I'm 7DPO today (I think) and driving myself mad with symptom spotting....

Is anyone else in the same boat?

When would be the best time to test, so assuming i ovulated on the 11th September as thats when the opk was darker than the control line which would put me at 9dpo, im now on cd20, not really sure when im due af, as i miscarried on the 1st September. Thanks. X

@chasingtherainbow1 bloody hell! That's so bad! Definitely going to be using a different brand too after that! Xx

Thank you @line123eyesalways, im having slight cramps very low in my back and front right in the middle, more a dull ache. Ill test Friday morning. I have a few tests here, ive a one step answer, and clear and simple. X

line123eyesalways · 21/09/2021 11:59

@Mamastarz sorry when is your AF due again? Are these symptoms normal for you? X

@line123eyesalways, im not sure as my cycles vary, i got the same symptoms last month, and was pregnant, back in march i suffered the same aches and pains as i do with my period and was pregnant aswell, though both ended in miscarriages, so symptoms wise i cant really say. Been having lots of cramps today, so who knows, i guess at this point i will have to wait and see. X

I wonder if you guys have any advice. I’ve started trying OPKs this month but so far no positive. I’m using the clear blue digital but no smiley. But today I’ve had loads of EWCM. I’m on CD14.

Is it possible to ovulate without getting a positive OPK?

I kind of wished I’d not started on them now as I’ve conceived before without them so I know I can conceive, it’s just making me over think things even more.

How’s everyone else getting on this cycle?

Kallie92 · 27/09/2021 22:04

Hey @charl881 keep testing twice a day? Is it just the blank circle? Or is there a flash facey? I sometimes didn’t get a static until evening xx

Charl881 · 28/09/2021 07:15

@Kallie92 not to worry, I got my smiley first thing today! Do I stop testing now and just DTD every day for the next couple of days? Been so long since I last used these!

Hope your pregnancy is going well!

Kallie92 · 28/09/2021 09:17

Is that the static face yeah I would dtd every day for the next couple of days just to increase your chances xx

Charl881 · 28/09/2021 21:29

Yes static face ☺️

line123eyesalways · 30/09/2021 11:54

Hi ladies! I'm back.

Ovulation is predicted for today. I've had a few aches and pains but nothing like my usual ovulation pain so not optimistic again this month!

How's everyone else getting on x

chasingtherainbow1 · 30/09/2021 12:09

@line123eyesalways can't believe it's getting to that time again, these months are flying. I think I have another week until my ovulation though. Fingers crossed this is the month.

I've decided to take a relaxed approach this month. No opk's and no testing unless a period is late. Can't remember if I told you this but I've also been out on a waiting list to test for natural killer cells. It should be in about 3 weeks time providing im not pregnant. Only thing is, you can't TTC for 2 months until testing is complete. We're just trying to decide if we want to do that or if we want to carry on and see what happens in the third pregnancy.

line123eyesalways · 30/09/2021 12:16

@chasingtherainbow1 I know it's crazy. They really are going fast!

I am too! I haven't really thought about it since AF started and had after the issues I had with DP I put it to the back of my mind.

Oh thank god they're doing something! Do you feel like you'll sway more to getting the test done or waiting? Xx

@line123eyesalways hey 👋🏻 I ovulated yesterday I think. Annoyingly didn’t DTD yesterday as I just couldn’t be bothered after a very long day at work but hoping I did it enough beforehand and might try tonight just in case I didn’t ovulate until today. I’ve been using OPKs for the first time this month, interesting to see what’s going on in my cycle if nothing else. How’s everything with you?

@chasingtherainbow1 that’s good they’re looking into it, but must be a tough decision to make!! I guess in the grand scheme of things two months isn’t long if you get some answers and they can give you help - but it might not feel that way at the time.

winkles23 · 30/09/2021 13:39

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining. Currently 7dpo but no symptoms whatsoever! Feel like this TWW is dragging :(

chasingtherainbow1 · 30/09/2021 13:59

@Charl881 yeah I found opk's very useful to find out when you actually ovulate because I was miles out from what I thought!

Yeah wee just trying to decide whether to give it another couple of goes the next few months. Think we're just worried about wasting time if they come back fine. I'm 32 and my partner is 35. I know it's not too old but don't want to keep leaving it too late

line123eyesalways · 30/09/2021 14:04

@Charl881 how are you finding the OPKs? Were you ovulating when you thought you would? Hopefully you've managed to get it, but tonight sounds like a good idea too!

All's okay with me. Had the little off spot with DP but were working on things now and it seems to be all okay... I've really relaxed this month so just seeing what happens! X

OP posts:
Charl881 · 30/09/2021 14:07

@line123eyesalways I was ovulating a couple of days later than I thought so that was good to know! I’m going to do it next month too but I’m not planning to do it longer term once I have an idea of what’s going on. Relaxed seems to be a good way to go!

@chasingtherainbow132 is absolutely fine I’m sure but I know what you mean, it does add in extra pressure.

chasingtherainbow1 · 01/10/2021 21:02

How's everyone getting on? I'm so confused. I got a peak opk last month on CD20, I'm currently on CD 12 and I've had loads of EWCM (sorry tmi) can't you get that when you're not about to ovulate? Maybe my cycles are a bit all over the place. Better get dtd tonight just in case 😂

chasingtherainbow1 · 01/10/2021 21:22

Just done a left over opk and looks like I'm close to ovulating. How are we ever meant to conceive when our cycles are so unpredictable 😂🙈

7DPO...
Charl881 · 02/10/2021 19:49

@chasingtherainbow1 I had EWCM for a few days before I got a positive OPK this month, I thought they would be on the same day.

Baileysmum220118 · 03/10/2021 00:01

Hi Ladies, I hope you don't mind me joining in. I am 7DPO on cycle 2 trying for number 2 and hoping for good luck. So please for those of you who have had a BFP. My cycle Isn't very regular and I got AF 4 DPO last cycle so no idea what will happen but hoping for the best. 😊

line123eyesalways · 03/10/2021 11:00

Hi ladies,

How is everyone doing? I'm apparently 3DPO today.. I'm unsure if I ovulate! I got bad pains on Thursday and still getting a few stomach cramps today x

OP posts:
Baileysmum220118 · 03/10/2021 21:38

I'm on 7DPO and have really sore boobs (not an AF symptom for me) and cramping. My cycles are really irregular and after last month (AF 4DPO) I keep expecting her to arrive. Finding it quite stressful waiting. What's the earliest it's worth doing a FRER?
