Hi everyone, is anyone else 1dpo?! Let's survive the TWW together if so 😀 DD is almost 2 and this is cycle #2 trying for baby #2!

My resting heart rate has also shot up, like massively it is normally 60-70 and this morning is reading at 90.. but I know both could be because I’m also getting ill so trying to remain calm. As if I’m only 7DPO it’s too soon for signs like that isn’t it?

I don’t think BBT is a reliable indicator either until period is due, from what I’ve read?

CatLady93 · 30/11/2024 10:45

@KT199 How interesting! Do you feel poorly at all? 7dpo would probably be a bit early yeah, but I guess stranger things have happened! 👀

No, I had a stuffy nose yesterday evening but feel completely fine!! I guess I could have ovulated at CD17, like I felt my temps said and be 9DPO 🤷🏻‍♀️

FlakyAquaQuoter · 30/11/2024 10:53

Hope this is an excellent sign and not a sign of poorly for you!!

I'm following a chart of what the embryo does each day. Day 7, supposedly it burrows into the lining by... eating the endometrial cells.

So I've got one child eating me out of house and home, and hopefully another eating my insides. 😂

CatLady93 · 30/11/2024 10:54

@FlakyAquaQuoter This tickled me!!! 😂 Babies.. they're all take take take aren't they 🙄😂

FlakyAquaQuoter · 30/11/2024 11:07

@CatLady93 - Aren't they just 😂 I think the order of the day ought to be a tesco trip to feed everyone involved with something delicious. That should calm things down!

The info sheet I got from the clinic states to act pregnant until the end of my TWW, including eating habits etc.

So chocolate and beige goodness it is!

@FlakyAquaQuoter That sounds like a fabulous plan! We had our Tesco delivery this morning and it's that excitement of omg I could have literally anything for lunch 😂

Well, I’ve had no “actual” symptoms so I would be confused, but it’s so hard to not hope isn’t it? I’ve exhausted Google about resting heart rate ect this morning 🤣 I’m wondering if it’s because I’ve had a very active morning so far too.. we was up and about by 7.30 shopping ect! Not sure how Apple Watches measure resting heart rate, as I didn’t have it in workout mode or anything for a walk around the shops!

🤣🤣 that’s very funny!!!

For those who want to know!

@FlakyAquaQuoter thank you for sharing this!! I love reading about what could potentially be happening!

@KT199 hopefully all signs are pointing to a BFP rather than you coming down with anything.

Junip2 · 30/11/2024 11:57

I am really interested to see what next week brings what with testing and potential symptoms!

FlakyAquaQuoter · 30/11/2024 11:58

@KKT199 - I had zero symptoms with my first until the day I turned 6 weeks. The second I did have a weirdly intense sense of smell.

Got everything crossed for you!

Sounds like a busy day and one to hopefully take your mind off things.

FlakyAquaQuoter · 30/11/2024 12:00

@CatLady93 - It's my favourite time! The possibilities are endless.
I usually get my shopping delivered but forgot to bloody check out, and I'm out of a few basics so I definitely need to make the trip.
So I'll just have to make it worth my while!

Ohhhh that’s interesting!!🤔 I always thought if I was, I’d have a few symptoms as I tend to get quite bloated from 6/7 DPO, and get sore boobs a few days before AF normally 9/10 DPO. But as it stands my usually bloating hasn’t appeared. I’d be really shocked if it was this month as I was the most stressed I’ve ever been leading up to ovulation as I had an appointment for a scan and it really got to me, then I ovulated 4-6 days later than I ever have! But who knows

FlakyAquaQuoter · 30/11/2024 17:12

Oh bless you @KT199 - Sounds like you've had a really stressful time of it. I have everything crossed for you!

Yeah I expected symptoms but had absolutely none. At 5.5 weeks I was feeling particularly smug. Then I woke up 6 weeks pregnant, threw up as soon as I opened my eyes and that stayed until week 13. 😂 I did NOT feel smug at that point.

