Hi all I am currently 1DPO.
Anyone else entering their TWW? Smile
or if you're further along in your cycle how many DPO are you and do you have any symptoms?
My period is due 20th of August.
Xx

1DPO here!!! Same predicted period date 😊😊

@SLT90

1DPO here!!! Same predicted period date 😊😊
Yay!! 😃

Are you doing anything differently this cycle? I am only on cycle 2 but last cycle was when the euros was on and I was going out drinking quite a bit (not even into football but my partner is lol).. also didn't DTD very much leading up to ovulation. But this month I DTD on cycle day 13 and 14, ovulated day 15 so I hope it's enough!!

I am going out tonight to Wetherspoons to have a meal and will be having a few drinks but apart from tonight I don't think I'm going to drink until AF arrives (which hopefully it doesn't!)

Good luck to us, we could have babies on the same day! 😂🙈✨

@louise1997 @SLT90 I'm 3/4DPO AF hopefully won't arrive 15th august and I'll get my BFP. We are cycle 1 TTC DC1.

Really hopeful but making sure to keep my life as normal as possible in the interim

Hey 👋🏻my peak opk has now turned to high so I'm guessing tomorrow I'll be 1dpo 🥰 here's to the next two weeks 🤣 good luck everyone x

SLT90 · 07/08/2021 22:05

@wannabeamummysobad good luck! Hope you get your bfp soon 😊😊

@xoJellyBean good luck! I've found OPKs really useful this cycle!!

SLT90 · 07/08/2021 22:14

@louise1997

I got my peak on CD15 so I think maybe ovulated yesterday on CD16 😊 DTD on CD 9, 11, 14 and 15 (had planned every other day but that kinda went out the window!). Really wanted to cover CD16 too just incase but DH didn't seem up for it! Makes me feel a bit like we haven't quite done enough, but time will tell! Sounds similar timing to you, so good luck to us both!!

This is my first cycle TTC baby number 2 😊 we conceived baby 1 on our second cycle so trying to copy what we did then, but have added in OPKs this time as wasn't sure what my cycles were doing! I'm not doing anything different, e.g. stopping drinking, etc as I'm not a heavy drinker anyway and eat fairly well. Been taking my folic acid for a few months but that's all!

Very exciting!

Hi everyone joining in here !!
Currently 3DPO and already wishing the days away so I can test !
First proper month of trying and using ovulation strips because periods are all over the place since getting coil removed in Feb !

Will be good being able to talk about it as no one in family knows we are TTC.

Wishing us all the best of luck for BFP !!

I'm currently on 2DPO and this is the first month of using opk and properly trying trying, after 6 months of "let's be less careful n see what happens" I think we've put in a good effort this week. Annoyed DH was too tired on the day before ovulation though.

Hi all!

I'm either DPO0 or DPO1 - static smiley on Clearblue late Friday night but peak on cheapy opk at about 6pm sun evening so I'm not sure 🤷‍♀️

TWW driving me mad already😂😂

xoJellyBean · 09/08/2021 10:28

As someone who's never been pregnant I'm curious, did you have any symptoms in the TWW that you remember during your previous pregnancies?

Enjoy your hols! I'm not up to anything just working 😩 xxx

@louise1997

With my daughter before I could test I had cramping and a heavy feeling down lower pelvic area it’s a weird feeling never had it before was just like a heaviness and feeling I was about to take my period any second I had to keep going to check 😂 period never did come and got my BFP !

@hormonalhandbag sounds lovely hope your enjoy your holiday with the fam.
Currently nothing exciting going on redecorating the house is exciting as am getting this week lol !

Currently 4DPO now think I will start testing early hold off to 9-10 days and use early response test seen a lot of people getting faint lines with them on Premom app.

How’s everyone else holding up ? Hope all keeping good.

SLT90 · 09/08/2021 20:32

Good luck to everyone joining today!! Hopefully this is our cycle 🤞🤞🤞

@louise1997 when I got pregnant with my son, the first cycle was BFN but I had symptom spotted every single symptom imaginable in the TWW, then when I actually got my BFP the second cycle I had no symptoms in the TWW, including no PMS symptoms. The only thing that was a symptom was having unusual boob pain that started in my armpits and slowly moved in from the sides! All my early pregnancy symptoms kicked off from 6 weeks - bloating, terrible nausea, food aversion, cramping, etc. I do wonder if I will get the same symptom/lack of symptoms when we conceive again!

hormonalhandbag · 09/08/2021 21:20

@louise1997 Good luck to you too! I have a feeling this is going to be a lucky group!!!

Teaandcrumpets95 · 09/08/2021 21:37

I'm feeling optimistic this cycle, not sure why maybe this will be a lucky group 😁

Gonna try and relax, keep my head in check - though I know within a couple days I'll be symptom spotting like a maniac 🙈

Xx

Teaandcrumpets95 · 09/08/2021 21:47

louise1997 · 09/08/2021 21:51

@hormonalhandbag aww thank you that's so lovely 🥰 I am very excited 💕
I have a feeling this'll be a lucky group too 😁xx

@Teaandcrumpets95

I know, it's so hard not to stress & obsess!! I look out for every little thing so hearing other people had no symptoms at all makes me feel a bit better cos as I get further along I start getting upset if I have no symptoms!
I'm going to try to hold of testing until the 18th, when I will be 12 DPO & 2 days before period is due. 🤞🏼 xx
