1DPO

Hi maybe it is completely normal to have a few days positive but it's the first time for me as last cycle never went positive at all. It was 3 days in a row and back to negative yesterday so I think I'm 1dpo, I think anyway! I like the idea of insomnia being an ovulation sign, hopefully a successful one too! It's my 1st wedding anniversary a week tomorrow and I love the idea of a bfp on my anniversary but know it will probably be too early and likely negative given the last few months but wouldn't that be exciting! How long have you both been trying and is this baby 1? TTC our first and been trying around 7 months but coming off the pill really mixed around my cycles!

@GHJ Hi! I think a longer surge is normal variation isn’t it? Or were the days not together? I have the opposite issue of quite short cycles so feel a bit like I’m permanently in the tww. And my bbt was low this morning, but i also had bad night’s sleep so I’m not sure it means anything. Can we just claim that insomnia is an ovulation sign?

Hi ladies hope you don't mind if I join in too. I think I'm 1dpo, cd20, have had really weird long cycles the last few. Last one I tested for 42 days and never got a positive opk, ended up being 60 day cycle in the end. This cycle went the other way and had 3 days of positives! So not sure 100% which day I ovulated or if I definitely did. Bbt sl higher this morning but had an awful night sleep so not very accurate. Nice to join you at the same stage of the tww (I know I definitely won't last 2 weeks before testing!)

@MrsL2019 Oh me too. Althougg I’ve convinced myself I was pregnant every one of the four cycles I’ve tracked.. But last cycle I do think something was going on although nothing ever really showed on a test. But I had my longest cycle in three years, all sorts of symptoms including a nosebleed, and my lh levels are very different this month. So it was hard not to be distracted. But regardless of what happens or doesn’t this time I don’t want an entire week of not knowing but not thinking about anything else!

Solidarity in holding off on early tests sounds good!

I don’t know but I need one! Last cycle was ridiculous, I started testing 8dpo and did basically nothing but stare at blank tests for 5 days and prod my breasts to see if they were sore... I wfh so the TWW is becoming a ridiculous productivity killer because I get so distracted.

This is my first month tracking bbt, so it’s probably going to be even worse, as I won’t even have a week of not thinking about it!

Ideally I guess I’d like to focus on healthy diet, plenty of sleep, daily gentle exercise, etc. Will try to hold off testing till at least 10dpo this time.

I’m ovulation day (pending bbt confirmation!), and I’m really not looking forward to two weeks of obsession. What’s your tww survival plan?
