Think I'm now in my TWW at 1DPO!
Anyone care to join me? 😁
I'm on 1st cycle TTC DC1 💕 Not done anything to track except apps this time but fairly convinced my Flo app was pretty accurate so 🤞

Phew I dreamt I came on lol but this looks good. Added yesterday's and today from same time. Man this is a lot more stressful this time, last time I was like woo am pregnant and didn't even question anything 🙈 but this does look like good progression. Looking forward to knowing I don't need to keep testing lol.

I remember my back and boobs were the worst when I was pregnant in December, it's the hormone 'relaxin' ironically haha.

Yea I know it does double every 48 hours so I tell myself that morning and night should 👀 be a quarter of a difference 🙈 but this daily progression is calming my nerves 😁

I mean the HCG is only meant to double like every 48 hours or something isn't it so I guess progression might get a little less obvious day to day at some point. Haha bless you! My boobs have been a tiny bit sore but not too bad, and my back has been hurting the last couple of days.
Let me know how it is this morning!

Yea I showed my wife the tests yesterday and this morning. This evenings is about the same as this mornings but I drank a load of water and a decaf tea before doing it so could just be too diluted, as long as each day they get a touch darker I am happy. We are both cautiously optimistic 🥰 my back and boobs are soooo sore lol

Hotmalibu94 · 20/10/2023 15:54

I'm so happy for you 😁 eeek yeah not far behind at all!
I did a couple of tests this morning and had nice dark lines so I'm feeling positive 🤞 have you told your partner?

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 20/10/2023 14:32

They are, I'm soooo happy. The chemicals always seemed to remain fainter than this and not progress at all so that makes me feel much more confident. I have a good gut feeling with this, though still terrified after last time. What a strange range of emotions haha. I think I'm literally a week behind you 😁

Hotmalibu94 · 20/10/2023 13:51

Yayyyyyy congratulations 💕 that's so clear ❤️ the lines are progressing so nicely!

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 20/10/2023 13:17

I tested this morning 🙈
and this evening too

There's no denying this is there 🥴😭🌈

My first TWW 🙈
Hotmalibu94 · 20/10/2023 08:14

Definitely does! Are you testing again this morning or waiting until the evening? 😅

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 22:43

I probably shouldn't compare how they look when dried but tonights does look darker than this mornings ... Eeee I'm trying hard not to get too excited but my chemicals tend to remain fainter than this 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Wooo we will be baby twins haha

My first TWW 🙈
Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 22:13

@DarkCrystal85 oh yeah cramping is definitely normal isn't it. I cramped loads the night before my BFP 😂 eeeeek Im so excited for you!

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 20:36

My boobs are the main thing. They are so heavy and sore. My back too and the odd cramp it feels like AF could start any day but I panicked for the first few weeks after finding out in December as felt like period pain but it's all normal. I'm just hoping I keep getting darker and darker tests 🤞 I feel a bit anxious since seeing the lines haha I think after all the chemicals and the big loss am nervous to get excited but will keep updated with how they progress , I'm already checking in the loo every 5 mins that I'm not bleeding already 😶 just keeping absolutely everything crossed. My sticks were like this till day 13/14 last time so that's sooo strange haha. It's definitely a line and it's definitely there so I will take solace in that 💕

Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 20:17

How are you feeling?

OP posts:
Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 20:17

Omg that's definitely a line 😍 eeeeek!

Another of it

My first TWW 🙈
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 20:04

So this is 3 mins ago at bottom and this mornings above it... 😶

My first TWW 🙈
Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 14:04

I'm excited for this evening then 😂
I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you! 🤞
I think that definitely helps! I was more relaxed this month and here we are 😂 I think distractions definitely help!

