Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

@Tes004 how many DPO now? Can you show us a pic of the test?

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 20:06

@missmae sane here but my stabbing pain is left side! I can never go on my boobs as them seem to get fuller or feel fuller before a period but I am having little shooting pains In my nipples but I don’t know if that’s from my 3 year old (she for some reason has taken to squeezing my boobs when she hugs me but very tightly 🤦🏻‍♀️ ) oh see with me I had HV with my daughter was in hospital on a drip throughout my pregnancy couldn’t even keep water down but with my son oh it was a breeze! Didn’t once get sick

Tes004 · 10/07/2023 20:03

I’m so annoyed with myself ! I’ve had heavy ache boobs today and tummy ache - so I thought I’d do another cb and basically worse than I had yesterday - still see a faint line but not convinced - feel really really down about it now - I know it’s still early days but I just had high hopes …

pinkandredflowers · 10/07/2023 19:58

@missmae @bookworm100 @HelloMoon87 also 7DPO and also very bloated low down! I don't think I've eaten anything bloat worthy so hoping this is good news. I feel like I've also felt very tiny cramps but I could definitely be imagining it!

Will definitely test when I get home from work in a bit even tho I know that's very silly and it will be negative.

missmae · 10/07/2023 19:42

@MrsP20202 those symptoms also sound very promising!! I have my little weird stabbing pain back in my uterus right now to the right side and my boobs are deffo a bit fuller I have a crease under them for the first time in ages. (Completely shrunk after my last pregnancy) and all the weight loss 😩 I have severe morning sickness to look forward to!

missmae · 10/07/2023 19:38

@MrsP20202 i know yeah there’s me saying that knowing damn well I’d be worrying myself 🤣. Yeah use your opks if they satisfy your needs to pee on a stick!😂 i have loads of cheapies that come with my opks so I just use them lol. I’ve just woken from a nap and quite a horrible dream lol 😂I hope I sleep tonight

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 19:35

@cosymama2020 ment to tag you 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 yes they can! Read above sorry my minds not working today😂

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 19:32

@BlossomTree123 id deffo try a pregnancy test hun!! So if you get positives on opk it means it’s detecting pregnancy as it can’t decide if it’s lh or hcg it’s picking up! Oohhh so excited for you!!! If you don’t want to test yet with a hcg deffo keep doing opks if it still is positive I think your pregnancy test will be too!! 😍

update: symptoms are back! Really bad back ache, dizzy, thirsty now, cramps (feels like I’m about to start my period) sorry for tmi loads of egg white discharge but yellow ! (Had this with my first daughter like it’s the start of a mucus plug if that makes sense) I hope I’m not reading into it too much 😂 I’m turning into a crazy lady 😂

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 19:16

@cosymama2020 from what I’ve read a lot of people have detected early pregnancy through OPK as they had a late LH Surge, but others ovulate more than once or late in the pregnancy.

I’ve had a peak reading 2/3 times already so the fact I’m now getting a high reading is weird!! So im hoping, but may not be the case. And too early for me to take a PT

cosymama2020 · 10/07/2023 19:07

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 18:20

@MrsP20202 ahh that’s so interesting!! I can also see a start of a line!!!

As I’ve had another smiley flashy face this evening. And 2 strong lines. I don’t think I’m ovulating again as haven’t had the same ovulation pains as normal. So maybe it’s detecting early pregnancy. We can hope….

I’ve felt a little sicky today which is weird. But not convinced it’s not in my head. I’ll be 10dpo Thursday/Friday so need to try and stick it out, but just doing the OPK to see if they get a peak again…

im
hoping we all get our positive this month!!

