1dpo - it's going to be a long two weeks if anyone wants to symptom spot with me

This TWW is really dragging isn't it, glad I'm not the only one getting impatient 😅

I'm either 7 or 8dpo today and haven't tested yet, not had any symptoms to speak of either. I will try to hold out until Sunday (10/11DPO) at the earliest, and if that's BFN I'll leave it another 3 days, when AF will definitely be overdue.

@sunflower25049 I'm not sure there's solid evidence behind the implantation BBT dip - then again, if I get a dip tomorrow I might be more inclined to believe in it!

To all the ladies testing before 9 DPO - pleeeeeease be kind to yourselves!!!!!! HCG needs time to rise before being detectable on a urine test after implantation which someone pointed out doesn't happen until 6 - 10 DPO with the most common day being 9!

I know it's hard, these last few months I've done the same but please don't count yourselves out at this stage! It's still so early. Big love and hugs to everyone ❤️ keeping my fingers and toes crossed for us all.

On a side note, what's everyone's thoughts on BBT to detect implantation? Xxx

Yes I've tested, still BFN! i don't know why but I kind of expected even just a whisper of a line this morning after all of the twinges etc I had yesterday. Woken up feeling absolutely fine this morning, so not sure what's going on.

God I hate this wait!

Bfn again 😔
Has anybody else tested?

Oh my, I'm kind of glad it's not just me overthinking every little twinge! I've got a Fitbit and my resting heart rate has gone up by 5 beats since ovulation (which was one of my fist indicators in my previous pregnancies) and I've felt a bit crampy on and off too. Of course it could all be in my mind, that's the 2ww torture isn't it?!

I've ordered a FRER which is being delivered tomorrow but I'm only 5DPO so no point in testing until at least next week. The temptation is real tho 😅

Good luck to you ladies and hope the 2ww flies by 🤞

The only thing keeping me going is that it'd be SUPER unlikely for my AF to come this soon

@emevol mine felt different to af the last few days..sort of like a tingley/scratchy feeling on either side but this evening they have felt more like af so who knows :-(

See mine feel really similar to AF but vary from light to slightly 'painful' if that's the right
word..
I have no clue what to think. The cramps
radiate round my hips to my lower back.
Praying I'm not just coming down with something 😢😢

In all fairness I knew from the cramps I was pregnant as they just felt different to AF cramps- so I think about 2 days or so. I took a test on the second day and it was positive. Good luck 🤞🏻

@Mayfield87 thank you so much! Did they last a while..? I've had them all day in varying degrees of strength! X

@emevol with ds1 cramps were my first sign of pregnancy. Wishing you lots of luck 🍀

So the cramps are spreading round to my hips and lower back, predominantly on the left side.... what on earth is happening! I'm only 6/7DPO!

Got my fingers crossed! Never felt so crampy this early on in my 2WW before! Been TTC for 2 years for our first 🌈

@emevol I think I always implant on 6 DPO as I usually get a temperature dip on that day and a BFP on 8 DPO (it takes about 2 days for the HCG to filter into your wee).

@emevol now I want kfc 😂. Implantation can be 6dpo-12dpo but rare before 8dpo apparently with 9dpo being the most common day. Who knows though as no one knows exactly when they implanted. I’ve stopped symptom spotting now as I’m on cycle 5 and felt every symptom going over the months (different symptoms on different cycles) and none of them have been because of pregnancy and when I had my daughter I had no symptoms until nearly 7 weeks! So I’ve told myself to ignore everything as it could mean anything and nothing

I had day 21 bloods earlier today (well day 20 as my cycles average 26 days) I’m 6dpo today (if my opk’s are accurate and I actually ovulate) so it’s half way through my LP

Does anybody know the usual timeframe that implantation would take place..? Is 6/7 DPO too early...? I'm so crampy today it's unreal!

I have a Doctors appointment on Monday and need to know if I’m PG or not before then so that’s my excuse for testing early 😃the other thing is if I have another chemical I would rather know as if you have 3 then it means that something might be wrong.

8pdo here and definitely feeling a bit off with bloating and gas, bought some FRERs but will wait until the weekend to take one!

Well I gave in too and tested. BFN of course. I am so down about it even so I know it's too early.

I did an impulse test last night at probably 7dpo, neg, that reined me back in and don’t think I’ll test til Friday. It’s a few years so I forget the full details but I’m sure with my pregnancies I didn’t have symptoms til af due. I had one accidental chemical tho so I must’ve tested early on that.

@Sunshine085 Yup just tested 😅im only 7 DPO so obviously BFN 🤦🏻‍♀️I usually get a squinter on 8DPO in the PM so let’s see what tomorrow brings! Last month when I had my chemical I felt bloated on 7DPO whereas now I dont so it may well be another BFN tomorrow 🥲

Has anybody tested this morning? I am so tempted to test but know its too early. I am only 7 or 8dpo. Before I got faint lines at 9/10dpo so really should wait at least til tomorrow but I am very impatient.

I think I'm only 6 DPO! so I'm not exactly sure what's going on 😅😅

@emevol that sounds promising, how many dpo are you? I’m on day six and although I keep feeling twinges, I know because I made an effort last month when we weren’t TTC to observe my body, that I also had these twinges then. Implantation is likely to happen 7-9 days so I have a little while yet to wait.
