1-2 DPO time to TWW 31.10.2022

[Peeonastick22]

Hey hey, making this thread to lead on from last months. I’m 1 or 2 dpo today and I’m going to try and not symptom spot this month!! Also going to try my best to not test until 12dpo at the earliest!

what DPO are you all?

@Emmalou0607 if this wasn't a dream it may be that my dream has just come true 😂

I mean I may be getting ahead of myself... I can't stop noticing odd things! Like the pulling sensation in my womb area has now settled and my breasts were tender last night but less tender this morning but my nipples are very strange sensation wise - like to touch.
Then the smell thing remains I'm struggling with the dogs food - sorry dogs 😂
And DH whenever he's been on a workout day smells strongly of protein! It may be I've just been going crazy but I feel these are things... then I feel fear because oh my god what if I'm imagining it all!!! 🫣

Cooked soft cheeses that are safe to eat in pregnancy
Thorough cooking should kill any bacteria in cheese, so it should be safe to eat cooked mould-ripened soft cheese, such as brie, camembert and chevre, and cooked soft blue cheese, such as roquefort or gorgonzola, or dishes that contain them.

Thank you @Emmalou0607 ! I'm quite lucky as I'm very fussy with cheese and only really like Philadelphia and cheddar!

@Emmalou0607 thank you for that! I read the whole thing smoked salmon and making sure my soft cheeses are cooked through are the biggest takeaway there thankfully! I was surprised at the oily fish and tuna so that was definitely interesting reading!

@PPop All could be good signs, fingers crossed for you! Is this your first cycle TTC?

@Wrenegade I'm jealous of your nipples! 😅Sorry you feel rubbish though, but could well be a good sign, particularly as your temp is high. My temperature is exactly the same as it was yesterday, but at least it hasn't dropped (yet).

@Peeonastick22 I will adopt your strategy to not testing! (Although I'm WFH this afternoon so might cave) - if you normally get spotting at 7DPO and haven't this time then I'd be quietly encouraged by that.

@MillieKitty Glad things are still well with you lovely, I can't imagine how anxiety-inducing this stage is for you - definitely a good idea to put the FRERs away

@Mortima it's my first cycle paying attention to ovulation etc but I think 3rd TTC we just didn't do any testing let it all fly free for a couple months...

Then I figured I need to pay attention and work out when and what as I am not getting any younger!

It is such a minefield trying to work out all the bits to do!

Uuuggghh I couldn’t resist and tested- my method clearly doesn’t work 😂wish I hadn’t- stark white- so discouraging

@Peeonastick22 nooo sorry to hear that, you're not out until AF makes an appearance!

@Peeonastick22 not out yet! Feel like this is going to be a long week for a lot of us!

It's such a lot to wrap your head around, and general admin if you go all in with OPKs, BBT charting @PPop - nothing wrong with going with the flow for a bit though! I know some people just have sex every couple of days throughout the month so they're pretty much covered without having to track anything, but I don't think I have the stamina for that!

@Peeonastick22 Ah sorry to see that, but you're only 9DPO - definitely not out of the game yet!

@Mortima I think DH would collapse bless him! He's got some super intense jobs atm (he has a physical job) so I think he likes some rest 😂 more then me anyway as my work is just office work so not as physically demanding.
I like the tracking just have so many questions I've learnt more on this thread then stalking about on mumsnet for the last few months!

Thanks guys! I’ll try not to test tomorrow and wait til Wednesday!

Are you using an app @PPop? I tried a couple and then settled on Premom, which can chart your temperature and your OPK tests (and pretty much everything you could wish to track).

Can you also put in when you've had sex etc? I downloaded p tracker but feel like I can't input much onto it it has a key so it might be that I want the free version that won't let me input but it would be easy as sometimes the days merge and speed by other drag.

This is dragging. So much.

@PPop you can. I've shared my chart this month.

Top line BBT, bottom LH (haven't tracked this since ovulation as didn't want to waste tests. Purple area is fertile window.

Underneath you can see where sex or symptoms have been logged

Hi, I will join you guys. I am 7dpo and thinking of testing on wed. Was convinced I was pregnant I was last month but it was a bfn. This month I have no symptoms lol. Hate the waiting game

Holy shit guys, I see a second line (for the first time ever):

It's a bit clearer on the Easy@Home - there is a second line on the FRER too but it's not showing up well on my crappy pic. Both appeared in the time, and have link to them in real life. Negative on a digital though!

*Pink, not link!

@Mortima yay!! Congratulations!

@Mortima ahhhhh congratulations lovely!! How very exciting for you!!! 🥰

So that's two of the group so far with positives, keeping everything crossed for the rest of us. It really is nice to have a place to just chat you guys going through the same things

@Mortima congrats!!!

so happy for you

@Mortima omg yayyyy so happy for youuu!

Thanks so much!

I don't know what to do now, they're both faint lines - would it be better to wait for a stronger result before telling DH? I wish I'd caved this morning and used FMU 😂
Not sure if this is a better image of the FRER

I don't know if I could keep it in if I were you @Mortima how many days DPO are you now?

I am gonna go download that app now as this one doesn't let me change stuff... I need a better option 😂 I am sure I can backtrack to the ovulation on 31st?
