TWW 1dpo anyone want to join?

Hi,

Anyone currently in the TWW? I could do with some company for the next couple weeks!

I am currently 1dpo. The last 3 months I have had chemicals and it has devastated not just me but my DH too. it was his birthday last month and i knew when i did the CB digital on his birthday and it said "not pregnant" that it wouldnt end well, despite getting a positive with the same urine the same morning and all the other positives i had on my boots tests, it hadn't gotten darker from the 2 days before. I was due that sunday/Monday and AF came tuesday. This is the last month we are trying on our own before we get help. I'm hoping my body just rejected a few bad eggs/sperm and this will be our month!

All TWW stories welcome, symptom spotting, over analysis, all the crazy weird things we only notice in the TWW!

@Nelly1023 exactly my thought process! In saying that though I've had ovulation pains from both ovaries since about half 3 today...😵‍💫 wtf? Either my AF is going to be absolute hell or I'm about to shoot out all my eggs in one hit - its pretty bad!

Oh my goodness that made me LOL! We are all here for you for your morning test, which no doubt will be very positive! Don't throw it away, we want to see! Have you been trying for long for baby number 3?

@CookieCrumbleCrumbsthat is definitely better than a chemical and maybe it’s the break your body needs to be ready for next month!

I tested again today at lunch because I’m a weirdo and the line was so obviously there I panicked and threw it away - what is wrong with me?? Will test again in the morning no doubt and send a picture!

@Nelly1023 no need to be sorry! I am OK with a bfn cycle this time after 3 chemicals - i would rather see a bfn than a bfp fade away. But I am so happy you got a bfp, AF still isn't here for me so there is always a random chance!

Are you testing again tomorrow? I wanna see your progress line! 😊

@Nelly1023 I get your panic then! But 3 kids is alot more fun, mess, play, cuddles! How exciting!

I am pretty done with this month, I just want AF to hurry up so we can get cracking on next month now, but thank you x

Nelly1023 · 21/10/2025 11:13

@CookieCrumbleCrumbsthis will be my 3rd! Hence the panic I think - already been googling what car we need to get and looking at houses 😅
I hope you’re okay and I’ll still keep fingers crossed, you never know!

@Lalalala77thank you! I’m nervous, I haven’t told my partner yet, he’s a massive worrier so I’m leaving it until I start seeing darker lines on the test..

ahh I’m sorry! I’ll keep everything crossed for you too, it’s not over until it’s over. And if not I’ll keep everything crossed again for next month 🫶🏻

Lalalala77 · 21/10/2025 11:09

@Nelly1023 congratulations! So exciting and so lovely to see someone get a positive! How are you feeling?

You’re not helping with my delusions that it could still happen for me though 😂 11dpo and nothing - had an evap line and got my hopes up but it faded to nothing when dry. I’m using super sensitive strips too so need to get my sensible head on and start planning for next month.

@Nelly1023 you'll be fine I promise! Is this your 1st DC? I'm so glad you got your bfp this month!

I'm almost certain I'm out, and I've come to terms with it but AF isn't here yet, usually she would be thismorning. I think the coq10 has messed me up a bit this cycle 😔

Nelly1023 · 21/10/2025 07:58

@CookieCrumbleCrumbsthank you 🥹 naturally I’m in panic mode thinking oh god what have I done but hopefully that passes soon haha!

keeping everything crossed you’re still in it this month 🫶🏻

@Nelly1023 congratulations! That's definately ALOT darker this morning than yesterday! I'm so happy for you! xx

This mornings test 😳 I definitely see it this time!

TWW 1dpo anyone want to join?
Fullofconfusion · 20/10/2025 20:41

@Nelly1023i can see a faint line too.

After saying I don’t think I’ve got much chance this month and won’t test until 12dpo I caved and tested this morning at 11dpo. BFN which didn’t surprise me. I’ve been really crampy today but also had an upset stomach (sorry TMI) so unsurprising.

AF due tomorrow but after last months ridiculous 40 day cycle who knows!

