Anyone else 1dpo? Keep me company!

[secondtimelucky87]

Hello! I'm 36 and TTC no. 2. This is cycle 6 but I only weaned from breastfeeding a couple of weeks ago so feeling cautiously optimistic as I think it was wreaking havoc with my hormones. Know it may well take a few months for hormones to regulate but remain hopeful!

Premom has me down as 1dpo. Anyone want to keep me company during what I suspect will be a painfully slow two weeks?! DTD 6 times in the last 8 days so i don't think I could've given it anymore if I'd tried - especially with a 2yo to look after! 😴

@secondtimelucky87 they are the worst! Defo a deficiency aswell or run down. And this the month iv really upped my game with supplements 😂 might ask the nurse to do normal bloods aswell tomorrow just to see!

@Daniki I'd give temping a go! It helps me feel at least a little more in control of my body haha. Bless you, sorry to hear about your BFN. Plenty of time to get a positive at least ☺️ I'm hoping to hold out on testing until Saturday/ Sunday if my temps are still up by then. I hope tomorrow goes well and those nasty ulcers disappear quickly for you!

@secondtimelucky87 Yup, it had my passport in it too, so felt very squeaky bum getting past border control! Fortunately they didn't really care as I had a photo of it and was going back into the UK haha. Think I've had my run of bad luck for now, the universe owes me something good! 🙃

Tiny climb today at 8dpo 👀

@secondtimelucky87 Yaaay! 🎉 Fingers crossed it keeps climbing!

I had a big jump BUT had 4 cans of beer last night so that's definitely played a part. This is the longest my BBT has been on the up though! If it's still up by Thursday then that's when I'll start getting excited 😂

I was so exhausted yesterday afternoon I had to take a nap, which is unusual, but I'm still ill so 🤷. I've had very mild cramps but honestly nothing else. How about you, any symptoms?

Interesting ladies! I took a test earlier and thought there was a vvvvvvvvfl but think just lines eyes, still very early at 8dpo 😂

Keeping everything crossed for you! How exciting! 🤞

Hmm so TMI but I think last night I saw the tiniest fleck of pink after peeing and I never ever have that. But you know when it's so tiny you actually question whether it was there or a figment of your imagination? 🤣 I've also had pinching sensations on one side, on and off, most noticeably today and around ovulation. And yep, completely shattered. It usually takes me a little while to fall asleep but not for the last 3 days.

But I'm still not remotely convinced any of this is pregnancy related as they're all quite normal pre period and most of mine have been bang on 11dpo for a while. We'll see though 🤣 I'm being cautiously pessimistic haha.

Well this is exciting!!! Keeping everything crossed for you lovely 🤞

Think iv my spotting starting, that i get every cycle at this stage 😭 I'm having such hot flashes! It's so frustrating 😫

@Daniki Eek exciting!! Keep us updated. Hopefully just normal spotting 🤞

@secondtimelucky87 I had a dot of pink when wiping two cycles ago and it got my hopes up so unfairly haha. Hoping it's the real deal for you 🤞

@Daniki Fingers crossed it's a good sign and not dreaded AF for you!!

@etaketak1991 I really think I must've imagined that dot as I've not seen any yet!

How are you both doing? Another tiny tiny climb here this morning. AF always seems to come at 11dpo so we'll see 🤞

@secondtimelucky87 Looking good!! 🤞🤞

@Daniki Is your day 21 today or was it yesterday? Hope it goes/went well!

Still on a slow climb here, disregarding yesterday's alcohol-fuelled jump 😂. 10dpo is where my temp has dropped for the last two months I've been BBTing, so keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow🤞 I've had random pin pains in my boobs, cramps and some twinges in my right hip but honestly it could be anything 😂 My CM has finally returned though so taking that as a good sign!

@secondtimelucky87 doing ok, tested this morn BFN 😝 had my progesterone test yest so get the results tomorrow or Friday so hopefully the letrozole helped! 🙏 hopefully the temperature climb is a good one!

Good morning ladies, how are we doing? @Daniki any more spotting? Hope you hear back soon from your appointment!

