i’m really trying to keep myself from testing right now, i made the deal with myself i can test 8dpo in the morning. i don’t want to jinx it by testing right now

Maybe an odd question or even a little dumb, but do you guys stop drinking sugar free energy drinks when ttc? Or do you stop after a positive? I've seen people drink alcohol up until a positive, now i'm not really a huge drinker anyway so I haven't been drinking at all since my last period. However, i do drink energy drinks, not a crazy amount, probably 1 every 2 days if that. I often just have my homemade latte in the morning and then sometimes ill have an energy drink a little later in the day.
Is this something I should stop? I see conflicting things on it on if it's actually harmful, so I wonder what others do

Didn’t reaaally have any symptoms yesterday, just a headache and some abdominal aching but nothing that i’d say was implantation. I’m just hoping for a sign of implantation, i know a lot of times you don’t even feel it, but it would give me so much hope.
We’ll see what today brings. I’ll start testing in two days! Still early i know but i cannot wait any longer so made the deal with myself that thats the earliest i will let myself test haha

Got extremely nauseous this morning, i’m a girly who gets nauseous randomly all the time but this was nausea to the point of actually feeling sick to my stomach.
I had crazy twinges and stabbing pains yesterday and today my boobs feel sore to the touch, which i know isn’t uncommon for this time in the cycle, but i don’t have this normally and i’m quite in tune with my body.

I know it’s eaaaarly, but it gives me so much hope

it feels like it’s already been two weeks, how do you all do thissss. I’m going crazy already

When do you all start counting dpo? From the day of your surge or the day after? So if May 13th was your surge, would you count today (May 14th) as 1DPO or tomorrow (May 15th). It’s my first ttc cycle so i’m wondering how the rest of you do it.

I would say tomorrow is 1DPO

I feel like these are going to be the longest two weeks of my life. Insemination was yesterday and ovulation is today/tomorrow. I’m only one day past insemination day and i already feel like i’m going insane.
How do you get through the two week wait without feeling like it’s eating you alive?
And when did you get your first symptoms if you are pregnant, maybe it can ease my mind a little bit

Ahhh, was so nervous the whole day, but it’s done and now the two week wait start. Oh I soooo hope this is it. It’s okay if not, but I have a good feeling.
Baby dust for everyone else trying this cycle ❤️

Starting my first cycle of home insemination tomorrow and i’m so excited! Also a little nervous. Had loads of contact with the donor and he’s great. We’re videocalling tonight and tomorrow will be the day!
Any tips on how to make this go as smooth as possible in terms of insemination? I have everything so i should be good!
