1DPO - who is with me?!

[BigLucy]

Hi Ladies,

Anyone at the start of their TWW?

Xxx

Hello! I’m either 1 or 2 dpo. This is our first cycle TTC after a MMC in August. We only DTD twice around ovulation so I’m not holding up much hope. This was my first time using OPKs and they confused me so much.

The first time I fell pregnant I pretty much knew straight away, this time I’m not feeling as optimistic.

How long have you been TTC @BigLucy

Hi @Boredinthehouse12 - I'm on cycle 2 used oPK's and clear blues both months. I have one son who is 2.5 but took us a while to fall for him. I think I'm 1DPO but u am going to dtd today too just encase as line was still strong this am. Is this your first child? Xxxx sorry to hear of your miscarriage xxx

Hi ladies. I’m in my first cycle ttc first baby, it’s also my first cycle off the pill so I have no idea what my cycle is like, if everything has returned to normal (decided not to use OPKs straight away and just see what happens) according to my apps I’ll now be 3dpo, I did get a few pains in my lower right side so hoping these were ovulation pains! X

Hi @Purpleflowers21 yes that's a good sign of ovulation! Everything crossrd. What date do you think you are due on x x x

@BigLucy would be 23rd if cycles return to 28 days so I won’t test u too after then. What about you? Xx

@Purpleflowers21 I went so crazy month just gone because I had a chemical I have promised myself I won't test till I'm a day late. So I feel like I shouldn't test until the 25th/26th but depends if I can be strong lol xxx

@BigLucy so sorry about that. I’d never heard of a chemical until I joined Mumsnet! Does a chemical happen before your period would be due? Xx

🙋🏼‍♀️ 2DPO here. Cycle 2, TTC baby #2. Had a 35 day cycle last month and was convinced I was preg 😔 so was pretty gutted when AF eventually came. Not sure what happened as I got a positive OPK on day 15 of cycle 😬.

Sorry to hear about your chemical @BigLucy and your miscarriage @Boredinthehouse12 😔 TTC can be so rough sometimes xxx

I'm 8dpo. I've said to myself I will not test until the day after my period is due. I had a chemical last month. Fingers crossed baby dust for everyone xx

Hi! I’ll join, I’ve had signs of ovulation this weekend. Haven’t been tracking as I ran out of OPKs a week ago (in what should have been my fertile period). Just counting down to AF - might test early because I have no will power ha :)

Hi Ladies! First cycle trying to concieve baby no1. 1DPO today and due AF on 26th Oct. DTD on CD12 CD11 and CD9 and ovulated CD12 so hoping thats enough! All day today been feeling like im gonna start my period but hopefully thats a continuation of ovulation pains??

Hi. I'm 5dpo in my first cycle ttc baby no.2. I'm due the 21st October which already seems like a million years away. I've only really been using flo app I'm not sure how accurate it is as I've recently came of the mini pill and my cycles are varying alot. I do believe I did ovulate when it said I would tho so fingers crossed. It is so nice to be sharing this journey will you all. Good luck everyone.

@Purpleflowers21 you can sometimes be late if you have a chemical but basically you get positive tests then over a few days they don't darken or even get lighter and then you bleed xxx

@Babydust18 I had a chemical too late month. I think I'm 2dpo xxx

@CookieMonster3001 I am 2dpo but don't feel like I have any signs or anything - I'm watching everything haha. X xx

@Emiliasmummy do you use OPK's?. Xx

@BigLucy my first TWW and I totally get what people go on about now and how you try to notice every single niggle, haha! plus I feel like its seriously dragging!!

No symptoms for me either tbh. The crampy feeling I had yday has gone. The only other thing I have been feeling is stabby pains in my nipples but I reckon that's probably also related to ovulation!

@CookieMonster3001 are you going to test before you're due on? Xx

I’m 6po. Cycle 18 so not hopeful but still just as anxious during 2WW. We had been using one step ovulation sticks but no luck. We have had basic tests and nothing they can detect medically wrong with me. My OH has borderline low morphology but not to the point they are worried about conception. This month we reallllly tried hard. I used clear blue digital to detect fertile week & peak... been temping every day so detected the ovulation dip and temp shift post ov. We also DTD every other day from start of fertile week until 3 days of raised temp had been recorded after the dip. Every time we DTD we used preseed as I feel I have a lack of EWCM. I feel like we honestly couldn’t have done any more this month so what will be will be! Good luck & baby dust to all ☺️✨

@Bizawit thank you, time is definitely a healer!

Does anyone think they have symptoms yet? It’s still early days but hey anything is possible.

@Unicornsparklez sounds like you have done everything you can. Everything crossed for you xxx I think I could do with preseed too xxx

@BigLucy thank you ☺️ it's definitely worth a try. I didn't find it too much of a mood killer and it definitely made a difference as my OH has commented before on my dryness. Sorry if TMI but there was a big difference with that. Really hoping it helped some swimmers get up there and improved the acidity to keep them going long enough to meet the egg. I read loads of forums about it before purchase and of course it doesn't work for everyone so I'm not convincing myself it's the magic potion but there were a lot of success stories and at this point I'd probably try anything. You thinking about giving it a go? X

Hello!

Yes I'm 3dpo (I think!?) today! It's our 6th cycle for number 1.

I've not been using any OPKs or monitoring BBT, just an app and loads of sex

I've been quite good at waiting for AF and only tested once over the 6 months. Due 23rd this month.

Feeling positive this month, I'm doing sober October so am totally alcohol free and DP gave up smoking end of September so it feels like we're at least making positive steps to be as healthy as we can be.

@biglucy although I really want to wait until after AF is due, I know I am not going to be able to wait so I am going to test at 11DPO. Luckily I am away next week and only back for one day on Weds so I wont be able to test any other day. And when I get back ia the day before I am due on anyway, what about you?

Hi can I join pls :)

Third cycle of TTC after mmc. The Mc sent my hormones into a bit of a frenzy but hoping they are resuming to normal. Mc at 8.5 weeks so hoping for some luck soon. I have a gorgeous little boy who is 17 months. We are get lucky.

I’m currently 6DPO and ovulated on CD 18. I BBT charts and use OPK alongside CBD. Hoping for a lucky month. Chart attached for anyone who’s into that 😀
