Anyone else due to test around 30th June/1st July?

@allgoodthings84 ah thank you! And I hope you do too!!

Yeah I get that, it is planned and I do miss the spontaneous times of it being super passionate and exciting. Not that it's not good now it's just that doing it so much on schedule just isn't the same!

Exactly a couple of times is better than none!

Exactly you are not too old at all. I'm 33 and worry though so I totally get it!!

TTC deffo is one of the most stressful things isn't it!

I'm 6DPO and had some cramps this morning and felt like AF was about to start which was odd but I've been pregnant twice before and never had that so could literally be anything.

I'm planning on testing on Saturday at 10DPO- I'll be with my best friend for the night so would kinda like to test with her 🤞🏼

@allgoodthings84 you are definitely not too old at 37 especially knowing your partner is younger and you have a child already!!

My friend came off the pill at 37 and the next month she was pregnant so first try 😊

I agree, I actually think the waiting is the worst and I am now like come on cycle 6 give me that BFP!

That and I'd quite like sex to go back to how it was and not on schedule 🤣🤣🤣

It's so annoying we are all taught how easy it is to get pregnant because if I had have known I would have started trying last year 🤣🙈

@allgoodthings84 I agree, the TWW is actual torture isn't it! How on earth do people relax and forget about it 🤣

Yeah I won't lie, I am always tired because I am a rubbish sleeper too, I love my food, always get sore boobs after ovulation & I get cramps only on the day I start bleeding. But I do get cervix aches a few days running up to AF.

The lack of sore boobs & cervix pains were my signs.

But I think I've learnt over the last 5 months is that some symptoms can be something and some may not. I thought implantation was the start of a very early period and got really sad for a day until I realised it lasted two wipes, cramps were so mild, had headaches and bloated stomach for two days and then realised oh ok that's not period 🤣

@allgoodthings84 i’m 3DPO so a day behind you. I’m determined not to symptom spot as like PP said, every month I over analyse! I bet I will though 🙄 the next few weeks are really going to drag! Xx

@allgoodthings84 it's strange how we do this to ourselves isn't it!! I worry every cycle that I won't ovulate, then I do, that the egg isn't a good one, that I haven't had sex enough even though it's 3-4 times in my fertile period every time, that the sperm wasn't a good one, that I have no symptoms at 3dpo etc etc etc 🤣🤣

I think on the basis I had a chemical last month and I 100% had text book implantation symptoms, squishy high cervix, high temp & no sore boobs, I think il worry that if I get sore boobs that will be me done for the month 🤣 always get sore boobs after ovulation and the one month I caught I didn't!

I have started temping this month and I also wake up in the night sometimes and my data has been pretty spot on. My temp started dipping yday & I got my peak opk yesterday evening, another low temp today & I suspect ovulation will happen tomorrow or later today.... so I would say you could always try it? It's helped me for sure x

@allgoodthings84 hey! Haha I do this every cycle then get sad as I don't feel "pregnant" at like 5dpo then have to tell myself off 🤣🤣

I knew last month when I had a chemical because I had zero symptoms when I always get sore boobs after ovulation. I still told myself I was out that month even before implantation was possible 🤣🤣

I got my peak today so due to ovulate sometime over the next day or so. Hoping Wednesday so we get to BD again three more times!!

Had my temp dip today... first time tracking BBT so very interesting 🥰

@Cdoc haha omg I totally get you!! I am due to ovulate Wednesday and had my static smiley today so hit peak this PM and I am already excited to test 🤣🤣

That's rubbish you miscarried it really is. I guess sometimes things just aren't meant to be - I keep telling myself the right egg will come along eh!!

I also have so much hope for you too! 💜💜

@OCM19 @Norfolk1983 @CinderellaFant @pongom sending you lots of baby dust too! Let’s hope for lots of positives in this group xx

@Angie2018 how much is this TWW dragging!! The temptation to test is too much, but just trying to tell myself there isn’t any point as it will be negative anyway. Let’s see how long I listen to myself for!

Ah I’m sorry to hear covid screwed with your cycles, that’s absolutely typical isn’t it. We’re actually only on cycle 2, we were lucky to fall pregnant first cycle (on our wedding night!) but just wasn’t meant to be. We also caught covid at our wedding and I can’t help but think that could be part of the reason we miscarried, but I guess we will never know. We postponed our wedding 3 times due to covid so we were desperate to get trying as soon as we were married!

I’m so sorry your first good cycle after all that was a chemical. I’ve got so much hope for you you have much better luck this time 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Now just to make it through the next 10 days test free 🤣we can do it 😊♥️

@pongom ah ok I understand now! I think it is just time then if there are potential issues but you are both still so young. Are you both taking the correct vitamins? X

Hi can I join? Today is day 4PO. I have 3 dc already who I got pregnant very easily with, then I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks in January and been trying ever since with no luck 😭. This month was my first ever using the OPK's so I'm hoping I have better luck this month.

Yes, we've been timing around ovulation the whole time we've been trying as well as having regular sex throughout cycle due to PCOS. Unfortunately I have PCOS and he has some poor sperm morphology. Sorry, my last post maybe wasn't clear, partner has a child, I don't have any children yet. I'm in my late 20s, he's mid-30s!

I'm remaining hopeful, I've lost a bit of weight recently (not majorly overweight anyway but trying to get BMI below 25 to try and help things along!) so hopefully that will work in our favour! x

@pongom that's a shame they won't help you!! Have you been timing sex correctly? If you don't mind me asking what is your age? If you have children already both of you then surely it's just a matter of time!! X

Yes, TTC baby #1, I have a DSC already though. Unfortunately, because DP has a DC already we aren't able to get any fertility help on the NHS so we've just got to keep trying! Hopefully it'll happen one month soon. Approaching the 3 year mark of trying feels scary because it feels more impossible with every passing year! Fingers crossed!

@pongom is this your first baby? We are also doing SMEP too this month! I will only be 9dpo on the first but I'm going to test early this month if I don't have PMS symptoms x

I'll be testing on 1st July, I'll be 14DPO. I try to leave it late enough to give my period chance to start if it's going to so I can avoid the heartache of testing!

We've been trying for around 2.5/3 years so not feeling mega hopeful but did try SMEP this month for the first time. Exhausting 😂

@allgoodthings84 it's funny how when you are with the right person things change! I was the same with my ex husband, didn't want kids. Now with my partner of 4.5 years and want kids!!

Hopefully it wasn't Covid!!

I totally agree it's hard when you want it as you doubt all the signs. 🤣🤣

Hope it's ok to join! I'm due on the 30th, 3DPO!

TTC #2, we weren't planning to try yet for our second but I got pregnant in March ' by mistake' and if was a massive shock, we then were both really excited but unfortunately I miscarried. We decided to wait a couple months before trying again because we have a holiday planned for Jan/moving house in Jan so the timing wasn't right, so this month is our first month officially trying!
