1DPO - the tww offically starts here 🤪

87 replies

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 🤩

@fioney25 I'm with you on that one... I am trying to hold out until Monday at least - I am busy over the weekend, so that should keep me occupied until then.

My temps are still rising, so at leas that is one good thing xx

fioney25 · 20/12/2019 08:23

@MrsMeow2019 @Whyhaveidonethis Hapoy Friday ladies! I'm on 5 DPO and dying to do a FRER but saving myself until Christmas Eve. 😬 Your right these are possibly the longest two weeks 😆

Whyhaveidonethis · 20/12/2019 08:10

@MrsMeow2019 me too. Potentially a super squinter but in reality definitely not!! 😂

MrsMeow2019 · 20/12/2019 07:36

Happy Friday ladies, hope you’ve all had a good week. I caved and tested this morning at 8DPO.. BFN of course 😆 the second week of the 2 week wait is definitely the worst 😭

ceebee21 · 17/12/2019 21:55

@fioney25 I guess the good thing about it is its only correct first thing, so you can't keep checking. Although you do wish the days away...guess further down the line it can save on pregnancy tests as if you see a drop its probably AT arriving. Ah yes, I have had 11 day L.P. recently so due Xmas day zxx

fioney25 · 17/12/2019 21:50

@ceebee21 Aaah thank you! This is totally new to me so finding something else new to check everyday. Will definitely try this next month if I'm not lucky. I think our cycles are the same - I'm 2 DPO. Fingers crossed for you!! Xx

ceebee21 · 17/12/2019 21:39

@fioney25 oh gosh, it's the next thing I'm trying now. So you test your bbt, you can get thermometers on Amazon...

You test throughout your cycle and have to do it as soon as you wake up, before anything else such as going to the loo. Once ovulation has oxxured your temp rises slightly and stays that way until it drops and AF arrives...if it doesn't drop you should get a BFP.

It is only useful to see when you actually have ovulated, as you only see a couple days after xx

fioney25 · 17/12/2019 21:19

@ceebee21 Heyy! How are you testing your temperature? Haven't even explored that route... is it a symptom after ovulation?? Xx

ceebee21 · 17/12/2019 21:17

I'm 3DPo and temps haven't risen as much as I thought they would...i could be 2dpo.

Just find it all really depressing, wish it was easy to just carry on as normal and forget about it xx

fioney25 · 17/12/2019 20:44

@Whyhaveidonethis I'm exactly the same as you! The slightest twinge or cramp, I'm like OMG it's happening 😂 Didn't realise how consuming this would be 🙈 I'm on 2DPO so this TWW is going to drive me nuts 😆

Whyhaveidonethis · 17/12/2019 19:23

I had pains in my left side very low down this afternoon, so immediately my head says that is implantation!! 😂

My bbt has been weird this month. Just sitting above my cover line. Don't know what to think.

LosingtheTTCplot · 17/12/2019 14:24

@Wackadoodle84 can I join?

6 DPO today and due Christmas Day, no unusual symptoms other than sore side of boobs, few twinges and a bit emotional. Tired as well but really busy in life so not surprised there. All normal TWW symptoms I think.

Thistle23 · 17/12/2019 14:11

I got my period at 10dpo Angry not got a clue what's happening , I'm usually exact every month with my period .

Whyhaveidonethis · 17/12/2019 07:19

@Wackadoodle84 it runs through mine too!! 😂 This is cycle 17. I'm 41 though so I'm probably never going to have a viable pregnancy. I've been PG 3 times since May but the have all been early MC/CPs. Losing hope if I'm honest but still put myself through it each month.

@mrsmew2019, I’m here currently googling symptoms at 5dpo 🙈. I need someone to lock up my tests and slap some sense into me badly. We can do this, Xmas eve testing, only 8 days to go

@Whyhaveidonethis welcome! Your name is literally what runs through my head moments after I poas at a ridiculously early dpo 🤣. How many cycles have you been TTC?

@ChampooPapi @jenna30 welcome, looking forward to symptoms spotting with you all over the next 2 weeks.

jenna30 · 16/12/2019 21:58

@MrsMeow2019 thank you!! Likewise. Has anyone had any dpo symptoms that they can share? Forgive me if i have missed any posts where they have been mentioned. Im only 1dpo and driving myself crazy looking for symptoms 😅

MrsMeow2019 · 16/12/2019 21:52

@whyhaveidonethis I've got 1 FRER and 1 Clearblue from previous cycles. I tried to use them all up last month to stop myself testing early this month, it hasn't worked.....hehe

I'll be back to googling 'symptoms 5DPO' from tomorrow....I think someone needs to take my access to WIFI away

Hope you're all having a good week and have lovely things planned for xmas BFPs or not x

Whyhaveidonethis · 16/12/2019 21:46

@MrsMeow2019 I ordered 4 FRER as they are on offer on Amazon! I plan Xmas eve too but let's see once I get to 8dpo!!!

MrsMeow2019 · 16/12/2019 21:43

@Whyhaveidonethis me too! I'm currently weighing up whether to test on Sunday....10 DPO or leave it till xmas eve morning 12 DPO (as I'm at work all day and then out at a family thing where there will be a lot of gin) or just forget the entire thing drink what I please and test on boxing day if AF hasn't show...

Logical brain vs TTC crazy brain

I've just ordered a load of IC prig tests as well after saying I wouldn't....

@jenna30 welcome ! hope you get your BFP.

All aboard the Xmas BFP train!

Whyhaveidonethis · 16/12/2019 21:36

@Wackadoodle84 @MrsMeow2019 I'm also a cycle buddy. Cd4 today. AF due on 26th.keep saying I won't test early but I know I will!!! 😂
