I'm back! 1DPO! Anyone Else?

[Gohan3117]

Hey everyone! After being so spotty in attendance, DH and I are in the TWW! I had EWCM for the last 4 days, with yesterday being the most, and cramping on and off all day. Today, I had a tad of EWCM, but nothing like yesterday. So, I'm guessing I am officially 1DPO!

Obviously no symptoms can occur at 1DPO! But I wanted to see if any other ladies were in the TWW around the same day. Like 1-3DPO? Just so we can stick together. I have another thread, but 1 gal had her rainbow baby, and another is almost 30weeks along with her rainbow. The other two members are busy with RL, so I thought I'd try to make some new friends! So, I'm going to introduce myself!

Hi! I'm Elena, I'm 22 years old, and I have been married for 2 1/2 years. DH and I have never used BC, as we have never wanted to prevent a baby blessing. Just before our 1st year anniversary, we had our first MC. I was about 6 weeks along. We had our second MC almost a year ago. We were almost 8 weeks with our little angel. I know God opens and closes the womb, so I have faith that one day, we will have our sweet little rainbow baby.

In the fall of 2014, DH and I adopted a little white kitten, who we named Chi. She's a sweet little girl, almost 5 months old! She's our little fur baby.

I am overweight, due to a thyroid disease. It is now controlled, but the weight is sticking like glue to me. I'm trying my best to lose weight, but it's just not coming off. I don't have any fertility issues, as far as I know. I do have a low progesterone level, but my testosterone and estrogen are perfect. I don't have PCOS or endo or anything, so I'm not certain why I haven't been able to carry to term yet. I went to a fertility specialist, and she only made me feel like crap because I was overweight. It's hard for me, and she only made it worse. But DH and I are holding on and praying for the day we get to bring home our precious rainbow baby.

Anyway, that's me! Please introduce yourselves! I'm hoping to symptom spot with you all! I have over 40 IC's in my bathroom, but I'm going to try my best to hold out until at least 9DPO! Today is 1DPO, and CD14. I usually have a 12 day LP, so I O'd early this month! Hoping to make some friends and go POAS crazy!

Hi Elena! I'm also 1DPO and hoping for a rainbow baby. I ovulated on the 19th and will start testing 02/03 if AF doesn't get me.

A little about me. I've been TTC for over 4 years. I have very irregular cycles with delayed ovulation and short luteal phase. Been pregnant once and miscarried around 8 weeks. My progesterone and testosterone are very low which i'm attributing to adrenal fatigue. Thankfully I am ovulating and my LH + FSH levels are ok.

Maca and acupuncture helped regulate my cycles for a little bit. Once I took a month-long break from herbs and acu, my cycles went crazy again. I started maca again 2 cycles ago and noticed no improvement or change as I previously did. I started Vitex, Dong Quai, and various supplements about 3 weeks ago and am seeing changes! Ovulated wasn't delayed, had ewcm (not much though), and my skin tone has evened out. I'm hoping the supplements will lengthen my luteal phase also. To be safe, I plan on using progesterone cream during my tww.

I'm looking forward to symptom spotting!!

 

[Gohan3117]

Nice to meet you, Doc! I have also done acupuncture to help with fertility. It helped, as I got pregnant a few months after starting. The doctor I saw is no longer in practice, so I am still searching for a new acupuncturist. I also lol forward to symptom spotting with you! :*

 

[mrsthomas17]

Hey ladies! I am right here with yku.I either ovulated on the 18th or 19th.

My story. TTC for over a year, unmedicated. This is now my second month on clomid, with a near perfect cycle praying that this is my month. Got my positive OPK on the 17th (my evening) and now the wait is KILLING ME!

 

[mrsthomas17]

Oh. And i have PCOS and Endo. My progesterone levels were sky high last month! 79!! My RE thinks I may have released multiple eggs, but since I started clomid later in my cycle (around day 10, since that's when my apt was) he didn't think they were a good quality. He started me whe. He did, since I don't typically ovulate on my own, so he wanted to kick start my system, and get me on track. Seems to be working thus far

 

[lilmisscaviar]

I, too, am in the TWW. AF is due Jan 29 and I have been getting positive OPKs for 8 days in a row. If I go by my darkest OPK reading I would be about 6 dpo. Way too early for a positive test reading so I'm trying to hold off at least until the witch is due. Hopefully she'll stay away! Baby dust to all!

