Hi, I am 5 dpo today and feel the days are dragging. Anyone want to join me here to support and chat away the days. Xx

I'm 4dpo today, it isn't dragging yet as it was unexpected since I usually O on CD15 but this month is was CD12.

Thankfully we had DTD a few times randomly around O date but not as much as I'd have liked and the timing wasn't great. So I've not got much hope for this cycle...not sure if that will make the 2WW better or worse.

It's our fourth cycle TTC, getting impatient now.. How many cycles have you been trying?

3DPO here and oh boy it's dragging already! I'm on cycle 9 and TTC1 at the grand age of 38. We've both had our fertility tested and all is normal or above normal so carrying on for a few more months before investigating other options.

We planned to do SMEP this month but I randomly went from an empty circle to static smilie in 24 hours and ovulated 3 days earlier than usual. Very odd.

I've also felt sick for the last 3 days which can't be pregnancy but it's so hard not to daydream.

Good luck everyon this month - fingers crossed for May/June babies πŸ™‚

That's so weird! Exactly the same with me. O on 12th day and not 15th. It hasn't budged in a year but did this month.

I’m 6dpo. I’m not symptom spotting this cycle. I’m on cycle 4 and always get β€œsymptoms” and different ones but they are never pregnancy so I don’t think of it now. I’ve got some bloods booked to check my hormone levels as I spot a few days before AF (from 10dpo) so worry it’s affecting ttc. I’m nearly 38 (in November) so feel I’m on borrowed time ha ha

good luck to you all 😊

AgeGapBbe · 09/09/2022 13:24

Ohh! I’m 3 dpo and we dtd when I got the static smiley- super exciting! I had my implant out in feb and not a snifter yet but I’ve only had about 4 periods between then and now as I went without cycles for a while and theyve only just been shuffling into place.

were 36 and 56 though, so I’m aware we might have more trouble than most.

Zandasstar7 · 09/09/2022 13:29

Hi ladies thank you for joining me. This in my second cycle of ttc. I don’t have any symptoms at all so far. Do you test early? I’m not testing until my period is a day late as hate the disappointment but I might buckle lol. Sending you all baby dust. Keep me posted on symptoms. Xx

OP posts:
Readaboutyourself · 09/09/2022 13:49

I tend to do a FRER a few days ahead of my period. I've never had any symptoms so have always expected BFN.

I had a termination years ago and had very obvious symptoms from 8 DPO so I'm waiting to feel like that again.

Zandasstar7 · 09/09/2022 13:57

when I was previously pregnant I too felt strong symptoms so I’m in that wait with you. Think is I have found my pms symptoms are so similar. X

OP posts:
allgoodthings84 · 09/09/2022 14:04

@Zandasstar7 I don’t test early as I start spotting a few days before AF so I use that as my test πŸ˜‚ but I personally prefer AF to just come rather than resting early and getting a bfn then thinking β€œmaybe it’s too early” then getting another bfn next day and so on. Or getting a very faint line that I can’t tell is an evap or bfp. The up and down in emotions would drive me mad so I prefer to just wait because if I’m pregnant I then I’ll know a few days later anyway

Zandasstar7 · 09/09/2022 14:29

I know exactly what you mean. I often spot early too. I hate it when you have to try and wrack your brain Analysing if there is a line. It is sooooo hard though waiting xx

@Readaboutyourself It's so odd isn't it! I only stopped the pill in May so not got many pill free cycles to analyse, but all of them involved ovulation on CD15. I even O'd on CD15 when I got pregnant with DD 5 years ago! I always thought CD15 was just my day.
Did you manage to DTD enough with it happening early? I only realised ovulation was early when my BBT had already risen, so was too late to plan around it. But thankfully we did DTD a couple of times (O-2 and O-4). Not ideal though..

vitahelp · 09/09/2022 15:15

@allgoodthings84 I'm determined not to symptom spot either. I've recorded all the 'symptoms' I experienced in the last 4 cycles when I wasn't pregnant (pretty much had every symptom going over the course of 4 cycles) and I will refer back to them when I convince myself something is 'a sign'! πŸ˜‚

allgoodthings84 · 09/09/2022 15:47

@vitahelp I’m exactly the same πŸ˜‚ I’ve had every single pregnancy symptom on different cycles (even a rare nosebleed!) and nothing was pregnancy

Zandasstar7 · 09/09/2022 16:01

How strange I got 2 ov positives on cd 15 & cd16. We only dtd twice on both days just for good measure πŸ˜‚ nothing since I only get a high sex drive around ov. Not sure if I hit it as used cheap strip tests.

OP posts:
Zandasstar7 · 09/09/2022 16:02

My last cycle I too has every pg symptom on the planet and bfn!! So can never be sure. X

We caught O day just in time so managed 3 maybe 4 DTD in the window. I do have a good feeling this month that I've never had before.

Of course it's all just in my head πŸ™„

100%! The biggest symptom I had before was heart burn and extreme clumsiness.

I wish we could fast forward this wait!

Zandasstar7 · 09/09/2022 17:00

Oh me too. It’s the worst wait ever!!

@Readaboutyourself awwww I hope your feeling comes true!

praying this is a lucky thread for us all πŸ€ xxx

Can I join please? 😊

we DTD on day 14 but I hadn’t done a OPK yet as I usually show high ovulation on day 16 and peak on 18/19. So assumed I wasn’t ovulating yet. I’ve been doing OPK since day 15 this month (day 20 today) and all have shown negative but I’ve had stomach cramps for 5 days now and just light pink on tissue when I went for a wee. Is it possible I may be pregnant?

Im thinking maybe I ovulated early? Though didn’t think symptoms would show this soon after DTD?

Zandasstar7 · 09/09/2022 19:13

Hi @Welshgal85 of course you can the more the merrier!
your Symptoms sound very promising. I have zero lol. Hoping we have a lucky thread xxx

I hope everyone is ok and not overthinking too much. I’m only 5dpo but can already feel it creeping in. I need to remember my timing wasn’t the best this month so it’s unlikely to happen anyway..

allgoodthings84 · 10/09/2022 21:55

I’m only 7dpo but think I’m out as my boobs feel a little firmer and heavier (not painful) and it happens most cycles during 2ww at some point

allgoodthings84 · 10/09/2022 21:55

So yes I’m probably overthinking πŸ˜‚

Zandasstar7 · 10/09/2022 22:43

Def overthinking and over analysing ever little thing. πŸ«£πŸ€”πŸ€£

Ignore if tmi but I had a decent quantity of quite sweet smelling creamy discharge in my pants earlier... is that a thing??

im also so bloated I literally burst a hole through my jeans... but that could just be all the chocolate 😳
