Hi everyone.

I am 6dpo and feel like I am waiting weeks now to do a test. I am cramping since ovulation. Been using OPK’s so fairly certain by a day/two when I ovulated.

TTC #3. ( been pregnant 5 times).

anyone else on the +-same time and need support?

I'm 4dpo. Second month TTC. Thankfully I've been quite distracted because of work, otherwise I'd be doing mad. Haven't really had many symptoms.
Just keep thinking, you can start testing in about 3-4 days, although it'll still be early.

@Bb542 thanks for joining 💕…this month will be my 8th month trying. Been pregnant with triplets in Aug but sadly lost them at 9 weeks.

I will admit , I will probably start testing at 8dpo. I know silly early but I am not going to pretent I am someone I am not! Lol ! Addicted to POAS🤣🤣…

i have a couple off busy days ahead so I really hope it goes by super fast.

Are you trying for your first?

Hi!

I am 4DPO, we had an early loss last month, miscarried at 5 weeks. I guess a “chemical”.
also had a failed pregnancy (blighted ovum) in June, we are not having much luck. I have a daughter who’s 6. (I am 31, we’ve been trying for a year).

TTC is exhausting, really wishing for a happy outcome but now I don’t even have it to get excited… Didn’t even tell hubby I was ovulating this month, I feel just, meh!

Fingers crossed this thread has some positive news in the weeks to come x

Anon243 · 23/01/2024 18:51

@Ems1992 I am so sorry to hear about your losses and feeling meh. It is a very hard journey. Sending lots of love❤️

Dis you DTD within the time frame? If so I believe that there is hope✨✨✨

i also do sometimes dont tell hubby when I am ovulating because I can also see the stress it puts him through.

I honestly hope we have some BFP this cycle!! We will celebrate and go crazy!!

I will keep posting .

Current symptoms is just cramping ( since after ovulation) and sore nippels. (apparently also normal after ovulation) so I am really not someone who symptom spot more POAS addict🤣

I’m 5 - 7 DPO depending on which app you believe! I have an 11 month old but not knowing how long it could take for a second due to health etc, we’ve started kind of casually trying. We DTD every other day for about 10 days so I think we covered all possible ovulation dates.
I’ve also had the odd mild cramping and a sort of heaviness around my womb. Don’t really know how else to describe it!
But with my first my only early symptoms before a missed period were really sore boobs and bumpy nipples. I’ve got neither this time so not sure this is our month.
Fingers crossed you guys all get your BFP this month!

Anon243 · 23/01/2024 19:08

@Richie23 ahhh so happy you joined💕

did you use any OPK or are you just going off the apps predictions?

by the look of it it sounds like you guys definitely dtd enough for a high change of conception✨✨✨

all my pregnancies was so different.

  1. had implantation bleeding at 10dpo and blazing bfp at 12dpo
  2. mmc
  3. had no implantation bleeding but very sore boobs
  4. chemical with no symptoms
  5. pregnant with triplets. Was super nauseous from 8dpo straight on and had a very strong bfp at 8dpo at night.

so honestly it can go either way.

PLEASE keep me updated? I will try to update daily 🥰

baby dust to all off you💕💕💕

Hello!

I think I'm 7dpo going by the app. Cycle 6 of ttc #2. Feel like I'm becoming obsessive with symptom spotting again, I was calmer last 2 months but think that was just due to being so busy! I was quite crampy yesterday, feeling sick today. Had sore boobs since Sunday but I always get that a week before AF due!

With DD, I came off the pill and was pregnant 1st month, so this really feels like it's taking forever, although I know 6 months isn't huge in the grand scheme of things!

Trying to hold of testing until AF is late, if that happens! According to the app AF is due on the 31st so a while to wait!

Sending lots of luck to you all this month!

Anon243 · 23/01/2024 19:43

@hermionelodge I totally get that it gets frustrating when you conceived so easy in the past. I conceived both my DS within 4 months of trying. This time it takes me so long.

if you can hold until AF is late I am in awe❤️ I just dont have that will power. I always say I will wait but always start testing at 8dpo.

please keep me updated💕

i am so crampy tonight. I dont remember having cramps in all by pregnancies before. I also did a very intense workout today so can also be that✨.

wishing you luck and hoping for bfp this cycle

hermionelodge · 23/01/2024 20:02

@Anon243 it's so frustrating how long it's taking. Sorry for your losses also, must make the wait much more difficult.

Haha I know, I will be amazed if I hold off but it really is so disappointing seeing that negative every time!

I honestly can't remember the lead up to my BFP last time, I think because I didn't expect it to happen, I wasn't really paying attention. I do know I had implantation bleeding which lasted 2 days as I thought it was just a really light period after coming off the pill. The day before I tested I remember feeling so bloated and full after a bowl of soup which I thought was odd, and I was tired. But it was the next day I had a nap and when I woke up I had a horrible metallic taste and that's when it clicked. Bought test that evening and the positive was there instantly. So I've no idea if I was 'late' or goe many dpo I was. Ignorance is very bliss haha!

Ah hopefully the cramps are a positive sign! It's just a minefield, so many things can be interpreted as pregnancy symptoms. A hard balance of feeling optimistic, but not too optimistic so you don't feel so disappointed.

