Getting through the TWW - 6DPO!

58 replies

Sunrays22 · 27/12/2024 14:43

Hello,

Just starting a thread to keep my mind busy and see if anyone else is in a similar boat!
TTC our second (DD was a complete accident and she's just turned 4 so it feels like the right time to try for a sibling).

This is our third cycle but first of trying using OPK's and got my peak on 21st with predicted ovulation on 22nd (I actually got my peak a few days earlier than my other tracking app predicted so thinking I've probably missed my ovulation the last two cycles). DTD on 21st and 23rd which I'm hoping will have been enough as Christmas has kept us busy and genuinely not had the energy 🤣

Anyone else currently making their way through the dreaded TWW? I'm trying not to symptom spot or test early this cycle as I definitely got caught up in it last month which was beyond disappointing when AF arrived.

Sending positive vibes to anyone else trying this cycle!

Can anyone see a faint line? Am I just being ridiculous Blush

I’m 9 dpo. According to Flo I was due on my period on the 28th so it keeps telling me to test but I ovulated later than the other few cycles I had. I only came off the pill in Sept so things may still be regulating. All other cycles were 24 days, I am not on cycle day 29 but fully expecting AF today at some point as all the symptoms are there.

chicke09 · 30/12/2024 12:14

Could I join please? Ttc #2 currently 6dpo. Will be due on Friday. The wait is the worst

Good luck everyone!!

I officially think I'm out, 10dpo today. Caved and did a digital and easy at home this morning, both were BFN. Period is due in 2 days.

On to cycle 6 ☹️ what cycle is everyone on?

Sorry to hear that :( hopefully next cycle will be your cycle. I’m on cycle 4 but think my period is on its way. Due in 3 days

I'm 9 or 10 dpo, and due AF in two days! It is so hard not to symptom spot isn't it? I did get some pink blood 4 days ago (thinking implantation bleeding) and i do have other pregnancy-like symptoms. i'm trying not to get addicted to testing again. Good luck everyone!!! x

ThisOrangeCat · 30/12/2024 10:11

8 dpo today. Had on/off sensations overnight in my lower abdomen - not prickly necessarily but it was like I was getting hot flushes down there, and then the odd slight stabbing pain. It might all be in my head, but hoping this could be some signs of implantation? Has anyone else ever experienced this?

MadeWithL0ve · 30/12/2024 09:56

I'm only 4dpo and Idk if it's cause I'm ill I have these symptoms or im over analyzing it all, I have sore nipples not overly sore but noriceab, lower back pain also cramping and heavy sensation in lower pelvis, far to early to be implantation so unsure what's going on

ThisOrangeCat · 29/12/2024 23:46

7 dpo here on my 5th cycle ttc#1. Will probably be testing around 2nd or 3rd of Jan, as AF due on 4th.
Fingers crossed for us all!

RRB · 29/12/2024 21:42

My cycles has been so erratic I have no idea how many DPO I am (I did do a OPK but I don’t think it was right - it had me peaking a few times in the month 🤷‍♀️) - all I know is I’m CD30, nauseous with tingly nipples.

Currently testing negative but praying for a positive test soon. (My last few cycles have been 37-44 days)

Im torn between not getting my hopes up and desperately wanting to hear from people who ovulated late in there cycles 🫠

@AudreyJL I am 8DPO I believe!

Hope what you're feeling is implantation! Keeping my fingers crossed for you

I've had some on and off pricking/tingling type pains in my lower abdomen yesterday and today... could be implantation, could all be in my head!!

How many dpo are you? :)

8DPO here! BFN though even on a first response test. Can't describe it but just have a feeling I'm out this month even though it's early

9dpo

My boobs are really sore, last night I started to get a sore throat and woke up this morning to a really sore throat, there's also some white patches on my tonsils. Probably not related at all, as got BNF this morning. My LH level has risen by 0.11 since yesterday though

Keeping everything crossed for you! I've not had any symptoms but part of me thinks that could be a good sign as last month I had everything and it was BFN 🤣

Why do we do this to ourselves!

I’m in my 4th cycle of TTC #1 and I’m 7dpo. I have all my usual pms symptoms though so I am not very hopeful but I will test at 10dpo if I make it that far. I could really use that line going into the new year 🥹

StillTrying10000 · 28/12/2024 21:10

Ahh TWW is the worst! I’m an early tester and thank god as it put me out of my misery early. Good luck! xxx

When will everyone be testing? I'm
Fighting the urge over here 🙈

AF is due 2nd so I'll test either 3rd or 4th of Jan if AF doesn't arrive but I feel like she's on her way

MadeWithL0ve · 28/12/2024 18:03

I still have about 12 days to wait before I can test 🤣 I'm trying to be chilled this time round 🥴 the wait is the worst

I'm going to wait until my period is due. It will be hard though!

Show quote history

Same here, holding out til AF purely because the early testing can be so disappointing!
