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?

Morning, well I'm due on today/tomorrow and my body has tricked me yet again with "symptoms" but another bfn. 13dpo today. Turns out some of my sicky feeling is likely cos I've picked up my daughters cough etc (not covid thank goodness). My partner will be pleased when he finds out I don't have much voice left lol.

Still not out til AF arrives but mentally prepared for her to show her ugly face now. Hope you are all doing well and have a fab Bank Holiday Monday 😀 xx

Sorry for those who got AF this cycle, hopefully it's next time lucky.
Hoping I get some ovulation pain this week, then I can start the TWW! Been great to read about all you who are further along in the cycle, so thanks I have an idea now of when to test and what to look out for. Smile

Awww thanks @Daisyrobin123! I’ve found it super helpful for me to follow you all here. When I’m feeling antsy or stressing about where I’m at, it’s all I can think about. But, it puts me more at ease after I’ve taken the focus off myself and onto encouraging good thoughts for others 😊

I’m 32 and on my 3rd cycle after coming off BCP. Second cycle using OPKs. First cycle after CP. I’ve been nervous these last few years about how quickly I might be able to conceive (though I haven’t been ready to start trying until this year). So I’m thankful after my CP to know that that shouldn’t be an issue. Now just waiting for my month of a clear BFP and sticky bean. I totally trust that it will happen when the timing is right. But of course, I’m antsy to know when that might be 😜

Daisyrobin123 · 02/05/2021 17:03

@dogmom0930 You radiate positivity! I wish I had met you during my first cycle when I was stressing all the time! 🌷 Thank you that's so kind of you! I definitely will take it a day at a time! What cycle are you on again? I've completely lost who is where and when now!

dogmom0930 · 02/05/2021 16:55

Oh man @Daisyrobin123 I can only imagine. I can tell you to take it a day at a time, but that’s so much easier said than done. We’re here for you if you need a sounding board!

And thanks! It’s been such a weird month after the CP where nothing has felt like it has in the past haha! Whatever happens, I’ll just be glad to feel more in the know 😉

Daisyrobin123 · 02/05/2021 16:33

@dogmom0930 I'm doing ok, thank you for asking! The anxiety of the 2ww has now been replaced with the anxiety of making it to 6 weeks, then to 8 and then to 12 🙈 nausea is still hanging around but I think I'm used to it now. I had a couple of evenings of being really sick which was awful but I've been ok the past couple of days. Still all feels very surreal!

Hopefully AF stays away and you just implanted late! But if not, we will be rooting for you next month! I hated that feeling of being in limbo just waiting to see if AF would arrive!!

dogmom0930 · 02/05/2021 15:24

Thinking about you @IzzT and hoping for all good things and some extra peace of mind for you!!

IzzT · 02/05/2021 14:56

@JuniperAndTonic glad the covid swab is negative! Fingers crossed for a late BFP for you!

@Missmcmonkeymcbean sorry to hear AF has arrived, but hopefully this is the cycle now for you!

@dogmom0930 cramping from yesterday is much better. Boobs are pretty achey which is unusual for me. Still no signs of AF, but she's not due until tomorrow. Feeling very nervous that she's going to show despite the tests still being positive. Hopefully I'll feel a bit more relaxed tomorrow. Going to try and book an early reassurance scan at 7 weeks which will help as well I think!

13 dpo here and BFN too. Light spotting still there but no full blown AF yet. I don’t think I really feel much different than normal PMS right now, so I’m thinking AF is still on the way. Time will tell! How are our BFPs feeling today? @Daisyrobin123 and @IzzT

K8Tee · 02/05/2021 11:42

Sorry @Missmcmonkeymcbean, its true I've had so many symptoms every month and it's all bee a big fat trick lol. Our time will come. The longer it takes me the closer it gets to our wedding day, was hoping to have around a year to get back in shape but currently have 9 months lol 😆 we will get there when the time is right :) xx

Missmcmonkeymcbean · 02/05/2021 11:24

Had been feeling cramps since 3po but got AF today and now totally understand when other posts say that the body LIES! 😂😞 Onto the next cycle...

