Just wondered if anyone else was at the same stage as me at the mo. First full cycle since miscarriage in January and hoping for our rainbow baby 🌈. I've been (slightly) obsessing over ovulation for the last week or so and I've finally passed that window and waiting patiently to be able to test in a couple of weeks time 🙏

Me 🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm currently 6dpo and fighting the urge to test! Also trying really hard not to symptom spot too

flamingal · 08/03/2022 20:16

Me too! Sorry for your loss @embob993, I am in the same boat! Drove myself crazy in Feb testing and hoping I'd get pregnant again straight away so really trying to stay sane this time around. Currently 5dpo and already starting to feel obsessive 🙈🙈

Rainbowbaby13 · 08/03/2022 20:20

I'm only 3DPO and so bad at testing early I'm in my second cycle trying for number 2 after my first rainbow baby after 2 losses

Good luck to you all

embob993 · 08/03/2022 20:28

Good to know I'm not the only one! I have two boxes of tests that I'm resisting using until at least next week 🤣 and yep, totally overreading symptoms too. Please do all post if you need to chat or compare experiences as is so nice to have other people in the same boat ❤.

Hi everyone, can I join? I’m 5DPO and sending myself insane symptom spotting! Last time I got a positive on 8DPO so I’m holding out till Friday… I’m impressed by those if you who are waiting until next week!
I think our chances are actually quite low this month but that doesn’t seem to have made any difference in terms of how much brain space this is all taking up!

PandoraVictoria · 09/03/2022 08:34

I'm just beginning it - I think! I'm never sure when I ovulate so I'm assuming I'm 1-2 DPO.

Rainbowbaby13 · 09/03/2022 08:38

I'm never sure exactly either I have an app and just go with it but make sure we DTD a lot around the time

lollyx96 · 09/03/2022 10:42

I've had cramps since 2dpo, and tender breasts since 5dpo, sorry if tmi but a lot of milky cm since yday! (6dpo) and also woke up with a terrible head cold today 😷 as it's my first time Ttc I'm not sure if I'm overthinking in my head, I say I'm trying not to symptom spot but it's so hard!! I'm only 7dpo so hoping to wait till 10dpo 🤞🏽

Holly3 · 09/03/2022 11:21

Hi 👋🏼 can I join please. I'm 4DPO TTC baby #3 I think we gave it the best shot this month so 🤞🏼 but also trying not to overthink it! This is definitely the worst part the TWW 😆

Hannahbobs · 09/03/2022 11:46

Hi! I think I am too.. had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in Feb so have no idea what my cycle is up to now! I think I may have ovulated yesterday as I get pain but not been tracking anything. Plus we only managed to do it twice this month due to our 1 year old not sleeping well, and having family over to visit!

Moosh18 · 09/03/2022 11:49

Hey ladies can I join!? I think I'm 3dpo! But I'm not certain! I haven't had a proper period since stopping breastfeeding 3 months ago! I think I may of had a very light one in feb and I had my usual signs of ovulation three days ago! But have been spotting! I did get a positive opk but who knows!!! Xx

flamingal · 09/03/2022 13:00

Hi all! Hope everyone is surviving today.
I wish I could just forget and stop counting days! I am 6dpo now, fought the urge to test with an easy at home reminding myself that the instructions say only effective after missed period which is still ages away. Husband had to hide the frers. We are going for a romantic weekend break (we needed something to look forward to after so much sadness) on Friday so will prob test then to see if I can have a couple of Proseccos and enjoy the hot tub!
Really sore boobs today and odd twinges but have had this pretty much every month since we started trying including times we were pregnant and times we were not so trying not to let it get my hopes up.
Being in the tww is literally the most effective way to slow down time!

how's everyone else coping today?

Moosh18 · 09/03/2022 13:31

@flamingal I find the first 6/7 the worst!!! Least you can symptom spot after that!!!

Rainbowbaby13 · 09/03/2022 13:42

I got my positive at 9 dpo last time but my periods not due until 14 dpo I'm going to try and hold out but I usually fail 😂

ArcEnCiel2022 · 09/03/2022 14:20

Hi all! Can I join you? I'm 3 dpo today, cycle 3 after two miscarriages (first in September at 7 weeks, and second in December at 11 weeks). I want to wait Friday next week to test (12 dpo), but I'm sure I'll test before 😅

Moosh18 · 09/03/2022 14:44

@ArcEnCiel2022 that's my aim at 10dpo!!

PandoraVictoria · 10/03/2022 17:23

I'm deliberately not even thinking about testing because I would def be testing like a maniac 😂 I'm the least patient person though so we'll see how it goes.....

Rainbowbaby13 · 11/03/2022 07:58

@ArcEnCiel2022 sorry for your losses

I'm 6 dpo today and fighting the urge to test. Someone tell me it's too early 😂

embob993 · 11/03/2022 08:09

It's so nice to have somewhere to share experiences! I'm trying hard not to symptom spot as I can't test until next weekend but I definitely have a hypersensitive smell and achey boobs which were my first symptoms in my last pregnancy.. its just sooo early 🙈

OP posts:
embob993 · 11/03/2022 08:15

@rainbowbaby13.. its too early! I can't talk though, I did a test at 5dpo knowing full well it'd be a BFN 🤣 my partner thinks I'm bonkers. It's expensive business ttc.. I've spent a fortune on ovulation tests, prenatal vitamins and pregnancy tests (already 🙈). I got so used to doing ovulation tests every morning that I feel lost not having something to test on lol!

OP posts:
Rainbowbaby13 · 11/03/2022 08:57

@embob993 😂 I peed on a stick anyway knowing full well nothing would show up 😂

I don't tell my partner about my crazy obsession with testing early all though he knows full well what I'm like after our first TTC journey. He said to me last night I don't even know when you ovulate and I just said don't worry we're covered 😂

PeanuttyButter · 11/03/2022 10:06

Can I join guys. 1dpo (I think) TTC number 1, 3 miscarriages last year. I got all my bfps at 10dpo but had cold symptoms and dizziness at about 7-8dpo. Ovulated late this month potentially, so hoping the difference makes a difference.

lollyx96 · 11/03/2022 10:11

@PeanuttyButter so sorry for your losses, fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏽 also are cold symptoms a sign?! I've got a terrible cold which started 7dpo!!

oxfordinwinter85 · 11/03/2022 12:00

Also here with a terrible head cold.

Think I could be 7dpo...but I'm not sure.

Having cramping and stitch like feeling son left side and moves about.

No idea!

embob993 · 11/03/2022 12:47

All are welcome! 😊 I'm so sorry for your losses. I think it's completely normal to symptom spot early and feel the urge to test. It's such an anxious time, especially after a miscarriage. I had convinced myself we would conceive as soon as my bleeding stopped and was heartbroken when my first period came. But I now know my cycle properly (which I never did before due to irregular periods on the pill 😬) and have had more chance to heal
