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

You will laugh @Grumpsy.. AF not due til 22nd november! Based on the fact I usually have 33 day cycles. Sometimes I get a 26 day'er or a 37 day'er tho!

I only used OPK's and its my first try with them, so I'm not fully convinced I've got my dates right.

@Toastedsesame to be fair it’s my first time temping because I wanted to understand my body a bit more. I’m not convinced my data is accurate as I’m not great with the same time every morning 🙈

This is also my first time using OPKs in a while - I stopped using them as they were always +ve on one of 3 days 🙈🙈 - just thought we’d go all out before we go for the dreaded ivf - I’m skeptical about it having worked as we have male factor motility issue, but my OH did stop smoking 3-4 months ago.

@Grumpsy Bit of a minefield really isn't it? Good luck to you!

@Toastedsesame it is very much a minefield! Good luck you you too, and let us know how it goes for you!

I am most definitely temping in my next cycle! I was meant to this cycle but I kept forgetting to do it 😂

I've had bad cramps this afternoon; have had to get a water bottle... so I definitely think af is on her evil way!!

Bleugh, I'm feeling very coldy. Looking forward to home time so I can have a lovely, not too hot, bath 😊

@littleeggcup it’s a pain in the bum if you’re like me and aren’t great at doing it at the same time every day. It has pointed out ovulation, but my initial temps were more erratic, but I think that’s my timing of taking them more than anything 🙈🙈 - they seem to have settled more now. Ironically enough my bleed at 7dpo did follow a large dip below the cover line too

Just brought some cheapies. Gonna try not to test till AF but tbh will probably poas tomorrow

@littleeggcup try a digital, no ambiguity with them! X

Hey everyone! I keep dipping in and out as I’m really stressing myself out 😂 I had the sorest boobs ever and now all symptoms have disappeared except for the occasional twinge.

@littleeggcup ahhh this all must be so confusing for you! Fingers crossed for you!

@Grumpsy when are you due AF?

@Toastedsesame I think I’m either 7 or 8DPO today but I can’t be sure as I’m only going off OPK. I did have cramps on the 1st and 2nd of November so it’ll be one of those two!

@MamaMoonbeam Have you got sniffles? I’ve had it for a few days. I’ve heard it’s a sign, but in reality it’s probably because I’m working so much and not getting enough sleep. Im really struggling to fall asleep lately! 🤔

@Babyhoping1 Good luck resisting! I haven’t done one for a couple of days so I’m doing good haha. I need to wait until Friday at the earliest to use a FRER. It’s such a weird feeling as im both excited and terrified to use it 😂

@Forest27 yea, I feel sniffly and crampy. My OH just ran me a bath so going to hop in. He's going to be making dinner too, he's a good boy! 😊

@Forest27 I’m due Sunday according to my temps, sat by the opks

And now, 9dpo bleeding again...pink spotting 🙈 maybe this is just a complete off cycle

@Grumpsy oh no, how strange. Is it much? Sounds very unsettling 💐

I feel so yuck this evening. Nausea hit me when my DH got home from work, the smell of his aftershave made me gag! I've never had this before, it's very odd. Also feeling sniffly and just a bit run down so perhaps I am coming down with something. But that tiny nonsensical part of my brain is saying I obviously must be pregnant, what other reason could it be
Hope everyone else is doing okay!

@littleeggcup @grumpsy
I have always been a bit rubbish at taking my temp at the same time each day but found that if I had 3 hours sleep it was normally OK, so if I woke up after 3 hours I'd take my temp even if it was the middle of the night. It's seemed to stabilise my temps a bit. I've now got an Ava which is great. This is cycle 31 for me and I think I just got a bfn on a FRER.

@Toastedsesame it was just when I wiped after going to the loo, but clearly pink and quite a bit. Similar to when you period just starts but it’s not quite a full flow yet, it’s completely gone again now and there’s nothing there. Still, it wasn’t as much as Saturday. If I spot it’s usually tinged CM, not actual blood, and usually just a few days before I’m due.

@Meme69 I was thinking about getting an Ava, just didn’t know if it was worth it? I’m also an occasional mouth breather so didn’t know if this would affect my temps, having said that they seem to have been fairly stable since ovulation (bar one massive dip)

@Meme69 do you think the Ava is worth the money? I've been so tempted to get one, I know I've spent that much on OPK's anyway!

@Meme69 so sorry about your bfn. You’re not out til she arrives. Have you bed for testing if it’s been 31 cycles? We were at a similar point when we finally plucked up the courage to go to the GP.

Bfn for me this morning. I am so out I know it; usually get bfp by now.

Boobs are killing me!! Af must be here soon.

I am 9/10dpo and on cd27.

Cycle is usually 30 days but my app is telling me 31days for some reason this month.

@littleeggcup sorry to hear about your bfn. Still not out till AF comes. Im trying not to test today cause im at home with the tests all day

Bfn this morning but still think its too early

@Dearmaria this is my first cycle using it (someone on here sent me it for free) and I love it. I've been temping for 2 years and this seems to work really well and gives accurate temps etc. I was doing vaginal temps before and this is much easier, plus it reads a lot more points.

@Grumpsy i've been for tests but there is little they can do as it's likely an age related thing, I just turned 42.

My temp dropped this morning and a bfn on a FRER. I think I'm out this month 😔

@MamaMoonbeam sounds like heaven! I’m even snifflier today but my partner has woken up with sniffles too 😒

@Grumpsy could it be implantation bleed?

@littleeggcup you’re not out until AF arrives! I have my fingers crossed for you! ❤️

I think I may have had the faintest positive yesterday on a IC but I was squinting so hard 😂 I need to wait until Friday if I can! It’s so hard not to test!!

Are anyone’s else’s boobs feeling heavy and a bit hard? I even got my partner to poke them and he was like they feel weird 😂

@Meme69 where abouts are you, as the nhs thresholds vary throughout the country?

@Forest27 who knows. I hope so, I’ve had bleeding at 7 & 9dpo now (definitely not a period) so if it’s not I’ll be going to the doctors to see what’s going on (this is completely out of the norm for me). I did have a hsg a few months ago and I’m hoping it’s not something more sinister

@littleeggcup still not out until she shows up, it’s still early!
