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!

Hi ladies,
I’ve been reading but not posting. I think I drove myself a little crazy last month and ended up super stressed. My ovulation was delayed meaning I had a 40 day cycle. I got my hopes up as we’d done the deed plenty in the right time frame but sadly it wasn’t to be.
This cycle I know we missed the window as my partner was really poorly with flu. We managed to DTD 3 and 4 days before I ovulated (I don’t temp so that’s going off LH strips and CM) but that was all we managed. I know there’s still a slim chance but I feel like it’s taken the pressure off a bit this month. I’m currently 10po. Not tested and holding out until day 12 or my period arrives whichever comes first.

Good luck to those still to get their BFPs

12dpo bfn for me today! So either I did ovulate later and I'm still in the waiting game of AF is due tomorrow/Tuesday. One thing I know is I will be waiting until AF arrives, or if it doesnt i wont be testing until next weekend. I've never gotten a bfp later than 12dpo, always 9-11dpo.
@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 I'm so sorry AF arrived for you today 😔 hopefully this new month cycle is your month! You'll have to post on this one or one of my threads, keep me updated xx

AF has arrived for me ! So back to cycle day 1 xx I'm gutted 😢
Fingers crossed for you this morning @CookieCrumbleCrumbs

@babydustx because I’ve had 4 miscarriages I need to start a cocktail of drugs as soon as I see a positive so annoyingly waiting for my period isn’t a huge option for me - instead I just get to go mental each month looking at blank tests! I think mentally it’s also better to see a few negatives before I come on, just to prepare myself.

Im pretty sure I’m out this month. In all 4 of my previous pregnancies I’ve had a positive by the evening of 8dpo which I’m aware is early but just seems to be my pattern.

Many fingers crossed for everyone else though! And if not this month then there’s always next 🥰

@Lalalala77 oh no! Luckily you have a lot of work to do to distract you away from the crazy! It does send you insane, hence why I posts like this really help you get the crazy out! Hopefully you'll get your bfp in the next day or so! I pulled my lower back Monday and I convinced myself it's because all my joints and ligaments have loosened ready for pregnancy 🙄 I'm close to being certified!

@babydustx I'm sorry I it was an evap for you - I can see it in the first pic. You are still early though so hopefully in a few days it will be a blatantly obvious bfp! 🤞

@Nelly1023 you have some strong will power! I'm 11dpo, bfn yesterday. I hated it when I stopped bf my DD, my boobs were just agony constantly. I had to massage them to get the let down feeling to get relief for a while. Sending hugs your way!

Most my symptoms have disappeared today - cramps are barely there anymore, no weird taste anymore, hot cheeks are still there but hey 🤷‍♀️ ill be testing 1st thing in the morning, if its a bfn again I'm probably out this month!

11dpo, trying to hold off testing until missed period if I get that far - luckily no tests in the house so can’t be tempted, but I feel like I’m going mental waiting! Symptom spotting but I also recently stopped BF my 2 year old so all of my “symptoms” could be that - my boobs are giant and painful! Hope everyone’s okay!

babydustx · 18/10/2025 10:21

1st pic - evap/indent at 10 mins
2nd & 3rd - light / no light it disappeared

Why did I start too early 😭 🤣

Just posted on another thread thinking it was this one!
I’ve just spent the last 30 minutes staring at what is definitely a negative 8dpo test trying to convince myself I see something 🙄

No symptoms for me at all either, sometimes some low stomach feelings but I recon that’s just normal toilet issues 😂

It’s ridiculous how mad we all get isn’t it - I strained my hip flexor yesterday and was trying to figure out how that might be linked. I’m a physio for context so that’s extra ridiculous for me to try and make into some sort of symptom.
I have a busy work day ahead so at least I won’t be spending my time peeing and staring at blank sticks today.

