Hi everyone, I'm currently around 1dpo ( haven't tested opks this month ) decided to do a relaxed approach instead. I doubt this will be my cycle like every other cycle that it just hasn't happend in BUT, we won't loose faith!

My cycles are around 26 days long - anyone else 1dpo or similar and want to chat? :)
The dreaded 2ww is here!🤞

@FlyingHighFlyingLow I've taken another just to see and the first one still has the line now it's dried and I can see a second line on the other one although slightly lighter, will test in the morning to see.
I hope its implantation cramps & spotting for you. I've very bloated and crampy too. It's frustrating isn't it. I had flu symptoms when I was pregnant last, that was my first pregnancy symptom, maybe its that for you?! 🤞🤞🤞

Hope it's darker in the morning for you! Thank you, though it's unlikely. I have been told I will likely need help to conceive due to medical issues so it's more likely we'll be trying the required time to get assistance. Doesn't stop me from naively hoping they're wrong though! My aunt has the same issues and was told the same but managed to concieve without assistance.

I've had such sensitive nipples and sore boobs since 2dpo....anyone else had this and got a BFP? We're on 20th cycle TTC first baby and 4 MC in, so totally overthink everything in each TWW x

I'm so sorry about your MC, that must be heartbreaking. Have you been referred for tests via your GP? They're supposed to refer you if you've had 3 or more MC x

Hello, yes we've had some tests although we went private in the end as the GP referral has taken 5 months so far with no sign of an appointment being scheduled with the fertility team. The tests so far showed no clear reasons so all 4 have been put down to bad luck. If we MC again I need to collect the MC material for genetic testing x

Can someone please tell me I’m not imagining things?

Hi everyone ☀️
I created this thread and then my phone went funny.. but its nice to see so many of you joined 😁 yey! I hope your all okay and best wishes to each of you this month for your BFPs!🤞

I'm currently around 5dpo, yesterday had ovary pain when I was out walking and when I got home I had a few niggly pains around my ovary area too - followed by some dull cramps! I'm positive it's nothing though.. I don't wanna get my hopes up 🙈!
My partner has been very moody today so it's nice to come on here and read all the comments. Hoping this month is our month ❤

@BabyBx hello! I thought you'd gone quiet since you started the thread! Hope your phone is all sorted now. This tww is really dragging! 6dpo here and feel like it's going on forever!

@Ks2023 I see a line! Have you tested again since?! Tentatively excited for you!

buckingmad · 13/02/2023 07:02

@SnookyPook I’m 6dpo too! When are you going to test?

SnookyPook · 13/02/2023 08:00

@buckingmad I'm actually not really keen on the early testing rollercoaster!! So I'll probably content myself with manically symptom spotting and then if AF doesn't arrive at the anticipated time I'll go for it then. Last time I got my BFP 15dpo and it was super faint so not sure anything would show earlier anyway! How about you? X

SnookyPook · 13/02/2023 08:01

@buckingmad this strategy does unfortunately mean a whole other week to get through though so feeling impatient now!!

Kate33ttc · 13/02/2023 08:10

7 dpo today. I think I'll be able to hold off on the testing till 11 dpo. It's just too stressful testing early and getting loads of negatives. I only have 3 easy@home cheapie tests and one first response

buckingmad · 13/02/2023 08:48

@SnookyPook I held out till 16dpo with my first but my cycles were really irregular then, varying between 30 and 42 days and I think when I tested I was on about day 35 so I wasn't "late" for my period really.

They're a bit more regular now plus DH is away for a week when my AF is due so I think I'm going to test with a CB early one on Friday when I will be 10dpo. Then we have the weekend to celebrate together if it is positive. He was away with the army on covid work when I got my positive last time so I really want him to be there when we find out this time. I normally completely agree with early testing, I hate the uncertainty of is it negative or am I just not enough dpo.

SnookyPook · 13/02/2023 09:07

@buckingmad aw I completely get that! Would be lovely for him to be there! Sending lots of baby dust your way!

Ks2023 · 13/02/2023 09:21

I’m so confused 8dpo positive test even 2 positive tests and today 9dpo very negative?

SnookyPook · 13/02/2023 09:25

@Ks2023 oh no! I remember your test yesterday looking good. Could it have been a dud test this morning? Do you have another to try?

Ks2023 · 13/02/2023 09:33

I have many 😜 still too early so we will try again

Holly03 · 13/02/2023 11:29

I got a dud test it’s invalid or I didn’t pee enough, I was in a rush mind

Kate33ttc · 14/02/2023 08:42

Hey everyone. 8dpo now and I just caved and tested. Negative of course. Here's to the beginning of squinting at non existing lines for the next few days ! I'm having wine tonight as it's valentines, so thought it would be good to know

Kate33ttc · 14/02/2023 09:55

I have dull cramps today and yesterday
Feels similar to premenstrual cramps but I'm hoping it's too early to be that at 8 dpo

SnookyPook · 14/02/2023 10:27

@Kate33ttc fingers crossed for you!

I'm 7dpo today and caved (madness I know!) so I'm in the squinting/hoping/imagining club too!

I didn’t get implantation pains until I was 6 weeks pregnant with my son, 1st pregnancy though and I went white and felt faint. With my daughter I didn’t get anything but I’ve had a few twinges this month so I’m hoping maybe I didn’t notice with my pp because I was awaiting af and wasn’t trying so didn’t expect missed period

I had pink cm yesterday morning 8dpo. Cramps for 3 days now. Hope its implantation and not start of early af. I'm getting anxious now waiting for the days to pass so I can know for sure
