Hi guys!
Basically just a post to see if there's anyone in their tww who wants to try speed the process up by chatting 🤣
I think I'm 4dpo due to positive opk and Flo app
I know it's too soon to symptom spot but I've been having cramps ( as if I need the bathroom) since day after conception and cm not dried up yet

Not tracked ovulation properly before but always have a 28 day cycle but says I ovulated on cd 18-19 so not sure if I naturally ovulate later or if I'll have a late period

Hey Lizzie, I suspect I'm 7dpo and it's really difficult to not symptom spot isn't it?!
How long have you been TTC for?

Hi Lizzie! My first time too, and I think I'm only 1dpo. First time tracking with opks though so hoping I've done it right but it does coincide with my Flo app so fingers crossed!

Is this your first time ttc? It is for me and I'm late to the party at 37 so I'm worried about my chances 😔 but preying it will be fine! ❤️

Hi @Artemis176 i have a little boy who is just over 9 months which took 2 and a half years to conceive would love a small age gap ( probably regret it haha) so wanted to start trying now just in case it takes a while. This will be my 3rd month TTC #2. How about you? And do you have any symptoms this month. I believe I will be 5dpo today
Hi@Firsttime0727 no this will be my second but took a while to concieve. Is this your first month TTC ? I used opk last time but never actually dated them on the flo app. It says I should have ovulated on the 29th Dec and af on the 13th Jan (I have 28 day cycle) But I knew I wasn't ovulating so when I had ewcm I did opk and it was positive which was the 1st Jan so Flo says AF isn't due till 18th but because I've never tracked it before I don't know whether I naturally ovulate late or if I'm having a longer cycle this month if that makes sense

I wish you both so much luck and would love to go crazy in the tww with you haha

This is our first month actively trying. I came off contraception in June last year but wasn't tracking anything and just seeing if it happened. It didn't so here I am 😂

My cycle is normally 27-29 days and Flo says my AF is due the 22nd and I ovulated on the 7th.....I had a Lh surge on Saturday (I think) so I'm hoping it's right!! DTD twice during fertile window, didn't have time to do anymore 😂

I must say I've never been so aware of my body. Every time twinge I think "oh could this be something?" In reality it's probably trapped wind 😂

Lizzie1302 · 08/01/2024 20:07

@Firsttime0727 This is sooo true! I think it's good to know you're body but yes being too aware you just automatically symptom spot. Hopefully it happens soon for you. Yes I THINK they say usually 24-48 hours after a positive opk is when you ovulate. And yes I think we did maybe 3 times, I don't want to do TOO much so that it feels like a chore
This month on the whole feels different I had 2 days positive opk so I'm hoping I've got my dpo right. My cramps feel like trapped wind/ constipation but I don't have either and I honestly felt like someone was sticking a needle down there which was horrendous yesterday. I am so bad for poas. I've bought the Cb 6 days early and am going to do one in the morn because if it's a 28 day cycle then tomorrow should be accurate but if I'm late like Flo says then maybe not. Who knows

OP posts:
Lizzie1302 · 08/01/2024 20:10

I will be cd 25 tomorrow with a usual cycle being 28 but flo says it'll be a 33 day cycle due to ovulation

This is my 2nd month TTC, have had 2 chemical pregnancies before 2019. I have tender breasts ATM and have had slight stomach twinges of cramps the past couple of days but I'm trying to ignore those because I do tend to symptom spot and it only leads to disappointment!

Lizzie1302 · 08/01/2024 20:15

Aww I'm sorry to hear that. You are very strong to get through all of this ❤️
When is af due? Do you think you will wait to see if it arrives before testing.
It's so hard because pms and pregnancy all have the same symptoms! But I know with my first I had severe AF cramps but turned out to be implantation so fingers crossed for you

In my mind I'm telling myself to hold off and wait until AF is due but I've just bulk ordered early pregnancy tests on Amazon 😆

AF is due in around 7 days so I'm going to try my best to wait maybe 3-4 days then test.... but I doubt I'll be able to, it's just too tempting

Lizzie1302 · 08/01/2024 20:29

I had to get my partner to hide them the first time round 🤣🤣it's awful isn't it. I always tell my self it's too much money and too much upset but I still happily wee on them

Oh fingers crossed for you for tomorrow if you do test ❤️ your symptoms sound promising! Let us know!

Firsttime0727 · 08/01/2024 20:42

I'm telling myself I won't test early......remind me of this in a weeks time will you 😂 sooooo tempting I imagine

Jademylo21 · 08/01/2024 20:58

Hope it's OK to jump on here. I think I should be 11dpo and have had lots of symptoms like nausea dizziness bloating stomach cramps spotting on 7dpo and VERY iritable all last week, my poor OH!. Does this sound like the right symptoms? I've been off the pill 3 years and just thought it wasnt meant to be and got an appointment with gyeanocolist next week but now I'm feeling all kinds of things and have my fingers crossed. Took a test yesterday 10dpo and it was negative, hoping it was just too early. My OH has hidden the rest of the test now haha. My AF is due Saturday so hoping to test on Thursday or Friday if I can wait that long. I'm 33 and very new to all this any advice would be very much appreciated.

