1DPO - Anyone want to wait with me ☺

BABYPRAYING · 29/04/2023 15:21

Hi ladies,

First month catching positive LH to confirm my ovulation. We DTD two days before but unfortunately not on ovulation day. I'm hoping I'm still in with a chance. Currently 1DPO. Love anyone to join me for the painful waiting game of testing and also symptom spot/share stories of successful pregnancies.

@BABYPRAYING that's good, I think you can too there's definitely progression 😊 pleased for you!

I'm OK. I'm trying not to over think things and not think the worst but it's hard. I'm impatient and an over-thinker by nature so not the best ttc journey! But it's early days yet for us trying. I guess I'm just worried as I'm coming up to 35 this year too. I want AF to hurry up and arrive so I can get focused on next months attempts! 😂

I'm exactly the same as you, I'm so impatient and worry about everything. I think after my first time I got pregnant and ended in MMC it just plays on your mind. I'm sure you will get your BFP very soon. I bought fertilily cup and the gel, not sure if you have tried that but we did it this month so don't know if that helped us.

@xLJ1990x that's great you're feeling calm 😊 I think every pregnancy is so different. With my son I was so sick and for the first few weeks had AF type cramps! My best friend had no sickness at all. And both our kids are happy and healthy. Will this be your first? 😊

My partner got back yesterday, he works away so was away for my whole 2ww which was difficult. So we're just going to relax (my son is at his dad's for the weekend) and potter in the garden. And I'm going to try and stop obsessing 😅It's so sunny today! What about you? 😊

Pinkmoon23 · 13/05/2023 13:21

@BABYPRAYING yeah that's so understandable, I'm sorry to hear about that ❤️. It's hard not to think the worst but it's worrying twice they say! So I try not to 😅. But yeah it can be a tough time when it's all happening to you and your body, it can feel overwhelming. Oh yeah is that when you use the cup after sex to keep the sperm in? I have heard of that, I might try it this cycle!

Yes that's it, not the most romantic thing but needs must 😂

@BABYPRAYING hahahaa yeah needs must indeed 😂

xLJ1990x · 13/05/2023 13:39

@Pinkmoon23 it's good to hear other pregnancy experiences! Yes, this will be my first🤞 not counting the chemical last month

Pottering in the garden sounds good. I've been lazing around outside with the cat. Every so often he decides he wants to play and gets a little bitey 😂

It must be nice having your partner home again. Stopping obsessing is always a great goal if a little difficult! I do find that pleasant sensations like sunshine on skin can make it a little easier

PeacefulD · 13/05/2023 20:04

How's everyone doing this evening?

I'm feeling lots of symptoms finally. It is so odd to get positive this cycle as we did try to make things happen but symptom wise it was probably one of the symptomless months, but I'm starting to feel more pregnant today at dpo 12. Not sure if that is normal. I am really hoping everything goes well, it is a bit nerve-wracking after chemical but I feel calmer this cycle. I am curious to do another test but I really want to wait till Monday, hoping I'll be patient enough

@PeacefulD I'm good. Just constantly worrying and stressing. To be honest don't think I'll stop until I get the 12 week scan. Wish I could though.

My line is still pretty faint but has gotten darker each day.

Also quite a lot of symptoms. Extreme tiredness, my breasts are huge, constantly peeing, my sense of smell is through the roof and Iv had some dull cramps/aches.

I'm out for this cycle. My line this morning was significantly lighter than 2 days ago.
Just waiting on AF to start and then I can start a fresh new cycle 🤞

Kiwiburgh · 14/05/2023 00:43

Top 13dpo
Bottom 15dpo
😭

1DPO - Anyone want to wait with me ☺
Pinkmoon23 · 14/05/2023 07:44

So sorry to hear that @Kiwiburgh 😟.

My temp is dropping today, I'm definitely out too.

On to next month, I'll be here if you want a cycle buddy ❤️

Kiwiburgh · 14/05/2023 08:07

@Pinkmoon23 sorry to see it's also not your month :( fingers crossed for the next one for us!
Thanks, yeah I had a little cry but feel better now. Tbh I had a gut feeling the progress wasn't what it should have been.
Will be great to have a cycle buddy again 👍

Pinkmoon23 · 14/05/2023 10:27

@Kiwiburgh Totally understandable, a good cry can be so therapeutic too. Really sorry. I have heard a lot of stories about women getting their BFP the next month after they got faint positive experiences - there's a few on YouTube - so big fingers crossed for you 🤞

Pinkmoon23 · 14/05/2023 10:29

Well guys I'm officially out, AF arrived right in schedule this morning 😅. I'm actually relieved it wasn't late and my chart was bang on. On to the next cycle!

Big congratulations to you guys with your BFP's, happy and healthy 9 months.

I may start another thread if anyone wants to join me in a new cycle? 😊

Bethpotter111 · 14/05/2023 10:31

@Pinkmoon23 I would love to start a new thread :)

Pinkmoon23 · 14/05/2023 10:53

@Bethpotter111 great! Should we start it now or when we're 1dpo?! 😅

LeopardLover · 14/05/2023 13:45

@Kiwiburgh @Pinkmoon23 Oh I'm so sorry, ladies! 😔 I'll join you all on the next thread. Maybe we just need a slight thread title change so we're all included re timings 🤣 @Bethpotter111

Pinkmoon23 · 14/05/2023 13:52

@LeopardLover thank you! I'm be glad to have some familier faces (names 😂) in this next cycle even though I was hoping for a BFP for us all. Yes we could just keep on this thread couldn't we?! Then we won't lose each other 😂

PeacefulD · 14/05/2023 14:06

I think I'm having a chemical, so might join you on the next thread. Can't believe 2 in 3 months...

BabyNo2please23 · 14/05/2023 16:51

I'm thinking it nothing heard ppl mention indents but never experienced one so not sure if that is what this vvvvfl would be?

1DPO - Anyone want to wait with me ☺
Pinkmoon23 · 14/05/2023 17:13

@PeacefulD oh no I'm so sorry to hear that 😟❤️ that is so unfair for you. Are your tests not showing now?

LeopardLover · 14/05/2023 17:28

@BabyNo2please23 Oh it's so hard to tell, I've never taken one of these! Try tomorrow to make a comparison? Fingers crossed!

@PeacefulD Oh no, I really hope not! What's happened? Could just be testing at a different time / diluted urine? Sending positive vibes!

Applefruitcake · 14/05/2023 17:35

@Kiwiburgh Im so sorry 😢💔

@Pinkmoon23 Oh no! I get what you mean, as disappointing as it is its some kind of relief when AF arrives. At least you can focus your mind on the next cycle.

AF day for me too today but no blood yet. I have not tested for the last two days (since 12dpo) but I think chances are extremely low now. Its not usual for me for AF to be late which is extremely frustrating when TTC 😩

Applefruitcake · 14/05/2023 17:40

@PeacefulD So sorry to hear that 😢 Hope it's not what you think 🙏🙏

@BabyNo2please23 How many dpo? I can see a very faint line but it's hard to tell. Maybe get a Frer test which is more sensitive or wait for a few days and test again. Good luck!

Pinkmoon23 · 14/05/2023 17:43

@Applefruitcake thank you! Yeah the disappointment usually happens before AF with the bfn's for me and then by the time AF comes I'm feeling better and glad to be out of limbo land. I hope you get answers soon either way (hopefully the BFP way! 🤞) do you temp, how's your chart looking? Not out till the witch shows! 🤞