Good luck for anyone testing today, hoping to see the first positives very soon 🤞

Oh no! This TWW brings out the worst in us 🤣 we actually all turn a little crazy I think.
If it makes you feel better I’m only 6DPO today and stupidly testing, then spent forever staring at a stupid evap line which has now obviously disappeared lol and would never be positive this early anyway!

I’ve ordered some different cheapie tests to try too - I currently use easy@home (think I said Premom earlier in thread but got that wrong!)

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs yes will let you know when I get bfn in morning 🤣 how are you feeling!?

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 17/10/2025 19:11

@babydustx yeah they showed earlier than first response but they seem to take forever to actually show a line once you wee on the test! It takes the full 5mins initially to get a line.

Sometimes you just need to test, just to get it out your system to wait out the next few days! Good luck if you do, and let us all know!

OP posts:
babydustx · 17/10/2025 14:18

oh boots more sensitive! That’s interesting, I’ve never used those. I think Premom are 25.. I may be wrong tho!
I will just need to do it to kick the urge I think. We’ll see! Grrr hate this TWW.

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 17/10/2025 14:14

@babydustx I used first response this morning but after last month I wish I had bought boots early tests because they picked up sooner than first response last month.

How sensitive are the premom ones? I can't tell you not to test because I almost tested at 6dpo then 8dpo this cycle! But if it makes you feel better go for it and good luck!

babydustx · 17/10/2025 13:37

Thanks @CookieCrumbleCrumbs! Sending baby dust to us all 💖

What tests are you using? I’m so tempted to test tomorrow with the cheapie Premom one, although I know will be bfn at only 6dpo 🤣 god help me

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 17/10/2025 13:18

@babydustx well I hope this month af doesn't come at 15dpo and you get your bfp this month!

OP posts:
babydustx · 17/10/2025 10:05

Good luck to you both retesting in a few days xx @CookieCrumbleCrumbs@VanessaShanessaJenkins99

Yes BBT is usually steady til about 12/13dpo then AF will come like clockwork on 15dpo 🤣

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 17/10/2025 09:38

@babydustx thank you. I know it's still early I just always seems to test positive by 10dpo if pregnant - the last 3 chemicals and when pregnant with DD all 9/10dpo. Your symptoms all sound good, does your temp usually stay high after ovulation?

@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 I'm sorry you had a bfn too. Doesn't waiting just feel like a lifetime, even just 2 days?!

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 17/10/2025 06:32

It's a bfn this morning! I was almost sure it would be a bfp however, i was almost relieved it was a bfn because I didn't want to see a bfp fade to nothing again...such a weird feeling. 2 more days to go then I'll test again!

Mine was a BFN too - 10dpo is still pretty early in some cases so not all hope is lost! I am going to try and hold out another 48 hours.

babydustx · 17/10/2025 08:39

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs sorry to hear was BFN. Still early though so don’t feel too discouraged. I’ve had bad cramps past few days almost feel like AF and slight spotting, I know too early for implantation and doesn’t look like it anyway. I get it most cycles so just really annoying.
BBT is still high but not hopeful, 5DPO today

@Lalalala77 thank you 😊 of course i will update either eay! oh wow, I hope you get some good food and a cuppa in you! Being busy really does help, wouldn't recommend 24/7 though - what's the point in the TWW if you don't obsess just a little bit?! 🤭

@babydustx thank you! I've had hot cheeks in and off all day so hoping that's a good sign 😂 how are you today?

OP posts:
babydustx · 16/10/2025 21:58

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs good luck for testing in morning! Fingers crossed for you ✨

Lalalala77 · 16/10/2025 21:51

Good luck @CookieCrumbleCrumbs ! Hoping for a nice double line test for you tomorrow - please let us know an update when you have it.
Im 6dpo so still a way to go and obviously very negative tests 🙈
I’ve had a really long day working today over two jobs so haven’t had much time to obsess today which is very good. Maybe I just need to work 24/7 in the TWW to get me through from now on!
