Cycle 3 of TTC our second, I should now be 2DPO.

This month because the TWW was so all consuming last time, I am knitting a scarf 😂 and thankfully work is quite busy for me at the moment.

How do you all distract yourself?

Hi,

I think I'm 4po so I'll join you. I love knitting and crocheting and reading. Currently on holiday ❤️

Hopeful98 · 30/10/2023 13:18

I'm on DPO10, are you both only going to test if AF doesn't come on due date? I'm trying to hold off for as long as I can to prolong any disappointment!

Beccylou94 · 30/10/2023 15:14

I'm going to try and wait. My tracking app thought I ovulated earlier in the month so when af was due I tested and faint line but now my app changed its mind and said I ovulated a few days ago instead

zobodo · 30/10/2023 15:34

@Beccylou94 @Hopeful98 welcome!

I’m planning to wait until at least 12DPO as my luteal phase tends to be 12 days long (day 16 ov and 27-28 day cycle) and this is also when I got a solid positive with my first.

I did early testing the last couple of cycles and it just made the disappointment worse for me, personally. So I’m turning to hobbies to get me through 😂

Hiya! 4dpo here and TTC #1

we’ve been trying for 4 months now so I’d rather just wait for my temp drop/AF arrival than to test and be more disappointing although its hard a times! Works been busy so I think I’ll manage and got tomorrow off for my birthday so gotta enjoy that 😊

fingers crossed for everyone!

TTCNoTWO · 30/10/2023 20:06

Oo can I join please?

I'm 2dpo, ttc baby number 2! On my 6th month of trying. 🩵

zobodo · 30/10/2023 20:17

@CatiaR welcome! It’s much easier when life is a bit busy, isn’t it?! Fingers crossed for us all that it’s our month!

@TTCNoTWO of course you can! Sounds like we’re at the same point, although only 3rd month trying for me so far. Sending baby dust to you! ☺️

TwinkleStarrr · 31/10/2023 02:32

Can I join in ? 7 dpo today
I m 38 and we re ttc for our #2
Baby dust to everyone 💫

TTCNoTWO · 31/10/2023 06:32

@zobodo baby dust to you too! How old is your first? I wish we had started trying sooner, my little boy is 2 and a half.
3dpo today, going to be a long 2 weeks! 🩵

zobodo · 31/10/2023 08:29

@TwinkleStarrr welcome in!

@TTCNoTWO my little boy is 2 in December. It does feel like the longest two weeks ever doesn’t it.

The key is to keep busy! So far I’ve knitted half a scarf and sold some stuff on vinted 😂

zobodo · 04/11/2023 15:34

@Beccylou94 @CatiaR @Hopeful98 @TTCNoTWO hope you’re all getting along okay!

7DPO and somehow feels like this TWW is going fairly quickly for me, mostly because work has been so busy and we’ve had lots of plans! Feeling hopeful but trying to remain very neutral. It’s felt a lot less consuming this cycle. Not experiencing any unusual symptoms but I also didn’t when I was successful the first time, so just going with the flow.

OP posts:
TTCNoTWO · 04/11/2023 15:39

@zobodo Hi!

Same here, been super busy with little one and work! No symptoms at all though. When do you think you'll test? X

zobodo · 04/11/2023 15:57

@TTCNoTWO hi! Glad you’re managing to keep busy, it’s half the battle!

AF is due 9th/10th so hoping to wait until 9th earliest (will be 12DPO by then). How about you?

OP posts:
TTCNoTWO · 04/11/2023 16:05

@zobodo wow you're very good to wait until then! I'm going to try and wait as long as possible this month to avoid the disappointment.. but according to my smiley opk I ovualted quite early this month, I'm not actually due until 14th!

zobodo · 04/11/2023 17:06

@TTCNoTWO it is really hard to wait! But I got a BFP with DS on 12DPO so I know it’s likely I’ll know either way if I hold out until then rather than giving myself hope with early bfn and then AF arriving anyway.

OP posts:
Beccylou94 · 04/11/2023 18:19

@zobodo hey, I'm 9dpo now. Been busy on holiday then out with friends today. Bfn this morning I tested I know I shouldn't. I've had some bleeding today which may be af coming along

zobodo · 04/11/2023 19:28

@Beccylou94 it’s tough not to test early! Especially if you have tests to hand, as I do!
Hopefully it isn’t AF arriving uninvited, crossing my fingers for you!

OP posts:
CatiaR · 04/11/2023 19:47

@zobodo hiya all good here 9dpo high temps and sore boobs but that’s about it. AF is due next Saturday so I’m also waiting till then, I always get a drop of bbt on the day of AF so saves me some disappointment looking at bfns although it can he hard to wait 😂 work has kept me busy as my counterpart in work resigned so my role is going to change a bunch in the near future as I’ll be taking hers and we’ll be hiring someone else to do mine with a prospect of doing an apprenticeship too which would be great to progress my career in the future! 😊

fingers crossed for everyone 🤞

zobodo · 07/11/2023 20:43

10DPO today and starting to lose a bit of hope as I feel exactly the same way I did this time last cycle and obviously AF arrived then so feeling a bit down.

I know I’m not out until AF actually arrives but it’s the thought of going through the cycle again, I honestly don’t know how anyone who has had long TTC journeys and/or fertility issues copes. I’m quite a patient person most of the time but it’s hard to be when TTC.

OP posts:
TTCNoTWO · 07/11/2023 20:50

@zobodo feeling exactly the same! Giving up hope! Xx

Beccylou94 · 07/11/2023 20:55

Pretty sure af came yesterday so I'm out

zobodo · 08/11/2023 08:51

11DPO negative FRER so assuming I’m out unless AF doesn’t arrive. So disappointed 😢

I'm sorry you got bfn @zobodo , you're never out until af comes!

TTCNoTWO · 08/11/2023 18:09

@zobodo sorry to hear about your bfn! Fingers crossed AF doesn't arrive for you x

zobodo · 08/11/2023 18:50

@Beccylou94 @TTCNoTWO

Thanks both! Still no AF but expecting it to arrive tomorrow or Friday. Day 27 today and I’m an avg 27/28 day usually.
