Hello! Currently in my TWW! 3dpo I believe! I have a short LP and usually have really irregular cycles but I seem to have ovulated early on for 2 months now! I’ve been ttc for 16 months and need help to get through these next 10 days!

Hi!
I'm 7DPO today!
This is only our first month of TTC so I'm defo not holding out much hope and I'm sure it's all just in my head!
My breasts/nipples are more sensitive than usual (I think.. maybe I'm just looking for symptoms?) and I've been having funny sensations on the right hand side- almost stitch like pain and just a weird fizzy feeling across my lower abdomen.
I've also been getting lower back pain a little?!
🙏

Hi @Peonies94 I'm TTC #2
7DPO, AF due 19th, usually have an 11 day luteal phase but last month was 12 days so I'm going with that for my af prediction.

Tropicana1 · 14/05/2022 18:02

@ilovekittens cross post! I've been getting some of the same although I know it's too soon really for proper symptoms it doesn't stop me obsessing over every one!

ilovekittens · 14/05/2022 18:07

@Tropicana1 Spooky!
Ahh it's so difficult not to look every tiny little thing up isn't it?! Can you remember any of your symptoms from #1?

hello both! So hard to not look at symptoms is nt it! @ilovekittens @Tropicana1 Your both a few days ahead of me, I tend to go through the crazy stage around 5-9 DPO when I imagine all sorts! Will you be testing or waiting for af? I usually plan to test at 10 DPO but af usually arrives before then! So if af doesn’t arrive by next Saturday I’ll probably test!

@Peonies94 I feel like I'm going mad!
Im not too sure, i think I might try and leave it until 14DPO. Unless I have more 'symptoms' in the meantime... 😂 il keep you updated if I do..

Tropicana1 · 14/05/2022 20:21

@Peonies94 not even going to lie probably stupidly early 9dpo on Monday. I have 2 FRERs so don't really want to waste them until maybe 11dpo which is the day / day before AF is due, but I have a bunch of one step cheapies I will probably dip daily from monday because I'm an obsessive

@ilovekittens yea keep us posted! I always say I’ll wait and then POAS like crazy!

@Tropicana1 this is me! Turn into a crazy person who can’t contain myself! I have frers for if I do get a line; but just use cheapies to do every day 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Tropicana1 how are you feeling? I’m usually pretty calm until 6dpo and then go crazy for a few days!!

OP posts:
Tropicana1 · 15/05/2022 08:25

@Peonies94 I've definitely reached "losing it" territory - did a cheapie today at 8dpo like a crazed person 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ obviously a BFN don't know what I was expecting really!
How are you doing?

Peonies94 · 15/05/2022 08:38

@Tropicana1 I’m okay, I’m edging towards the crazy stage even though I tell myself to stay calm! It’s like I’m fine in the first part of TWW as I know not much happens! I only have a 9-10 day LP so then by 5-9 DPO I’m crazy!
that’s me there- I always tell myself not to test until 9 dpo at least, but I cave with my cheapies!

OP posts:
Tropicana1 · 15/05/2022 08:49

@Peonies94 my LP used to be10 days but it's gradually crept forwards over the last 3 months which I think may be due to the high dose vit C I've been taking but it could also be coincidence - now it's around 11-12 days so only 3-4 days until af due for me anyway, which I think is fuelling the ridiculous testing 😂

@Tropicana1 ahh okay I’ve been taking b6 to try and increase mine! Ahh I’m excited for you! Only 3-4 more days! I’m going to try and hold off testing until Friday, probably won’t manage that mind!

Newandreallyconfused · 15/05/2022 15:47

Hello ladies, can I join you? I’m a bit behind I think, 2DPO today. This is our first month TTC and I’m already stressed about the wait 🤣 I’m going to try to hold off testing as long as possible (we’ll see how that goes!).

Tropicana1 · 15/05/2022 20:53

Hi @Newandreallyconfused 👋🏻 I hope you have better luck holding out with testing in the TWW than I'm having so far 😂

H44123 · 16/05/2022 10:05

Hi ladies, hope you don’t mind me joining!

I am 7 dpo I think, got a static smiley on CB last Sunday, managed to DTD Saturday late night so Sunday morning really and then Sunday night then Wednesday. I’m guessing I ovulated Monday although not sure.

Second month TTC, had my implant removed March time I think. I swore this time I wouldn’t be symptom spotting and driving myself mad but of course I am. Stupidly did a cheapie test this AM and of course it’s a BFN.

good luck all xx

@Newandreallyconfused aww it’s so hard trying to hold out! I’m already thinking about testing, but going to try my hardest to wait until Friday! (10DPO)

@H44123 ahh your a day ahead of me! It’s so hard, the temptation is killing me!

@H44123 i had my static Sunday too! Didn’t ovulate until Tuesday though!

OP posts:
H44123 · 16/05/2022 19:27

@Peonies94 I’m only guessing I ovulated Monday from the static smiley Sunday but it could have been Tuesday who knows!

I have had so many symptoms this week but I thought I did last month and got a BFN. I suspect it’s only because I’m paying more attention now but it’s so frustrating! I just want to know now!

Peonies94 · 16/05/2022 19:31

@H44123 ahh okay! I’ve recently started temping and my ff has predicted Tuesday! I definitely think you become hyper vigilant and notice everything! It’s so hard isn’t it! Plus most early pregnancy symptoms are af symptoms too!!

how many days is your LP? Mines only usually 9-10 days so i usually have spotting by 10DPO! I usually test anyways just incase it’s IB! I may even test 9DPO as I bought 20 cheapies off eBay! They’ll probably last me 3 cycles if I’m lucky!

OP posts:
H44123 · 16/05/2022 19:44

Haha I tested today and was BFN of course, I bought some internet cheapies this month, spent a fortune last month 🤣 And we don’t get to dtd much due to work commitments so I know it may take a while.

Last month my LP was 12 days but it was the first month since my implant removal so I know that may not be correct. I never had regular cycles on the implant and I can’t remember before it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Newandreallyconfused · 16/05/2022 19:44

It’s a total nightmare isn’t it, I’ve been temping this month as well as CBFM so I’m pretty confident on my dates… but whether we have any luck is a whole other thing.

We weren’t trying last month and I was convinced I was pregnant - turns out it was just PMS symptoms. Why do they have to be basically the exact same?! So cruel 🤣

How are you all getting on? Holding out on the testing front?

Peonies94 · 16/05/2022 19:47

@H44123 ahh okay! Ah it’s so hard ttc DTD all the time isn’t it! Myself and DH have quite good work patterns for it though! We have been ttc for 17 months though!

@Newandreallyconfused im holding out at the moment but only 6dpo and I know implantation doesn’t occur at this point! I’ve bought 20 IC tests and I’ll probably use half of them on this cycle alone!🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
Tropicana1 · 16/05/2022 19:51

I have officially reached crazy point on testing at 9dpo. Going to test again tomorrow and weds on IC (10/11 DPO) then af due Thursday so if not here I'll use anFRER but I'm not optimistic anymore as I've got my usual back ache / cramps that I get 2/3 days before at comes
