TTC. #2 4DPO anyone want to join tww

[Lizzie1302]

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
Anyone want to join me

@Lizzie1302 yes I would usually spot for a like half a day and then normally AF would arrive during that night. But nothing last night. No spotting or AF so far this morning anyway.

Oooh fingers crossed it all sounds positive

@Jademylo21 fingers crossed you ❤️

@BejbandM hopefully feeling rubbish is a good sign for you!

@Lizzie1302 that's useful to know about the OPKs I will keep that in mind nearer my AF date!

Hi ladies! So I'm 7DPO today, last 2 nights I've been waking up literally soaking wet of sweat. I sleep only in my underwear and I don't have a heating in my bedroom. It felt like I was under the shower, literally.
Yesterday I slept most of the day, I couldn't keep myself awake and I feel the same today. I don't feel as poorly, some fizzy feeling in my head.
This morning I thought I'll pass out. I suddenly became very hot and dizzy and I just had to sit down.
I still have dull lower back and abdomen pain/cramps. My breasts are a bit more sore. And I noticed yesterday evening that discharge increased and it's more milky and it's not too thick.

So that's me for now. I have no idea what is going on with me, but this is not my normal cycle at all.

How are you all doing?

@BejbandM. Its exactly how I was feeling last week and not like my normal cycle either so hopefully its a good sign for us both 🤞 I should be approx 14 or 15dpo. Not feeling as bad as I did last week.

@BejbandM oh fingers crossed as they are all the signs of pregnancy !! When do you plan on testing
@Jademylo21 same for you🤞 are you still planning on testing tomorrow. I have such a good feeling for you especially after that spotting
As for me, idk I feel all symptoms have gone slight back ache and extreme tiredness like I can't be bothered to even lift a cup but don't know if that's due to my little one . It's as if all those cramps have just disappeared. My usual cycle is 28 days so AF due tomorrow.. but it's the first time I've tracked ovulation in my app which says it'll make my period 5 days late. But I doubt that so I still think it'll be tomorrow if that makes sense

@Lizzie1302 yup still going to test tomorrow. I'm a bit like you. Most symptoms have gone specially nausea and dizziness. Backache started yday and I keep wanting to nap which isn't like me either. So yours sounds a bit like mine still. Ah ok my cycle is 27 days but does vary 2 days either side mostly. When did you ovulate? Or if testing when was your peak?

@Jademylo21 So I've been tracking periods since July in the Flo app and all are 28-29 days. But never tested ovulation. I got my peak on 1st Jan and 2nd Jan ( both just as dark as each other) so assume I ovulated on the 3rd as that was negative. Flo app said AF due 13th Jan then when I put my peak day in it said it'll be the 18th. But I'm taking it still as 13th as that's how it's been for so long

I don't think I'll test until the next week. I'm due in 8 days so I'll see how it goes symptoms wise.

@BejbandM you have good will power haha sometimes I test like 2dpo fully knowing it'll be negative

Hahaha... Oh, I've been there, done that... I just don't want to feel like a lunatic if it's negative and I have all the symptoms (that could also be PMS symptoms even though waaay too early for me).

@BejbandM that's how I feel at the moment feel like I'm going crazy. It's been a strange month for my cycle but when AF turns up I feel like an idiot 😂did you say you have children yourself? How old are they x

Exactly!! I have two, daughter is 12yo (she'll be 13 in April) and a son 10yo. So it would be a huuuge gap between them!
If I'm pregnant it would be unplanned but we don't mind. It's this waiting that is the worst.

@Lizzie1302 Oh really. I've just got a free app and it doesn't change my AF due date when I put positive ovulation. My peak was 27th Dec/28th Dec so assuming I ovulated on 29th.

@BejbandM I imagine it would be nice to see them look after a baby though! They would be so in love!

@Jademylo21 yes my app predicted ov on 29th Dec like yours due to the 28 day cycle so when I put positive opk on 1st it put the dates right out so I'm thinking just to stick with the 28 day cycle I must naturally ovulate a little later

@Lizzie1302 yeah i would just go with the 28 days from start of last period tbh. Not that I'm an expert haha. Fingers crossed for tomorrow 🤞

Hello all,

I hope it's ok for me to also join this thread.

I am currently TTC #1, around 10DPO. My calendar predicted ovulation to be on the 30th of December, however, I had the usual ovulation pains and discharge on the 2nd of January. Unfortunately, I did not test for ovulation :(, so I'm not sure.

Anyway, as symptoms go, I have been bloated for the past 4 days. I had a few cramps two days ago, but no spotting, and then again today, I feel pain in the left lower side of my abdomen. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was a BFN. I kind of lose hope when seeing a lot of people getting BFP's even at 8 DPO.

My AF is supposed to come in the next few days, so I guess I'm not out until it comes, but it's hard to keep hope after BFN.

@TTC345678 hi 👋 those sound promising. But probably too early for a bfp. @Lizzie1302 I think AF is on her way 😭😭😭 just went to the toilet and deffo think that's a bit too much spotting I'm absolutely gutted. Crying at work, not ideal 😭😭😭

@TTC345678 🤗🤗 welcome! I never used to test with ovulation strips it's only now that I have. Those all sound promising symptoms though! As @Jademylo21 said it could just be early. If it makes you feel better with my 1st born I didn't test positive until 3 days after my af was due!
@Jademylo21 awww no I'm sorry to hear that I honestly am, there's nothing worse. You said you had a gynae appt next week? Is that for the ttc

@Lizzie1302 that does help. Thank you!
@Jademylo21 I'm sorry to hear that also :(

@Lizzie1302 just so confused as to why I've had all these symptoms. She's not fully here but I'm sure I can feel my usual achy legs which is just before it's full on. Well the appointment was oringally for myself to get checked out as it hasn't happened in the 3 years I've been off the pill but since then we've have decided to TTC so will see what they say.

@Jademylo21 it's horrible isn't it. Especially when you feel so different to usual. I hope it's just more spotting for you but at least you've got this appt next week to take it from there. I came off the implant in August 2020 and fell pregnant august 2022 so I know how heart breaking it is each month

@Jademylo21 sorry you think your AF has arrived 😔 I don't think I'm fully prepared for the disappointment I'm likely to feel when it potentially happens to me in a week or so!

It's so cruel that pregnancy symptoms are the same as pms. All these little things we notice with our bodies which give us hope!

I'm going to tell myself that each time my AF arrives I'm going to treat myself to something to try make myself feel better. Who's with me? 😊

I'm thinking maybe a new bubble bath, face mask, body moisturiser......glass of wine! nothing huge just a little consolation prize ❤️

Today my symptoms are slightly sore nipples and a tingly feeling through my breast, the odd twinge/cramp here and there.....bloated. Googled every single one and yep, could be pregnancy or pms 😂 still obsessing over it though!

Hi @TTC345678 fingers crossed for you over the next couple days! As you said you're never out until af arrives! 🤞🏼

@Firsttime0727 thank you! Fingers crossed for you too. I have been reading perhaps a bit too much for my own sake these last few days and I took an ovulation test because I've read it can sometimes catch pregnancy sooner than normal HCG tests. And of course, negative. I think I just need to stop testing and wait for AF to be at least 2 days late to test again. I've done the stupid thing of buying multiple tests, and since they are in my home, I cannot seem to stop thinking about using them daily.
