And so it begins again… 4dpo

[Youlooknicejackie1]

id like to call it a 2WW but I know il test on CD10 as I’ve got no restraint at all. I can’t believe it’s been a year of ttc already. I use natural cycles and my ovulation wasn’t ‘scheduled’ for another week but woke up this morning and the app has decided I ovulated 4 days ago. I had a suspicion anyway from my temps so managed to BD the day before and the day of ovulation. Anyone else in the early stages of the TWW? (Or ten day in my case)

@jellyfish2 im thinking Friday if I can hold off until then, il be 10dpo. I only have a 11 day luteal phase normally and my temp usually drops off a day or two before my period so that’ll be a good indication for me. I say this every month but I have a good feeling about this one 🤣

@Youlooknicejackie1 positive thinking definitely helps! Fingers crossed 😊 I logged bloating and heartburn at 7dpo when I was pregnant last time so will keep an eye out for that.

Is it strange to say I hope you wake up bloated with heartburn? 🤣x

@Youlooknicejackie1 haha not if it means a BFP! 😁

Temp drop this morning but still above cover line. Awful nights sleep too, lots of dreams and waking myself up. How’s everyone else feeling? ☺️

@Youlooknicejackie1 lets hope the vivid dreams are a positive sign for you!! I took my BBT again this morning and it’s gone down again, but still above cover line. Thinking I’m going to be out the month based on the trend unless it goes back up tomorrow… xx

Are any of you ladies taking supplements/ vitamins to aid TTC? I have had 2 early losses and so trying for #1. Found out I have an underactive thyroid so I’m on thyroxine and then been given progesterone and blood thinning injections from day of BFP. But what supplements are you taking yourself? I have been on Zita West for a while but so expensive!

I’m not checking my bbt now until 11 dpo if I can help it as I find I just worry myself over the slightest of changes!

Ive had the most vivid dreams the last 2 nights as well but unfortunately for me I seem to get this and insomnia in the tww so not a pregnancy symptom.

Does anyone have an CM? The last 2 days I’ve had creamy white discharge so I’m thinking maybe I’m out this cycle as I’ve heard it should dry up but I’m only 6dpo so not sure if it would be too early as implantation wouldn’t have even happened by now!

@Youlooknicejackie1 @dreammama fingers crossed it shoots back up tomorrow!

@dreammama me and my husband are taking Proceive multivitamins and omega 3 and coq10 I quite like these but they’ve not being a magic vitamin as still not conceived! They haven’t really messed with my cycle too much though so carrying on with them

@Roseberry22 ah similar to me then! We are taking Zita West vital DHA, CoQ10, fertility support supps and then I’m also on high strength Vit D, selenium, NAC… swear I rattle when I walk! 😂😂😂

I've just been to the toilet and sorry tmi but when I wiped there was a lot of creamy/yellowy cm. That's unusual! I wouldn't expect any before my period normally.

@jellyfish2 I have the same thing as you. Two nights of insane dreaming. Im shattered this morning too. Think nipples are a bit sore!

Background: potentially 4DPO. I had solid smiley on am of CD13, managed to BD CD 12,13, 14 & 16. Hoping to be my month. Cycle 3 of serious trying and Cycle 6 overall.

@jellyfish2 ive been the exact same (currently 5/6dpo) and its been really heavy, creamy yellowish in the mornings and less so throughout the day. No idea what it means though 😅 slightly less today than the past few days tho x

@dreammama hopefully it's a good sign!

@dreammama @jellyfish2 🙋‍♀️ I've also had more cm than normal, there's also a bit of blood in mine today (7dpo). I can't say I've ever noticed it on precious cycles so I'm choosing to believe its a good sign for all of us.

Well I’ve had a two hour ‘nap’ today and cried because my DP has made me a new ‘planter box’ (his words) for the garden and it’s so ugly. Either pregnancy symptoms or AF is fast approaching 🤣

Hi guys!

I finally got my BFP this month, and I tested 12DPO.

