2dpo, anybody else?

[Justwantbaby1]

Hi all

Currently now in my tww, ttc #1!!

Very nervous this time around as we’ve made a definite effort this month to conceive so really hoping this is our month.

Our 8th tww and it’s never any easier!

Anybody like to join me?

@Justwantbaby1 Hey! Am ok, trying not to symptom spot this cycle. I had really bad nausea last cycle which really tricked me 😫...gonna try stay calm...and not permanently Googling every little thing 😆🙈. How are u doing? X

@calimc83 it’s crazy how much more you notice when you’re actively trying isn’t it! I only ever really noticed cramps before af before I was ever trying but now there is all sorts that I don’t know how I’ve never noticed them😂😂

I’m 4dpo now and I’ve got the weirdest thing going on, itchy nipples😐 I’ve never had this as a symptom before af so all very weird and confusing! I’d like to think it’s my month but I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much!🙈x

Out of interest. If you don't use OPKs.
How do you know for sure you're ovulating??

I just have used an app to track my cycle. But I only ever input my af.

I went by that. Which said ovulation day was actually Monday. I DTD Sat/Sun/Wed.

This is cycle #1 and I already hate it 

Last time we said we would stop using condoms and 4 weeks later I BFP. Which I never expected!

It's getting in my head already!

Also @Justwantbaby1 feel you with the nipple thing. That was happening to me yesterday!

@Justwantbaby1 oh 💯 it's such a head f**k..will u test early this cycle or wait till AF is due? X

@xidrinkwinex I don’t use OPKs but will probably start if nothing happens. I only use AF tracking and keeping an eye on cm. I had covid in Dec and that made AF arrive early so although my cycle is regular and I’ve been off contraception for years I am a bit worried my cycle isn’t reliable.
Do you feel like your ovulation prediction was correct? Have you noticed any change in cm etc? Based on mine I think it was about right but possibly out by a day or so. I hope as swimmers can survive a while if you DTD either side it might be ok.
Will you test early?

@xidrinkwinex yeah it’s definitely caught me off guard as it’s not a usual thing for me…

@calimc83 I’ll probably wait and see if af comes, last cycle I was so close to testing and then af was 2 days late, I just don’t want the disappointment I guess x

My "symptoms" today.

Hunger
Thirst
Need to pee
Tired
Bloated / achy lower belly.

Who knows.

Agree with symptoms messing with your head, I'm only 3dpo but have had slight cramping and cried at such a silly thing earlier 😂 I know it's not symptoms really way to early but I question everything,anyone else feeling symptoms at all? I like to compare 😂🙈

@Justwantbaby1 I waited last cycle...what no cycle are you on now? X

@xidrinkwinex definitely similar to me!

@arianasky I’m very irritable but I usually get this way before af so nothing new🙄😂

@calimc83 ummmm I think it’s 9, I’m not 100% sure I’ve lost count now🙈😂x

@arianasky I don't feel sick this cycle and I did last cycle 🙈😆...I also have another spot appearing next to my ovulation spot that I always get! 🙈 is it bad skin or related to hormones...who knows?! 😆 x

@Justwantbaby1 they just role into one don't they?! 😫 x

@calimc83 they definitely do!
We haven’t be consciously trying that whole time though, we moved into our first house in November so that’s when we decided to start trying properly… before then it’s was more just a ‘if it happens, it happens’ but we stopped using any protection not long after we started buying the house (which was in February!!!) because we were aware it can take a long time, just wasn’t expecting it to be this long😂🙄x

@calimc83 I also had a spot this morning and my skin feels a bit dry but I suffer on and off with those so could be anything haha! It's so crazy isn't it how we all overthink things 😂

@arianasky oooh everything gets over thought! 😆 x

@Justwantbaby1 I never managed to go down the 'if it happens route'..I get obsessed straight away 😆 x

How’s everyone doing?

@arianasky and @calimc83 Im some spotty this month. I think it is stress related. Work is horrendous atm and my toddler has quit sleeping. But who knows.

My sore boobs have disappeared so trying not to get my hopes up.

It is cycle 8 for us (finally worked it out)

@Tjsmjs I’m very good, apart from absolutely knackered😂 work is definitely not going great for me either, the house we moved into is further away from where I work so it’s around an hours drive so I’m not getting home until nearly 7, it’s awful not having actual time to do much when I’m getting home😬

Tbh the more I symptom spot, the more I’m feeling like it’s not gonna be our month, why am I like this😂x

@Tjsmjs I think my spots are stress related aswell tbh, I have very sensitive skin and it always reacts when I'm stressed etc, got my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Woken up today and my skin has broken out soooo bad! I usually have pretty bad skin anyway which I have to use medicated cream for but this is just something else!!! I don’t remember the last time my skin was this bad😩

@Justwantbaby1 my face has also broken out! I never really get spots. So it's very strange. Either that or i do usually and I just a don't notice 😂

@xidrinkwinex it’s driving my up the wall, I’ve even got a spot on my forehead, I don’t think I’ve had a spot there in at least two years😂😂 also have a weird taste in my mouth when I drink today, diluted juice is tasting very odd so I haven’t drunk much today and I usually drink a hell of a lot😂x

4DPO...spotty chin and my lower back aches...😬 💯 reading into everything 😆😆x

@calimc83 I feel you! Everything is a symptom to me right now and I know deep down it’ll probably be af as most of them are usual pre af symptoms… apart from the odd couple😂x

@Justwantbaby1 😂😂 I know! Urgh..wish it was 7 days later already 😫🙈 x
