I’m now 3dpo and trying to feel positive. My OPK peak times up with when I had EWCM and I’m sure I had some ovulation pain on Thursday. I’ve never realised it before now but I nearly always have a pain for a few hours in between AF’s so guess I nearly always have it but never paid any attention to what is was or why. Even though the timings all line up I still have a fear that I ovulated much later and missed dtd at the right time. I know it’s irrational 😂

Morning 😊I’m not feeling too hopeful today (8dpo)..temp has dropped quite low which could be a sign of implantation (I had a temp drop on 9dpo when pregnant with DD) but with having lower temps fri&sat I’m worried it is going to be a gradual drop to AF. Tomorrow will tell and I’ll be hoping for a sharp temp rise.

Still feeling rough (along with DH who has a heavy cold) but no pains/cramps/twinges, so finding it hard to believe implantation could have happened/be happening. Sure I would be feeling something by now..

@BlondePotter @Tubbytele It has helped keep my mind off things a bit being home with my daughter (almost 4 years old). I’ve definitely found the overthinking worse when I’m at work.

Praying that it is not a gradual dip to AF 😞

Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 11:46

@Cdoc have a lovely afternoon tea and an afternoon off of Googling 🤣🤣🤣

I've been Googling like no one's business today!! X

Ok i just went toilet and still only there when I wipe but it’s much brighter now and very obvious so I think AF may be coming 4 days early! It’s NEVER this early! Ever. no cramps that I normally get when it comes either but maybe that will come when it gets heavier later.

positive is that now there might be a chance I next ovulate before we go on holiday 😂 maybe my body is telling me something and next cycle is meant to be my cycle and doesn’t want me to miss it 😂 so now I’m happier as might work in my favour.

still don’t understand what the hell my body is doing though and means my LP this cycle is way shorter than last cycle so I don’t really know what my normal LP is now as I’ve only tracked ovulation last 2 cycles and both were completely different! Neither cycle length has been my normal which has been extremely regular for years. Ffs! I think I ovulated my normal this month though as I messaged my partner about EWCM back in April as I had so much (didn’t know what it was then) and it was the same CD as I had it this cycle but I think my LP is shorter than normal this month as I’m definitely never this early on AF it’s CD22! I’ve looked back over 3.5 years of data on my Fitbit app and it’s NEVER happened.

my body is screwing with me!

@vitahelp i love data about my body I obsess over my Fitbit with my sleep and track my periods on it and my steps and calories etc. it helps me maintain my weight. I love doing the opk (when I don’t miss my peak 😂) I like to know stuff ha ha. This is why I’m bothered about the spotting as I don’t know why my body has only just started doing it last 2 cycles on the same dpo each time and only since we stopped using contraception (condoms not been on the pill since before my daughter so it’s not because of that)

it is still only there when wiping and not every time so it’s not even heavy spotting it’s just annoying me. Nothing in my knickers I don’t need a liner. If I wasn’t looking at the toilet paper every time I pee I wouldn’t even know ha ha

@Cdoc afternoon tea sounds lovely, I'm going to one on Tuesday

@Angie2018 I'm feeling good thanks, no plans today but Dh starts a new job tomorrow so would be nice to do something, maybe go for lunch somewhere

I had a couple of gins last night and then felt really sick so I'm wondering if that means anything as I can usually drink a lot before feeling sick 😆

I have a wedding to go to on 9th... And it would definitely be very noticeable if I wasn't drinking, I guess AF will be here before then so I'll definitely know either way

vitahelp · 26/06/2022 11:05

@allgoodthings84 I must admit it probably hinders me more than helps as it is extra data to obsess over. Speaking of… I’ve just checked back on my chart from when I was pg with DD in 2017 and it was 8dpo I had the temp dip back then and now I’ve had a temp dip today at 8dpo, would be very odd if I had followed the exact same pattern.

So I’ve just perfectly demonstrated your point about temp charting and obsessiveness 😂

I don’t do BBT as think it’s something else I would obsess over and I wake a little in the night and often have to get up early hours to pee ha ha. I’m only little so guess I have a little bladder 😂 I always pee a lot

OP posts:
vitahelp · 26/06/2022 10:55

@allgoodthings84 So true, I think I read it was something like 20-25% feel it. First time round I never felt anything, the BBT dip was the only sign and even that may have just been a random drop or bad reading that day.

