Hey all,

Simple post really, according to Flo and my current symptoms, I am due to ovulate today or tomorrow. Still trying to figure out OPK's and so not really been using them.

Just wondered if anybody wanted to go through the Two week window with me.

Have dtd a few times over the past few days and so hoping to have some luck this cycle.

Baby dust to all of you

Hello All,

I hope you are doing okay. The past few days have been super weird. I am no longer feeling as unwell but I am constantly popping to the loo and I just do not feel quiet right. To make it worse they cut the grass at work today and it's set my hay fever off. Yay me.

Anyway according to Flo I am 7DPO today although for some reason my ovulation date has changed as it originally predicted Monday.

My partner has been really unwell over the weekend after having four teeth out on Friday and so not had the time to go and get some tests and now back to working again. I am going to pick some up on Thursday as I finish work early that day.

I’m 5 DPO now (I think) and we dtd twice in my super fertile window (I think! 🤦‍♀️). I’ve got a pack of 20 el cheapo tests from Amazon, just need to waaaaait!

Excited101 · 15/03/2022 21:28

Christ! I can’t even get that right! 🤦‍♀️ 3DPO

Shrekroll · 15/03/2022 21:37

I have been feeling nauseous all evening. Only 6DPO though so trying not to read into it...

Aardbeien · 16/03/2022 00:08

@Excited101
You're so excited that you can't keep track of the days 😂 good luck!

Excited101 · 16/03/2022 00:21

Honestly! It’s ridiculous! 🤦‍♀️

LittleMrsMama · 16/03/2022 06:25

@Gillseybear I'm constantly going to the loo at the moment too! I've not had that before as an early symptom with my last 2 pregnancies but still hoping it's a sign of something. Hope your partner is feeling better soon and good luck getting the tests tomorrow. I'm 8DPO today so we're at very similar stages!

@Excited101 I have to keep reminding myself how many DPO I am with my app. I've also got those cheapie tests so testing each morning with no expectations yet as still too early but then hope it feels like less of a big deal when I'm a bit further along

Really hoping we get our first BFP here soon! @miamiamia869 how're you getting on?

Excited101 · 16/03/2022 07:48

Ah thanks @LittleMrsMama that makes me feel better!
I woke up to some fairly sharp cramps this morning, could that be implantation??!

Gillseybear · 16/03/2022 08:10

@LittleMrsMama yeah I know the felling. One day I am really constipated and the next day I am a bad belly although I do have IBS and so it could be linked to that
8dpo symptoms

  • cramps in my left side but the are mild compared to AF cramps.
-lower back ache
  • really sensitive nipples and by the end of the day my boobs ache and feel full
-am going to the toilet a lot. Everything I drink is requiring me to run to the toilet.
  • constapiation 1 minute and the next a dodgy tummy
  • increased discharge = I constantly feel like I have wet myself. It's ask think and creamy and white with a slight smell to it.
  • nausea that comes and goes and constantly feeling slightly sick
  • a headache that has been pretty constant the past couple of days
  • just generally felling unwell and not like myself.
  • no spotting this month other than on the day of ovulation compared to last month where I spotted from the day of ovulation until I had my really light what I assumed was my AF but I lately bleed a bit overnight and that was it.

Anyway hope everybody else is going okay and not driving them selves to crazy with the TWW

@Gillseybear sounding promising! Hope you manage to pick up tests tomorrow, will you be testing then or waiting? Smile
I'm 5DPO today, feeling very impatient although not holding much hope as we didn't get to DTD during the fertile window (CB tests being a pain so had no idea when to expect a peak, and just stupidly busy at the mo) other than once on the day of the peak!
@Excited101 I think 3DPO is too early for implantation but I am certainly not an expert! I just googled it myself a couple of days ago when I had light cramping haha!!

Excited101 · 16/03/2022 08:33

Technically it’s 4 days now @alwaysseeingstars but it could be a couple more if I got my ovulation date wrong! 🤣🤦‍♀️

miamiamia869 · 16/03/2022 08:34

@Gillseybear your symptoms sound very promising indeed. Fingers crossed for you.

@LittleMrsMama I am a day late at the moment but that's nothing new here I'm quite irregular. I was super moody at work and agitated and have some cramping so I'm starting to think it's a no this month. I've got to go passed to the range today so I am tempted to get s test. I don't usually have much self control at all tbh but I think because we have only really just started trying and I know I'm irregular I don't want to upset myself with a negative so I try to hold on!. Lol. How are you getting on? Xxx

Cheeeeeeeks · 16/03/2022 11:24

@Excited101 your at the same stage as me! I'm 4dpo (I think) what day are you going to test? At 6DPO (friday) or even staturday I'm gna symptom spot like crazy lol that is when I think I had implantation cramps with DD

Excited101 · 16/03/2022 11:29

Ohhh a conception friend! Hi @Cheeeeeeeks! I was thinking late next week, I was worried before then is too early, is it not?

Cheeeeeeeks · 16/03/2022 11:35

@Excited101 I'm gna test at about 12/13 dpo so next week Thurs/Friday?

Excited101 · 16/03/2022 11:44

Ok, I’ll do Friday!

Gillseybear · 16/03/2022 12:54

@alwaysseeingstars & @miamiamia869 I am hoping that I get lucky this month but we will see i guess. I just need to know soon as I work in a SEN school and so I need to let them know asap if I am.

12dpo today and bfn :( been testing on the Amazon cheapies since 9DPO I think. They're the 10miu/l ones so not as sensitive as FRER but better than the regular ones. Just had some frer ones delivered actually but going to wait for FMU tomorrow.

Feeling really negative and think I'm out. Although I did see my midwife from baby#1 randomly last night at a concert and hoping it's a sign!!

Aardbeien · 16/03/2022 15:17

I'm so convinced by my symptoms that I've just tested twice in one day, just in case 🤷🏼‍♀️ the NHS website said if you're unsure when your period is due to wait 21 days, how anyone ttc could be that patient I don't know

miamiamia869 · 16/03/2022 15:45

I tested this afternoon with a superdrug test and got a negative. Still no af but I do have cramping so expecting it soon x

I know right 🤣it's insane
Aardbeien · 16/03/2022 21:26

@helloworld88
Still no BFP, still no AF. I'm going to try to be more patient from now on, I'm only annoying myself with my own impatience 😂

LittleMrsMama · 16/03/2022 21:29

Sorry it's been a busy day at work, I've missed so much!

@Excited101 I'm not an expert but think implantation is usually around 6-9 (but even up to 12) DPO. I'd think it could be a bit early unless you ovulated sooner than you thought?

@Gillseybear those symptoms sound promising! I've had a few similar ones (nausea, needing the loo, cramps, sore breasts) but also been really hungry for no apparent reason! I'm also 8DPO, I think we'll know in the next week! Have you started testing? I've been using cheapies with no expectation which I'm hoping means it feels like less of an 'event' to test than when I've been trying before.

@alwaysseeingstars you never know! I got pregnant with DD outside of the supposed fertile window. If it was before the window and ovulation is slightly early it could still happen as sperm can live for a few days

Hope everyone is holding up ok. Another day of the 2WW down!

Haha! Absolutely no chance! Article is clearly either written by a man or by someone who has never been trying for kids! 😂
BuchananBaby · 17/03/2022 10:07

Stark while test more me on an easy@home this morning (8dpo) I know it's early but I'm just not feeling it this month. Had really bad cramp last night and today so I may come on early 😩