K8Tee · 02/05/2021 11:05

Glad you are feeling better @JuniperAndTonic and got a negative covid test. 12dpo here too and a negative test. Still feeling very periody so think she's on her ugly way. Oh well on to month 5 of trying unless we have any late double lines lol xx

JuniperAndTonic · 02/05/2021 10:28

Morning ladies! Feeling much better today, my Covid swab was negative thank goodness (a BFN I was happy to see 🤣). Didn’t bother testing this morning abs it’s been BFN the last 3 days. AF is due tomorrow so I’ll wait and see if it starts and if not then I’ll test again. Feeling much more chilled about it all now - I’ll probably be going crazy again in the next 2WW though 🤣

Hope you’re feeling better today @IzzT, I’ve heard cramping can be normal in early pregnancy so hopefully it’s all okay and the fact your tests are still positive is a good sign!

K8Tee · 01/05/2021 23:04

@IzzT fingers crossed for no AF! I'm sure it will be fine I've read that some cramping is normal but you'll no doubt feel better once your period due date has passed.

I only have 1 more test left so will use that tomorrow morning and just wait for af then I think as I'm due on in 2/3 days anyway now. X

dogmom0930 · 01/05/2021 22:29

@IzzT Fingers crossed that AF stays away for you and that the wait doesn’t stress you out too much!

IzzT · 01/05/2021 20:58

@JuniperAndTonic sorry to hear you're not too well - takeaway always makes things better though! Fingers crossed for a quick recovery.

@K8Tee still time to get your BFP, sending you all the baby dust 🥰

How is everyone doing today?

I'm 12DPO now. Had quite a lot of cramping today which is worrying me a little bit. Tests are still positive and and I got a positive 1-2 weeks on the digital today so still holding out some hope, just crossing my fingers that the cramping isn't the start of something. AF would be due in two days, I really hope she stays away 🤞

dogmom0930 · 01/05/2021 20:52

Thanks @JuniperAndTonic! Looking forward to just knowing. I feel like I can think of nothing else today and need to distract myself as only time will tell 😜 Hope your Covid test comes back negative!!

K8Tee · 01/05/2021 20:52

Ah we are from all over the place then! :)

Hope you feel better soon @JuniperAndTonic

JuniperAndTonic · 01/05/2021 20:19

Hi @dogmom0930 thanks for checking in - sorry I’ve been quiet today! BFN again this morning. But I also woke up feeling really ill, had a high temperature so had to call in sick for work and get a Covid swab! I don’t think it’s Covid but isolating until I get the result which sucks! Although we did get a takeaway which cheered me up and I feel better this evening!! Hope AF doesn’t appear for you!!

Sorry to hear you’re still getting BFNs too @K8Tee Hope you’ve had a good day! I’m from Milton Keynes ☺️

Welcome @Laurenat85! It’s so hard to resist testing isn’t it! Sorry to hear about your chemical, hope you get a BFP soon and it’s a sticky one!!

dogmom0930 · 01/05/2021 18:56

@Laurenat85 That’s kind of where I’m at with a CP to end March too. Sorry that you had to go through that!

How are you doing @JuniperAndTonic?

dogmom0930 · 01/05/2021 13:46

Sorry about your BFN @K8Tee! I started spotting last night and wondering if AF is about to make an early appearance. So, will test if AF doesn’t show her face! I’m from Minnesota in the US 😊

Tangfastic91 · 01/05/2021 12:52

Sorry to hear @K8Tee, but not out yet!
Northampton here :)

Laurenat85 · 01/05/2021 11:08

Joining the “lucky thread” from Sydney (hubby born and raised in Nottingham!)
Ttc #2, 8+months TTC, CP in March
11dpo and have been spotting for a few days ... but this has started happening every month for 6 months so unlikely IB 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just FX it stops and AF doesn’t show in Wednesday! Trying to hold off until I’m late to test but it’s so hard!!!

IzzT · 01/05/2021 09:39

@K8Tee oh no! But as you said still a chance so I'd save the last test!

I'm based in Stafford.
