Hey all!
Ttc baby number 2, second month trying - had a chemical pregnancy last cycle :(
Anyways I'm 2DPO! Would love to symptom share and see if anyone else is ttc around the same time as me! :)

Hi @Libt!

Sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy last month-hopefully this month will be your month.

I’m hopeful that I’m currently 3/4 dpo. I don’t temp and have PCOS so hoping it’s not an anovulatory cycle. It’s our first month ttc so will definitely be temping from next month!

Symptom wise are you having anything?!

somanystars · 10/08/2020 18:37

Sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm, I guess, 0DPO? 🤣 Fairly sure I'm ovulating today or tomorrow at the latest so no symptom spotting quite yet but not too far out in dates from you. Cycle 1 trying for #1!

Do you know when you plan to test?

MoonlightMusings · 10/08/2020 22:58

Hey 👋 i’m 5dpo first month of ttc number 3 (my current partner has no children so his first ttc rollercoaster)

somanystars · 11/08/2020 09:55

Now 1DPO! Exciting! 😊

Can I ask - does anyone get any distinct ovulation symptoms?

I found that yesterday I had sore nipples (which started late the night before and which I know from the last two cycles will last more or less up until AF, if it comes), a headache bad enough to need painkillers, a decent bit of bloating, and also I was a bit narky and short tempered. Also - my chin/jawline is covered in spots! Pretty rude as my skin has mostly been great since coming off the implant.

I've also felt any number of twingey, crampy type feelings but nothing I could really put my finger on, think I'm just paying too much attention to what's going on down there 🤣

Libt · 11/08/2020 12:35

Hey ladies!! It's so lovely to hear from you all!
How is everyone feeling today?
I'm now 3DPO! No distinct symptoms just feel a bit bloated and butterfly like feeling in tummy but I'm sure that's nerves about it all hahaha.

I plan to test the day of my missed period (if it's missed) as last month I early tested and it's just a stressful experience isn't it! Especially with mine ending up being chemical :(

How's everyone getting on ttc!?

Hello everyone,
Yesterday was my peak so maybe 0 dpo today. Symptoms wise I always had lower abdomen pain on ovulation day and I wonder why no pain this time, but I had nausea and bloating.
This is my 4th cycle TTC for #1 after my MMC in april first week

MummyOfZog · 11/08/2020 13:12

I think I ovulated yesterday (+OPK late the night before, bit of a temp rise this morning) so I think I'm 1DPO today. Some cycles I've had cramping around ovulation, but nothing of note this time...although I always get severe bloating and had that last night (I looked 6 months pregnant...if only!!). I have a shorter luteal phase, so AF is due 22nd Aug.

somanystars · 11/08/2020 14:40

@Libt @Shinea @MummyOfZog Glad you all mentioned bloating, I'm possibly even more bloated today and quite uncomfortable with it too! I've no idea if this is normal for me but obviously it's far too early for it to be a symptom anyway.

My AF is due 22nd Aug too! Although I read somewhere that your luteal phase can be a bit short the first couple of months off hormonal BC and then get longer, so wondering if that might happen as it's been two months for me. Kinda hoping it does as my luteal phase is a bit on the short side, kinda hoping it doesn't because I know I'd be pretty upset if I got excited about AF being late and then it showed up!

octobersky19 · 11/08/2020 14:45

Hi, can I join? I'm 3dpo today

Had twinges on my right side and pelvic area I. General, insomnia, dizzy feeling and constant peeing.

Way to soon to have these symptoms, I'm definitely getting my hopes up!! I can't wait to POAS

somanystars · 11/08/2020 14:49

@octobersky19 Hi! :) Actually you've reminded me I had a really weird dizzy spell about half an hour ago, I was just sitting down and it felt like the world suddenly tilted! Only lasted a couple of seconds though and as I've mentioned I'm only 1DPO so it probably wasn't a symptom of anything, just one of these things that feels much more prominent now that I'm TTC!

Is the constant peeing thing a sign of ovulation or happen soon after it or something? Bc I was having that the other day as well 🤔

(I'm going to be such a nightmare as the TWW progresses haha 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Libt · 11/08/2020 23:16

Hey all!
No one feel guilty for being a symptom spotter! It's what we are here for! Lol

I'm 3DPO, I've had light cramping today! Not sure if it really means anything, after last month I'm trying to never get my hopes up!
But (sorry if tmi) considering me and my partner have dtd 7 times in 8 days, I'm super hopeful😅😂

I have heard that ovulation/early pregnancy signs can feel similar to pms which In My experience is true!

Hi everyone.

Hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m around 6DPO now and the TWW is killing me. I had a MC in June and this is my first cycle since. Yesterday at work I was getting cramps and lots of white discharge. this morning I’m having a bit of a twinge too. I’m really hoping this is a good sign. Trying not to get my hopes up but I can’t help it.

Good luck to everyone for this month!! X

FxBB2020 · 12/08/2020 10:03

Hi girls- how is everyone getting on?
I'm really on edge today as think I may have acctually just ovulated this morning..I thought I was 5dpo as had ewcm and what seemed to be a positive opk on cd25/26...I'm now CD 32 and had a lot of ovulation like pain this morning on my right side! Fuming as we had dtd probably 20 times this cycle (sorry major TMI) but stopped on CD 28 as I thought I had passed my fertile window!! I guess with pcos you just never know ...

