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?

Happy Friday guys! I managed not to cave this morning did my FMU and thought right leave until tomorrow. I'll be 13/14 dpo tomorrow so probs an alright time to test with AF due Sunday. @JuniperAndTonic I should have got cheapies lol! Will have a look for next time if this cycle hasn't worked.
@80sPadme I'm not sure what that could mean, I feel so new to this I'm consulting Dr Google all the time!! Is it something you can speak to a GP about at all if worrying you? Not sure how difficult that is with covid still, I've not seen a GP in a year or so they just keep signing off my asthma prescriptions over the phone! Best wishes to all for the weekend :-) x

I am 1DPO today.
That means I ovulated on CD 11 and I'm worried as that's 3 months in a row. Does this indicate poor egg quality and a short follicular phase 😭😭😭

dogmom0930 · 21/05/2021 01:04

Hey all! 1 DPO for me today and feeling good about this month whatever happens Smile I'm going to try to not test until at least 12 DPO unless I have symptoms that tempt me otherwise. I'm so curious how symptom spotting will go for me this month! Last month I had such terrible and unusual nausea and got not even the faintest positive. Assuming it was just hormones readjusting from the previous month. But, I definitely didn't expect it!

Hope the weather across the pond improves for you all! We've had rain and hot, muggy weather here the last few days. I'm looking forward to some sun bathing during the TWW!

JuniperAndTonic · 20/05/2021 21:06

@Tangfastic91 I know right it’s freezing! Went out without a coat yesterday and definitely regretted it 😂

@Aries491 it is so tempting to test! But I know there’s no point this early! I started testing from 10DPO last month and even that is quite early! I do feel better now than last month which was my first cycle trying and I was so obsessive!! I’ve heard the clear blue digital aren’t that sensitive and also expensive if you’re going to test early and take multiple! But some internet cheapies - I got 20 on amazon for £8 or something!

@80sPadme hi again! I’ll be sure to update you when I decide to start POAS so you can get your fix 😂

80sPadme · 20/05/2021 20:29

Hi @JuniperAndTonic
Another familiar name for this next 2 weeks. I'm actually excited this month that I'm a bit behind you guys so I can live vicariously through your POAS.

Aries491 · 20/05/2021 20:14

Thanks @JuniperAndTonic :)
It's so tempting to test isn't it, I'm 11 or 12 dpo today (apps are a day out lol) and was tempted this morning but didn't. Might cave tomorrow but I've only got those clear blue digital so not sure how sensitive they are. Hope the next week goes fast for you!

Weather is awful isn't it, I've just nipped out and the rain was just horrible (lancashire based so you'd think I'd be used to it!) I wish we had last years weather :)

Tangfastic91 · 20/05/2021 20:02

Hey @JuniperAndTonic! Hope the next week goes fast for you. This weather is honestly depressing, I had my heating on in September and it's still on now, so that's maybe 3 months in a year that I don't have to have the heat on (I'm also very much in the add another jumper first camp so not precious!)

JuniperAndTonic · 20/05/2021 19:55

Hi ladies, how are you all doing? Welcome to the thread @Aries491!

I’m still plodding along at 4DPO - going to try and hold out another week to test but we’ll see how I feel next week as I’m still feeling calm this week and even forgot how many DPO I am until I checked my app!

What has everyone been up to to pass the time? I’m a little fed up with the rubbish British weather and still wearing jumpers and coats when I feel I should be wearing summery dresses by now!! I’m trying to eat healthy but it’s so hard when it’s cold and grey and I just want comfort food!!

Aries491 · 20/05/2021 11:52

Hi @80sPadme thank you! Got my amazon test delivery yesterday and feeling the urge but from reading threads on here the risk of a negative too early would be irritating. Going to try and wait until weekend, AF due Sunday.
Fab on the smiley too thats a great sign 😀 x

80sPadme · 20/05/2021 11:44

Hi @Aries491- hoping everything goes well for you this month.
@dogmom0930 and @K8Tee good to have some familiar names in solidarity for the next two weeks.
Just got my first smiley on a CB opk and pos cheapy too GrinGrin

taytay2020 · 19/05/2021 08:21

Morning everyone! I'm on CD10 and expecting OD somewhere between cd15 & cd20. Next week might be tiring! 😂 Is anyone else starting their 2ww in about a week's time?

