I’m 3dpo, 4th month of trying for no2. im sat here with cramping and needing to wee more frequently than usual.
with my first I had symptoms from 2DPO and got a BFP at 9dpo.

anyone else in the long wait and want to join?

Think my dates are similar to yours! 🤗
Also wildly symptom spotting over here... Sore nipples, backache and some cramping.

With my first I had symptoms early too, and a bfp 2 weeks after conception

Gryffindoratheart · 20/08/2024 08:54

I had an embryo transfer yesterday so I'm 1dp5dt today. The wait is always the worst but!

Samthenanny · 20/08/2024 09:06

hi @Dullblue1234 oh it’s so hard to not symptom spot isn’t it.

I thought this time around it would be as quick as with my first but it seems not.

Will you wait it out for AF to arrive or will you test early?

Dullblue1234 · 20/08/2024 11:18

@Samthenanny so hard!
Trying to distract myself with work and walks so I don't sit goggling every symptom 😂
I will probably cave and test around 10dpo or on Saturday. What about you? X

Shivshiv88 · 20/08/2024 12:38

Hi 👋 4dpo and I swear I can smell things that don't exist and it's making me feel ill ( could be in my head but I can smell Christmas air freshener !) and my dog is being very nice to me ( usually just wants to chew me but is now sitting in my lap pleasantly and guarding - again could be in my head) 2 week wait ! X

Samthenanny · 20/08/2024 12:39

Hi @Gryffindoratheart
ooh exciting, what day can you test?

@Dullblue1234 I think I’ll test 10dpo so that’ll be next Tuesday! Then I’m going up north to visit family so that will take my mind off the impending arrival of AF.
how long have you been trying this time around?

Dullblue1234 · 20/08/2024 13:08

@Samthenanny I think I ovulated evening 15th, as I can usually feel it! The next morn, I had the static smiley on CB... So I'm guessing that puts me at around 5dpo. My bbt dropped today, which I'm hoping might be implantation from what I've read!
This is cycle 3 for baby 2, what about you?

Gryffindoratheart · 20/08/2024 14:55

@Samthenanny I can test on 28/08 with a blood test, so 9 days post transfer! Hoping for a sticky one this time, my last transfer ended in an ectopic.

Dullblue1234 · 20/08/2024 15:57

@Gryffindoratheart oooh everything crossed for you!

Lollystar15 · 20/08/2024 18:38

I'm 5dpo today and already fed up of waiting to find out. This is the 2nd cycle of ttc #2. First child took 8 months in the end so not expecting it to be quick this time but oh I wish it was. I didn't have any symptoms with her until I was 6 weeks so I can't even compare 🤣

Samthenanny · 21/08/2024 07:23

hi @Shivshiv88 they say pets know so maybe you are 😊

@Gryffindoratheart so a week today, fingers crossed for you and I hope it goes quickly

@Dullblue1234 same here I can feel ovulation, I bet more ovulation cramps than I do af cramps.
this cycle 4 for baby no2. I had a chemical 2 cycles ago also.
it happened first cycle with my first so I assumed it’d be the same but I guess I’m older, more tired and more stressed having a toddler haha

OP posts:
Dullblue1234 · 21/08/2024 08:31

@Samthenanny ahh exactly the same! I fell 1st time with my first.
Sorry about your chemical 🫶
Here's hoping this is the month for us all

@Lollystar15 have you decided if/when you're gonna test?

ljb23 · 21/08/2024 08:51

I'm on the 2WW. I ruled myself out yesterday and took a just incase test this morning at 11DPO. I'm hoping it's a positive as I can see a vvfl

Anyone else on the long 2WW?
Samthenanny · 21/08/2024 09:12

@Lollystar15 👋 oh wow really, that’d be quite nice. I think I was about 5dpo last time and knew instantly so it felt like a loooong pregnancy haha.
when will you test? Or are you good at waiting?

@Dullblue1234 thanks.
bodies are strange aren’t they. How olds your little one?
yes fingers crossed for us all

@ljb23 I can see the line and I’m usually rubbish with vfl, congratulations! How you feeling?

mumzy67 · 21/08/2024 09:33

Hi all,

I'm also on the wait - due on on Sunday so going to try and hold out until then for any testing, it's so difficult though not overthinking every little thing and comparing to previous pregnancies.
Good luck to everyone Smile

CadoAvo · 21/08/2024 09:36

Hello all, I'm currently 3dpo today 🤞🏼
Been trying for baby number 1 with 2 early miscarriages along the way so hoping for 3rd time lucky.

Dullblue1234 · 21/08/2024 09:40

@Samthenanny he's 4 now.... Didn't really want this big of a gap, but that's life ey?

Ahh @ljb23 I see it! 🥳🥳 I'm only around 6dpo, so holding out x

Liz212NZ · 21/08/2024 10:38

I've just got past the 2WW & breasts bigger, tender, tingly nipples & have been having mild period cramps on/off for 3 days, usually just a few hours & it happens. We've been trying to do this for 2 years (child number 3) but I don't dare take the test incase I'm just telling myself these symptoms because I want them & I'm not

Samthenanny · 21/08/2024 13:22

@Dullblue1234 oh totally and it goes so quickly. My little one will be 2 next month

Currently 9DPO, been cramping mildly since 1DPO, definitely more sore on 7DPO, it’s my first time TTC so not sure if it’s all in my head… no spotting but have developed thrush??

No sore boobs, just lots of cramping and tired? Going to test on Sunday, when I’ll be 13DPO

Ohhh I bet it did! I'll probably test Sunday (9dpo) or Monday (10dpo) even though I know I should wait 🙈 I reach a point where I'd rather just know for that day and then focus on other things until the next morning.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

WhoOfWhoville · 21/08/2024 23:00

Me. 7 months of trying. 5mg Letrozole this cycle. USS on CD 11 showed far more follicles than I’ve had before, but only one dominant so dr gave us the go ahead to try as usual as I have low AMH and my DP has male factor too. Chances of us conceiving at all slim, never mind conceiving loads of babies 🤣

I think I’m 9dpo, had some RT sided pelvic stitch type discomfort on a dog walk yesterday, boobs are full and firm and my nipples want everyone to know about them. I daren’t let myself hope though.
