2DPO.. whos counting down the dreaded 2WW with me

I’m only 4DPO too and I know with my other 3 pregnancies I got no symptoms until well into the second week of the TWW!

@Fairy0708 possibly, have been a bit all over the place with cycles and just seen you wouldn't get bleeding until 6 or so days after ovulation so it's probably something else. I'll Katie trying though in case it's ovulation sign like you - I've never had this before though and way too early for period

I'll join!

No idea what dpo I am but guessing 1-3days. Didn't confirm with opks but going by ewcm and my usual bloating!

This is my third cycle ttc no.3!

Hey! Is there any chance you are ovulating later than normal? I had light pink spotting for a few days just before the time of ovulation. It literally only happened that one time though.

Hi all, I haven't been on in a while as been getting so stressed with TTC but am 1DPO I think (we are away on holiday so haven't been using ovulation sticks etc and going by app) I've had some very light pink spotting when I wiped this morning so praying it's implantation bleeding and this might be my month.

Anyone with any tips to make it stick I'd be so grateful for, of course it might be something else but we've been DTD while away and timing seems right so fingers massively crossed. Also have some light cramping now but only noticing it because I'm thinking about it. Is this too soon for implantation bleeding? Can't think what else it could be but also so scared to get hopes up again after a loss late last year

@Xxfifixx89 how many DPO are you?
I’m trying not to symptom spot with it being so early I’m thinking next week I will be on hyper alert!

4DPO anyone else wake up and say oh that’s another day done 🤣🤣 every morning I think oh I’m now this many days past ovulation like some sort of mad women 🤣🤣

oh and forgot to add nothing fits for two weeks after ovulation cos of period bloating!

I always get really bad cramps and bloating around 6-9dpo and lots of white watery cm. From what I understand this is the post ovulation rise in progesterone which happens in anticipation of a fertilised egg and the womb linding building up for implantation. This is why pregnancy symptoms and pmt symptoms are similar as this process happens regardless if the egg is fertilised. This is just my searching endlessly to find out why I get this! Mother nature's way of messing with us!

Any symtoms yet anyone? My countdown begins - currently 5/6 DPO - just stocked up on tests. Trying not to break into them until at least Friday 8/9DPO 😂

@Xxfifixx89 im trying to wait until 14DPO I doubt I’ll make it but im trying 🤣🤣

I have the same, how many DPO I’m about 3 so I’m thinking nothing changed no implantation or anything so not thinking about it!

Totally agree. I used them 4/5 days and hasn't led to a pregnancy so I made a pact not to use them! I prefer not knowing exactly how many dpo I am and just using an estimate lol. I didn't use them for my first either

@Fairy0708 i used OPKs with my second and it stressed me out so much!
so with this one we are just trying every other day if possible or even every 3 days if we are tired!
I can’t do with the stress of OPKs they really stress me out and I don’t think that helps!

@TicklishDreamer thank you for sharing and sorry about the MC ❤️

I find it comforting when I hear that it's possible to conceive in over 6 months but in less than 12!

I agree, I'm not sure where the close age gap pressure comes from. I have seen small age gaps and it's worked out lovely but equally larger ones too. My SIL has kids aged 10,8 and 2 and the older 2 adore the youngest.

My AF is due in approx 6/7 days and deff feel how I usually do before AF!

We've not really stuck to any particular method, tried opks and every other day and a few days over the peak days and we've also tried no tracking and just every other day.

If we move onto next cycle I think we will try some one but wonders cos it's tiring 🤣

@Fairy0708 there is massive pressure to have a small age gap and I don’t know why! I have 2 sisters one 3 years older than me and we can not stand each other never have been able to! But my younger sister is 7 years younger than me and we have always been so close!

no ask away it’s no problem!
my first was a Whoops I was 22 when I had him and had only been with my partner 3 months! (Thankfully it worked out for the best and we are still together & very happy)
my second I thought would be quick given I fell pregnant on the pill with my first! It was 9months before I fell pregnant!
then we started trying again December last year and it took 1 month but ended in miscarriage! I’m not on cycle 2 after that!

Ah thank you. I feel like there's so much pressure to have a smaller age gap. We weren't ready to start trying till my son was almost 2.5 due to his health issues. Do you mind me asking how long your first 2 took? I was under no illusion number 2 would be quick but onto cycle 8 now!

@Fairy0708 i was aiming for 3 years it didn’t happen! I love the 4 year age gap, by the time the little one was born the oldest was able to do a lot of things for himself which took the pressure off! Also he had started school nursery for 2.5 days a week so it was lovely!
now they are bigger it’s even better the oldest will entertain the little one so in school holidays they just play together (with a lot of fighting 🙄)
I also found because eldest was at school I found school mum friends with younger kids who will be in same year so I’ve found everything easier this time!

Ah I'm hoping for a similar age gap as my boy had just turned 3 so I really wanted a 3 year gap (which obviously didn't happen) so now aiming for no more than 4 years. How do you find it?

@Xxfifixx89 it is such a nice age gap! I said no more after the second one 🤣 I have to stop after this one though I don’t have space for a 4th 🤣
I know so many people who had baby’s at 38/39 hopefully it will work out!
