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!

Anyone else questioning every little twinge and unusual feeling? 7DPO and my boobs are on fire. They feel really tingly and sensitive which I don’t think I normally have, but I never pay that much attention when not TTC!

Think I’ll do a test tomorrow to see as I got a BFP at 8DPO with my DS.

OnePinkDuck · 25/04/2024 20:04

1 DPO! Cycle 3. Lovely to see some positives here! Hope all goes well for you!!!

going to try and hold out to 10DPO - it won’t happen but can try and be optimistic 😂

@Itonlytakesone a chemical is a very early miscarriage. Sometimes before the period or sometimes at 5 weeks.

my very first I tested positive and then had a heavy period at 5 weeks. The one I had last month was before 4 weeks and then a Heavier than usual period.

Chemicals aren’t always recognised or recorded by doctors as they believe it’s the body’s natural way of getting rid of a bad egg or one where the egg and sperm don’t make the right chromosomes etc. that is why egg quality is prioritised.

Some women may have loads of chemicals in which case underlying conditions may need to addressed, for example if the egg is fertilised and is good quality but perhaps the luteal phase is too short / low progesterone in that case that needs to be addressed as it a cause of those chemicals.

im obviously not an expert but I have had a number of losses including chemicals, MMC, and most importantly my son who was born spontaneously and died neonatally from severe prematurity so I am naturally more aware of the different scenarios due to experience

I hope that’s useful!

Hey gang,

May I join please? TTC #3

Taken a small break from MN after a MMC at 7/8 weeks in February. March was a write off for us as DH away and I'm not the Virgin Mary 😂This is the second proper cycle since MC and overall we have been trying since September.

Not 100% sure of our chances this cycle as we didn't manage to to time it properly due to various factors. We DTD Thursday and I think I ovulated Saturday/Sunday judging from CM so that's either -2/-3 days before Ovulation, we also DTD Sunday so could have possibly got it late.

I think I'm currently 5DPO, I really don't think I'll be able to hold out from testing later than 8DPO so scheduling that in for Sunday.

Not really any symptoms, random boob tingles but I get those most months. a small amount of cramping this morning but I think that's unrelated.

@ZK1

Iv never had one so is a chemical a reading positive on test sticks but then a normal period arrives when it was due anyway. Is it an actual start of a pregnancy? X

Daisyrobin123 · 24/04/2024 20:36

I don't know if it's because if I had a CP I'd rather just not know about it if that makes sense 🙈. I know I'd go crazy it I was questioning if a line was there or not. We shall see, I may cave though if everyone on here starts to test 😂. It's so nice that lots of people joined at the start of the tww so we can wait through the torture together!

This makes sense.

For me. I can already feel the symptoms I had last time so I’m pretty certain I’m pregnant again and hope it doesn’t end up in a chemical again as it did last month. If I hadn’t had so many losses I would wait but I think I want to keep an eye on my chemicals too.

let’s see, I might have willpower and wait until closer to my period!

I’m 6DPO today and have all symptoms that AF is coming ☹️ Feel like it’s so early so have AF symptoms but I never mistake them 🙁

Same! AF symptoms and also 6DPO. I’m not surprised as we only DTD the few days leading up to my predicted ovulation (which I don’t track using OPKs)

@Mumma8538 I haven't picked a date yet but 10dpo sounds like a good place to start. I was in Boots looking at some CB digital tests yesterday and almost broke down in tears at the thought of how many BFN I've had since we started ttc. I haven't felt any symptoms at all so feeling a bit worried now .

Mumma8538 · 24/04/2024 20:36

Favofit · 24/04/2024 19:27

So lovely to see BFP already ❤️

@Mumma8538 when are you planning to test ? I'm so tempted to but of course it's only 5DPO today so ... if we don't catch it this month, will start temping.

I’m really tempted to test early but I think the earliest I might do is 10DP0 .. don’t know why I’ve picked that . How about you? Have you any symptoms at all? I don’t ! I have ordered just incase and will start temping next month for sure!

Daisyrobin123 · 24/04/2024 20:36

ZK1 · 24/04/2024 19:32

@Daisyrobin123 you have a lot of control! I wish I was as good but I’ve said that every month and break at 8DPO. I’m still getting symptoms and if they continue I’ll test on 8DPO otherwise I’ll hold off. the amount of tests I go through

@Itonlytakesone that sounds awful! Glad the antibiotics are working.

Itonlytakesone · 24/04/2024 17:41

@SWeal
I really hope it's not that. Symptoms are extremely similar it's just so hard this tww 😭

Itonlytakesone · 24/04/2024 17:40

@Daisyrobin123

I started to see lines 7dpo I couldn't have waited for day 10 I needed to know that my symptoms were real they felt it!

I'm only 8dpo now but line got stronger overnight it was so faint yesterday, I did 2 tests one in morning, one in afternoon and the one later on in the day worked better.

Some strong lines on here, very good to see!

@Itonlytakesone i hope you are feeling a little better today? Did you manage to talk to your GP?

I don’t know about the rest of you but I am 5DPO and can’t wait to test. I’ve been more conscious of my body today and not many boob or uterus pains but I feel a little heart burn / digestion. Again something I only have In pregnancy. Think I will break and test 8DPO.

Yes same 5dpo and can't wait to test! I want to wait until 10dpo though!

14dpo today! Keeping everything crossed this is a sticky little bean.

I've been pretty ill for 4 days and mildly worried it may have harmed my chances of a successful pregnancy but just going to have to wait and see.

Oh congratulations that’s a lovely strong line. It probably is like pp said the baby making you ill, wish you a healthy pregnancy

moosey89 · 24/04/2024 08:37

@Itonlytakesone thank you!

And yay for your stronger line, that's looking so strong for 8dpo!

So sorry for you loss, it must of been hard for you especially because it was your first but sending you positive vibes for this month ✨ we are in this TWW together and the same DPO as me and a few others

Thank you! :) I signed up today because I would like to share my feelings and experience with others. Like me, they might need support or just simply want to know how others are experiencing TWW compared to theirs.
I was sad about the miscarriage however I also have learnt so many things about pregnancy and my body at the same time. I know that I am able to get pregnant and this time I am well prepared.
