9 DPO

[Sarah3956]

Hi! I’m new here. I’ve read what seems like hundreds of these threads, but never posted anything myself. I’m currently 9 DPO, I’m positive about my ovulation date as I get the really sharp pain on my left side each time! Have definitely had a multitude of symptoms. I have it stuck in my head that I’m pregnant, but I have 30 + day cycles. This would be the second one for me! Would love to have a baby, but still finishing up my schooling.. so! We will see. I went crazy and bought a ton of tests, took one this morning which was a BFN. But my period is still 7 days away, so. Would love people to keep me company from my crazy brain!!

@HerringGull I did spend a minute wondering what 'quite beans in bed' meant lol. I O'd a lot later than I thought I would last month so I think we had kind of burnt out on DTD by the time O day actually came so we probably could have had a bit more enthusiasm for it all! I had my coil out in July so actually on properly tried for one cycle so far, need to be more patient!

@Sarah3956 cute yes but high pressure also! Yeah I like the strips too. I wish my body would go back to my predictable pre coil 28 day cycles!

Hopefully it'll balance out after a couple more cycles 😊

@AKC88

Yes. I can see how it’s definitely high pressure as well. It’s our job to grow the baby, after all 🤪

15 DPO this morning. Yesterday was my last test.. don’t feel the need to anymore, unless my AF somehow does not show tomorrow. I feel that it will but, we will see!

Let us know! If it does show you can join us in month number two 😉

Yes keep us updated @Sarah3956!!

AF has finished for me today, I think I'll start OPKs on Saturday. How are you feeling @HerringGull?

Guys.. I’m getting nervous! AF is due tomorrow and I don’t want to keep being a crazy person but something is going on with my body. Have had crazy cramps since ovulation. Which is 15 entire days now!! My boobs are huge and I can’t stop looking at them! I’m feeling pretty fine today. Felt cervix again and everything is very swollen in there and somehow that baby is still high! It feels softer than yesterday. Idk. Have to stop over analyzing 😂🤪 I will not let myself test this week. I want to see if I’m days late, or possibly a week! 4 days late on AF was my golden ticket the first time around ❤️

Excuse me being graphic too.. but my sex drive has been out of this world this week! 😂😂 I could probably go multiple times a day, but SO always falls asleep after 😏

Fingers crossed @Sarah3956 !
@AKC88 - am okay, usual AF blues but nothing dramatic The brownies are helping!! Good luck to you this month xx

AF came this morning! Just like clockwork. Am having a bad day, stayed home from work with my little one who has the stomach flu. 😴

Unfortunately we won’t be actively TTC until summer ish time. The house process is still coming a long and it’s just smarter for us personally to have a few things in order, before a baby ❤️ If I time a summer pregnancy, I would have the baby a few months after I finish up school! Hopefully it works as well as in my head. I’ll be checking up on you ladies because I can’t wait to hear about a BFP!!! Wishing you the best of luck 😘😘

Just a little update but I got a BFP on Saturday making me 4 weeks tomorrow. Still utterly in shock.
Was taking evening primrose, Angus cactus, Ubiquinol, pre conception vits as well always using Conceive Plus. Gave up coffee a few months ago too. We just really went for it in every sense possible .... but still pretty shocked. Really good luck to all you ladies going for it & Sarah when you feel you’re in a good position to TTC next year - all the best xx

Congratulations @DollyParton2!
I’ve just got my BFP this evening after thinking AF was on it’s way for the last 5 days and I also took evening primrose oil leading up to ovulation!

@Humpty11

@DollyParton2

Congratulations to you both!!! ❤️🎊 I wish you all the best in your pregnancies and onward

Contrats Humpty11 ❤️🙏

Hey ladies!

@Sarah3956 sorry about AF but do keep us posted in the future when you decide to try!!

Congratulations to you both @DollyParton2 and @Humpty11 such wonderful news on a Friday morning!

I will start OPKs at some point over the weekend ready for another month!

@Humpty11 what does the evening primrose do?? I actually have some in the house.

@AKC88 thank you 😊.
It apparently helps with increasing cervical mucus production if taken leading up to ovulation but everything I have read said not to take it in early pregnancy because of risk of miscarriage. I also took it the month that I fell pregnant with my son but it might just be a coincidence!
Good luck with your month of TTC. I hope you get your BFP soon 🤞🏼 X

@Humpty11 so I take it from now until ovulation and then stop in case of pregnancy and start back up again if/when AF arrived next time? Does that sound right? Might give it a go!

@AKC88 yes, apparently that’s the way to do use it. It’s supposed to steady your cycles as well if they’re a bit all over the place but mine weren’t too bad anyway and it didn’t make them irregular.
Good luck!!

You can also take at the very end of pregnancy as well! It’s suppose to help ripen the cervix Or get it ready! I was terribly uncomfortable at the end of mine and I took it!

But that’s interesting about before ovulation, I never knew that

@Sarah3956 yeah, I read that too! Just can cause issues at the start of pregnancy I think.

How is everyone?? I should be ovulating in the next week and maybe we will have an accidental, purposeful try 🤔😉 I’m assuming some of you are in the TWW now?

Hi @Sarah3956

Not yet I have been ovulating late since having my coil removed so like yourself expecting it some point in the next week.

Hoping to see some EWCM in the next couple of days.

Feeling a bit more chill about it this month, we haven't DTD much so far as both crazy busy with work and kids but will up our game this week.

Oh yeah have a little try anyway, good practice

@AKC88

Nice to hear from you! Yes. Work and kids make life crazy busy, I hear you there. I’m feeling a lot more chill this month as well. But that’s a joke because I start getting the crazy brain after I’ve ovulated and closer to AF 🤪 I should be ovulating about the 15th ish, somewhere around there. I’m trying to convince my SO to start the baby making now, since we’ve just talked about wedding details for heavens sakes. If he wants 3, that’s going to take quite a few years. He’s getting on in his 30’s so 🤷‍♀️😉
