TWW - 1DPO

Hiya 😊 last cycle I really enjoyed having a little TWW group on here so I thought I’d see if anyone else is near the start of their TWW now. I’m 1DPO today, third cycle of TTC baby number 2. I think we timed the sex well so let’s see! Anyone else?

6dpo today, still feeling a bit crampy, especially low on my right side.

Very tentative 9DPO update from me 😬🤞🏻

@Nic2908 sorry to hear. It is still early though so there's still plenty of time 🤞

Update: completely and utterly negative

I’m so sorry. It’s still so early, there’s still hope ❤

I’m 9dpo and just sat waiting for my freer to develop. I’m sure it’s going to be negative and it’s going to break my heart.

mangobe · 08/08/2024 23:02

@imy thank you! Honestly been staring at it all day thinking I'm sure I do see something!😂 I'll test again in the morning and keep you all posted

MrsKurz · 08/08/2024 21:49

Im doing surprisingly ok, but it’s only our first cycle for baby #2 so I’m not too stressed yet generally. It took us a few months with our first so I’m assuming it’ll be the same this time. I’ll be 4DPO tomorrow, but we’re also going away for the weekend so I have lots to keep me busy!

How's everyone doing? I'm 5DPO and starting to go a bit mad. It's wild to me how before ovulation I am so relaxed and don't even think about TTC, but then after ovulation I turn into a crazy lady. Going to test at 8DPO but it feels so far away! Heading to bed now, 6DPO tomorrow...

This is this mornings test (8DPO) convinced I see a vvvvvfl but DH says not so I'm guessing it's a no today 😅

Omg @mangobe i do see it too! Vvv faint but that would be appropriate for 8DPO. Maybe try an evening test?

5dpo.....been quite crampy this morning & feel nauseous this afternoon but it would be too early for that.

Also 5dpo and mildly crampy!

I have the European equivalent of easy at home - the packet says I can take it from 4 days before period is due, which would be around Friday next week, approx 11 dpo, so I’ll probably plan to test then

Sounds good! I think because I got a line so early with my daughter, it's hard to resist early testing!

Welcome @MrsKurz ! Which tests did you order? Some brands are definitely better than others. I think easy@ home and premom are the best cheapies. You could see a vvv faint line at 8DPO on those potentially. (there may also be other good ones! But that's what I see on here and I got a clear line at 9DPO with my daughter on an easy@ home)

I’m the same! Manage to put it out of my mind for the first part of my cycle, then the last 2 week it’s on my mind constantly.
I’ve been trying not to test until the day my period is due, just because I get a negative, then feel heartbroken, then get hopeful again, then another negative - rinse and repeat until AF arrives….last cycle I had loads of symptoms, was convinced it had worked and then not even a sniff of a line!

Show quote history

Aw fair enough, I do know what you mean with getting hopeful between tests! I think for me I can get it out of my mind much quicker if I test early. I can kid myself and be hopeful from 8DPO - 10DPO but if I don't get a positive on 11DPO I just stop testing and count myself out. Maybe after a few more months of trying I'll drop the early testing!

@narwhalsarereal welcome to you too! When do you plan on testing?

I'm going to wait till AF is due which is the 18th.

I am also 3DPO! Pre ovulation I barely think about TTC, but as soon as I get to 1DPO it's all I can think about and time stands still! When will you test?

Good luckm@Cakeisafoodgroup how are you feeling? What cycle are you on? Have you got any children already?

Thank you ❤️

I’m 35, cycle 8/9 (started in December but not seriously until January). I have 2 DC aged 10 and 7 from a previous marriage - swing between feeling hopeful and then hopeless!

Can I join? I’m 1 DPO or 2 DPO, I had a peak over an afternoon and the next morning on OPKs so not sure. We managed to DTD ON O-3, O-1 and O+1 - we missed O day due to my husband being sick (although like I mentioned I’m not 100% sure if ovulation was yesterday or today). we’d planned to do the 3 days in a row but oh well! Just because that’s what worked last time.

i ordered some of the cheap dip pregnancy tests - what day do you all reckon you’d start testing with those? I don’t want to test too early and waste them, but I also want to know haha.

Hi @imy & @Cakeisafoodgroup I'm also 3DPO TTC first baby. This is about our 7th cycle I think, no hint of a BFP yet over this time
