It’s definitely soul destroying isn’t it😭 suppose it helps that I’m working quite alot over the tww to keep my mind off it!
My opks have definitely got lighter since yesterday so I know that was my peak & have lots of ovulation pain ect..

we dtd on 6th and 8th(peak day) think we will again tonight and hopefully that will have us covered. Have you managed to get much in? :)

Hiya lovely.

It is soul destroying!!

My partner struggles to finish due to his medication, however!! We managed successfully the day before inflation, not successful on the day of ovulation, and successful the day after ovulation, so I'm hoping we did enough!

I feel ever so sick today, I know it's far too early to symptom spotting but I cannot help it haha.

Only 12 days til I can test haha

Fingers crossed this is the month for us all! Hopefully yous got enough in, don’t think we will get to DTD tonight as we have DH brother staying with us unexpectedly🫣

im the same lol i symptom spot every cycle, how many dpo will you start testing? Im awful I always test at 10dpo because I can’t help myself 😂

Tell DH brother he needs to wear ear defenders, haha.

I started at 7DPO last month, and it was excruciating, haha, and completely ridiculous. It's never materialised anyway because AF arrived.

I'm going to try and be somewhat reasonable and realistic this month and possibly wait til 10DPO. We will see!

Where are you at in your cycle

happymum1001 · 09/11/2023 21:36

hahahahaha 😂😂

omg 7dpo that would be rough, I think earliest I’ve ever tested is 9dpo, it’s so hard to wait until 10dpo… ill hopefully be waiting until 10dpo if I can hold out that long lol.

im currently CD17 had my peak OPK yesterday and I’ve had lots of egg white CM and cramping today so I think today is ovulation day, not too concerned because we did DTD last night and on Monday also.

where are you in your cycle? Sending lots of baby dust your way too x

TrishyLou1111 · 09/11/2023 14:45

Some ladies do peak multiple times throughout the month, so it's always good to DTD when you do, just in case!

When is AF due again?

Not totally sure as CP but I'm due next few days, I calculated the 12 but app says 14.
I had another positive on the ovulation strip but not as strong as the first one.

At this point, I just want my period to start so I can try again next month 😩

I know it's stupid, isn't it. I must just like POAS (or pissing on money because some of these tests actually cost a fortune!)
I don't know what I was thinking 😭🙈

It's pretty similar to me. We DTD, the day after had all of the OV symptoms, lots of EWCM, attempted to DTD with no luck but managed it the day after, so we should be okay! Fingers crossed 🤞

I'm CD18 and 2DPO. only 5 days to go before testing 👀 🙈😂

Have you had AF since your CP?

It's frustrating, isn't it. Fingers crossed either way for something to happen soon!

Nope this will be my first af after my cp.

It's the waiting game 😩

How we all getting on ladies? I’m CD20 and I think 6DPO - absolutely no symptoms or anything except some occasional twinges on my right side (which I’m pretty sure I ovulated from this month) and wondering how long I can hold out before I start testing 😬😬😬

I'm 7dpo had cramping yesterday and nausea today. Also really want to test but know it's going to be negative and after the sister in laws pregnancy announcement last night I'm feeling a bit fragile today 😔

RWSS · 12/11/2023 13:46

Yup update here- just started my period! Not alot of blood but def KY period. App said due in another 5 says but def here!
I'm glad I can get back to normal now.
Pray my period isn't too bad guys, first one after my CP.

Outliers · 12/11/2023 13:52

At 9DPO these are all the symptoms I've experienced so far:

Metallic taste in mouth
Cramping
Tender boobs (strongest symptoms)
Morning nausea
Dizziness
Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Bloating
Clear discharge (more than usual)
Constipation

Very tempted to test tomorrow, but I'll hold out. I've decided to monitor these symptoms, so if I'm not pregnant I will ignore them in the next cycle

Favofit · 12/11/2023 13:57

Possibly 7DPO today and have been having mild cramping last few days. Very scared to have my hopes up but also really hopeful ❤️

TrishyLou1111 · 12/11/2023 14:02

Hi ladies..

I'm 4, possibly 5DPO and like a Royal twat, I tested morning. 🙈😫😆

Had slight twinges on left side today but nothing too noticeable as of yet. Nausea but keep telling myself it's far tok early.

Fingers crossed for our BFPs

Fingers crossed for our BFP's ❤️❤️❤️

I also had twinges on my left side earlier in the week and it made me so emotional, particularly as my left tube is gone.

Staying hopeful

@TrishyLou1111 thank you for checking in ❤️❤️❤️ I am 8DPO predicted today , had my third acupuncture session this morning. I haven't tested yet and staying hopeful. I've had a lot of mild cramping last few days. I think I might cave and test tomorrow morning. How are you getting on ?

That's okay!

I'm either 5 or 6 DPO, and I want to test again. It's like a crazy impulsive moment, and even though I know it's going to be negative, I want to do it anyway!

I've had some odd pulls and twinges, but I don't know if I'm just looking for any old sign and symptom. Have you got a FRER?
I'm going to try and hold off as long as I can to avoid unnecessary disappointment

Let me know how you get on. Xx

I would suggest holding off till like 12 if you can.

I nearly caved yesterday and discovered that the embryo typically implants between 6-12DPO- following which it can take time for hcg to build in your system.

I'm 10DPO though struggling to hold off until 12

@TrishyLou1111 I haven't got a FRER unfortunately, they seem very difficult to find lately. I've got some easyhome test. I am going to try to stay strong & wait ❤️

@Outliers thanks for that, it was a really interesting read. It's really difficult to stay away from the tests but I will try. How are things with you ? ❤️

Not too bad thanks. 10DPO and have experienced a load of symptoms but nothing I can definitively say is a pregnancy symptom.

Period is due on Friday, I haven't yet got signs that I'm coming on yet. How's things on your side?

Favofit · 13/11/2023 22:47

I am still having mild cramps but that's about it. I'm not even sure that's a symptom. Period is due Saturday and it feels like a long wait until then

Favofit · 13/11/2023 22:49

@Outliers are you going to hold out until Friday then ?

@Outliers are you going to hold out until Friday then ?

I had mild cramps couple days ago, but they've stopped. Other sensations has been things like - Metallic taste in mouth, Tender boobs, nausea, Dizziness, increased thirst + frequent urination, Bloating, clear discharge (more than usual), odd bowel movements and fatigue.

But with all of that I've learned we can actually have all those symptoms in a normal cycle leading up to a period. So I'm monitoring these sensations so if I'm not pregnant - I'll know to ignore them in the next cycle.

I think I'll probably test Wednesday morning.

Favofit · 14/11/2023 06:52

@Outliers that's a lot of symptoms, sounds promising. I was so tempted to test this morning but held off. I only have mild cramping , again this morning. Baby dust to us ❤️❤️❤️
