1DPO and starting the TWW - who's with me?

Third cycle ttc #1, 2nd cycle using opks.

Ovulated yesterday (peak on Wednesday) and dtd Wednesday night.

I've got 23-25 day cycles and seem to have a 11 day luteal phase, so due on the 30th.

Anyone else around the same dpo wanting to ride the tww out together?

Hoping to hold off on testing until I'm 10dpo at the earliest, but we'll see.

Gearing up for the symptom spotting to begin in a week or so, even though I know I shouldn't.

Think I am probably out for this month. 11dpo today and absolutely stark white on all tests, even the early Boots and CB ones this morning. AF is due Monday, so would have expected to even see a hint of a line by now, but nothing!

@Pastaf0rbreakfast I'm due Sunday too and had a BFN today! I also know what you mean about symptom spotting and over thinking this cycle. It's a good idea to take a chilled month I think. I want one more crazy OPK month and then it'll be chill again. Sending love xx

Pastaf0rbreakfast · 31/05/2023 16:24

Congratulations @ddaisynner was it you doing gender swaying? Hope that worked too if so!

Sorry to hear AF has arrived @XenaTheWarriorPrincess enjoy relaxing with a drink or two over the next few days.

So I looked back over my premom OPK tests and realised I didn’t test on CD15/16, then got a positive OPK on CD17 so I could be anything from 9-11dpo, that prompted me to do a boots early detection today which was BFN. AF not due until Sunday but I’m taking that BFN as me being out this cycle, I don’t think I can mentally cope with hope for the next few days, so I’d rather just take the BFN as fact, even though it is very likely an unreliable test!

I will probably test on Saturday to be sure but I’ve found symptom spotting quite stressful this month and think I might not even OPK next month (might change my mind!). I fell pregnant on a month of not tracking before so I think I’ll focus on a healthy lifestyle and regular DTD and see how I go.

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Ugh, sorry! But definitely enjoy your games night. I think I'll be joining you in a few days. March babies will be great tbh 😉 x

winterbabyrose · 31/05/2023 14:27

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Sorry to hear about AF, sending you baby dust for next cycle! x

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 31/05/2023 14:21

AF has arrived. Onto cycle 3!

Can finally relax a bit now and have some drinks tonight ❤️

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess oh wow! Monday is quite the wait. You could probably but a digital then 🤣 fingers crossed!

naggy095 · 31/05/2023 11:47

@ddaisynner aw congratulations! Such a clear line! 🥰

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 31/05/2023 11:45

Only issue is I've run out now @LeopardLover, and not gonna be able to get more til Monday so if AF doesn't come I'm in for a hell of a wait to test.

LeopardLover · 31/05/2023 11:29

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Here's me thinking you have a will of Iron 😉 cheapie tests don't really count though!

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 31/05/2023 11:24

Congrats @ddaisynner that's wonderful news. Great line for 10dpo too. How exciting ☺️

I've everything crossed for you that this is a sticky little bean!

The digital are usually 25miu and the easy at home are 10miu, so you'll need to wait a few days for a digital to register.

I was a crazy woman last cycle @LeopardLover, must have done about 20 tests in total 😅 done much better this time, think my count is at 5 so far.

ddaisynner · 31/05/2023 11:21

Aww thank you both I'm absolutely shocked 🙈 I probably won't test now until af is late and just to get a digital confirmation. Ahh. 🤞🤞 everyone gets their Feb babies this cycle 💛

Hellsbells89 · 31/05/2023 11:17

ddaisynner · 31/05/2023 11:14

I caved 🥺🥺 10dpo and I have two lines! Ah I hope this is a sticky bean. I got excited and used my digital 🙈 which came up as not pregnant. I slapped myself for using it before af day 😅 but I'm just feeling a bit giddy right now still absolutely no symptons but when I went to kickboxing last night it was the first time I felt nauseous while working out.

