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?

Hello, can I join? 3dpo as far as I can tell and willing away the days of the 2WW!

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?

I caved and tested 😂 6DPO. Convinced I can see a faint glow on the invert but I know it's still too early. I'm working in the office the next two days so probably won't be able to test which is a good thing 😂 might have another go on Friday

hows everyone else getting on?

Haha don't worry, this is a safe place and we've all done it! I will just give in and test at 8DPO because I just can't resist and I know people do get vv faint lines at 8DPO. It's so close for you!!

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

@mangobe this will be me from 5dpo haha! Can't help myself! Fingers crossed you see something when you next test 🤞

I am now thinking I haven't ovulated yet so I have a long wait ahead of me!

Hi all

@BrodieKD I have a 13 day luteal phase and I'm due on on the 16th. I'll test early though, probably at 8DPO on Sunday 😊

@BrodieKD good luck! I'm sure you've tried both but just to say that I much prefer the normal strips to the clearblue. I find it easier to actually see the line and see how it's getting darker or lighter, rather than the flashing/static smiley. (Plus they are so much cheaper!)

@imy it's only my second month of tracking so I'm not sure. I've done another test tonight and it's still flashing so going with it. I'll keep you posted!

Hi all 😊

Sorry I posted this and then ran! I am really stressed at work at the mo - honestly worried it might affect my ability to get pregnant but I did some googling and the evidence around stress is fairly inconclusive. My husband also says worrying about it isn't going to help which is a good point!!

Welcome @mangobe I'm sorry to hear about your chemical. Only 8 days to go before you can test!

Welcome back @Nic2908 !! Nice to have you again! I actually peaked quite suddenly this month too. Last month I had two peaks and had a really dark line for ages, so I was quite pleased that it was all very straightforward this month!

That's weird @BrodieKD ! I have no experience of that personally. Are your cycles normally the same each month?

The clearblue sticks are now back to flashing smiles 🤷🏻‍♀️

BrodieKD · 04/08/2024 16:05

I'm on cycle 2 for my 2nd x

BrodieKD · 04/08/2024 16:04

Hello - I'm 1dpo - I got my peak on a clearblue digital on cd8 which is a week early. Couldn't dtd on day we had peak but hoping we covered it yday and today. I'm not feeling hopeful though.
Has anyone had any experience on having early ovulation?
I only finished my period on Wednesday 🙈
Would love to have some 2ww buddies!

Nic2908 · 04/08/2024 15:12

@imy will you have me back 🤣🤣 I’m 4 dpo I think…. I literally had a positive opk for 3 hours which has never happened before. I’ve continued to test but they are getting lighter and lighter so it must have been right.

mangobe · 04/08/2024 13:41

Hey, I'm currently about 4DPO and also on cycle 3 of TTC #2! Had a chemical my first cycle but been on holiday this cycle so been trying to take it without ovulation testing etc. Hoping to try wait it out until 13DPO to do a pregnancy test 😬🤞🏻
