3dpo....TWW buddies?? ((BFP Updated!))

I'm 5DPO too, feel totally normally but keep reminding myself implantation occurs 6-10DPO so no reason to have symptoms yet! I'm working this weekend so at least I'm distracted. Hope you're all having nice weekends.

Good morning!
I’m 6dpo today and still having the occasional cramps, they seem to be stronger today tho.. My cm is quite creamy and has been the past few days so quite dry for me too.
I can’t wait to start seeing tests though! Even though it’s early I think I’m going to start testing at 9dpo just because it’s my first cycle lol! X

Morning!

7DPO here. No CM for me either (dry the last few days). Had some lower back pain last night before bed - could be PMS related. Sore boobs this morning too but that's usual about this time!

I sat down yesterday and wrote out a TTC/TWW "keep busy" to do list to help keep me distracted. It's filled with random things and odd jobs around the house etc that I can work on until BFP comes along. I love a to do list 🤣

Hope everyone js doing okay today 🙂 xx

Same!! I’ve not told anyone as I don’t want the pressure of ‘has it happened’ plus I like that when we tell people when we are pregnant it’ll be a total surprise. So it’s nice to be able to talk about it somewhere.
There was a chat on here a month or 2 ago that I saw and quite a few for BFP so I’m hoping it’s lucky threads and we’ll all get lucky too! ✨

I'm up for that @Beentheredunnthat I'll let you guys know if I end up caving lol. I'm the same, no one else knows. It's nice to be able to chat to you guys about things, it's helping to keep me sane! Xx

Love that @Rosiearthur! Theres gonna be so many BFP's in this group! Got everything crossed for everybody. Can we keep each other updated with our testing? Feels so nice to not be alone in my excitement; Ive not told friends or familt that I am officially trying so havent got anybody apart from DH to talk to about it x

@Ellbelll agreed It’s going sooo slow! I know what you mean about needing to watch the test develop - I’m exactly the same.
I spoke to my OH about testing and he said he’d like us to check test together so we find out at same time - rather than me finding out and planning to surprise him somehow.

Feel pretty invested in this month - been tracking with OPKs for several months and taking prenatals and don’t think we could have BD’ed anymore 😅. Also realistic that it’s the first time trying and know it’s not always plain sailing so lots of unknowns!

Got a positive feeling that this is a lucky group and there’ll be lots BFP’s in the next week or so xx

@Rosiearthur I am in the exact same boat! My first cycle too, I’m only one day ahead of you. It’s going sooo slow! I’ve got some FRERs too for Friday hehe! My OH has asked me if he can look at the test before I do, not sure how I feel about it because I’m a ‘watch a test as the dye runs’ kinda girl haha xx

@Ellbelll I’m noticing some aches also and nipple soreness.
I’m not sure if I’m over analysing every slightest “symptom” as it’s my first cycle TTC.
I think I’m 4dpo now so I’d think it’s still too early to have implantation but clueless!
I’m going to try and hold off testing until 10/9/22 (next Saturday morning!) I’ve got the FRER tests already xx

@Recordedsnape i have been the exact same! Past two nights I’ve been up to pee, I never usually do that! I’m just hoping I’m not over-analysing it, I do keep getting slight dull aches… fx this is the month for us all 🤞🏻

@Bparb aw wow that must have been a nice surprise! That's good to know and makes me feel a little more at ease when experiencing no symptoms, thanks for sharing.

@Recordedsnape sounds promising. Wednesday isn't too long to go now!

I miscalculated AF last month, so think I will be due on Friday or Saturday next week. My own fault for not keeping better track of dates! I will try and hold off until Friday to test unless AF arrives.

Sending lots of baby dust to everyone, here's hoping for some BFPs 🤞

Just in case it helps anyone (or confuses you all more) we are currently trying for baby 2.
When I was pregnant I had NO symptoms before a positive test. Honestly not one, by the time it came to test I said to my husband, who was desperate for a baby ‘don’t get your hopes up as I think we’re out for this month’ and then when I tested it was positive I was so surprised I made him come home from work early to tell him
So no symptoms doesn’t always mean no baby!

I'm feeling good and as you say @Recordedsnape 1 day closer 🤞

Wish I could be more chill in the TWW and think of something other than when I can test and do I have any symptoms. Exciting though that statistically there could be a few BFP's waiting to happen in this group.

Wishing everybody luck for the next few weeks and looking forward to seeing your lines!

@Rosiearthur haha, I might give SMEP a go at some point! Although not sure I would be able to keep up with all the BD'ing!

@Beentheredunnthat I agree with @Recordedsnape - a BFP is possible at 9DPO, although it can be a little early for a lot of people.

@Recordedsnape snap! The symptoms I had the first couple of days disappeared yesterday too. I read that early symptoms are more likely to be rising levels of progesterone after ovulation. It seems to be quite common not to have symptoms at all during and after implantation! Not particularly helpful for us when we are hyper alert lol.

@Bparb Haha yep! I seem to go from one extreme to another in the same day, it's a bit of a rollercoaster for sure! Xx

Hi all!
1dpo here 👀😂 second cycle
is it just me that feels like 2 different people. There’s the me pre ovulation who’s like ‘if it happens it happens, I’ll test when I’m due on’ and then there’s the me after ovulation that’s Googling everything and counting down the seconds until 10dpo so I can test early

Hiya Ladies!

I'm currently 5dpo, 3 cycles in and used opks for the first time this month so hoping that has upped my chances.

It's shocking how much time I have spent this week thinking about which day I'm gonna test on, I've already conceeded that I was be testing early. Is 9dpo too early to test do we think?
