So I'm not due to ovulate for 2 more days but according to my Cm I probably ovulated yesterday (2nd month in a row I ovulated early) last month I missed ov because I started dtd after I think I ovulated whereas this month I started a week previous which ended up only being a couple days before!! So I think I'm about 1dpo and starting the tww!! Anyone fancy joining?

Merry Christmas to all! 🎁🌲

Ps I'm going to test on the 3rd because I have literally no willpower and that will be 10dpo so if anyone is with me jump onboard!! 😘

I'm 8DPO will be testing New Year's Day! Baby dust to everyone

Daisy726 · 26/12/2018 07:17

Hello, completely new to this and also 8DPO I think! What are your symptoms? I’ve been feeling sick since last Tuesday, really tired, swollen breasts. I thought it would be too soon to feel symptoms but people seem to be saying otherwise!

Wishing you luck for NYE! I’m going to test a few days before, I can’t wait that long!

thejollytrolleydolly · 26/12/2018 10:20

@Ashleigh95 @Daisy726 welcome! You guys are a bit further along than me, well done for holding off testing! I always cave by about 9dpo!!

Fx for you both and let us know how you get on!

Happy Boxing Day xx

I'm 5dpo (according to app but feel like I ovulated earlier??). Had sore boobs bit calmed down now. Took us a long time to concieve DC1 and have PCOS so we'll see!

thejollytrolleydolly · 26/12/2018 19:17

Hi @workinprogressmum 😁 when do you think you will test then? I can never wait I always end up testing from around day 7! Stupid I know!

I thought I had ovulated early as I had a couple of days ewcm then it stopped yesterday altogether... then today it's come back! I don't know what to think 🙈

thosethreewords · 26/12/2018 23:03

@thejollytrolleydolly I'm also 2DPO! Going to try and hold out until 6th January if I can (I would try and wait longer but my best friend is coming to stay and she will definitely want wine if I can have it!)

thejollytrolleydolly · 27/12/2018 14:17

@thosethreewords yeah probably best to test first! Would you tell her if it was positive? I would be tempted to tell everyone even though I know it's not the best idea until you're in the clear zone!!

We will be testing buddies then 😊 we can symptom spot together x

OP posts:
thosethreewords · 27/12/2018 14:24

@thejollytrolleydolly yes we can! I would like that 😊 I won't plan to tell anyone else but it just so happened that the day my best friend found out she was pregnant with her DD, I was meeting her in London for a weekend away! And she had to tell me because we were going for a meal and drinks. We stayed up most of the night chatting about her BFP and it's one of my favourite memories of us together.
So because of that I think I probably would tell her!

WildFlower2019 · 27/12/2018 20:09

Hello, I'd love to join. I love seeing people get positives on these threads! And symptom spotting together!!

I think I'm either one or two days PO, but I'm not entirely sure 😁

24th - negative OPK at 9pm
25th - positive OPK at 2pm.
26th - only just negative (but still v dark) OPK by 10am
27th - day my app originally predicted I'd ovulate

So all my apps now saying I ovulated on the 25th-26th.

I really WANT to test on NYE or NYD to have a bit of that new year's magic but I'll only be 6-7 days PO 🤣 and something like 8-9 days before my period is due, so definitely too early even with a FRER!!!

Dunno if that'll stop me tho 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm pretty is ridiculous. Unless I avoid ordering them... might be the sensible option 😁 😂

Daisy726 · 27/12/2018 20:26

Hi @wildflower2019 I’ve been trying to resist doing the same! Tested today and BFN, I’m not exactly sure of how many days PO I am but it’s around 8. My AF is due 4th Jan so I’m going to try and hold off until NYE to do an early test. Although disappointingly all of my symptoms have disappeared so I’m not holding out much hope Confused. Best of luck xxx

Mamabear12 · 27/12/2018 21:07

My only symptom is feeling extra bloated. But I fear this could also be PMs as well.

thosethreewords · 27/12/2018 23:31

How many DPO could we start to get any symptoms?

thosethreewords · 27/12/2018 23:38

@WildFlower2019 also I definitely had a little amazon search for pregnancy tests and put a load in my basket 😂 my DH has prime but I don't, so if I wait and order on my account I won't have the tests for a while!

thejollytrolleydolly · 28/12/2018 00:20

@thosethreewords that's absolutely lovely! I think I would tell my bf as soon as I knew tbf!! And it's lovely that she told you! I think you can tell your bestie always ❤️

@WildFlower2019 don't waste a frer!! That s£&! Is expensive!! If anything get some ics and test early with them. The earliest you are going to know is 9/10dpo but may be later!!

