Anyone want to join for two week wait?

Oh, sorry you did say that in your post. I’m not very knowledgeable about irregular cycles so apologies if I ask a silly question.

could test on cheap ovulation tests - basically everyday to see what you ovulate? I don’t usually have irregular cycles but after I lost my son my periods were a little irregular so I started testing from around 5 days after my period to when I got my next period. I usually did it in the morning and if the line grew stronger I did another that evening.

that helped to pinpoint and it was getting a little tiring having to have sex every other day. Some days we’d miss it and I would fear that was the day we’d missed ovulation.

In any case, I hope this is your cycle!

@ZK1 I can`t actually tell how many dpo I am due to very irregular cycles, hence the CONSTANT testing :( It is draining!

@Firsttimetrier did you do a test today?

I am a day behind you (7dpo today) and have the same symptoms with my boobs, on and off aching and another big one for me that I only get in pregnancy is indigestion/ heartburn. I feel like my food is regurgitating when I lie down (sorry if that’s tmi!)

I couldn’t help myself and did a First response and got the slightest line, I just hope it grows the next few days. Not sure if others will be able to see it- I can!

@Itonlytakesone thank you! Like others have said on here some don’t get there positive until after their periods, so don’t give up hope yet! I get quite extreme symptoms in pregnancy and early pregnancy too. Not everyone is the same, I know some very lucky women who sail through (my mum)

@Saraahh what dpo are you? Have you tried first response? They tend to be accurate. 🤞🏽

Hello,

i can also see a faint line but the test also looks flooded ( which can show up faint lines when it’s not positive) hope that makes sense! I would try and do another test to see what you get

Hello to everyone new on here, if you’re new to the ttc journey then I wish you all the very best, this is a great space to ask question or just chat. I find it very useful!

for those who’ve been trying for a long time / have had losses. I am very sorry. It can be so lonely, heartbreaking and frustrating. I’ve been there and all I can say is keep going. Push for what you want and I hope you get it. 🌟

Hope you manage to conceive again soon!

Eee I really hope so! Been a tough journey with one mc then just haven’t been atc since!

I am sure theres a faint line there

@Saraahh
Yeah think it got a bit twisted after my dd had been living in me for 9 months! I'm all ok now - well until this time. A pg test great sorry iv never seen one like that before 🤣x

@Itonlytakesone It’s a pg test! Haha, they’re the ones they have in the GP.

I’m glad it’s not endo, but it is annoying they had to poke and prod you 😭 Recovery isn’t the best either. Did your bowel issue get sorted??

@Saraahh hi, is that a pg test?! It looks like a Covid test. I'm just using crappy Amazon ones so I don't buy tests from the shops often though!

I got tested for endo the other year but it ended up being a bowel issue so I was dissected for no reason, hope they got it all out! X

@Mumma8538 thank you, I did cry a lot that day and more since then. I am not feeling any symptoms at all and perhaps 7dpo is too early . I feel drained

This is my first message on here!

Would love to join! (Even though it feels like I’m waiting everyday!) Have been TTC for 8 months with no luck as I have PCOS and had surgery to remove severe endometriosis 4 months ago. Irregular cycles so can’t even track how many dpo as it’s all over the place 😭 Have been having periods every 2-3 weeks recently but haven’t had a bleed in 3 weeks now… Took a test this morning and nearly got my hopes up but I think it’s an evap line but I’ve not had them with this test before… Have attached image.

I wish you all good luck and I hope you get a positive test soon! The wait it’s excruciating!

Still in out though til AF comes, with my DD I didn’t show positive until 2 days after AF was due !

Another BFN and AF due this weekend as on CD28😫

@LucyCL i got the most crazy vivid dreams when i had conceived my son - it was actually one of the things that triggered me to take a pregnancy test, we hadn’t been trying and I hadn’t missed my period, so fingers crossed for you!

Also hello to all the others on this thread. It sounds like their has been a lot of tough journeys for a lot of people so just wanted to say I am reading all of the posts on here but I do sometimes get lost at who I’ve answered and who I haven’t- sorry!
but we are in this together 🤍

update for me is I’m 7DPO and I’m not having any different symptoms which I can get in the run up to AF like cramping/ tiredness . I am getting prepared for if we have no luck and brought myself a thermometer so I have started to temp as I’ve read it’s the only way to confirm if you ovulated after your peak.

happy Friday 😁

is anyone testing today or have symptoms ?

@LucyCL that dip in BBT could be promising with implantation? I do get vivid dreams but that’s normal for me in the lutheal phase and CM I still haven’t got the swing of monitoring that and need to do a bit more research as mine seems to be different every cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi can I join please?
I'm trying for my first after a MMC at 10w in feb. I think I'm 3 dpo. I'm planning to test on Thursday which will be 9dpo because I'm off on holiday after that. Part of me wishes I could just chill out and not test and not take tests with me and just see if AF turns up when I'm away but in reality I'll be packing multiple tests 🙈 It'll be awkward too as we're going with others who will notice me not drinking but I just don't want to drink until AF arrives.

Hello, welcome

do you use OPK’s at all? As this happened to me and when I look at my tests I had a surge around CD9/10 and had ovulation pain with more CM but had my peak at CD18 and the same ovulation pain and CM so looks like I get symptoms when I also surge .
when is your AF due?

Oh lovely 💔 it is heart breaking for you! But I do think personally some tears do help with processing your emotions and we should let them flow when they come. But you will get your BPF you will you will. Did you buy any? I’m in the same but just could be implantation hasn’t happened yet!

I hope you will have a successful pregnancy! I like joining this thread because we are sharing our experiences together. I wish you will feel better soon.

4DPO: EWCM, vivid dreams (one after another, non stop), I felt emotional
5DPO:EWCM, vivid dreams, (one after another, non stop), I felt like I could easily cry over little things. Very weak pulling at the right side of my uterus. I think I experienced the second surge of progesterone, BBT reached the highest point of the whole cycle so far
6DPO (Today): EWCM, mostly thick and white, a bit clumpy. I searched online and it could be yeast infection (?) but I don't feel anything down there. BBT dropped a bit but still quite high

Normally I don't have any symptoms during the luteal phase, before and even during AF. I will start to test PdG from tomorrow for 4 days. At this stage, I can assume that my hormone levels are working as they should during the menstrual cycle.
Apart from the symptoms above, I have no more symptoms.

Does anyone have similar experience?

Hi, can I join please?

I'm not 100% certain when I ovulated, I could be 1dpo or 8dpo! 2 lots of CM and 2 lots of cramps, but the last few days up until today they had been very painful both sides.

This will be #2 for us and first cycle.

@ZK1

Thank you that is very informative and useful. I'm also so sorry to hear about all your losses especially your poor son how heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹.

I'm scared of my period coming it would be devastating, it's just so early yet at 9dpo I'm trying to just carry on as normal as far as everyone else is concerned, it's mad that this is the most dangerous part and the part where you need the most help but we are all sworn to secrecy in this ''2ww & 12 ww '.

It's daft really because if I knew someone was struggling at this stage of a pregnancy I'd be right there to help them knowing how frightening it is. But we go it alone we keep going
