I’m either 2 or 3DPO today! Normally I know for sure but I ran out of ovulation tests and they were delivered late 😭 I do have a lot of cramping on the right side tho but I’m not symptom spotting!

@Rightnow1245 same here! I think I’m 7dpo today, although we’re trying for our first so very new to all of this.

need to hold off testing until towards the end of next week but its been very hard 😂

personally I don’t drink so I probably wouldn’t but really depends on the person I guess

Rightnow1245 · 21/07/2023 21:14

@CatiaR How long have you been ttc? I think that’s a wise move not to test until the end of next week.. I was going to try and hold off until Friday 🤔 not sure if I’ll make that 😂

I am also not a big drinking but have been saying to all the girls I would have a drink as it’s a rare night off from the kids 🙈 I might switch up my wine for a nonalcoholic one without everyone knowing.. missing impossible 😂😂

Rightnow1245 · 21/07/2023 21:15

*Mission impossible 😂 can’t even get that right!!!

I use the east at home ones from Amazon! And they have an app to keep track of everything it’s great! You get a pack with 50 OPKS and 20 pregnancy tests for like £21

Ordered these today for £16 💪💪

Hi ladies,
I’m already going crazy I’m trying to convince my 3rd and it’s so hard to not test.
I am also in the TTW and either 6 or 7 DPO.. when will you all test?
I have really sore boobs but not sure if I’m just overthinking everything
I have a Hendo tomorrow and I’m not sure if I should drink or not 🤔

I had a birthday party last month and I was 7DPO too and worried about drinking.. I did a test first and it was BFN so I asked for advice on here and someone said drink until it’s pink! So I had a great night and my period came a few days later so glad I had fun!

@Jess1997 Thats my worries I will not drink and then af will turn up… how long have you been ttc? how many DOP are you? X

Jess1997 · 21/07/2023 22:16

@Rightnow1245 I’ve been TTC for almost a year an a half! I did get pregnant in October but had a MC in December and then a CP in march! I think today I’m either 4/5 DPO! Normally I know exactly but I ran out of ovulation tests and they took longer to come than normal 😭😭 how long have you been trying?

@Rightnow1245 Just started trying this month as we decided to wait until we got married and we did at the beginning of the month, luckily my fertile week was just the week after that!

I’m sure a drink or two would be fine, enjoy yourself if you want to 😊

Rightnow1245 · 24/07/2023 10:32

@Jess1997 sorry to hear your TTC journey hasn’t been easy let’s hope we all get a BFP this month 😊
when will you test? I have only starting trying this month so I’m not holding my breath it will happen for us.
@CatiaR congratulations on your wedding, that is very lucky it feel well for you. I didn’t end up drinking as I didn’t want to risk it just incase.. I won’t be annoyed I didn’t drink if I’m not so that’s why I didn’t x

CatiaR · 24/07/2023 10:40

@Rightnow1245 Fair enough, I probably would have done the same to be fair! Fingers crossed for you!

I'm still in the TWW, last week left, been having some symptoms but not a huge amount so unsure, did a cheapy test today even tho it's still too early but it was BFN as expected, won't try again till at least Wednesday or Thursday to be in a closer time to AF is expected! :)

Rightnow1245 · 24/07/2023 11:04

@CatiaR I managed to hide the no drinking well tbh 😂
oh yeah it’s still super early how many dpo are you? I’m 9dpo and having cramps but I’m not sure if I’m just over analysing everything.. I’m due on At on the 31st so I’m going to try and wait until Friday if I can. 😌

CatiaR · 24/07/2023 11:15

@Rightnow1245 I didn't test ovulation so I was guessing 9/10 dpo but another app was telling me I could still only be 7dpo so not too sure!

Yeah same here, but definitely have had the most sore boobs ever and was exhausted yesterday so taking it as a good sign I guess.

AF is due on the 31st as well for me! :)

Fingers crossed we both get good news!

Rightnow1245 · 24/07/2023 12:26

@CatiaR my boobs are also very sore but to be honest I’m not sure what normal is 😂😂 I never pay attention!!
if I had a test I would probably do one that’s why I won’t get any until Thursday night and then test with FMU.

