1DPO - Anyone want to join for the 2WW?

Hello! First month TTC. Currently 1DPO, no symptoms as of yet, but already feeling stressed at the thought of not knowing if we were successful for two more weeks! Worried we didn't BD enough, we did every other day during the fertile window including day before O. Anyone got any advice or just want to join in the conversation to get us through the wait?

Aw yeah flats have had it tough as well as it was only cash buyers at one point wasn't it for some reason.

Yep it's a looooong time so fingers crossed.

You'll make it work, it will be nice and cosy if nothing else ❤

@K8Tee

Hey *@JuniperAndTonic*. All good here thank you, enjoying a bit of normal like you too. Did some exercise tonight as been back to my old dance class for the first time in over a year so that was nice. Although I'm not sure I'll be saying the same when I can't move in the morning 🤣

I'm 7 or 8 dpo and had 100% cracked by now every other month. I feel weirdly chilled which is strange as we said if we don't catch this morning we'd wait til after our wedding..... which is oct 2022! 🤔

Hoping to wait til af is due but I do have a lonely frer glaring at me from the inside of my wardrobe 🤣 I have no Internet cheapies.

I did do a test at only 5dpo which I know wouldn't show up even if we have been lucky this month but I went out for cocktails so thought I better just to make sure 🙈 x

Fingers crossed this is our month xx

Extra fingers crossed for you this month then @K8Tee - October 2022 is a long time to wait!!

We got married 2 years ago, initially we were going to wait to TTC until we moved into a house - currently in a flat which we’re trying to sell but Covid is making the market weird so we’re struggling! I got fed up with waiting so convinced hubby we should just try and if we have a baby before we move well we’ll just deal with it! Still makes me nervous though that we won’t have space or we’ll end up with twins or triplets or something 🤣

Bundaberg84 · 24/05/2021 22:20

@JuniperAndTonic maybe we're onto something!😉 Fingers crossed for you as well!🤞
@K8Tee I always feel chilled until like 10dpo or something around that 😉

Wow sorry for the spelling - no idea what happened! Stupid autocorrect but hopefully it still makes a bit of sense 😂

JuniperAndTonic · 24/05/2021 22:07

I’ve had similar today @Bundaberg84 don’t know if it means anything but could be implantation?? 🤞🏻 Baby dust to you and well done on not testing yet - great willpower!! I get what you mean - last minute th I just got anted to know for definite, every time I tested early I just kept thinking “‘subs it’s too early” “maybe there will be a line tomorrow” so I do think it’s better to just wait!

JuniperAndTonic · 24/05/2021 22:04

@dogmom0930

Great willpower *@JuniperAndTonic*! And it sounds like you've been doing well at keeping yourself busy!

I am 5 DPO and on an extended weekend away with the hubby. So, that has helped me to get through the first few days of TWW without obsessively starting to symptom spot. Though it was 95 degrees F here today and I couldn't help but wonder if I was any more prone to heat exhaustion than normal 🤔 I def got dizzy the month of my chemical, so I will be watching for that (but not for another week I guess).

Wish it was that warm here (had to look up what 95F is in C though haha!). It’s currently only about 10C (50F) here at the moment and I think we’re all desperate for some warm weather! Maybe not quite that warm though! 😅 Glad you had a distraction from the TWW though!!
Bundaberg84 · 24/05/2021 22:02

I hope you're all holding up well in the TWW! I'm now 10dpo and yesterday - or the day before? - I started having AF like cramps. Dull, feels like the cramps before the bad ones start if that makes sense? Only in the evening so far. Weird... I was convinced it's AF showing up but since I'm due Thursday or Friday it's a bit early for those cramps.
I don't want to test yet though, I couldn't deal with a 'not reall there' line. Need a yes or a no :)

How are you all @dogmom0930 @80sPadme @k8tee and everyone else in the two week wait? And of course the bumps - @IzzT @Daisyrobin123 and @Tangfastic91 - hope everything is all okay with you guys!

