That's very true, I told my myself I would wait this month until at least the day before but I know I'll cave!
Aw cute. I have 2 who are 7 and 5. We've toyed with the idea of another for awhile and then this year I said let's just go for it and if it doesn't happen I can't say we didn't try. The problem Is until we starter trying I didn't realise how much I wanted it! Although terrified at the same time haha.

@AudreyJL omg you are very patient!! I would be doing dip sticks every morning haha!!
I'm trying not to symptom spot. Last few months my bbs have been so so tender but turns out that's now my new norm doing the 2 week wait although this month not really had it yet. I'm extremely tired which apparently can be the case during implantation but it's probably just cause I'm tired haha I can make a symptom out of anything!! Do you just have the 1? Xx

The first cycle TTC, I had all the symptoms and was so convinced I was pregnant and started testing from 8dpo but was so disappointed when it was BFN and period came on time so just been waiting to test. Works better for my anxiety rather than get a BFN and wonder if I tested too early or if it's a true negative haha. I feel like everytime I'm like "Oh no cramps.." I start feeling the cramps lol. I have just the 1, who is 3.5 and really wants a younger sibling/baby. How about you?

@AudreyJL when are you going to test? You had any symptoms? X

I will test Wednesday if my AF doesn't show on Monday/Tuesday. I've been having some mild cramps and bloating today. Very sore nipples during ovulation, tad bit tender still whilst breastfeeding my older toddler but bearable. I have vaginismus so not sure how that truly affects my chances of conceiving but I'm in treatment for it though progress is extremely slow. Had it with my first as well (though thought what I was experiencing was completely normal) and wasn't trying but did conceive 11 months after getting married (thought I had ovulated based on CM, so figured 5 days after I was safe to dtd and disregarded any fertile-like CM haha)

It's so hard! I already have children and with my 1st the waiting was unbearable! Turned out I do have some fertility problems so I find it so hard wondering if they are going to make this harder. My 2nd was not planned however haha so obviously something works ok! Also I'm nearly 36 and wondering if my age will also an issue. On cycle 3 of trying ans this month feels different but it's probably all in my head!
Ah ok so I will be 7dpo then makes sense!

Got a smiley on my CB monitor on the 14th but only started having ovulation cramps on the 15th so roughly 8/9dpo. Due AF on Monday. The waiting is always the hardest but I've been pretty good at not testing haha

tiffxxx · 23/01/2025 15:10

Yeah you go from the darkest point the strips at

Hiya nice to have a reply 😊 well I'm not 100% sure! I had faint ovulation lines last Tuesday so do I count from then? Or Friday I hae v v dark ovulation lines on test and in like with my period it males more sense to be counting from then! So possibly only 7dpo, way to early to test but sooooo wanting to haha. Due AF on Thursday. How about you?

At the moment mines going mad according to the app I peaked on the 18th but it's now rising again
