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.

@MrsP20202 oh well If that’s true then perfect for me 😂😂but same here!! That was me last night 😂

MrsP20202 · 09/07/2023 15:20

@bookworm100 funny enough I just read online if you were to have sex during the tww the sperm helps the egg implant but not sure if it’s true 🤦🏻‍♀️ Tbh I am not in the least bit feeling sexual with the feeling I need to fart every minute 😂

missmae · 09/07/2023 15:19

@bookworm100 i still do it… tmi but first time doing it last night since ovulation and I wasn’t feeling it at all. I think I was slightly anxious that it would interfere with the implantation process which I don’t think it does but 😂 I was also extremely irritated beforehand and felt sorry for oh😂😂

@bookworm100 when I fancy it lol - I try really hard not to just be in the ‘ttc’ frame of mind and try to keep things fun and 😉

missmae · 09/07/2023 15:17

@Tes004 ooo my bad I thought that was today! How many dpo are you, 6? And the estrogen surge happens with every cycle but it will stay elevated if pregnant and if not will drop again! Maybe test again in 2 days as the hcg can take a few days to be detected in a test! Fingers crossed for you !🤞🏼

@FirstTim3Mummy cm - cervical mucus and ewcm - egg white cervical mucus x

Random question - do you all DTD during the TWW or abstain?

FirstTim3Mummy · 09/07/2023 15:08

Cm?
Ewcm?

@rosecbrm first of all CONGRATULATIONS on your wedding to come ! The tww is absolutely painful I’m terrible at symptom spotting every twinge ever cramp every sore nipple I’m putting it down to maybe this is it haha! My symptoms so far have been heartburn, pressure in lower belly sorry for tmi but like I need to fart but if I do fart the pressure is still there! Cramps since ovulation day, now I don’t know if my tingling nipples are in my head because I want them to tingle if that makes sense 😂 and I also had this tiny blood spit when I wiped last night and now nothing so I’m praying it’s implantation bleeding not due on for another week and I never have bleeding before I’m supposed to start! I’m extremely tired but I don’t know if that down to not sleeping well due to having a 3 year old and a 1 year old who’s teething badly at night. I’m trying not to give in the testing yet but I might just pop to the shops without hubby knowing to get a early detection test and do one tomorrow 🤫 he will kill me if he found out as he wants me to wait until next week I just can’t it’s driving me crazy!!

Omg this! The only symptom that I can feel is mildly still there is dull lower back ache which feels like I need to release gas but it doesn't and even if I do, it doesn't relieve the pressure. No other symptoms anymore!

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 14:27

@missmae I had some light spotting when wiped a couple of days ago so hoped it was that then hence why I tested early - rise in oestrogen is good isn’t it ?? Lol

missmae · 09/07/2023 14:24

@Tes004 i would think it’s more likely to be an implantation bleed than anything else. I’ve also had a little bit of ewcm today at 6dpo. I know you can have an estrogen surge around now which can also cause ewcm! I’m currently having mild aches on my right side but nothing too much. Hopefully it’s implantation for us! If it’s implantation now I would give it a couple of days before testing again. I might test Wednesday or Thursday where I will be 9/10dpo

pm24 · 09/07/2023 14:21

@Tes004 maybe it's implantation bleed? How many DPO are you?

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 14:11

I’m so confused - I had like ewcm but blood speck in it and thought strange so I did clear blue ov and a hcg test -
the ovulation came back with an empty circle but I checked the strip and half of it was super dark - darker than I had the other day - I know these measure oestrogen and lh -
preg test is negative but I took a pic cus I thought maybe something like a shadow - altho I promised myself never to consider a shadow 😂

Dpo 1, tww keep sane
JLN88 · 09/07/2023 13:28

@HelloMoon87 nothing from me. It’s been 14 days since I got a positive ovulation test and got a negative yesterday. No symptoms at all or cramp just had a migraine that lasted a day and a half. Presuming I’m out this month

Maybebaby12345 · 09/07/2023 13:21

@HelloMoon87 praying for you!!! ❤

missmae · 09/07/2023 13:18

@HelloMoon87 oh wow! what dpo did you have the milk come out with your chemicals? Fingers crossed this is a good sign for you!!🙏🏼💖

HelloMoon87 · 09/07/2023 13:12

Oh gosh, girls, my boobs have milk coming out. I had that in my second and third pregnancy (chemicals), so I'm now anxious 😰 I really hope it's a pregnancy that sustains, please pray for me

@Scarletthoping that's lovely 💛

HelloMoon87 · 09/07/2023 13:10

@Tes004 I seem to sometimes ovulate on the day of peak. If you ovulate on day of peak, the day after is dpo 1, but the instructions say you ovulate 24-48 hours after peak, so two days after the peak would be dpo 1 usually.

OP posts:
missmae · 09/07/2023 12:55

@Tes004 day 0. If you have your smiley face you will ovulate (they say) 12-48 hours afterwards. I don’t use digitals I just use cheapies as I normally ovulate cd15/16. So the day after my peak I class as 1dpo just because I always get negatives the day after! If that makes sense x

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 12:49

So … for the pro’s do you count smile face day as day 1 or day 0 dp0

Scarletthoping · 09/07/2023 12:48

@HelloMoon87 no he isn’t away. We just thought it was be less stressful to wait until the day after my period is due so we know for sure. I’m quite an anxious person so just trying to do everything to stay as calm as poss!

This is our first time trying. But I will do them all with him there because he really wants to find out when I do 🥰 He’s very excited.

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 12:48

My boobs have been like a rushing feeling on and off - but again that could be if af is on her way - I’ve had back ache lower area and change in cm but unsure if it means anything at all - would love to be able to check out the cervix thing but never have I been able to and amazed how some ppl can - maybe if I removed a rib and say 2 stone or weight I would 😂😂😂

pinkandredflowers · 09/07/2023 12:40

Hiii everyone! I caved and tested which was very silly at 6DPO obviously negative. I do feel like I can feel something very low in my pelvis but probably just imagining it 😂

Good luck everyoneeee

missmae · 09/07/2023 12:38

@MrsP20202 that does look promising for an implantation bleed! Fingers crossed for you!!

@rosecbrm congratulations, I hope you have a lovely wedding!!

I am also on cycle 1. I lost my son back in April at 19 weeks, conceived him in the first month. As you can imagine I’m very eager to get pregnant again. I don’t think I’ve obsessed so much about it as I am this month. 🫣
6dpo today and I feel a bit more normal than I have done the last few days. Yesterday I was extremely gassy and I had a few sharp stabbing pains in my pelvis area in the evening and pressure there, that lasted a few seconds which happened around the same time I conceived before. Problem for me is I get no pms, I cramp on the day of af and I’m emotional and that’s it really. So I’m hoping for some kind of symptoms 😭 last time my boobs hurt all the way from ovulation until my bfp. I keep grabbing them hoping to feel some kind of pain but nothing yet!
