CD1 (again!) - No more relaxed approach..

[Braxos]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone wanted to join me today (or any day soon) tracking from CD1, hopefully all the way up to the BFP in 28/29/30 days time!

I know its a little unusual, we tend to only be active on here when we are waiting after ovulation, but thought it might be nice to track all the way through as a group!

Anyway, if anyone fancies it let me know!

Gah! DTD last night & will again tonight to be sure.

Id only be 5dpo from CD14 so dont think the OPK would be picking up HCG yet - altho my RHR is up too! Does that happen with OV? Im gonna google it. Its probably the stress of this bloody TTC lark 😂

So guess it'll be ov day tomorrow & 1dpo tuesday 😒

This cycle is having me on im sure, not only has it lasted 84 years, its now restarting 😂😂

@Braxos hopefully you've covered yourself for whichever day it was but yes I can imagine going back to 1DPO would be so annoying but it might be worth it!!

I'm trying to work out if pregnancy could make me this tired at like 7DPO. I am exhausted and have been in bed since 8pm. Along with the now graduated from sensitive to painful boobs...is this going to be a week of PMS and I'm just being ridiculous trying to symptoms spot or could we have finally done it 🤞🤞🤞

@hels301990 I can’t help symptom spotting either. 5 days post ovulation and I’ve had lower cramps this afternoon. Feel like period pains but I’m CD20- could it be implantation pain 🤞

Weird one I am CD20 and (approx) 6dpo according to Fitbit app.... felt twinge right side earlier and some light cramping, then just checked and I've started AF............. Bit early?!

@sasbiscuit fingers crossed it's implantation bleeding!!

@sasbiscuit is it like proper bleeding? If not it could be implantation? Although TTCing does seem to do some funny things to cycles too. Fingers crossed for a BFP

@sasbiscuit ooh could be promising! Keep us updated! Hope it's not AF playing tricks on you.

Thanks guys :)

But I don't think its implantation even though the timing could make sense.

I have cramps and very achy legs like I would normally starting my period, and (TMI) it's red and a flow, not pink or brown spotting like I've read it would be if it was implantation.

Weird cycle anyway as I have had very sore boobs this whole cycle since last AF ended, gradually getting worse.

My body seems to do things different each cycle since TTC so I've given up symptom spotting as it always leads to my AF coming instead!

FX it is implantation lovely & it stops soon!

I have had another super dark opk (like a dye stealer dark). No idea whats going on with my body?! 😩

@Braxos have you done a preg test?? Otherwise mega late ovulation I guess?

@Braxos do a pg test? Apparently sometimes LH tests show positive when you're actually pg (that's what I've heard anyway)

I've had lower tummy/back light cramps today plus the sore boobs and a weird stuffy nose (which of course I googled) I'm desperately trying to convince myself it's PMS and not get my hopes up!

@Braxos these were my opk’s when I was pregnant with DD. I didn’t know as my cycles were a mess following a mc. The timing for these didn’t make sense for ovulation so I rang my consultant, she told me to do a pg tests and there it was.

What CD are those @penguinmumma ? X

I'll test with FMU but im not convinced! I think this cycle is a right off 😩😂

@Braxos best of luck! Xx

Fingers crossed for a success story in some way!!

I am desperately trying to stop myself symptom spotting and failing miserably!! How do people just chill out!?

No idea @hels301990 its all i think about!

Cant sleep, have a very sore pelvis/uterus.. almost like braxton hicks type pains! Super unusual, deffo not an AF symptom..

Well another dye stealer on an opk this morning, with FMU too! But FRER is negative (i think! The more i look the more my eyes imagine a line..). So no idea whats going on. Also up allll night with pelvic/uterine pain.

@Braxos weird!!! I reckon keep dtd in case this is mega ovulation!

So weird! I just cant imagine this is OV. Last 3 cycles have been CD15/16, today is CD22..

But who knowwwwss...

If i go by CD15 being ov, which i think it was - that would make me only 7dpo today so wouldnt expect to see anything on HPT yet.. but then why is the LH positive lol.. gah. I hate this!

@Braxos yeah it's so bizarre! I guess cramps could be implantation? You'll have to re test with an FRER in a couple of days and see if anything pops up! I think it takes a couple of days from implantation for HCG to increase enough to detect.

@Braxos I've no advice to give, but just wanted to write and wish you an outcome, whatever that may be! The limbo must be horrible!!xx

Ummm.. am i imagining that?!

I can definitely see something! How exciting @Braxos !!! Oooh I hope this is a lucky thread!

I think I see something too I think!