Eeek congratulations 🥰 definitely a good positive line too. Hehe easily done with the digital. Keep to the cheapy ones for now if you need the reassurance

LeopardLover · 31/05/2023 11:15

@ddaisynner Eeeek! That line is CLEAR. Congratulations 😁 I find those digital tests aren't very sensitive so you might need to wait a bit longer.

Sooooo exciting!!! Xx

LeopardLover · 31/05/2023 11:05

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Haha I know, I'm usually really good but this cycle has felt so boring! So I caved 🤣

Still hoping no AF arrives! But games night sounds super fun 😍

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 31/05/2023 11:00

Always good to wait until AF is late to test @LeopardLover , I tell myself I will then I cave 😅

Sorry to hear that @naggy095 , new cycle, new chance. Hopefully the juice and pree seed help you get your bfp next month.

It can take up to a week to show on a test after implantation @winterbabyrose , so not out yet.

My boobs have stopped hurting now, which usually happens day of AF, so I'm just waiting for the bleeding to start. Hoping it's before 6pm as we're doing a games night later and really would rather not come on mid board game 😅

LeopardLover · 31/05/2023 09:19

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Eeeek! Fingers crossed for you!

@naggy095 Sorry you're out 😔 Love your plan though! I might stock up on some juice too. I use Conceive Plus but it's not the best.

@winterbabyrose There is a chance you implanted late. Especially with all those symptoms!

I have lots of cheapies kicking around so got a BFN at 10DPO 😅 I won't test again unless AF is late but my gut tells me I'm out this month as I've had no symptoms. I'm totally fine though! Will improve my diet next month.

winterbabyrose · 31/05/2023 09:14

13dpo for me today. Been having so many symptoms, but still lots of BFN tests.

Nausea, headaches, exhaustion, cramps, and oh god I have had major heartburn the past two days and I never get heartburn. I've also come down with a horrible cold. I literally have so many 'symptoms' and yet still stark white BFNs.

AF due on Monday (I ovulated early this month I think so may come earlier than that as my cycles are usually bang on 28 days).

naggy095 · 31/05/2023 08:41

AF arrived this morning, going to track my BBT this cycle so I did my first one this morning when I woke up.
Bought loads of pomegranate juice and decaf tea and coffee for this new cycle. Also going to buy pre seed lube as I noticed I didn't have any egg white or watery CM last cycle so hopefully that'll help too 🤞🏼

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 31/05/2023 03:29

Fell asleep at like 8pm and just woke up a while ago 🤦‍♀️ gonna be knackered later 😅

No blood as of yet. It's technically possible that what happened on 6dpo (tiny spot of blood) was totally unrelated and I implanted later, so could be pregnant, but it's also possible that I ovulated later than thought after my peak, so am actually due on today.

Couldn't resist doing a test, stark white negative on a 10mui, so I guess I'll just wait and see if AF arrives today.

Fab news @Hellsbells89 , massive congrats and wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months ☺️

Keep us updated @BudgetBuster , wishing you luck.

Hope AF doesn’t show for you @XenaTheWarriorPrincess

Thanks @LeopardLover glad I had the mind not to waste an expensive test.

I had decided to stop symptom spotting after bfn this morning but my dizziness/lightheadedness has continued most of today. This afternoon I was so tired, I took a nap with DS. Woke up with heartburn. Then, this evening, my gums have been sore and bleeding randomly after eating.

Trying to forget about symptoms and then my body throws all that at me. Still probably nothing but makes it hard to distract myself!

BudgetBuster · 30/05/2023 22:33

The line looks pretty white so I'm not confident it's even a faint positive. Will retest tomorrow with FMU to be sure. And thank you very much @LeopardLover

LeopardLover · 30/05/2023 22:30

@BudgetBuster Eeek, are you sure that's an indent? I've never used them before but I've read lots of threads where women swear they aren't known for indents!

Good luck tomorrow!

BudgetBuster · 30/05/2023 20:45

It isn't until tomorrow morning. I caved today and tested on a boots test, but it was at like 7pm and I think I'm only about 9dpo. Got an indent which is even more annoying than a stark BFN haha
