@Jadeypie my boobs are currently absolutely fine but I don't normally get sore boobs until a little bit later on.

@TK220440 I hadn't even had a coffee at that point 😂 I was sipping my water and my stomach started bubbling and hey presto! 😂 I've never experienced ovulation or implantation bleeding before no x

TK220440 · 19/07/2023 10:21

@Jadeypie My AF is also due on 28th but I was trying to hold out until 30th…
@thejollytrolleydolly I’m sympathising with the explosive diarrhoea.. but I’m putting it down to too much coffee right now 🤣

Does anybody here experiencing very light spotting for a couple of hours at ovulation?

Jadeypie · 19/07/2023 10:07

@thejollytrolleydolly 🤣🤣 oh bless you the boobs r starting for me today I just feel like AF is gona start but that's too far away

thejollytrolleydolly · 19/07/2023 09:57

Ugh we can add spots and explosive diarrhoea to the list of symptoms today 🙄

Jadeypie · 19/07/2023 09:53

@Kellyaust I agree with @thejollytrolleydolly you've gave it more than 100% I have all my fingers crossed for u 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I done every other day across my fertile window and on the days I assume av ovulated x

Jadeypie · 19/07/2023 09:48

I've read we can still conceive but little egg just doesn't stick for some reason and we would never no so maybe that happens alot and we just think omg it's not working I duno coz I was the same @TK220440 thought unprotected sex meant baby haha oh how wrong we was!

My AF is due the 28th also am planning on holding out till the 27th but I did order some tests last night so dout the willpower will hold 🤣

Kellyaust · 19/07/2023 09:29

@thejollytrolleydolly i know I think that's what's getting to me... If after all that we haven't I'll be thinking the worst 😂 can't win

Hello @TK220440 welcome to our group of amazing crazy ladies 😊

I have a 2 year old who took 3 whole years to conceive! Tried tracking ovulation for ages then finally gave up. I ended up falling pregnant on a month when my partner was working away so we only dtd once that whole month! I then fell pregnant again this year not really trying but just dtd whenever I felt like it which ended in a MMC last month. I am also on my second ovulation since the mc and have had a very faint line on a frer this morning at 8dpo.

@Kellyaust I will be very surprised if you haven't caught after all of that sexy time!! 😉

TK220440 · 19/07/2023 09:02

@Kellyaust That’s a really good shout… I’ll wait a couple of months so it doesn’t seem too obvious I’m telling porkies and then see if that could get me in a little earlier…
I’m 3-5 DPO (I think) so I’m joining you 😊 When is AF due and when do you usually test?

That's what I'd do anyway I know they have to request a scan then. I'd be due af 28th, probably test on Saturday at 8dpo coz I'm crazy 😂

@Kellyaust Oh Im so sorry to hear about your mc.. that must’ve been awful 😞
It’s crazy how easy I thought ttc would be! Never did I expect it to take long.
I’m assuming it will be my apt in March that I may be offered the scans of tubes etc but that just seems so far away.
How many DPO are you now?

Yeah it's been the worst experience of my life... Its changed me so much.
Yes you're probably right about the scans etc... You could always say you've got a lot of pain in your tubes or cervix etc n the gp would have to get you in for a scan!! Sometimes you have to tell little porkies to get what you need.

I'm 5dpo...2nd ovulation after miscarriage. Driving myself insane

TK220440 · 19/07/2023 08:55

@Jadeypie Ah I just googled it… We generally have quite an active sex life (3 times a week) and I was so careful not to put pressure on DP or ruin our sex life by ‘forcing’ it but we did have the conversation last week where he said I need to openly tell him when my fertile week is so that we can get busy (that was a relief to hear)

TK220440 · 19/07/2023 08:53

@Jadeypie Hi! Thank you 😊 It does become so obsessive doesn’t it 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was so stupid to think it would be so easy! Quick roll around with no contraception and 💥 🤣
I’ve never heard of the SMEP method.. Is that what worked for you?

