I’m either 2 or 3 dpo ( 3 days after my peak opks). Anyone else? I’m very emotional today, don’t know if it’s just one of those days or if It’s something else

Do you normally get that? I've got sore boobs, but I'm wondering if its because now I'm seeing people I'm wearing a bra a lot more!

MoominC · 29/04/2021 11:39

@HannahAD I've never heard that one before. All good signs at least. When are you due to test?

I only ever get cramps or pain on the first day of my period. My period is due on Tuesday so I’m planning on testing with a FRER on Saturday

Hopefully some good signs guys! I’ve got a busy weekend ahead so hoping that keeps me distracted enough not to test!

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/04/2021 11:10

@Wanderdream and @MoominC anything from either of you? My temps are rising still and I’ve got creamy cm, but I don’t feel anything else really

MoominC · 30/04/2021 11:19

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 No nothing yet. Had some cramping and sharp pains which I don't normally get before AF and very sore boobs which is normal for me before so could go either way. I'm still trying to not test before Sunday/Monday. How are you doing?

Hoping4second · 30/04/2021 11:25

Jumping on the bandwagon - 7dpo.

Been ttc for a full year now...

I'm planning on testing Monday morning. Not temping any more as it drove me crazy after a while.

Good luck everyone! May this be the month of the bfps!

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/04/2021 11:27

@MoominC same really, think it could go either way here also. Sore boobs but its reducing, so not sure what to think

MoominC · 30/04/2021 11:28

@Hoping4second Welcome 😊 I hate temping. I forget half the time and stress myself out when I do lol

MoominC · 30/04/2021 11:29

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 It's so annoying isn't it. I wish the signs for pregnancy and AF were different would make life so much easier

ChickenNuggetRose · 30/04/2021 11:41

Hope it's okay to join! I'm now 8dpo and I've had constant cramps for the past 3 days 😩 I'm not due AF until 7th/8th so surely it can't be that?!

Sending baby dust to everyone 🤞🏼

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/04/2021 11:46

@Hoping4second welcome! I'm only on my second month of temping, but yes it gives me something else to pore over and overanalyse . Was thinking maybe I should just do it for ovulation going forwards and then stop thinking about it. We'll see. It did drop just before my period last month so that was a nice heads-up.

@ChickenNuggetRose welcome also! Sorry about the cramps, doesn't sounds very fun.

I think I'll prob test Sunday or Monday - I'm away this weekend so don't want to depress myself!

Hoping4second · 30/04/2021 11:51

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 oh yes I was temping when I conceived my first, it does work! But after 6+ months of charting it every morning the thermometer fell at the back of the bed and I left it there for now. A break / change can sometimes help with infertility I think. But yes absolutely recommend it, I helps me understand what's going on in my body!

MoominC · 30/04/2021 11:52

@ChickenNuggetRose Welcome 😊 could be implantation. I found I notice more since TTC that I didn't realise before. Fingers crossed its all a good sign though.

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 Have a nice weekend away. Hopefully it will distract you from everything

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/04/2021 11:58

@Hoping4second 🤣🤣🤣 tbf I think my partner wouldn't mind throwing mine behind the bed either - it does make an obnoxious beeping noise every morning that wakes him up

@MoominC yes I do the same - notice every little thing, and its not healthy for me because so far its been wind, or normal pmt, etc etc etc. When I was pregnant (miscarried) I tested a couple days late and I didn't have any symptoms at all until about week 6, except some travel sickness around the time my period was due

ChickenNuggetRose · 30/04/2021 12:21

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @MoominC

Thank you both! I definitely agree that you notice the little symptoms more when TTC! I did have cramps a week before AF with the first but I can't remember if it was constant though! Those who temp, what's the best way to temp?

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/04/2021 12:46

@ChickenNuggetRose I am not a pro, but I just ordered a BBT thermometer - make sure it has 2 decimal numbers. Cost about £5. I use the Flo app to record. Leave my phone and thermometer by the bed, and take it every morning at 6.30am

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/04/2021 12:54

Here’s my chart to illustrate. It confirms ovulation when temps jump up for three consecutive days. Just before period, temps drop back down, so you get a little heads up period is coming.

2/3dpo anyone?
MoominC · 30/04/2021 12:57

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 sorry to hear about your MC. I was the same with mine no symptoms at all.

@ChickenNuggetRose Just get bbt thermometer. Can get them quite cheap on amazon. I use the premom app and take my temp when I first wake up (if I remember lol)

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/04/2021 13:02

@MoominC thanks! So no symptoms is sounding positive!

@ChickenNuggetRose to add to that, I forgot to say always take the temperate at a similar time (no more than 1 hour out) each day. Take it first thing, without moving around, talking, or doing anything. If you do want to temp, would recommend the fertility friend online tutorials. You're looking for a bi-phase pattern - so lower temps before ovulation. The day after ovulation temperatures should increase quite a bit. For the luteal phase the temperatures should stay quite high. If the temperature drops down to pre-ovulation temperatures, it generally means your period is on its way. So last month mine dropped down the day before period, and then period arrived the next morning

ChickenNuggetRose · 30/04/2021 14:58

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @MoominC

Ah thank you so much for all of the info! It's my first month TTC and I had no idea what means what regarding BBT, but it makes sense with your description! I'll order a BBT thermometer on Prime for the start of my next cycle. I already have the Flo app so I'll use that 😬 I'm terrible though, I'll probably forget and start moving when I wake up 🤦🏻‍♀️ Currently using OPKs and they seem to be pretty much spot on to what my app says.

How do you all have so much will power not to test so early 🤣 Have you both been TTC for very long?

MoominC · 30/04/2021 15:02

@ChickenNuggetRose I'm usually an early tester but trying to be good this month lol I've been trying a few months this time. Was trying around 8/9 months about 2 years ago which ended in MC then with covid and other family issues we waited till this year to start again 😊

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 30/04/2021 15:02

@ChickenNuggetRose I started trying in Aug 2020, fell pregnant straight away, miscarried in October, and I've had nothing since. My periods have been regular-ish since December

ChickenNuggetRose · 30/04/2021 15:17

@MoominC I've purposely only got a couple of real cheapies in the house so I'm not tempted to test too early 🤣
@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Sorry to hear about both of your MC's😞 I really hope this is a lucky thread and both of you get the BFP's you deserve this month 🤞🏼
I'm expecting it not to happen straight away for me either, but you still can't help but get a little excited with every symptom!
