2 DPO - anyone with me?

[BigLucy]

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to see if anyone was starting their 2WW?

I had positive OPK's Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning and BD'd a lot!

Also does anyone wear a fit bit and noticed a different with their heart rate during the 2WW? Xx

@somanystars yeah i am pretty regular, but not been tracking everything as much as I am now! Oh possibly! It took me 3-4 months to feel like they were regular!

But I feel like you too.. having to tell myself to calm the heck down 😂😂 i had a right craving for roasties today, so i made them for dinner and thought craving? 🤔🤔 then i was like no girl calm down your just greedy 😂😂

@JazzyJade I stopped taking the pill in June and we started TTC August so hopefully things should be levelling out for me soon! I do feel like my periods are much shorter and less painful now than they were before I was on contraception so I'm bracing myself for that to come back 😬

Hahaha I feel that! I keep noticing smells and being like, heightened sense of smell? 🤔 Isn't it funny how the TWW does this to us 🤣

@somanystars yes my friend also said this was her first sign! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@BigLucy thanks for the response and information, I am really thinking the 1% morphology is why it's taking us so long, I just hope we can improve it and not have to go to ivf 😫 I bet you couldn't believe your BFP after 2.5 years.

@dogmam very interesting about RHR, I think I'll charge my Fitbit up and start wearing it to see if I notice a trend

Wishing everyone luck in the TWW!!

@Ashleighz88 Ohh it does sound quite positive then! 4DPO now and they're feeling even sorer this morning 😅 Plus my husband looked at them yesterday and was like "they're huge????" but I can't really see a difference haha 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi all, can I join?

I'm 6 or 7 DPO today, been TTC for a long time, some fertility issues but been reassured we can still conceive naturally.

Just posted a thread about implantation pain; was woken last night with an intense and strange cramp, so now I'm wondering if implantation symptoms are a real thing!

Ok guys, heres a debi downer thing I found on google... apparently the hormone progesterone is responsible for all symptoms, pregnant or not and that apparently there was no diff in symptoms up to 10dpo for someone pregnant and someone not!!?? Fuuuuuuuu 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

HOWEVER!! obviously they are symptoms if someone pregnant DID have them 😜😜 so im sticking with this part of the fact 🤣🤣

Anything I feel today im gonna tell myself its just hormones because I keep thinking this is so diff to other cycles but iv been tricked before 😥

@somanystars whaat, my cramps were non existent with the pill, now they are full bloody force!

Omg me too! My partner is a smoker, only smokes outside the house and not around me.. he was in the bathroom, i went in after and was literally like "DID YOU SMOKE IN THE BATHROOM?!" He crapped himself 😂😂 said no, it literally smelt like he had a cig in the bathroom and my mind was then like okay hmmm 😂 but i'm really going to try and not watch the symptoms, because my mind is definitely going to play tricks!

Hello @YellowNotRed ☺️ fingers crossed for you!!

@Tipptopgirl it's funny how when we read about symptoms we think nahh it's nothing, minds playing tricks but when it's negative and telling us no we say no it's pregnancy symptoms 😂

@JazzyJade Yeah I mean before the pill and implant the cramps were really bad, when I was on BC they weren't bad and now I'm off it they still haven't got as bad as they used to be... but I'm worried they will 😅

It's so hard to know when you're on the lookout for everything!!

Also, totally off topic but is anyone else noticing Mumsnet seems to be sort of malfunctioning?? I'm finding it's loading reaaalllly slowly, sometimes not at all and also when I scroll down the conception forum is full of posts from like the building/construct forum?? When you click them it says they're under construction, but they're showing up in conception. I noticed it yesterday and it's still happening today. Surely that's not just me?? 🤣

Ok girls is anyone cervix checking?? So from when i think I o'd im 6dpo and today my cervix has felt open!? My LH is usually 11 days minimum! Im so confused. 😩
CM is creamy, thinner than yesterday and there was a small glob of sticky... so im not fertile!

@BigLucy that's interesting to know. I worry that time is starting to not be on our side and if we should just continue to pursue specialist help rather than keep hoping to conceive naturally after 16 months of disappointment.

Hope everyone is well & ready for the weekend ☺️✨

@somanystars my mumsnet is all good!

@Tipptopgirl what do you use to track ovulation?

I’m literally clueless to that for I wouldnt know what to look for! 😂

@Unicornsparklez sorry to hear about all the trouble it’s been for you so far!
Hope you have a lovely weekend too! 💞

7dpo for me, no symptoms other than needing to pee contstantly but it'd be way too soon for that anyway.

Headaches and a tooth abscess :( I must be run down!

Not testing early this month because last month absolutely floored me because I convinced myself I was, also spent about £50 on tests.

