1dpo ….. the wait begins

Exactly the same here, husband works away so only managed once this fertile window. Everything crossed for us both 🤞🏼

it’s such a pain 😫 it never works out on my cycles when he’s home . How many dpo are you ? Baby dust 🤞🏼💕🧚🏼

1DPO here too!

His weekend away is always the weekend i’m ovulating. Costing us a fortune for overnight stays but can only afford to do the one night each time. I haven’t tracked with the sticks this time just CM, but i think i’m 2 dpo x

hey cycle buddy 💕

yes exactly the same for us too , it’s a 2 hour drive away too . I said the other day to him “ just hurry up and get me pregnant these drives are a bore 🤣”

Have you been trying long?

I had a mc in dec 2022 then carried on trying after , had a mc last October and been trying again since . For us it’s hard as he works away and his time home is never on our cycle days 😭 how about you ? X

Wow that’s a tough journey! Well done for keeping going! I started trying in October 2024 and miscarried in November so this will be my fourth cycle and that feels long enough

aw so sorry for your loss it really is heartbreaking , hopefully this is our month 🤞🏼
What dpo are you going to test ?
When is af due ?
I’m a serial tester so I start from 7dpo 😫 af is due 4th March ( I have 25 day cycle ) x

I’m so sorry for both your losses! We’ve been trying since July without any success. I try not to test unless my period is late, I try as best as I can to distract myself but it’s so hard not to analyse every symptom. Since we’ve been trying my cycles does weird things like ovulation bleeding, being late or even coming early which just feels extra stressful. Xx

Yes I expect to start on 3rd as I have a short luteal phase and plan to hold until the 3rd ideally. Always easier said than done x

ohh you have will power I defo can not hold that long 🤣 altho I’m not hopeful these month as only did it once x

Anyone feeling any thing ? I’ve been super gassey for 4 days 😅 unusual for me I usually only get it couple days before af

Similar to you, just bloated and gassy. Had some spotting for 4 days and a lot of CM but I’ve learnt that pretty much every symptom is a PMS symptom so I try not to read into it now until AF is late xx

when is af due ? Are you testing after ? I’m
Going to start testing at the weekend x

Due the 4th or the 5th but honestly since trying to conceive my cycles have varied so much so probably wouldn’t test until the 8th at the earliest. How do you find testing early? I find testing harder and seeing the negatives than just waiting. When I had my first baby I didn’t test until I was nearly 6 weeks 😅

testing is hard but I find I have no will power 🤣 I prefer to test from dpo 7 that way I still think I’ve time , if I test 11-12 dpo I think I’m out and it’s more disappointing x

How are you all getting on? X

so ready to start testing 🤣 how about you ? Feeling any diff ?

Don’t feel pregnant tbh. Just feel bloated which could be anything. The wait is so hard!

me either tbh just had a couple shooting pains up my nunny 🤣 but nothing to report , my cm is wet & creamy still but zero in my breast and that’s my first give away but we’re only 6dpo so implantation not even happened yet lol

7dpo 🥳🥳 finally time to start testing … ovb negative today but I expect that . Big temp drop from 36.60 to 36.45 today 🤔
Also very watery cm ( had this in last pregnancy and got a poss 2 days later ) trying not to get hopes up as I did only do it once this cycle . How u feeling ladies? X

That’s a good sign! It could be an implantation dip! My temp is still consistent at 36.7. No signs sadly. Other than bloating for two days xx

we’re still super early but keep us updated 💕

Fingers crossed for you that it’s a sign! I don’t track my temperature so no idea about that 😅 I had very water CM and bloating until yesterday which seems to have stopped. My tell tale was sore boobs last time which I don’t have now so not expecting anything this month. Xx

when did your sore boobs start last time? Xx

I actually can’t remember, I’ve just gone back and checked and I had two days logged at cd27&28 and then consistently for cd36 xx

me either tbh as I don’t have sore boobs and that’s always my sign I’m due on Tuesday x

How’s your test today? Xx

negitive … have u tested yet ? Af due in 4 days so not hopeful tbh

how are you feeling today? I have sensitive teeth and still a lot of watery CM but nothing that feels majorly different to other cycles. Trying to manage my expectations and the reality that i’m not and starting to feel quite anxious and sad. I don’t think it helps that my best friend is in hospital having a baby as we speak xx

have u tested yet ?

I’ve not tested yet and started getting some back pain and belly ache so I’m not optimistic at all xx

No, I won’t test until at least Thursday as due tues/wed. Oh no I hate that so many symptoms are similar to AF. We’re not out until AF arrives! Xx

Got a feeling af is going to turn to Toma 😭😭 got really bad af pains

How you guys feeling today? Xx

Still no symptoms for me. Back pain has eased. How about you xx

No symptoms in the day but the last two nights I’ve woke up sweating thinking the heating was on. Trying soooo hard not to overthink it 🫣😬xx

No af as of yet negitive today so not hopeful .. next month for the first time ever he’s home for my fertile window all 5 days 🙏 so praying that’s our time if not this month but not hopeful tbh .

Altho my temp went up by 0.4 this morning but I think that was because I wore fluffy pjs and dnt normally so was over heated

Hopefully this is all our months but that’s good news about next month if not! Everything crossed for us. Going to try keep busy tomorrow do a busy few days in work so I don’t have time to over analyse every single change in my body xx

did af start ? I’m due to start toma still negitive so I’m out 😢

@laura how u getting on x

You might still be in, until AF arrives it’s still a possibility! These waits are brutal.

I have very sore areola, it feels bruised and if I catch it with my arm is so painful which is 🤯as I haven’t had this any other cycles. I’ve gotten my hopes up that this could possibly be the cycle that I get BFP but then it’s going to be such a blow if AF arrives and i’m not. I’m due tomorrow or wed so trying to hold off until Thursday for testing. What about you ? Any symptoms or signs of AF? Xx

The wait is so stressful , ohh that’s a positive sign that was my first sign with pregnancy fingers crossed keep us updated ❤️

Period hasn’t arrived yet! I am in so much back and tummy pain though so who knows if that’s a good or bad sign! Fingers crossed for you both!

I caved and did a test this morning and it was negative xx

Af due today negative also , not testing again now as af will be here later or toma for sure . Fingers crossed for next month keep updated if ur af shows ladies . have u tested yet ?

I hate this part after negative tests and waiting for AF as a smidge of hope remains to be crushed again 😔 i’m not going to test now and just wait for AF. Fingers crossed for us all for next month xx

I know how u feel , it was a long shot for us tho with only trying once but praying for next month ❤️