 

[Gohan3117]

Nice to meet you both! I look forward to getting to know you all!

2DPO here, no symptoms yet.

 

[Natnee]

Hi, can I join you, I think I'm about 1/2 dpo.

A bit about myself, I'm 38 (39 in March) married for 11 years in March. I have the most wonderful 4 year old daughter (5 in May) Sadly I lost my 2nd daughter last April, she was stillborn, at 40+6. I then had a mc last October when I was 6 weeks. This month has been first time trying again. My cycles have been a bit all over the place since the mc, but think I ov 1/2 days ago, just going by cm. If my cycles have clicked back into normal then I am guessing af would be due about Feb 5th, so I will start testing mid next week. I have always got bfp a week before af is due with my previous 3 pregnancies. I am so hoping for my rainbow baby but I am petrified at the same time, to go through the pain again.

 

[mrsthomas17]

Yay cycle buddies do glad to meet you all.

so far the only weird thing I have is cramping. Began last night, and still there wheb I woke up. Does anyone else get ovulation cramping or bleeding?

Do yoy have PCOS by any chance? Before I started clomid I would get 6-10 days of positive OPKs. My RE told me it was because my folicles were not mature, and the LH hormone kept trying to make something happen, that just wasn't possible. I don't want ro be a party pooped by any means, but when I had multiple OPKs in one month, was my red flag to see a specialist

Hugs*** your story is so sweet. I have not had an MC, but i did have a chemical pregnancy. It is heartbreaking. But on the plus side, it IS possible to get pregnant, your body just wants to be sure that your little bean strong enough to have a long and healthy life.

Yes, I get ovulation cramping each cycle. It starts the day prior to O for me. This cycle, the cramping ended by 2DPO (yesterday). I feel it as a dull throb, present all day. I occasionally will get a very small amount of spotting after O...usually just once in the day and only when I wipe with TP.

That's almost identicalled to me. Light bleeding that presents after BDing around O and after only when I wipe. I no longer have any bleeding. it subsided late night 1dpo. I've heard it's a good sign, but any time i bleed I get concerned.

Hey ladies may I join? Pretty positive I O'd yesterday just waiting for my crosshairs AF due on the 6th of February.

We are on our 5th cycle of TTC our third baby. It's been stressful because we conceived both boys on the first cycle, but we did start trying straight off BCP and I knew my hormones needed to regulate. This is my second full cycle temping and I love it. Going to try to hold out until at least 10dpo to test (the 31st). Praying for a BFP!!

Welcome any time gettng off of BCP, it can be hard to find a balance. Temping is great! I really should have temped this month. But i hardly ever sleep through the night, making it really hard to get an accurate temp.

Yes, when we conceived our boys I gave myself 6 months off the pill before actually trying and conceived right away. My cycle went back to normal immediately thankfully but I think my hormones have been off. I've been feeling more balanced this cycle so hopefully this one or the next will be my cycle

Yes you are right for an early miscarriage, but carrying a baby to full term, finding out you have lost her then having to wait 2 days til you are induced is a little bit different, and far from 'sweet'.

 

[mommyB]

Oh my goodness Natnee, so sorry to hear what you have been through. I couldn't even imagine a loss like that. I completely understand why you would be terrified to do it all again, and you are one brave mama! Hoping this is your cycle and you get your rainbow baby

I'm sorry for the way that read, Natnee. I wasnt referring to your stillbirth, rather your promusing cycle, and being able to get a bfp as early as you do. I should have specified.

I am always scared to see a bfp, then lose it, again. So i can relate to your hesitation.

I couldn't imagine your loss, but i am very happy to see that this cycle seems so optimistic!

 

[Gohan3117]

Wow! This thread is booming already! I'm on my phone, so I can't reply to everyone right now. But I'm so glad to have so many buddies!

AFM... 3dpo here. The only thing I've noticed is body aches. My legs and arms ache, and I've had a headache all day. I hope to update more tomorrow!
