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.

If you pop in first response early they come out on amazon but I do agree with the others the early boots are brilliant as well. Fingers crossed you get your bfp soon 🤞

8 dpo today and I feel normal lmao 🤣 oh well all the months I've been sympton Spotting this is the first one I actually feel normal 🙈

Same here! 🤣 No symptoms or implantation bleeding / cramping yet. Patiently waiting to feel something 😉

@naggy095 What DPO are you? 😊 Good luck for tomorrow!

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Hoping AF doesn't arrive tomorrow for you! 🙏🏻

Hi I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend ☺️
So we got home this evening and told myself I was going to wait till tomorrow morning to test with fmu, but I have no patience 😂 tested about half an hour ago and another bfn. AF due around Wednesday/Thursday so im going to test with my last FRER tomorrow morning and if negative again I'll stop and just wait for my period to arrive.
How's everyone else feeling?

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 29/05/2023 19:59

That could be a good sign @ddaisynner I've seen a few people say the month they got their bfp was the month they had no symptoms.

AF due tomorrow and feels very much imminent, but we'll see.

Boots early detection work just as good I find @winterbabyrose

@LeopardLover I caved and did a test this morning, although realised I bought the wrong ones! Meant to buy the early FRER and just bought FRRR the rapid ones instead. Did a test anyway and was BFN.

Anyone in the UK know where you can buy FRER from? Haven seen them in any shops and the FR ones I ordered on Amazon weren't the early ones 🧐

Boots early tests are your best bet! I got my FRERs from Amazon but they are awful for indents at the moment. The Boots once are supposed to be great.

Hope everyone is all good 🥰

10dpo today and I'm convinced we've fallen this month. Either that or I'm getting ill haha🙃 I am EXHAUSTED, fell asleep on the sofa about 3pm today and I never do that. Also a bit crampy, headachey and I snapped at poor DH this morning over literally nothing bless him. My mood swings are awful 🙃

Holding out until at least 12dpo to test🤞🏻

Eeeek! These are classic pregnancy symptoms. Crossing all my fingers and toes for you! Well done for not testing early. If you feel awful tomorrow, maybe wee on a FRER if you have one 🤣

That's great news @Hellsbells89, so happy for you ☺️

Just done another test with fmu and still start white negative. I think I'll try to hold off on more testing unless AF is late. Due Tuesday so I'll test Wednesday fmu if no AF by then.

@Hellsbells89 Oh that's good to hear and so pleased you can see progression! Hurrah! 💜

Hellsbells89 · 26/05/2023 20:13

@LeopardLover the easy @ home are the ones I have and have always been the best at early detection for me.

I did another cheaply test this morning and still positive and a stronger line. Will probably just keep going now daily to keep my mind at ease. I'm writing the DPO on them too so I can see progression.

@LeopardLover I would defo find out, I'm to curious to leave it to the last minute c": I love the idea to stay team green but I know I couldn't do it I'm so impatient and I just love buying clothes 🙈🙈

I didn't realise that's what green meant at baby showers 🤣 makes sense! I'm normally the same but as it'll probably be my last so I might keep an element of surprise. I hear you. My toddler's wardrobe is ridiculous whereas I'm living in old clothes 🤣

Amy95 · 26/05/2023 17:35

Hope you all have a lovely weekend ladies 😘 I cannot wait to have no alarm in the morning and off work till Tuesday 🙌

@ddaisynner Omgosh, that's so funny! And a good reminder every pregnancy is different. So will you find out gender this time? I think I want a surprise! My attic is also RAMMED with clothes 🤣

Hope everyone is doing well!

8dpo today. Got a slight period pain like twinge last night low down on my left hand side. Was over in a few minutes and nothing since. I've got a bit of a headache and feel super tired today, almost like a hungover type feeling.

Not sure if it means anything either but according to my fitbit my RHR has creeped up to 67 (usually around 62) and my body temperature has been consistently above my baseline temp for the past 6 days.

They are probably all coincidence but it is hard not to symptom spot!

My RHR rising on my fitbit was my first sign when u fell pregnant with my son! Fingers crossed!!

ddaisynner · 26/05/2023 14:31

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess I do enjoy the temping it's nice to see the levels going up and also comparing the pattern with each month I also tell myself I'm not allowed to test until I see that implantation dip so it keeps me going and not wasting tests too early c":

I do like theories and learning about cycles c: there's a theory that hcg rises faster in Female fetuses so you get an earlier bfp compared to a boy fetus. Though to me a bfp is a bfp no matter when it comes.

@LeopardLover totally! My first boy no sickness what so ever I think maybe I was sick less than 5 times the whole pregnancy but my second oh it was so bad. I was super shocked when they pointed out the turtle head on the scan screen lmao 🤣 I even started buying pink because I was so sure 🤣 luckily I didn't get Gender disappointment and told myself I shouldn't get ahead of myself before scans. So this time told myself I'm lot allowed to go shopping until after 20 weeks 🤣🙈 unless it's Neutral of course. Though I have a hoard of boy clothes in my attic so I don't really need to go shopping anyway if I'm blessed with another boy c;

@winterbabyrose @naggy095 that sounds super promising to you both that could be implantation 🤞🤞🤞 hopefully bfp in a few days for you both 🌸💙

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 26/05/2023 13:54

Yep @LeopardLover. They're called clear and simple. The Early detection ones are 10mui sensitivity, that's what I'm using

Amazing, thank you!! I have a pack of FRERs and some easy @ home cheapies but I'd like to add some more to my collection 😅

@ddaisynner omgosh, no way! I'd be convinced it was a girl if I had sickness because I didn't have any with my son 😅

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Definitely still early days! £1 tests sound perfect though - did you say they are from Savers? What cycle is this for you? I think taking an intital chill approach is a good move!

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 26/05/2023 13:09

@naggy095 you can cramp with AF and if you're pregnant, so definitely not out yet.

Enjoy your time away and fingers crossed for a bfp when you return

OP posts:
naggy095 · 26/05/2023 12:40

9dpo and also caved and did a test, stark white here too. We're going away this evening and I'm purposely going to leave tests at home so I have to wait till I'm back to test again. Had lots of period cramping this morning though so think I'm out this month

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 26/05/2023 10:27

Start white negative as expected 😅 at least I can get on with my day now and stop thinking about it for a day or two.

8dpo @Hellsbells89 only testing so early because I had a tiny dot of pink spotting just after midnight a couple of days ago that COULD have been implantation. Will try to have the willpower to hold off until Sunday fmu but might cave tomorrow morning 😅 tests I'm using are only £1 each and AF is due Tuesday so I'm not in danger if bankrupting myself at least

Yeah @Amy95 I usually spend the first week all excited and hopeful then start to come down about half way through. It's kinda like a drug high with the come down and all.

Ooo how exciting @ddaisynner. How do you find the temping? I'd love to start if unsuccessful this cycle but I don't think it would be much help for me as my sleeping patterns are all over the place (I'm a freelancer who works from home and sometimes have international clients and flip my sleeping pattern almost upside down for a while).

I think if I'm not pregnant by cycle 6, I might have to try and force a proper routine so I can give it a go.
