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?

@Ladyinpink1 cycle buddy😉.

i am definitely starting to test tommorow 8dpo. You a right, such a rollercoaster 🫣 but atleast we are on the same ride so we can support each other❤️

@Applesandcake welcome!!! The ups and downs are hard! And the unknown is so disheartening ! But PLEASE never give up hope!!! 💙

@SMD16 sorry about your loss!!! Yoi can imagine it or you dont??? Thats the frustrating part. So symptom spot as much as you want cause only you know your body and sometimes symptom spotting gives me hope? Even if it turns out to be bfn I still got hope and through the TWW.
fingers crossed for you✨✨✨

@Holl89 please keep me updated? Sorry about feeling deflated! Sending hugs ❤️❤️

@Hoping1775 please keep me updated!! I had cramping since 2dpo so I know how it feels. Must be something?

@hermionelodge good morning🥰 dont lose hope! If I have it right you are only +- 8dpo? It is very normal to not feel pregnant. You are not out Yet!!

Morning☀️☀️☀️

Today I am 7dpo. I will test tomorrow morning 🤣 I do expect a bfn . I am preparing myself cause seeing a bfn is cruel. BUT , I am feeling like If I dont test I will cave and test throughout the day with diluted pee and will be SOOO upset with myself.

I was up twice last night due to cramps. We DTD last night just to relax and enjoy each other but it can also be because of that? So I am trying not to get my hopes up.

To be honest, I think next month I am going to “take a break” if I am not pregnant. It is exhausting and it takes away my peace somedays.

anyways , keep me updated.

hope you all are having a blessed day❤️

Morning! Fingers crossed for you that sounds positive so far.. it's exhausting and feels impossible not to get caught up in the emotions of it all when there is so much at stake every month! But this thread is helping me already so thanks for creating 🥳

A break sounds like a wise idea as it really does take over quickly! I think I'll do the same after 3 more months of ttc ❤️

@elle123355 You can compare the lines 48 hours apart from each other. I know sometimes you can see a difference every day but please do not be deflated. I can see a line! Looks positive!!

do you have any symptoms?

I have no symptoms except probably a little bit of cramping every so often. That's about it, which is weird as I have 2 children and with them I was sick really badly x

Anon243 · 24/01/2024 09:17

@elle123355 every pregnancy is different. But only you know your body and if you feel something isn't right then I am so sorry to hear that :(. Please keep on updating and I will pray for you. You should be able to see more on tomorrow test.

are you 100% sure when you ovulated?

I'll keep you guys updated, I feel pregnant and I kinda just want it to go smoothly and everything to be alright as I'm 4 days late so surely the tests should be darker x

Joining! 3rd Cycle TTC, 33 YO. Really really tried this month - done everything you can think of. This will be my last one trying hard because it's too much stress and pressure and ruining my sex life 😂Honestly tried everything! All the witch craft, all the sex, all the vitamins and supplements, positions, I got a good dark surge on LH strips Sunday evening, given BBT I probably ovulated Monday 22nd - I am calling myself 2DPO :)

Anon243 · 24/01/2024 10:48

update : just had my January teeth hygienist appointment ( do one in Jan and then July every year).

she had to stop saying my gums is too inflaimed and I am bleeding alot. Now I really dont want my hopes to be high but somehow this made me excited? She weirdy looked at me ( like thinking wtf are you happy about it) 🤣🤣🤣

rosebudbloom · 24/01/2024 11:07

My hygienist said when I went recently that your gums get extra sensitive when pregnant. My gums were a bit sensitive this week and I was like.... could it be? 🤣

Hoping1775 · 24/01/2024 11:15

Super invested in your journey now.

I think I might test tomorrow too. I am either 7-8DPO and I also know it’s too early but I have no self control.

I have cheapies that I can use. I do have some frers aswell and am planning to use one on Friday when I’m 8-9dpo as I’m supposed to be out celebrating our wedding anniversary and obvs wouldn’t touch a drop of alcohol if I had a sniff of a line (even though I do know it’s not likely that early).

If it’s a bfn on Friday in particular, do I just go and have a good evening and not worry about alcohol consumption or would you personally be on the conservative side?

Xx

Ems1992 · 24/01/2024 11:50

@Hoping1775 we also found out we were pregnant on Christmas Day then by the new year we had lost the pregnancy. I’ve read lots of times you are more likely to conceive the month after a chemical so fingers crossed for us both. I am also 5DPO xx

Hoping1775 · 24/01/2024 12:12

I’m so sorry you’ve been through this too. It’s feels like it’s been snatched away.

I’ve read that too and have been hoping it’s true. Kind of what’s kept me going.
We missed my peak for dtd but managed the next day and also a couple days before the peak so hoping that’s enough.

when will you test do you think ? x

@Anon243 I can see something there! Test again and keep us posted - fingers crossed. Wow, that’s super early to get at 7DPO - maybe multiples again?!

@elle123355 you should expect your HCG to double every 48 hours so you should see some progress after every 2 days. There can be variation if testing every 24 hours. If the line hasn’t got darker tomorrow then maybe give your EPU a call to see if they can check your bloods. As you said you’re quite a few days overdue on AF, right? So it should be getting quite dark by now. But I don’t want to put any doubt there as everyone is different and will produce HCG at different rates. Wishing you well and keep us posted. x

I am only 6/7 DPO now, BFN this morning of course!

Anon243 · 24/01/2024 14:02

@AnnieStar12

I am 100% 7dpo cause I did get my peak on the 16th. It is very early and makes me feel scared. It was very traumatic to loose my triplets and I dont know if I can go through that again. But , I will keep in mind it is super early and anything can still happen. So I am not going to act like “I am pregnant” as yet

and for your BFN, it is sooo normal. I have my fingers crossed for you! Still a few more days to go

I'm 11 DPO and still a BFN too!

Anon243 · 24/01/2024 14:05

@rosebudbloom so happy you can see it too. Thanks💕

sorry about your BFN. When do you expect AF? Not out until she shows her face

OP posts:
Ems1992 · 24/01/2024 14:07

@Hoping1775 I will probably test at 10dpo. I really want to wait until the day I’m due AF, which will be the 31st… I have an idea in my head that if we do get pregnant I’m not going to tell anyone not even my husband until I feel sick and can’t hide it… It’s so disheartening for him and I never understood when I read of women on here not telling husbands when they found out they were pregnant but now I get it, he feels so hopeless. However I also had this great idea I would surprise him with all sorts last time and I told him within a second of a second line hahaha so who knows!!

rosebudbloom · 24/01/2024 14:07

Saturday, wish we could press fast forward ⏩

Anon243 · 24/01/2024 14:10

@Ems1992 I once delayed telling my DH and when he found out he felt so betrayed. He said that he is my best friend and want to know . Yea, he is sad and feels hopeless but by not telling him hurt him more. I felt so bad….

@rosebudbloom ahhhhh fast forward button would be the ffffffff best!!!!! The wait is killing me and the hope. If only you can knew immediately and move on you know🤣🤣

5dpo today, having some weird twinges on the left side of my stomach. I never get ovulation or period pain so I don't know if this is something totally unrelated. Also very thirsty today and have a bit of a headache, which is weird, because I'm drinking so much water. These probably have nothing to do with pregnancy but it's very hard not to symptom spot 🤣
