@hannah1201 I'm planning on testing at 12 DPO, unless I get symptoms before then.

I am tracking using LH strips. I ovulated on CD 17 last cycle and CD 16 this one. I only stopped taking BC in February, so my cycle is finally staring to normalize. I thought I had implantation cramps last cycle around 7 dpo but then AF came a few days later.

I'm not sure about the cervix thing mainly because I have no idea if I feeling it or not.

Hoping everyone has success this cycle!

@QuirkyJadeSwan Thank you, I know the not symptom spotting I think is completely impossible! The tww seems to take forever as well x

Thank you @hannah1201 I felt a heavy kind of feeling in my womb at 3dpo but now I feel completely normal so nothing for me, how are you feeling today? x

@butterfly1511 did you read my mind? Lol I literally did the same thing this morning, and mine is quite low, I read it should be high if pregnant which made me sad, but then I read another website that said checking your cervix is very unreliable and it changes constantly through the month, so I'm going with that info x

I'm feeling normal other than bloating @Ladyinpink1 - kind of normal for
Me at this stage though! I'm really quiet at work at the moment which isn't helping the overthinking! Praying time goes quickly! How are you today?

Good luck to everyone! Let's hope we can keep each other sane 👀

@MocktailMe i also have PCOS but I have healthy BMI but I still don’t ovulate all cycles, my GP prescribed me metformin while I wait for fertility referral, which seems to have helped.
Like you my LH would be all over the place but with metformin this cycle I had the peak just once!
I also started using OvuSense, which is helpful as it confirmed ovulation and so I don’t have to continue DTD, just have to wait impatiently now.

@hannah1201
7dpo today and just waking up with a migraine every day for the last 3 days but that’s the only symptom I have.

how is everyone else feeling today xxxx

photobook · 29/05/2024 10:03

3DPO, managed to DTD day of o, o-2 and o-4. Which is extremely good for us, either somethings happening in there or I've got a UTI coming on 😂😭🤯

Trying for months naturally but first time tracking everything like a crazy!

LucyCL · 29/05/2024 09:58

Hello I would like to join please! I had a CP earlier this month and today is 1 dpo for me. I am feeling very calm and relaxed after waiting desperately for my hormones to be back to normal and the LH peak day. Good luck to all of us here!

butterfly1511 · 29/05/2024 09:16

Feeling a bit disheartened today, cervix is very firm now which I have read is a sign you haven't conceived. Hate the waiting!!

Try not to overthink it @butterfly1511 ! You're still in with a chance

I don't track ovulation any other way than EWCM and libido - the sticks I have tried but seemed to get multiple peaks which the doctor advised happens with PCOS. She said ignore them and DTD every other day all month - obviously I don't always want to do that. I know my cycle fluctuation so ensure we are well covered for it being anywhere between 28-38 days long. Not that I've had any luck so far obviously!

I'm really hoping this month will be THE month. I know we've had enough sex (but then I also know we have plenty of other months), my BMI is finally down to 30 on the dot (more to go but I've lost nearly 2 stone and proud of that!) and I've not had a drink for three months either so feeling healthy and ready.

I think I do feel better this month generally as either it works, or it doesn't, and if it doesn't I've got my appointment for next month so won't be continuing endlessly with no help in sight. But get back to me in ten days.....

woke up early with lower back and abdominal cramps, I know they say it can happen around implantation and I am now 6 DPO, but they are really painful, feel like period cramps !

@Henski this is exciting! Hopefully it Is implantation that you're feeling! 😍

I'm 1 dpo and definitely looking for some new friends. This is cycle #3 of baby #1 for me (but first time hitting the fertile window well), so fingers crossed.

I leave for a family trip in a week so hopefully that'll keep me good and distracted. Lol.

@Ladyinpink1 and @Forestg I'm sorry it's taking so long.

I know that feeling too, pretty much every odd symptom is so much more obvious to me.

@QuirkyJadeSwan fingers crossed for this cycle for you! We must've ovulated around the same time! When will you test? I'm hoping this next week flies by 😂

Hey all! Hope you don’t mind that I join. I’m 6dpo after an unmedicated IUI procedure (4 years TTC and 5th IUI cycle) apart from a horrid migraine the last two days I have no symptoms at all! How are you all getting on? Xxx

Hey @Forestg - fingers crossed for you!! How are you feeling? I'm only 2 dpo today and just hoping the next week or so goes quickly! 😂

Hi, I'm 4dpo and happy to have some tww friends! This is cycle 10 for me after a mmc in August. It has never taken so long so i'm very ready to be pregnant! 🙂.
Is anyone else over analysing every tiny twinge or feeling? x

Sorry to hear it's taking you a while @Ladyinpink1 ! Sending you lots of baby dust! Are you feeling anything different this cycle. ?

Little further ahead at 5 dpo, 2nd month ttc baby no 1. When would you advise to test from ?

@Henski from about 9 dpo but it can take a while longer than that to show up on a test 😊

hannah1201 · 28/05/2024 17:56

@MocktailMe thanks for sharing! My friend has been on Clomid for the last 3 cycles. It has shortened her cycle each month by a few days so far! Sending you lots of positive vibes for this month!

Are you tracking your ovulation any way other than an app?

I'm with you on the early testing .... I know it's going to show nothing but just can't help myself 😂

OP posts:
MocktailMe · 28/05/2024 16:21

Hey. Today is ovulation day for me - at least the apps think so, and I've had the usual EWCM to make me think the same. DTD early this morning and Saturday o-2, plus Thursday so o-4.

TTC since September 23, no luck so far. PCOS, cycle ranges from 28-38 days, although so far this year all under 34 days. Today is CD 16.

I've got a hospital appointment next month to discuss medicated cycles, possibly clomid. I've already had scans (healthy overall, but clear PCOS ovaries, the doctors aren't too concerned unlike me, as I have a regular cycle). Am desperately hoping I'll be able to cancel that appointment due to pregnancy!!

I'll probably be POAS by Sunday, Monday latest 😅

butterfly1511 · 28/05/2024 15:43

@hannah1201 OK. I probably won't test until 7th or 8th June. Unless I take some tests away with me 😶

hannah1201 · 28/05/2024 15:14

@butterfly1511 a good distraction!! I'll test 9dpo as that's when I've had positives before - 5th June. Although I'll probs cave at 8 😂 when do you plan on testing?

OP posts:
butterfly1511 · 28/05/2024 15:11

@hannah1201 yeah OK relaxed is not the right word 😂 were on holiday next week so hoping that will take my mind off it and I can test when we get back. When will you test?
