Hello!

Continuation of our last thread…

All of us TTC and in different cycles and stages of our journey.

Helping eachother through the TWW, through the confusing days of OPK/BBT testing and charts, through all of the symptom spotting, the dreaded arrival of AF and the BFP announcements! 😊✨

January was a very lucky month for some who got their BFP and some of us are ready to make February our month!

With giggles and lots of support along the way.

Welcome!

Deffo not stupid! It’s all so confusing.

Do you use opks to see when your LH surge is? If you do then most people count 1DPO as the day after your peak opk. If you’re going by an app then 1DPO is the day after the day it’s says you ovulated Smile

@PinkButtercups are you tracking your ovulation? its normally 1 day after your "peak" x

RMS0209 · 23/02/2022 09:32

Hi @PinkButtercups welcome!

I'd wait a few more days and test if I were you, sending you lots of luck.
Welcome to the gang.. these ladies are fabulous! keeping me calm during the wonderful TWW :) x

@Newbiemg

Hello *@PinkButtercups* welcome Smile I think AF is due for me on 2nd of March too but not sure if my app is accurate. How many DPO are you? Could be too early to test yet. I’d wait a couple more days and try again. Sending lots of luck ✨
Thank you. DPO do you count that from the first day of ovulation or the very end? Sorry I sound stupid.

@RMS0209 and @Newbiemg
thank you! I'm ok. It still feels surreal as I've been ttc for 12+ months and it's the first time that during the tww I know for a fact there's an embryo in my body! Keeping my hopes up BUT also trying to manage my expectations in case it's a no

@SMD16 wishing you the best for tomorrow!

@Pops100 fingers crossed for the 5th for both of us! Sending all my best wishes!

Hello, can I join please?

Due AF on 2nd March. Took a cheapie today and it was BFN. Not sure if I'm out or just too early to test?

On a few other threads but I'm constantly ignored on there so hopefully this thread is a bit nicer x

@Pei86 sorry I didn't tag you in my comment hope you get this x

@Cookiedough123 glad you're doing so well!

@Pei86 fingers crossed for you ! We're due to test the same day 🤞🏼🤍

SMD16 · 22/02/2022 22:24

Welcome @Pei86 of course you can! Everyone's welcome to the mad house over here 💜 hope you are doing okay x

@Cookiedough123

Just catching up on the thread. Work has been crazy busy but I'm off on half term now.

@RMS0209 thank you for checking in on me.. I am 5w 4d now!! Can't believe I have gotten so far. I feel very very anxious about it not sticking and have quite a way to go yet before I feel relaxed. Trying to take one week at a time.

Sending baby dust to everyone. I see it's gone quiet, you must all be very active on your WhatsApp group but don't forget to keep checking in on here to keep thread lurkers like me updated 🙂🙂

@Cookiedough123 great news, delighted to hear this ❤️
RMS0209 · 22/02/2022 22:19

Hi Pei!
Ofcourse, welcome to our group.

How are you feeling? X

Pei86 · 22/02/2022 21:47

Hi! I have had my first FET today after my first round of IVF - I'm still on a TWW, was told to not test until March 5. Is it ok if I join this thread?

Also, this is my very first message on Mumsnet so quite frankly I'm not sure if I'm sending a message to this group or accidentally starting a new thread!

Wishing everyone the best of luck on their TTC journey!

@Cookiedough123 Glad things are progressing well with your pregnancy. Get that these first few weeks must be nerve wracking. Sending you lots of luck for a sticky bean. I’m 6dpo today so nearly half way through the dreaded tww Smile

Period due yesterday, no show. Testing tomorrow. Other than that nothing super exciting happening here x

Morning @Mays12 sorry I can’t see a line yet but as the others said some people don’t get a bfp until after AF due so try again in a few days if AF doesn’t arrive. You could have ovulated later than you thought too if you don’t take temps or use opks.

Sending you lots of luck! Smile

SMD16 · 19/02/2022 09:21

Morning @Mays12 I can't see anything there I'm afraid but could be the picture and just visible in real life if that makes sense. You still aren't out until AF shows x

RMS0209 · 19/02/2022 09:16

@Mays12 Morning Mays!

Oh no, sending you big hugs ❤️

Test again in a few days... still early :) x

Mays12 · 19/02/2022 08:56

Morning all! So I finally did a test this morning at 12 dpo with slightly disappointing results..

I used a FRER as I thought that would be my best chance since it’s still early but I don’t think there is anything.. I keep convincing myself there is a very faint line there but I’m not sure if that’s just because I want there to be!

I have worked out though and because I have long cycles I’m still 5 days away from AF being due so maybe it’s possible it’s still just too early for me too see anything significant?

Oh yes, a WhatsApp group would be great! I’ll send my number @lakejupiter!

Ooh and 8dpo cheeseburger. I’m veggie like @RMS0209 but will try a beyond meat cheeseburger instead! 2dpo today so a bit to wait yet
