TTC baby no2. Dpo 4. Anyone else?

From this month on, we are trying for an other baby.

I know that it might take some time, but I have a strong feeling that it happened this month. I had a similar intuition with my first child - I just knew it. I'm afraid I'll be extremely disappointed if the result is negative.

I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way and I will get some support here. I feel lonely this time around- cant really talk to anyone about it except my husband (who is very relaxed and doesnt get that this is the only thing on my mind right now). Looking for some support here!

I'm 5 dpo, I am hoping this time is the one. I have a had a few symptoms but could just be pms. I have had quite a bit of lower back pain and cramping and I have been going to the toilet more frequently today and I never get spots on my cheek but I have one which is random lol it's so hard with the tww but I really hope this is it for you

Hiya, I'm currently TTC no2 as well. Either due to ovulate today or I'm 1dpo I'm not entirely sure as my OPKs are never conclusive (were the same when I was TTC for DS). I'm a little behind but I'll be entering the tww today/tomorrow so right there with you really!

katie2909 · 05/10/2023 10:49

Hi!

I'm TTC my first and on my third month of trying and already feeling disheartened. Possibly around 3dpo today!

Katherina02837 · 05/10/2023 12:11

@katie2909 I'm sorry! It's so hard, isn't it? Especially now with these cheap tests, it's very easy to become obsessed with testing.

I keep imagining symptoms- pain on the right side, discharge etc. Not sure if I will be able to wait to test until 11dpo.
When you all will start to test?

I hope so too, I have also been have shooting pains and pain in my left boob lol

katie2909 · 05/10/2023 13:07

Its so hard. My opks just weren't helpful this month so it's possible I didn't even ovulate which is annoying.

If I did, based on my highest test I would be 3dpo today so will try and hold out until 9dpo.... how about you?

TTCNoTWO · 05/10/2023 18:10

Hey!
I'm on month 5 of ttc my second. 1dpo today!
Fingers crossed for everyone

Chanelle44 · 05/10/2023 19:38

I've been having dull aches too all day in my lower back and lower abdomen I hope these are all good signs for us, I think I'm due on the 13th

MrsP21918 · 06/10/2023 13:02

Hi everyone, also TTC our second. This is kind of cycle 2 of trying but last month was very chill and we didn’t BD much in my fertile window! Currently 1DPO today and already all the memories are flooding back of how long these 2 weeks feel!!
Good luck to you all x

Chanelle44 · 06/10/2023 17:47

I'm 7 dpo today and have had hot flushes and a headache. Anyone else feeling the same? Or what symptoms are you getting?

Hello! I think I'm about 4dpo today, I hate the TWW. Also trying for our second

Katherina02837 · 07/10/2023 12:57

7 dpo day. Very bloated and cramping since yesterday. I never get period cramping so I'm hoping it's a good sign.

Catson · 08/10/2023 11:49

@Katherina02837 how are you feeling today? I'm 5dpo and noticing alot of discharge, I don't think it's still ewcm but not quite sure as I'm useless at working it out. Without being too graphic it's hanging when I go to wipe, can creamy discharge do that, I thought that was only ewcm 🙈🙈

Katherina02837 · 08/10/2023 12:12

@Catson I think discharge is a good sign! I remember when I concived my first, I had a lot more discharge after ovulation. I usually dry out!
I have discharge now as well, but not sure if it's more than usual (it's our first month trying so I didn't really pay attention to this before).
I have cramping all day! It's been like this since ovulation- I randomly get sharp pain on my left side (I almost always ovulate from that side too) but it only lasts for a few minutes.
I never get period cramping so it's strange.
I tested this morning, and of course it's negative. The earliest I got before was 10dpo but I couldn't wait this time.
When are you planning to test?

OP posts:
Catson · 08/10/2023 12:19

@Katherina02837 I know it's meant to be a good sign but it still feels too soon at 5dpo to mean anything, even though I can't help symptom spotting regardless 🙈 I think cramping is meant to be a good sign too, fingers crossed it will be positive soon. What are you now, 8dpo? When will you test again?
I'm not sure when I will, I seem to symptom spot from far too soon but I'm quite good at not testing early, I'll maybe end up testing a couple of days before AF is due, but we'll see. I don't have any early detection tests so I would need to buy some

Katherina02837 · 08/10/2023 14:36

@Catson I used to be good with testing - I did one at 11dpo and another at 14dpo. Now I am a bit more worried, as usually I have my period either on day 28 or day 32. When I have my period on the 28th day, I ovulate on the 14th - that is when I conceived my baby. This month it started on day 32, and my ovulation was quite late, on day 18. So, I should start my period tomorrow on dpo9. I'll probably test again tomorrow.

How long have you been trying? This is my first month, and I can't believe how obsessed I've already become!

OP posts:
Catson · 08/10/2023 14:41

@Katherina02837 literally the same. Just started this month and also already obsessed. We're trying for number 2 too. I can't really remember what happened last time at all, but my cycles are definitely shorter now than they were -anywhere from 23-28 days
