Just wondered if anyone else was at the same stage as me at the mo. First full cycle since miscarriage in January and hoping for our rainbow baby 🌈. I've been (slightly) obsessing over ovulation for the last week or so and I've finally passed that window and waiting patiently to be able to test in a couple of weeks time 🙏

@Rainbowbaby13 thank you it'll probably drop right down tomorrow, I think I'm getting a cold too! Could be the rise in temp explained! X

Rainbowbaby13 · 12/03/2022 08:51

7dpo today woken up with stomach cramps even though my period isn't due for another week

Also might be getting a cold which is typical because it's my birthday tomorrow

@Moosh18 that looks good 🤞🏼 for you

PeanuttyButter · 12/03/2022 08:29

Looks promising @Moosh18

Moosh18 · 12/03/2022 07:52

It's strange isn't it how it can just happen sometimes and then take so long! I got pregnant first month which sadly ended in a MC, then it took 10 months for our DD!!!

Does anyone know anything about temping, I've had a massive jump in temp today at 6/7 dpo??

@Sapphire91

I'm just over halfway through the 2ww at 8dpo. It's also my first proper cycle since my miscarriage in January at 8 weeks. I was also devastated when I didn't get another BFP before my first period. I got pregnant first go last time so I was probably being a bit optimistic that it will happen that quickly again lol! Had some twinging/cramping in my lower back and pelvis over the past two days but attempting to hold out a couple more days before testing since it could also just be PMS. Fingers crossed to see some BFPs from everyone Grin
Wow our timings have been so similar. We fell pregnant on the first time trying too and was a big (but welcome) surprise that it happened so quickly after being on the pill for 10 years. I then miscarried in January and we've been trying since then. I'm sending pregnancy fairy dust to you all ❤

@oxfordinwinter85 @lollyx96 I had really bad congestion, the feeling like I needed to blow my nose but I wasn't snotty. Almost like hayfever. Had that with all my BFPs before I got my BFPs and I don't get it with usual AF. Good luck!

All are welcome! 😊 I'm so sorry for your losses. I think it's completely normal to symptom spot early and feel the urge to test. It's such an anxious time, especially after a miscarriage. I had convinced myself we would conceive as soon as my bleeding stopped and was heartbroken when my first period came. But I now know my cycle properly (which I never did before due to irregular periods on the pill 😬) and have had more chance to heal

Also here with a terrible head cold.

Think I could be 7dpo...but I'm not sure.

Having cramping and stitch like feeling son left side and moves about.

No idea!

lollyx96 · 11/03/2022 10:11

@PeanuttyButter so sorry for your losses, fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏽 also are cold symptoms a sign?! I've got a terrible cold which started 7dpo!!

PeanuttyButter · 11/03/2022 10:06

Can I join guys. 1dpo (I think) TTC number 1, 3 miscarriages last year. I got all my bfps at 10dpo but had cold symptoms and dizziness at about 7-8dpo. Ovulated late this month potentially, so hoping the difference makes a difference.

Rainbowbaby13 · 11/03/2022 08:57

@embob993 😂 I peed on a stick anyway knowing full well nothing would show up 😂

I don't tell my partner about my crazy obsession with testing early all though he knows full well what I'm like after our first TTC journey. He said to me last night I don't even know when you ovulate and I just said don't worry we're covered 😂

embob993 · 11/03/2022 08:15

@rainbowbaby13.. its too early! I can't talk though, I did a test at 5dpo knowing full well it'd be a BFN 🤣 my partner thinks I'm bonkers. It's expensive business ttc.. I've spent a fortune on ovulation tests, prenatal vitamins and pregnancy tests (already 🙈). I got so used to doing ovulation tests every morning that I feel lost not having something to test on lol!

OP posts:
embob993 · 11/03/2022 08:09

It's so nice to have somewhere to share experiences! I'm trying hard not to symptom spot as I can't test until next weekend but I definitely have a hypersensitive smell and achey boobs which were my first symptoms in my last pregnancy.. its just sooo early 🙈

Rainbowbaby13 · 11/03/2022 07:58

@ArcEnCiel2022 sorry for your losses

I'm 6 dpo today and fighting the urge to test. Someone tell me it's too early 😂

PandoraVictoria · 10/03/2022 17:23

I'm deliberately not even thinking about testing because I would def be testing like a maniac 😂 I'm the least patient person though so we'll see how it goes.....

Moosh18 · 09/03/2022 14:44

@ArcEnCiel2022 that's my aim at 10dpo!!

ArcEnCiel2022 · 09/03/2022 14:20

Hi all! Can I join you? I'm 3 dpo today, cycle 3 after two miscarriages (first in September at 7 weeks, and second in December at 11 weeks). I want to wait Friday next week to test (12 dpo), but I'm sure I'll test before 😅

Rainbowbaby13 · 09/03/2022 13:42

I got my positive at 9 dpo last time but my periods not due until 14 dpo I'm going to try and hold out but I usually fail 😂

Moosh18 · 09/03/2022 13:31

@flamingal I find the first 6/7 the worst!!! Least you can symptom spot after that!!!

flamingal · 09/03/2022 13:00

Hi all! Hope everyone is surviving today.
I wish I could just forget and stop counting days! I am 6dpo now, fought the urge to test with an easy at home reminding myself that the instructions say only effective after missed period which is still ages away. Husband had to hide the frers. We are going for a romantic weekend break (we needed something to look forward to after so much sadness) on Friday so will prob test then to see if I can have a couple of Proseccos and enjoy the hot tub!
Really sore boobs today and odd twinges but have had this pretty much every month since we started trying including times we were pregnant and times we were not so trying not to let it get my hopes up.
Being in the tww is literally the most effective way to slow down time!

how's everyone else coping today?

Moosh18 · 09/03/2022 11:49

Hey ladies can I join!? I think I'm 3dpo! But I'm not certain! I haven't had a proper period since stopping breastfeeding 3 months ago! I think I may of had a very light one in feb and I had my usual signs of ovulation three days ago! But have been spotting! I did get a positive opk but who knows!!! Xx

Hannahbobs · 09/03/2022 11:46

Hi! I think I am too.. had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in Feb so have no idea what my cycle is up to now! I think I may have ovulated yesterday as I get pain but not been tracking anything. Plus we only managed to do it twice this month due to our 1 year old not sleeping well, and having family over to visit!

Holly3 · 09/03/2022 11:21

Hi 👋🏼 can I join please. I'm 4DPO TTC baby #3 I think we gave it the best shot this month so 🤞🏼 but also trying not to overthink it! This is definitely the worst part the TWW 😆

lollyx96 · 09/03/2022 10:42

I've had cramps since 2dpo, and tender breasts since 5dpo, sorry if tmi but a lot of milky cm since yday! (6dpo) and also woke up with a terrible head cold today 😷 as it's my first time Ttc I'm not sure if I'm overthinking in my head, I say I'm trying not to symptom spot but it's so hard!! I'm only 7dpo so hoping to wait till 10dpo 🤞🏽
