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.

@MrsP20202 that sounds like a plan! I'm going to try and wait until after the wedding but we'll see 🫣

Weirdly, I've just come to my parents and suddenly have got a bit worse cramps and feel slightly sick, although again I think again it might just be in my head!

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 10:42

@rosecbrm that would be an amazing wedding gift to let him see a positive 😍
I done ANOTHER cheap test this morning - told myself it’s fine cus they only £3.50 for 3 and annoyed with the white space - 🙄 8dpo or 7 depends on exactly when the egg popped !!
but then I don’t know if I would believe a cheap test anyway - this was mine from last month

Not the first pic - that was one from Google I think - I was trying to compare and accidentally uploaded it fgs !! Fat fingers

MrsP20202 · 09/07/2023 10:51

@Scarletthoping sounds all promising!!! Iv only just gone and bought some 😂 I will test in the morning see if anything comes up 🤞🏽 I no it’s early but I’m just too excited I’ll keep everyone updated (even tho I no it’s going to be a bfn this early😂)

rosecbrm · 09/07/2023 11:31

@Tes004 I know that's what I'm thinking too!

I can defo see something on the second pic, sending lots of baby dust xx

MrsP20202 · 09/07/2023 11:34

@rosecbrm stay positive hun not over till at shows ! All good signs so far

@Tes004 omg thats deffo a positive !!! Congratulations, I love the cheap tests they have never been wrong with me ! So excited for you 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

MrsP20202 · 09/07/2023 11:36

@Tes004 oh sorry just read that again (just got in from shopping) that was a deffo positive from last month hun I do honestly love the cheapie tests keep us updated, if it was a chemical last month your double your chances this month so they say xxx when are you planning to test this month? :)

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 11:57

@MrsP20202 yes I initially thought chemical but I had bloods drawn and was under 1 so I’m not convinced - maybe a false positive as I did do tests every single day and it was the only positive I had ,,, strange but such a heartache as I actually felt pregnant - nothing to report so far -
still look at the strip in every direction and every light just to see a tiny bit of hope 😂😂 honestly I am ridiculous- I know I still have a week or so where I can get bfn so why on earth do we put ourselves through it all ,,,, so wish I could stop the mind for a bit - I think if I don’t conceive this month I will stop. Me and oh are not on the younger side and I do have children - so I feel blessed that I got to experience it x

HelloMoon87 · 09/07/2023 12:25

Morning everyone.

@Scarletthoping is your partner away? Do you normally test when he is there?

@Tes004 I also do cheapies before bringing out FRER. When do you think you'll test again? Fingers crossed this is our month.

@JLN88 any updates?

@pinkandredflowers how are things going? Any symptoms to share?

Dpo 6 today and nothing 😂 I actually love dpo 3-10, I don't know if I'm pregnant and the anticipation is there... Then things get tough dpo 11 onwards. I'm even more anxious because of the chemicals, though I keep telling myself that it's not the same.

rosecbrm · 09/07/2023 12:25

@Tes004 sorry lovely I read that wrong too, so sorry you went through a chemical. There's still lots of time left this month though, keeping everything crossed for you xx

missmae · 09/07/2023 12:38

@MrsP20202 that does look promising for an implantation bleed! Fingers crossed for you!!

@rosecbrm congratulations, I hope you have a lovely wedding!!

I am also on cycle 1. I lost my son back in April at 19 weeks, conceived him in the first month. As you can imagine I’m very eager to get pregnant again. I don’t think I’ve obsessed so much about it as I am this month. 🫣
6dpo today and I feel a bit more normal than I have done the last few days. Yesterday I was extremely gassy and I had a few sharp stabbing pains in my pelvis area in the evening and pressure there, that lasted a few seconds which happened around the same time I conceived before. Problem for me is I get no pms, I cramp on the day of af and I’m emotional and that’s it really. So I’m hoping for some kind of symptoms 😭 last time my boobs hurt all the way from ovulation until my bfp. I keep grabbing them hoping to feel some kind of pain but nothing yet!

pinkandredflowers · 09/07/2023 12:40

Hiii everyone! I caved and tested which was very silly at 6DPO obviously negative. I do feel like I can feel something very low in my pelvis but probably just imagining it 😂

Good luck everyoneeee

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 12:48

My boobs have been like a rushing feeling on and off - but again that could be if af is on her way - I’ve had back ache lower area and change in cm but unsure if it means anything at all - would love to be able to check out the cervix thing but never have I been able to and amazed how some ppl can - maybe if I removed a rib and say 2 stone or weight I would 😂😂😂

Scarletthoping · 09/07/2023 12:48

@HelloMoon87 no he isn’t away. We just thought it was be less stressful to wait until the day after my period is due so we know for sure. I’m quite an anxious person so just trying to do everything to stay as calm as poss!

This is our first time trying. But I will do them all with him there because he really wants to find out when I do 🥰 He’s very excited.

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 12:49

So … for the pro’s do you count smile face day as day 1 or day 0 dp0

missmae · 09/07/2023 12:55

@Tes004 day 0. If you have your smiley face you will ovulate (they say) 12-48 hours afterwards. I don’t use digitals I just use cheapies as I normally ovulate cd15/16. So the day after my peak I class as 1dpo just because I always get negatives the day after! If that makes sense x

HelloMoon87 · 09/07/2023 13:10

@Tes004 I seem to sometimes ovulate on the day of peak. If you ovulate on day of peak, the day after is dpo 1, but the instructions say you ovulate 24-48 hours after peak, so two days after the peak would be dpo 1 usually.

@Scarletthoping that's lovely 💛

HelloMoon87 · 09/07/2023 13:12

Oh gosh, girls, my boobs have milk coming out. I had that in my second and third pregnancy (chemicals), so I'm now anxious 😰 I really hope it's a pregnancy that sustains, please pray for me

OP posts:
missmae · 09/07/2023 13:18

@HelloMoon87 oh wow! what dpo did you have the milk come out with your chemicals? Fingers crossed this is a good sign for you!!🙏🏼💖

Maybebaby12345 · 09/07/2023 13:21

@HelloMoon87 praying for you!!! ❤

JLN88 · 09/07/2023 13:28

@HelloMoon87 nothing from me. It’s been 14 days since I got a positive ovulation test and got a negative yesterday. No symptoms at all or cramp just had a migraine that lasted a day and a half. Presuming I’m out this month

Tes004 · 09/07/2023 14:11

I’m so confused - I had like ewcm but blood speck in it and thought strange so I did clear blue ov and a hcg test -
the ovulation came back with an empty circle but I checked the strip and half of it was super dark - darker than I had the other day - I know these measure oestrogen and lh -
preg test is negative but I took a pic cus I thought maybe something like a shadow - altho I promised myself never to consider a shadow 😂

Dpo 1, tww keep sane
pm24 · 09/07/2023 14:21

@Tes004 maybe it's implantation bleed? How many DPO are you?

missmae · 09/07/2023 14:24

@Tes004 i would think it’s more likely to be an implantation bleed than anything else. I’ve also had a little bit of ewcm today at 6dpo. I know you can have an estrogen surge around now which can also cause ewcm! I’m currently having mild aches on my right side but nothing too much. Hopefully it’s implantation for us! If it’s implantation now I would give it a couple of days before testing again. I might test Wednesday or Thursday where I will be 9/10dpo
