I'm 2dpo and would love some company to get through the next couple of weeks!

I'm on cycle 6 ttc #2. I keep going between feeling really hopeful and optimistic to feeling really deflated and like it's not going to happen. Hoping to stay positive though!

Hey, thanks for this! What a great website. Wild to see that 3% of women are still testing negative at 18dpo!

Haha, yeah, I can only assume that those are women who have their dates wrong, perhaps with long cycles basing their DPO off of a standard 28 day cycle with ovulation on Day 14 when actually they aren't ovulating till Day 20 or so. Still a useful site though!

I’ve been up super early and didn’t do one so I’m in for 10DPO… are you testing this morning?

Yeah I tested as I only just saw your comment 🙈🤣. Bfn! Oh well!

This month we really went for it with dtd, I don't think I can do that again next month so might try smep again.

Can I join this 2ww chaos?

TTC number 1, first cycle so new to all this.

Told myself I really wasn't bothered and was just going to be chill and dtd around the right time and see what happened. Yeah.. you know the rest Blush Fast forward to today, I think I'm around 9dpo and dying to poas.

Do I just go for it.. or hold out a couple more days? Didn't realise how much I actually wanted this Blush DH is super excited too and is really hoping for a positive so I'm deliberately not talking about testing and being v low key about it because I don't want him getting his hopes up. I need to manage his expectations and keep reminding him it might take a few months or more Grin

Hello,

Someone posted this upthread - https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=9

Looks like at 9dpo it's 50/50 as to whether you'll see a positive. If you've got plenty of tests, may as well??

@Firsttimetrier 8PDO is still super early for a positive test, you're not necessarily out yet! I didn't have a positive till 11DPO with my son (was negative at 10DPO). I always found this site helpful when I was tempted to test early: Pregnancy tests on 8 days past ovulation - Countdown to pregnancy

Also TTC first child. Think I'm around 14dpo - tested Friday morning, but nothing. Immense cramps when out for a run this morning (they stopped after the run) so I assume my period is imminent. It'll be a little late, but I've had some kind of illness these past few weeks, so chalking it up to that (although I did try and attribute everything to possible super-early pregnancy!) Not totally counting myself out just yet, but strongly suspect I'll be back in 24hr with a 'nope'.

Good luck to everyone waiting!!

Favofit · 28/04/2024 08:34

9dpo today and didn't face thankfully . Will test tomorrow morning but feeling absolutely zero symptoms 🥲

Hi everyone! Caught half way in the tww also, currently what i believe to be 8 dpo and I'm not sure if I've manifested symptoms! Currently not feeling ready to test as I don't want to see a bfn again 🙈

Currently cycle 4 ttc #2 😊

Edited

Hello,
there is a few of us on the same DPO so we are in this together. What symptoms have you been having?

that’s ok not to test, you do what’s best for you! I caved in yesterday and got a BFN but will test again tomorrow.

Mumma8538 · 28/04/2024 07:22

Daisyrobin123 · 27/04/2024 18:10

I'll hold out till 10dpo if you do!!

I’ve been up super early and didn’t do one so I’m in for 10DPO… are you testing this morning?

ChyLL · 27/04/2024 21:53

Hi, I notice this thread has been going for a while, hope it’s ok to jump in. I am 5/6dpo and I had fertility treatment so I know I ovulated on Monday 22nd April.

My last cycle I fell pregnant but unfortunately had a MC at 6 weeks. This TWW is so much harder as I’m comparing everything to last time when I got a positive.

Last cycle I had twinges when I got up too fast frequently from Ovulation and cramping on Ovulation day.. this time I’ve had no twinges and hardly any cramping… expecting the worst.

I know every pregnancy is different but anyone had similar? Lots of symptoms one positive and then nothing the next??

We have not been careful for the 6 months but it was only this cycle I started to track. With DS we feel right away with only DTD once… pure fluke I know!

cramping for me is the same I don’t pay attention to that either… ha we are exactly the same.

