Ttc 6dpo

hi all

Anyone else TTC and is 5/6dpo!
Won't test yet as too early but I ovulated around cd16 and probably have my AF due any time cd27.

I know they say to test from when your af is due, but I will probably test in a couple of days 😂 xxx

Hello!

I am also 6dpo and expecting my period on 26th. I’m going to try not to test, as last month my period was really late and getting negative tests while still no period drove me insane. I’ll see if I can hold off… 😬

How are you coping with the wait? Any symptoms?

Starry1990 · 20/01/2025 17:18

I am doing ok, just want to know either way then I can forget about it for a week or so!

Spend so much money on tests but I know it's worth it if I want to get pregnant.

I don't know about symptoms - keep thinking I am a lot more tired the past few days and keep getting some dull aches in my pelvic area. But maybe I am overthinking it.

How about you? Xxx

Hello, I'll be 5DPO tomorrow- nice to have someone to go through the wait with! I'm convinced I'm extra hungry but I know there's no way I could have any real symptoms yet even if pregnant! 😂 When will you test? I'm thinking 29th ..

2petrabbits · 21/01/2025 07:01

7dpo now and all the symptoms I’ve got are also period symptoms 😂

only a week to go hopefully

Eirlys75 · 21/01/2025 07:50

7dpo today! No symptoms at all, but im trying not to symptom spot. I'll test over the weekend. I would like to wait until AF comes, but because I'm using cyclogest I'll have to test to stop using them x

overthinkersanonnymus · 21/01/2025 10:04

Me! I'm only 4 dpo but I'm a lunatic and usually start testing at about 6dpo 😂

Wednesdayonline · 21/01/2025 12:00

Can I join! 5DPO. AF due a week today. So far have had all my normal post ovulation symptoms so not feeling very positive :( but I know it's still early! Not going to test, going to wait until a missed period. Or that's the plan anyway...

Starry1990 · 21/01/2025 12:33

Ah it's so hard. I think I will end up testing tomorrow. I think my luteal phase is relatively short so will test at 8dpo.

I think the clear blue 6 days early tests aren't meant to be that good? I also wee all the time so find it hard to have concentrated wee 😂

They recommend fmu for HCG test?

I've heard the blue dye tests have a clear indent and people get false positives. Pink dye like first response is better.
And yes FMU I think!

Starry1990 · 21/01/2025 12:44

Ah ye, will probably try a pink dye test instead

I know 7/8 dpo is so early still, as implantation is like 8-12 days generally? I should try and hold out as a negative test isn't the best feeling!

How long has everyone been trying?

OP posts:
Wednesdayonline · 21/01/2025 14:18

Only cycle 2 for me so still early days potentially!

Hello! I'm 7DPO with period due on 29th. So happy to find your chat as sounds like I'm in the same boat! I'm going to try and hold off testing until by period is due, although everytime I'm in tescos I think about getting one. Do you have any symptoms? I don't really, mild tingly boobs, mild cramping (a bit ovulation like which is confusing) and I need to wee more urgently. Are those even symptoms?

I think so! Especially the cramping as could be implantation?

Starry1990 · 21/01/2025 15:53

I think they are symptoms.

I keep thinking I am having symptoms but this is the first month I have paid attention to them so maybe I get them every month.

I am having mild dull aches, plus a bit more gassy etc, and so tired. But think this could be PMS!

Fingers crossed! This is my fourth month trying (for my third baby). In September I was convinced I was pregnant, had loads of symptoms, and then boom my period came - two days early as well. Do you have symptoms, and how long have you been trying?

Only second month trying for me. No symptoms :( but only 5dpo. Usually I just get sore boobs and that's happening as normal so not feeling confident! Quietly hopeful though 😆

That's great you're feeling confident! I'm hopeful this month too but trying to remain calm. 5dpo (and I think I'm 7dpo) is so early, I see people say not to expect symptoms until much closer to 12dpo and over. So tough to wait, but exciting times nonetheless

I'm hopeful too! Have you tried anything different this cycle of trying compared to the others? Xx

Hi everyone I'm 6DPO today and I'm definitely symptom spotting, this is the first time I've tracked ovulation so I'm more aware and more into it 😅
I have (TMI) looser stools and gas, some sharp pains in side and very hungry. Will be interested to see if I'm completely inventing these as symptoms!! Did anyone test today?

I have some similar symptoms but who knows!
I'm like 7/8dpo now, but I haven't tested as probably wouldn't have implanted yet. May test 9dpo?
When are you testing?

Summerrose24 · 22/01/2025 10:28

I had 2 MMC and a chemical last year so I'm so torn about testing early and getting those faint lines as for me it doesnt mean good news. But I did get a 30 pack of tests from amazon so it's unlikely I'll resist! I'd say I'll test at 12 DPO. Interesting we have similar symptoms!!

Wednesdayonline · 22/01/2025 14:31

Time goes soooo slow in the tww. I want this week to be done so I can just know either way! 6dpo today.

AmberARK · 22/01/2025 14:49

Hey! I'm on CD24 & 5DPO.

The wait is killing me. I've had symptoms that I wouldn't usually have this time in my cycle like sore achey boobs and a tingling/pulling on my left side, I'm also a little bloated. I have easy @ home tests and have done a few but I know its way to early to get results but its driving me crazy! But also trying not to overthink into anything, as I'm a massive over thinker.

Me too, my partner tells me to relax as I know stressing doesn't help but that's my nature. When does your af normally turn up? Xxx
