1-2 DPO time to TWW 31.10.2022

Hi @Peeonastick22
I would think that 4dpo is too early to say wether or not you will conceive this cycle. Implantation at the earliest happens 6dpo but is more common 8-10dpo. There is still plenty of time for implantation to happen still. I would guess that the dragging feeling is related to ovulation. Ovulation pains can last for a few days afterwards which could be entirely normal for your body if it is happening every cycle. Having said that, the cycle I fell pregnant I did have a lot of cramping from ovulation day until getting a positive test which according to the same logic would have been too early for implantation. Sending you lots of luck this cycle, how are you feeling?

Sorry to hear about that @PPop - it's so rubbish when you feel like you've put so much effort in with tracking etc, and don't get anything back at the end of the cycle.
I get your worry as well; I feel like I either read about people who successfully conceived very quickly, or took 1 year+ and needed specialist fertility input, so it's hard not to worry when you don't fall into the first camp.
I think there are definitely plenty of women in the middle ground though. So far I've had 4 cycles with nothing, 2 cycles that were a write-off, 1 chemical pregnancy, and hoping that this one sticks. It feels like it's taken ages, but it hasn't been that long in the scheme of things.
Fingers crossed for a new year rock baby!

@PPop sorry to hear AF has arrived, I completely get your feelings, having a similar line of thinking and anxiety at the moment, especially adding in over thinking NHS wait times!

At least we can have some Christmas drinks!

@Peeonastick22 I am going to try to do everything! I'll need to order some more LH tests as well! I have been using the easy@home do people recommend these? Or are there better ones?
Do I start testing whilst still on my period though I think I run hot on my period tbh, or do I wait until this has ended? Come on 2023! Looks like I'll be ovulating around New Year's Eve! Let's hope for a after rock night conception 😂

@Peeonastick22 yes you are right!! I am being a negative Nelly which helps no one!!
It is exciting to see people who month by month are getting their BFP!

@Peeonastick22 it's a combination of hormones from AF and my anxiety issues playing on my mind with this!

I have never wanted anything more then I want a little baby! I think 4 cycles now... they all seem to roll into one!! 🤦‍♀️ I know it's not much but I think stupidly after my sisters issues I'm worrying more! (She M/C earlier last year and hasn't managed to conceive since)

@Peeonastick22 at least I won't have AF over Christmas! That's what I'm trying to think.

I keep worrying with each passing month something is wrong and I'm 35 now so less time to fix anything that might be wrong! Gawd! 🤦‍♀️ panic!

AF has officially come! What a bother! 😓

@Emmalou0607 so as soon as you wake up? Dang next month I will do that one instead of evening! Thank you! I have learnt so many acronyms on this thread which has helped with my MN browsing!

@PPop First Morning Urine ☺️

My peak normally goes up and back down in 24 hour so really quick and easy to miss if I'm not meticulous about checking. Otherwise my readings are pretty similar to yours the rest of the month

@Peeonastick22 what is FMU? I think the same I think I missed the surge somewhere, it is looking like I am out anyway, I am having AF symptoms (cramps, spot on my chin - though it's rudely in the same place every month, frequent bathroom trips and a little blood this morning when I wiped)
So I am a bit bummed again. Keep wishing I was younger right now!

@Mortima your line is great for 12dpo, mine wasn't as dark as that and I'm now almost 9 weeks! I stopped testing with frer around 20dpo 😂 then I did the weeks indicator one until it hit 3+ weeks and then stopped

Sorry for the pics but here is my month in tests! I know some are midnight or around then, I just do it when I go to bed 😂 but am I doing something wrong? Can anyone see any glitches?

Also yay @Mortima those looks really strong! How exciting!!

@Mortima your lines are looking very strong!
I tested on 9dpo then didn’t test again till 12dpo. But then I became anxious about having gotten a positive so early and continued to test every day till 16dpo, which was after my period was due. I have stopped now, mostly because I’m out of tests but I can tell my body is changing each day and I’m trying to trust in that.

Ah, I think this is more likely to be your actual peak @Peeonastick22 - good thing you kept testing. I guess hormones are always fluctuating - the app should record this as your peak once you add a lower result. Definitely keep DTD.

@Wrenegade @MillieKitty how long did you keep testing after your BFP? I held off yesterday and tested this morning at 13dpo cautiously optimistic about the progression - will probably do it again at 15dpo
