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)

Congrats @TrishyLou1111 !! 🎉

@jellyfish2 I don't test now until I'm late, I tested a lot on Jan thinking it was my month so decided to hold out till AF is late my cycles are normally 28 to 32 days apart. I have been making sure I keep a record of my TWW symptoms so I can compare and spot the difference and so far every month has been different but this first month not had boob pain after ovulation.

This evening cramps in my belly have come back and touched my lower feels tender and sorry TMI bowels have been looser this evening too.

If you can I would deff keep a log of your symptoms this month to compare yourself if ever needed.

When do you plan to test?

@Roseberry22 Yeah deff something a little bit different going on this month that's for sure and thank you x

@UnicornPrincessSarah yeah I should keep note I think I'll start doing that.

I was thinking the weekend when I'll be 11/12 dpo. I got my last bfp at 9dpo.

@TrishyLou1111 congratulations ♥️

how’s everyone feeling this morning? My temps back up this morning, my highest yet actually. 7dpo this morning and I’m thinking about testing, going to take all my will power and sense to stop me testing till this weekend. 🤣

@Youlooknicejackie1 I've never checked temperature what does it mean if it's high now?
I'm ok feeling bloated and a bit gassy but unsure if that's even related haha.

@jellyfish2 I’m bloated too, it’s so hard to try distinguish between PMS symptoms and pregnancy isn’t it. My temp normally drops a few days before AF and I’m due on Sunday so just looking out for it either staying high or giving me a indication that’s it’s on it’s way x

Countdown begins - currently 5/6 DPO - Nipples still sore and CRAZY realistic dreams for 3 days now....I just stocked up on tests. Trying not to break into them until at least Friday 8/9DPO 😂

I wished the TWW went quicker! Started the 7dpo mind going crazy phase I end up in until around 11dpo haha

Still have some creamy white CM, have had slight slower back ache today and felt sick all morning but I think this must just be changing hormones for me as I feel like I normally feel no different.

feel like I’ve already wrote myself off this month, why’s it so hard :(

I caved and looked at my temp, it seems very consistent compared to other cycles where it’s up and down more, not holding out hope this is a sign, how’s everyone else’s chart looking?

@bulletproofcoffee im resisting even buying tests until Friday or I know Il start doing 2 a day 🤣

@Roseberry22 my chart is similar to yours, normally I’m up and down the cover line, everything seems more consistent this month for me. Besides the dip on 6dpo (secretly hoping it was a implantation dip) Don’t count yourself out yet, I’m positive thinking my way to a positive test this month ☺️Ive had a slightly achy back too today, and almost like AF cramps but more dull and stretchy. When are you thinking of testing? X

Im unsure as to why my ovulation day this time has been marked the day after my temp rise, looking at other people’s charts and even my own previously it seems to normally be the day before the rise x

Hi all

Please can I join? TTC number 2, cycle 8.

I get pretty much the same symptoms every month both pre and post ovulation.

I had one random cycle where I had ovulation bleeding, never ever had that before and was convinced it would be the month but...no 😭

Currently around 6-8dpo (I won't use opks anymore due to the stress and pressure). Cramps since yesterday, very bloated, mood changes, some cm...also standard symptoms for me and from my googling (lol) it's due to progesterone rise following ovulation. Who knows eh?

@Fairy0708 hello ☺️ it’s so annoying how pre AF and early pregnancy symptoms are basically the same isn’t it. I’m experiencing bloating too today, and some cramps. Also heartburn but I’m putting that down to the BLT I had for lunch 🤣 when are you planning on testing?

@jellyfish2 Ah fingers crossed for you you get your BFP

Todays update for me

7 DPO Tue 19th March, Woke up 6.30am with horrible middle lower back pain and cramps in my uterus area, this pain actually woke me up and lasted about 2 hours. Had some left-side boob pain today as well on the inside of breast, above and underneath. A little bit gassy today aswell, some pains/twinges around my left hip side. Discharge today when checking cervix has been white/yellow lotionlike. Still bloated and fatigued

Compared to

7 DPO Feb - Woke up 4am and struggled to fall back to sleep, Twinges in my left hip area still like pulled muscle or stitch, Tightness in my left bum cheek, and Left side boob twinges, Discharge white when checking cervix, Before I went to bed it felt like I maybe coming down with a cold as had a lump in throat feeling

@Roseberry22 dont even start me with the temp charts, mine is doing my literal head in! 🤣 the fact it’s just above cover line is so irritating as I’m wondering if it’s a good sign it’s still “high” but is it high enough…

@Youlooknicejackie1 i have confusion over ovulation date this cycle too! NC has put me at CD14 day of BBT rise but I am pretty confident it was CD13 going by OPK and knowing that temps rise 24 hour after ov…

.

@Youlooknicejackie1 ill probably test Saturday if my temp stays up as I’m meant to be going out with some friends! When are you thinking?

@Fairy0708 welcome, fingers crossed for you this cycle.

@dreammama is it usual for your temp to be around 36.6 7dpo? If so I’d still think your in with a chance as implantation might not have happened yet! Last month natural cycles had ovulation 2 days out I was adamant and then bam period arrived 13 dpo like always so I do think they can get it wrong sometimes

Glad we're all still firmly in ladies!

9dpo for me now. Really intense abdominal cramps last night, needed ibuprofen and a heat pouch to be able to get to sleep. Definitely unusual for me. If no AF by tomorrow lunch I'll order some FRER for the weekend.

@Roseberry22 took temp this morning and it’s gone back up to 36.73 so there might be a chance still!

How is everyone this morning? I think I’m going to test on Friday morning as I am supposed to be going on a hen do so want to know before if I’m pregnant. It’s still too early to test as I’m not due on until Tuesday but I can’t wait any longer! Xx

@dreammama mine has gone up to 36.81 this morning so similar to you it’s remaining quite steady! 8dpo for me today so I’ll see what temps for over the next couple of days as usually they’d start tailoring off. Fingers crossed for us both.

@YorkshirePeridot does AF usually arrive 10dpo for you? Good luck for testing

Has anyone got any other symptoms today?

I keep thinking I feel like my boobs are tingling then not sore if it's my imagination. Feel slightly bloated but could be anything. I'm definitely looking for symptoms 😂. There's nothing really obvious anyway.

With my last 2 pregnancies I had a small nosebleed but that hasn't happened so maybe not my month, I know it's still really early though.

@Roseberry22 Yeah it arrived at 10dpo last month, and as that was the first month I tracked ovulation it's all I have to compare to. I'm checking for blood on every toilet visit today, none yet thankfully!

@jellyfish2 it's so hard not to symptom spot! I'm so crampy today but whether that's a good sign or bad I don't know 😕

@dreammama an early detection test may well pick something up on Friday, fingers crossed for you

Sorry if this is TMI ladies but is anyone clued up on CM? The last few days I’ve had yellow tinged, creamy cm which I don’t believe is normal for me. 100% not an infection. Then today my cm has been less but still yellow tinged and almost a hint of brown. Any ideas what this could be? Reading in to this so much and it may be nothing but I really don’t recall this in any of my recent cycles. X

Where in your cycle are you? I usually start noticing yellow tinged cm around 4/5 days before AF is due
