How many DPO are you @Butterflygirl23

Gryffindoratheart · 21/01/2023 20:43

Congrats @Butterflygirl23

Butterflygirl23 · 21/01/2023 20:59

Thank you!! I think im 13dpo roughly I don't track ovulation by sticks so im unsure! I was debating whether to start using ovulation sticks lol

Halpmer · 21/01/2023 21:08

Hi everyone! I'm joining the TWW. Could be 3dpo, could be 7dpo because my two apps are conflicted somehow... TTC#2 and forgot about the agonising TWW!

So happy for everyone getting BFPs! I love looking at faint line tests and seeing people's early positives.

positivethoughts2023 · 21/01/2023 21:33

Hope it's ok if I join the tww? I'm 9 dpo on our 1st cycle of ttc. My Flo app says 8 but I know I ovulated on the 12th as I can feel my ovulation every month, tested LH and monitored discharge (slightly obsessive 🤣)
Today I started with really bad cramps in my pelvis just like AF. It's been all day and they won't go away. Never happened before so I thought I would test... so far no luck but if I did implant today, it would make sense that I was negative wouldn't it? As I would only just be starting to produce HcG
Excited to see how everyone gets on 🤞Baby dust to everyone x

PumpkinTruffles · 21/01/2023 22:47

Hiya... also in the tww. Congrats to everyone who have had positives! I swore I wouldn't test early as had a chemical last month. It meant I ovulated later than usual this month and I think I'm around 9 or 10DPO. I caved and tested early today because I'm my own worst enemy. Got a negative, but I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything this early so haven't lost hope yet. I think I really need to stay strong and not test now until my usual due date

BambiBooBoo · 21/01/2023 23:05

@PumpkinTruffles sorry to hear about your chemical x
I always swear I won't test until AF is due but already started testing when I'm only around 7dpo today. Literally can't help myself

Not even surprised when I get a bfn

GoT1904 · 22/01/2023 00:55

Just caught up on your thread and crossing everything for you ❤

Rabbithole27 · 22/01/2023 05:55

Congratulations @Butterflygirl23 💖 I’m 13dpo too and still getting positives so we must have around the same due date ✨

Aww congratulations, I'm due 30th September on my boyfriend's birthday 🥹 I've been awake since 4 I can't sleep so many things going round in my head! I've also been sick this morning

Ahh one of my apps says 30th September and the other says 4th October but I usually have really short cycles and ovulate early so I think that messes with it a bit! I keep getting waves of nausea and also have cramps, a bit like AF is starting which is freaking me out a bit 🫣 I found out at 9dpo and haven’t slept any night since 😂 there’s so much that goes through your head isn’t there!

Butterflygirl23 · 22/01/2023 06:04

Oh really that's sweet we are due the same time! I've had nausea since last Sunday it's been horrible, I took a test at 9dpo which was negative but I don't track ovulation so I'm not 100% sure when I conceived! I've had on and off cramps too but says it's normal this eerily on if there's no bleeding etc

Congratulations to you all on your positives! Woke up to AF this morning :-( sad times! On to the next month...

positivethoughts2023 · 22/01/2023 19:24

Congrats to everyone on their BFPs. I'm now on day 9/10po and this morning I felt like I may have got a very squinty positive with FRER. Don't know whether to test tomorrow or wait until 12dpo?
So far my symptoms have been sharp cramping, needing to wee more frequently and tonight my nipples feel like they could cut through glass. Sore nipples is not a sign of PMS for me as I have fake boobs and haven't felt very much in nearly 8 years 🤣 but wow tonight it's like all the nerves have reconnected!
I've read a lot of posts where sore boobs were many women's only symptoms.
What symptoms are others getting, if any?

Rockyslife · 23/01/2023 10:54

I just feel like I really need to rant I am 9 days post ovulation (I think)
We have been trying to conceive for over a year now, I recently had fertility checks and my hormones etc are all ok, I had a hycosy procedure which my tubes were all clear which was great news as I was convinced they were blocked, my husband has had his sperm levels checked, and were all ok apart from the shape of them, they were a little abnormal, but the consultant has said no need for action, which does not make sense to me!
I try not to think about every single symptom I have during the 2 weeks wait because I just know that I will come on to my menstrual cycle, and I am just getting so fed up of letting myself get my hopes up for it to not happen! :( I just dont know what more I can do, the whole conceiving thing is becoming hard work now and not fun!

Enigma85 · 23/01/2023 11:46

Did you test again today @positivethoughts2023 ? I'm 9dpo and managed to resist testing today but not sure how much longer I'll be able to resist.

So sorry @Rockyslife - I'm sure you know a year is 'normal' but that doesn't help make it feel any easier. How old are you? Are you using opks, tying preseed or similar etc? I'm 37 and it took us 8 months to conceive first time but ended in a mmc, so now we're trying again and it's a year since we started ttc. Sending you hugs and hoping it happens for you soon

Yolo23 · 23/01/2023 21:04

@Rockyslife so sorry to hear how you’re feeling! It’s honestly such a grafting process 😅 and yep, the ‘fun’ most certainly goes out the window at certain points - especially when it appears everyone else is conceiving so easily!

It sounds as though you’ve had lots of tests which I can imagine is a double edged sword because while you’re getting good news.. you’re still in the same position! But good news is better than bad news and a year is unfortunately average 😫 it’ll likely start to feel more frustrating as time goes on but my advice is to have a plan in place - normally after a year/18 months you can chat to the GP about referrals to fertility specialists.. while you likely won’t need help, I always feel that by having a plan, I’m more in control and while awaiting appointments, I have more patience.. I’d think about all the other things you could do now you’ve reached that point - and be thankful that they’ve checked you both relatively early on.. most people have to wait until 1 year before they’ll even do any one of those tests!

im trying to make you feel a bit better with the above but I can appreciate it doesn’t really mean much. Plan some nice things over the next year if you can - holidays, trips out and try to enjoy what you can in between the journey is my second bit of advice xx

Yolo23 · 23/01/2023 21:05

Sorry by fertility specialist - I meant IVF discussions with this professional, if it was something you were open to in future xx

Rockyslife · 24/01/2023 07:33

Thank you so much, when I say over a year its been 17 months, i decided to pay for private investigations as I had a pelvic inflammatory disease when i was 18 which I was adamant had scarred my tubes, i am just getting to the point know where i think i am going to stop trying and just try and forget about it which is easier said than done, but it may help me chill out a little. Thanks again x

Enigma85 · 24/01/2023 09:30

10dpo and BFN on a FRER today, and my temp dropped. Feel devastated, really didn't want to see AF after my MMC, just so wanted to be pregnant again, but here I am.

BambiBooBoo · 24/01/2023 09:48

@Enigma85 BFN at 10dpo here too

Enigma85 · 24/01/2023 09:50

Really sorry @BambiBooBoo - do you temp? I think it's my temp drop that has made me lose hope more than the bfn as I'd just tell myself it's too early to test. Might still be hope for you x

BambiBooBoo · 24/01/2023 09:53

@Enigma85 no I don't x
I've still got my fingers crossed for you

positivethoughts2023 · 25/01/2023 18:53

I'm now 13dpo, and completely confused!
Last night I had some slight spotting/ brown discharge in my underwear and nothing when I wiped and then tonight I thought I must of been coming on early (CD26) as I was having mild period cramping- when I wiped I had gummy CM that had a pink tinge to it.
I'm now 12dpo and tested tonight and still BFN.
Feeling really nauseated tonight 🤢 any advise would be really appreciated x
