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 😂

6dpo here we go into symptom spotting territory 🤣 I must resist that but can force myself to not test (I have steely willpower, lost 8 stone 11 years ago) but I can’t force myself out of my own head

@Cdoc I hope you do all symptom spot so I can concentrate on yours and forget about thinking about mine 😂

Me too, so much hope for lots of bfp in this group 🤞🏼🤞🏼 lots of positivity (and probably a fair bit of symptom spotting thrown in so sorry I’m advance!)

I can’t wait to hopefully see lots of bfp here end of next week 🤞

Hi all, lovely to catch up on your posts, it’s so natural to obsess over every twinge.

i’m 3DPO today and my left boob has started to feel a bit sore, but this has been the same for the past 5 cycles so not holding out much hope.

@allgoodthings84 I’m also going to test next Friday 1st July 🤞🤞 x

Hi @BlondePotter. Ovulation is usually 24-36 hours after a peak OPK so if you got peak yesterday then likely ovulation today so tomorrow would be 1DPO 😊

Hi everyone! I reckon I'm 1dpo as I had a good opk yesterday (even though I swore I wouldn't use them yet 😂) abd DTD yesterday and a few days prior
I have a daughter who is 12m but as I'm 35 next birthday and dh is nearly 40 we thought we would just get on with TTC again.
Last time took a year off the pill then 5 cycles but my cycles were irregular with some as long as 60 days 😫 since stopping BF my cycles have been 30 days regular which is amazing

@vitahelp if I started testing early I would be a nightmare so making myself wait at least until AF is due. I would love to test early and would if I knew I wouldn’t get so stressed out ha ha

@Cdoc it’s great you can keep busy at the weekend. That’s the bit that will drag the most

Even the Ovia app is encouraging my obsessive behaviour.. no Ovia I can’t have implanted yet so there won’t be any symptoms!! 😡

Anyone else due to test around 30th June/1st July?
vitahelp · 21/06/2022 19:32

@allgoodthings84 I want to wait until 11dpo as that’s when I got positive with DD but can see myself caving on 9dpo, it will end up being a regret no doubt and a waste of money. I’ll try and stick to 11dpo which would be Wed 29 June.

@CinderellaFant That’s good that you’re busy over the weekend, it will help pass the time and stop you overthinking. I’ve no plans this weekend - typical! Will be going down a symptom spiral probably!

Cdoc · 21/06/2022 17:46

@CinderellaFant it’s so difficult isn’t it because pre period symptoms are so similar, especially the food cravings for me, I want to eat everything in sight.

it’s good you have a weekend distraction! Wishing we could go to sleep and wake up in a week which is awful 🤣

CinderellaFant · 21/06/2022 15:52

So difficult. I'm definitely cramping today however I was definitely cramping last month too and was so sure that I was pregnant then but wasn't. I think a lot of it's in my head.

I am going away for the weekend on Friday til Sunday so hoping that will take my mind off it then I will probably start testing on Monday, I don't think I'll be able to hold off any longer. That will be 4 days before my period is due.

Hi @vitahelp and @CinderellaFant when are you planning to test?

I’m due AF 30th/1st so won’t test until 1st or 2nd July. I don’t want to test to early and get a negative then be up and down on whether it’s a true negative etc. If I wait I won’t stress.

OP posts:
Cdoc · 21/06/2022 15:49

@CinderellaFant I am also 5dpo and have been on just about every website looking at symptoms by day post ovulation!

When will you test? I’m hoping to make it to 12dpo, but the thought of another week is unbearable!

vitahelp · 21/06/2022 15:46

@CinderellaFant It’s difficult isn’t it. I can’t seem to accept that there is no way I could have symptoms before implantation (currently 3DPO) and keep searching in the hope of finding another opinion! I’ve got a week left before I can test. With my DD I got a bfp on 11dpo but it was very faint. No doubt I’ll still test earlier than that this time though, 9 dpo earliest (6days from now)

@Angie2018 I hope it helps in some way. I’m glad to have that past data even though it was 5 years ago but it also makes me a bit obsessive comparing that cycle to my current one.

Angie2018 · 21/06/2022 15:39

@vitahelp charting rather 🤣

Angie2018 · 21/06/2022 15:38

vitahelp · 21/06/2022 15:06

I hope this doesn’t fuel any obsessiveness but I did get what could have been an implantation dip at 8dpo when I was pregnant with my daughter 5 years ago. I’ve attached my chart below.
So for anyone who is charting and notices similar (at 6-12 dpo) it could be a good sign.

Thanks for this! I am chatting this month!

CinderellaFant · 21/06/2022 15:16

5 days PO and I'm obsessing over every twinge and symptom 😭😭 every month I tell myself I'm not going to do it anymore as I just get my hopes up and be disappointed but here I am googling 'early pregnancy symptoms' 🙄🙄

When's everyone going to test 🫣

vitahelp · 21/06/2022 15:08

@Cdoc yes it is dragging so much! I can’t believe I’m already like this on the first cycle!

vitahelp · 21/06/2022 15:07

Forgot to attach the chart, here it is.

Welcome @vitahelp ! Sending you lots of baby dust!

The days are absolutely dragging, this tww is going so slowly?! Just keep telling myself early testing is a waste of money (as well as disheartening) but the temptation won’t go away!

vitahelp · 21/06/2022 14:38

Hi everyone! I’m currently 3dpo, first cycle trying (already have a daughter age 4).
I’m already obsessing but not felt any symptoms yet (which is impossible before implantation anyway) and just wishing the days away now!
