8dpo and a vvvvvvv faint indent on a cheapie this am that I've been squinting at all morning but is definitely an indent 😂 can't help myself early testing!

@Tropicana1 why is squinting at them so satisfying though 😂

I think I'm heading for a chemical as spotting starting now, 4 days after period due. Not going to test for a few days to make sure pregnancy is out of my system.
I'm no stranger to these as I've had chemicals and an MC before my DD. Knew it would be too lucky to fall on the first month. Not bringing back nice memories either from our struggles first time around. Oh well!
Wishing you all luck and hoping these in the TWW see a BFP soon ☺️

@Theawkwardblonde I'm really sorry to hear that 😔 I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will be Ok x

@Dreamingof3 literally been doing it non stop all day 😂

@Theawkwardblonde sorry to hear about the spotting - fingers crossed it's just early pregnancy spotting not a chemical

Sorry to hear @Theawkwardblonde 😞

I've been waking up at 3am, which I think was my first symptom when I has my chemical back in January, I hope that's what it is and it sticks this time. Very weird dream last night, said to my partner "next cycle, it'll happen".
I also have a very sore throat but not sure if that's because I'm getting sick or not.

It's definitely a no from me. Very bad cramping and bleeding started in the night 😞 AF the heaviest and most painful it's been in a long time.

Ah sorry @Theawkwardblonde

No line for me this morning on cheapie so yesterday was defo an indent! Sore boobs this morning (9dpo) which I don't normally get

I'm sorry @Theawkwardblonde 😞

@Tropicana1 I'm sure my boobs are sore but also can't rule out that I'm imagining it! Just a wait and see game now I think, I don't want to test and get disappointed

@Gizzy93 a sore throat was my first symptom at 9DPO and I got my BFP 2 days later!

My scrambled eggs aren't sitting too nicely today...I'm hoping it's a good sign as egg is always the first thing I go off of in pregnancy 😅

Or I'm just really clinging to anything I can 🤷‍♀️

I hope so @Nyxxie, but as the night goes on, I'm getting a bit of a cough so I think it's a cold unfortunately

I’m using OPKs this month and think I’ll probably get my peak tonight/tomorrow. When is the best time to DTD? We’ll probably dtd both days but curious when the most likely time is to get pregnant whether it’s before/after or when you get your peak?
i should know this from number one but I’ve forgotten everything 😂

Also interested to know this as all the info is a bit confusing to me!

@Theawkwardblonde really sorry to hear. Hope you're doing ok.

@tryingtryinggone peak opk is the LH surge which can be anywhere between 24-48hrs before ovulation. The egg doesn't survive long after ovulation usually around 12-24 hours but apparently best / most successful fertilisation occurs within the first 4-6hrs after ovulation which is why having sperm already in the fallopain tubes just before ovulation is best (so day of LH surge definitely if you can)

@Tropicana1 ah fab, thank you for the info!

@Theawkwardblonde I hope you’re doing okay x

Could I be added to this thread for July? I'm 32 and would be trying for #1

@seainsummer not long to go for you then!

I feel quite cramps tonight so I think af will be here Monday as expected 🙃

@WingingIt09 @Theawkwardblonde so sorry to you both ❤

Fingers crossed for the rest of you trying

May I join? TTC our second DC, 6 whole years after our first (was adamant he'd be an only for a long, long time, but turned 33 earlier this year and changed my mind). I just said this on another thread but I've had unprotected sex 3 times in my life and 3 times I've got pregnant (termination as a teenager, MC before DC1, then immediate conception of DC1 after MC).

Cycle day 1 was 19 May, AF due Wednesday. Not 100% when I ovulated and didn't DTD much this month as DH was away. In any case I did a FRER today and it was a definite BFN, so I assume I'm probably out. I can't remember totally as it was so long ago now but I'm sure with DC1 I tested positive pretty early on.

I'm joining in.. not started TTC yet but plans are afoot for either July or August. Will be number 2, and my first is 3.5 now. I have no idea what any of the ovulation acronyms stand for as got pregnant first month of properly trying (lucky I know)!! But, I was 31 then and 35 now so not assuming it will be so easy 2nd time around.

BFN again today, woke up at 3am again still a very sore throat and no other signs of a cold. I've got a little cough, but I think that's because my throat is irritated and not coming from my lungs.

Man I want this so bad. I know it never happens on the first month, but it would be nice

How many DPO are you gizzy?
