1DPO Today - Let's keep it real & symptom spot together!

[BeachyFeelin]

Ha - I know, you shouldn't. But come on.

I BELIEVE I'm 1DPO today. I got a positive opk Saturday, we BD, and Sunday's was still dark, but not as dark as the control line or the day before. I'm guessing I just had good timing and tested at the height of my serge and as it was going.

I check CP. The last few days it's been SUPER high, couldn't find it a couple times. This morning I noticed it was very open. This after noon it's still super high and soft, but starting to close.

I have no more OPK's to test, and I didn't temp (waiting for BBT thermometer, will get it today in the mail!) but by all accounts it seems like the egg has been released.

Here is the sucky part. We decided last week to hold off TTC for a couple weeks, just to stop stressing. So we just happen to DTD the day I had the positive OPK, but that was the only BD that would/could result in pregnancy.

I'm still holding out hope, even though I know chances are slim. I don't get much CM, so we usually use Preseed, but this time since it was on the spot, we just were able to use Preseed as a lube (meaning I didn't use the applicator or anything).

So...now that I've talked your ear off...anyone else 1DPO? Or near that who wants to obsessively compare symptoms with me?

Also - do you know any tips/tricks of the trade that could help with implantation? I've heard eating pineapple core from 1DPO to 5DPO could help thicken blood.

I am not 1dpo but ill join! I am about 6dpo, possibly 7. Just an FYI I got pg with my dd by BD'ing once the day before O. So it's possible!!
As for me I'm symptom spotting, nothing major but today have creamy cm, been breaking out (totally atypical but did happen in my last pregnancy), and that's about it. I'm hopeful though because I don't remember any symptoms until about 10dpo with dd. I was also pregnant again this fall but I mc... I usually test early but I'm going to try to officially miss my period, maybe even by several days, and test maybe on 2/22.
Sending sticky baby dust to you!!

 

[BeachyFeelin]

So sorry to hear about your mc! I'm crossing my fingers you get your bfp this cycle! My AF is due 2/22 so if I don't have my typical spotting by CD26 then I'll test on the 22nd!

Glad to hear that one BD was all it took for your DD, I'm secretly hoping for a girl

 

[SoonToBePreg]

Hi, I'm 2dpo today and waiting to officially confirm ovulation tomorrow. My DH and I timed it really well this cycle so I am very hopeful. No symptoms yet to obsess over.

I also read something about asparagus helping with implantation.

How do you like preseed? I'm thinking about getting on that next cycle if this one doesn't work out. I have never seen EWCM. I was actually looking for EWCM this cycle but didn't see any.

Ange, sorry to hear about your mc. I'm also planning not to test early this time but I don't think I'll make it. If I wait it out, I'll be testing on 2/21

I am 2dpo! I got a positive opk on Saturday so I am assuming I ovulated yesterday. I have been sick all weekend so I'm not sure how much I can trust my temperatures this month. But, my breasts are tender and my nipples are sensitive & I was irritable today SO I think it is safe to say my
Progesterone is on the rise...aka I ovulated!
My husband and I BDed on Friday & Saturday so fingers crossed we timed it right!

That's interesting about Asparagus...I've never heard that...by shear luck we were planning on having that with dinner tonight so...yay!!

Preseed is ok. But you definitely don't want to use the amount specified on the box. It's WAY too much. Sometimes I have an abundance come back out, sometimes I don't. It's hit or miss. Once we are done with it I think I don't think I'll buy it again. We've had it for 3 cycles now and it hasn't been this miracle lube like most other people say it is. With the cost, I'm just disappointed.

I bought some organic lube, which I was told was also sperm friendly for half the cost that we'll use moving forward!

Saturday is the day I got my positive OPK too!! However we only BD on Saturday, so hopefully that was enough.

My breasts aren't tender, but my nipples are (off and on). They also feel fuller. I know that doesn't really mean anything but I hope it just means that I did ovulate! I just got my BBT thermometer yesterday in the mail so I only have this morning's temp to go off of. Comparing it to past cycles where I tempted it's at the right temperature of after ovulation.

Crossing my fingers it STAYS up

I know...YAY!!

i'm kicking myself that I didn't just keep temping for funzies with my old thermometer. It was a temporal forehead thermometer so it wasn't good for every day use, but then at least I might have had a general idea of when I ovulated! GRR

How are you feeling today? I think I felt a little cramping last night, but who knows, it could have been in my head. I also started getting a sore throat last night, and it continued this morning. I just drank some water with a little apple cider vinegar in it so it feels better now.

