5 dpo

[seeyouinanotherlifewhenwearebothcats]

Hi all. Second cycle TTC what will be baby number 4. Had MMC at 13 weeks in May last year and lost our third baby. Put off TTC whilst awaiting results as to what happened and to allow myself some time to heal. Now I’m so in my head wondering why I took so long and everywhere I look everyone seems to be pregnant?! 😂Celebrities announcing pregnancies non stop it seems lol. I suppose I’m just wondering if there’s anyone out there at the same point, in the TWW and hoping for the best?

Wishing you all the luck Hun... Sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm currently 7/8DPO and have managed to hold of testing so far ... Have you had any symptoms yet I've had on and off cramps pretty much since ovulation .. couple headaches and a warm feeling in my lower stomach along with the regular bloating and gassy feeling almost bubbly/fluttery. Hoping this our my month 😁

5dpo for me too, first time TTC and currently on cycle 7.

I totally get what you mean about everyone being pregnant! I don't know if I'm noticing it more because of TTC but it does seem a lot!

@BlippyMoose26 thank you ❤I’ve had some cramping the last two days but as with every cycle I think am I trying to convince myself there’s symptoms?! 😂

@Emmalou0607 isn’t it crazy? Every time I open Instagram I feel like I’m greeted with a new pregnancy announcement. Are you having any symptoms?

Baby dust to you both ladies, hope this is our month.

this wait its getting to me i must admit.... got some easy@home tests arriving tomorrow so will hold off until Weds with FMU although i know myself and will no doubt cave and try one soon as they arrive... i need to sit on my hands haha. thankfully im at work tomorrow so that sohuld at least keep me busy for a couple hours haha

@BlippyMoose26 I know. It's so so hard. I always start with the cheapy tests too. Best way. Holding off to Wednesday would have you nearer to 10 dpo? I see quite a few ladies get BFPs that early so fingers crossed for you!

Yeah my app said OV was due on 16th Jan but had cramping from 15th so could have been the 15th i OV so im either 7/8DPO... So Weds would make me 9/10DPO..... ive seen so many getting their BFPs around then so fingers crossed!!! Then again they say your not out til AF shows so we will see...

@BlippyMoose26 lots of 'celebs' seem to be having twins as well I've seen... I really use the word celeb loosely 😂

Trying not to symptom spot too much cause it's not done me too good so far. I do have slightly tender nipples but then don't know if I've either tested them too hard to see if they are tender or my sports bra has rubbed when I've been out running! Just had a positive test dream last night and woke up having to remind myself it's too early to test!

How about you?

It's weird you should say about your dream... I dreamt the other night I got my BFP as I was getting ready to go out with the girls and for some reason I kept saying 11/12 I have no idea why, but we've just arranged a lunch out with the girls Thursday which take some to DPO 11/12 ... Probably just my mind playing with me but it was really weird!!

I'm not sure I'm in the running for Twins although my cousin has a set, my OH is an identical twin and I thought it slipped a gen ? Although you never know I guess haha !!

Oh interesting about dreams!! It was a dream I had with my second baby, that made me think I should test and it was positive! Hope it’s good news for you both this month. I definitely still have cramping but trying not to read too much into it 🙈
I know what you mean about “celebs” 😂 influencers mostly. It’s amazing how when you’re tuned into TTC that you notice pregnancies everywhere.

Hi 👋 I'm about (guessing) 10dpo
BFN this morning
Not really had any symptoms - which is disheartening
felt a bit down yesterday and then more tired. But not a massive difference to think "hmm could this be?"
This will be baby#2 for me as I have a 14month old

Hi all, I'm 5 DPO too 😊 TTC first timer and wondering if I'm imagining things or if it's really all happening in my body lol

Over the weekend (6-8 days after DTD) I was feeling VERY odd - crampy stomach with pulling and fluttering sensations and sharp stabs down in the pelvis region, this was accompanied by lots of whitey yellow CM and very tender and sore boobs. That's all kinda died down now and I've just got a heavy feeling in my boobs and pelvis, low level ache that seems to move about but more often than not lands on the right side.

I also had an epic spot breakout last week, my skin is usually clear as day. Had a few episodes of racing heart with no obvious cause, and today after drinking a glass of water super fast I felt like the oddest whooshing sensations all over my body, I can't even really describe it but I felt like I was being winded a bit.

