Got my peak on the 22nd so I'm in the same two week boat! This is 11th month TTC baby #2 (DS 5yo). How about you?

thelma57 · 24/10/2022 10:56

Hi @Luckystar7jf I’m the same, peak yesterday! Hoping to hold out for the full 2 weeks but I’m a testing addict! Wishing us all the best of luck! 🌙🎆

Fran919 · 24/10/2022 12:02

Hi @Luckystar7jf @Hopeful37 @thelma57 how are you all?

Hi @Fran919 good luck to you for this cycle. I am awful at symptom spotting. Good luck 🤞 xx

Has anyone got any symptoms? Ive been cramping today and yesterday which I don’t think is normal for me until a bit closer to AF, I’m on #2 and the 3rd month trying. I cant really remember any symptoms from last pregnancy (DD is 1) as it was a wait and see and we conceived the first month which took me by surprise. I don’t have any hpt in so that’s a blessing this month!

thelma57 · 24/10/2022 14:28

Hi @Fran919 how many DPO are you? Implantation only happens from 6DPO onwards I think but everyone is different! But if you’re around that it could be! X

Sparklythings1 · 24/10/2022 19:59

@Fran919 third month here for us too and he is 1. We conceived third time lucky last time so feel like I’m going to be a lot more let down than usual if this isn’t the month 😭 I’ve been gutted so far but I think a lot less dramatic about it because we already have one and it’s not so urgent. I would still like it to be soon though!

Hopeful37 · 24/10/2022 20:59

Good luck to you all! Fingers crossed.
@Luckystar7jf yes 9dpo is when I start to think a lot about it, I try not to use the one step HCGs anymore as had a couple of evaps. I have some first response and clear blue still sealed in an Amazon parcel box, keeping those if I am ever late which is never 😂

Nita19 · 24/10/2022 21:07

Hi ladies please can I join you 🥰 I'm 3dpo cycle 7 TTC baby no2. Sending you all lots of baby dust ✨

Luckystar7jf · 24/10/2022 22:28

Hi @Sparklythings1 I fell first time with my last ds so not really expecting that this time esp as I’m older now. Good luck xx

Luckystar7jf · 24/10/2022 22:30

Me too @Hopeful37 i was debating using one of my FR this eve 😂 1 dpo. Xx

Hi @Nita19 welcome. Third time lucky 🍀 hope this is a lucky thread. Xx

@thelma57 im now either 5 or 6 dpo. I had a static smiley on CB on the 18th evening but the easy at home didn’t peak until 19th morning.

@Sparklythings1 I’ve talked myself out of it being positive this month and will probably just go into Christmas not trying as such and just enjoying it, I already feel I’ve failed as I didn’t conceive first time but the first month I just followed an app which I think is wrong and probably ended up DTD 4 days before ovulation so not surprised and then last month first time using OPK and due to illness only managed on the day of ovulation so again not surprised. I’m surprised I got a positive this month as it seemed later than last month opk and even what I think was ovulation the month before. I feel there’s no rush but i also don’t want a big age gap and would love 2 under 2 / close to 2 as possible.

Luckystar7jf · 25/10/2022 07:27

Morning ladies. Do you measure your first dpo day after peak ov? I got my peak on Sunday (static smiley) I only dtd 2 days before peak and first day off. Was intending to yesterday even wore my “special knicker” but dp really peed me off so special knickers were def not needed. ! X

OP posts:
Fran919 · 25/10/2022 09:14

Yeah so the day after the peak I class as ovulation and then the day after that as 1dpo

its annoying when it doesn’t happen but I don’t want it to feel mechanical either so only so much when we’re both really tired too

Luckystar7jf · 25/10/2022 10:03

Ah okay thanks that makes sense. So I’m 1 dpo today. Off to Alton towers for couple days so I’ll catch up with everyone where I can xx

OP posts:
thelma57 · 25/10/2022 16:07

Hey @Luckystar7jf I’m 1 DPO today too so we can try and keep each other sane!

Urgh nothing worse than intended to DTD and then life gets in the way! I think we’ve given ourselves a good chance this month but who knows 🤷‍♀️

Enjoy Alton Towers!

Sparklythings1 · 25/10/2022 17:28

@Fran919 it’s hard isn’t it, I ended up with a bug last cycle too so didn’t think there was much chance. The first time I was so astonished when I wasn’t pregnant but now I’m just used to it 😂 I’m going to try and be a bit more chilled this cycle but if it’s not this time it will end up really close to Christmas. We were arranging a dinner with my group of friends near Christmas and the whole time I was just thinking ‘how on earth will I get out of drinking at that’ if I’m pregnant 🙈 would be easier to wait til after Christmas but that would be me just over the two years I think

Nita19 · 25/10/2022 20:17

When are you lovely ladies planning on testing? This is cycle 7 for us! I've got 1 frer and I'm wanting to hold out until my period is due! But I feel at 10dpo it will be getting used 😂🙈

Luckystar7jf · 26/10/2022 17:44

@thelma57 thankyou it’s very busy here. Yes we are cycle buddies. It’s going to be a long wait. How are you ? X

Hey @Luckystar7jf hope there’s lots of Halloween things!
I’m good, trying to keep my mind off things! It’s our 1 year wedding anniversary at the weekend so we’re going away so that will help!

Luckystar7jf · 27/10/2022 10:46

@thelma57 have a lovely time. It’s the scare fest here so very halloweeny.
How is everyone doing and feeling ? Such a strange time isn’t it. Will I be won’t I be. Really hoping this is a lucky thread xxx

Hope I can jump on this thread! I'm 4 dpo today planning on testing fri 4th nov as we're going away for the weekend.
Sore left boob and odd minor cramps (but think these might just be in my head!)

Hoping for BFP's for everyone xx
