Hey all,

Simple post really, according to Flo and my current symptoms, I am due to ovulate today or tomorrow. Still trying to figure out OPK's and so not really been using them.

Just wondered if anybody wanted to go through the Two week window with me.

Have dtd a few times over the past few days and so hoping to have some luck this cycle.

Baby dust to all of you

Ohhh a conception friend! Hi @Cheeeeeeeks! I was thinking late next week, I was worried before then is too early, is it not?

Cheeeeeeeks · 16/03/2022 11:24

@Excited101 your at the same stage as me! I'm 4dpo (I think) what day are you going to test? At 6DPO (friday) or even staturday I'm gna symptom spot like crazy lol that is when I think I had implantation cramps with DD

miamiamia869 · 16/03/2022 08:34

@Gillseybear your symptoms sound very promising indeed. Fingers crossed for you.

@LittleMrsMama I am a day late at the moment but that's nothing new here I'm quite irregular. I was super moody at work and agitated and have some cramping so I'm starting to think it's a no this month. I've got to go passed to the range today so I am tempted to get s test. I don't usually have much self control at all tbh but I think because we have only really just started trying and I know I'm irregular I don't want to upset myself with a negative so I try to hold on!. Lol. How are you getting on? Xxx

Excited101 · 16/03/2022 08:33

Technically it’s 4 days now @alwaysseeingstars but it could be a couple more if I got my ovulation date wrong! 🤣🤦‍♀️

alwaysseeingstars · 16/03/2022 08:15

@Gillseybear sounding promising! Hope you manage to pick up tests tomorrow, will you be testing then or waiting? Smile
I'm 5DPO today, feeling very impatient although not holding much hope as we didn't get to DTD during the fertile window (CB tests being a pain so had no idea when to expect a peak, and just stupidly busy at the mo) other than once on the day of the peak!
@Excited101 I think 3DPO is too early for implantation but I am certainly not an expert! I just googled it myself a couple of days ago when I had light cramping haha!!

@LittleMrsMama yeah I know the felling. One day I am really constipated and the next day I am a bad belly although I do have IBS and so it could be linked to that
8dpo symptoms

  • cramps in my left side but the are mild compared to AF cramps.
-lower back ache
  • really sensitive nipples and by the end of the day my boobs ache and feel full
-am going to the toilet a lot. Everything I drink is requiring me to run to the toilet.
  • constapiation 1 minute and the next a dodgy tummy
  • increased discharge = I constantly feel like I have wet myself. It's ask think and creamy and white with a slight smell to it.
  • nausea that comes and goes and constantly feeling slightly sick
  • a headache that has been pretty constant the past couple of days
  • just generally felling unwell and not like myself.
  • no spotting this month other than on the day of ovulation compared to last month where I spotted from the day of ovulation until I had my really light what I assumed was my AF but I lately bleed a bit overnight and that was it.

Anyway hope everybody else is going okay and not driving them selves to crazy with the TWW

Ah thanks @LittleMrsMama that makes me feel better!
I woke up to some fairly sharp cramps this morning, could that be implantation??!

LittleMrsMama · 16/03/2022 06:25

@Gillseybear I'm constantly going to the loo at the moment too! I've not had that before as an early symptom with my last 2 pregnancies but still hoping it's a sign of something. Hope your partner is feeling better soon and good luck getting the tests tomorrow. I'm 8DPO today so we're at very similar stages!

@Excited101 I have to keep reminding myself how many DPO I am with my app. I've also got those cheapie tests so testing each morning with no expectations yet as still too early but then hope it feels like less of a big deal when I'm a bit further along

Really hoping we get our first BFP here soon! @miamiamia869 how're you getting on?

Excited101 · 16/03/2022 00:21

Honestly! It’s ridiculous! 🤦‍♀️

Aardbeien · 16/03/2022 00:08

@Excited101
You're so excited that you can't keep track of the days 😂 good luck!

Shrekroll · 15/03/2022 21:37

I have been feeling nauseous all evening. Only 6DPO though so trying not to read into it...