TK220440 · 19/07/2023 08:49

Jadeypie · 19/07/2023 08:47

@TK220440 I understand how frustrated you feel it happened to me for years with my first but we did get our lovely boy! I done the 'don't think about it anymore' which I had to because it was getting me down. Have you thought about doing the smep method (someone correct me if that's wrong 🤣) when the sperm meets egg? Maybe give that a go

Also welcome these are lovely ladies to obsess with 🙈 xx

Kellyaust · 19/07/2023 08:45

TK220440 · 19/07/2023 08:39

@Kellyaust Thank you 🙂
I recently went to the GP, 34 years old with no health conditions, regular 26-29 day cycles and DP already has DD from previous relationship. The GP referred me for CD21 bloods which all came back fine (47.7 progesterone level) so indicating I’m ovulating.
So I’m becoming so down and upset why it isn’t happening! The earliest fertility apt I can get is 8th March!
How long have you all been trying for?

Have you been offered any scans or anything to check your ovaries and tubes etc?

We have a 2 year old together and we fell pregnant again in late Feb but unfortunately had a miscarriage in may. So ttc since then 🤞

Hi Ladies!
Can I please join you? 👋
We’ve been ttc #1 for 13 months and I’ve started to get so down. This tww is so so stressful but I absolutely love seeing everybody get their bfp’s on here!
I’m on CD18, but only got chance to dtd on CD7/8 and CD15/16. (On CD15 I had pink/brown CM straight after dtd that lasted a couple of hours (trying to convince myself this could be either ovulation spotting or implantation) but I do think I’m out this month. I did a random OPK on CD12 which was positive but didn’t DTD around that day.
How are you all getting on?
xx

Welcome to join @TK220440 .... Aw have you had any tests or anything done if you've been ttc so long?

OP posts:
Kellyaust · 19/07/2023 08:32

Also this is my 2nd ovulation after my mmc and with everyone saying and me reading that I'm more fertile in the first 3 months I just know if we haven't managed it this month I'm going to be super stressed about it 😩 we've literally dtd so much we were both exhausted. I just know how my brain works and if I'm not preg this month I'm going to start freaking out. This is my chart... We couldn't have dtd more

1DPO... Any tww buddies?
OP posts:
Kellyaust · 19/07/2023 08:27

I fell back to sleep and had another really messed up dream 🤦‍♀️ my OH was the one that was pregnant and we had already had a miscarriage but he still had a massive bump 🤦‍♀️

I'm 5dpo now @Twocatstwodogs I've seen loads of posts saying that there's no way anyone would get symptoms before 12dpo and it's stupid to think otherwise and not to test early blah blah blah... Well wouldn't it be a perfect world if we all chilled n waited etc... We aren't all like that some of us prefer to symptom spot and early test and as long as that works for us then stuff what anyone else thinks.

@thejollytrolleydolly I think I can see something 🥰 fully invested seeing the line progression!

@Twocatstwodogs you do you! Some people just think it's their way or no way! We all know it's obsessive ttc even the ones who make out it's not!

I'm 7dpo I think or I could be Abit more or a bit maybe a day out either side 🙈 I don't do ovulation sticks it would stress me out!

I had a crazyyy dream I was in labour last night so vivid!

No need symptoms for me just the usual twinges and bad wind probably that's what the twinges are aswell 🤣🤣🙈

thejollytrolleydolly · 19/07/2023 07:49

@Twocatstwodogs you can do whatever you want! I am a daily tester and it keeps me sane! It would be more stressful knowing I could test but aren't. I hate the unknown! I would rather than a bfn than not know at all xx

I'll keep you guys update with my testing xx

LittleMiss2023 · 19/07/2023 07:48

Twocatstwodogs · 19/07/2023 07:25

I'm 2dpo today! Where are others at again, can't keep up @Kellyaust and everyone

I’m 2DPO. Knowing me I’ll probably start testing from next Thursday, so 10DPO.

thejollytrolleydolly · 19/07/2023 07:48

Sorry evening of the 11th