With the second pregnancy I was at work at 5 days past transfer (10dpo) and could tell you what everyone had had for breakfast. And people speaking near me ... I could smell their breath a mile off.
Got home and tested and sure enough it was positive.

This will be my last attempt for a long time. It's usually around once I year I can get the funds together to try!

Thank you! Definitely got myself caught up in the temps and RHR today, need to chill myself out 🤣🤣 must have checked for a change in RHR 50 times 😂😭 I hate that at this point I become truly obsessive!!!! Keep saying to myself “only time will tell either way”

Awww well fingers crossed for you this cycle!! I really hope you get the BFP!!! I can only imagine how expensive rounds of IVF are, I had some basic testing done the other month and that alone was £400.

FlakyAquaQuoter · 30/11/2024 18:34

@KT199 - Honestly I'm exactly the same. My first response tests arrived today and I must have looked at the a hundred times. There's no way it'll be positive before Monday/Tuesday at the very very earliest.. and even then really!

So I'm obsessing over here just as much, don't you worry. 😂

Thank you, it's definitely very costly but so so worth it. Just keeping everything crossed that this beautiful little embryo keeps snug and gets cosy in there.

I'm even praying for the hyperemesis clouded Christmas at this point!!!

So glad I’m not alone 🤣 honestly I hit 7DPO and it’s like a switch flicks in me 🤣 I really need to hold out for 10DPO at the earliest as in my head I know realistically nothing even now could indicate a positive test pending but still hope 😂, does not help being one of the worlds most impatient people as I feel like I need to know everything immediately.

Oh I bet it is!! 🫶🏻

Hahahaha, that is funny!!! But honestly, me too.. bring it on.. don’t care if I can’t face the turkey and trimmings if it’s due to getting a BFP!! Will definitely have to figure out how I hide that from my family, but that’s the least of my worries!!

I'm the same day technically... but of course for 5 of those days nothings even near me. So I'm essentially a nut from day 2 😂

Yep, aiming for day 10... we've got this! I think... maybe. I'm exactly the same, I need to know immediately and very much don't cope with anything like "cross that bridge when we get to it". Like, no, I need to know absolutely everything about the bridge and how exactly we will cross it.

Exactly this! I'm lucky in that we spend our Christmas with my family who know about the treatment, so they'll be aware anyway. And Christmas does have a lot of delicious beige food.. and in my case it's all cooked for me, so that'll definitely help!

CatLady93 · 30/11/2024 19:01

@KT199 I relate so much!! It's so hard not to get totally obsessed. I have a terrible habit of convincing myself I'm pregnant too 🫠 Even if rationally I know there's no way I can know when it's early days DPO wise, it doesn't stop the mind wandering!

FlakyAquaQuoter · 30/11/2024 19:04

Thank you cat lady!
It definitely took me by surprise how the two were so different. How are you doing today?

CatLady93 · 30/11/2024 19:06

@FlakyAquaQuoter Adore that you've called me cat lady hahaha. I love my cats but I think I panicked trying to choose a mumsnet name 😂😂

I'm doing ok thank you!! Nothing really to report symptom wise other than fatigue because my toddler has been waking up super early from teething.. the back molars. OUCH. Hoping my BBT rises tomorrow morning as the dip this morning threw me a little bit! How are you doing?

I guess the positive for you, is knowing you have a fertilised egg, I could be fantasising about nothing.. 🤣 however I cannot believe someone hasn’t come up with a test that could help people trying for natural conception know whether the egg is fertilised ect!! I would certainly pay to know, and it would remove so many unnecessary days from the TWW if nothing happened!

Could not relate any harder to the comments about crossing a bridge, actually laughing cause I am the exact same!!Yes, I need to go pee half asleep tomorrow morning so I can’t even consider doing a test 😂

Awhhh, sounds lovely let’s hope it’s the Christmas news you’re wanting!!
