TWW 1dpo today - who's with me?

Morning ladies! Another BFN this morning 🙁

I’ll do another test tomorrow and if that’s negative I’ll stop.

perhaps not my month

@Carysmatic symptoms subsiding for you that was meant to say!

@Carysmatic I’m so scared to do another test! Even though AF hasn’t showed yet and I feel pg it’s just the thought of doing a test and getting a BFN when I’ve had a few lines on tests and got my hopes up!
I’ve had no cramps today but this evening I’ve had weird pains down my legs and around my lower back. I was driving and suddenly felt like I had blood in my mouth, such a strong metallic taste it freaked me out a bit actually! Never had that before.
I really hope symptoms subsiding is a good sign fingers crossed 🤞🏼 ☺️

@Luna0905 sorry to hear that, glad you’re ok ish I’ve been thinking of you. Hopefully next month will be your month xxxx

Sorry I’ve been quiet today, I’m okay as I can be, thanks to those for asking 😘 it’s definitely AF as it got heavier throughout the day yesterday. Still have bad cramping too, I’m hoping it eases tomorrow

@MrsSB2023 i’m not that sure I tested that early, I think I must have ovulated earlier and so I only tested 2 days early. I have pcos so never quite sure what is going on with my cycle. I was also travelling long haul and I know this always messes up it’s my cycle.
Keep us updated on your line progression 🤞🏼🤞🏼

good luck to everyone else with BFPs xxx

Enjoy your holiday @Stephla84 you’re very early on so probably wouldn’t even pick up yet! Have a fab time xx

Fingers xd you get a holiday bfp 🥰

Well I did my first cheapie test this morning also, it’s a very clear negative! As expected 🤦🏻‍♀️ my app says I’m 8dpo but I’m sure I ovulated earlier, but maybe I didn’t! I’ve still got cramps although this morning they are much like AF cramps to be fair. Crying at the news ( but the state of the world at the moment is there any wonder 😂). Knocked my knee on the bed and my reaction was quite dramatic with tears sooooo….! Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m off on holiday tomorrow and I’ve decided now just to wait until (or if) my AF arrives which will be this Saturday while I’m away! So lots of luck to you guys, I really hope you get your BFP’s this week 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Myperfectchaos I had a positive OPK at 7DPO and haven’t retested. Apparently you can get an LH surge around implantation BUT you can also get one before AF is due so not very helpful! I’d advise against it because it just messes with your head I think. I just had an urge to pee on some on something 😂

Hi everyone

Welcome to the newbies.

@Carysmatic don’t give up hope it’s still very early!
So after reading about evap lines on FRERs all day yesterday I decided to do an experiment 😂 I used a FRER from the same packet with just tap water and it was stark white BFN with no indent/evap. So then I stupidly done a cheapie last night at midnight when I’d drank about 10 cups of tea and had a very faint line (can’t pick it up on camera really).
This morning I made myself have a wee quickly so I couldn’t test with FMU only because I’m driving myself mad looking at the tests and googling indent lines. I’ve had 3 lines on 3 different brands now, surely they can’t all be evap lines but I’m still doubting them haha!
I’m going to wait until Wednesday now when AF is actually due and do a FRER with FMU. That way there’s no guess work and I’m not driving myself mad!
Cramps have stopped again this morning, same as yesterday. Woke up feeling rough with a head cold which I knew was coming because I felt so rough yesterday.
Fingers crossed AF stays away for us all xx

welcome @babyfever88 it’s so hard to wait for testing :( and symptom spotting is the worst 🙈

found an article about testing I thought was interesting www.verywellfamily.com/when-is-the-best-time-to-take-an-early-pregnancy-test-1960163

looks like 6 days before period only 25% chance of positive even 4 days before only 42% so less than half! Hopefully this gives hope to some people who have had bfns early on x

Hey,
I've been following this thread for a while. Struggling with the 2ww - it's so hard! This will be 6th month trying. 9dpo today. Feel like everyone around me is announcing pregnancies it's draining! Feel like I've been symptom spotting waaaay more this month!
Just did a cheap test and BFN but aware it can just be too early. I'm not feeling too positive seeing as it's not happened so far.
Just wanted to join for a bit of solidarity. Baby dust to you all x

Oh no :( hopefully still just a bit early ❤️
hope the tonsillitis is better x

@MrsSB2023 aw I’m so excited for u. When u peed on opks did u notice any changes?

I just tested on a FMU just using a cheapy and a BFN I’m 9dpo so not overly stressing yet.

im so tired but when I do fall asleep I get vidid dream and wake myself up! Was a really broken sleep last night!

@Carysmatic I just tested too......negative as well on a clear blue one today my Af is due no sign which is good and I usually have spotting one day before and I haven't I'm hoping I don't have enough hcg 🙏🙏

@Peachyplumm This is actually my first cycle off the pill, so I can’t remember what ovulation feels like! I know they say to allow a proper cycle before TTC, but we thought yolo. Will give it a crack this month and then have a couple of months off before we travel in April. Ideally would want to be finished the worst of the morning sickness by the time we go. So if it doesn’t happen this month, it’s ok - we’ll start again in April. But I do love the thought of a late Oct/Early Nov baby!

@LittleMiss2023 Aww omg ovulation buddies! 🥺 hahah. It’s good to meet someone else who’s like totally new to all this! I also had like 4 days of flashing smilies before my static one. I have no idea what to expect and part of me is like ‘is this really happening?’ Because I don’t have any symptoms of ovulation really! If I hadn’t tracked it I’d honestly never have known. Do you get symptoms when it comes? I think I had some cramps a few days ago but that was when it was still flashing. Otherwise I mostly just get pre-af symptoms later on!

Hi @Peachyplumm - I’m in the same boat as you! This is cycle #1 trying to conceive #1! I’ve had the flashy smileys all week and finally got my static yesterday afternoon (28th) so assuming I’m ovulating today and then tomorrow (30th) will be 1DPO. We only DTD twice, on the 25th and 29th, so fingers crossed it’s enough!

Hi ladies, I hope it’s okay to join in. I got my peak static smiley today so I’ll be 1dpo tomorrow. Early days! It’s my first time using the digital clear blue test successfully (it’s the purple one that detects both hormones).

I have mild pcos but main symptom is irregular periods so I never know when I’m ovulating or if I’m even ovulating. I decided to just do tests with IC and CB all this month to see for the hell of it and was really surprised that I am ovulating! (CD 23).

Me and my partner dtd yesterday a day before ovulation. Not sure if we will be able to again but I kept my legs up for a long time after 😂

it’s my 2nd cycle ttc for baby #1! Hope it goes well 🥺

Nooo haha weirdly my urge to test has totally gone! Symptoms all went when I got this cold 🥶 rationally I knew 3dpo was too soon to get symptoms but hey 🙃

I actually made myself 2 days late one month as I thought I was pregnant and stressed so much over it 😂

might do one next week after I went out and bought so many tests 🤦‍♀️ Feel silly now!

Ooh @Sophie3839 are you testing tomorrow?