@Daisy726 if you're due af 4th of jan then by all means test nye as that will be 10dpo and usually you will get a result (if faint) on that day! (Let us know)

@Mamabear12 do you know how many dpo you are? Bloated is a good sign xxx

@thejollytrolleydolly, I got a static smile on the 18th. We dtd 17th. I’m thinking I ovulated 18 or 19th. I tested yesterday and negative. However, it was w a clear blue which is not good detecting early for me. I will try first response today if it comes. I am actually starting to wonder if I could possibly be pregnant! My spotting has not appeared. If it doesn’t appear by end of day I will think for sure I must be. But I guess also I should know the body likes to play tricks on you when ttc. A couple of cycles my spotting started 5 days early and was so minuscule I convinced myself it was implantation bleeding.

And btw I read above you think you dtd after you ovulated, I think we have done this a couple of times too. Basically, when we got the static we would dtd the next day lol. Not exactly the best time. But this time I decided to tell my partner it was time days a ahead bc I knew he would probably delay a day or two (or maybe I would as I have done in past). We kept delaying two days from the day I knew we should dtd for best chance. This is the first cycle we actually tried when I thought is best time (one day before static smile appears). Unfortunately, we only manage to try once when we do try as we find it impossible for finding time w one child in the bed most of the time. One or two nights a month I manage to get them to sleep in their own rooms! They also now stay up until 9! And we are exhausted by 10 so that leaves us one hour time slot once a month! Really hoping it’s worked this month. What is your plan? Do you dtd every other day a few days before you ovulate? If I could that is what I would do. For example from day 9 I would dtd every other day until day after ovulation. I’ve also been taking vitamins. But feeling bad the last week I’ve been drinking wine every day (2 glasses). Impossible not to during the festive season. But I assume a lot of people drink with out knowing they are pregnant before missed period. I did with the first one and even smoked cigarettes (obviously stopped when period was late and thought I might be pregnant).

Daisy726 · 28/12/2018 08:27

@mamabear12 hi it sounds like we’re exactly the same on timing. I’ve just tested this morning (knew I’d cave again) but another BFN. I’ve got mild cramps and very emotional these past couple of days. Keep us posted xx

Needadoughnut · 28/12/2018 08:33

I'm between 3-5dpo so new years would be 7-9dpo definitely too early to test.

Mamabear12 · 28/12/2018 09:32

@Daisy726, when is you period due? Mine is 30th. I keep checking for spotting. Can’t believe it’s finally almost due! The 2 ww always feels like forever at the start.

thejollytrolleydolly · 28/12/2018 09:36

@Mamabear12 well we started dtd every other day before ov and throughout and after just incase I didn't ov when I thought I did. I guess it's a bit easier for us as there's only us in the house! Bless you it must be tough trying to time your bd around getting the kids to bed!! I had ewcm for a good 5 days this month which is a long time for me as I usually only get it for 2 so I've just been dtd all throughout. Hopefully that does the trick!

Yeah I've been trying to not drink as much as poss but it's tough when it's Christmas!! I've already told everyone I'm doing dry jan so good excuse for me!! ❤️ fx for everyone and I hope this is a lucky thread!! X

OP posts:
Daisy726 · 28/12/2018 09:37

Mamabear12 oh I’m due on the 4th! Eeeek wishing you so much luck!! I know, I’ve spent so many hours on these forums in the past week, it’s bordering obsessive xx

thejollytrolleydolly · 28/12/2018 09:40

@Needadoughnut yes me too, probably going to test around 5th for a sure answer xx

OP posts:
Needadoughnut · 28/12/2018 10:12

Jolly this month I've decided to not test unless I'm late or I definitely get implantation bleeding.

Mamabear12 · 28/12/2018 10:29

@thejollytrolleydolly, do you use ovulation sticks to help predict?

Mamabear12 · 28/12/2018 12:09

Well, I tested and got a negative. But period not due until 30th...wish I would stop thinking so much about it. One moment I think I might be and the next I’m think I guess I must not be! It’s a big roller coaster ride. Up and down. Still feeling bloated. Wondering if it’s the period from hell coming!
