1DPO - Anyone want to wait with me ☺

701 replies

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.

That looks good @Pinkmoon23

Thanks! So what should happen with the chart it we are pregnant, do you know?

PeacefulD · 04/05/2023 13:18

@Pinkmoon23 it's my first time charting bbt, my understanding is there might be implantation dip and then the temp rises back up if pregnant...

Fingers crossed you get your BFP this month! 🤞🤞🤞 I'm just 4dpo, the wait is hard! 😅

What do you use for bbt? I'm a little tempted to get the samsung watch 5 which apparently does it automatically if you set it up. Haven't done it so far

PeacefulD · 04/05/2023 16:46

The wait is so hard, and it's about to get harder next week, but it'll be worth it 💪
Today is only dpo3, can't focus on a lot atm. So so hard. Quite tired but that's probably bad sleep with toddler, having headache. The month I had a chemical, I was also unwell first week, so hoping it's good stuff.

PeacefulD · 04/05/2023 16:47

@xLJ1990x I just got easy@home basal thermometer from Amazon, works well I think

Does it make waiting to test any easier as you have a bit more info?

PeacefulD · 04/05/2023 17:00

@xLJ1990x not really 😂, I'm impatient, but I hope I'll manage to use it properly and learn more about my body

xLJ1990x · 04/05/2023 17:10

@PeacefulD I'm so impatient too! Hard to know sometimes if something is an early symptom or just imagined

This is my first month doing charting, this is mine! I think it shows I ovulated but not sure what else 😅

This is a lovely looking chart! You just want your temperature to stay nice and high. 🙏🏻

xLJ1990x · 03/05/2023 21:42

I'll definitely check it out then!

One I devoured was called 28ish days later by the BBC. Each episode is short and focuses on a different part of the menstrual cycle. There was loads I didn't know so I listened to the whole thing in a weekend. Only a few of them directly talk about fertility

Thank you for this recommendation, I've listened to a few already. Really interesting! 🤓

Hi Ladies,

6DPO - Iv been very PMT ish and snapping at DH for no reason 🤷‍♀️ maybe I'm just horrid lol.

Very tired today and also had a very quick zap like needle prick pain on my left ovary area at lunch time.

The countdown is a total drag 😂

@BABYPRAYING I've felt SO snappy today too. Like I was being very nitpicky all day.

Already feel my brain starting to try to convince me to test way too early. I'm 4DPO

@LeopardLover It would be fun to see what you think of them. The one about first period ever made me think a lot

@BABYPRAYING My first month ttc my app predicted a week earlier than the CB OPK said... so just to check I did a test 1DPO 😂

Heyyy! I'm 4dpo today, also been getting the tiredness. Pms rage/emotional hasn't happened yet, I'm hoping it won't appear this month 😅
I got severe cramping near my left ovary last night which was really odd. Too early for implantation but so bizarre too...

@Pinkmoon23 yes that is bizzare. At the moment I feel quite bloated and like heavy but like period symptoms just milder.

@xLJ1990x haha I don't blame you I would do the same 🤣

@xLJ1990x I started at the end because I wanted more fertility chat but will definitely catch up on the others. The fact that our brains change during our menstrual cycle blows my mind (obviously hearts do too but many of us we know that). Speaking of, I now want the Samsung 5 watch! I find tracking BBT stressful but this would be perfect. Maybe in a few months time!

Loving reading everyone's symptoms! I watched a few YouTube videos last night on early symptoms. I'm 11DPO and I've been feeling symptom-free other than weird dreams but I think that's because my DH is working away. I am pretty irritable so I think my AF is looming.

xLJ1990x · 04/05/2023 20:19

@LeopardLover would you recommend any of the videos? From what I've read some women have early symptoms but some don't? When are you planning to test? I'm planning to test 10DPO if I can hold off that long!

I can't say I've seen one I've loved yet, probably because I never had symptoms with my son and in all these videos everyone has crazy / noticeable symptoms. It's easy to make comparisons and feel bad! Yet I can't stop consuming it 😅

I think I can feel the dull ache of my period looming! If AF doesn't arrive by Saturday morning I might test as I have a bunch of cheap pregnancy tests kicking around. I tested early before I got pregnant with my son and it just made me feel a bit down. So I recommend holding out if you're the same!

xLJ1990x · 04/05/2023 21:04

@LeopardLover I am the same tbh. When I get a negative sometimes it spoils my day. On the other hand the not knowing also drives me crazy. Did it take long for your son?

LeopardLover · 04/05/2023 21:23

@xLJ1990x I find it so disappointing. 😔 Thankfully I conceived on month 3! I know it'll take longer this time as I'm older (& less fit thanks to my sleep thief toddler ha ha). So we're having a casual couple of months before properly trying in June! Although part of my TWW will be at Glastonbury 😅

What cycle is this for you? X