I've got my smear test this afternoon. Fun times, but I guess I should get used to being inspected down there...

Congratulations @tangfastic91 😊

Aries491 · 19/05/2021 06:54

@K8Tee and @dogmom0930 thanks for the welcome and well wishes! Im trying to hold out as long as possible so either Friday or Saturday am I will test I think which should be either 13 or 14 dpo looking at my flo app (12 or 13 looking at fitbit lol). How's everyone doing today? Good luck with the TWW for everyone entering :)

Tangfastic91 · 19/05/2021 06:38

Wishing all the ladies entering TWW luck this month. I'd love to stay around and see how you all get on, if that's ok!

dogmom0930 · 19/05/2021 00:09

Hello @Aries491! Fingers crossed for you!!

Peaked today and O day should be tomorrow for me I would think. Almost time for the dreaded TWW!

K8Tee · 18/05/2021 23:51

Congratulations @Tangfastic91 amazing news!

Cd13 I think and 1 or 2 dpo. I've not been as obsessed either this month so far. This is cycle 5 of ttc number 2.

Hi @Aries491, good luck for the weekend, it sounds promising for you. 🤞I joined for the same reason too x

Tangfastic91 · 18/05/2021 17:08

Exactly the same reason I joined these lovely ladies on the thread @Aries491!

Thanks @daisyrobin123. Dinner tonight will be a bland one all round 😂

Daisyrobin123 · 18/05/2021 16:43

@Tangfastic91 Congratulations!! Amazing news, first cycle too!! Love the story about your OH, though I'm sure it wasn't too funny at the time 🙈 wishing you the best for your pregnancy!

Aries491 · 18/05/2021 15:53

@Tangfastic91 thank you! Congrats on your BFP! Fingers crossed good news then...i will try haha! Luckily work is quite busy and been decorating round the house so have some distractions i suppose!! I felt I had to join a thread on here as not telling anyone we are ttc and my OH (as lovely as he is) doesn't really get it apart from his part lol!

Tangfastic91 · 18/05/2021 15:47

Hey @Aries491 welcome! Your symptoms sound very similar to mine... I attributed them to PMS but ended up with BFP! Good luck holding out on testing, recommend you do cause I tried at 10dpo and got a negative. Almost ordered ovulation tests for next cycle as I was adamant it hadn't worked 😂

Aries491 · 18/05/2021 15:43

Hello! Hope you don't mind me joining been stalking threads for a week or so 🙈
I am 30 ttc #1 proper cycle 1. Currently 9 or 10 DPO depending on which app i use (fitbit and flo) and been experiencing lower back ache and cramps for the past day or so combined with waves of nausea and occasional dizziness! Proper new to this so not sure what to expect but amazon ordered some tests anyway. AF due Sunday so will try and hang on testing till the weekend but the temptation is real...hope everyone is well! X

dogmom0930 · 18/05/2021 13:22

What amazing news @Tangfastic91! Congrats!

Fingers crossed for you @JuniperAndTonic! Let's let this lucky thread continue 😊

Tangfastic91 · 18/05/2021 11:17

Thanks @JuniperAndTonic. Have my fingers crossed for you this cycle! Hopefully the chilled out mindset will help :) let us know how you get on!

JuniperAndTonic · 18/05/2021 08:57

@Tangfastic91 that’s amazing news congratulations! Hubby’s reaction will be a funny story to tell in the future 😂

I’m 2 days post ovulation now and feeling much more chilled than last month, I know we’ve done all we can this month (used OPK, DTD lots during fertile period etc) so it’s just up to nature now! I’m sure I’ll be symptom spotting in a few days but for now I’m feeling good!

Tangfastic91 · 18/05/2021 08:43

@IzzT I woke him up after doing the test about 5am to tell him 🙈. He unmm had a bit of a physical reaction to the news and is asleep on the bathroom floor with the worst nausea he's ever had (no v yet thankfully). Sympathy symptoms??? Bless him, he's very apologetic. Sure I'll get my own back in the next few weeks X

IzzT · 18/05/2021 08:32

@Tangfastic91 amazing! Maybe this is a lucky thread!

Probably a bit of shock but dizziness and nausea obviously can be symptoms too! Have you told your partner yet?
