Testing 02/04 - Anyone want to join me?

[pinkthree]

Hi 😊

First successful month of TTC #2, have tried since July 2022 but every month something has got in the way such as illness or the cheap ovulation tests have let me down.

Ordered the easy mom ovulation tests this month and no one was horrendously ill in our household so managed to DTD twice during the fertile window

CD12 - DTD
CD13 - Positive OPK
CD14 - DTD

Probably should of done a few more times but DP was busy.

Feeling really hopeful but also feel like I won't get pregnant any time soon 😩

How is everyone else?

@pinkthree that was one of my only symptoms when I found out I was pregnant last time! Really vivid dreams.

8 DPO today and lots of PMS symptoms that are so mild they could be something but could also be my body playing tricks on me. Heavy boobs, random waves of nausea, very slight cramping…god this TWW is long

Hi! Please can I join? 7DPO here and stupidly dogs a first response this morning... BFN, shocker! DTD 6 times in fertile period this month so got everything crossed x

@TTCno1x 6 times! You should have good chance. I don't think you'd get a positive before 10DPO so don't be disheartened that it was negative.

How many months have you been trying?

@pinkthree Thanks so much! Only 2nd cycle trying so very early days! What about you?

@TTCno1x you must be exhausted 😂

6DPO here and scouring the internet for what may or may not be happening… blastocyst hatching and beginning to adhere! If we have successfully fertilised an egg.

But my bbt is truly all over. Dip this morning, still above cover line. But I was woken up at least hourly by my little who is teething, so it’s not accurate. Thought it would be higher than expected though, not lower? Who knows. Also it’s wrist temp, so a proxy to start with!

Hoping to hear about some BFPs soon - when is everyone planning to test? I am telling myself 10dpo is the first even vague chance, but secretly planning to POAS (internet cheapie) on 8dpo to get it out of my system 🤣

@MountainFi not sure if it's the same with wrist temping but I had the same with lower temp after interrupted sleep and apparently your temp goes higher in follicular and lower in luteal phase after a night of interrupted sleep! So it does the opposite of what it should be doing 😅 thought that was really interesting!

I'm also 6dpo and keep telling myself the twinges I'm getting in my abdomen absolutely can't mean anything yet! Busy week at work this week so keep me busy. Not sure when I will test, will see how I feel but af due 6th so maybe early next week?

@MountainFi also 6DPO and honestly felt some light cramping yesterday and was envisioning implantation. It’s crazy i never would’ve noticed it before but just because i think you become more attuned to your body when you are TTC!

@TTCno1x great work trying 6 times! A great chance for you. I managed twice then thought I’d fire in one more go for luck as my dates could be a little off due to last months chemical.

really hoping to hear some lovely BFP stories on this thread soon 🙏❤️

Thanks everyone! 8DPO and may have a veryyyyy faint line, too soon to know for sure though, so trying not to get excited!

Morning everyone

I caved and tested this morning and BFN

9DPO today and got another horrible hormone headache when I've woken up

Morning all! How are we all doing this morning? I’m 10 DPO and think I’ve got a v faint line on FRER - what are your thoughts? Excuse my knobbly knees

Still early @pinkthree don’t give up hope! Have you had any other symptoms?

@slimshadyscousin ooh I can see a shadow of something there, could you tell if it has colour to it or not? All my fingers and toes crossed it develops nicely!

@pinkthree definitely still early, sorry about the nasty headache though ☹️

@TTCno1x ooh how exciting! 😄

@slimshadyscousin I can definitely see a line! How exciting

No other symptoms but I didn't really with DC1 other than the headaches that made me feel sick. I was so shocked when I got my BFP that time as had felt completely normal really

Holding off testing again, I've only got cheapies no FRER

@slimshadyscousin definitely see a line there and indents on these don't usually look that clear in my experience! Fingers crossed for you!

@pinkthree I am 9DPO today too - DPO twins! Mine was also BFN this morning, I think the line yesterday was an indent! I've got some internet cheapy early detection ones coming today. I didn't test so much last month but I am supposed to be going to Alton Towers on Saturday and don't want to go on the big rides if pregnant - so hopefully either get a BFP by then or AF arrives so I at least know for sure! (AF due Friday - I have quite a short leutal phase). These are the internet cheapys I've got coming, they have quite good reviews:

@TunnocksTCake i think so! Easier to see in real life but trying not to get too excited unless it gets stronger tomorrow morning

@TTCno1x @pinkthree everything crossed for you both!

@slimshadyscousin yes I see a line! Does it have a colour in it? Looking positive for you though so everything crossed.

@TTCno1x definitely keep us posted - maybe just different concentrations when testing and didn’t show up today? Still early.

@pinkthree still holding out hope; early enough and headache could be a symptom! It’s such a rollercoaster isn’t it.

im 7DPO and couldn’t wait to test - obviously a BPN, why I test early I don’t know, so silly!

@Boymum111 don't worry we all do it - it's so hard not to test!! I think I might be addicted... haha. Fingers crossed for you in a few days!

I thought my temp was on it's way down so AF was on way... shot up this morning - could it mean anything?! Argh.

Definitely could be something @TTCno1x ! When are you planning on testing?

@slimshadyscousin probably tomorrow realistically, haha! Should probably wait till Friday though!

@TTCno1x temp looks like a good sign! Try testing again in morning?
The wait is agonising, I’ll be jumping out of bed tomo to test and at 8DPO I already know I’ll be disappointed but sometimes I think it’s better just to get it outta the way for the day!

@Boymum111 I am out of frer tests and I don't want to shell out on any more so I'll be using the cheap ones! They are meant to pick up early but I don't think as early as frer?! Totally agree about getting it out the way! Then can get on with your day

@TTCno1x i use the easy at home ones which are same sensitivity as FRER! So I am using those until I get a hint of a line then using FRER as I went OTT last month with FRER and can’t keep that up! But yes I do think FRER show a stronger line for sure. The easy at home ones are cheap and I get Amazon next day delivery!

@Boymum111 I jumped out of bed this morning at 8DPO 🤣 BFN, who’d have thought it 🤣🤣. Out of system now though. Also I think I ovulated afternoon of 0DPO, so I’m really 7.5DPO…

Anyway. Tingly nipples today (weird).

fingers crossed for everyone else testing today!!