Can ovulation tests detect early pregnancy? I’m learning lots of new things during this TWW 😂

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 17:58

@missmae i no it’s just hard not to worry ain’t it 🤦🏻‍♀️ Tww is just absolutely awful wish someone made some technology to track once conceived instead of this waiting game 😂 I’m going to lay off testing now I think (if I can 😂) I might just use my opks instead of a test to see if they get darker just to waste some tests for this week, why do they make pregnancy tests so dam expensive!

missmae · 10/07/2023 17:52

@MrsP20202 try not to worry too much, symptoms can come and go!! symptoms disappearing definitely doesn’t mean you’re out! X

missmae · 10/07/2023 17:50

@bookworm100 it does. The 2ww tests everyone’s mentality I’m sure 😂. Yes I’m sure a high libido is a good sign tho! Honestly right now I’m fighting the urge to not nap otherwise I’ll be up all night 😫.

yes for sure, hopefully we have some lines to compare !🤞🏼

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 17:49

@missmae same but I think the test is faulty tbh! So not taking any notice of it 😂

@bookworm100 not in the slightest bit 😂 my husband tried today I told him to jog on 😂

im abit worried that all my symptoms have disappeared today so I’m thinking this isn’t the month for me 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope I’m wrong tho

bookworm100 · 10/07/2023 17:48

@missmae haha you definitely are not the only one! The TWW drives even the best of us a bit mad I think!

That's interesting that you've got a low libido, I guess everyone is different is anyway so it's hard to compare! Wish I had some previous experience to compare to though, I'm TTC #1 so have no idea what to expect with any of it!

Looking forward to being testing buddies Smile

missmae · 10/07/2023 17:41

@bookworm100 lmao okay at least I’m not the only one. On that note I will most likely test tomorrow as well 🤣
I am the same, I’ve actually done a lot of resting this week and I have been anxious when having sex. But it’s the opposite for me I have 0 sex drive 🤔. Which happened with my last pregnancy too. So hard not to symptom spot 😭

bookworm100 · 10/07/2023 17:30

@missmae haha I've tested twice today so don't be embarrassed! Confused I'd love to say I'll wait until Thursday (10DPO) but I know for certain that I'll test tomorrow as I have no self control when it comes to POAS Grin

My new thing is getting anxious over anything and everything that I feel like could have affected implantation...like moving in a way that accidentally engages my abs etc...but tbh I can't be that worried because I've also had sex twice today which I hear might not be the best idea! Anyone else feel like their libido is high atm? It's probably just the anxiety! Confused

missmae · 10/07/2023 17:21

@MrsP20202 oh I can see something, how many dpo are you?

missmae · 10/07/2023 17:19

@BlossomTree123 see I can’t even blame mine on food as I woke up like it, it’s been so uncomfortable today!
@bookworm100 i actually tested today just for jokes...💀 ideally I wanted to wait until 10dpo so in 3 days time! But I may do it again… before then… for jokes… 😂🫣 what about you? X

MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 16:56

This was my test this morning, I found the control line to go all weird and there is a second line that came straight away but with very little colour so I’m thinking the test is shit 😂

Dpo 1, tww keep sane
MrsP20202 · 10/07/2023 16:49

afternoon ladies, just catching up as iv had the mother in law round today

@BlossomTree123 that’s how I found out I was pregnant with my son opks kept getting darker and it confused me! The opk eventually stole the colour from the control line so I tested with a pregnancy test days later after being so confused and it was positive

@Tes004 omg hun that looks like a positive but if it was after the time frame I wouldn’t 100% clear blue as they have bad evaps with blue lines (this is from experience) fingers crossed tho it’s your BFP!!!

i also tested this morning and as expected a BFN, I have no symptoms what so ever now! Just a bit of bloating but cramps and everything gone 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ That at better not show her face !

bookworm100 · 10/07/2023 16:33

@missmae - looks like we are on the same schedule! When are you going to test?

@BlossomTree123 haha yes I'm wondering if it's hormones or all the pizza/chocolate/Chinese I've eaten recently...so much for being healthy in the TWW! I think I'm comfort eating to deal with all the emotions Grin

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 16:14

I feel like my stomach looks more bloated too or heavier. Convincing myself ahah but maybe I just ate too much ahah

missmae · 10/07/2023 15:39

@bookworm100 only 7dpo as well! I had like short sharp stabbing pains 5dpo in my uterus and achey pains on my right side since. I’m hoping it’s good signs!🥺x