Artemis176 · 08/01/2024 21:03

Hi Jade, all of your symptoms seem really positive and plenty of people still have positives after 10dpo so I don't think you're out yet! I would say maybe wait 2 days and test again? Fingers are crossed for you 🤞🏼I'm also very new to this at 30, it's so all-consuming isn't it? Please let us know how you get on?

Jademylo21 · 08/01/2024 21:09

Hi, sorry my names not jade. It's Charlotte lol I was thinking not to put my actual name incase someone I knew saw me so I used to dogs name haha! Yes I would like to test om Wed but my OH said wait till Friday so think we will go with Thursday lol its very confusing. My OH just says stop stressing out and googling things but it's very hard to do that. My mind is in overdrive. I'll update you on Wednesday or Thursday. This is technically my second month trying and taking ovulation tests and going all in so wasn't expecting much tbh. How long have you been TTC?

Artemis176 · 08/01/2024 21:12

This is only my 2nd month TTC, and tbh I'm kinda keeping all of my stress to myself because I just know my partner would tell me to calm down with it all too! So it's nice to have a community here of women going through the same thing 🤞🏼 I really shouldn't test but I'm going to spend the next few days just using my cheaper little tests from Amazon so I will update too

Jademylo21 · 08/01/2024 21:14

Yes I'm just using the wee test strips too. Got 2 CB ones which I'm saving on for later Friday Saturday.

Lizzie1302 · 08/01/2024 21:31

Hiiu @Jademylo21 yes they definitely sound all positive signs to me! You're not out until AF arrives. With my first child I didn't test positive till around 3 days late! And I tested every single day

@Firsttime0727 thankyou in my head I'm so adamant it's positive because of how I feel but too scared to see the negative tomorrow

@Artemis176 yes there's only do much my dh wants to listen to it's nice to know tww drives everyone insane not just me

OP posts:
Firsttime0727 · 08/01/2024 21:57

@Artemis176 @Lizzie1302 @Jademylo21 we've all been ttc for 1-3 months which is nice 😊

Will look forward to hearing your results this week ladies ❤️

My OH doesn't get it at all! He is a few years younger than me and would probably wait a few more years if I wasn't older and running out of time. He understands though and does want children so knows it's now or never to start trying for us.

BejbandM · 08/01/2024 22:31

I need an advice or opinions.
I'm more than aware that is very early, however...
Ovulation was on the 5th of Jan, unprotected sex was on the 4th of Jan. I know when I ovulate as I have ovulation cramps, they usually last a day- day and a half and then nothing until the day before period starts.

I know I'm only 3DPO however, cramps are still here, I have pelvic pain that feels like stretching that goes to the top of the groins, I have lower back pain, breast started being tender today, basically I feel like my period will start even though it's not due for the next 12 days.
I also have white- yellowish discharge.

Those cramps and strange, stretchy feeling is constantly here. I also have runny nose and my throat feels prickly even though I don't have a cold. I'm also sweaty even though I never sweat 🤷‍♀️

The question is- am I going nuts or these could be early pregnancy symptoms???

This would be my third pregnancy,last one was 11 years ago.

Thank you!!

Jademylo21 · 09/01/2024 09:22

Hello, I was getting symptoms 4dpo, mine were more nausea and dizziness then started to get more symptoms as days went on. I'm now 12dpo but still the and got a BFN on 9dpo. This is my first so not sure I've got much advice, sorry. But that sounds like something rather than nothing. Fingers crossed

Hi, those all sound like really positive symptoms but it can be really hard to determine if they're pregnancy related or AF! I also don't have children yet so sorry I can't offer more advice 😢

Lizzie1302 · 09/01/2024 10:14

@Firsttime0727 I don't think oh do understand do they! They seem so relaxed about it
@BejbandM they definitely sound positive. Unfortunately af and pregnancy have pretty much the same symptoms. With my 1st I felt like that. Just thought my period was coming so I tested a few days before I was due and then when I was due and they were both negative only a few days after did it come positive

Everywhere I read it says you wouldn't have symptoms this early but I definitely did

was a BFN for me this morning on CB ultra early due af on 13th so should've picked it up if I was so fully convinced I'm not pregnant but then.... Technically I am only 6dpo so my minds going wild again.

Lizzie1302 · 09/01/2024 10:14

Would you guys mind if I posted a pic of my discharge I'd like your advice to see if you've had it before af or if you're experiencing it now