My boobies still feel full and the nipples are off and on itchy!! Which is annoying while I'm at work :/

Right now most of my symptoms are usual, tender breasts and a little gassy / bloated. Nothing new yet. I can't believe I have to wait until next Friday. Luckily I have travel plans this weekend so the days should move a little faster. When do you plan to test?

Wow, your temp sure shot up today!

I was going to test on Friday the 22nd with you, but now I'm thinking I should wait until that Saturday or Sunday According to FF now my AF isn't due until the 25th - but I don't think I can hold out that long. We'll see! I'm very conflicted about it! haha

 

[SoonToBePreg]

Lol yea me too. I'll probably really start testing on Monday at 9dpo. It'd be great if I could hold out since Friday is when I'm expecting my period. How long is your LP? Mine's short, only 11 days. Of course that's just going off one cycle which was a weird long cycle. But I hear LP doesn't change even if cycle lengths do.

 

[BeachyFeelin]

I was trying to go back in FF and figure out my LP yesterday, that is something I never really thought of before. However since I only temped last cycle I only have that to go off of....I'm assuming 15 days is my norm. So if I ovulated on the 9th this month, I'm guessing that means I should start my period the 24th? FF has me starting on the 25th.

I always spot at least 2 days before, so if i don't start spotting that weekend I'll probably test on Sunday the 23rd...with a First Response...I'll be 14DPO.....although if I'm being totally honest I'll probably still do one test that Friday (@ 12DPO) so that I know if I can drink over the weekend or not. It's my sisters birthday so I might have one beer at the family dinner if I test negative.

I still have a sore throat today, which is annoying. MY CP has gotten firm too. Not sure if that means anything, I think it's the norm for after ovulation. It was medium for a few days there. I still feel like it's open, but what do I know.

My boobs have finally stopped being tender. No more nipple soreness or itchiness...

 

[littleangel27]

I got my +ve OPK on tuesday morning and shooting pain near my left ovary that night, so my guess is that I am 2dpo now. Bd'd on sunday and tuesday night.
I have got the usual symptoms sore boobs and a little gassy. I hope we timed it right!! The two week wait feels like forever, luckily I have got travel plans this weekend so it keeps my mind off the stressful wait for a while.

Lots of baby dust to you all

 

[SoonToBePreg]

Beachy, I don't know much about reading cp positions. how can you tell if its open or closed.

Today I woke up with a headache and sore bbs. I also had a pretty vivid dream last night. Gah I need to distract myself otherwise these remaining 7 days will be torture.

 

[Merrier12]

Breasts are still pretty tender. My face is broken out! BUT, I know all of these are symptoms of progesterone!

I (think) I am 5DPO! Implantation coming soon maybe?! haha!

Where is everyone else at in their cycles?!

 

[SoonToBePreg]

I'm 6dpo so a day ahead of you . About to enter the grueling part of the tww. Any weekend plans? Thank goodness it's Friday.

 

[Merrier12]

Hanging out with family tonight & going to a college baseball game tomorrow! This will take my mind off of things hopefully! It snowed this week and I am a nurse and had to sleep at the hospital between my shifts and honestly I was SO stressed out about that, that I didn't even think about symptoms this week!! Being busy is a blessing sometimes!!

What about you?!

 

[SoonToBePreg]

Sleeping at the hospital? That sucks. I always wondered how doctors and nurses dealt with snow days. I was snowed in too so I had to work from home which isn't too bad but it meant I got on this site more...not good.

I'm taking a short vacation with DH for this long weekend. We get back Monday. We are driving down to DC tonight, hopefully it's not too bad on the roads. We'll be checking out the city, visit some museums, enjoy good food, watch some plays. I'm so excited, plus it'll be a good distraction hopefully. I'm sure ill still sneak in some time to check this site

 

[BeachyFeelin]

I'm not super great at reading if my cp is open or closed....but right now it's obviously closed. I check it so much now I can tell. It's one of those things you just have to keep track of and eventually you start feeling the difference. When it's open you can almost stick a finger in the opening, when it's closed it feels like it's squeezing tight.

I feel like a total ass for saying this but we are supposed to have beautiful weather here this weekend in CA, mid 70's to early 80's so I have the whole weekend planned with bike rides, hikes and a zoo visit. Hopefully being out of the house will keep my mind off of this TWW.

Besides being super tired, all my symptoms have gone away but I'm only 5DPO so I wasn't really expecting much.