I might test again at 10DPO and then 12DPO you know keep it an even thing… or I’m completely lying and I’ll test again in the morning. Depends on how I feel in the morning 🙈

I'll hold out till 10dpo if you do!!

This is cycle 6! It only took 3 months with my DS which felt like forever at the time but I know in reality that was nothing at all! What about you?

We sound like we are exactly the same with the nausea. It just seems to be something I get! I've also realised cramps are normal for me around a week before AF is due (something I used to hope wss implantation but now I know is just normal for me!)

I can't decide! What are you going to do?

@Xxfifixx89

I know the wee dilute through the day but the way I see it is your pregnancy if there is one progresses more through the day so later on my line was more visible which I needed because the first test in the morning I was thinking I was seeing things.

As for the wedding I'd do another test then make a decision about the drinking. I'd had some the weekend after ovulation but as soon as any symptoms started (for me that was about 5/6dpo) I stopped drinking then because I just went off it which is definitely not like me!🤣

Mumma8538 · 27/04/2024 16:02

How long have you been trying now ? Did you try awhile with your first. We are only human and have emotions so can’t help feeling a bit down but I suppose it’s how you manifest it.

I didn’t feel disappointed either I think I would have been more shocked if it was BFP. I never really noticed nausea until starting TTc but it appears I get that most months.. I’m assuming it’s a hormonal thing as I’ve felt it just these last couple of hours but I’m like you and haven’t thought too much into it as has happened before .

will you test everyday now or do you think you’ll wait ?

It's hard to stay positive when you really want something and some days I get a bit down about it but trying to change my perspective! I've told myself if it gets to a year then I'll allow myself to worry!

Sorry to hear it was a bfn, same here! Wasn't surprised though and therefore not disappointed. I feel nauseous today but I've felt like that in previous months and it didn't amount to anything! How are you feeling?

Doesnt it get more diluted though as the day goes on? How long did you hold your urine for in the afternoon? Im at a wedding tonight and thinking shall I drink or shall I not🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

My personal outlook is I will drink normally up until a positive test but then I will stop. However, I had the occasional drink when I was pregnant with my son on special occasions a small handful of times (a small glass of wine or champagne), maybe treat it like that and have just one small glass of something extra yummy. As a small amount infrequently isn’t harmful (I was born in the generation where the medical advice was to drink a Guinness a day if you were iron deficient and I turned out alright) 😂

@Xxfifixx89

I think I can see it slightly on bottom one... maybe test again later this afternoon see if you can see it amy clearer! Mine showed 7dpo very slightly so I did another later that day and it was slightly more visible! I'm 11dpo now much stronger line clearly visible had left side ovary pains last two days now that's passed Hmm

OnePinkDuck · 27/04/2024 11:33

@Xxfifixx89 i think I see the line! Fingers crossed for you!

3 DPO here and aiming to
hold out as long as possible. I’m finding this cycle far easier than the last. I symptom spotted everything possible from 2DPO last time 😂
To run you through TTC cycle 2:
2dpo and 3dpo - severe nausea (manifested to be a tummy bug)
3dpo severe fatigue and migraine (likely the tummy bug)
4dpo severe fatigue and insomnia
5dpo heart burn (which I’ve only ever had when pregnant, was probably a hangover from the tummy bug)
6dpo migraine and insomnia
7dpo vivid dreams and insomnia
8dpo migraine
10 to 11 dpo uterine pain and spotting (I somehow managed to convinced myself it was implantation)
and then low and behold 12 dpo - period

tested every day from d5 onwards (and sometimes twice a day), really can’t go through that stress again - was the weirdest cycle ever, but probably everything could have been explained by the infection.

so just trying to be way more chilled this month.

We will try and help keep you chilled!!

Exactly this !!! I read this and really resonated with it… if it happens it happens but like you need to live the happiest life with my little girl!

they do say stress plays a big factor in trying to conceive so need to be more zen , which is easier said than done in life … did you end up testing ? You are the same DPO as me and I caved and was BFN for me.
