Is anyone else 4 dpo??

We only managed to dtd once as then we got ill and our toddler was poorly too 😩

So I'm not very hopeful but really want it so bad to be the month. I wanted a much smaller age gap but my toddler is already 20 months. Just praying it happens soon

Hi @Butterflygirl23 Thank you ❤️
it’s different this time to last time…I had ovary pain on both sides at 8dpo, thought it was AF although, pain is usually lower down. After googling, I think it was implantation (checked symptoms for ectopic but I think I’m ok as pain has gone). No bleeding like last time. I got a clue when the next day, all cramps had gone…with my AF they get gradually stronger, not disappear! Boobs more sore than usual cycle, I’ve felt sick, but I’d put it down to anxiety (sickness didn’t start until week six for me last time). I have weirdly have kept going ‘Ooof’ like an old lady…couldn’t figure out why. Like I felt full, or bloated. I did have a feeling this time (unlike last time) perhaps because I’ve experienced it before. Fingers crossed for you! Xxxx

Congratulations @Caterpillar132 ❤️🎉

how is everyone doing? @Happyhappy39soon40 @RainyDaysByTheFire You were close to testing weren’t you?

i’m I3 dpo today and had a good strong line on a Frer today so feeling a little better but still quite anxious because of last month. Just keeping everything crossed that it sticks 🤞🏼

AF came today ladies. 12 dpo ☹️, but gutted but logically I know I can’t be too upset as haven’t been trying for long, and this month wouldn’t be the best timing tbh . Still a bit gutted though ☹️

Congrats to all the BFPs!

I started spotting 3 days early, slightly heavier bleed the next day & today but nothing like a period. BFN this morning so think I’m out, AF is due tomorrow though & now I’m getting nausea & the cramps have subsided so I’ll give it a few days, if AF doesn’t come in full ‘flow’ I’ll test again just to be sure but I think it’s a safe bet that this month is not our month & my body is just messing me about!

Bluelightbaby · 19/12/2022 19:51

So I haven’t symptom spotted for months as it’s too depressing when you convince yourself you’re pregnant and then BFN - BUT this month I feel pregnant. I’ve been pregnant 6 times in 18yrs (although only two DDs) and this month I really feel it like other times; I’ve had spotting for one day around 6/7dpo with some cramping, feel bloated every evening and mildly nauseous and sore boobs. I’m 8dpo today (I have short cycles so due AF on Xmas day)

im going to test on Wednesday with a digital early detection test as I’m due to work 23,24&25th but if my pregnant I get pulled off frontline duties and they’ll then give me Xmas off lol

after a year off ttc and this is our last month of ‘active’ ttc - truly hoping these are real symptoms and not in my head :(:(

Moosey82 · 19/12/2022 21:20

10 dpo for me today - had slight cramping, really low down in my abdomen, and cm with a pinkish tinge to it. I don't want to think anything of it as I don't believe I am pregnant but you never know. Won't test unless period doesn't arrive by the end of my cycle (happens to be Christmas Eve).

Laul89 · 19/12/2022 21:23

AF arrived this morning a couple of days early for me 🥺😢
Good luck to everyone still waiting to test! 🤞🏼✨

Hi all, can I join in. I'm 5dpo. Second month trying after a miscarriage 4 months ago. I ovulated on the 15th and my period is due on the 26th. I'm so worried that it's such a short time between my period and ovulation. Like surely the 6 days early pregnancy tests should work now but obviously it can take 10 days to implant so am I ruled out or broken after my miscarriage. I'm so upset.

Hiya, wishing you a successful healthy journey.

Af due today. Hasn't shown up yet, but she will probably tomorrow.

You're not ruled out until af comes, and you're not broken! Periods can take a while to settle after a miscarriage (mine took 3-4 months just to get back to what looked like a normal-ish cycle). Try not to test now until AF is due as it can just cause stress and disappointment testing early. Big hugs.

NarnieJoy · 20/12/2022 11:33

12 dpo today. Not planning to test until 16dpo… don’t want to ruin Christmas for myself if it’s a negative

Ella31 · 20/12/2022 13:30

Is an 11 day luteal phase enough to conceive again.

Ella31 · 20/12/2022 13:30

Is an 11 day luteal phase enough to conceive again.

It can be - ideally luteal length is around 14 days. The early response tests are based on the 'average' cycle (assuming 28 days and day 14 ovulation and day 22 implantation), which is why really you need to wait. I know it's horrible x

RainyDaysByTheFire · 21/12/2022 10:13

No AF yet but did have some spotting on Monday evening and feeling a bit crampy today, so I think she isn't far away. Haven't tested since the 9dpo one as not sure it's worth wasting tests. If AF isn't here by Friday I will test, but not holding out much hope!

Congratulations to all you with BFPs! What a lovely Christmas pressie 😍

Happyhappy39soon40 · 21/12/2022 11:34

Af came this morning.

Ella31 · 21/12/2022 13:23

So horrible, I wasted two tests today at 6dpo. BFN. Stupid me.

Happyhappy39soon40 · 10/01/2023 17:30

How's everyone getting on

Bex4567 · 27/09/2023 08:58

Caterpillar132 · 27/09/2023 18:49