Wishing you lots of luck ✨️

RRAEE · 23/01/2024 20:15

6dpo aswell ! TTC no 1 not much hope this month as only managed to DTD once at OV as DP been unwell. Really hoping for a BFP still 🤞🏻

Sending baby dust to all ✨

Anon243 · 23/01/2024 20:18

@hermionelodge thanks for your wishes. Will keep you updated.

@RRAEE welcome💕 it only takes one lucky sperm to get there so there is hope! I dtd with my second son only on ovulation day ( hubby was so busy with work). iI prepared myself that It was not our month.
keep me updated on your symptoms? Xx

Joining in! 3/4dpo today, started tracking BBT after O (CD18/19) on Sunday so only have 3 temps, had a big dip today which apparently can be secondary oestrogen surge. Who knows, will see what it's like tomorrow.

TTC #1 for 12 months, one early MC in April last year (cycle 2)

Meet your sister 😂 also very addicted to POAS... I spent so much money on tests last month. Definitely don't want to do that this month. But it was Christmas and I was off work so had lots of time to test 😂
Yes trying for our first 😊 you?

@Ems1992 so so sorry about your loss. Hope you're doing ok 🩷 I'm also 4dpo x

rosebudbloom · 23/01/2024 20:43

Woah, that must have been so hard @Anon243 sending you all the love and beautiful baby dust ❤

So nice to find this thread! I am TTC and currently 10DPO. I was so sure I was having cramps and feelings which didn't feel usual, but tests seem to think I'm not so now just thinking it must have been early period cramps :/

I feel sad but also know I have literally nothing to feel sad about and now annoyed at myself for being so dramatic! I've only just started but this TTC thing already makes me feel like I'm going loopy LOL 👽

Itsrainingfrogs · 23/01/2024 20:46

@Anon243 I’m also 6dpo today! I’m on the cruel rollercoaster of “yep, I think I’m definitely pregnant” and “nope, not my month” 😭
Had an early loss in august and have been trying since. I was away for work on ov day and the day before, but DTD 2 days and 3 days before ov day so who knows.
Going to try and hold out until 11dpo or 12dpo, but we shall see!
I don’t know what’s wrong with me this month, finding the tww harder than ever :(

Sending baby dust to all and hope there’s lots of BFPs for everyone here this month! 💕 ✨

RRAEE · 23/01/2024 21:00

@Anon243 had slight cramps and boobs keep going a bit sore but nothing else. Im trying not to symptom spot too much as i always do and end up disappointed. (I say this now but cant help my self lol)

Sorry for your loss. 🤗 💕 hope this month is better for you x

elle123355 · 23/01/2024 21:08

Hi ladies I'm 4 days late now and this was my test from earlier

Hoping bfp and sticky babies for you all ❤️

6dpo and need TTW buddies
AnnieStar12 · 23/01/2024 21:12

I’m 5/6 DPO. Have already started testing, hahaha!

Just gonna do one test every morning until either I see a positive line, or I see AF.

I’m on cycle 11 of TTC. Had one CP in April & one MMC in December so it’s been an emotional rollercoaster.

Have had three DC previously, pregnant first time with each of those. But seems my luck has run out with this attempt as we’ll soon be at the one year mark sine we started trying and it’s driving me crazy.

In each pregnancy (5 in total) I’ve got first faint line at 10DPO and no symptoms that were different to usual time of the month feelings. So impossible for me to tell apart early pregnancy with AF.

Ladyinpink1 · 23/01/2024 21:42

Hi @Anon243 I am quite similar to you, 6dpo ttc baby #3 (been pregnant 4 times so feel like it's taking forever)

I feel so hopeful but also have a fear that it will never happen, such an emotional rolercoaster isn't it.
Do you plan to early test or wait? x

Applesandcake · 23/01/2024 21:57

I’m 4dpo! Second cycle ttc no.3. I flit between confidently thinking I will fall pregnant within a few months, to thinking I’m never going to be able to fall pregnant again! I’ve. Even pregnant three times (one unplanned which ended in an early miscarriage) and it happened either 1st of second month those times, but I’m 38 now so not expecting it to happen so fast this time.

SMD16 · 23/01/2024 22:14

Heyyy I'm 7DPO.

I have a little girl who will be 1 on Monday, sadly had a chemical which passed on Boxing Day.

I have had so many symptoms that I'm sure I'm imagining some of them 🤣

Holl89 · 23/01/2024 22:26

Hi everyone!

I’m 5DPO 😅

TTC baby no. 1 🥺. Had MMC in October and a chemical last month so praying for a positive this month. Feeling deflated and not very positive though!

Hoping1775 · 23/01/2024 23:06

Hi all.

I 5dpo. Noticed some cramping today but that’s all. I think I’ll test 8DPO and then every day until I have an answer

ttc #4. HD a chemical day after Boxing Day so has made the ache that much stronger.
really hoping for some good news this cycle.

baby dust to all ✨

hermionelodge · 24/01/2024 07:27

Morning

Sorry to hear of everyone's losses. Its so mentally exhausting ttc.

I've woken up today with 0 symptoms, everything from the last couple of days have gone. Convinced now this isn't our month again.

Hope everyone else has better luck this month and lots of BFPs ✨️

Anon243 · 24/01/2024 07:37

@elle123355 that looks promising!!! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 keep us updated please please
