Anyone else 1dpo? Keep me company!

Hello! I'm 36 and TTC no. 2. This is cycle 6 but I only weaned from breastfeeding a couple of weeks ago so feeling cautiously optimistic as I think it was wreaking havoc with my hormones. Know it may well take a few months for hormones to regulate but remain hopeful!

Premom has me down as 1dpo. Anyone want to keep me company during what I suspect will be a painfully slow two weeks?! DTD 6 times in the last 8 days so i don't think I could've given it anymore if I'd tried - especially with a 2yo to look after! 😴

Well that's pretty conclusive! I'm just really confused by the temp spike on the first day of my missed period but I guess I could've just been warm. It's odd though!

@secondtimelucky87 So annoying! I swear my body gives me different symptoms every month just to mess with me 🙄 My apps are saying AF is due on Monday now, so I guess we'll see.
I second the boots early tests btw! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

They have no pink dye tests so think I'll save my money!

@secondtimelucky87 if you could get a long hold on it it might be ok! I wouldn't be able to hold that long 😂 wonder can you wee now and test it later? Or you could wait a few days if you have patience, but if I was you I'd be standing outside boots before it opened 😂 we all know have little willpower I have tho! 😂

Haha post pregnancy I definitely can't hold wee in that long! Tesco express is open and sells pregnancy tests. I'll see what kind they have. I think I should really wait a few days but I guess no harm trying. My temps are high enough I'll hold onto a bit of hope it could just be too early if still negative 🤞

@secondtimelucky87 I meant to tag @etaketak1991 🙈😂

@secondtimelucky87 get a boots early response and test for sure they're great!

@Daniki Boots doesn't open until 9. Do you think second morning urine would be OK if I can hold it in that long? Also don't know if the most sensible thing to do is to just wait a few days as technically 12dpo is still early even if late for me?!

Sorry to hear that @etaketak1991 It's so hard every month. 🥺 Hugs x

@secondtimelucky87 Eek! That's good news! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I'm a bit confused this morning. I had a nice temp drop (😢) but I did a test anyway. Looks negative to me, but when I scan it into premom it gives a reading of 0.03?? Could easily be an evap, annoyed I didn't test twice now 😂 Can anyone see anything?

I don't think I can see anything sorry lovely but will keep my fingers crossed!

OP posts:
Daniki · 28/10/2023 07:17

@etaketak1991 I might try that and see what happens 😂 your urine may not be strong enough now, see what tomorrow brings 🙌 🙏

etaketak1991 · 28/10/2023 07:14

Never mind, they're all coming up as 0.00 now 🙃 I'm counting myself out now, best of luck to you both ❤️

etaketak1991 · 28/10/2023 06:54

@Daniki I use the OPK scanner 😂 probably not the most reliable method. All of.my previous BFNs have come up as 0.00, so it's picking up something 🤷 If AF isn't here on Monday, I'll test again. I hate this false hope!

Hey ladies! tested anyway this morn and of course negative 😂 trying to round up my positivity for next cycle 😝

@secondtimelucky87 I can't see anything on that test, can I just say tho I hate them tests! They're different to what they use to be, I use them aswell (have done since first pregnancy in 2020) and I at times was thinking I was seeing something but I wasn't. Defo recommend the boots early response if you can get your hands on one? I didn't realise Premom could scan pregnancy tests and give you a reading like that?!

Period officially 1 day late, still testing negative and a big temp spike at 12dpo. I'm officially confused! Do I try a pink line test or just wait a few days?!

@Daniki I hope the higher dose of letrozole helps lovely.

@etaketak1991 any news your end??

@secondtimelucky87 It's good news anyway if your luteal phase is extending ❤️ Still keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Daniki Oh no! Well it's good that they're upping the letrozole, but not great that it should have been higher in the first place! Really hoping that helps things for you 🤞

Daniki · 27/10/2023 12:54

So doctor is increasing the letrzole for next cycle she said it should of been higher 🫠 onwards we go!!

Daniki · 27/10/2023 11:56

@secondtimelucky87 all good signs! Test again in morn and hopefully a good outcome 🙌 even if it's just your luteal phase lengthening that's positive in itself!
Got my results back, my levels are 33.9, which I take to mean iv ovulated. But I'm not sure if it's high enough after been on letrozole so waiting on the doctor to get back to me! Xx

Ahh thanks ladies. I've had absolutely no PMS symptoms other than the temp drop and I usually start AF first thing. Also don't know if it makes a difference but I woke up desperately needing a wee at 1:30am (which I never do) so technically I didn't test with FMU?

Just a waiting game now but my gut is telling me it's probably more likely it's my luteal phase extending..

Daniki · 27/10/2023 07:30

Hey ladies, BFN for me too this morn! Iv told myself in out, wondering should I just wait for period to arrive (but knowing me I won't 😂) didn't get my progesterone results back so hopefully today so my specialist can decide whether to increase my Letrozole or not!

I'm also congested @etaketak1991 it's rank I'm so stuffy 😖

Hopefully your AF doesn't arrive @secondtimelucky87 it's still early!

Something I always do to give me hope is go back and check the dates of my first pregnancy in 2020 😂 I'm not sure when I ovulated that cycle but it was at least between 12/14dpo I got an extremely faint line! I'm always like it happened then it can happen again 😂

etaketak1991 · 27/10/2023 06:28

@secondtimelucky87 11 dpo is still early! Plenty of people don't get a positive until they miss a period. Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

I got a spike today, but a) I'm at my nice warm PILs house and b) I think I've caught another blooming cold, I'm all congested 😩🙄 I'll test tomorrow but not ruling out my body being an arse and playing tricks.

Anyone else 1dpo? Keep me company!

Negative when I tested on the CBFM just now and my temp has dipped to 36.71 from 36.78 so I guess AF is probably on its way. Think it's quite rare to get false negatives at 11dpo. 😞

How are you both doing?

OP posts:
etaketak1991 · 26/10/2023 15:57

@secondtimelucky87 oh bless you 🙈 Fingers crossed for you tomorrow, exciting! Hoping your luteal phase starts getting longer for you too 🤞

My PMS hasn't been quite so bad with the cramps today, just lots of boob pains which is delightful 🙄 If AF is coming, I hope it hurries up to put me out of my misery haha.

Daniki · 26/10/2023 14:35

@secondtimelucky87 I read somewhere before it should be around 12 days minimum I think? Took me a few cycles to regulate after I stopped BF but Mine have always been short aswell!

I'm a doofus so tested just now with incredibly dilute wee and of course it was stark neg on my cheapie test. 🤦‍♀️🤣🙈 The pee was basically water though in fairness so not reading anything into it. I'll try again tomorrow. If it doesn't happen this month I'm still optimistic my luteal phase might extend with the weaning.🤞I listened to a podcast yesterday where an IBCLC who specialises in fertility said sadly 11 days is generally really not long enough. So I'll take it as a good sign if I go over that this month. I'm not feeling PMS-y yet so we'll see...
