2dpo today, company welcome :)

[lockdownbabyx]

Morning all ☺️. Was waiting to join a thread until I was post ovulation. Currently 2dpo on our 3rd cycle TTC, first cycle we had an early miscarriage. I already have 2 DC and now we're trying for our last ☺️

Would love some company to help each other get through the next few days xx

Hey I’m not past ovulation yet think I’m at peak today but my app says my peak is tomorrow, been trying now for 21 months since our miscarriage in feb 2023 but I’ve been looking for a thread to join for when I’m past ovulation, how are you getting on

Hi @lockdownbabyx @Anonymousgirl2
2dpo for me. Ttc baby no.3. Second cycle trying after a miscarriage in August. Im 34. Had my first two babies in my 20s and conceived 1st try so the miscarriage in August was a huge shock to us. My peak was later than usual this month so lucky I actually caught. Baby dust to you both x

Hi all, I also have 2 DC and now trying for baby #3. Not sure what day I am as haven't tracked ovulation but going by cm I think I may be around 2dpo but honestly not sure. Just got my periods back 18 months postpartum at the end of August so only have had 2 periods, and cycle length was over 40 days so hormones are all over the place still while breastfeeding my 18 month old. If I get AF this month then will track ovulation with opk but for now it's a full guessing game. Really sorry to hear about losses. Hope we get lots of sticky bfps here x

Hi! I'm 34. Currently 3/4dpo, time moves so slowly in the tww. Trying to not get too caught up with symptom spotting this time around. A couple cycles back I watched all the tww videos and was convinced I was pregnant.. I was not. So trying to be a bit more easy breazy this time around.

Hi ladies, 2 dpo today. TTC baby no 1 and on cycle 4. Expected to be trying for a while so was pleasantly surprised when I got bfp in my first cycle but sadly that ended in miscarriage in July. Took me 8 weeks to test negative again! That defo felt worse than the two week wait 😂

@ThatSnugSwan sorry to hear of your loss, I had MC in beginning of September. So nerve wracking after a loss isn't it?! We're the same age too. Baby dust to you to ✨

@Tryingfor3rd wow 18 months! Glad I'm not the only one with a small age gap haha. I have a 3 year (just turned) old and an almost 2 year old. There's 15 months between my 2 and I love it 🥰

Fingers crossed for you, CM is usually quite reliable though so praying is your month too 🙏🏼

@Henski so sorry to hear of your loss. All the waiting around during TTC is awful. Then when you finally get a BFP it's seems such a long time getting to 12 weeks.

Fingers crossed for us all this month.
Xx

Hey @Anonymousgirl2 wow 21 months, I have everything crossed for you that this is your month.

I'm not too bad thank you..yet. I can be a serial tester so give it a few days and peeing on sticks every chance I get 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@lockdownbabyx haha, I do wonder if I'm crazy to start trying #3 so soon. But I'm 37 now and took us 6 months to conceive #1, he is 4 now. He was 2 and half when #2 was born and that was a good age gap that worked for us.

You have a much smaller age gap! Props to you because I think I would have found that harder but I'm looking forward to having number 3.

Thank you for the reassurance about cm. Still trying to figure my cycles out after getting my periods in August. Fingers crossed for you too, and thank you for starting this group 💫

Has anyone been symptom spotting? I usually try to avoid but I've been super nauseous and have lots of lower belly cramps. I got worried thinking it's the current norovirus going round but no one else is feeling sick here. But I know can't be nauseous this early on as there wouldn't be enough hcg. So putting it down to progesterone from the ovulation.

@Tryingfor3rd oh it was hard work when my 2nd was newborn haha. They are little besties now though and I just love it 🥰

I've been trying not to symptom spot as logically I know it's super early. Only thing really is my boobs are a little tender? But that's it really.

When you do think you will test? Xx

@lockdownbabyx I aim to not test at least until the end of next week just because I don't know when I ovulated. I say this and know I will cave mid week if not sooner 😂When are you planning to test?

Hi all, 2dpo today and already not feeling optimistic 😅 got cramps already, too early to be pregnancy related so just hoping AF is not going to turn up early!

Ovulated later than usual this month, not sure if that’s a positive sign or not.. AF due 15th and I’m going to try and not test before then after getting some pretty convincing evaps the cycle before last.. last period came at 9dpo so didn’t even have a chance to test my willpower 😬
31, TTC #1 since Jan, a chemical and MMC so far so I’m starting to feel a little defeated
Fingers crossed for everyone

@Tryingfor3rd oh I always cave too don't worry haha. 9dpo is the earliest I like to test, purely because I got my 1st postive with my
Son that early. But last month I was testing from 7dpo, so who knows 😂

@Tryingfor3rd I never know which symptoms to look out for, all very similar to period symptoms when I got pregnant 🤷🏻‍♀️ I usually hold out to 11/12 dpo before I test

Hi! Have been trying for 13 months now with one MC in July, have 1 DS already who was 4 in August. First month giving BBT a go, I never got on with OPK's for some reason, which had a spike yesterday which was around the same time as EWCM a day or 2 before. I don't really understand BBT but thought I'd give it a whirl anyway.
Always say I'm going to hold off on testing until I'm due / late but then the symptom spotting happens and I cave!

I’d like to join, I’m 1DPO today and first cycle TTC #1. Been reading these threads beforehand and it’s so reassuring to have company, I’m going to be a nervous wreck the next two weeks symptom spotting!

@Flipflopfeet im the same suffer with Pcos so opk can be hard to read whereas bbt is so much clearer for me. If you have any bbt questions I can try and help you out!

Thank you @lockdownbabyx and same to you. Just wondering does anybody know, because I ovulated 5 days later than my usual would my period be due later than usual too, just trying to figure out whens the earliest I can test

I was like that so I don’t have them in the house now I will buy some around 8dpo and then test I was late last month but ovulated a day early this month so my peak was yesterday so when would I start my dpo ?

@lockdownbabyx 🤞 it’s gonna be our month!

@ThatSnugSwan if you ovulated 5 days later then yes your period will be due 5 days later. The luteal phase doesn’t fluctuate as much as the follicular.

Thank you @Henski
Im hoping I wont cave and buy tests early this cycle but I really dont have much willpower when it comes to testing 🙈

Totally agree with you about symptoms @Henski when I conceived my 1st I had strong pains similar to my usual endometriosis pain so assumed it was readying for AF, and turned into a bfp.
