Hi @cakeislife1234 I'm also 4dpo with sore boobs, I think it's normal post ovulation because of the high progesterone levels. I am due AF next Friday so fingers crossed for both of us! How long have you been ttc?

Sunshine085 · 27/10/2022 15:01

Hi, I ovulated sometime betwee the 23rd and 25th of this month, so day 13 to 15 of my cycle. Did not use any opks ( wanted to be a bit more relaxed) just went by cervical muscus. Does anyone else find it difficult to distinguish between cm and semen? Sorry if this question is a bit tmi but i always seem to leak for another 2 days after dtd.
Have very little hope for this month as we only dtd on days 12 and 13. Usually ovulate on day 13 but tinking i might have ovulated on day 15 now as since day 16 I have soar boobs that I never usually have and a quick Google search shows that it often happens right after ovulation. A bit deflated. Be of luck everybody!

Sunshine085 · 27/10/2022 15:07

@Hopeful37 and @cakeislife1234 did you have the soar boobs from 1dpo onwards or only now from 4dpo?

cakeislife1234 · 27/10/2022 15:28

@Hopeful37 we've been trying for about 14-15
Months now, but in that time had 2 chemicals and an ectopic pregnancy. DC1 took 2 years to conceive so expected it to take a while, but with her I never got pregnant at all and ended up on clomid to make me ovulate. Now I appear to be ovulating but just not implanting properly!

@Sunshine085 mine were just a little sore last night but fine today, so prob just normal hormones! Xxx

thelma57 · 27/10/2022 16:05

Hi @Sunshine085 it only takes once so fingers crossed for you!

I’ve been feeling so weird today that I’m wondering if I maybe ovulated earlier, although it could just be exhaustion as I’ve been working away!

Hope everyone is hanging in there!

GabbyGal · 27/10/2022 17:25

Hi ladies, can I join in? 3 DPO today and time has slowed right down, funny how that happens! 2nd cycle TTC baby #2

Luckystar7jf · 27/10/2022 17:32

Welcome ladies. We are all in this weird and wonderful bit aren’t we. I’ve been having twinges in my boobs but I think I do most months. On our way back from Alton towers x

I'm sorry to hear about your losses @cakeislife1234 . It must be frustrating for you that it could be a different reason this time. It took only 4 months for DS and I wasn't doing OPKs, but now I am older (37) I wonder if that has impacted, I haven't had any other pregnancies, had bloods and scan, all ok. This month have tried preseed and fertility but feel like it's clutching at straws. I guess we have to just keep positive and keep trying! Hopefully this will be a lucky month for all of us on this thread ☺️

Hopeful37 · 27/10/2022 20:04

Ment to say Fertilily

cakeislife1234 · 27/10/2022 20:59

@Hopeful37 yes let's hope we all get BFP's in the coming months!

I'm waiting on an appt at the recurrent miscarriage clinic, but seems to be forever since my last appt in july! Xx

Sunshine085 · 27/10/2022 22:53

@thelma57 thank you. Babydust to you too.

@cakeislife1234 thank you. My boobs are as still soar so no idea if I actually ovulated a few days later. So much for having a more relaxed month, that backfired as I am overthinking everything now.
In regards to your reccurent miscarriages are you taking q10 a Vit C supplements? They are supposed to help with egg qaulity.

thelma57 · 29/10/2022 08:59

Thanks @Sunshine085 ! I did a test this morning in case I ovulated earlier cos I’ve been feeling off but I think it’s just me cos BFN. Glad I did it though just in case, as I’m out this weekend! So defo 5 DPO today (got my peak on OPK so don’t know what I was thinking about it being earlier 😅)

Is anyone on here an early tester or are we going to wait it out? I think i’m going to wait until at least 11/12dpo now, AF is due on the 7th!

Happy Halloween weekend everyone! 🎃

cakeislife1234 · 29/10/2022 09:01

I say every month I'll wait until AF due but always cave!

I'm def testing on Friday as we're going away for the weekend and should be 12 dpo by then. So I know if to expect AF over the weekend! Xx

Luckystar7jf · 29/10/2022 09:21

I am due on 7th also. I will test Friday I think.
I don’t feel this is my month as only dtd 2 days before peak and the first day of peak. Also feel same as all other months no boob pain no twinges nothing. It’s going to be a long week

OP posts:
cakeislife1234 · 29/10/2022 09:23

I've woken up this morning with mild period sort of cramps. Trying to not read into it though as I had this last month too!

I've also had an awful cold this week and felt really dizzy and lightheaded so that's probably the reason! Xx

Hopeful37 · 29/10/2022 10:41

Hey! I am going to try and wait until Friday too, AF will be due then as have a shorter luteal phase, usually 10ish days. We'll all be testing on the same day 🙂

Sunshine085 · 29/10/2022 13:16

I usually start testing from 8dpo which is stupid but I can't help myself. This month might be different as I am not sure when I ovulated.

cakeislife1234 · 29/10/2022 13:20

Me too, most months I say to myself I'll wait until af is here and then can't help myself at 8/9 dpo! Xx

DearieMeWhatsUp · 29/10/2022 13:23

I'll join! I'm in cycle 1 TTC baby no 2, I'm due my period on Monday and no symptoms (and a couple of negative tests) so think I'm out this month, but will test again if my period is a no show, I'm usually pretty clockwork if not sometimes a day early, so then will be onto cycle 2!

Misspotterscat · 29/10/2022 14:09

I’m 7dpo today, dreading the next week as I know I’ll be imagining every symptom going. I conceive plus this month so hoping that makes a difference. Only on cycle 3 ttc but I’m impatient!

Fran919 · 29/10/2022 14:31

I’m 9 or 10dpo today, due Wednesday as I have a 12/13 day LP. I normally spot from around 9/10dpo which hasn’t started yet but there’s time. Will probably wait to see if AF turns up on Wednesday if not I’ll test Thursday. Don’t have any in, well I have one cheap one left but the reviews are rubbish so I won’t use and will wait. Sore boobs though and had cramps all week but fairly certain I had that for the last two months and was BFN so not reading much into that. need to distract myself!

NatalieSF · 29/10/2022 15:02

Hey 👋 jumping on :)

How is everyone? Currently 3dpo on our 5th cycle. First month tracking BBT and has spiked this morning so hoping that's a sign that I ovulated 🥰

Luckystar7jf · 29/10/2022 16:21

Hey everyone nice to see more new peeps. We are all around the same time in our windows aren’t we?
i annoyed as didn’t really dtd as I was supposed to to optimise my chances but tbh I’m sick of doing it 🤣🤣. What will be will be I guess.
I have been known to test around 8 dpo actually got a faint pos then but maybe I ov earlier. I have a FR in my possession that is calling me……5 dpo today so most def won’t be giving in until Friday.
I am excited for all of us!! Fireworks certainly will be going off right if we get our bfps.
I do believe we will have July babies if we conceive this month. My second ds is July I conceived him this time 6 years ago. X

GabbyGal · 29/10/2022 17:39

5 DPO and going to hold off until the end of next week to test but that feels so far away! I don’t have any tests in the house and going to try not to buy any yet because it’s too tempting!

@Luckystar7jf I conceived my DD around this time too and she was born at the end of July x

Luckystar7jf · 29/10/2022 18:56

Hi @GabbyGal 5 dpo here too and testing on the same day. Do you have any symptoms ?
Ahhh did you? That’s a lovely coincidence xx