How is the tww going for you all? Welcome to @Sohe and sorry to hear about your recent MC. Hopefully the symptoms you are having are good signs for this month.

MummyOfZog · 12/08/2020 13:58

Well I thought I was 1DPO yesterday, but had a big temp drop today and loads of EWCM so I'm not sure if perhaps I haven't yet. Ended up DTD today too just in case, but this fertile week has been LOOOONNNG so I am kind of hoping I'll know I've ovulated tomorrow as I don't think I can manage another day!

Muda · 12/08/2020 14:10

Hi everyone, I think I am ovulating today if not it’s a day or two either side- I’m Not tracking ovulation this month just trying to dtd as much as possible. Ttc #1 had an early miscarriage May and this is cycle #10.

Sohe · 12/08/2020 17:39

Well I’m around 6DPO and the cramps have been worse today then yesterday, and lots of white CM again! Don’t really know what to make of it x

Libt · 12/08/2020 20:34

Seems like a lot of us have been cramping and are around similar dpo's!! According to my app 'Flo' today is my last 'chance to get pregnant' so I'm going to try it on with partner later ;) a hahahaha. Worth a try!!!
The waiting part KILLS me, I hate the TWW!!
I'm going to try to do no early testing and wait until the 22nd (expected period date) to test if I don't come on!
Easier said than done of course😅😂

Hope everyone's okay!

octobersky19 · 12/08/2020 21:31

I still have 9 days till I can start testing, I'm trying so hard to stay positive and symptom spotting hard haha

RMarieClaire · 12/08/2020 22:32

Hi guys. I'm a bit behind - should ovulate today or tomorrow - but would love a team to help me resist testing early. I tested early last month and it was awful, because I then had a long cycle - 45 days - and the wait for AF to come so we could start again was awful.

RMarieClaire · 12/08/2020 22:35

@FxBB2020 - could that be implantation pain? I've never had ovulation pain but know implantation can cause pain and bleeding 🤷‍♀️

somanystars · 12/08/2020 22:50

I'm only 2DPO but feeling crampy also, like in my lower back and a bit in my legs too. Most likely to be because I went for a longish walk around town today but I mentioned it while watching TV earlier and of course my husband was like "early pregnancy!" 🤣 Had to tell him it's definitely too early for that while secretly also hoping that's somehow what it is 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm also feeling a bit sniffly and my nose is a bit blocked up which I know can be another early sign, but not as early as 2DPO surely!

I did notice a fair amount of EWCM earlier today as well though which I thought would have dried up by now 🤔

I'm also due to test on the 22nd, if I make it that far!

Lemondropsandgumdrops · 12/08/2020 23:27

Hi! I’m 5DPO. For the first time ever I felt/had pains at ovulation. I had a miscarriage on the 20th May, but it was complicated and I bled for 72 days straight. The bleeding finally stopped and then about a week ago I felt really crampy so came home and took an OPK and I’d been temping anyway and got a decent rise the following day and it’s stayed up since so really hoping this is all good signs. We’d DTD for the 2 days before I got a positive OPK anyway and then did for the following 2 so I am hoping beyond hope that we’ll get a BFP soon! My only issue is I never had a period after the miscarriage so I’ve no idea what the midwife will do about dating (she’s very old school and insists on it being dated by LMP, even though my pregnancy with my daughter I informed her I have long cycles and knew exactly when I’d conceived. She still sent me for my ‘12’ week scan 3 weeks early so I had to repeat it!

Sorry I’m rambling on a bit now! I’m trying so hard not to symptom spot but it’s impossible not to! I have a 19 month old and my first symptoms with her were I felt SO hot and sweaty, which doesn’t help when it’s 34 degrees outside and I’m probably just hot and sweaty because it’s actually hot 🤦🏻‍♀️

somanystars · 13/08/2020 08:47

@Lemondropsandgumdrops Hi! So sorry to hear about your loss.

Hmm, is there any way you could request a new midwife, or something? I have no idea how it all works so don't know if this is something that can be done but that doesn't sound like the most positive experience!

I'm already on to the symptom spotting at 3DPO - it actually kind of helps to know that you can still be doing it even after you've had a child before and know roughly what to expect 🤣 When did you find you noticed the hot and sweatiness? I'm in Scotland where frankly it's rare I feel like that lol so it might be easier to spot!

Lemondropsandgumdrops · 13/08/2020 11:17

@somanystars thank you Flowers

The midwife is actually okay, I get on fairly well with her otherwise and I work with her professionally as well as personally (I work in children’s services so sometimes we have cases that cross over). It’s just she’s so convinced about the dating thing, and with my daughter she sent me early and the ultrasound lady was really funny with me about it as I said when I arrived I was only 9 weeks not 12.

Oh yeah I definitely still symptom spot! I think I was about 7/8DPO first time when I noticed it, and it was in April that I conceived with my daughter so definitely wasn’t this hot outside!

somanystars · 13/08/2020 11:25

@Lemondropsandgumdrops Oh if it's only the dating issue that's not so bad. Still strange, but I suppose no harm done.

I'm finding that I'm wishing the time away a little bit to get to like 5-7DPO where symptoms might actually be symptoms! It's a stressful business 🤣
