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.

I have no twinges today like i did yesteday, but i think i have slightly sore boobs?? Could totally be in my head though. But i do know last month i had sore boobs before i came on so it means nothing really! I have been actually okay with no testing until today - now i feel desperate!!! This week seems to be going to slow too….

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 13:52

@AmberM223 have you got tests at home or holding on and not buying yet?
I bet I’ll test when I get my cheap strips delivered tomorrow.

I would love to surprise my husband with a positive

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!

Haha I'm with you!! I'm so tuned into these cramps and twinges today which I probably wouldn't even notice 😂

Hi everyone I hope you are all well 💝

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

Hi how are you? What ttc cycle are you on? Do you have any children already?

I agree, I've had a busy week but still feel like it's constantly on my mind! How many dpo are you?

anxious247 · 09/10/2024 14:21

@OverthinkingBrain thanks for the reply.

I didn't mention this as I don't want to offend anyone as I know TTC is difficult for a lot of people : (

But I'm actually in the 2ww when I wasn't actively ttc. It's a very long story as to why I'm not on contraception atm but dp has been doing a great job of pulling out the last year until 4 days ago he failed to pull out and according to my flo app and my cycle it was on my highest peak day of ovulation (not confirmed by opk) however my flo app seems to be very accurate as I track everything on it.

We have a 1 year old and although having another baby isn't in the plans right now we will be happy regardless hence why we didn't bother with the MAP.

So sorry if this offends anyone. I'm aware these threads are for those who are TTC but I would like to join too as i am in the 2 week wait.

Baby dust to you all 💝

JKDcot · 09/10/2024 14:26

Can you feel / look bloated as early as 4 DPO??

AmberM223 · 09/10/2024 14:40

@OverthinkingBrain I am 6/7 DPO (more 7) Just feel like the days are dragging and it’s literally on my mind 24/7!

AmberM223 · 09/10/2024 14:41

@MyGardenDaisies I have some in the drawer!! honestly i think i’ll have to test tonight - i don’t know what’s wrong with me today but it’s really over consumed me! I know for a fact it will be a negative but i think i need to get it out of my system and just do a test…

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 14:55

@AmberM223 do it, I get the “getting it out of the system”.
I will probably do tomorrow when I have the cheap ones as I don’t want to waste FRER so early on. That’s for Friday 😅😂

Marie1990x · 09/10/2024 15:49

Seems like the consensus of the group is to test on Saturday 😂😂. I’m only 5/6dpo and already itching to test!

My boobs are SO sore. I usually get sore boobs exactly a week before AF is due so not this early at all and not this intense. Trying not to think too much of it, I’m just hopeful I actually ovulated this month.

I’ve had a note on my nhs app with a request to check progesterone (undergoing fertility investigations/next steps due to PCOS and inability to conceive). Doctors aren’t answering of course 😣. Would be nice if a they would answer so I can book in and confirm if I ovulated!

Hope everyone is ok and keeping sane 😁 x

Flipflopfeet · 09/10/2024 16:14

Hope you don't mind me sitting in on the TWW with you all? Roughly 4-6 dpo according to the apps, lost the will to live with tracking ovulation as well so stopped about 4 months ago.
Currently symptom spotting and fighting the urge to POAS by looking at everyone else's tests on MN 🫠

JMassey · 09/10/2024 16:18

I love Mumsnet, it's the place to go to know you're not the only one 🤣❤️

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 16:27

@JMassey haha I know I’m only on 2nd cycle trying and that’s nothing compared to others but bloody hell it’s so overconsuming and overwhelming 🥲

AmberM223 · 09/10/2024 17:24

Right i have lost the plot and caved - tested and surprise surprise NEG!! i honestly don’t know how i could of thought anything diff would show! Pls tell me i just did it too early and there’s is some hope because (as expected) i feel super deflated (7DPO)

AmberM223 · 09/10/2024 17:25

Also to note this happened with my first too and i did get a positive 5 days later - i need to calmmmm down

No judgment here. My 2nd child was a surprise and she's just the best! Are you sure you want to join this level of crazy 😂

I always like to this it's not over til I see red!! It is early and you know it but you've fulfilled the itch so try to stay positive and keep busy!

Sore boobs is a good sign! Did you manage get it sorted?

Welcome! Think we are all symptom spotting at this point 😂 I've still got cramps today at 6dpo so hoping it's a good sign!

Don’t worry I think we’re all guilty of this at some point. No doubt I’ll cave on Friday at 7dpo 😂. You going to hold off now?

Marie1990x · 09/10/2024 17:48

OverthinkingBrain · 09/10/2024 17:39

Honestly I’ve never felt anything like it, they’re absolutely throbbing now. I don’t recall getting this with DD though so probably nothing meaningful.

Yep I ended up driving down to the surgery and they’ve booked me in for tomorrow morning. Hopefully get confirmation that I ovulated. Although I’m waiting for a course of Clomid, so not sure if they’d give it me if tests show I ovulate already 🤔

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 17:54

@AmberM223 theres still lots of hope!
with my first I had the faintest line at 10 or 11DPO

Definitely still some hope. A friend said she didn't have a positive until she was 1 day late with her first.
I have no idea on when things happened with my first until someone said to me "sure you're not pregnant?" as a joke and turns out I was!

AmberM223 · 09/10/2024 20:14

Thanks so much everyone!! I feel like i have curbed the itch now - NO testing until atleast Monday now! I feel silly for even doing it now! But yes very early days so let’s see…
