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?

11 Dpo and tester on - still BFN, my line eyes think I can see a super faint line but in reality it's probably an evap/ indentation/ my crazy line eyes. I'm disheartened about my AF coming. Sad

@JuniperAndTonic @dogmom0930 I have everything crossed for you for this month.

@IzzT, really glad everything is going smoothly for you :) exciting about having an early scan.

I'm late on now again and no sign of AF but another negative test today. I was hoping to be able to slip a bfp in my partners anniversary card but the universe has other plans for us.

Lalala1985 · 05/05/2021 08:12

I think this is highly unlikely to be anything but took another test this morning as my BBT has stayed up at 11DPO whereas it usually starts decreasing at this point. Can anyone else see what I see? Or do you reckon it's just an evap line.
Tbh I've been thinking I've been seeing faint lines with a few tests now but this is the first I've been able to capture on camera.

IzzT · 04/05/2021 20:43

@JuniperAndTonic and @dogmom0930 sorry last month wasn't successful for you guys, but at least now you can get starting on this cycle! Sending you all baby dust!

I'm now 15DPO and still no AF and still positive tests so I'm feeling much more relaxed. I've booked an early reassurance scan in about 3 weeks time so fingers crossed that's all good! 🤞

I think I can officially count today as CD 1, which is fairly normal for me! I'm kind of relieved to be honest. It's good to know that despite O being a few days late, my cycle length has been fairly normal after the CP! Here's to hoping O and PMS don't cause quite so much nausea for me this round Wink Better order some more OPKs! Smile

charja100 · 04/05/2021 18:20

Thanks @dogmom0930 will let you know what happens ☺️

charja100 · 04/05/2021 18:19

@80sPadme

10dpo and I tested again ( I know I'm a dumb ass) still BFN but I have so much bloating, I'm exhausted and cramping so much, like AF but all on one side 🙄

This is actually me today but I'm only 8 DPO. You'll have to keep me updated @80sPadme

JuniperAndTonic · 04/05/2021 18:18

Thanks @K8Tee and @dogmom0930! I actually feel okay - I was expecting it after all the negative tests and feel good about the next cycle! Although I’d quite like AF and the cramps to be gone now that I know 😂
Hope you both get a definite answer soon as well!

dogmom0930 · 04/05/2021 15:37

Sorry this month was a no-go for you @JuniperAndTonic!

Rooting for a BFP for you @charja100!

I'm still with you @K8Tee. Though I did wake up through the night with AF-like cramps. So, I think she's on her way.

K8Tee · 04/05/2021 14:48

@JuniperAndTonic sorry to hear af has arrived, at least you know where you stand now at least. Fingers crossed for this month for you. I've been using opks and findbthem quite helpful x

JuniperAndTonic · 04/05/2021 14:16

AF is here so back to cycle day 1 for me! Looking forward to a fresh cycle and hopefully I’ll be more chilled in the next 2WW but I doubt it 😂 I’ve ordered OPKs from amazon so will start doing those once my period has finished! Hope everyone else is doing okay today!

charja100 · 04/05/2021 13:48

Hi ladies, CD 28 and roughly 8DPO this TWW is killing me 😫🥱🤣

K8Tee · 04/05/2021 13:35

Hi ladies. Negative here too and still no af.

Keeping everything crossed for you all.

80sPadme · 04/05/2021 13:01

10dpo and I tested again ( I know I'm a dumb ass) still BFN but I have so much bloating, I'm exhausted and cramping so much, like AF but all on one side 🙄

dogmom0930 · 04/05/2021 03:09

Still very light spotting today (have been on and off since Friday) and no AF at 14 dpo. Normally I’d expect AF to show up properly after this long of spotting. After the first month coming off BCP, AF started at 14 dpo. Last month with the chemical, 18 dpo. So I guess I’ll keep twiddling my thumbs 🤷‍♀️ Also, I figure the more I talk about it on here, the more I’ll encourage her to show her face 😉

IzzT · 03/05/2021 18:38

Sorry I mean to tag @JuniperAndTonic 🙈

@Lalala1985 I'm pretty sure it's based off the women's age and not the men's age so go at 6 months.

