t had spotting like that before AF so I did have a glimmer of hope but I did another test and it’s a very clear BFN. I have full blown AF symptoms so will probably come on as expected tomorrow. If I was pregnant a FRER would have picked it up today. I hope everyone else is ok x

Sunshine085 · 04/11/2021 22:04

@Beck3115 I have a short lp but I am able to lengthen it to about 14days after 3 or 4 months by taking a 1000mg Vitamin C supplement daily.

@Rachipops best of luck in your ttc journey.

giftswap2020 · 04/11/2021 19:39

Yup, wine and as hot a bath as I can stand, my favourite things that I gave up this month!

Bundaberg84 · 04/11/2021 16:21

@Curlywurly3 and @Beck3115 sorry for AF showing up. Hugs to you, and do some stuff you wouldn't be able to do if you were pregnant. That's at least what I'm doing everytime AF gets me. Hot baths, red wine, sushi.
My AF was two days earlier last cycle as well. At least it was two days less limbo, I guess.

Curlywurly3 · 04/11/2021 13:09

It’s the not knowing I find difficult. Once I know where I’m at I can be focussed and positive on the next cycle. AF isn’t in full swing for me yet so I reckon CD1 would be tomorrow. Looks like we’re cycle buddies x

Beck3115 · 04/11/2021 12:57

I was due a couple of days ago, the cramps have been awful so i knew it was creeping up
