1dpo! Anyone else?! Let's keep each other sane!

[littleeggcup]

The long tww begins!!! My positive opk was Friday so guessing today I'm 1dpo. Been dtd everyday for last week so hoping we have caught! Although I only have one Fallopian tube due to ectopic two months ago xxx

@Toastedsesame I tried to keep it all chill and then caved and bought opk’s from amazon 🙈 I suppose at least I know it’s going to be a longer cycle for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

How are we all getting on ladies!?

I am only cd2! So slowwww

My boobs usually hurt right after I have ov'd so it's unusual for me right now to have no painful boobs!

I'm glad i wrote down all my symptoms day by day last month so this month I won't go crazy. Hopefully haha xx

@littleeggcup Okay thanks! Luckily I've started a new job so plenty to distract me. My app is saying ovulation in 9 days but I have had a ton of ewcm last two days so hoping maybe its wrong and its early this cycle. We've DTD a lot! so think we'd be covered.

@littleeggcup Doing good, actually feel quite relaxed and not obsessive for a change! Only 2 dpo though so that might change I have no tests in to discourage myself from testing too early!

I’m currently 2 dpo and cramping like mad 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈 I’d say I got my ovulation wrong but my temp rose so who knows what’s going on

I'm shattered. Grief is exhausting 😴 really hoping that and our chemical last month doesn't effect potential conception. 1 day til ovulation so 3 days of bd before the wait begins again 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Mama
I had chemical last month too. It was my second month TTC
Im currently on 3 dpo this cycle x

Grumpsy

I'm 3dpo and also cramping. Sore nips, bloating, peeing more and hungry. Really off symptoms just after ovulation, never had this many before. Normally just had sore nips. Who knows what's going on! Tww hurry up!!!

@Hannah199y last cycle was our first month ttc.

I am not hopeful for this month.... or maybe I'll have my lh peak later? I deffo haven't peaked yet and predicted ovulation is supposed to happen tomorrow. Ugh! This tww is going to be a killer

Sounds promising @Grumpsy ? you too @Hannah199y

@MamaMoonbeam hope yr ok! Losing a pet is a such a sad time. 3 days of DTD you go girl!

Still ages til I ovulate and finally got my hands on some OPK's, negative at the mo.

@MamaMoonbeam fingers crossed for you. Grief is the worst, hope you’re holding up as well as can be.

@Hannah199y same but then I think it’s too early for symptoms - it’s probably just my OHs cooking 🤣🙈

@Toastedsesame I hope so but doubt it for some reason. I’ve also got lower back ache. But think I just need to move more - being at hone and working from home sat at a desk all day is finally catching up with me. At least in the office you move about more - I was like an old lady walking my dog yesterday 🙈

Wah! Think last month's chemical has fucked with my ovulation. Today is supposed to be ovulation day but haven't seen a peak in lh and bbt hasn't risen yet 😔 mean more dtd until ovulation is confirmed! 😬

@MamaMoonbeam hmm see what you mean, could it also be stress? Maybe your body is waiting to ovulate and will try again.

I've just started using opks again and I've been putting them into premom now, its really handy! Still low fertility at the moment but ovulation is due in 5 days so I think we'll start the dtd marathon shortly :)

Hope everyone is well!

@Toastedsesame luckily stress doesn't usually effect my cycles, I think it was the chemical.
No peak and no rise in bbt so just sitting tight with it.
Opks are really helpful! I like them 😊

@MamaMoonbeam
I had a chemical last month and it made me ovulate much later this month. My cycles are generally regular around 29 days but I ovulated around cycle day 21/22. I would normally ovulate around day 15-18.

Have any of you used the one step OPK's? I'm finding the lines really faint on them..

@toastedsesame I started off using the one step OPKs but I literally never got even a hint of a positive with them. Not sure if my surges just aren't high enough for them to pick up or what, my peaks are usually 1.3 at most on the premom app. I use the easy@home ones now and find them much better.

@Toastedsesame I started using generic ICs but have switched to femometer. I prefer the femometer ones now

@Hannah199y thank you. Just getting annoyed at not knowing when my ovulation window is at the moment. Tracking and hoping it happens soon so I can test before Xmas 😅

@Toastedsesame reiterate what others have said - one step aren’t great. I did get a peak with them but the line wasn’t darker than the control line. I’ve switched to Femometer ones, and really like them

Hey ladies! I hope you're all well??

I'm 7dpo today and tested as I have no self control- obviously negative!!

My usual pms symptoms have been absent which I'm hoping is a good thing?

I usually have such sore boobs the day after I ov. And strong cramps too.

I only started having sore boobs yesterday at 6dpo. But not how they usually are. It's kinda on the sides?

Other than that, I had some weird cramp last night but nothing since!

Oh I'm cd24 and I usually have a 30day cycle!

So af is due a week today.

@littleeggcup Fingers crossed for you! I always hate when my usual symptoms are different or lacking, so hard trying not to let your mind wander. I so hope it's a good thing for you this month though.

I'm 6dpo, still not caved and bought any tests yet. Very impressed with myself Planning to order some tomorrow though so they arrive by the end of the week. AF due a week tomorrow-ish.

I've been sick as a dog all morning but my eldest DS had a bug over the weekend so I'm trying not to read in to it too much!

@Dearmaria isn't it just!! It's frustrating really as every month I have such bad pms for two weeks. So if af turns up I'm going to be gutted! Our bodies the us sometimes I swear haha!

@littleeggcup same dpo as you and also have no self control so POAS this morning. Clearly negative 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️ In my defence it was a cheap stick so at least I haven’t wasted an expensive one 😂🙈

I have 1 sore boob and I’ve got cramps but I think this is probably normal for me 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈

@Grumpsy ok glad I'm not alone haha yes I have a bunch of those one step IC. But I just stare at them so long that I start to believe i can see a line 🙄🙄

The lack of pms symptoms is weird for me. Although I'm sat here on my laptop and I am starting to have some burny type cramps!
