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! 😴

Morning all. My 2.5 yo was quite challenging this weekend so can totally relate to the wobbles. Still desperately want a second though! But yeah it's a tricky age.

How are your charts looking? I've had a huge dip almost to coverline today but read implantation dips only happen rarely so who knows what it means if anything?!

Going to be absolutely gutted if it doesn't happen this month tbh.

6dpo today.

Fingers crossed it’s an implantation dip!

I’ve had some slightly pinching/fluttering sensations. Although it might just be that I’m noticing things because I’m thinking about it. 5dpo would be early for implementation (although I’m not 100% sure when I ovulated so I could be 6dpo).

Thank you for the responses, glad it's not just me that has the wobbles. But yes the desire for another child definitely outweighs the worry about how we'd cope.

I'm really curious to see if stopping breastfeeding a few weeks ago lengthens my luteal phase. My average based on last 6 cycles has been 11 days which seems to be on the shorter end of normal...

Hope you're all good. I've been grateful for a madly busy day at work to take my mind off things!

I’m the opposite. I ovulate really early in my cycle (day 10 or 11) but then have a really long luteal phase (17-20 days).

My periods have been really light, short and painless since having my son, I’m a bit concerned my uterine lining might not be thick enough to actually support implantation and a healthy pregnancy.

I’m slightly jealous of your busy day at work (never thought I’d say that). My kids are at nursery today and I’ve been doing really boring cleaning/life admin jobs. It has not taken my mind off it at all!
I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of looking at websites that compare pregnancy tests and which dpo each one is likely to give an accurate result (I didn’t finish the ironing 😂)

@Bey Oh I feel the wobbles all the time 😂 I've got a 3 year old and ohhh my, the threenager age. No idea how I'd cope currently if I had a newborn as well, but I guess I just would!

@secondtimelucky87 Still above the cover line and still very early! You're doing just fine 🤞

My chart is still looking fine, but I drop around 10DPO so early days. Managing to actually not symptom spot this month as no difference to last month 😂 Can't believe I didn't realise how I'm bloated for a whole 10 days a month before TTC.

Last month's BBT peaked at 6DPO 🤔 Could be interesting to see if I start to get a drop tomorrow!

It's so spikey though, no? Yours looks very promising indeed! I wonder what causes so much variety in BBT charts?

Hi all can I join? I'm 5dpo today so should be similar to you all! TTC since jan had a chemical in may but otherwise nada 🫣 going for a 21 day progesterone test on wed so that be interesting to get the results!
When will you all test? I try to hold out but I know rightly Il be testing from 7dpo 😂

@secondtimelucky87 Mine was super spiky last cycle but quite smooth this time? I've made sure to test when I first wake up in the night (usually at 3am, thanks DD!) instead of worrying about testing at the same time each day and I think that might have made a difference this time. But who knows 😂

@Daniki Hello! Hope your test goes well and you get some helpful results. I'm hoping to test on Sunday (12dpo) but will likely crack and POAS on Friday (10dpo) 😂 As long as my BBT hasn't dipped by then anyway. Good luck for this cycle!

@etaketak1991 you too! Iv a wedding on Saturday so would really like to know before that 😂😂

Back up again to 36.65 today at 7dpo! Still spiky but glad it's gone up not down. 🤷‍♀️

I don't know about you but the combination of nausea from all the supplements I'm on and then sticking a thermometer in my mouth too really makes me gag! 🤢 I can totally see why people invest in the wearables!

Morning and welcome!

The progesterone test sounds like a really good idea. Hope you get some helpful results from it. 😊

@secondtimelucky87 yes hopefully get some
Answers! Have to go for an X-ray of my tubes next month aswell but if I get pregnant this cycle then I won't have to so 🤞🏻 god it's so difficult this time round 🫣

@Daniki Haha I tested the morning of a wedding back in August! Reckoned if a pregnancy was too early to show on a test then it was probably fine to have all the a few drinks 😂

Resting heart rate hasn't dipped yet but I've had quite a stressful few days so might have to discount that this month. BBT has spiked up again this morning! Doing ok so far 👍 Can Sunday hurry up yet 😂

@etaketak1991 god I could never get into the temping! I have tried to monitor my rhr but I'm not organised to keep track of it so forget what's normal and why's elevated 😂
Haha Il be 10dpo on Saturday so I'm sure if I was pregnant I'd show up then! I had a dream last night I tested (at 6dpo) and had a blazin line 😂😂

@Daniki Oh I always wear a Fitbit anyway so it automatically keeps track for me. Don't think I'd be bothered manually keeping track 😂 Haha, if only you could get a dye stealer at 6dpo!! That'd make things easier..

I had loads of pregnancy dreams in the first few weeks of both my pregnancies. This time around I haven’t had any yet (although I think any dreaming would require my toddler to let me sleep for more than 2 hour bursts 😂).

I’ll be 10dpo and testing on Saturday too (if I don’t crack and test on Friday). I’m really looking forward to finding out how everyone else gets on too. Hopefully this time next week we’ll have another thread for June babies!

@Monkeymonkeymoo haha I feel your pain my 2.5 ye old won't let me sleep either!! Il defo crack before Saturday, in less patience than my son 😂😂

@etaketak1991 must start wearing my
Fitbit again and see can I notice anything!

All these talks of testing soon makes me feel so tempted to test earlier than I said. However I have a really strong feeling I'm not pregnant at all. Last month I was convinced I was and wasn't this month I feel I'm definitely not. Not sure how long we'll keep trying if we don't catch soon. We've had conversations about our age really.

keeping everything crossed and sending lots of baby dust to everyone, excited to read about results from the tests 😁

Mega bloated and mildly crampy today but AF due weekend/Monday so most likely that. Hope you're all good?

@secondtimelucky87 Very much the same. No symptoms other than usual cramps. Feel super tired but tbh when don't I 😂 Today was one of my non working days and I think I'm going to have to test on Friday, I'm going mad when I have the day at home!

Haha don't I know it re the tiredness? 😴

My cramps have eased up for now but quite unusual for me. I don't really get period cramps tbh so I do wonder about getting them at 7dpo. Then again, it could be quite a different cycle to my norm having recently stopped breastfeeding.

The bloatedness is soooo bad!

Anyone going to crack and test at 8dpo? I'm 7 today...

If this doesn't end up being my cycle, I've got a Clearblue fertility monitor ready to go for the next one. Will also qualify for the basic NHS tests because of my age (36) and it being cycle 6. But fingers crossed they won't be needed 🥹

@secondtimelucky87 sure I cracked this morn at 7dpo and tested and of course negative 😂 knew I would though as I'm back in for the 21 day progesterone test today and other bloods.
If she tests my hcg today would it pick up pregnancy this early?!