I got a small dip but not a drop, so I'm still in the game! We're staying at my PILs tonight and I'm deliberately not taking any pregnancy tests with me so I can't crack and test early 😂 Hopefully my temp stays up until Saturday but not counting on it. Had some very strong PMS yesterday which sucked 🙃

Morning lovely, I'm OK thank you. No drop here but I've only climbed from 36.75 to 36.78 in last 3 days so not a significant difference! Just a waiting game now really.

Sorry to hear about the PMS. Hopefully you're hormonal for another reason!

Yeah I won't bother testing unless AF doesn't come tomorrow as usual.

@secondtimelucky87 @etaketak1991 yous both great willpower to not test! Hopefully no AF on way for either of ya. I tested this morn, negative! Expecting AF to come, haven't had any more spotting and I'm quite nauseas this morn. But this happened me 2 cycles ago aswell so I won't get excited 😂

@secondtimelucky87 Still looking good! Fingers crossed for both of us 🤞

@Daniki I get a bit too obsessed seeing lines that aren't there so just best not to test too early 😂 Aw, sorry about your BFN again. Still early days though 🤞

@etaketak1991 in the same, wish I could just not test! But sure we'll see how I go 😝😂

I'm a doofus so tested just now with incredibly dilute wee and of course it was stark neg on my cheapie test. 🤦‍♀️🤣🙈 The pee was basically water though in fairness so not reading anything into it. I'll try again tomorrow. If it doesn't happen this month I'm still optimistic my luteal phase might extend with the weaning.🤞I listened to a podcast yesterday where an IBCLC who specialises in fertility said sadly 11 days is generally really not long enough. So I'll take it as a good sign if I go over that this month. I'm not feeling PMS-y yet so we'll see...

@secondtimelucky87 I read somewhere before it should be around 12 days minimum I think? Took me a few cycles to regulate after I stopped BF but Mine have always been short aswell!

@secondtimelucky87 oh bless you 🙈 Fingers crossed for you tomorrow, exciting! Hoping your luteal phase starts getting longer for you too 🤞

My PMS hasn't been quite so bad with the cramps today, just lots of boob pains which is delightful 🙄 If AF is coming, I hope it hurries up to put me out of my misery haha.

Negative when I tested on the CBFM just now and my temp has dipped to 36.71 from 36.78 so I guess AF is probably on its way. Think it's quite rare to get false negatives at 11dpo. 😞

How are you both doing?

@secondtimelucky87 11 dpo is still early! Plenty of people don't get a positive until they miss a period. Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

I got a spike today, but a) I'm at my nice warm PILs house and b) I think I've caught another blooming cold, I'm all congested 😩🙄 I'll test tomorrow but not ruling out my body being an arse and playing tricks.

Hey ladies, BFN for me too this morn! Iv told myself in out, wondering should I just wait for period to arrive (but knowing me I won't 😂) didn't get my progesterone results back so hopefully today so my specialist can decide whether to increase my Letrozole or not!

I'm also congested @etaketak1991 it's rank I'm so stuffy 😖

Hopefully your AF doesn't arrive @secondtimelucky87 it's still early!

Something I always do to give me hope is go back and check the dates of my first pregnancy in 2020 😂 I'm not sure when I ovulated that cycle but it was at least between 12/14dpo I got an extremely faint line! I'm always like it happened then it can happen again 😂

Ahh thanks ladies. I've had absolutely no PMS symptoms other than the temp drop and I usually start AF first thing. Also don't know if it makes a difference but I woke up desperately needing a wee at 1:30am (which I never do) so technically I didn't test with FMU?

Just a waiting game now but my gut is telling me it's probably more likely it's my luteal phase extending..

@secondtimelucky87 all good signs! Test again in morn and hopefully a good outcome 🙌 even if it's just your luteal phase lengthening that's positive in itself!
Got my results back, my levels are 33.9, which I take to mean iv ovulated. But I'm not sure if it's high enough after been on letrozole so waiting on the doctor to get back to me! Xx
