Heyyy I am back in the two-week wait if anyone is in the same boat and wants company, I ovulated 29th sept I believe! Chemical pregnancy two cycles ago so wishing this cycle is the one 🤞🏼

@emevol that's amazing, congratulations on the weight loss. It is not easy!

Sunshine085 · 02/10/2022 08:27

@emevol wow 6 stone!!! Brilliant! Best of luck for your BFP.

corgilover · 02/10/2022 08:28

Woken up today (5 DPO) with really bad bloating and gas. Most likely nothing but is very out of the norm for me!

emevol · 02/10/2022 08:40

Thank you all! We are just so desperate for our miracle now! Flowers

We got married 3 weeks ago, have had our honeymoon.. so now feels like the right time. When we were TTC before, although we were still longing for a baby; I had reservations as it would mean huge changes to our wedding plans. Now that's all out of the way, I feel more ready! If that makes sense 🤣

Woken up today with period-like cramping and very achey all over, especially lower back and thighs! but then again we went to the cinema last night and I honestly got a numb bum SO many times it's ridiculous 😂 I was doing the awkward seat shuffle trying to relieve it - haha!

Beginningless · 02/10/2022 10:56

Wow evemol, that is really amazing, well done to you both and how lovely just married. Really hope it happens soon for you now, and everyone else.

Hope bloating is a good sign corgi! I have been ravenous and knackered last few days but I’m thinking that is unlikely a symptom and more just life…

Mortima · 02/10/2022 11:19

I'm 3 or 4 DPO today, so similar to a few of you I think - third proper cycle of TTC #1. Not sure when to test this time - does anyone tell their DP when they're testing, or just do it privately?

@Mortima I'm quite open with DP when I'm testing for ovulation or pregnancy, he knows what I am like 😂 and he is usually the one asking me to test early! Bad influence

Sunshine085 · 02/10/2022 12:37

@Mortima my partner knows that I am basically testing something all month long 😂.
He is quiet chilled and knows that I will let him know asap when I get a positive opk or bfp.

Wrenegade · 02/10/2022 16:58

Wow so many of us with similar ovulation dates, can I join?

I also ovulated on the 29th, TTC #1 cycle 1. I usually have a 25 day cycle, with AF due to show 13dpo. I’m wondering how many dpo you all plan to test? I’m so new to this I also don’t know which test are the most reliable!

@Wrenegade

The cheap easy at home tests are best to use if you're testing early to save money, or if you wait until day of your period first response is best in my opinion! I'll probably wait until 12dpo to do the cheap tests as I started so early last cycle and it was so disappointing

Hi all, couldn't resist hopping on this thread. I'm 37 trying for a 2nd child and I think I'm 1 DPO. May sound daft saying 'may' but I had a miscarriage in July at 9 weeks and it took another 10 weeks for my cycle to get back to some sense of normality.

So sorry to hear so many ladies on here have experienced a miscarriage or chemical and fingers crossed none of us have to experience that again 🤞 Good luck to us all 🍀

Sunshine085 · 03/10/2022 09:47

Has anybody any symptoms yet? I feel like I am out already as I don't have a single symptom at 5 or 6dpo. Usually I would have had twinges and soar boobs at this stage 😔

emevol · 03/10/2022 10:11

I don't have a clue what, if any; symptoms I should be looking for at this stage (4/5DPO)

I woke up this morning and ached ALL over - especially thighs and lower back. Not sure if I'm just getting sick. 😂🫣

Chaoscontrol · 03/10/2022 10:14

I am 4dpo and everything I feel I'm convinced! 2ww let's do it! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Chaoscontrol · 03/10/2022 10:21

I know it's too early, and I'm trying to not drive myself insane but.. This is so out of the norm for me. I am so bloated and I have constant cramps like stitches.. Ovulation was on day 13 and we tried a day before and 2 days prior to that.. Trying for baby #1 and I've looked into everything so much to make sure we are both prepared I'm not driving myself nuts with the 2ww. 😊 I am now 4dpo and thinking into everything I feel. This thread gives me a lot of comfort.

Cindy974 · 03/10/2022 10:22

Hi ladies

Just hopping on I’m 6dpo and TTC baby number two. Had one MC and two MMC in this last year that we have been trying. Hopefully its a sticky one this time desperate to give my daughter a sibling 🤞🏼 And yeah I’ve already tested even though its far too early and of course it was negative the addiction is real 🤣

sending all the luck to you all! X

Mayfield87 · 03/10/2022 10:23

I'm 5dpo and have had cramps since ovulation- swear I was even ovulating later but OPK's were negative. I remember with DS1 that I had cramps but from about 6dpo and then I tested positive on a frer about 8dpo.
I don't know whether this time though it's just in my head 😂 also have slightly sore boobs.
Going to test this weekend I think, I'll be 9/10dpo the. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

toucanfly · 03/10/2022 11:10

No symptoms yet but only 3dpo. Tbh I'm not feeling too positive about this month. I hope I'm wrong, but this is second cycle of TTC and I have a feeling it's going to take a while.

blueberry23 · 03/10/2022 19:12

6dpo here and had heartburn this PM (I never get heartburn unless I'm pregnant but I'm worried my brain is playing tricks on me!)

Did a test cos I'm crazy ofc BFN

I had zero symptoms last time I fell pregnant until I got a positive test at 9DPO so trying to remember that.

The wait is so so hard!

Positivethoughts92 · 03/10/2022 20:27

I had heartburn with my last pregnancy (that ended in miscarriage) and have had some heartburn tonight (also 6dpo) but I am wondering the same is it in my head lol @blueberry23. I also had some sharp pains/twinges last time have have had zero cramps so far this time! X

Wrenegade · 03/10/2022 22:34

@MillieKitty thanks I will definitely get some in. I’m going to try and wait until the date of my expected period.

I’m quite certain that I’m not pregnant this time as it is the first cycle and super unlikely. Also (probably tmi) but I think DTD every day for eight days left me feeling quite sensitive down below and there was a lot more discharge than usual. I can’t imagine that being a good start to trying to conceive!

Sunshine085 · 04/10/2022 00:26

@Wrenegade you are in with as much of a chance as everyone else being it your first cycle or someones 8th. At least you guys can't say you didn't give it your best shot, blimey 8 days in a row has me exhausted just thinking about it 😂

Wrenegade · 04/10/2022 07:55

@Sunshine085 Thank you for your rational approach! Exactly this, I thought if we went in giving it our best effort and we weren’t pregnant that we could then reduce the amount on following cycles, with evidence that doing it more doesn’t necessarily mean a positive test. What dpo are you?

blueberry23 · 04/10/2022 08:12

7Dpo another stark white negative FRER

I need a babysitter to keep me away from the tests 🙈

Cindy974 · 04/10/2022 08:37

@blueberry23 Im 7dpo and tested of course it was negative 🤣 just wasting tests
