2DPO

Does anyone want to ride the TWW with me? I’m about 2DPO today. 2nd cycle trying, but we DTD for the 5 days leading up to ovulation this time so I’m hoping that gives us a better chance.
Got a 3yo DD already and she’s fabulous. Hoping to give her a sibling soon 🤞🏻

Hi ladies, can I join? Second cycle of TTC #1 and about 3DPO I think. Have been tracking, doing BBT (though mine seems all over the place) and this cycle used OPKs. Feel like I have some cramps today but probably just AF on her way…. It’s early days but I’m already anxious as due to health conditions I probably wouldn’t be able to do IVF so keeping everything crossed. Hope everyone is coping ok with the TWW x

Welcome and good luck 💓

I am sorry you feel so anxious, not sure if it helps but my anxiety goes through the roof when I think about all this ttc stuff.

I use the Glow app. It’s pretty good for charting symptoms and giving an idea of my fertility window etc

I was looking back over the past year and looking at my symptoms I’d had for Nov 23 and March 24 DPO 4-10 when I was (unknowingly pregnant) and I can say they are exactly the same symptoms as PMS and gearing up for my period.

Mother Nature has a lot to answer for!

Would this be your first pregnancy? Fingers crossed for you!

If I did conceive then yes it would be my first pregnancy! The cramps have mostly gone now. Continued cramping up until yesterday.

pcbrb · 13/11/2024 07:49

@Hol1st but is it always just spotting? Not a lot of blood flow? And do you usually spot for many days before AF?

Hi, can I wait out the rest of the TWW?
My first month trying BBT and it's put me at 7dpo today, flo always predicted ovulation about 4 to 6 days earlier so now think I may have been missing ovulation for the last year 😖my 4yo was still up and down with his wake ups last year though so it wouldn't have been accurate I don't think. Been trying for the last 13 months and had a MC in July so 🤞🤞 for this month
Trying not to symptom spot and last night I had an urge to POAS, obviously it was negative and a complete waste at 6dpo but the urge has now gone. Trying to hold off for the weekend.

Welcome! We must get some BFP this month now with so many in the group! I don’t think it’ll be me though.. my spotting continues

Thank you for your kind words and knowing you have a beautiful little girl gives me lots of hope.
My first MC was the same, just before Christmas 🙁 which made it even worse.

you still have time yet. I haven’t got any symptoms apart from being really thirsty but I’ve had a bad virus so thirsty probably because my throat is on fire 🔥 in my last two pregnancies literally 3DPO I had sickness, dizziness, stomach pains.

so hard not to over think and just let it go.

Hi lovely. Sorry about you’re difficult time. I’ve also had two losses, and I have a beautiful 3 year old daughter. I’m 6dpo today but I’ve had a fair bit of spotting the last 3 days so I don’t think this is my month. But I’m going to try and remain calm. It took 9 cycles after a loss to get my daughter. My second loss was Christmas Eve last year. Hoping for a better Christmas this year 🤞🏻

Anyone else 4DPO?

ive been pregnant twice, sadly miscarried both times. I’ve been diagnosed with an immune disorder which caused the miscarriages.
After six months of not trying on the advice of doctors we have started to try again.

this is my second cycle of trying.

first pregnancy was a nice accident
second pregnancy took 2 cycles
I couldn’t believe how quickly I fell pregnant as I have endo and I’m older.

now we’re really trying I have this fear it won’t happen and my chances have gone. Sod’s Law

Currently 3DPO.. I've had cramping on and off for a few days now. Today I've woken up with slightly sore boobs which could just be from the gym.. Also had some nausea earlier alongside some indigestion/heartburn!

Would this be your first pregnancy? Fingers crossed for you!

8dpo today. I find the hardest bit is heading towards AF when the symptoms could be PMS or pregnancy symptoms.

Hey @LuluGilmore welcome. Hope you are well. I’ve had some more spotting this afternoon at 5dpo so unsure what’s going on but I doubt I’m pregnant now. I’ve had 3 pregnancies previously and never spotted in between periods. Very frustrating as my cycle is always super regular so no idea what’s going on now

That’s a good sign @pcbrb ! Fingers crossed!
I get lots of symptoms between ovulation and period and I ALWAYS think I’m pregnant (even when I haven’t been trying😂) so I try and remind myself every month not everything is a symptom of pregnancy!

😂😂😂 yes!

Good morning @Hol1st I am doing fine... my temperature is again above the cover line! So that's something good and I hope that it stays like that for the following days! And I don't have any symptoms... but I never get PMS symptoms besides of a little cramping before AF is due.. and until now I don't notice anything.

How is everyone today? I’m feeling a bit PMS. Breast tenderness has mostly gone today. One week today I’ll do a test but feeling less hopeful

My daughter is almost 2. I know, the pull of the tests is just too strong isn’t it?! But then I had so many negatives last month I don’t want all the disappointment again 😔

Show quote history

Me too. I tested every day from 8dpo because we were going on holiday and I just wanted to know beforehand. I’m definitely going to wait until 10dpo minimum this time though. I’ve had a tiny bit of spotting today (4dpo according to my app) so it’s stressed me out a bit.

Ah lovely! How old is your first?

When do you think you will test this time? I’m really going to try and hold out til Friday but I’m already thinking about it which is not a good sign for self control!
