Morning girls, that’s it really, looking for 2WW buddies to get through the longest part of the ttc cycles !
I’m 1DPO, cycle 8 for a first baby 🤞🏼

Omg @lalalalalala2024 I can see it !!! Please keep us updated on how it progresses ! And don’t be scared ! You might have been sick because of the rise of progesterone as it shot up to maintain implantation so it might not mean anything bad !

Morning ladies, I decided to test this morning at 9dpo and I have a faint line !! After being sick yesterday and having a nap in the middle of the day I couldn’t shake the feeling off. I took a first response test first I could see the faintest of lines and I’ve took an early at home and can also see it.
I didn’t have any sickness till I was past 6 weeks with my DD so I am scared.

I’m symptom spotting too. I’ve had cramps on and off. I keep thinking I’ve got my period but nothing so far. That was the same when I was pregnant last time. I also have a week to wait before I’ll test. Though I’ve got lots of ovulation tests that I don’t plan to use so I could try them if I get impatient 😂

Evening girls, yesss finally entering the second week tomorrow or the day after. Idk about you but this week was so slow for me!
@lalalalalala2024this sounds promising ?! I’ve had the cramps on my lower right side and painful boobs. We shall see !
@positivethoughts1i don’t think it
would necessarily affect
implantation ! We are exactly the same dpo, I’m 7dpo tomorrow.

Nearly the end of the first week/into the second week for most of us. I can’t help but symptom spot. I have been sick twice today. I did go out this afternoon with DD and DP and ate popcorn, I did eat quite a bit of it and I do think it must be that as I can’t imagine being sick so early on 😅.
I haven’t been sick since I was in the first trimester with my DD and that was nearly 6 years ago.

@positivethoughts1is this your first cycle ? I haven’t tracked my temp but I was looking at some videos and I might do it next month. I have the premom app and they have a premom thermometer which I’ll get if I do start temping.

Hi sorry I missed this! No this is cycle number 3 but the first 2 I didn’t use OPKs or track BBT. 6DPO today and I’ve been so poorly! Couldn’t sleep at all last night, woke up with a fever and all aches and spent most of the day in bed. I’m a little bit gutted because I wonder if this could prevent implantation happening ☹️. When is everyone testing? I didn’t rate FRER tests on my past pregnancies. I preferred the clear blue digital ultra early one, I have one in the cupboard so I think I might use it on Friday at 10DPO??

@EllieWalestell me about it ! I usually disregard any symptoms during the first week as I know I wouldn’t have implanted yet, but sometimes it’s just wishful thinking isn’t it. ! When I had my chemical pregnancy I had no symptoms at all, and all the other months I just spotted a million symptoms 😂 I can’t be trusted !
would be great to have some BFPs !

EllieWales · 21/07/2025 14:37

I’m 6 dpo today, been having digestive issues and feeling a bit sick over the last 48 hours and I know it’s almost definitely unrelated but I can’t help but wonder 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve been 100% convinced after misinterpreting symptoms in the past, I don’t know if they were imaginary or real but I know my brain can play tricks on me during the TWW!

I have a feeling it’s going to be a long long week until I test a week today. Hoping we have some BFPs before the end of the week ☺️

Sill this nagging low right sided pain for me, the side where I ovulated. It’s nothing debilitating and not as strong as af cramps, it’s more like a needly sensation. Hopefully it leads to something later this week …! 🤞🏼

hey both, still very early ! I’ve got fingers and toes crossed ! 🤞🏼
@NatalieSFnausea can be a symptoms of progesterone rising in that stage of the cycle !
when I had my chemical pregnancy the pre mom strips caught it so I guess they are sensitive !

NatalieSF · 21/07/2025 11:26

I also caved and tested today at 9dpo and got a bfn like expected. Been nauseous all morning but assuming it's not related as surely if I had hcg to cause nausea I'd have hcg for a bfp 🤣 just using premom tests are fr any better? I know premom are 10mlu so is it worth me purchasing a fr?

lalalalalala2024 · 21/07/2025 11:11

@WF1990I caved and tested today ( 8dpo ) not sure why I did it, Ive been so adamant about Friday but I watched a tiktok video and someone got a faint line at 8dpo on the evening 😂. I have ordered some First response tests and they come on Wednesday so I could possibly test Wednesday evening at 10dpo when I’m home in the evening.

Morning girls,
6 DPO over here, the first week is almost over and I’ll be glad to see it go because it dragged !
not many symptoms, boobs a bit fuller, fully in line with the traditional luteal phase symptoms for me lol.
AF due on Saturday, but I’ll test on Friday which will be 10 dpo…!
how is everybody feeling ?

@EmPeEfhonestly you’re brave and also this is such a good decision ! I hope it does turn into a conscious being (cf Schrödinger 🥲) sending the luckiest vibes your way!!

WF1990 · 20/07/2025 08:40

@EmPeEfthats interesting !!! When are you planning on testing ? 👀

Had maybe faint lines yesterday but I’ve decided I’m not going to test again for a number of days. Bored of looking at squinters so I’m just going to enjoy schrodinger’s pregnancy 😂

Lh4503 · 20/07/2025 20:44

@WF1990 Ahhh I hope it's a BFP for you both!! 😊🤞

Lh4503 · 20/07/2025 20:34

@WF1990 yeah i know what you mean, at this stage your so aware of every little twinge and cramp aren't you. I do think we both had it more like 10dpo but implantation can happen at 6dpo? 🤞

Thank you girl, I'm okay ❤️ xxx

WF1990 · 20/07/2025 20:22

Awww thanks for the feedback @Lh4503i feel like I am a bit too early though ! I would have my hopes shooting through the roof if I was 8/9 dpo 😅
take care of yourself 🫶🏽 I hope AF is bearable .. xxxx

Lh4503 · 20/07/2025 20:21

@WF1990 I dont want to get your hopes up but the month I got preI had a sharp feeling like that on one area too and my sister said she did. It was sharp enough to be like ooooh! And the CM sounds promising too! 🤞🤞🤞 keeping everything crossed for you.

@lalalalalala2024 Thank you so much ❤️ yeah it's been a tough one this month, im off to center parcs tomorrow tho so im taking some time to relax and reset and hopefully get back in the right head space for next month.

@lalalalalala2024how many dpo are you again ?? I hope it’s good sign for both of us! I usually get cramping but not that type… but then again I could be Delulu 😂😂😂😂

OP posts:
lalalalalala2024 · 20/07/2025 19:50

@WF1990I have also had dull cramps but I’m 100% positive this happens monthly 😂 however I have definitely had an increase of CM so hoping that is a good sign.

lalalalalala2024 · 20/07/2025 19:49

@Lh4503sending you all the luck in the world for next month ❤️ It’s so hard when you already have a dc and they are desperate to have a sibling

Hi ladies, waffling over
here but I’m having prickling / needly cramps sensations on the right side of my uterus and a slight increase in creamy cm. This might not mean anything but it was enough for me to notice and sit down.
I don’t think it could be implantation though as I am 5/6 dpo. Way too early I think …!
how is everybody feeling ?
