TWW 1dpo today - who's with me?

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?

It’s still early - have everything crossed for you @Hmeeg xx

Hmeeg · 04/02/2023 06:25

OK so, 11 DPO today and of course I tested 🤦‍♀️ I've looked at it too long. It looks like a bfn and then I stare at it for ages and I see a line. But there's no line 😢 I'm not out until AF arrives tho so here's to that ❤️

@Luna0905 I don't blame you, I have 1 frer left and AF isn't due until Tuesday. I know I shouldn't bother testing but I'm sure I'll cave. I'll just have to give it to my dh to hide 😭

Luna0905 · 03/02/2023 15:27

@Hmeeg im going to hold off testing moving forwards until AF is due as I can’t deal with the disappointment and heartache now. It’s going to take willpower but DH usually orders the tests so tell him not to order until AF is due 😂😂 xx

Hmeeg · 03/02/2023 11:59

@MrsSB2023 after this experience I wouldn't test until AF is late, but I can't talk because I'm literally incapable of doing that, which is why I'm in this awful tense waiting now until Tuesday xxx

Hmeeg · 03/02/2023 11:57

It just feels so cruel to get what looks like such a clear positive. I got a 2 pack of frer and I did one today which was negative but I was so impatient after they arrived that it was only a 2 hr hold at 10dpo and it was negative. So I've got the other one for tomorrow morning and I'm really hoping I have good news for you!!!!!!

Morning girls

@MrsSB2023 i usually start using my CB OPK on CD 10 - was advised this by the hospital when I was taking letrozole. I’m CD7 so can start them soon!

@Hmeeg sorry to hear that, I hope you’re doing okay xxx

MrsSB2023 · 02/02/2023 22:20

Hi girls

Hope everyone is ok.

@Hmeegsorry to see this, such a horrible feeling I hope you’re ok.

So I’m on CD 3 now and I’m going to use easy at home OPKs this month. When do I start testing? I’m normally 30 day cycle on average and ovulate around day 18

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 07:38

@Hmeeg oh no, that’s so annoying! 😞

Hmeeg · 02/02/2023 05:34

I think my gut was right and it was a dodgy test as today's looks like a bfn.... I'm only 9dpo today tho, so I'm getting some first response delivered and when they arrive I'll see what they say 😢

@Hmeeg that’s so exciting, I hope frer confirms! What symptoms did you have?

Hmeeg · 01/02/2023 20:49

It's just so early, and a cheap test which makes me think I shouldn't get my hopes up. I'll test again tomorrow and if I get another line I'll go buy a frer 😳😳😳

Sophie3839 · 01/02/2023 20:36

That looks like a decent line for 8dpo, can def see colour! Congratulations x

Mrsrobinsonx · 01/02/2023 20:31

@Hmeeg hmm that is very early but it’s not impossible! So fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Hmeeg · 01/02/2023 18:55

This is it out of the case

Hmeeg · 01/02/2023 18:53

So I bought some really cheap tests today, I'm 8DPO, and this line came up within 2 mins. I know I could have ovulated earlier, but due to CM, CP and ovulation pain, I was quite sure I'm 8dpo and that also ties in with my tracker apps. I should be happy but I'm so worried its a false positive....

Sophie3839 · 01/02/2023 17:54

Yer I know it was a bit tongue in cheek and I didn’t test from 7dpo but it really does feel like those two weeks are a year! I knew I was out once my ‘symptoms’ vanished and my cold appeared but then it’s still the long wait for AF and starting the next cycle 🤦‍♀️

roll on Feb and I hope we all get bfps not bfns 😊

Luna0905 · 01/02/2023 16:12

@Sophie3839 definitely, those two weeks are the worst!

sorry to hear about your BFN @Myperfectchaos - feb will be all of our months! ❤️

@Carysmatic would love to be tagged in the new thread once started xx

Mrsrobinsonx · 01/02/2023 14:39

@Sophie3839 Definitely, I’m actually a lot more chilled this month but still having the ‘oh I’m defo not pregnant this month’ then feeling depressed and annoyed it’s taking so long, then telling myself actually it’s too early and still might be but not wanting to get my hopes up. Absolute mind fuck 😆.

MrsSB2023 · 01/02/2023 14:13

Could’ve written this whole this myself @Sophie3839 xx

Sophie3839 · 01/02/2023 13:47

@Myperfectchaos it’s heartbreaking i know x

@Carysmatic me too please x

Myperfectchaos · 01/02/2023 13:32

@Sophie3839 that has been me to a T this month.

FRER this morning at 12dpo just Incase….BFN

@Carysmatic if you are starting a new thread tag me in it.

Sophie3839 · 01/02/2023 13:05

I hear you! 💐 it’s so tough and the tww feels like a year has passed only to find out you have to start over again.

Luna0905 · 01/02/2023 12:19

@Sophie3839 Too accurate! This has been my life for the last 3 years 😩 🙈 xx

Sophie3839 · 01/02/2023 12:13

Ttc seems to make pms ten times worse which makes you have symptoms and gives false hope! My thought process when trying to conceive -

1-7 dpo, hah I’m not testing early, waste of tests, silly to test …. Although I do have a few symptoms…. Think I’m hungry, oh these pregnancy hunger pangs, my right eye twitched and google told me that was someone else’s first sign eeek exciting, feel a bit tired…. Oh this early pregnancy fatigue is no fun.

8dpo - I’ll just do a test, it’ll be negative they are always negative this early. BFN… omg I’m not pregnant everyone gets a BFP at 8dpo I’m never testing early again!

9dpo- I’ll just test to be sure as I’m sure my symptoms are getting worse, feel a bit sicky and it can’t be last nights dodgy dinner that’s doing that…. BFN ….. we’ll I’m definitely pregnant so it’s just too early to test.

10dpo - oooooh so many symptoms I’ll just do a quick test to confirm…. BFN….. frantic googling to see others who got BFN at 10dpo and went in to get bfp phew - lots

11dpo- just a quick test again to confirm my….. BFN …. Queue further googling about frer accuracy and implantation, lots of reassuring stories about ladies who get bfps at 14dpo phew

12dpo- just drop a quick frer I know I shouldn’t as this month is costing a fortune in tests but it’ll al be worth it to see that…. BFN….. wtaf I’m never testing again …. That’s it

13dpo - quick quick I’ll just do a frer….. BFN …..light bleeding starts…. Google implantation bleeding. Bleeding gets heavier, google is now my friend could this be heavy implantation bleeding? Is that a thing? Note to self to do a post about it if it is and I still get a bfp…. AF arrives, quick google - can I still be pregnant and have a period, oh yes lots of stories, further hope.

finally admit that period and negative test is BFN….. drink wine 🍷 , next month repeat