CatiaR · 24/07/2023 12:51

@Rightnow1245 that is true, I normally don't have any PMS at all especially not so far from AF (last month I totally forgot it was due until it appeared, I was surprised! XD) I said I wouldn't at first but then caved and bought tests last week, but to give me some credit I didn't test until today! :D

it probably would have been better if I took my urine from the middle of the night but hey I didn't expect it to the positive at this point.

I don't drink nearly as much as I should either and keep needing to pee! if not pregnant then I don't know what the heck my body is doing ahah

I got a boots early detection test so might do that thursday or friday if I can hold on from testing wednesday but then I wouldn't test until next monday if AF doesn't show

fingers crossed for us both! one more week left to know - the longest 2 weeks of my life ahah

Rightnow1245 · 24/07/2023 13:13

@CatiaR TTW is so painful I remember when ttc with my boys it feels like forever! Yes me either I normally get back pain about 15mins before AF comes lol 😂
yeah see if you can hold off even though I know it’s so hard. 9dpo is so early so you defo still have a chance 😊

CatiaR · 24/07/2023 13:49

@Rightnow1245 Thanks! This is our first and only the first cycle so we got time but also can't wait, it will all be fine in the end!

Fingers crossed for both, shall keep updating

Jess1997 · 24/07/2023 19:29

@Rightnow1245 ngl I did a test today and I swear I see a line but I think it’s just line eyes!! I’ve had no symptoms so far apart from really sharp cramping a few nights ago and a little blood the next day! But I dunno I just feel like it’s not the month! Just tired of getting my hopes up!

OP posts:
Rightnow1245 · 24/07/2023 21:32

@Jess1997 did you take a photo? Maybe you can share it? I really hope it is the month for you, I mean blood and cramps seems a good sign? X

Jess1997 · 25/07/2023 12:16

@Rightnow1245 no it didn’t show up on camera! And I seen a shadow today but if I was pregnant itd have been darker! Af isn’t due until the start of august but I already feel it coming 😭😭

OP posts:
CatiaR · 25/07/2023 12:41

@Jess1997 you're not out until AF comes, but if its start of august is still early to test like me! I'm only 8dpo (estimating) at the minute and still tested yesterday and today but BFN as expected, I might try afternoon pee to see if its any different but its still early anyway. just gonna use cheapies to satisfy my itch.

Apart from sore boobs for quite some time, needing to pee ALL the time and having currently a high cervix and occasionally feeling tired not too much else, no bleeding or anything.

Hoping these are good symptoms since I absolutely feel nothing with AF coming up, but again not due till next monday

Sending lot of baby dust to all of you waiting!

Jess1997 · 25/07/2023 12:47

@Rightnow1245 I’m either 8/9 DPO! I have a long cycle tho generally 32 days! Yours are all very good symptoms I hope you get a BFP very soon!!! I don’t know what’s wrong this month, normally I feel every little thing and I get my hopes way way way up but I dunno I was just so convinced I was pregnant last month and then I wasn’t so I think this month I’m just feeling a bit tired of trying 😭 I’ve seen so much stuff on Maca root and helping getting pregnant so when AF comes I’m gonna order some of that!

OP posts:
CatiaR · 25/07/2023 12:49

@Jess1997 then we are about the same! it's still early so you never know :)

CatiaR · 25/07/2023 12:51

my cycles are avg 32 days as well

to be fair since its only my first cycle of TTC #1 I'm not totally convinced I will get first time lucky but right now is looking like it could be either way!

the biggest problem is this wait, but its very nice to be able to chat with all of you in the same boat :)

Rightnow1245 · 25/07/2023 13:20

@Jess1997 I think sometimes our head plays tricks on us though.. I think I’m overthinking it tbh.. I mean we DTD around ovulation but we dtD twice in my fertile window, so would be shocked 😮 you definitely still have a chance though as your so early after ovulation.. I was going to test this morning but held off because I wasn’t in the mood for disappointment 🤦‍♀️

@CatiaR
really nice we can chat because we are all literally on the same days of ours cycle.. mine is usually a little shorter thought as I have a short LP, it’s around 28 days usually

ttcthoughts · 25/07/2023 13:50
