I'm 2dpo today Smile AF/BFP due 7th Feb. Probably going to test around 11/12dpo though!

littletandme · 26/01/2020 16:59

Sorry just realised I thought you meant first cycle! I'm TTC our second.

Ylladyoll · 26/01/2020 17:22

I'm 3dpo :)

RMusic12 · 26/01/2020 17:42

Exciting times I'm 1DPO!

Came off the pill in October last year, finally took a period! Body back to normal.
Using preseed and tracking, so 1 dpo.

Ah I want it so much but need to be patient xx

I already have a teenager but this is my first time actually trying (quite a bit older now 😄) So all new to me too.

I'm 2dpo and looking like I'm stalking @littletandme haha. We're deffo on this journey together 😄

Ylladyoll · 26/01/2020 18:38

I misread, have 3 children already but since youngest is 15 it definitely feels new, never had to ttc before each of my children was conceived just on one bd each, been trying since october, seems to be not so easy now, I'm 44 in April xx

Hi all, I’ve just joined as I’m TTC for my first baby and this is my first month trying. My next period is due 8th Feb so will be testing around then. I’ve just started all this so not sure if I can test earlier? Good luck to you all :)

RMusic12 · 26/01/2020 22:50

Hey @karenkeys I think you can test 4/5 days before your period is due. There are some tests that pick up, ... I think from what I've read like maybe first response?

OP posts:
karenkeys · 26/01/2020 22:55

Thanks @RMusic12, I’ll have a look and find one of the more sensitive ones and give it a go a few days early. I’ve never done a test as I’ve never had any accidents or been more than a few days late enough, so it’s all new to me. When are you planning to test?

RMusic12 · 27/01/2020 14:15

I am 2dpo which I know is very early but last night I had severe heartburn that a glass of milk would not calm. I never get heartburn.

I slept until 11am yesterday, I get up at 8am.

Today I've phoned in sick at work as I feel like I have the flu, slept again until 11am. I feel so run down.

Don't know if I am just run down as it may be too early. But wanted to see if other girls felt like this?

I feel so awful headache and soo soo tired

I’ve not had any symptoms so far other than some mild headaches but I’m putting that down to caffeine withdrawal as I recently cut coffee out of my mornings in preparation.

Any heartburn I’ve had in the past has always been caused by classes of wine (too acidic) at the weekends which have stopped too so if anything I’m getting less of that now! If it’s not normal for you though it could be a sign.

Been off pill since August 1st .

First time TTC , wish I had started sooner.

Not using Opk's , just using the period tracker apps , want to give it a wee while before I go down that route.

Due AF 6/7th of February . Wish this TWW was over already .

YellowFlower22 · 27/01/2020 16:49

Hey, TTC 2nd month of trying..5dpo. Days are dragging!!!!

Morgane777 · 27/01/2020 22:44

Hi there,
I'm 4 DPO! 6th month trying!

RMusic12 · 28/01/2020 12:19

I am currently 3dpo and I feel so nauseous, I'm off work again as i feel awful. Achy, like I have a flu, so tired too.

But I've read in some posts it's impossible to feel symptoms so early but then I've read that some woman have felt symptoms so early

😞

OP posts:
Ylladyoll · 28/01/2020 12:38

It's hard to know but people are more sensitive

RMusic12 · 28/01/2020 17:56

I'm starting to think I've miss calculated my days... heartburn has returned, I feel light headed and I'm so exhausted 😔

Never felt like this before xx

OP posts:
karenkeys · 28/01/2020 18:17

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling good @RMusic12. My nose has been a bit stuffed up today and yesterday but I might just have a cold on the way. Otherwise no symptoms. I think it’s making it easier for me as I don’t feel like I’m pregnant yet so I won’t be too surprised if it’s negative when I test late next week.

RMusic12 · 28/01/2020 18:25

@karenkeys you never know xxx

RMusic12 · 29/01/2020 22:37

4dpo today and this morning I woke up to sharp twinges in my stomach.

And I've had a complete breakout on my face!! My skin has been clear for months! And now it's a mess and very sore 😡

OP posts:
wannabeadored · 30/01/2020 10:45

Could barely sleep last night , kept getting sharp pains .

Tried to feel my cervix position but it's too high to properly reach.

I wish the TWW was over already !

karenkeys · 30/01/2020 12:37

How long are you planning to wait to test? I can’t decide whether to wait until I’m due next weekend (7-8th) or go for mid week next week incase I can find out sooner.

I still have no symptoms really. I’m tired and have had a stuffy nose for days but I don’t sleep much on week days and I’m off caffeine so the tiredness could easily be down to that.

Hopefully all your symptoms are for a good reason!

RMusic12 · 30/01/2020 12:45

I was going to test 8dpo although I know can still be early.

Currently 5dpo,
Nausea, tired all the time. Off work the now.

Woke up with a sharp pain in my lower back this morning was horrible.

My face has completely broken out.

Been reading it's not possible to get symptoms 5dpo but also read people have experienced it.

I'm also in tune with my body, and I feel so off.

When you testing?

Hi, I hope you don't mind if I join. Been reading these forums for weeks and have been too scared to join in on one. This is our first time trying for a baby. I was on the Depo injection for about 3 years and then I moved onto the mini pill about 9 months ago. I stopped taking the mini pill on 28th December and on the 16th January I had a withdrawal bleed for about 4 days and it was very very light.

I am incredibly impatient so I have bought OPKs in the hope of understanding my cycle better and quicker. I am CD15 today and have been using the OPKs since CD10 and they are not getting any darker just staying the same or getting lighter. My app says I was due to ovulate yesterday but pretty sure I didn't :/ this whole TTC thing is confusing as hell! Ahahaha is anyone else having trouble working out their ovulation date?

RMusic12 · 30/01/2020 15:23

Hey @linz5678 what app are you using? Xx
