TWW 1dpo today - who's with me?

292 replies

Hello!

Im just at the start of my TWW!

TTC cycle 1 (unofficially 6months)
Baby number 2 (DD is 2.5yrs old)
CD 18
Cycle length approx 25-29days long
1DPO today
AF due approx 31/1

Me and DH have been unofficially TTC baby number 2 for about 6months, so basically not been using any protection but not tracking my cycles either and just leaving it up to fate. However this month I've been doing OPKs and got a positive test on Wednesday and then a spike in my BBT this morning so pretty sure I can pin point my ovulation at some point yesterday putting me at about 1dpo today! DH and I have been DTD regularly throughout my fertile window this month so feeling hopeful!

Who wants to join me for the TWW?

@Carysmatic I conceived DS second month after coming off the pill. I'm test tomorrow at 10dpo but not expecting anything but can only hope❤️ I try not to symptom spot everything but defo easier said than done😂

MrsSB2023 · 21/01/2023 15:33

@Carysmatic I’m going to try and wait until the 1st but that probably won’t happen 😂 there’s a slim chance this month and we have a few birthdays and weddings so not putting too much pressure this month and hopefully next month we can be a bit more proactive around the fertile time!

@ukMummyof1 this will be my second, DD is going to be 3 in April!

Sorry to hear about your ectopic, that must have been really scary and upsetting for you! How long did it take you to conceive the first time round with your DS?

@MrsSB2023 I know! So hard not to analyse everything straight away. Like I've had low level nausea since ovulation but it's definitely too early to be a pregnancy symptom! All in my head really! Though I did have really bad morning sickness when pregnant with DD which started when I was about 4-5weeks pregnant so it was a really early symptom for me but only kicked in after I'd had my BFP! Are you an early tester or do you wait until AF is due? Xx

@Carysmatic I’ve had period cramps every day since ovulation and having yellow EWCM now. Obviously not pg symptoms but you know what it’s like analysing everything 😂 Hopefully you’ve managed to catch the egg!
@ukMummyof1 hiya 😊 exciting your test day is not far away!

ukMummyof1 · 21/01/2023 14:11

Ooo exciting! Will this be your first baby? I'm still breastfeeding my nearly 10 month old and over the last couple of days I have started pumping as he's beginning to start biting😳😂 I have boob pain but really unsure whether it's related to that or not but I usually NEVER have boob pain. Otherwise I'm having headaches when I usually only get those when I'm ovulating. I had an ectopic pregnancy in July and had surgery to remove my right tube and also have pcos so know this could be a journey😩xx

@ukMummyof1 Hii! I'm only 2DPO at the minute so probably a bit early for any symptoms! Have you had any symptoms that may be pregnancy related yet? If you're 9dpo you could probably do a test soon! Or are you going to wait for AF to be late? X

Hey! I think I'm 9dpo but didn't use ovulation tests this month but compared to other months and my EWD I think I'm about 9dpo give or take. Clue app says AF is due Monday so I'll test then. Anyone had any symptoms yet?

I definitely thought AF was imminent when I was pregnant with DD! I was so convinced I wasn't pregnant as I had period like cramps but took a test and was pregnant so I guess it just goes to show how similar early pregnancy signs are to AF symptoms!

My hubby was also away for a night when I was ovulating but got my positive OPK the morning before he left and we managed a quicky before he left but I would have liked another go the day after I got the positive OPK but oh well! There is still a good chance though so feeling hopeful 🤞🏻

Hiya @Carysmatic

So this will be number 4 for me, I have 3 DSs already to a previous marriage and DH has 2 DSs but we have none together, so technically will be number 6! Must be mad 😂

This is our first month not being careful but not holding out much hope as DH was working away the 2 nights after I got my peak (typical)!

My cycles are normally 31 days and I’m on CD 21 today. I’ve started using the CB digital OPKs and this is my log
CD 10-14 empty circle
CD 14 BD
CD 15 flashing smiley
CD 15 BD
CD 16-17 DH away
CD 18 lots of EWCM and libido high
CD 18 BD
CD 19 BD

I definitely feel like I ovulated on CD18 but we didn’t have a chance to BD immediately before it so not getting my hopes up!

My youngest is 11 and I don’t really remember much about the TWW with him other than directly before I got my BFP I didn’t feel pregnant at all!

How about you?

Hey @MrsSB2023 how you doing? Have you been TTC for long? And have you had any other pregnancies to compare feelings in the TWW with? All I rennet from early pregnancy with my DD is really sore boobs! Bit early for any symptom watching just yet though!
