1DPO - the tww offically starts here 🤪

Wackadoodle84 · 13/12/2019 10:15

Hello fellow tccers, so today is officially 1DPO for me, offically my favorite and most hated part of the cycle.

Got my LH surge 2 days ago, going to keep doing opks just to be on the safe side. Really hoping that this month I will actually hold off testing until AF is due.

AF due on 26th. Anyone fancy symptom watching with me 🤩

@MrsMeow2019 Thank you ☺️ Sorry to hear AF arrived, got all my fingers crossed next month for you ☺️

@Wackadoodle84 I'm assuming AF didn't arrive? Still got my fingers crossed for you! Yeh its finally sinking it ☺️ told my DH and he's over the moon so that made me feel better. Feeling okay, still get the odd twinge every now and then but my boobs are so sore! Xx

@fioney25 nope not so much as a twinge of a symptom. I’d say I must have gotten my ovulation dates wrong or something.

Has your bfp news started to sink in yet? How are you feeling?

@mrsmeow19 sorry to hear she got you. Hope you had a good Xmas. Fingers crossed we will all get bfps in 2020

@fioney25 congratulations ! What a lovely Christmas present 🎁 😊

@Wackadoodle84 that sounds positive ! Fingers crossed for you 🤞.

AF turned up on CD26, Xmas eve eve 😔. So started cycle 6 now and on CD4, well or so to chill before starting again 😆. Fingers crossed for all of us in the new year - here’s to baby’s / pregnancy in 2020!

fioney25 · 27/12/2019 14:06

@Wackadoodle84 @Ginge35 @AsSurprisedAsYouAre Thank you so much ladies, you are all far too lovely! ☺️

@Wackadoodle84 Ooh no keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🙌🏼 As they say it's not over until AF arrives! Do you have any symptoms? Sending BFP vibes to you!! Xxx

Congrats again @fioney25, what a lovely strong bfp!

How is everyone else doing? @MrsMeow2019 @ceebee21 any updates?

Am officially late today for the first time ever. BFN on three different brands of tests this morning. Not so much as a twinge to signal the imminent arrival of AF. I can only assume I must have gotten my ovulation day wrong.

My lp is always 14days. Got a very positive opk on day 13 and day 14. Now day 29. I suppose time (and some obsessive testing and symptom spotting) will tell

Wow congratulations ! Fingers crossed for the rest of us !

Ginge35 · 26/12/2019 16:20

I'm not too bad @AsSurprisedAsYouAre though my AF has decided to torture me these last couple of days! I feel horrendous! Oh well! I've had a lovely Christmas so far so I'm trying not to complain!
Just going to wait two weeks now before we start with the crazy all over again! 😂😂😂
@fioney25 this is so exciting but I bet it's scary! I was excited scared every time I took a test! Fingers crossed you keep well going forward! ❤️

fioney25 · 26/12/2019 13:28

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre Aww thank you so much! 😘 You're right, going to enjoy the rest of Christmas and test with a cb digi when my AF is due! 😀
How are you?! Any update at all? Xx

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 26/12/2019 12:25

@fioney25 I must have cross posted with you! Oh my gosh, congratulations. I can understand that it might be scary to see it happening for real, be gentle with yourself while you start to believe it

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 26/12/2019 10:27

@MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee I'm due on the 2nd, so pretty close to me! Sending support, the waiting is so difficult.

5-6DPO and I'm hoping for any signs of implantation soon.

Any updates @fioney25? Are you holding up okay @ginge35?
How's everyone else doing today? xx

fioney25 · 26/12/2019 10:25

@Ginge35 I took another one this morning and got this! 😬 I can definitely see it today, I should be so grateful and excited but I'm terrified xx

1DPO - the tww offically starts here 🤪
Ginge35 · 26/12/2019 10:18

@fioney25 I can see a faint line! Did you take another test just to make sure? Fingers crossed for you!!! 🤞🤞🤞

MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee · 25/12/2019 22:15

Ooh can I join please ? I’m due in on 5 jan so maybe a bit later than you folks ! First cycle trying for many number 2. Any news from anyone else ? Congrats for the Bfp fioney!

@fioney25 can definitely see a line! Huge congrats to you! What a great Xmas pressie 🎅🏻

Awh @Ginge35 sorry she got you! On the plus side, you can enjoy the Prosecco

Did a test this morning (and yesterday morning!) stark white bfn, not even a hint of a line if I squint slightly to the left and hold it under every light source I can find.

AF due tomorrow so will test again obviously (probably multiple times) but not expecting to get a different result.

Happy Christmas to all you lovely ladies xx

@fioney25 MERRY CHRISTMAS, I can definitely see a faint line there!!!

@ginge35 I'm sorry, passes you the bottle

Ginge35 · 25/12/2019 09:28

Merry Christmas ladies! My AF turned up today, right on time! So all these symptoms have been total rubbish! Pass the Prosecco!!!! 😭😭😭

fioney25 · 25/12/2019 09:07

Merry Christmas Ladies. Hope you have a lovely day!

So... 10 DPO this morning and thought I'd do one last FRER test and I got this...I need confirmation I'm seeing double! 😱 Can anyone else see?? Xx

1DPO - the tww offically starts here 🤪
fioney25 · 24/12/2019 20:39

@Ginge35 Haha that's alright 😆 I'm 9dpo now, I bit the bullet again and did a FRER test but it was a BFN! 😩 At least I can enjoy Christmas without the anxiety of having to explain to everyone why I'm not drinking 🤪 How are you today? Are you testing again soon?

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre I wouldn't try to look into it too much, I've read a couple of articles that no symptoms are very common at this stage too. It's definitely good to keep busy and distracted 😘
I'm good, as I said to @Ginge35 I thought I'd do a FRER test but another BFN, trying to stay positive as still early days 😬

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 24/12/2019 20:18

4dpo and I no longer have any nausea at all and aside from being very tearful (which could just be exhaustion, I have a very demanding job and usually get a bit emotional when I finally get a couple of days off) my only symptoms are persistent PMT like lower back pain and what I can only describe as the 'heavy awareness' of my uterus I usually get before AF. Beginning to think I invented it all and I'm heading for disappointment.

How is everyone else doing? Christmas proving a welcome distraction from the symptom spotting or bringing the awareness to thoughts of family even more?

Ginge35 · 23/12/2019 17:33

@fioney25 yes it was! It all went a bit weird with the bold text and the tagging! 😂
My anxiety is very odd! It comes in all ways! Sometimes I can't even leave the house, sometime it cripples me with pain! It's all very bizarre! 😝
Still getting these stabbing pains! I'm hoping it's a good sign and not a sign I'm about to have a really vicious AF! 😩

fioney25 · 23/12/2019 15:00

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre Aw like you said so lovely to have someone else on the same journey. Oh bless you, so sorry to hear about that 😔 It's so easy to convince yourself when you're constantly looking for symptoms and after reading other threads, symptoms can be a whole range of things 🙈 It really does mess with your mind but try to keep busy and let nature do its thing 🤞🏼 Keep me posted with how you feel xx

@Ginge35 I think this message was for me but I'm not sure 🙈 I hope those pains are a positive sign for you 🙌🏼 especially if they're unusual to you. I usually get butterflies with my anxiety but like you said it has other ways 🙈 Sending you lots of BFP vibes and I have my fingers crossed for you! 🙏🏼 xx