Honestly no clue if I'm just over analysing everything and this is all coincidence. I've been on medication recently which could have affected my hormone levels but I just have this weird feeling that it could be pg even though I've got no idea what it's supposed to feel like. I felt like it from the moment we DTD 😳

Done 2 tests already and of course they are BFN lol I'm just so impatient. Forcing myself to wait until the weekend as AF is still scheduled for a week away.

Anyway sorry for the essay but I'm just so wrapped up in this but don't want to mention it to anyone including DH in case I'm spectacularly wrong! it's nice to get it off my chest 😂

Hi @BambiBooBoo and @Patchworkquilt94 👋 sorry to hear about your BFNs. As they always say, you’re not out til AF shows! The TWW is such a cruel mistress. I feel what I can only describe as a heaviness in the uterus but again I don’t know if I’m just imagining symptoms at this point cos what even is that?! 😂

@seeyouinanotherlifewhenwearebothcats

I get what you mean about the heavy feeling.
I feel like there is something in/ going on with my uterus. But I can't describe the feeling 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm just worried I'm being crazy!!!! Or AF is gonna show up and I'm gonna feel the fool for saying that I had this feeling 😂

Well it's nice to know I'm not alone at least! Every weird feeling I get I'm like.. did that happen or did I just imagine it 😅 such a weird sensation! Definitely keeping my mouth shut for now! When are you guys planning on doing your next test? @seeyouinanotherlifewhenwearebothcats @BambiBooBoo

@Patchworkquilt94 BFN over here this morning

Same here @BambiBooBooi don't know why I caved and did one knowing it would be negative! Really going to have to hold off now. I feel like I'm being a bit silly because I have a toothache but feel scared to take an Ibuprofen or paracetamol in case it affects anything 🤦🏼‍♀️ not going to relax until I know one way or another!

@Patchworkquilt94 take a paracetamol- don't stress your body by dealing the with pain x
I thought mine would have been positive. No idea why as not really having any symptoms

Thanks hun yeah I will take one, overthinking everything as per usual 😅 really sorry that it has been a bit disheartening to get another BFN - maybe hang tight till the weekend. It's definitely easy to envision getting a positive and then being disappointed when it's not there xx

Sorry to hear about your BFNs ladies. But still early days! I’m trying to hold off as long as possible. 8 dpo today but honestly cramping so much this evening as if AF is about to arrive.
Paracetamol is fine to take in pregnancy so I agree, take it and rest up! Xx

Hi ladies, any updates from anyone? Another BFN for me today, 4 days before AF is due. Giving up hope now and presuming all my strange symptoms were as a result of recent meds. It's a shame as I was pretty convinced this time last week! Hope you've had better luck?

@Patchworkquilt94 sorry to hear your BFN. Could still be too early? I’m 10 dpo now and I’m resisting resting. But - tmi- I’ve zero cm to speak of. Like totally dry. Can’t remember with previous pregnancies but from googling that doesn’t seem to be an indicator of a BFP

*testing that should say! 🙄

I admire your willpower for holding off testing for so long, i wish I'd waited tbh 😅 it's funny you should say that about cm. I definitely had an increased amount about a week ago and I thought it had died down a bit, having lost hope after my BFN this morning I kind of put everything out of my head, but I've just had a bunch of thick white cm turn up in my knickers (sorry for TMI) out of nowhere. Now I'm properly confused loool. But going to follow your lead and try not to read into too much over the next few days and wait for things to be confirmed by AF!

Oooh that sounds promising! You can do it lol Doesn’t it sometimes feel like our bodies are trolling us when TTC?! I now feel like AF is about to start and if it does it’ll be 5 days early?! Wtf. Last cycle I was 2 days late but stark BFNs

Hahaha honestly @seeyouinanotherlifewhenwearebothcats I kid you not.. AF came last night with a vengeance!! 😭🙄😅 So you couldn't be more right - I got trolled big time! 4 days early wtf... I mean at least she put me out my misery, but come on!! Anyways maybe when it actually happens for me I will have zero symptoms instead of every one in the book like I had this time 😂 who knows! If you don't laugh you cry eh...
