Hi everyone, how do I work out how many dpo I am? I had my static smiley Friday morning and my peak on my cheap tests Friday evening. I had high readings on my cheap tests Saturday up until Saturday evening. Do I Cound Saturday as 1dpo or Sunday as 1dpo? I think ive been counting my days wrong previously 🙈🤣

Coco987 · 09/03/2021 18:47

@Curlymam88 hey lovely! I would say count Saturday as 1dpo considering you had a static smiley then but if anyone thinks differently pls correct me lol

Curlymam88 · 09/03/2021 18:59

@Coco987 thanks for your reply 😊 yes I thought I'd count Saturday as 1dpo too but ive read other threads that have made me question myself 🤷🏽‍♀️

Coco987 · 09/03/2021 19:50

@Curlymam88 when are you thinking of testing? I’m 5dpo going to wait until at least March 18th because my cycles are around 33 days long feel like this isn’t my month but trying to keep the positive vibes :) x

[quote Coco987]@Jely123 hey! Not got too much hope for this month just don’t think we’ve done enough but I suppose time will tell I’m going to refrain from testing as long as I can, how are you doing??[/quote]
You never know! Keep an open mind 😀 hope things work out for you how many dpo are you ?

Jely123 · 09/03/2021 19:56

[quote Mysleepingangel]@Jely123 hey love!

I'm doing well thanks.
No I've not tested even though I'm 9dpo. I just want to wait until I'm at least around 11/12dpo. No point wasting tests 🙄

How are you doing[/quote]
Hey! Yeah that's good! I'm trying this month too:) x

Hey!! So I got my first positives on cd 16 I counted the next day as O and then the day after 1dpo, first time using opks so don't it that was at by 'O day' my cervix was firm and the day after O EWCM had gone. So I just took a guess I ovulated very soon after my first opk. They stayed positive until 1dpo Hope that helped. I'm new to this to so x
Curlymam88 · 09/03/2021 20:22

@Coco987 my cycles are between 25 to 30 days. Id like to do a test on mother's day but be afraid of the disappointment. Maybe next Tuesday which would be cd25/ 11dpo. I think 9dpo would be too early on mother's day?
I'm not sure if I got round ligament pain earlier when I coughed. Surely it's too early for round ligament pain though?
@Jely123 I see what you mean, I seemed to have some CM the day after my static smiley then nothing since. X

Coco987 · 09/03/2021 22:59

@Jely123 I’m 5dpo today (I think)

@Curlymam88 ahhh how lovely would it be to get a BFP on Mother’s Day but yeah like you say potentially too early if you prepare for the worst then go for it but if you think you’ll be too disheartened then just hold off until next tuesday ☺️

Jely123 · 12/03/2021 10:44

Hey everyone hope your all doing ok!!
So I'm about to show you all how crazy I am.
But I took a test this morning 6/7dpo (I know crazy it's well to early) but Iv got this line on a cheapie ?
It's a evap right?? :( bloody things.
Would appreciate your opinions

I was just about to write and ask how everyone is doing. I think im 6 or 7 dpo today too. I think I can see a very faint line in the 3rd photo. Have you had any other symptoms? I went out for a walk yesterday and couldn't do my coat zip up over my boobs so they've grown. And I'm feeling gassy and bloated. I'm hoping pregnancy symptoms and not just put on weight 🙈😂

trackiesandasmokeyeye · 12/03/2021 16:37

Hi ladies, sounds like I'm aligned with some of you. I've been using apps to track, but not checking BBT or doing OPKs. My apps predicted ovulation last Thursday or Friday, and I had EWCM then and cramping on Friday morning, so hoping that's a good indication. I tend to have shorter cycles (around 24 days) so thinking of testing on Tuesday/Wednesday (CD23/24 and 11/12DPO).

How are you doing?? Well Iv talked my self around to see how stupid I was to question it really as it was clearly just a evap I did take another to make sure. So won't be taking anymore now until 11/12dpo as I'll drive my self bad all day everyday other wise ahah! No symptoms just had the worst head ache all day long but I'm sure that's nothing related. Ohh I so hope this is a good sign for you!!!

Hey!! Oh I'd love a short cycle like that aha!! Oh I so hope you have the outcome you want this month! Make sure to keep us updated x
trackiesandasmokeyeye · 13/03/2021 00:02

@Jely123 - I think there's pros and cons both ways... I have to crack on as soon as AF does one or I have no chance and miss my fertile window, I've worried that isn't giving my follicles long enough to mature and I've spent time worrying about a short luteal phase too. I think we all have our own issues with our cycles! I did have a random 27 day one recently though.

Oh I'm sorry if I come across and ignorant. I'm sorry you've had to have these worry's. Just feels like forever when you have a long cycle.
From your above message all seem okay with the 23/24 cd being 10/11dpo so hopefully your worries are just worries. Xxx

trackiesandasmokeyeye · 13/03/2021 12:40

@Jely123 - ah no sorry hon, I didn't mean that or take it that way - I just mean ttc can be stressful for everyone for different reasons can't it! Yes hopefully my timings are ok, this is month 3 so nothing to say one way or the other yet. I usually have sore boobs by this stage in my cycle and I don't this month so I'm wondering if I'm having another longer cycle this month 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jely123 · 15/03/2021 09:32

Hey ladies how are you all doing??

trackiesandasmokeyeye · 15/03/2021 10:07

I had a total holding out fail and went for it POAS this morning. BFN, but that should tide me over until AF, so hopefully I'm not going to make too expensive a habit of it.

Of course!! It's so crap isn't it 🙄 I can't help but test. Been testing from 6dpo xx Hopfully it's our month!!
Sadie95 · 15/03/2021 11:30

@Jely123 same here, I got a positive digital at 10dpo with my first so I think I'm out but I try to convince myself that it won't be the same as my first. I am so bad a symptom spotting as well x
