Hey ladies 👋🥰 ,

I thought I would start a thread for anyone wanting to join me in my tww 🎊.

I am currently 1dpo I have quite a long cycle usually irregular due to PCOS but they seem to have semi regulated themselves and ive ovulated for the first time in years, AF due the 18th of April, same day it was due with my DD in 2013! Found out I was pregnant the day after it was due 🥳, hoping this is history repeating itself as this has been a long ttc journey 😪.

What dpo is everyone? I thought we could share symptoms while we wait. I am terrible for symptom spotting 😂

I've just deleted the tests from my amazon basket 😂I'll swing past tesco on Wednesday and hope I hold my nerve.

Boobs are aching, feel bloaty and I keep needing the loo, also a fluttery feeling in my general wombular area....way too early to tell - I have well and truly been sucked into symptom spotting!
My bra's probably on the wrong hook and I've drunk too much water!

How about everyone else?

I am laughing but I am also guilty ✋️, I have sore nipples and itchy! I had lots of watery cm yesterday but today it's more like lotion and I have a sore back too

Congrats to @littlepanda88 too!

DH is on a training course this week, so I'll hold off until Saturday if I can. It'll still be too early I think, but I know I won't be able to wait.

I'm the same @MadeWithL0ve around 17th, seems like an age away. How are you keeping your mind off of it?

Oh so if we both get bfp we should be due around the same time, I'm doing a big clear out truing to keep busy but it's hard I've not bought any tests yet so I'm not tempted to test before atleast 10dpo lol how are you getting on any symptoms?

@Hopethisendswell ahhhh not me...YET! I'm only 6dpo. Littlepanda is our first BFP on this thread! Hoping her luck passes to us all.

I'm going to try and hold out to test but I won't do it any earlier than 10dpo. My period is due next Sunday so still go a bit of a wait!

Hopethisendswell · 06/04/2024 09:43

Fingers crossed for you @GSD2024
And huge congratulations @teampacey

4dpo based on physical symptoms, think I ovulated 2 days early which confuses things. I might have to do a few practice tests while I wait 😆

GSD2024 · 06/04/2024 09:40

@littlepanda88 you’re making me want to test…my period is due Thursday too. But looking back on the tests I took when I was pregnant with my son, I didn’t get a faint line until 11DPO so think I will hold off x

littlepanda88 · 06/04/2024 09:34

@GSD2024 it's very possible it was implantation bleeding, it can happen from 6-9DPO so I'd guess 7 is the average? Fingers crossed for you! :)

@teampacey hey! Yes I did test again this morning with a cheapie again (I've a whole box haha) and the line is a bit darker! Still can't believe it :) but my period is due Thursday so still a bit nervous until then, as I do feel it's very early.

I hope this is a lucky month for everyone - keeping fingers crossed for you all :)

@Hopethisendswell I think the best day is probably around 10/11dpo but if you're anything like me, you'll be testing earlier anyway😂 how many dpo are you now? Good luck!

Hopethisendswell · 06/04/2024 09:28

So excited for you all 😁
It's been a while since I've done this...is 10 dpo when I need to test?

teampacey · 06/04/2024 09:19

I so hope this is the month for all of us!
@littlepanda88 have you tested again? So excited for you!

GSD2024 · 06/04/2024 08:25

@MadeWithL0ve i know, it’s so hard!! When do you think you will test? My period is due Thursday x

I'm 7dpo today and itching to test but I don't want to be disappointed lol I've not bought any tests yet so I'm not tempted to use them all 🤣 I do feel kinda hopeful this month

Thank you @MadeWithL0ve, nothing this morning when I wiped so maybe was just irritated. It’s just odd as I never bleed after DTD

Sounding promising 🤞 I've never had ib but I have heard it can be anything from a little speckle to light bleed for upto 3 days I have everything crossed for you, how many dpo are you sorry if you have already said I maybe missed it

Can I ask for your advice ladies, if not I will start a new thread but feel more comfortable asking here.

I’m around 7DPO, and my DH & I just had sex. After I had very tinge pink bleeding, which I never get. It wasn’t a lot, just when I wiped. Could this be implantation? It wasn’t old blood though, and was only a little bit.

It very well could be it sounds about when implantation could occur but could also be irritation of the cervix from dtd

5964emily · 05/04/2024 23:07

i don’t know, but it could be - I think implantation blood is usually pink rather than older darker or red blood.

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses, I hope everything goes smoothly for you all this month xx

Please can I join? I'm on a 3dpo board too, so don't know if it's allowed 😅
TWW after getting carried away (I know, I know, we really should know better!), 3dpo based on CM and cramps but app says ovulation was yesterday.
Have older teens, so would be very much a surprise. Last pregnancies years ago were a miscarriage and CP, so I'm not sure things will work out, but it hasn't stopped me mentally making plans 😍

GSD2024 · 05/04/2024 20:40

@5964emily sorry to hear that, you’re not out until AF arrives. Hope you’re ok, I know how demoralising it is 😔. X

5964emily · 05/04/2024 20:31

Just tested with a clearblue ultra early… 8dpo (AF due 12dpo) - BFN… 🥹 Woke up this morning and just knew it would be negative, having spent the last week absolutely convinced it would be BFP! Eugh… going to find something nice to watch on tele… I know in theory it could be a false result, but feel it’s unlikely. Sending loads of positive thoughts to all of you!!! (and will probably test again tomorrow…)

5dpo today and had a gorgeous massage and reflexology. She said she felt all emotional when she did the area of my left ovary- I had ovulation pain this month and it was the left side. I feel really positive this month.

That is amazing! I hope we all get our bfp soon and we can all continue to update each other throughout

GSD2024 · 05/04/2024 20:20

Sounds like quite a few of us are getting similar symptoms, just hope we all see the BFP’s next week 🥰
