[Mangotango39]

Anyone want to wait together ?!
Telling myself I won't test for two weeks but I might not be able to resist.

LATE ovulation this month but hoping next phase is long enough (I usually fluctuate!)

I think we DTD enough 🙏

Lmao dog years is right!!! Jeez this day is draggin never mind tww!! Dont think ive done enuff this cycle girls

@Freya8 oh no - why do you think that?
it sounded like you did a lot of BD! X

Being only 3dpo I would not expect any symptoms at all but omg my nipples are so sore today!!!

@Mangotango39 ooo sounds promising!! Im 3dpo too n had a few wee crampys last night low low down in pelvis probbers just aftermath of ov for me lmaoo

Hi can I join?

Currently on cycle 2 of TTC #2. CD 18 and no sign of ovulation so far using OPKs. My periods have only recently returned post breastfeeding and my cycles were never super regular pre-pregnancy so I’m fully expecting them to be even more all over the place now.

Took us around 18 months to fall pregnant with our first, mostly NTNP until the last couple of months, so this time we’re trying everything that we recall doing last time when we were eventually successful!

@OopsieeDaisy all welcome!
Any update on your ov? Mine shot up peak out of nowhere this month, no lead up like previously also late. Bodies are strange!

do you remember what worked well before? 😊
if I don't fall this cycle , I might do some acupuncture!

@OopsieeDaisy how old is your little one? My dh is very much of the view that we should be NTNP but I find it so much more stressful!

How is everyone feeling today?

Nipples still so so sore - they are literally like bullets so unusual for me and could be coincidence!

anyone feeling any niggles?

I have had some light cramping today but I think I am just being over sensitive to every twinge or possible symptom.

That is really exciting for you especially since it’s a continuing symptom you are having. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

When will you be due to test?

Sounds like you both have some promising signs!!

@Mangotango39 still no ov, my OPK this morning had a line but not dark enough to be positive so I’ll just keep testing and hopefully it’s in the next couple of days. I’ve heard good things about acupuncture although I’ve never tried it myself. When we conceived dc we used preseed, loosely followed SMEP and I made sure to stay lay down for at least 10 mins after dtd - usually I’m a get up and clean up immediately sort of person 😅oh and I had started taking folic acid. Who knows if any of it made any difference but I definitely prefer feeling a bit more in control!

@BubbleBathLover dc is 9 months now, we’d be really happy with an 18 month age gap but we’re also very aware it could take ages again so didn’t want to leave it too long. How old is yours? NTNP is hard, especially if you’re aware of when you’re ovulating anyway and I can confirm that the not stressing theory does not work for everyone!

@OopsieeDaisy he will be 3 next month ☺️

Anyone who tells you not to stress when ttc have either never been through it or have blissfully forgot about that time!

How is everyone in the TWW getting on? And when are you planning to test??

I’ve just done an OPK and it is a good line but still not quite positive, it’s only day 21 for me though and I’ve had cycles up to 37 days before.

@OopsieeDaisy I ovulated cd22 this month - plenty of time still!
I am holding off testing till 13dpo to avoid disappointment so next Wednesday . So nervous!

Thank you! Now 8 dpo and the wait is killing me 😂🙈 it doesn't help that I work from home so I'm sat at home all day thinking about it rather than being distracted in an office environment 😂

@Jb2189 omg same!! At home all day resisting testing haha!

I didn't even know chemical pregnancy existing till I came on MN and learned about them. Now I am terrified of that happening so avoiding testing early so I don't get my hopes up in that way.
although does seem can even happy and show on tests around period but it's made me more cautious .

Heyy 6dpo here and nothing to report other than a few stabs in the boobs which were utterly joyus!! Holdin out testing until 14dpo as af due 13dpo aghhhhhhhhh i must not test i must not test

It's so hard 🙈 I have the gym tonight for an hour so will take my.mind off it for a whole hour 😂😂

7dpo and for days my nipples have been sensitive and permanently hard (surely too early?!) but today they are really bad and so so sore.

If it's not from hormones I must be allergic to something as items becoming unbearable - even the shower water is hurting! So strange!

@Mangotango39 snap 7dpo today too! I ooooo urs sounds promising!!! Naw im freakin as mine are all gone now!!! Lmao i act dunno wat i have in my head to happen at 7dpo? Im not testin still dont even hav an urge to yettt aghhhh

9dpo today and spotting when I wipe - one spot even time pinky red (not bright red)
thoughts on this being implantation or possible early period??

I ovulated late but I am cd31 overall - usually it's 12 days for me until period from ov.
eeeek!!!!

Ooh that certainly sounds promising! I would say it’s probably the exact right time for implantation 😬🤞

@OopsieeDaisy seems to have stop now - will see tomorrow as likely come on then if not spotting. Eeek. Wait it killing me.

anything for you?

@Mangotango39 The waiting is the worst! Have you had any cramps or anything?

I’m assuming that the almost positive OPK I had on Wednesday was the closest I’m getting this month, I’m pretty sure I have ovulated as I had EWCM for a few days around then as well so now joining the waiting game!

@Mangotango39 hav u tested at all babes? Im 9dpo too an my freakin lh started rising again this morn n im gettin all bothered about it cuz that can mean i didnt ovualte n its tryin again or my periods on route 🤔

@OopsieeDaisy I would take almost positive as unless your testing loads around the peak, it's so easy to miss! Especially when sleeping!
Ewm is always big giveaway 😁
No cramps but I am not the type to get period pain either . I usually feel one twinge in the morning and there's AF .
please don't come 😫

@Freya8 no I was waiting till 12dpo as really don't want to stress with faint lines etc but it's hard!!!!!
I don't actually test my lh after mine goes down 😮I just assume all done and dusted.
could lh rising again be a sign of pregnancy??
