Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

Welcome @cth96 @Maybebaby12345 how long have you been TTC? Is it for #1?

Thank you! Officially three months for baby number 1.

So much of TTC is waiting and I am not a particularly patient person 😂

Maybebaby12345 · 06/07/2023 13:07

@cth96 ttc will turn the most patient of people into calendar watching nuts!!!! I'm very level headed apart from when I'm ttc 🤣

longingtobe23 · 06/07/2023 14:20

5dpo and not feeling anything yet but right there with you ladies 🥲🤞🏻

it’s the toughest wait ever …

HelloMoon87 · 06/07/2023 14:36

Dpo 3 only! Nauseous and headachy this afternoon, which is unusual but also definitely can happen.
I'm quite calm so far, but reckon around dpo 8/9 will start symptom spotting. Bring on the weekend and busy times! Somehow work days seem to go slower...

Hi everyone! I’m 35 and trying for #2 and I have a nearly two year old boy. First cycle trying for a sibling. I’m on 9 or 10 dpo. Had a bit of mild cramp or tingling ( although don’t think that properly describes it) yest and a bit today. Think I might test tomorrow or Saturday

I've been feeling nauseous too. It's gross. As this is my first month off contraception i have literally no idea what my normal cycle feels like, so I suppose it's interesting to track and see what goes on for me in case it's a pattern. I'm absolutely not doing a test unless my period seems properly late so 10 more days minimum!) but I keep just noticing how slow the days pass 😳

Tes004 · 06/07/2023 19:38

I had some spotting today - very tiny light brown cm then nothing - so 5-6dpo would be early for ib but possible - having said that I remember having this on a bfn cycle so maybe something maybe nothing as all the symptoms I will tick off over the next 10 days !!! Arhhhhhhh !!!
love reading about you all tho - makes me keep a little more normal or stops me going to dr Google again 😂😂😂😂

DH said he is also feeling nauseous, so that put the theory to end 🙈
I also won't test until AF due. Are you testing next Sunday by any chance? Let's keep strong and keep each other motivated to not test 😂

Hey ladies, I’d like to join to try and keep sane... who am I kidding? Currently 3dpo and I’m hating this 2ww already. Will be baby no.1 but I have had pregnancies before.
Had ov pains on Monday from the right side all day. Today dull achey feeling in lower abdomen most the day, but I know it’s too soon for anything 😭 it’s driving me mad. Also v tired today!

Tes004 · 06/07/2023 20:56

@missmae I had ov pains 2 days after my peak so I wondered what was going on there ! Wishing the next 2 weeks away lol ! But welcome to the madhouse 😜

JLN88 · 06/07/2023 21:13

@missmae it’s a vicious circle TTC. Always tell myself not to think about it and go about my days as normal but it never happens.

JLN88 · 06/07/2023 21:14

Still got faint cramps at the mo. Pretty sure I’m 10 dpo tomorrow

missmae · 06/07/2023 21:33

@Tes004 this house is suited for me then 😂. Yeah I was wondering if what I was feeling was ov pains but I know i definitely ovulated Monday 🤔. But same I need to try and keep busy 😫. My sister has just found out she is pregnant 2 days ago! Would be awesome if we were at the same time 🥹.

@JLN88 yep literally. Sat googling the same stuff I Google every time. I feel like I have a PhD in TTC 😂.

HelloMoon87 · 06/07/2023 21:47

@JLN88 are you going to test soon? Dpo 10 is when my limits are usually tested. If I remember correctly, usually for me, peeing lots, insomnia and tiredness are usually good signs. I get positives from dpo 11, but stark white dpo 10. Everyone is different though, I know some friends didn't know they were pregnant until week 6 and didn't test till then, I'm like "how girl?!" Some get early positives, some positives at dpo 14-15 only. All different

@HelloMoon87 yeah going to test either today or tomorrow. Ordered a pack of tests from Amazon that will be delivered today but I’m not sure if to wait till fmu tomorrow morning. When is best time to test? Maybe just hold my pee for a couple hours today when it’s arrived.

missmae · 07/07/2023 07:39

Morning ladies. So 4dpo today, left nostril is blocked and I’m kind of stuffy like a cold. I don’t want to get my hopes up but this happened at 5dpo for me last time when I was pregnant 🥺

pinkandredflowers · 07/07/2023 14:52

I'm also 4dpo and already itching to test!! How long are people waiting?

@missmae ooh I've heard that is a positive sign toward pregnancy! Good luck

missmae · 07/07/2023 15:08

@pinkandredflowers yes it was for my last pregnancy so 🥹 I’m going to wait until maybe 10dpo and see 😭

pm24 · 07/07/2023 17:09

@pinkandredflowers well I just got the results back for my day 21 progesterone test and it's 52nmol which means I ovulated! Not feeling any symptoms other than a dull ache in lower abdomen, very similar to PMS cramps. Don't want to test as I'm only 4/5dpo but also I think I'm scared to test end of!! My last pregnancy which ended in a MC I tested at 12dpo but I also had more prominent symptoms!

I would say we should make a pact and not test until 10-12dpo but I equally know just how easy it will be to break it! Ha ha

pm24 · 07/07/2023 17:10

We should ALL* make a pact...

Maybebaby12345 · 07/07/2023 17:36

I'm only 6dpo and I tested so ive broken it already 🤦‍♀️ of course it was negative and of course I swear I see a hint of a line and of course I don't actually 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

JLN88 · 07/07/2023 17:57

I tested about an hour ago and it was negative. 10 dpo and it wasn’t an early response that I got which is annoying. Got headache today though and that generally happens before getting my period.

Tes004 · 07/07/2023 18:30

@pm24 at least you know you ovulated.
fingers crossed we can all light up this chat with some bfp pics ! I’m only 5-6dpo so won’t test although I want to even though I know I’d see a bfn !! Madness -
mum starting to think maybe I shoulda dtd more after static smiley - I had brown spotting all completely stopped and was only when I wiped a couple of times - can ov bleed be that late - I know poss ib but then also know I’ve seen it before in a previous cycle -
arhhhhhhh not even a week in and I’m exhausted with thinking too much x

pm24 · 07/07/2023 19:02

@Maybebaby12345 don't worry, I don't think I would have lasted either. I always put the xray filter on to triple check that I haven't missed a faint line! After a while I think my brain just makes one up!

@JLN88 it's not over till AF arrives so have everything crossed for you!

@Tes004 ooo that could be IB if it didn't last very long. Hopefully your OH has hit the mark this time! It really is exhausting, even after I symptom check on google, I'll check in other forums. Sometimes I wish there was something that could make you forget in this TWW!

I have everything crossed for you all!! Flowers xxx

Maybebaby12345 · 07/07/2023 19:45

@pm24 I have what I call the early testing dance, which I do every month and involves squinting, holding it up in the light, taking photos, laying it on a white sheet of paper. It's so ridiculous but yet I do it every month!!!