Morning ladies.

don’t worry about no symptoms even for implantation as everything you read online says most people don’t feel it and only that some people do so think it’s more common to not have symptoms

OP posts:
vitahelp · 26/06/2022 10:39

@Cdoc I really hope so, I was 9dpo with DD but that was 5 years ago and this time I only stopped taking the pill 2 months ago so I don’t know if it’s too soon to have a decent cycle.
I’ll be hyper aware of any feelings today, but going to try and keep busy. It sort of helps that DH is ill as it means I’m disregarding most symptoms as something I’ve caught from him, who knows the headache/sore throat etc I’ve got could be implantation related!

Cdoc · 26/06/2022 10:34

@vitahelp thank you! Don’t lose hope yet, I read 9dpo is the most common day for implantation so keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow. Lots of threads on here also say plenty of people don’t feel anything during implantation so that could be the case for you too!

vitahelp · 26/06/2022 10:31

@Cdoc Hope you enjoy afternoon tea, sounds lovely!

@Angie2018 @OCM19 Keep us updated on any implantation signs!!

Cdoc · 26/06/2022 10:27

@OCM19 its so hard isn’t it. I was willing the first week to go so quickly, now I’m 10dpo I’m just nervous, I’ll be gutted if it’s a bfn. At least now I’m blissfully ignorant that I could be pregnant, even if I’m not.

How is everyone feeling today? Any new symptoms? I had short stabbing pains in one boob last night.. spent the next 30 minutes googling it 🤣otherwise absolutely no symptoms now, cramping stopped yesterday.

@Angie2018 that robin is so sweet. Definitely a sign ✨

Going for afternoon tea with my mum today so hoping that will distract me from googling 10dpo (my google search is just every day so far followed by dpo 🤣)

Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 10:05

@OCM19 yeah so from tomorrow I enter the implantation window!! Oh implantation is imminent for you now, hopefully you get symptoms for that!! I am so impatient...

Well the no sore boobs thing I personally think is a good think. It's what gave it away for me last month. First month EVER I didn't get sore boobs and did conceive even if it was a chemical. I've read many women have this although it can't also be the other way round.

I take the pre conception pregnacare vitamins and I think they are great! Xx

OCM19 · 26/06/2022 09:56

@Angie2018 ohh tomorrow is the countdown for you then! I think I’m 8DPO today, still no sore boobs which is very unusual. Although this is the first month I’ve been taking Vitamin D so that may have something to do with it! When is your AF due? Xx

Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 09:52

@OCM19 haha!! Omg me too!! I just want to be in the implantation window tbh... that starts tomo!! I feel exactly the same as I did about a week ago 😂 why is this such torture!! X

OCM19 · 26/06/2022 09:50

@Angie2018 oh nothing that worries me…just the envious feeling of wanting to join them 😂 the wait is horrible! X

Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 09:48

@OCM19 oh no what's on that thread that worries you?? It's so hard I am also so nervous now... 5dpo and feel NOTHING! Totally agree this journey is hard and stressful!!! X

OCM19 · 26/06/2022 09:42

Aww that robin is cute, we have one that is always in our garden 🥰

Ive just read the ‘Due March 2023’ thread…definitely shouldn’t have, I have mixed feelings now. Like you all, I can already feel the heartbreak of yet another BFN 💔 ohh this journey is the toughest isn’t it, I really hope we get lots of BFP’s later this week.

Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 09:25

Tubbytele · 26/06/2022 09:24

Morning all.

@BlondePotter yea totally agree, my toddler is keeping me very busy. With him I tested very late at 14 dpo because I thought the cramps I was having at the time were due to my endometriosis, had no idea it was due to implantation. The line was super dark but that was also because hcg levels were higher than usual. I've got frer waiting for next Sunday :)

I know we shouldn't wish the time away but I want next weekend already 🤣🤣

Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 09:24

BlondePotter · 26/06/2022 08:43

Hey everyone, another day closer! I must admit that this time round having a 1 year old is a massive distraction from TWW 🙈 6dpo here so obviously will be feeling for any potential implantation 😂
With DD I tested on a cheapie at 10dpo and had the worst squinter but a line on frer at 11dpo so will try and hold off this timewhats everyone up to today?

Hey!! You are a day ahead of me, I am 5dpo today! No symptoms yet!! How you feeling? Just chilling today I am shattered!! What you doing??

This robin came and sat right in front of my mum, daughter and me earlier. Even when we moved around it didn’t fly off. It then hopped away into the bushes when we got up to leave. Wasn’t scared of people at all

This is so cute!! My mum died when I was 17 and I always know when she's around because a robin always comes to say hi!
