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!

@Daisyrobin123 Yes this happened to me!! Usually ovulate day 13/14 and we DTD everyday during fertile window…didn’t ovulate until day 19 🫠

Trying SMEP this month just to take some pressure off! xx

How strange!! Glad it's not just me. We tried SMEP last month, hopefully the opposite methods work for us both 😂

We've dtd lots this month too! I thought I was going to ovulate on say 15 or 16 but didn't until 20!!

Its mad isn't it! How ovulation can change! I've got a watch that tracks Mt temperature and I've apparently only ovulated today, day 17 and I tend to have a 28/29 day cycle, so it seems late!
We shall see, I only had my CP last month so not sure if that's why! Now the wait begins

@Daisyrobin123 🫠bet you're shattered. We only dtd once I'm unsure exactly keen I ovulate I never track it I have a 28 day cycle though. I guess I'll just hope for the best 🤷🏼‍♀️

New symptom bit of nausea earlier only very slight and pains in both my ovary area. I'm not completely sure how many dpo I guess because I just guess.

Daisyrobin123 · 22/04/2024 19:53

Welcome everyone! So lovely to have so many people to go through this together with. Hopefully we have some positives between us this month!

Has anyone had a completely 'off' ovulation? For the last 5 months I've ovulated CD15 or 16 but this month it was day 20! So random. So we ended up dtd for 8 days in a row. It worked for my first baby so we just thought we'd try it again but omg if I have to do that again I'm going to die 😂. I know it's not necessary to do it every day but because it worked last time I felt like I had to give it a go (and also I expected to ovulate day 15 so thought it would only be 4-5days in a row!!)

I’d love to join, currently 2DPO, cycle 7 of trying baby #3. I’m normally ok for this first week…it’s the second week that gets me 😩 I’ve managed to hold off from testing though since starting this journey, i normally know 2-3 days before AF is coming before it actually arrives! Baby dust to everyone xx

I'm the same! First week I'm absolutely fine but by the 2nd week I just want to know either way. Then I tell myself I'll wait to see if AF shows but I always end up testing the day before!

We've dtd lots this month too! I thought I was going to ovulate on say 15 or 16 but didn't until 20!!

Hello...I'll join in please. I think im currently 2/3 dpo. Had static smiley face on Friday. Fourth cycle ttc first baby. I have been pregnant (v much an unplanned but happy suprise) about 10 years ago but lost it early on. That relationship broke down and I never met the right person until three years ago. Hubby has an eight year old from a previous relationship who is the greatest kid.

So I'm 37 going on 38 this year and I won't lie I am so afraid of my age being a factor. I'm very aware four months is no time at all and 37 isn't over the hill so I don't want to sound insensitive as I have close friends that struggled with infertility for years. Period is very regular and digital opks give me a positive reading at the time when I'd expect. Normal follicular and luteal phase lengths it seems. So until we've been trying for six months I'm hopefully assuming things are as they should be.

Hope you're all doing OK its tough not being able to talk to anyone in real life about this x

Firsttimetrier · 22/04/2024 15:45

I’m currently 4DPO (I think, just tracking using the Flo app and CM) of my first cycle TTC number 2.

Although it’s only cycle 1, we’re finding it harder to find the energy or time to fit in DTD with a wild nearly 2 year old around 😂.

I’m planning on testing on Sunday as I had a strong line 9DPO with my first, so will see how this one goes! I’m expecting it to be negative though as we only managed to DTD a few days before and the day before I ovulated, but think I might have judged it wrong!

Itonlytakesone · 22/04/2024 15:32

6dpo for me my stomach isn't right I can't stop going to the loo must be loosing everything I eat🫣 everything is an effort feel so fatigued. I don't usually feel like this in the run up to af. This 2ww wait is soul destroying

@Mumma8538 I thought you could just pick a month and decide what time of the year you would have a little one , so naïve. I'm not sure I am totally in tune with my body and unsure when I ovulate. Saying that my cycles have always been regular. I had an ectopic pregnancy in June 22 and lost my left tube and since then my body hasn't felt the same. I'm staying hopeful.

I thought I was in tune with mine but turns out I’m not so if not successful this month will start temping also.
so sorry to hear about your ectopic that must of been hard for you. Maybe could you try temping also if no luck?

@Mumma8538
I sometimes do get sore boobs in run up to period but never cramps this bad. I'm due on 30th so I'll wait and see but iv been reading symptoms on other threads and that some that iv been feeling lead to AF coming so im less positive now.

I think iv made my stomach churn symptom spotting giving me the cramps Confused

It seems to be every cycle is so different and PMS symptoms can be the same as early pregnancy !! Come on , old Mother Nature could have made it a bit easier for us to know the different right!
still keep being positive because if it’s meant to be it will happen!

Mumma8538 · 21/04/2024 21:55

@Mumma8538 tell me about it ! I find it absolutely fascinating how in tune some people are with their bodies and know so much. TTC feels like getting a Doctorate in conception

I know right, ignorant old me when I was younger just thinking well when you want to have a baby you just have sex around the middle of your cycle and bang it will happen right away 🫨 older me… nope sorry not that easy

Can I join? I should be 2DPO according to Premom app but I've stopped ovulation tracking as my anxiety levels were through the roof. Baby dust to everyone xx

Snap 2DPO for me too! Some people know when they ovulate due to symptoms … are you one of these lucky ones… it’s funny how we test to try and find out about our bodies but testing can also not help your head.. it’s like you can’t win either way!

Mumma8538 · 21/04/2024 19:39

Itonlytakesone · 21/04/2024 16:49

I'm 5dpo I tested negative yesterday and today no idea why I'm testing this early I can't help it. Saturday started with cramps
and a bit of a bad tummy sat & sun morning and a feeling of 'fullness' in my lower stomach also tender boobs x

I think we test early as that’s all you can do at that stage and symptom spot! Or sit on your hands and wait for AF but that’s super hard! Are tender boobs normal for you after ovulation? These last 5 months I seem to get tender boobs after ovulation until AF arrived but this month nothing… makes me think even though I had a peak that maybe I didn’t actual ovulate this month as I don’t temp check to confirm.

@Eatsleepbakerepeat Hi! Sorry to hear about your CP 😭. How old is your son/daughter? My little boy is 2 and we've just hit the tantrum stage 😅. Definitely agree. Before we started trying I thought I'd be so chilled this time around.. I was wrong!

@Xxfifixx89 Fingers crossed for you! I didn't think I was going to ovulate this month as its always been on CD 15/16 and this month it was randomly day 20! Do you do any tracking?

@Mumma8538 Hiya! How old is your little one? I bet you are glad you started tracking. My body has completely thrown me off this month I've got no idea what's going on!

my DD is 5 soon to be turning 6, so will be a bit of a gap but we did want a gap. So glad I started tracking as I always thought was around CD14/15 due to CM but looks like I have a small surge about then … hence the CM but don’t ovulate to later. Not sure if it’s every month this happens but def was this month.
think our bodies just do as they please it seems

snorlax99 · 21/04/2024 17:25

Hi, I'm a bit behind, on CD 11, usually ovulate on day 14 or 15. Ttc number 2. We started trying last September, but then ended up stopping for various reasons so we're starting again this month. Keeping my fingers crossed but can't imagine I'd be so lucky to concieve straight away!
