Page 5 | TWW 1dpo anyone want to join?

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 2025-10-08T07:47:33+00:00

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!

So today I have the weirdest taste in my mouth, and I think I've had it for about 3 days but I didn't think much of it. Its almost like acid on my tongue. No heart burn or reflux, just a weird taste! Today it's been almost unbearable, its making foods and drinks taste off - a cup of tea is out the window because it tastes just awful! It remind me of when you have been out and had far too many, when you bring it all back up THAT after taste, it's awful! Or licking a metal battery (I've never done that but that's how I think it would taste! 😂)
Roll on tomorrow because I will be testing first thing and then I'll know if I'm crazy or 🤞 get a lovely dark bfp!

@AccountingMummy are you still BF your DD? I have heard that this can change/shorten your cycle and I know a couple of friends who were TTC when BF, when they stopped they got pg within 2 months, but couldn't before.
I didn't pay much attention after I had my DD because we weren't ttc, except my period returned 5 months after giving birth and was all over the place until I stopped bf her at 1 year.
Maybe it's just a short cycle for you and your body is just resetting? Dont want to get your hopes up but I would monitor it, my sister had "normal" periods up until 20weeks pregnant!

4 dpo and AF arrived today. Any ideas? It is my first full cycle since my DD arrived so cycle is all over the place clearly. I got EWCM and positive LH test 5 days ago so I’m confident that was my surge and my 4 dpo is accurate. Do we think I just have a short luteal phase this month? TMI but the bleeding is bright red, quite heavy and I have cramps, so definitely think it is AF rather than anything else.

@VanessaShanessaJenkins99
Premom vs FF chart.
They do differ slightly based on how they predict the date I ovulated.
I think if you have 3 consecutive days of higher BBT than past 6 BBT then usually a good indicator that you’ve ovulated.

babydustx · 15/10/2025 19:36

I don’t understand this chart sorry, at what point on here did you peak / ovualte? I use Premom and FF charts which are pretty good! Il share the charts so you can see how the BBT looks on mine if u like

babydustx · 15/10/2025 19:34

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs sorry to hear about previous chemicals! I can’t say I’ve experienced CM like that tbh not that I remember anyway

Has anyone ever had mixed CM? Like thicker white CM eith EWCM mixed in? This is new to me, it's either super fertile CM or white, thicker CM. I googled it and that wasn't much help, anyone had this?

@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 - every time I say I’m going to wait until 10dpo and every time I test way earlier so I hear ya! In fact I did a test this morning at 5dpo and got disappointed it was a huge negative even though rationally I knew it would be 🙈.
The earliest I’ve ever had a squinter has been the evening of 8dpo but normally they’ve been at 10/11dpo so I have no idea why I’m suddenly going to defy nature and have a positive now. The worst thing is I would definitely panic if I had a positive now as to why I had it so early - this TTC lark sends me insane, I promise I’m usually a pretty level headed person 😂

Absolutely no symptoms so far my end. I’m aware it’s too early and considering it’s our first month actually trying and the timing wasn’t brilliant that it’s also unlikely but one can hope!

Im also excited for everyone else on here, really hoping there’s some good news coming in soon from you all

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 15/10/2025 14:50

Do you guys know much about bbt? It's only from my fitbit so I'm not sure how reliable this is but what do you think? 🤔

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 15/10/2025 14:07

Hi @VanessaShanessaJenkins99 bless you I love you started at 6dpo! Obviously it would be a bfn at 6dpo but you never know hey?!

I didn't test today, I restrained myself thinking if I am going to get a bfp, 10dpo is the day I want it! I only have 2 frer tests in the house too so if I did test today I would have only had 1 left for 10dpo and if that was a bfn I'd have none and have to order more which would stress me!

How's everyone else doing today?

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 15/10/2025 10:44

Hi Guys :)
I am 8DPO today! Been testing since 6dpo - obviously absolutely nothing on the tests!

aw lots of symptoms that sound really promising! When do u plan on testing? Will temptation get you before AF due?

Show quote history

It could all be promising, but it could all just be af or another chemical. Trying to stay positive! I actually told DH I wanted to test tomorrow 🫣 I'm hoping I'm too tired in the morning and forget until its too late! I usually test early, my DD I was 9dpo and it was a good bfp on a frer, I'm certain it would have been a squinter bfp at 8dpo! I want to test ever couple days, so if I get my bfp I can hopefully see progression and not stop getting darker then fade. If that does happen again I'll be going to my gp.