I usually do just test in the evenings... I decided to try this morning with 2nd pee of the day and wasn't expecting much so I was quite shocked after that, as soon as it went past that line it was there so I sat and watched it and took pic about 3 min mark. I probably wouldn't have tested if last night was stark negative but I knew something was there last night and I can't honestly blame dud tests when they been negative till now and now they getting darker. I will probably test tonight and continue that way cos I'm an addict in usual months but now there's something appearing i am feeling worse haha. I'm just keeping fingers crossed whatever is happening it sticks and stays put until at least 26 weeks when modern medicine can do something... Would hope it to remain until all is well and from 34 weeks onwards. Cos of my spinal issue they didn't want me to get to full term last time and I'm unable to have epidural so natural induction was arranged for 3.5 before due date. This due date would be 29th June so very close to you 😁😁😁 I'll keep you updated and so much luck sent to both of us that everything is smooth and that this baby sticks. I swear I felt it implanting other night and the following morning had the smallest amount of blood when I wiped but that was it so perhaps that was implantation. Ooo I'm off to clean the house while child is at nursery and wife has gone to see her friend. It's been such a busy month I wonder if being poorly and mind being occupied has helped haha. I saw this as I know I'm gonna be anxious as heck and it helped

My first TWW 🙈
Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 12:34

Going from first day of period I think it's 22nd June, but natural cycles thinks more like 26th :)
Ahhhh exciting! Are you testing again this evening? I forgot you test then too don't you? 😁
Awww may baby 💕

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 12:29

It is hehe. I didn't need to edit this at all. I think until I see some good strong lines I won't get to excited... Or anxious haha. Already looked and due date would be end of June but as before I'd be induced around 4 weeks early so this will be a may baby eeeee. When is yours due? Yes I have 17 tests left and will get 2 of the proper plastic ones to take after officially late, my app says I'm due on in 2 days but I believe it to be more 4 days x hehe

Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 12:22

Oohhhhhhhh that's definitely there!! I can't wait for tomorrow for you to test again now 🤣
Definitely can't harm can it 🤞

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 11:24

Aw I was taking pregnacare with mine and I'm so sure everything will be fine 😁
I'm hoping I'm not far behind you... I did a test this morning and considering it's less than 12 hours since my last test I'm quite happy that there is a faint but more obvious line, with colour and appeared about 30 seconds after doing the test... I haven't edited it but still won't get excited till I see progression. I was told to take 75mg of aspirin when I get a positive so I think I'll start that today, can't do much harm but could probably help if I am. What do you think?

Hotmalibu94 · 19/10/2023 08:22

@DarkCrystal85 oh its faint but I kinda see what you mean! Eeek fingers crossed for you that it progresses 🤞
I'm taking b50 which has all the b vitamins in and pregnacare so hopefully all covered 😁 very anxious still but trying to go with it 🙌

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 19/10/2023 00:36

I didn't manage to wait till at least 11dpo like I told myself I would 🙈 I tested yesterday bfn and today which isn't a line but it's not not a line... If that makes sense. It's like a shadow 🥴 I thought it was a dud test but next also has a bit of a shadow of a line come up in time, I am 8dpo (well 9 now as gone midnight but...) So I'm gonna just test each evening now lol

Oh I know it is such a happy anxious time, the hard part is done though, it's a relief when the tracking and timing isn't necessary anymore. I am sure everything will be absolutely fine. Are you taking anything? Xx

Pic of random not line line haha

My first TWW 🙈
Hotmalibu94 · 16/10/2023 15:22

@DarkCrystal85 fingers crossed for you when you do test 🤞
Omg that's so cool 😂 love that!

Yeah the anxiety is definitely real. Just hope it all goes smoothly 🤞

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 16/10/2023 14:43

I'll give it my best shot to wait till then 🙈
Aw wow I'm so happy for you, and yes I totally get the initial wooo then the omg omg anxiety haha I was terrified when I got my double lines each time but try enjoy these first few weeks before any intense symptoms if you get them x

Well a few weeks ago I took some pics of a pink sky and had no idea what it was, put the pic into community page on FB and then got a message last week from BBC asking if they could use my pic to which I was like yeah that's fine, then after speaking to the woman doing it explained what I do and that I'd been looking through telescope so she decided she needed to actually record me and my scope for the fun piece 😂 all feels very very surreal now haha x
