Hey all, 4po tomorrow! Would love company to make the days go quicker 😁

Cycle 2 TTC after an early MC last month! DP works nights so trying this month wasn't great timing wise. We managed to BD 5 and 2 days before ovulation so I'm hoping it's enough.

Xx

@Marie1990x an avid early tester is such a funny title haha 😂

Hahaha it’s very much an issue at this point 😂

JMassey · 08/10/2024 16:14

Haha! I'm a bit better today, still bloated and crampy. 6 DPO today and symptom spotting is in full flow! 😂

I lost count at the 18 month mark 😂, so anywhere between 18 months and 2 years.

I had an ultrasound a few days before my peak opk where it showed a dominant follicle suggesting I should ovulate soon, so I’m hoping it was accurate. I usually get somewhat of a peak, but this one was really strong (a lot more than most I get), and my boobs have hurt since, hoping it’s a good sign it happened 🤞🏻.

I was just in boots and stocked up on a bunch of cheapie tests to satisfy my POAS addiction 😂.

When is everyone planning on testing? I’m annoyingly an avid early tester x

Edited

Oh you've had a long journey, really got everything crossed for you! I don't actually know when I'll test, I think 5dpo today so maybe when I get 12dpo if I can hold out! When will you test?

OverthinkingBrain · 08/10/2024 17:43

I've had a few cramps today too and woke up with a headache. Trying to ignore it all and not pay any attention!

Marie1990x · 08/10/2024 18:01

@OverthinkingBrain ahh it’s so hard not to symptom spot. I haven’t for a while as I hadn’t had a strong opk in recent months so just plodded along, but now I had one I’m constantly googling 😂.

I’ll be testing from 8DPO 😂. Literally can’t control myself and working from home doesn’t help. You’re stronger than me if you hold out until 12dpo!

Sorry if tmi, but my nipples are soooo tingly and itchy today along with the typical sore boobs. Also got a constant thirst I can’t get rid of no matter how much I drink. I know it’s nothing pregnancy related as far too early, but I can hope 😂

I work from home too so I very much doubt I'll hold out til 12dpo but I'm certainly going to try! How many dpo did you say you are?

I’m only 4dpo, possibly 5 but more likely 4. So I’ll probably test to satisfy the urge on Saturday.

Dont know why I bother as with DD I only got a vvvv faint line at 10dpo but I can’t resist

I'm the same as you then, 5dpo I think. I was the same with my DS, I didn't test positive until the day AF was due. My DD wasn't planned so I didn't realise with her until I was already 7 weeks gone. With my DS we tried for 14 months and had a MC the month before but DD took us by surprise as we weren't trying at that time.

MyGardenDaisies · 08/10/2024 19:35

Haha I WFH too and it’s the worst as every wee break I wanted to test again last cycle!

Im the same!! I've been really bad with opks this month, must have done 4 or 5 a day 😂

Marie1990x · 08/10/2024 19:57

@OverthinkingBrain @MyGardenDaisies haha I’m glad we’re all in the same boat with the obsessive testing.

@OverthinkingBrain omg 7 weeks! Must have been quite the surprise 😍

It was a massive surprise 😂

OverthinkingBrain · 09/10/2024 10:17

How is everyone feeling? I've defo got some cramping and twinges as it took me by surprise whilst on the school run. Trying to ignore it

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 10:52

@OverthinkingBrain I’ve felt some twinges, but I had the same cycle 1 last month and I wasn’t pregnant, so trying not to overthink too much.

6DPO today.

JKDcot · 09/10/2024 10:59

Can I join please!?! I hate this wait….

I'm 6dpo too today, I've just read implantation happens usually day 6 -12 so trying not get my hopes up. My head is banging too!

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 11:04

To feel more in control I’ve written a plan of everything else I could do if this cycle is not successful, all the pre seed lubes, other more niche vitamins and supplements, acupuncture etc
makes me feel like there’s a plan for the remaining 3 cycles this year if this one is not ours.

I like this! I've used preseed this cycle, I also used it when ttc my first, I do think it worked aswell. Have you looked at seed cycling? I've done that this cycle aswell and I've noticed that the post ovulation spotting I usually get until AF comes hasn't happened yet so its possible that's helped.

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 11:38

@OverthinkingBrain never heard of it, but I’m not the biggest fan of seeds, so might put that at the bottom of my trying list haha

I just got my FRER tests delivered and decided to test on Monday first as then according to the instructions the result is 94% accurate apparently.

could test on Friday but then only 74% accurate and it would only be 8DPO.

Eekk exciting, everything crossed!! I think I'll try wait until Tuesday but I know I won't hold out

JMassey · 09/10/2024 11:52

7 DPO today, not much today, bit of back ache but the cramps have calmed down and not feeling as bloated. Husband's Birthday Saturday so going to try and wait till then to test!

lockdownbabyx · 09/10/2024 11:54

Morning all! How is everyone feeling? Like Every body else I've been trying not to symptom spot but it's so hard! I'm 6dpo and it has actually gone quickly so far as I've been really busy but I have no plans now for the rest of the week! I'm going to want to test early I know I am. With my first I got a positive at 9dpo which is super early I know. My second I didn't find out I was pregnant until about 7 weeks. Il prob start testing on Saturday 😄. My bbt dropped again slightly this morning so I'm praying it's due to implantation and it will start to go up again!

OverthinkingBrain · 09/10/2024 12:00

If you guys are testing Saturday then I'll definitely cave 😂 or it might be okay and I'll through both of your updates 😂

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 12:05

Haha it’s so hard isn’t it!

I was saying to my husband that I wish I could step out of my body as it’s constant symptom checking - boobs, discharge, cramps, mood, temperature… it’s like I’m a walking pregnancy test 24/7!

anxious247 · 09/10/2024 12:06

Hi everyone I hope you are all well 💝

I'm joining too I'm 4dpo...
