Testing around 21st May

@ZazuMoon I agree! But this is surely too early for any real symptoms! Same again this morning opened the fridge and it smelled very "fridgey" 😂

@Tropicana1 Salad and cereal are not usually particularly heavily scented though 🤔 I’m encouraging the overthinking. I don’t know why I do it to myself!
Sorry to everyone else who has experienced pregnancy loss and let’s hope this thread brings some luck to some of us!
I too started out all breezy and ‘if it happens, it happens’ but now that it hasn’t happened I need to revert back to slightly obsessive tracking of my body throughout my cycle. It was only when I became more focused on tracking my ovulation properly that I conceived my first, which is the opposite of the ‘just relax’ guidance we usually hear. 🙄

Hello all, after vowing not to become as obsessed and on these boards all the time, since we decided to try for number 2 I'm back! This will be the first cycle me and DH have been TTC number 2, our DS is 2. We sort of half arsed it this month - I started off all breezy and relaxed, and then as soon as I got closer to ovulation started obsessing again. In the end I don't quite think we timed it all that well as by the time I ovulated we had both come down with colds/DS wouldn't cooperate by being awake all evening...

I think I'm 2/3 DPO but haven't bought any tests yet, figured I'll just wait until AF is late who am I kidding that's obviously not how it's going to go

hey all, I’ll be testing towards the end of the month. On CD 17 but don’t don’t know if I have ovulated yet because my OPK readings show that I’ve had continued l
smaller peaks after my main peak and I can’t work out what it means. Very frustrating.

Anyway, I’m cycle 1 of TTC number 2. My DD is 9 in July. I had an ectopic pregnancy last month. Back in the TTC game. I’m reallly bad at getting obsessed 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Tropicana1 & @ZazuMoon thank you both!

I will be in the same boat as you symptom spotting in the next few days 😂fingers crossed for you. These two weeks are the worst I’m so impatient

Hi @Rellington21 - sorry to hear about you MC

@ZazuMoon I'm also majorly symptom spotting 😂 4DPO and just opened the fridge and smelt a bag of salad in the bottom drawer - I had a really heightened sense of smell with number 1 so I'm probably just noticing smells more because I'm looking for it

Hello @Rellington21 . Sorry to hear about your MMC but it is so good that you keep feeling positive about it. I keep imagining I am having symptoms but at 5/6dpo that is unlikely. I did really feel that I could smell the wheat in my son’s breakfast cereal this morning though, but it is probably psychosomatic. Smell is how I found out with my son.
How is everyone doing and does anyone else have phantom symptoms?

Hi guys, can I join - AF due 25th so slightly after you! TTC #1 cycle 10 with a MMC in October (was at the 12 week scan and stopped developing after 8 weeks) ended up having a D&C. Feeling positive about this cycle but I always am and then ends in BFN! My TWW technically starts tomorrow according to my app. How is everyone feeling?

I’m in. This is the first time I’ve acknowledged to anyone (other than DH of course!) that we are trying to conceive after a long time of tests and hoping in silence. Nothing obvious flagged up in blood tests or scans. Trying to conceive number 2. DS is getting on for 3. Does anyone else wonder if life is potentially all kicking off down there right now or is that just me? 😁

Due to test on the 20th fingers crossed

Hey @thinkingoutloud2 I am due to test on the 23rd but planning to test on the 21st on 12dpo because I’m at a wedding that day and just can’t help myself (also may decide if I have a drink or not!!). I’m still in my fertile window so trying not to overthink it but know I’m going to find the 2ww so tough!!

Hey @thinkingoutloud2 I'll be testing around then too (or a few days before in all likelihood 😂) positive OPK yesterday so assuming today as ovulation day 😊
I tend to have a slightly shorter luteal phase I think so usually only around 11 days between ovulation and day 1 of my period
