TWW 1dpo today - who's with me?

Love This!

I really hope this is your month ❤️

@Stephla84 I’ll test Saturday if I can wait that long but if I’m pregnant this month it’ll be a miracle as we only DTD until 2 days before ovulation and the night of ovulation as hubby was working away so kinda thinking we missed it but who knows. I’m 38 now so I’m aware it’ll take longer than my other pregnancies !

@MrsSB2023 right! That makes a lot more sense 😂😂 awwww good luck! When is testing for you?

@Stephla84 oh sorry should’ve said we cancelled it after I decided we weren’t done 😂 although you can get vasectomy reversal

@MrsSB2023 Haha! Really?? Is that possible then?!

@Stephla84 Aw sorry to hear that. I’m on cycle 1 too after sending hubby for the snip last month then deciding I wanted another haha!

@Sophie3839 i bought tests they arrived yesterday. I’m so tempted but I don’t want the obsessing with seeing a line that isn’t there or the disappointment of seeing no line at all. I’m really trying to hold out until Saturday which will still be early as I’m not due AF until 1st Feb. I had the coil out in September and my cycles have been anywhere from 25 days to 35 days but going off ovulation I’d say 31 days this month x

@MrsSB2023 Hello 👋🏻 this is my first cycle after a miscarriage last year! So 1 pregnancy 0 babies…… Think I’m just at a wishful thinking stage!

Same but I haven’t had one for a year or so now so that’s just typical haha! We only dtd once so it’s just unlucky I guess :-/

I know what you mean about symptom tracking I usually never bother so it’s good to have a record to look back on. So far I have had sore throat, sore boobs, needing to wee all the time and sore back but all are attributable to uti and being run down😩🤷🏼‍♀️

so you are 7dpo, think I’m 6dpo. AF due 3rd feb and I too have a night out booked before so will have to test early too! Although I do have a confession that I caved and bought tests this morning. I’m not going to do them yet of course as super early but I really shouldn’t have any in the house haha

I am prone to UTIs and am feeling a bit cystitisy today, think it’s all the sex 🙈🤣

Ah nice yes a holiday will be a good distraction!
I always test early haha but only ever had a positive from 10dpo. Although I think my symptoms may in fact to be a mild uti :(
Gutted as I’d started to convince myself with my manic symptom spotting haha

Hello :) nice to be here!
yes I have a son already who’s two. This is only cycle number one and we only BD once so It’s very unlikely.

@Stephla84 @Sophie3839 welcome to our little group. What cycle are you both on? Do you have any children already?

Morning everyone how are people feeling today?

My cramping has stopped, CM has dried right up, boobs feel back to normal. I’m feeling pretty normal now. I’ve read that progesterone rise and fall makes you cramp throughout the cycle, particularly after ovulation as it slows down digestion, so maybe what I’ve been feeling is more to do with bowels rather than uterus definitely felt like AF cramps though 😂 I don’t know. I’m glad I’ve tracked all symptoms this month though so I’ve got something to compare to. It’s actually been really interesting noticing what my body is doing as I usually pay zero attention.
I’m (think) I’m 7DPO today, I have a night out for a friends birthday on Saturday so I think I’ll test then, I’ll only be 10 DPO but I need to test so I know whether I can have a drink or not 🙈

@Sophie3839 my OH is super rational aswell it’s very annoying !! 😂 going on holiday next week so hopefully won’t really think about it, thought technically I’m due AF while we are away! Will you test early?

Sorry for your loss stephla84 i totally get the trying to be cool thing. I was like nope I’m not symptom spotting I’ll wait for AF….
so glad this group is here, my husband is much more rational than I am and has far more patience 🙈

5dpo here and so many symptoms which I know can’t be symptoms but are happening anyway haha!
sore boobs, need to see loads, bit of heartburn / acid reflux.
not high chance of pg tbh as only dtd once and wasn’t using opks etc this time.
what dpo is everyone planning to test on?
mum going to try and hold out until 10dpo 😅

Thought I would say hi and now following the thread. I’m 4DPO and, after having a miscarriage at 10 weeks in October we are back into cycle 1 after taking a couple of months off. I wanted to be so cool and not symptom check at all but here I am….. symptom checking like mad 😂I’ve spent most of this evening with cramps. I have 5 large fibroids on the outside of my uterus so periods and ovulation etc are normally noticeable and quite painful. So I’m seeing this has a good sign…. Rightly or wrongly! Looking forward to seeing how you girls get on. Lots of luck!!

@Carysmatic im going to wait a few more days unless I get crazy symptoms, today at 6dpo/7dpo cramps in left side, taste in mouth and mood swings lol

I am so so bloated today!! Hubbys 40th so we went out for some lunch so trying to put it down to that and not it being a “sign” although the “bump “ the bloat is giving me is making me emosh!

Ahhhh good luck everybody , and @MrsSB2023 doesnt sound like you’re too far off testing eeeek!

Absolutely no signs or symptoms my end, but given I’m only (around) 2DPO I won’t worry about that yet ! I was incredibly lucky and had virtually no symptoms whatsoever when I had my little boy except for just ‘knowing’ I was pregnant (which sounds very mystic Meg!) , and I had exactly the same again for my chemical last month.

@Carysmatic increased temp definitely sounds positive ! One thing I noticed retrospectively last month was a steady increase in my resting heart rate from my Apple Watch (to the extent I got an alert about it!) so that looks like a sign to me too albeit not one I would notice myself physically , without the aid of my watch! And then it dropped right down again when I miscarried. So I think I’ll get a decent steer from that too, in a similar way as one would do with BBT

@Carysmatic so we DTD CD 14, 15 (midnight) I got solid smiley CD 16, hubby was away CD 16&17 DTD again CD 18&19
I definitely feel like I ovulated on CD 18 but that would be too late according to CB digital but definitely had the most EWCM and felt like I ovulated that day. We didn’t DTD until late on CD 18 though so think we may have missed it.
I’m either 6, 7 or 8 DPO today 🙃
I had strong cramps again last night but feel absolutely fine today. I don’t know whether it’s normal for me or not to cramp after ovulation however I don’t remember that happening last month.
Raised temp sounds promising! Definitely going to temp next month.
Does anyone check their cervix?