Good luck, everyone, and baby dust to all! Xx

Hi Ladies @Youlooknicejackie1 @Roseberry22 @TrishyLou1111 @YorkshirePeridot @bulletproofcoffee @dreammama @hstanford @jellyfish2 @moosey89

How are we all doing today

Here is how my TWW is going bit of a long post for you to read but may help me and others in the future to see differences and compare

Flo predicted ovulation on 12th March I had ovulation pain and ECWM on 12th and 13th March, Pre mom predicted ovulation 14th of March

Have DTD 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th March so far

So if going off the start of pain on 12th March makes me 6 DPO today

1,2,3 DPO no symptoms normally have painful boobs after ovulation not happened at all so far this month

6 DPO Mon 18th March, I woke up with a sore throat and Stuffy nose, and body aches, also period-like cramps in the middle of my lower belly and back that lasted about 1 hour, When checking the cervix I noticed a smear of brown discharge and later in the day yellow discharge.

Congratulations and a happy and healthy 9 months, can i ask did you have any symptoms or lack of compared to your other months when you got AF?

@YorkshirePeridot implantation spotting maybe? Fingers crossed for you!! Xx

@TrishyLou1111 awww huge congrats to you hun! So exciting.

@UnicornPrincessSarah sounds like you’re super in tune with your body/ symptoms which is great! Maybe the brown CM today could be a good sign, I’ve also had yellowish CM but really have no idea if that’s just typical for this point in a cycle? Do you track BBT at all?

@TrishyLou1111 congratulations!! Lovely news 🩷

@UnicornPrincessSarah that does sound promising!! I can't remember ever noticing my boobs being sore around ovulation before but they've been feeling tender. I feel like I'm a bit out of sync with my body because of my MC but fingers crossed. When are you going to test?

@TrishyLou1111 congratulations!

@UnicornPrincessSarah sounds like you have some similar but some different symptoms, fingers crossed for you

@YorkshirePeridot it could be an implantation bleed! I noticed this last month but unfortunately it didn’t come to anything, I’m just saying that as I got my hopes up and I was so disappointed, hopefully a different outcome for you this month!

@Youlooknicejackie1 do you usually get tired/emotional around this time?

Hi all..

So I've been trying to conceive my last baby for 8 months, and it's been a slog, not going to lie.

The constant POAS, stressing, trying to calender in DTD so make sure we are covered, wondering if we did enough, the dreaded TWW and symptom spotting, I just couldn't do another month of it.

I stopped it all. The only thing I have done differently is not stress and relax. What I did notice but didn't overthink as it's incredibly soul destroying constantly getting negative tests were these little bits...

♡ A small amount of blood around 8DPO and cramping for a few days like my period was about to start. This has happened in previous pregnancies, so I had a slight inkling but didn't want to get my hopes up as it happened prior to AF for me.

♡ Increase in discharge (but this is normal prior to period for me anyway, so didn't overthink)

♡ Weird, very vivid dreams. Mainly about my daddy, who passed away 2019. Again, it's not something that would strike me as a symptom because I'm a vivid dreamer anyway. However, these were odd and very 'real'.

♡ The worst case of tonsillitis I have EVER had. I had to be hospitalised. I'm only just home with another week of antibiotics. I mean, this isn't a symptom, but it's like my immune system dropped, and I was ravaged by bacteria. So poorly.

♡ This isn't something I've had with previous pregnancies, but I've been red hot. All of the time, like sweating. I genuinely thought I was peri menipaus having hot sweats. Must be hormones.

No boob pains or anything like that. However, at this point, at just around 4 weeks pregnant, I feel terribly sick. I suffer from HG in pregnancy, but it's never quite hit this early. Multiple? Argh, who knows!

I'm going to be following this thread and praying you all get your BFPs xx

Thanks, and yeah wanted to keep a track of my TWW symptoms since TTC so I can compare and look back to see how they can be different and so far all 3 TTC have been different, but one main thing was Jan and Feb I had the most horrible boob pain right from ovulation up to AF but don't have any boob pain this month at all

I would recommend to anyone to always write down what happens to them in the TWW as can help to see the tricks our bodies play on us.

Im not using OPK or BTT just yet as trying to stay less stressed we just DTD every 3 days from when my period ends and stop a few days before I'm due, had 2 blood test to confirm I do ovulate

I think I had some yellow last month to
