The TWW begins - testing 11/12 Feb.

Hi all

I’ve commented on a few threads but thought I would start a new one for anyone who may have ovulated over the weekend and now starting the TWW? Officially 1DPO today.

This is our first cycle trying to conceive #1. I came off the pill a few weeks ago, had my normal withdrawl bleed. Had flashing smileys last week with the static appearing on Saturday. I will assume I ovulated yesterday as I had a fair few cramps.

Anyone else in the same boat?

I’m not exercising, just taking it easy.

Does anyone know how high HCG is day after implantation? Would it be detectable by FRER?

Cally1980 · 05/02/2023 22:34

Oh! I’m 9dpo, still ovulating regularly at 42, had all kinds of tests done and everything is good apparently 🙄

Cally1980 · 05/02/2023 22:33

Hey everyone,

joining in with the awful wait. I’m 42 so chances are very low, dh also has low count and low motility. We’re about to start ivf but though we’d try one last month (15 months now) for both of our first.
I feel absolutely nothing different from usual. I’ve felt every symptom going over the past 15 months and never had a bfp.
I have no idea what to expect!

It's ok to test early if it just takes your mind off it a little bit until you test again.

I've stopped running in case im going to be implanting soon, I've seen online about reducing hiit/heavy cardio. Im doing the elliptical at the gym, yoga classes and long dog walks everyday. Partially doing this to take my mind off it in all honesty!

Mushroo · 05/02/2023 21:55

@LittleMiss2023 im carrying on as normal exercise wise. I’m part way though couch to 5k with a running club and I go to the gym once a week, plus yoga. The only thing is not pushing myself quite as much with weights.

@Purpleflowers17 i agree with @Emmamoo89 its almost spot on for implantation bleeding. Here’s hoping it’s a good sign!

LittleMiss2023 · 05/02/2023 20:52

Is anyone else continuing to exercise?

I’m in this limbo now where I’m at the gym thinking ‘Should be careful just incase’ but then also thinking ‘But if you’re not, don’t want to waste the week’. Stupid I know, but can’t help it. I ended up leaving halfway through my cardio class this morning because I started feeling some cramps, so thought just in case, better go!

Fuck no. My only exercise is walking to and from work

I’ve had pink bleeding tonight when I wipe. 9DPO is that too late for implantation bleeding? Feels too early for AF but don’t want to get my hopes up. How long after implantation are you meant to wait to test?

No it's the perfect time for implantation bleeding. Test in 3 days x

I'd continue your normal exercise but maybe take a break when cramps hit-make sure you're super hydrated too as that makes cramps worse.

I'm really cramp tonight, like a gas and period cramps. Picked my LO up tonight and got like a muscle tear ache right across my lower stomach, like hip to hip. Got it yesterday too when I lifted my other little one above my head playing. Strange.

I know I'm early.

Just looked back at my diaries and although I have had my BFPs between CD24&26 with my previous pregnancies I have always been around 11-12DPO at that time. I'm only 8DPOdespite being on CD 25 now so just need to keep that in mind.

Sorry for being a downer tonight.

Thank you ladies x

OnNaturesCourse · 05/02/2023 17:51

Ladies. I caved. I tested. BNF. CD25 and 8DPO (same time roughly I had my previous BFPs) Annoyed at myself for testing now.

You are still early and every pregnancy is different 😊 x

Emmamoo89 · 05/02/2023 18:49

I'll be testing on Tuesday maybe. I might end up peeing my fmu and be like can't test now 🤣

Peachyplumm · 05/02/2023 18:46

Every pregnancy is different, it’s still super early. ❤️ And maybe you got your ovulation just slightly off this time. Test again on Tuesday with us all ☺️X

@LittleMiss2023 haha! I've definitely found walking a bit more of a slog. But I've also definitely been over exaggerating anything to could be a symptom. I saw on another thread that bleeding gums are sometimes, and I thought, 'maybe my gums were bleeding two days ago because I'm pregnant, not because of that seed that I over-flossed out' 😂

@Peachyplumm I think you should try one! I googled it and saw the toothpaste and urine test. Let us know how you get on!

Interesting! My gym were bleeding quite a bit the other night, but just assumed it was cause I hadn’t flossed for a couple of days! 😂

Ive just woken up for the day, and had quite dul cramping as I was falling asleep, almost to the point of getting a hot water bottle, but not quite there.

Mushroo · 05/02/2023 17:22

@madeofcodes it was okay actually! I had a Prosecco to start so that it was clear I was ‘drinking’, had about half of that, then had a Diet Coke on the go while literally sipping wine and a cocktail over the evening which I actually barely touched. In total probably had about 1 and a half drinks. I surprised myself making it to 2am!

a few people noticed I was drinking less than usual and I turned down all shots but I just said I was driving this morning.

Do you think you’ll test soon or are you planning to hold out?

madeofcodes · 05/02/2023 17:05

@Peachyplumm yep, definitely holding off for a couple of days before a clear blue, thank you!

@Mushroo how did the hen go? Did you manage to drink less on the sly?

Mushroo · 05/02/2023 14:28

@Peachyplumm good thanks! Made it through the hen party last night with very minimal drinking. Was still out till 2am so I’m shattered!

Im 6dpo so I think implantation should be around now-ish.

Limited symptoms, a few cramps yesterday and still have itchy nipples and they’re driving me mad! going to aim to test on Thursday I think, but I only have cheap strips so not sure how good they’ll be!

Your nausea is a great sign I think, best of luck!

Peachyplumm · 05/02/2023 13:56

@madeofcodes i was looking into getting digital too, I think you can take them 4 days before expected period. It would be nice to be told straight up pregnant or not pregnant! But if it’s too early and you get ‘not pregnant’ might be a bit upsetting! I think you should try to use digital closer to your period to avoid that. I’ve got some frers for Tuesday. x

@Mushroo @OnNaturesCourse how are you doing?

Peachyplumm · 05/02/2023 13:41

I just got hit by a big wave of nausea, I feel utterly sick. Kind of like when you’ve not eaten, except I’m not hungry and ate recently. I have had nausea as PMS once before though so can’t be sure if that’s a pg symptom or just run up to AF. Or maybe I ate something bad? I am as bloated as a whale so could be that

Hi ladies, 8dpo today. I had some mild cramps and backache yesterday, at some points it felt sharp. And since yesterday I’ve been super bloated and thirsty, today literally drinking like a fish. Not really noticed anything else. Still just one single sore nipple! 😂 I wanna try one of those homemade pregnancy tests for fun

Anyone else getting really low stomach aches when you do too much... Like house work, lifting another child ect. Seems to make mine more noticeable and very aware of my stomach ATM if that even makes sense 🙃

I went for a 45 min walk and found I started to dull cramp and my back started to hurt. Is that a sign or just because I was out for a walk? 😂

Morning! Hope you're all doing ok? 7dpo today. Husband came home with clear blue digitals so I'm not sure when to take those. No symptoms this morning. I had some creamy discharge yesterday (sorry about that). I saw some TikTok's yesterday and someone took tests at 7dpo and had faint lines sooooo...
