Hi! I'm 4dpo and not feeling too bad yet but I think come 7dpo I'll be itching to test again. I always tell myself I'll be good and wait the 14 days, never works out haha

soymilknosugar · 31/03/2024 19:42

I think I’m 5/6dpo but just going off what I think were ovulation symptoms - I had my last depo in Sept and this is the first month I’ve noticed them anyway so fingers crossed things are starting back up again. Going to try and wait the full 14 days to test but like @littlepanda88 will probably cave at some point next week!

Hi, 4DPO on our first round of IUI. Trying to distract ourselves to wait the full 14 days. But I know from about 10dpo I am going to struggle refraining from testing but my other half is adamant we will wait!!

Rokaj · 31/03/2024 20:52

Hi everyone.

5dpo today and just counting down the days. I’ve never known time to go so slow! Like you @HappiestInTheHills this is our first try of iui. Hope everyone is keeping well/keeping busy.

Hello, I'm 5DPO and itching to test already 😂

Ella31 · 31/03/2024 21:27

I'm 3dpo. Trying for technically our third. But we have no living children yet. We lost our twin sons after birth at 29 weeks. Stillborn and neonatal death at 4 days old a few months ago.

So desperate to bring a living child home. Hopefully this thread will be lucky.

I'm so sorry for your loss, can't even begin to imagine what you've been through. Fingers crossed this is your month!

Same to you @Rokaj how are you finding ttc?

Rokaj · 31/03/2024 21:49

@Ella31

Im married to my DW so we've had to go down the route of fertility treatment. We started the process via nhs 3 years ago so it's a bit surreal and lots of emotions to even be at this point.

Aw you both have had such a long journey. I really hope this is it for you. The emotions are ridiculous aren't they? It's so overwhelming.

I'm the same. Only 3dpo and my tests are in the drawer waiting.

Plantpott · 31/03/2024 22:24

I'm 5dpo too. I don't feel that hopeful for this month but I'm still symptom spotting like crazy and itching to test!

LW678 · 01/04/2024 06:56

Welcome everyone! Has anybody got any major symptoms standing out? @Plantpott I feel the same, I have no symptoms but desperate to feel something! @Ella31 I am so sorry for your losses, what you’ve been through no one should have to go through. Wishing you all the luck x

Morning! I’m 7dpo and no symptoms whatsoever, I’m not feeling hopeful this month to be honest, Ive had a few drinks over Easter weekend which I’ve heard can disrupt implantation.

Aw @Rokaj my DW & I are in the same position! Hi!! 👋🏼
Similarly to you, we’ve had such a long NHS wait to get here. We’ve gone though so many emotions after feeling like we would never get here. Seeing so many friends & family having little ones was getting increasingly harder which made me feel awful because I was also so excited for them.
Fingers crossed for you & DW.
I’m trying to be really positive but don’t want to get my hopes up too much just yet and be really disappointed. Just grateful to finally be on our journey!

Very sore boobs which I had with my late twins but I could also be completely imagining this too.

@YaWeeFurryBastard I went out Easter too. I'll say one thing. I felt so guilty about that yesterday that I looked back on my notes when I conceived my late twins and I had champagne 8 days brfore my positive with them as we were celebrating an event.

Think of all the unplanned pregnancies due to a few drinks that happen.

Oh bless you that’s actually pretty reassuring. My husband says it will be fine just look at all the alcoholics that get pregnant 🤣. I think I’m going to lay off it next month though. I have everything crossed for you this month, when are you thinking of testing?

soymilknosugar · 01/04/2024 13:01

Sore boobs here too but wondering if it’s my mind playing tricks

Plantpott · 01/04/2024 14:19

I've got sore boobs too. I had this when I was pregnant before from 5dpo but I do also get soreness with AF. The soreness now isn't my usual AF pattern but as this is my first proper cycle after my MMC my hormones could be a little out of wack so I won't get my hopes up.

I'm 4dpo so thinking 8dpo which would be Friday, I know it's so early but I won't last until then otherwise 😅

What about you?

Probably tomorrow at 8dpo as well, fully expecting a negative unfortunately!

YaWeeFurryBastard · 01/04/2024 14:45

The only thing I can do to reassure you is I had two early mc before my late twins and I remember feeling so despaired after ovulation this month last year because I was like here's another disappointment, and lo and behold the first test I did was a positive early digital and it was twins.

I was in shock. The weird and rubbish thing about all this is....it just happens. Look at other threads, the same poster is having bfn after bfn each cycle, suddenly gets a positive and then they are kindly telling others what they did that cycle, but in reality unless there's a serious issue, we are all dtd around ovulation. I think it's luck, timing and conditions out of our control have to be right.

So what I'm saying is, you'll have your "oh my god," moment and it's "when" not "if"

I conceived straight after my second loss this time last year. This time around after losing those twins at 29 weeks im on cycle 4 this month trying. There's no science to this , I think your body knows more than our minds do. It will happen xxx😍😍🥰

YaWeeFurryBastard · 01/04/2024 17:55

@Ella31 thank you that’s really helped, I’ll just wait and see what this week brings 💐.
