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.

@missmae I had ov pains 2 days after my peak so I wondered what was going on there ! Wishing the next 2 weeks away lol ! But welcome to the madhouse 😜

missmae · 06/07/2023 20:48

Hey ladies, I’d like to join to try and keep sane... who am I kidding? Currently 3dpo and I’m hating this 2ww already. Will be baby no.1 but I have had pregnancies before.
Had ov pains on Monday from the right side all day. Today dull achey feeling in lower abdomen most the day, but I know it’s too soon for anything 😭 it’s driving me mad. Also v tired today!

I've been feeling nauseous too. It's gross. As this is my first month off contraception i have literally no idea what my normal cycle feels like, so I suppose it's interesting to track and see what goes on for me in case it's a pattern. I'm absolutely not doing a test unless my period seems properly late so 10 more days minimum!) but I keep just noticing how slow the days pass 😳

Show quote history

DH said he is also feeling nauseous, so that put the theory to end 🙈
I also won't test until AF due. Are you testing next Sunday by any chance? Let's keep strong and keep each other motivated to not test 😂

I had some spotting today - very tiny light brown cm then nothing - so 5-6dpo would be early for ib but possible - having said that I remember having this on a bfn cycle so maybe something maybe nothing as all the symptoms I will tick off over the next 10 days !!! Arhhhhhhh !!!
love reading about you all tho - makes me keep a little more normal or stops me going to dr Google again 😂😂😂😂

Dpo 3 only! Nauseous and headachy this afternoon, which is unusual but also definitely can happen.
I'm quite calm so far, but reckon around dpo 8/9 will start symptom spotting. Bring on the weekend and busy times! Somehow work days seem to go slower...

Hi everyone! I’m 35 and trying for #2 and I have a nearly two year old boy. First cycle trying for a sibling. I’m on 9 or 10 dpo. Had a bit of mild cramp or tingling ( although don’t think that properly describes it) yest and a bit today. Think I might test tomorrow or Saturday

5dpo and not feeling anything yet but right there with you ladies 🥲🤞🏻

it’s the toughest wait ever …

Maybebaby12345 · 06/07/2023 13:07

@cth96 ttc will turn the most patient of people into calendar watching nuts!!!! I'm very level headed apart from when I'm ttc 🤣

HelloMoon87 · 05/07/2023 17:21

Welcome @cth96 @Maybebaby12345 how long have you been TTC? Is it for #1?

Thank you! Officially three months for baby number 1.

So much of TTC is waiting and I am not a particularly patient person 😂

pm24 · 06/07/2023 00:33

@Tes004 yep, guilty of Googling 3dpo symptoms, have been feeling down today and have slept most of the day. Nipples are sore when touched only and on and off dull cramps in lower abdomen. It's weird how in the TWW everything is noticeable! I also googled if a stye was a symptom lol as i just randomly got one this evening!

HelloMoon87 · 05/07/2023 21:47

@Tes004 yeah my Google search was dpo 2 symptoms and guess what I already saw them in previous cycles so nothing new 🙈
I have some cramps and really hungry. I had some pineapple and pomegranate juice which hope helps with implantation if there was even a conception.

Tes004 · 05/07/2023 21:19

How’s everyone getting on ?? I told myself this cycle I wasn’t going to Google lots and keep busy but it consumes doesn’t it 😂
my breasts are on the heavy side today - which I know is all part of normal as well as early pregnancy but I don’t think I normally have it this early in cycle- but more than likely just over analyse it.

longingtobe23 · 05/07/2023 19:35

@HelloMoon87 yesss I paid privately after that, so I was guessing that at least one of my tubes were absolutely fine anyway, but it was nice to hear for certain they both flushed!

I also hear positive stories, so the next three months I’m trying as hard as I can.
sadly for me, I know after that we will be coming up 2 years and I’ll be on track for further interventions ☺️

so praying this summer it’s all of our turn! X

Maybebaby12345 · 05/07/2023 17:31

This is baby no5 for us. This is month 2 of ttc. I'm preparing for it to take longer as I've had complications with my periods since an emergency c section 2 years ago

@longingtobe23 sorry to hear about the chemical. On hycosy, I've heard that it can increase chances of pregnancy because it "cleans" the tubes?! Fingers crossed. 10 dpo is when I start to get anxious to test but having had 2 chemicals, I kind of feel a bit scared of testing too early, it just makes the whole week go too slowly.
I've done investigations on the hormones, thyroid and the usual scan and semen analysis. All came back normal, so hoping it was just that I got unlucky.
Feeling positive though!

Is it ok if I join?? I'm 4dpo and the worst for early testing. I reckon I'll hold out until 8dpo even tho I've never had a bfp at 8dpo before!!

cth96 · 05/07/2023 12:03

Hi everyone. Can I join? I'm 1 dpo today (according to my apps, but I have PCOS so not totally sure).

longingtobe23 · 05/07/2023 09:31

@HelloMoon87 so sorry to hear I’m sure I had a chemical last month, very light positives 2 days late for period and then negatives… also had a very heavy cycle after that

i had some investigations after; HyCoSy and follicle tracking so I really hope the big egg I saw on my left ovary is the one that gets us our BFP

even thinking about it makes me excited and want to test on 10DPO 🙃 but I’m going to try and stay strong as well

pm24 · 04/07/2023 23:11

Hi ladies; can I hop on?! I think im currently 2dpo. Had my peak on 15th June so think I ovulated on 16th... still trying TTC #1 after a MC back in 2020. PCOS sufferer and first cycle of clomid.

Really hoping it's my month x

@pinkandredflowers we are trying since January but had an early miscarriage (or a chemical) in Feb and then another one in May. So we did bunch of tests in May and looks like we got unlucky rather than some underlying condition (though I didn't do all the tests, but I believe we covered most of it).

True, I also feel like newborn anxiety was a lot for us, I think we only got better when he turned 6 months, though fully better only when he was 18 months. Toddlers have a whole set of different challenges... But we enjoy it more, like you!

@HelloMoon87 I LOVE the terrible twos. Give me a toddler over a newborn anyyyyday! I'm a bit scared of newborns (even my own when she was tiny!), I just never knew why she was crying and it used to make me so anxious. Love my very opinionated toddler who clearly expresses what the problem is even if it's completely unreasonable haha.

I really thought we would be one and done because I struggled with pregnancy and newborn soo much but now I love it so much I think it's worth doing again 😂

I was on a bunch of different sickness drugs but still couldn't really function until about 16 weeks! Mad. So good to hear your friend was better the second time, that would be fab!!

Have you all been trying for long? X

Tes004 · 04/07/2023 22:30

I went from a ‘o’ then forgot to test on a day then straight into fixed smiley std -1 ov day and day 2 so i don’t know - I wasn’t expecting to ovulate so soon as I’ve been having longer cycles.
I had so many symptoms last month but I didn’t track ovulation - was so excited to see a clear bfp only for it turn bfn so maybe chemical - but definitely ovulated - checked with clear blue - temps and cm - all pinpointed ov so just hope I don’t lose my mind before 2 weeks lol

@longingtobe23 welcome, 12 dpo sounds good! I think that'll be also my goal though really hoping to stay longer without the madness. I had 2 chemicals in Feb and may, both from dpo 11
