1dpo - it's going to be a long two weeks if anyone wants to symptom spot with me

I don't have a clue what, if any; symptoms I should be looking for at this stage (4/5DPO)

I woke up this morning and ached ALL over - especially thighs and lower back. Not sure if I'm just getting sick. 😂🫣

Has anybody any symptoms yet? I feel like I am out already as I don't have a single symptom at 5 or 6dpo. Usually I would have had twinges and soar boobs at this stage 😔

Hi all, couldn't resist hopping on this thread. I'm 37 trying for a 2nd child and I think I'm 1 DPO. May sound daft saying 'may' but I had a miscarriage in July at 9 weeks and it took another 10 weeks for my cycle to get back to some sense of normality.

So sorry to hear so many ladies on here have experienced a miscarriage or chemical and fingers crossed none of us have to experience that again 🤞 Good luck to us all 🍀

Wow so many of us with similar ovulation dates, can I join?

I also ovulated on the 29th, TTC #1 cycle 1. I usually have a 25 day cycle, with AF due to show 13dpo. I’m wondering how many dpo you all plan to test? I’m so new to this I also don’t know which test are the most reliable!

@Mortima my partner knows that I am basically testing something all month long 😂.
He is quiet chilled and knows that I will let him know asap when I get a positive opk or bfp.

I'm 3 or 4 DPO today, so similar to a few of you I think - third proper cycle of TTC #1. Not sure when to test this time - does anyone tell their DP when they're testing, or just do it privately?

Wow evemol, that is really amazing, well done to you both and how lovely just married. Really hope it happens soon for you now, and everyone else.

Hope bloating is a good sign corgi! I have been ravenous and knackered last few days but I’m thinking that is unlikely a symptom and more just life…

Thank you all! We are just so desperate for our miracle now!

We got married 3 weeks ago, have had our honeymoon.. so now feels like the right time. When we were TTC before, although we were still longing for a baby; I had reservations as it would mean huge changes to our wedding plans. Now that's all out of the way, I feel more ready! If that makes sense 🤣

Woken up today with period-like cramping and very achey all over, especially lower back and thighs! but then again we went to the cinema last night and I honestly got a numb bum SO many times it's ridiculous 😂 I was doing the awkward seat shuffle trying to relieve it - haha!

Woken up today (5 DPO) with really bad bloating and gas. Most likely nothing but is very out of the norm for me!

@emevol wow 6 stone!!! Brilliant! Best of luck for your BFP.

@emevol that's amazing, congratulations on the weight loss. It is not easy!

Wow that's amazing! Congrats on the willpower to achieve that :D I hope this is your lucky month!

Hey! Hope it's okay to join!

I'm 2DPO TTC our first. We had been trying for 1.5 years before but had no luck other than two chemicals.. we had fertility checks but the only thing the drs could suggest was looking weight.

DH and I decided to try to loose some meeting before TTC again. We have both lost over 6 stone each this year so far, and have decided to TTC again 🙏🏼😌 I'm just praying we get some happy news!!

I know I will be peeing on the sticks from like 8dpo as I am so impatient but would like to wait til 10dpo. We will see. So far no symptoms, were in my previous pregnancy I had twinges/stabbing sensation within the first week after ovulation.

Hi all, 1 dpo here on 2nd cycle TTC our 2nd DC. DC is 5 years old so it feels very different this time round.

Hoping to hold out until AF due before testing, as I started early last cycle and it was really disheartening.

Hello, joining as I’m 3dpo. We are month 10, I’m 36 so time is not on my side. Me and my DH have DD12 that we conceived after 10 months, really losing hope now.

So I'm getting lots of EWCM and cramps and I'm 3dpo, only confirmed via OPKs not temp. Taken an OPK today and negative so what the hell is going on 🤷🏻‍♀️

hi all, new to this. 2DPO at the moment. Have been TTC since the beginning of the year but only started using the clear blue ovulation kit in this last cycle to pinpoint the exact ovulation day. Fingers crossed for us all!

I'm 1dpo today :) We've been trying for number 2 since December 2021 with one MMC in March 2022 but nothing since. I've just turned 36 so not feeling particularly hopeful.

Good luck everyone!

I am so sorry as well to hear of all the losses. I am away next weekend so will aim to wait til Mon when I am about 12dpo but may sneak in a test on Fri before I leave at 9dpo!

I actually (I realise now) have been very fortunate to fall pregnant first cycle with both my children. I never did any OPKs or testing early, at the time I was so unaware of how commonly difficult it can be so was quite relaxed. Now the doubts are around as I am 41 and it’s less likely this time, and I feel more urgency than I did given my age now. I know some of you ttc #1 would be delighted to have two children so I hope this isn’t insensitive to say, we just really feel there’s meant to be another pal in the gang.

Can I join? I don't know what DPO I am as I haven't had a period yet following a MMC that ended in September, but have been getting steadily darkening lines on OPKs so assume I am ovulating or will be soon.
Can't believe how many people have had losses. It's devastating.
I'm 35 TTC #1 and after the MMC i guess this will be cycle 6 as I got a bfp in May, started trying in January.
Fingers crossed for everyone!

I'm 4dpo today and will try and hold out testing until Thursday when I'll be 9DPO (that's when I got a BFP with my son and two miscarriages). I'm out for drinks Thursday eve so would really like to know either way....!

I'm feeling much more relaxed this month because I'm sure it isn't happening for some reason. Every other month I've been convinced 'this is the month' 🙄😫