Excited101 · 15/03/2022 21:28

Christ! I can’t even get that right! 🤦‍♀️ 3DPO

Excited101 · 15/03/2022 21:24

I’m 5 DPO now (I think) and we dtd twice in my super fertile window (I think! 🤦‍♀️). I’ve got a pack of 20 el cheapo tests from Amazon, just need to waaaaait!

Hello All,

I hope you are doing okay. The past few days have been super weird. I am no longer feeling as unwell but I am constantly popping to the loo and I just do not feel quiet right. To make it worse they cut the grass at work today and it's set my hay fever off. Yay me.

Anyway according to Flo I am 7DPO today although for some reason my ovulation date has changed as it originally predicted Monday.

My partner has been really unwell over the weekend after having four teeth out on Friday and so not had the time to go and get some tests and now back to working again. I am going to pick some up on Thursday as I finish work early that day.

LittleMrsMama · 15/03/2022 20:42

@miamiamia869 you have so much self control!!! Do you have any tips? Here I am testing every day since 7DPO now 😂

Welcome @Shrekroll keeping everything crossed it's first cycle lucky for you!

@alwaysseeingstars I use ovulation strips off Amazon. They're really easy to use like a pregnancy test with two lines. The line to the left eventually becomes really dark which means you're about to ovulate (usually 24-36hrs)

Shrekroll · 15/03/2022 17:43

Thanks everyone. I've been using mumsnet for years but posting on ttc and the prospect of being an actual mum on the horizon feels very different! Fingers crossed for you all Smile

miamiamia869 · 15/03/2022 17:23

Thank you @alwaysseeingstars @BuchananBaby Good luck to you both too.

BuchananBaby · 15/03/2022 17:21

@alwaysseeingstars I don't track but I've been off contraception for years and I go with my mood. When I'm in my fertile week I am quite affectionate then as soon as I ovulate I turn in to the spawn of Satan 😂, worst bit is continuing for a few days when I don't like dp very much 😂

@Shrekroll and @miamiamia869 good luck 💖

alwaysseeingstars · 15/03/2022 11:31

good luck @miamiamia869 , fingers crossed for you!

miamiamia869 · 15/03/2022 10:55

welcome @Shrekroll I am reaching the end of my 2ww. I am due on today. I had a lot of cramping/ twinges mid way 2WW which I thought was possible implantation. I have had a few bouts of feeling nauseous also. However I've been in a terrible mood for two days and got some mild cramping. I've also got a low hard cervix tmi so I thinking I am not pregnant this time. I think I will come on before but if I don't I will be testing Saturday.

Shrekroll · 15/03/2022 09:52

Joining! DH and I have been married for a few years but something clicked recently that I finally feel ready. Have been off the pill for over a year so we DTD on two fertile days. 12 days left to wait...

alwaysseeingstars · 15/03/2022 08:44

Sorry to hear about both of your losses 😢
I’m 2nd cycle TTC #1 - but still in the stage of trying to understand what my cycles are going to be like after having the coil removed in Jan! So not holding out much hope yet, although the CB ov tests have been useful in at least seeing if things are happening!
How do you work out where you are in your cycle? There’s quite a few different ways, I’d love to try BBT but it’s pointless for me as I have such broken sleep!

BuchananBaby · 14/03/2022 18:59

@alwaysseeingstars this is my 2nd cycle ttc no 2. Unfortunately had an early MC at the end of January (wasn't a planned pregnancy) but we decided to ttc after that ❤ how far are you in to ttc?

helloworld88 · 14/03/2022 18:45

@alwaysseeingstars third cycle trying for baby no2! I had a chemical last month

alwaysseeingstars · 14/03/2022 18:21

@Cheeeeeeeks I hope it was just ovulation pains, I wasn’t sure how severe they can be so got myself worried! 🤞for you to have an announcement v v soon!!
Best of luck @BuchananBaby & @helloworld88 , really hope you get your BFP’s soon - how far into trying are you?