JuniperAndTonic · 24/05/2021 21:06

Evening! I’m 8DPO and felt some mild crampy pains today. I don’t know why, I was drawn to looking at the pregnancy tests in Tesco today, eventhough I have loads of internet cheapies at home 🙄 managed to resist buying any more haha! Still want to try and hold out for a few more days to test so we’ll see how long I can hold out! Last month I cracked at 10 days so only 2 to go 😅

I’ve been enjoying a bit of return to normality the last few days - met up with the in laws on Saturday, shopping yesterday, coffee with my mum today and I even went swimming! Felt good to get some exercise but I’m aching now 😅

K8Tee · 24/05/2021 15:29

Hey ladies. 7 or 8 dpo here. I'm holding off testing too. Been busy with work and have an exam on Friday then moving house next week hopefully so it's been a distracting week lol 😆 anyone due to test soon? X

dogmom0930 · 24/05/2021 14:57

5 DPO here. Feeling pretty normal. I always feel the effects of my digestion slowing down during this week of the month. So I always feel like my food is sticking with me 😜 But hopefully that goes away here in a few days 🤷‍♀️ Planning to hold off testing for another week unless I feel anything out of the ordinary before then 😊

80sPadme · 24/05/2021 14:07

So sorry to hear that @Aries491
Keeping fingers crossed for everyone else in the TWW.
How far in is everyone and how are you all doing/ feeling

80sPadme · 23/05/2021 18:52

@JuniperAndTonic

Sorry to hear *@Aries491*! Hope AF is done with soon so you can move on and at least you know for definite now! Try and hold on to that positive attitude!!

Hope you’re all having a good weekend. I’m doing okay, 7DPO and today I’ve been out spending money - went shopping for the first time since before Christmas (not food shopping, actual non essential shopping!!). Haven’t really been thinking about the 2WW as been distracted which is good! Hopefully the next few days pass quickly so I can find out one way or the other! I have no symptoms what so ever but I know that’s meaningless at this stage really!

Really shopping @JuniperAndTonic, I'm doing that next week. I canne wait!!!

Aries491 · 23/05/2021 16:01

Thanks @dogmom0930 for the kind words :) it was our first proper cycle so going to relax and feel positive for the next go! Just get AF out the way first lol!
Hope this TWW goes fast for you and there is a BFP at the end of it! Sending baby dust :)

dogmom0930 · 23/05/2021 14:21

Sorry to hear that @Aries491! But good for you to see the silver lining of a fresh start! Timing is everything, and hoping that timing for you is right around the corner 😊

4 DPO for me today and not loving the indigestion that always seems to come with my progesterone rise after OD. But it puts me that much closer to testing time at least! 🤷‍♀️ Hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend!

Aries491 · 23/05/2021 13:11

Looks like AF is showing up today, very light but pretty convinced its the witch lol! Never mind onto the next cycle and ordering some cb opks this time round- might as well give it a go! :-) hope everyone else is well and the TWW isn't too bad for those in it! X

80sPadme · 22/05/2021 17:46

Hopefully your still in @Aries491.
2DPO and I'm already chomping at the bit to know if I am or not Confused

Aries491 · 22/05/2021 08:36

@Tangfastic91 hopefully as I've seen on here we aren't out till AF shows up! Although this is our first proper cycle so not stressing too much lol! Tempted to buy some FRER today lol think I'm turning into a POAS addict 🙈🙈🙈 hope you're well today and have a nice Saturday! :)

Tangfastic91 · 22/05/2021 08:29

@Aries491 hopefully you've just tested a bit early for digital 🤞

Aries491 · 22/05/2021 07:42

BFN on a digital this morning, shame although AF not due till tomorrow according to flo so if still not made an appearance by Monday I might test again. Think I'll try those OPKs and cheap tests for next next if no luck this month. Hope everyone else has a nice weekend! :)

dogmom0930 · 21/05/2021 17:32

Yay for weekends!! Fingers crossed for you @Aries491! You're so strong to wait 💪🏻

@80sPadme I so hope for you that that's not the case ❤️ Wishing you a healthy chance this month!!

2 DPO for me today and about to head to the airport for a weekend away. Hopefully that keeps my mind off of things 🤞🏻

Tangfastic91 · 21/05/2021 11:12

Happy Friday @Aries491. Hoping you get that BFP at the weekend!!
