I’m 3dpo, 4th month of trying for no2. im sat here with cramping and needing to wee more frequently than usual.
with my first I had symptoms from 2DPO and got a BFP at 9dpo.

anyone else in the long wait and want to join?

@Samthenanny ahh exactly the same! I fell 1st time with my first.
Sorry about your chemical 🫶
Here's hoping this is the month for us all

@Lollystar15 have you decided if/when you're gonna test?

hi @Shivshiv88 they say pets know so maybe you are 😊

@Gryffindoratheart so a week today, fingers crossed for you and I hope it goes quickly

@Dullblue1234 same here I can feel ovulation, I bet more ovulation cramps than I do af cramps.
this cycle 4 for baby no2. I had a chemical 2 cycles ago also.
it happened first cycle with my first so I assumed it’d be the same but I guess I’m older, more tired and more stressed having a toddler haha

I'm 5dpo today and already fed up of waiting to find out. This is the 2nd cycle of ttc #2. First child took 8 months in the end so not expecting it to be quick this time but oh I wish it was. I didn't have any symptoms with her until I was 6 weeks so I can't even compare 🤣

@Gryffindoratheart oooh everything crossed for you!

Gryffindoratheart · 20/08/2024 14:55

@Samthenanny I can test on 28/08 with a blood test, so 9 days post transfer! Hoping for a sticky one this time, my last transfer ended in an ectopic.

Dullblue1234 · 20/08/2024 13:08

@Samthenanny I think I ovulated evening 15th, as I can usually feel it! The next morn, I had the static smiley on CB... So I'm guessing that puts me at around 5dpo. My bbt dropped today, which I'm hoping might be implantation from what I've read!
This is cycle 3 for baby 2, what about you?

Hi @Gryffindoratheart
ooh exciting, what day can you test?

@Dullblue1234 I think I’ll test 10dpo so that’ll be next Tuesday! Then I’m going up north to visit family so that will take my mind off the impending arrival of AF.
how long have you been trying this time around?

Hi 👋 4dpo and I swear I can smell things that don't exist and it's making me feel ill ( could be in my head but I can smell Christmas air freshener !) and my dog is being very nice to me ( usually just wants to chew me but is now sitting in my lap pleasantly and guarding - again could be in my head) 2 week wait ! X

Dullblue1234 · 20/08/2024 11:18

@Samthenanny so hard!
Trying to distract myself with work and walks so I don't sit goggling every symptom 😂
I will probably cave and test around 10dpo or on Saturday. What about you? X

hi @Dullblue1234 oh it’s so hard to not symptom spot isn’t it.

I thought this time around it would be as quick as with my first but it seems not.

Will you wait it out for AF to arrive or will you test early?

I had an embryo transfer yesterday so I'm 1dp5dt today. The wait is always the worst but!

Dullblue1234 · 20/08/2024 08:40

Think my dates are similar to yours! 🤗
Also wildly symptom spotting over here... Sore nipples, backache and some cramping.

With my first I had symptoms early too, and a bfp 2 weeks after conception
