[Lila34830]

Follow up of the two following threads of TTC Baby number 1 🦕🦖

@Lila34830 its difficult isn’t it, as I want to wait until a missed period but twice now I’ve had CP and would like it to know if I have a problem with implantation 😭😭

Just caught up on everyone’s updates, sending lots of love to everyone who needs it.

I’ve been away for the weekend this weekend and managed to be in the moment and more distracted but now I’m home and back to work I’m already fighting the urge to do a pregnancy test and AF isn’t even due for another week 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 anyone else get itchy feet and want to test every minute of every day? 😂

Sending love @Heartypandaa !! Look after yourself and take whatever break you need 🫶🏻

@HE93C im only 4/5 DPO so not considering testing just yet, but I usually cave 8/9 and just disappoint myself so I’m going to try hold out (she says.. again..). How many DPO are you now and have you had any symptoms?

How are the rest of the TWW ladies getting along? 😊

Good luck to anyone still LH testing, hope you get your peak soon! 🤞

I'm 6DPO and have literally pulled out a test packet twice today and put it back. It's so hard! 😫
We're all syncing up to be cycle buddies! 😇

Good luck ladies, I've been having a tough time recently, not related to ttc, but this second part of the year has been so tough ! I'm debating holding off on ttc for this month, to get my head in order and take care of myself before I get back on the ttc business. It feels reasonable I think ... I'm still here though :) still testing LH and checking my body as I want to still be in tune with my cycles !

Can't wait for more BFPs for you dinos 🩷

Sending you lots of love girl, got to look after number one and do what is best for you. A month or two off can work wonders and reset your headspace especially if you’ve got other things to worry about too. 🫶🏻

According to Premom I’m 7DPO and CD21 so not too long to wait but I’m so impatient. Maybe we should try and motivate eachother to wait and not test early haha.

I’ve had a bit more CM the last 2 days than I normally notice I think but again that could be me just over analysing it and not normally noticing it. Does anyone know if that’s a sign of early pregnancy or being due on period?

I can’t decide whether talking about it like it’s happening/positive vibes/talking it into existence is the way to go or whether it’s just going to make me more disappointed if AF turns up haha.

Yeah hahah, although I’m terrible for just giving into temptation and I’m so impatient too. Feel like testing stops the wondering and the disappointment of AF arriving as I accept it before she’s here!

I think it can be both a sign and not a sign 😂 like the majority of symptoms!! Super helpful I know!

I know exactly what you mean, I get scared to get my hopes up as I know how disappointed I feel when I realise I’m out

I feel like I've given up already tbh, getting major mood swings, overheating and am a bottomless pit which are my typical PMS symptoms so I think I can expect it in the next few days 🫠

Aw you really never know as all the symptoms are sooo similar!! When do you expect AF?
But if it makes you feel any better, I’m not hopeful for this cycle after the amount of stress I felt earlier this month!

Flo says ready to test in 5 days and AF due in a week but I expect it'll come before the 5 days to test ☹️

It's so frustrating to think probably how much easier it would have been falling pregnant accidently when he weren't ready for a baby or werent giving it a single thought eh 😅

Sorry to hear you're having tough times I hope it starts to look up soon!

I know I’m jealous of the accidental pregnancies now and never thought I would be as I couldn’t have coped with that 🤣 I wanted to know we was both ready!!

Aw well fingers crossed it holds out for you. So many people say they think AF is coming and get a BFP.

Thank you, thankfully I feel like it’s all sorted now 🥰 so I’m feeling back to my usual self!!

I had 2 accidental pregnancies and jealous of myself 🤣

currently on CD 16 and peak opk finally but it’s whether me and my husband can be bothered to dtd tonight 🤣

sending love to those who are struggling atm xxxx

I am 4/5 dpo too so we are pretty synced up !!
Trying to stay positive about it all.. was going to try and hold out until Monday or Tuesday next week.. my luteal phase is only normally 10/11 days so might have period by Monday anyway

@HE93C to answer your question about CM! Yes girl! Absolutely! The two times i got pregnant i had an increase in CM after ovulation, I'm normally dry after O, but noticed an increase of CM and white/pale yellow milky discharge on the tww! ( sorry for TMI) i remember looking here for explanation or anyone with the same symptom... but keep in mind that i usually go dry after O. So i think it depends how you usually are... hope it helps, baby dust to you.

@Gemmaemilyx least it’s finally arrived!!

@NoisyBee yes were quite close, although this morning my apps according to my temps have changed my ovulation date from CD17/18 to CD19.. not sure how I feel about it moving the days 🤣🤣 so now what feels like an even longer wait with less chance of it happening as we stopped DTD on CD18. So I’m now apparently 4DPO as of this morning!

Good luck this month, being positive is the only way to be tbh 🤞

Oh wow ! What caused it to move.. I didn't know that could happen once it was confirmed ? I'm 5dpo today and had a bbt drop below cover line. My cycle I got pregnant in June I had a similar dip at 4dpo so hoping this is a good sign 🤞🏼 keeping the faith. I am going to try and last until next Tuesday for testing :) this group will hopefully keep me in check haha

Must be my temp data 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll put a picture below, can definitely see the upward trend over the last few days so it does make sense, but just wish it didn’t move 🤣

Ah, that sounds promising for you!!! Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞. Hahaha, yes we can try but if temptation wins then so be it 😊

Interesting ! From looking at the temps I would still say ovulation happened CD17 but I'm definitely not an expert 🤣 Either way I still think you DTD enough around fertility windows.. fingers crossed

Yeah I have no idea which is more reliable 😂 abit annoying really, makes knowing when to test quite difficult but I did say I’d hold off so maybe that’s a good way to prevent it!

yes fingers crossed for you too ☺️

Hi.

I've been mad busy at work and so have kind of got side tracked only been testing once a day the last 3 days so I'm convinced I've missed my peak.

Although historically been peaking CD17, 19 and 20 so I guess maybe still chance???

Can't believe I took my eye of the ball. But maybe I needed it!

Hey girl, maybe you have missed it but it’s not that important knowing when the peak was/is if your DTD regularly you’ll still probably have a chance of landing it least once in the fertile window.

It does look like your LH was either starting to raise or starting to decline again on CD19 but may also just have been a normal fluctuation 🙂

This happened to me this cycle, I usually peak around CD 16 and my LH levels raised and dropped all over the place and eventually surged and peaked rapidly 3 days later than predicted on CD19, I was even ready to stop testing but I'm glad I didn't so keep with it if you're still testing, it could just be a late ovulation! 🙃

Afternoon Dinos

How are we all doing today? 😊

Hey girl 🦕
My mental breakdown is over and I decided to DTD and ttc as normal this month 🤣
I've not peaked yet though. I'm on cd 16 and I usually peak around cd 20. So long I swear. Longest 3 weeks ever each time !
How are you ?