AF is due the day after my birthday ggrrr, when I had plans for afternoon tea that day.. but lots of things taking my mind off of the TTW and keeping me busy.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and fingers crossed for next week, sounds like we will have quite a few testing next week 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Unicornsparklez you are not alone, I know how you feel. Keep your head up and keep trying naturally as it can still happen ❤️

@BubbleBoy12 yesss good to keep busy!! Today I started a new series (well re watching) so that will fill my evenings and my days are filled entertaining the kids 🤣 we have a night away next Saturday also 😍

So I took an OPK cos of all the cramping etc and 100% negative and cos im a pee on a stick whore (🤣) I popped a HCG test in too while I was at it - obviously 100% negative as i reckon im only 6/7dpo but hey couldnt help it 😜

@JazzyJade I was using OPKs but I reckon I missed my surge, got a very nearly + but then a few hours later it was - so that pissed me off and I stopped testing ha! But going off CM and my cervix it was very open with lots of watery and EWCM on days 24,25&26.. CM dried up then day 27. So im leaning towards day 25/26 making me 7/8dpo actually 🤔🤔 ANYWHO il stick with 6dpo to be safe!!

What date is everyone gonna test? Im testing on the 16th as il be 12dpo!

Not gonna lie I tested this morning at 9dpo BFN with fmu 😥 wish I didnt test. Has really made me feel down.

Think I will test Monday but I'll only be 8dpo so super early. I feel sick this am but pretty sure that's because I had a drink last night 😂😂 xxx

@Tipptopgirl 9doo is still very early, don't get too down yet 🤞🏻

@BigLucy what dpo did you test positive on your first one?

I'm only 4dpo and I'm away next week but after 16 cycles I no longer test and just wait for AF 🙄

I think I was 8/9dpo with ruben however I haven't got any syptoms! X xx

@Tipptopgirl I've been trying to cervix check for probably a couple of months now but to be honest I'm not really getting anywhere. The differences for me between high/low and soft/firm aren't that apparent so it doesn't tell me much unfortunately. 9dpo is early, you're definitely not out yet! I'm probably going to test then as well which will be Wednesday for me, so 4 days to go.

I've still got my tender boobs, they're really quite sore now! Sneezing a lot as well but I think that's just hay fever as I've stopped taking my antihistamines since I heard it can impact implantation. I've also had heartburn a couple of times in the last few days which I don't ever get - but it occurred to me that sometimes people say your prenatals can cause some symptoms and I just started the SS Trying For A Baby vits this cycle so wondering if it might be that.

And on that note - anyone noticing that their prenatals/folic acid in particular is messing with their appetite? I'm just never hungry now and nothing is appealing to me either 😩 Pretty sure it's not pregnancy related as it's been happening for a while now!

@Ashleighz88 thank you I hope not! I tested positive with my first really early at 8dpo (suuuuuper faint) and my second I was around that too so now im a bit panicked! Altho every pregnancy is different so im trying to stay positive!!
Ouch 16 cycles :( how do you stay busy to pass the 2WW? Are you regular?

@somanystars ah yes, for me mine doesnt ever seem to go low its always around the same place 🤔 but since iv had 2 kids when my cervix is open its fairly obvious to me! Tip of my finger would slot in! And for soft or firm for me its like my cervix almost disappears its so flat and soft feels like any other part of the vaginal wall - TMI but may help you if you wanted to go that route.

Well ladies iv been out for the day with the gang and nearly puked on the drive home - defo not cos of the 2 ice creams I inhaled 😁🤭 what did everyone get up to today?

God I am like 6dpo and I haven't got any symptoms not cramps nothing. Starting to think I'm out xx

Sorry only just caught up.

I’ve had nothing much, except for tonight I’m getting the same feeling I get when I’m about to come on.. like I feel “full” down there - the only way I can ever explain that is it’s as if all my organs have dropped to my ovaries? 😂 (sorry) , my hips are sore like my lower back 🤷🏻‍♀️ Small, not sore but uncomfortable cramping that Any other time I would mistake for needing the toilet or I’ve ate something odd 😂
My cold has gone, but my body still has that achy feeling and dry throat but I feel so warm to touch but no temperature! So No idea wtf is going on right now 🤔

@BigLucy don’t shoot it down so soon.. lots say they don’t get any symptoms for a while, it’s still early!

That sounds positive to me @JazzyJade !! Xxxx

@BigLucy do you ever get symptoms after you ovulate? I always get cramps and a full feeling pretty much from 2-3dpo so anything im feeling more than likely regular for me off hormones 😑

Tested with FMU - BFN 😩 (im anywhere from 8dpo to 11dpo)

Hi ladies, had a day or 2 off MN as I was slowly becoming obsessed reading absolutely every thread!!

6dpo here and boobs are absolutely killing me now, like they do when AF is due or here, but I'm not due on until next weekend so another week to go for me!

@tipptopgirl I'm sorry about your bfn but like you say, you could only be 8dpo which is still super early so don't be too disheartened x

I personally am not a fan of early testing, if I was to find out early then it would just bring me total worry which probably isn't the best in early pregnancy so I'm happy to wait and see! Having said that, I get fully invested in other people's early testing so please continue everyone haha

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend x