@dogmom0930 feeling okay so far today, thanks for asking. AF so far hasn't made an appearance. Like @Daisyrobin123 I'm not feeling nervous about the next few weeks. I think unfortunately there is always something to worry about and these forums are often full of threads where things have gone wrong which doesn't help the anxiety. I'm currently going with the mantra "I'm pregnant today, and for that I'm grateful and excited." I'm also trying to go with knowing that more often than not things go well so the chances are I will have a healthy and successful pregnancy. And if things go wrong I will hopefully deal with them if they happen but I'm crossing my fingers that it'll all be okay!

Daisyrobin123 · 03/05/2021 16:06

@JuniperAndTonic I'm doing ok thank you for asking! The 2ww worry has been replaced with anxiety of hoping everything is going ok. I don't think reading negative stuff on these threads helps sometimes so I'll be glad to be back at work tomorrow for the distraction 🙈I'll be 5 weeks on wednesday so still very early.

Sorry to hear about you being in limbo. I was like that last cycle and AF ended up being 4 days late which was so cruel. Hopefully you can start getting on with the next cycle soon! I would recommend getting OPK's! It really helped us pinpoint ovulation (we completely missed it when I took a break from them last month to be more relaxed). X

Lalala1985 · 03/05/2021 16:00

Still no BFP for me. I still think it's unlikely that we were successful this month as I had such a short follicular phase. I had a BBT dip at 7DPO though which is the only think making me hopeful, though I had a very stressful time 5-6DPO so that dip could have been due to that (my thermometer wouldn't even record my temp at 6DPO!).

We're edging closer to the 6 month mark where we can go get our fertility checked out, though have been not trying not avoiding for the last 8years. Do any of you know if it matters that I'm 35 (so can ask for tests at 6 months of TTC) but my DH is only 33?
Tbh it's not so much me that I'm worrying about as I see an endocrinologist at least once a year where I get hormones tested so going to ask for extra tests next time I see him in June anyway, but I don't really want to have to wait 12 months for DH so get his sperm checked.

1DPO - Anyone want to join for the 2WW?
DeafChef1 · 03/05/2021 14:43

I got a small amount of spotting shortly after I typed that message so I am going to assume I am out for this cycle as this is how AF always starts for me. Best of luck to everyone else!

@dogmom0930 & @K8Tee Baby dust for you both next month!

JuniperAndTonic · 03/05/2021 14:42

In the same boat @dogmom0930 and @K8Tee - 14DPO, AF due today but literally no signs and tested BFN again this morning. Just want AF to come and go now so I can move on to the next cycle! Do you think it’s worth ordering some OPKs for this next cycle? It will only be my second cycle and supposed to be being relaxed about it but I’m the opposite of relaxed 😅

@DeafChef1 I can’t believe you haven’t tested again yet! I’ve tested 4 times this week can’t resist! I understand why though, it must be disheartening to keep seeing negative tests after a while! All the best and fingers crossed AF stays away!!

@IzzT and @Daisyrobin123 how are you both feeling today?

80sPadme · 03/05/2021 14:36

Just tested 9dpo. BFN!
I don't even know why I tested tbh. It's silly because we weren't even actively trying this month but now I'm in the TWW I'm like a crazy person.

K8Tee · 03/05/2021 14:30

Ah that's a bummer @dogmom0930, still not out til af arrives but i know what you mean, wish we could just fast worward past this part lol. I miscalculated and am actually 12dpo I think today not that it makes much difference. I've felt periody for a while now and had dizzy spells and nausea but also have a bit of a virus so could just be that.

Good luck for your results @DeafChef1 x

dogmom0930 · 03/05/2021 14:00

Sorry no BFPs for you either @K8Tee and @DeafChef1! I’m 14 dpo and BFN this morning as well. After a few days of nausea and light spotting, I don’t feel PG or PMSy. So, I’m just antsy for AF to arrive so I can get on with the next cycle.

DeafChef1 · 03/05/2021 13:33

I am super delayed and will have to go back and read more in the thread. I am now 6 days late, AF still nowhere in sight. Haven't taken another pregnancy test out of fear that it will be another negative. But I did go in for blood work on Saturday, so I am waiting for word from my doctor.

Congratulations on all the wonderful BFPs in here!

I am not out until AF arrives so I will just stay positive.....but to be honest my body is getting on my nerves right now. Confused
