Two week wait anyone?

[Aisling1010]

Anyone else currently in TWW? I’m 4dpo and anxiously waiting until I can test.

I am currently trying to conceive my 3rd baby. I have 2 girls who are 6 and 8. And I’m desperately hoping they to see a positive test
My periods have been very irregular for the past year or so. But got a positive ovulation test on Sunday morning and have done BD with hubby last Wed, Saturday night and Monday night.
🤞🤞

Im also anxious because as ridiculous as it sounds I’ve had 2 online readings from 2 different psychics last month, one said I would conceive in November and give birth in August and one said September and December would be important months. Now I can’t get it out of my head that I won’t convince until the end of the year (if that even happens) 🙈🙈

I had no problems conceiving my first two girls 6 and 8 years ago, happen on first try both times so I am desperately hoping it will be the same this time. I am 30 now so still young.

sorry for the long read! X

I stupidly tested last night🙈 negative of course! I was only 6dpo!

7dpo today. I was going to wait to later in the week to start tested because I think I’ll start from tomorrow morning. Because I’m impatient. Using clear and simple early response tests.
Regarding the EWCM I had quite a bit at 4DPO too, then kind of just went completely dry, had a little bit today. I’m not what it should be like at this stage! Did you use OPks no?

🤞🤞 for you ❤️

is this your first you are trying for? X

@RainbowCrocs I’m exactly the same. At 7dpo keep thinking ohh that’s definitely a symptom etc but probably isn’t anything!

my only symptoms really are on and off cramping, boobs a tiny bit sore. But that’s pretty normal symptoms before my period anyway to it’s impossible to know the difference! I just want to know already 🤣

haha yess it turns us into crazy people!

Yes, they recommend every other day when ttc. I think it’s something to do with that frequency being the best for optimal sperm quality.

I think that’s only if there is a problem with the sperm @Revelatio - if no issues then daily is actually better.

I was wondering about this so did quite a bit of googling last week!

@Aisling1010 Thank you ! 🙏 no trying for second now. My son is 2 years old and we started trying when he was about 14 months. He was conceived via ivf. I had an early miscarriage in October. I have PCOS and my periods used to be really erratic but since they returned post partum they are regular !!

Hi all, can I join? I’m 2 dpo. I’ve got a little girl who’s 2 & a half. We had 4 recurrent miscarriages before her and 1 last year. We’ve decided to try again. I’m so nervous I’ve got to start taking progesterone asap but I’m waiting for my consultant to get back to me x

Hi

Hoping to join 7DPO here and tested and it was negative.. which i know is to early but had spotting on 5dpo on one wipe which i've never had before and am having cramps along with constipation.

Hoping it all our month! Going try not to test until saturday/Sunday - how is everyone else feeling?

Hi!! Ahh I’m 7dpo too tested last night and it was negative too which I was obviously expecting! It’s very very rare to get a positive that early! I
I’m still going to test again tomorrow though 😅

But yes waiting to Saturday/ Sunday would be more ideal!

ohh that spotting could definitely indicate implantation bleeding!

Hi! Of course. It’s great to speak to so many people in the same boat! I’m so sorry to hear about your previous miscarriages 😢

did the drs recommend you taking progesterone? X

Jumping in to join the symptom sporting; TTC for the first time, 7dpo and driving myself nuts.

Loving how many people are in the same boat!
7dpo here too!
What symptoms are you feeling today and what have you been feeling the last few days?

I’ve had a bit of nausea, cramping and some dizziness which is what’s making me think it’s maybe something else. I’ve also been quite emotional today but I have PNDD, so I don’t know if it’s that or a reaction to a hormone surge. It’s my first cycle properly trying! So I can’t believe it would happen this soon, I’m also 43, but not peri menopausal.

I'll add to the symptom spotting 😂 telling myself that it's the same hormones as PMS and 'pregnancy symptoms' don't come untill HGC levels are high enough to be spotted on a test but...
Sensitive nipples and bigger than normal al boobs (hard to tell with this one cos still BF DC1 and go all day at work with out doing so, but last night still pretty big after a big feed)
Very bloated with mild cramps
Tireder than usual, physically as well which is what happened with DC1
Experienced a bit of back ache on the weekend too!

As I said all PMS symptoms as well though 😂

@JumpinJellyfish

That’s odd, my husband had good test results but they advised us that every other day was best for conception. It’s such an non-exact science I imagine nobody is completely certain!

I’m due in a week and have no symptoms. Last few month I have been convinced I was pregnant due to symptoms, but they must have been pre-menstrual as have come in like clockwork. When I’ve been pregnant in the past I’ve not noticed until around day 31 when I’ve felt sick!

First cycle TTC ever and 6dpo today I think (clearblue put me at peak at CD16 but easy@home strips had me at CD20 which was last Wednesday)! I have been taking (cheap) tests just in case and to just get it out of my system (so far all negative) But I'm swayed to believe the cheap ones a bit more! Think I'll take a FRER on Friday at 9dpo!

@Revelatio these are the studies I found:

https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/oct/12/will-having-sex-every-day-increase-my-fertility - this one suggests that daily sex has immune benefits for the woman (actual study linked within the article)

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090630075311.htm - and this one says daily sex improves sperm quality (where no male issues)

Personally I couldn’t manage it every day though so we do something similar to the sperm meets egg plan - every other day from when my period stops and then daily once I see EWCM.

Every other day throughout your cycle is usually recommended when not tracking ovulation as it means you’ll definitely hit the fertile window at some point without exhausting yourself!

Im 6dpo today and no symptoms at all!

I tested this morning, 8dpo. Totally negative
but I haven’t lost hope yet at all because I know that’s still ridiculously early

symptoms today are just super tired, constant mild cramping, sore boobs, sensitive nipples

how’s everyone else today?

Really random sore breasts when you press them or like just anyway? Thinking i'm imagining symptom at this point lol but i am squeezing.

I'm not testing today and my temp dropped a little today at 8dpo.

The last couple of days I’ve been pressing them
to see if they hurt lol they hurt just a little bit the last 2 days but today they definitely hurt only when I press them.
but then again that’s normal for me before AF anyway !

when do you plan to test?

8dpo is waaaayyy early @Aisling1010! you are definitely not out yet.

I only trust pink dye tests and am also very stingy so I won’t test until 10/11dpo. 10dpo is my son’s birthday so I might wait until the next day as I don’t want to feel down that day if I get a bfn!

Hi all, 1dpo and not going to think too much sbout this one as i was convinced i was pregnant last month! Heading towards 40 and this will be my last baby (5th) so not very hopeful 🙄

Welcome @Xxfifixx89 - wow - no 5! How old are your other kids?

Aged from 10-22… i mist be mental to want more haha
