1DPO

[MrsL2019]

Im offically 1dpo! Does anyone want to join me in the agonising TWW?!

Everyone keeping sane?

I have a high heart rate notification from my apple watch for ten minutes at 4am this morning (6dpo). Haven’t had one before so am wondering/hoping if it could be an implantation sign. I guess it could also have just been a nightmare..

I can’t believe IM ONLY 3DPO 😂😂😅 time has come to a literal stop in my world.

How about everyone else?

@emmatcc1 welcome!!

@BatildaB just about!! Im still over thinking every feeling but im not obsessing over it yet and im 7dpo today so im doing quite well this month! I wonder if high heart rate could be an implantation sign, its not one ive ever looked into before but its worth a shot i guess

@Yolo23 hours pass like weeks in the TWW wait doesnt it! Hopefully this next week or so will go quickly for us all and we all get a BFP🤞

I woke up with yet another mild headache today, i think this is my 4th day of headaches now😴 8dpo today so im hoping its a good sign, i wont mind them if it is!

I cracked and tested, at 7dpo.. obviously negative! I have had a bit of a temp dip today but I know that’s not really that meaningful. I also have the biggest baddest cold sores I’ve had for a long time, which obviously google says might be a sign (or it could be that I put on a sample of a very drying lipstick at the weekend). The end is creeping slowly into sight, one way or another, I hate the middle days the most from about 5-9 dpo.

Fingers crossed for us all that headaches, high heart rate, insomnia, cold sores and grumbly feelings are all signs, and that autumn provides a turbo boost!

@BatildaB coldsore was my first sign when i was pregnant with my girl!! Ive never had a coldsore in my life til early pregnancy, just the 1 then never anymore since!

@MrsL2019 Oohh really?! Well then I’ll take it as a hopeful sign instead of just being annoyed that half of my mouth is a painful lumpy mess. I do get them every now and then but usually they’re small and give warning, and appear when i’m run down, whereas this monster has sprung out of nowhere overnight even though i’m well rested and fed!

I caved and did a cheapy strip test tonight, of course its negative because im only 8dpo! Now im going to hold off testing until sunday morning if im not spotting by then

Hello ladies! I’m 4DPO and I would agree.. the time between now and 10dpo is brutal 😂 the amount of google searches and unintentional symptom spotting I do is just rediculous. I’m pleased I don’t succumb to testing super early but I just hope this month is our lucky month ✨🤞

@Yolo23 fingers crossed for you🤞

Im 9dpo and im so run down its unreal. Ive had a little bit of pinky spotting this morning and im praying its implantation and not AF spotting. I had implantation bleeding at 9dpo with my first pregnancy too🤞

@MrsL2019 that sounds promising! Especially if it’s on such a similar timeline to your previous pregnancy. Keeping everything crossed!

@Yolo23 yes my google searches are also ridiculous.. ‘is clumsiness an early sign of pregnancy’ after breaking a mug 🙄

I seem to be testing twice a day now, just on cheapies. My current ‘symptom’ is getting weirdly emotional about a blog post written by an American about cultural differences in hiking in the US vs UK! Seems a little early for PMS..

@MrsL2019 ooo fingers crossed! I had that before my CP last year. I’d say at this stage it’s hopeful to be implantation - bit too early for AF 🤞

@BatildaB what day are you on? Hahaha that’s more positive than my searches, whenever I drop something (fairly often) I’m convinced I have MS!

Im having quite a few twinges but tbh after a year of nothing and also experiencing twinges after ovulation, I try not to think too much into it. Just hope time passes quickly although not too quickly as I’m yet to do Xmas shopping 😅

How is everyone doing? Everyone surviving i hope?!🤞🤣

I didnt have any pinkish spotting in the afternoon but ive just had some now, my lower back is super sore. Hoping it isnt a monster AF on her way!

Not great here. 9dpo and bfn this morning. It's our anniversary and although we've been trying for over 7 months with no success I hadn't really considered how down I might feel from a negative today. I've been getting twinges/mild cramping for several days now and my boobs are big so think possibly something hormonal going on, doesn't seem to be pregnancy though unfortunately.

Hello everyone! AF also due on Tuesday for me. I woke up at 3:30am all anxious (think from alcohol has had 2 drinks last night) and snuck out to ensuite to do a test like a madwoman and it was neg. I was super hopeful this month as we really gave it a good go, I also had some weird sharp twinges after ovulation, so that’s disappointing! I

feel like everyone on mn gets their positives by now in their cycle (2 days before AF) so I’ve given up in my head now, might just wait until period due for next test.

@GHJ @Sconehenge please dont let the negatives get you down, most people dont get a positive test until the day of their missed period. It could be that you havnt implanted yet as its most common to implant around 8-10dpo meaning that if you implant on these days they wont neccessarily show on a test until possibly 48 hours after. I know negatives are so disheartening but your not out until AF rears her head. Sending you both love

Aw thank you @MrsL2019 - who would have thought all those years as a teenager and early 20s panicking about pregnancy and I’d be up at 3am squinting at a clearly negative test wondering if there a shadow of a line 😂😂😂

@Sconehenge oh absolutely! Times change fast dont they haha!!

After my slight pink spotting yesterday im now spotting even more but a red/brown so i am preparing myself for AF!

@GHJ Yes it is still so early, I hope you can enjoy your anniversary without worrying about it! Are you doing anything nice that will distract you?

@Sconehenge yes before this year any pregnancy test experience was of utter relief at just the one line! It does feel weird to now want two so badly. And to realise that it’s actually not that easy. Do you know how many dpo you are?

@MrsL2019 so frustrating when AF doesn’t just make her arrival day clear. I suppose at least you’ll know for definite soon.

Call me crazy but yesterday i had a little power nap with me being so run down, i had a really vivid dream of everything that id done that day so far (everything was right) the only difference was that i was going to ovulate in the next few days. Because TTC makes you crazy i thought last night id do an ovulation test just to see, this is what came back. Is it possible im ovulating later than originally thought? Or can you get a rise when AF is on her way? I know its not positive but its a lot darker than i would have expected it to be!

From obsessive reading in previous cycles… it can rise high before AF, it can also pick up HCG. So… in sum it gives you no additional information. Are you still testing hcg too?

@BatildaB i was going to do a pregnancy tesr this morning but because there was more darker spotting i decided not to. I may do one tomorrow depending on the spotting situation!

@MrsL2019 fingers crossed that it’s spotting not bleeding. I’m not sure if I had a minuscule amount of spotting earlier, but it was orange so not sure what to think about that. When I thought i had spotting before it was AF gearing up.

My resting heart rate is my main way of clinging onto hope right now. It’s shot right up, which it has occasionally done before but last time it was this high it was when I had covid, international travel and a stressful family situation all happening at once…

@BatildaB how many dpo are you? When is AF due? Orangey coloured spotting can be implantation. Its usually described as pink/brown or rust colour. Hopefully your heart rate is indicating something🤞

My spotting has slowed right down again, sometimes its there and sometimes its not. I usually spot properly before AF which is due tomorrow according to my app but that could be wrong!

@MrsL2019 Oh god it’s agonising isn’t it! I’m 9dpo now, AF unpredictable because I had a weirdly long cycle last time then earlier ovulation this time - maybe Weds at the earliest but could be into next week. I’ve entered into fully-distracted-can’t-bear-it mode today. Just used up a ‘nice’ test even though the cheapie was blank.. Only one nice test left and not buying more before payday, so am annoyed with myself!
