1/2dpo

[Jessiemay2020]

Hi,
New on here! I have 2 children from a previous relationship and currently on cycle number 3 of TTC.
Pretty sure I'm 1dpo today, cycles are usually around 31 days. AF due on the 24th! Anyone else around the same dpo and want to chat?

[Kangaroo77]

@Jessiemay2020 I know I'm the same. Hard not to get your hopes.

@Suki2020 looks ace. I feel nauseas today too. First time in a while for me. I'm 8dpo too. Xx

[Suki2020]

@Kangaroo77 do you have any other symptoms? I feel different but can’t explain it. Yesterday I felt rubbish, sick, tired, moody and today I feel fine again. Don’t know if it’s my head playing tricks on me.

[Jessiemay2020]

@suki2020 ooh that's interesting!! I hope it's a good sign for you!
I'm 8dpo today. Just been speaking to partner when to test. I am due on Friday, he's saying to wait until Friday but it's a horrible wait, I have 1 frer test and I'm desperate to use it before Friday! I know it's too early though ugh 🙄

[Kangaroo77]

I've got a few symptoms today after days of none. I feel nausea today which is new. I've had some period style af twinges and cramps but I'm not due on for another week and my nipples hurt a bit. Tbh I feel a bit off. Having been pregnant a few months ago these symptoms remind me of things I noticed back then. However it could be nothing.

[Kangaroo77]

@Jessiemay2020 can you get a small box of amazon cheapie strips delivered 😄?

[Suki2020]

@jessiemay2020 me too. How you feeling? I would hold out as long as you can to test but i know it’s hard. One app says my period is due Sunday and other app says next Thursday! The app that says Thursday has a longer record though. I can have a longish luteal it’s between 14-17days

[Jessiemay2020]

@kangaroo77 ooh that is exciting. I really hope this is your month!!
Hmm yes I could do actually. It's his birthday next Tues and I'm so hoping it's happened so I can give him a positive test on the day! I might get a couple when I next go tescos and use the frer weds or Thursday... I'm confused how they an detect up to 6 days before AF is due if you haven't even implanted at that point! Who knows 😂 I might do it Wednesday though and most probably regret doing it, as per! 😂

Morning ladies, sounds like lots of positive symptoms - let's hope it's a lucky week for us! AF is due between Thursday (according to Flo) and Saturday (according to femometer) for me - no new symptoms for me, still bloated and sore boobs but nothing else really! (Apart from tiredness but that's my life these days since DD decided to hate sleep during lockdown)

I think we're all being quite restrained not testing early actually! I've tested from 8dpo before 🙈

[Jessiemay2020]

@suki2020 i feel quite negative really, just in general though, it could be the current situation we are all going through or the mad couple of days we've had. I keep getting my hopes up with things I feel and then I try and remind myself it could be either. I thought I felt a bit sicky this morning but then I have to ask myself is it in my head!? It's bloody horrible isn't it! How are you today?

[Jessiemay2020]

@whambam89 I'm confused when AF is due. It was originally due on Friday... According to my fitbit app. Then when I updated I had a positive ov test it changed it to Sunday but the last 2 cycles have been bang on to the first given date so I think I'm going to say I'm due Friday 🤔😂 the more twinges and period pains I get I link it to AF though the closer it gets.

[whambam89]

@suki2020 I've never temped but from what I've seen that looks like a promising graph! Fingers crossed for you, when will you test?

[whambam89]

@jessiemay2020 that's what happened to me too - I've always just tracked through Flo and it's generally been quite accurate as to when AF would arrive. First month using femometer and I'm guessing that Saturday is based on when I inputted a positive opk!

[Jessiemay2020]

@whambam89 it gets confusing doesn't it!? I think I'll go by Friday seeing as it was my first month using ovulation tests and that the last 2 months I was no wiser and it was bang on with those.
Another thing I've noticed this month is I'm completely dry with regards to cm. Which probably isn't a good thing as usually you get increased cm but last month I remember having quite a lot and AF turned up so with it being different to last month I feel a bit of hope there!

[Suki2020]

@jessiemay2020 I know it’s hard, but it will happen whether it’s this month or another month. I’ve been waiting over 2yrs and I find it hard but I know one day it will happen. Mind you that’s my opinion today it might be different tomorrow lol.

@whambam89 thank you. Do you just use OPK’s? I won’t test until at least Saturday. I hope I can wait that long though lol. I’ll be 13dpo then

[Jessiemay2020]

@suki2020 no, I completely agree! I remember the torture with my little girl, 2 and a half years of doing this every month and for what? Only to cause myself heartbreak. It's just so hard isn't it.

[Spinningthewheel]

8dpo here and no real symptoms. I have felt my pulse beating really hard in my neck at night and had a bit of tinnitus, but I think I’m just paying too much attention to everything. Still, AF not due until Sunday so symptom spotting helps pass the time!

[whambam89]

@jessiemay2020 first month for me using them as well so I think I'll do the same! Maybe I'll test Friday if AF hasn't arrived

[whambam89]

@suki2020 it's my first month using OPKs, historically I've just tracked on the flo app and that's usually been pretty accurate. Think there will be a lot of us (if we manage to wait) testing this weekend - let's hope there's lots of bfps!

[Jessiemay2020]

@whambam89 I'm going to try and hang on till Friday then eeek nerve wrecking and exciting!

[MrsLA88]

I'm not due till Sunday and I don't have any tests so I'm going to have to wait until Saturday to get some! (Or I'll at least try lol)

[Jessiemay2020]

@mrsLA88 that is a good idea! I tell myself every month I won't buy any but I end up doing it. If I haven't caught this month I think I'm going to give myself a break with the trying. Just going on from when trying for my daughter it must really help to relax and not have that stress of counting dpo or even tracking ovulation. Just regular, enjoyable sex and relax! Whether I actually do or not who knows 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[Suki2020]

@Kangaroo77 that all sounds promising for you especially if your felt similar is your last pregnancy. Fingers crossed for you.

[whambam89]

I've got no tests in either, definitely helps you to resist temptation!

I've had some spotting this afternoon so AF is either on her way very early or it's implantation. The blood is pink so not feeling hopeful :(

[MrsLA88]

It's so hard isn't it because I go from if I don't try it will happen but then if I don't do it at the right time it won't happen 😂 I've not tracked my temp although I bought a thermometer as I know I'd obsess over it so I stick to opks and that's it and my app which tbf I love because over time I can see patterns.

[Jessiemay2020]

@whambam89 ooh I really hope it's implantation!!! Any changes since your last message? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you lovely xx
@mrsLA88 literally story of my life! You can't win either way can you, you try and you get obsessed, you don't try and you get obsessed 😂😂😂

So I've felt one pinch above pubic bone about 10 mins ago, just the one though. I've had period pains all day and my pants have just felt wet, sorry tmi. No discharge really other than the wet feeling. We were picking the new car up and I was bursting for a wee by the time we were half way home so whether it was that, I don't know. Just had a bath and put some clean knickers on so will see what they're like in half an hour or so. Isn't being a woman just fab 🙄😂
