The previous OPs have gotten their BFPs so I have cheekily created this one just hoping that I could get lucky. Hahaha. 😅 Silly, right ?
A bit about me - currently trying to conceive baby No.2 and this is my 4th postpartum cycle.
So I wish everyone good luck and lots of baby dust! 🤞

My BBT has a clear elevation this cycle, whereas last time, it was all over the place and my luteal phase has lengthened by 1 day so I shall just have to focus on that.

Sorry for not remembering if you’ve said but how long ago was your loss? How long did it take you to conceive after?

I am hoping you get your next baby soon! 💜

What day do you normally ovulate?

Sorry - forgot to add, no idea what day I ovulate on as my cycles for the last year or so have been varying from 22-30 days, and I’ve never actually confirmed ovulation before. It might be something I will have to start looking into if we aren’t lucky enough to conceive any time soon.

Hey 👋🏼 all joining this thread. I’m DPO 4 today and have lower back cramps since DPO 2. Obviously too early for implantation but has anyone else had this previously and gone on to get a BFP??

Welcome @Riverofhope!

I’m 6dpo today and had a similar question - I had pin prick like niggles in my lower leftish side last night which I know would still be too early but coming to 6dpo I’ve given myself a pass to start symptom spotting 😂

Where are you in your journey? I’m on my first actual cycle TTC although have had a chemical in the past and have endometriosis so am not too sure what to expect.

DancingThroughLife02 · 26/05/2026 11:26

I’m also not sure if it’s just the heat but I feel so bloated and nauseous. Could also be the huge jacket potato I had earlier though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey!
ha the jacket potato made me laugh!
I have a 2 year old daughter, and have been TTC this time for just over a year 😣. It took a while with my first, and also had a few chemicals. I know the feeling you’re talking about though, like twinkly cramps - definitely a good sign!

Hope this is a good cycle for us! Nervously hopeful but also not expecting much (but deep down really hoping)!

I was thinking though my heart goes out to all of those women who are in their last trimester or dealing with newborns in this heat - if we conceive this month we’ll have our second and third trimesters throughout autumn and winter which should hopefully be more bearable.

Hello, tentatively joining if that’s ok. We weren’t going to Ttc for a second but had an accidental pregnancy in February which ended in April as a missed miscarriage with d and c. I got my period back this month and cycle day nine today. The loss made us want to try again although we are hesitant because with my lovely son he was born early and had a long and frightening hospital stay (we are very very lucky to have him now as a happy, if slightly underweight three year old)

I am so sorry for your loss @theotherfossilsister 💐

Here’s to hoping for an easy, healthy pregnancy and baby for you very soon!

7dpo today - not feeling too much other than my breasts looking a bit swollen but that does happen in the luteal phase anyway. It’s gone quiet for me symptom wise after those twinges I had over the last couple of days so I’m really hoping HcG is building up.

How’s everyone doing/what DPO is everyone on and what symptoms (if any)?

Ooh hoping it’s good news for you! I’m DPO4 today. How are you counting your DPO by the way, as I got my positive OPK on Friday, so then assume ovulation Saturday & counting from Sunday? I don’t think I have any symptoms for definite, but have felt a few ovary twinges, but that could just be luteul phase like you mentioned 🤷🏼‍♀️

Goodenoughmummyme · 27/05/2026 16:26

7dpo and its going so slowly. Also no symptoms but just trying to remind myself that doesnt mean anything!

ByAquaFox · 27/05/2026 17:43

Jumping in! Heyyy! First month ttc. Mirena removed on 13th may. Positive opk already and I'm technically 4dpo i had a little bleed on ovulation day which stopped a day or so later. Had a few twinges around that time aswell. We shall see but I am driving myself crazy and don't expect to fall this morning the due to it being first one since mirena.

Chellooo · 27/05/2026 19:21

I’m doing the same as you but I also get really bad ovulation pain which I’m using as day 0 - this did end up happening the day after my peak.

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking but I told my husband last night that I actually thought I was pregnant. The boob soreness has taken a new level and a got a huge amount of lotion-like CM which is so unlike me this time of month as well as consistent pulling cramps.

Feeling a bit silly now as woken up on 8DPO not feeling much of anything again. Might do a test tomorrow even though I wanted to wait a bit longer but I know I’ll be disappointed if it’s negative.

Don’t feel silly, the symptoms do come and go, and the cramps are a good sign! I had the same on the pregnancy with my daughter, was in tears saying I’m not pregnant as had no symptoms, then got the twinkly cramps then nothing… then DPO 10 had strong symptoms and tested, got a faint positive that my husband couldn’t see 😅 then DPO 11 it was there. Hoping for you!! 🙏🏼

ByAquaFox · 28/05/2026 08:57

@Chellooo I'm so happy for you! That's a good strong line aswell ♥️

Goodenoughmummyme · 28/05/2026 14:52

Anyone come down with a weird cold/ sore throat before their bfp? I remember this happening before baby # 1 but now at 8dpo for ttc baby #2 obviously symptom spotting everything!

Thank you! I sometimes feel like they’re there and after feel like I’m imagining them. Caved and took a FRER test which obviously came back negative - I thought I saw something at first but it must have been the dye moving through and even now it looks either blank or like an indent. I might try again with FMU tomorrow and then leave it for a few days if it’s negative. I know it needs time I’m only 8DPO

This boob soreness is intense but I’m not really having any other symptoms and the mucus has stopped too.
