Hi all

I’ve commented on a few threads but thought I would start a new one for anyone who may have ovulated over the weekend and now starting the TWW? Officially 1DPO today.

This is our first cycle trying to conceive #1. I came off the pill a few weeks ago, had my normal withdrawl bleed. Had flashing smileys last week with the static appearing on Saturday. I will assume I ovulated yesterday as I had a fair few cramps.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Hey hope you don't mind me joining. I'm 4dpo. Had ovulation pain from peak day and still feeling it now. Not painful just a dull ache on my left side. More irritating. X

I'm 4dpo and have felt some cramping today. Not sure if it's just normal cramping I'd get as I have never tracked anything like that before. My heads been sore too but I suffer from migraines so could just be a coincidence but my migraines are under control with 3 monthly injections so I don't tend to get them.

I hate this waiting lol.

@LittleMiss2023 4dpo today! Yeah it’s weird how there’s like no symptoms, I was telling my OH that it’s like a symptom in itself, but at the same time I feel like nothing is happening 😂 I know it’s early but because I’m used to every pms sign ever

How is today for you? My cramps were bad while I was sleeping and before I felt it in the centre but when it got sharper I felt it more towards the left. I read somewhere that it’s the tubes contracting to move the egg down, never experienced it before though! they’ve settled down today though as well as the full feeling. I also felt a pulling sensation around the sides of my breasts/under my armpit, really weird. Other than that I woke up with a sore throat but I think that’s unrelated due to heartburn/acid reflux, it was pretty bad last night

@Jb2189 welcome! How’s it been going for you? ☺️ We seem to be all in same boat

I'm 3dpo too, first time TTC. This waiting is horrible 🙈

YAY - welcome!! Looks like we’ll all be testing around the same time!

@Peachyplumm I feel alright - no symptoms at all. I’ve had sore/sensitive nipples the last week but they seem to be disappearing, maybe that was an ovulation symptom. Other than that - nothing! Weird that I kind of want some kind of symptom to see if anything is happening? I say that now, then would be wishing it away!

Good you also feel alright - for now. The wait continues.

@LittleMiss2023 hey ☺️ 3dpo today. I’ve barely had any symptoms like not even my usual ones before af. I usually get very sore swollen boobs whole 2 weeks, but nothing so far. My only symptoms are I’ve had a crampy full heavy feeling in my uterus ever since 1dpo. Been using a hot water bottle (but not too hot) to soothe it, it feels like period cramps. So weird. Other than that I noticed I’m very wet? But not like in a sticky way, more just very watery. Really weird.

what about you? X

How are you feeling @Peachyplumm? Probably still a bit too early to feel any symptoms!

@LittleMiss2023 hi ovulation buddy! I’m also 1dpo today and it’s our first cycle actually ttc with #1. Also testing 11th of Feb but I might do some early tests a few days before cos I dunno if I can hold out?

I’m quite crampy today, actually needing a hot water bottle. But I know my ovulation is done bc my CM is thicker. I normally get sore boobs the whole 14 days before AF but nothing so far. Looking forward to hearing from others in the same tww!

Yay! I’m in the same boat - will try and hold out testing until the 11/12th, but I’m sure I’ll want to test earlier!

Going to have to try and keep myself busy these next two weeks! 😬
