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

Totally forgot to say, I got at 3 days early and now having the period from hell!

So fingers crossed for next month again!

Ooh, keep me posted 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I don’t know how many dpo I am, I had a positive ovulation stick on the 15th with a sex drive which coulda killed 😂 since then sex drive is a lot more normal & my ovulation strips have dropped right off. I had a lot of cramping the night of the 15th.

Either way, very early days. 1-2dpo & I have what feels like period backache. Don’t usually get any pains post ovulation. Anyone else had similar & had a positive outcome?

I really don’t know anymore @Bubblemonkey I was 100% convinced I was this month and I obviously wasn’t.
Tbh when I had my son I didn’t have any symptoms at all until I missed my period, I started being sick the next day. But every person and every pregnancy is different.
Keep us posted, I have everything crossed for you x

Just reporting back here in case anyone is still lurking, got my (faint) bfp today, 11dpo :)

@Toastedsesame yaayyyyy!!! I've been lurking!! I'm 13dpo, af due tomorrow and bbt hasn't dropped yet so fx!

Hi @MamaMoonbeam ! Thats good!

Sadly I had a chemical pregnancy :( I'm absolutely gutted - we threw everything at this cycle so I was so happy to finally get a bfp. Back to square one again now.

@Toastedsesame ah yey that’s amazing news! Congratulations 🥳
Wishing you a happy abs healthy pregnancy xx

I’m so sorry @Toastedsesame I got too excited and replied. I hope you’re ok ❤️

@Toastedsesame oh I'm so sorry, hun. Chemicals are awful - I had one in November. Allow yourself time to feel sad about it, it's ok to be sad.
I think af is just playing with me as frer was Stark white this morning 🙄 i really hate it when she doesn't keep to schedule!
Thoughts are with you, I'm here if you want to vent xxx

Thanks so much for the kind words @MamaMoonbeam I have been feeling really sad about it, much more than I thought I was. I think because theres so much negativity in the world atm it was like my little slice of happiness and something to look forward to and plan for.

How did you find yr cycle afterwards? My AF was short and relatively painless which is weird.

No worries @SarahAnne87 how are you doing?

Totally understand you being sad, it’s a really hard thing to go through ❤️

Just plodding on, 1 dpo again 😏

@Toastedsesame I had bad cramping a day before bleeding, like really bad and bled heavy for me for a couple of days. Annoyingly, it took forever to ovulate afterwards so my cycle dragged on and on by an extra fortnight or so. Have attached my chart so you can see.

I think af is on the way as feeling a little crampy and temp has started to dip - back to cd 1 for me, I think!

What do you use to get this type of information @MamaMoonbeam?
I’ve never done any really detailed charting but I’m thinking I might try if not successful this month x

@SarahAnne87 I use the femometer app to chart my bbt and lh levels with OPKs. It's a really useful app. The basic app is good but I pay monthly for the analysis section, which I like! Fertility friend website is supposed to be good too!

@MamaMoonbeam Blimey that was a long old cycle for you, wasn't it? I feel yr pain on that one.

My chemical has been weird, it was relatively painless but it was a lot of blood, usually my AF is barely anything but really painful, it was like the opposite way round. I've stopped bleeding now so gearing up for another ovulation in about 10 days hopefully.

@SarahAnne87 I use fertility friend to track my bbt and occasional OPK, although I find bbt the best. I'll post my chart for you in a min...

@SarahAnne87 here you go, this was from my last cycle, you can see my positive test at the end.

@Toastedsesame it was a slog! Hopefully yours is more settled than mine. Are you usually regular?

I don't even know what's going on with my af. I use a menstrual cup and today there was literally 1 drop of blood and 1 small clot at mid afternoon and nothing more yet. Weirdness!

Oh it’s all so complicated! I will have a look thank you ladies xx

@SarahAnne87 it all seems a bit daunting at first but once you get in the swing of things it becomes routine! And we're only a message away if you get stuck 😊 x

Loosing the plot here ladies, I can see a really faint line as can my husband but he says it’s too faint to be anything, what do you think?