@Lalalala77 usually I am too, I've only done 2 this month so I've been restraining myself massively! I swear it's an addiction though, once you start it's impossible to stop! I'm waiting for AF this week, if she doesn't show, Friday/Saturday I'll test again, just incase I did ovulate later than I thought. 🤞 you get a bfp though, you still have a few days till AF.

@Nelly1023 I would definately test again tomorrow morning! I've got a feeling it will be more obvious! Don't panic, it's going to be just fine!

Nelly1023 · 20/10/2025 19:48

@CookieCrumbleCrumbsI checked after 3 mins and dismissed it as negative, but as I was walking to put it in the bin I noticed the vv faint line. Trying not to get my hopes up but I’m already panicking (why does this happen when it’s what I want?? 😅)

@Lalalala77im 13dpo - will definitely test again first thing in the morning!

Lalalala77 · 20/10/2025 19:18

Yeah, I’m obsessed with testing 😂 all negative though so just preparing myself for my period to start on wed/thurs now.

How about you? Still testing or waiting to see now?

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 20/10/2025 19:15

@Lalalala77 today/tomorrow. Usually I'd have more symptoms for AF by now except the cramps but 🤷‍♀️ who knows! How are you? Have you tested anymore?

OP posts:
Lalalala77 · 20/10/2025 18:41

Looks like a faint line @Nelly1023 - how many do are you? Do you have another for tomorrow morning? 🤞🤞 for you!

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs when are you due on?

Original poster
CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 20/10/2025 18:28

@Lalalala77 she hasn't arrived yet for me but I just know she's on her way!

@Nelly1023 I see a very very faint line! Did it come up within the time? How many dpo are you now? Tentatively very excited for you ☺️

OP posts:
narwhalsarereal · 20/10/2025 15:51

Definitely a faint line @Nelly1023

Nelly1023 · 20/10/2025 14:40

Hi everyone - due on tomorrow and couldn’t hold out any longer so went to get a cheap test, all morning I’ve just had a “feeling” so I quickly grabbed one on my lunch. At first I was sure it was negative, but the more I look the more I feel like I can see something - have I got line eyes or is there a verryyyyyy faint line?

TWW 1dpo anyone want to join?
Lalalala77 · 20/10/2025 07:37

@babydustx clear blue are so bad for evaps! I’m not sure how they can even still sell them.

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs - I’m also feeling period cramps today - a bit earlier than usual at 10dpo but at least we are in it together!

negative again today at 10dpo and period cramps ramping up. They woke me up this morning so I recon AF is in its way.

Hopefully there’s still some positives to come from some of you, otherwise see you in November 🙃

@babydustx I ALWAYS get evaps on clear blue, I hate them blue dyes, they are just awful! I've been burned several times with clear blue, only pink dye for me!

Welcome @Fullofconfusion. Sounds like you have had a couple of really stressful confusing months! Hopefully you have caught the egg this month, if not you DH will hopefully be all better and you can try again next month.

@babydustx 100% me too! When 12dpo gets here and it's a clear bfn I KNOW I'm out. Been feeling AF cramps all day - she is definately on her way! You should try boots early tests, they worked so well for me last month and they are cheaper than frer!

OP posts:
babydustx · 19/10/2025 19:23

PS. I’ve got two clear blues left (stupidly I used one today) and never using them again, they give the most awful evaps I have ever seen!

babydustx · 19/10/2025 19:22

@Lalalala77 That makes sense that you test early then to know as soon as possible then! How are you feeling today?

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs sorry to hear BFN 😞 I mentally clock myself out at 12dpo just to try and ease the hurt when AF shows up. But we all know there’s still a chance ..!

@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 sorry to hear she showed up! A new cycle, new opportunity ✨ Hope your having a nice relaxing night and the TWW stress is over x

@Fullofconfusion welcome 🤗 glad your feeling a little more relaxed this TWW, you never know you might be pleasantly surprised!

I tested BFN today too - I know it’s still early but I just know this cycle isn’t the one. I’ve been having spotting and cramps which I know isn’t implantation - spotting been light and happening since 3/4dpo but I do get 1-2 days of it most cycles x