@babydustx the hot cheeks have gone for now! Sad times but I still feel warm so fingers crossed! 😂

7dpo today and even though the hot cheeks were short lived I've been cramping all day still, it has been non stop! Very heavy feeling too, like I'm about to start my period and had quite an increase in CM too. I'm also exhausted, had to nap with DD for 2 hours today which is rare, and I'm so looking forward to curling up in bed for a sleep tonight!

I get excited for each and every one of you! You can’t help but get your hopes up for each test can you 😂 in 2dpo, first cycle trying since DD.

Ah fingers crossed for us all 🥰🤞🏼 hoping your TTC journey is short and sweet

babydustx · 14/10/2025 18:47

@Nelly1023 no such thing as being over dramatic! We’re all here for it for you to share as little or as much as you feel like. It’s nice to know we all have each other for company ☺️
I also have 2 children so I know my body knows how.. it’s just a matter of when!

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs how’s the hot cheeks? 🤣 I love the optimism DH has!

Tbh it’s the first cycle I told DH I was actually ovulating and I don’t know wether the pressure to perform was a little off putting… or the fact i did bleed slightly after DTD the day of LH peak which was weird so we didn’t do it after that. I do sometimes ‘spot’ 3-5 DPO which I have no idea why but I guess it’s just normal for me - probably a bad sign tbh.

I’m 2DPO and had wet / creamy lotion like CM today.. also not unheard of for me at this stage

@Nelly1023 The wait makes me crazy too, mostly just to test I think, I like to know either way as soon as possible! Never feel silly for spotting symptoms, we all do it and anyone who says they don't I don't believe them! But, what's to say just because the cramps have now stopped that's not a positive sign?

That's pretty amazing you have had 2 children with crazy cycles! I've always been under the impression you need set times to get pregnant - period, ovulation then 2 weeks until next period. You have smashed through all that and have 2 beautiful children as proof!

Nelly1023 · 13/10/2025 17:37

@CookieCrumbleCrumbs@babydustx I feel a bit silly that now the cramping has stopped I was likely being overdramatic - it’s just so hard I feel like the wait makes me crazy!

my cycles are crazy and this is actually why I’m not tracking properly because I feel it’s impossible. I do have 2 children already so it has worked out for me previously, even with the weird periods.

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 13/10/2025 17:22

@AccountingMummy me too, even if i dont get my bfp this month im hoping you all do!

@babydustx I've never had implantation bleeding, I wish I did so I could be a bit more sure of myself! I've had no more pinching since early this morning. I am 6dpo, possible 3dpo because it felt like a 2nd ovulation but I'm now thinking the first was the true one considering my cramps, pinching and I have the famous hot cheeks! 😂

@Nelly1023 that's a very short cycle, may be worth a chat with your gp especially if you're trying to conceive. Do you track ovulation?

I have had cramps all day and a bit of a headache too. I've also had my hot cheeks I only seem to get when early pg. It started early afternoon and I made DH feel them when he got in from work, he immediately beamed a massive smile at me and said "pregnant" 😂 ill know for sure if I wake up at 2am for a wee in the next few days, that's always a dead give away too. All I hope is this is not another chemical, I just don't think I can take 4 in a row. I feel a bit guilty too as we shared some wine the other day when I thought I was ovulating again, I only had a glass and a half but still!

6dpo but have really bad cramps and I’m sure I’m going to come on early - feel like I need to go back to gp because my cycles are becoming so irregular again. (I had a period every 2 weeks for over a year with no explanation after I had my daughter) I hate the TWW but even more when it becomes a one week wait for nothing 🥲

That would be really early for AF wouldn’t it? How long is your luteal phase normally. Are you taking any vitamins / supplements that could have changed your cycles a bit?

babydustx · 13/10/2025 16:46

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 13/10/2025 10:32

Ah thanks @babydustx - im trying so hard not to link every single thing i feel to it being an early pregnancy symptom!
I have such had heartburn and indigestion! I laid in bed last night in the dark and i felt so dizzy! Im 6DPO today so in theory today would be the first possible day for implantation! Im going to try and hold off testing until Friday lol!

It’s so hard not to symptom spot isn’t it! 😂 the dizziness I remember well though, so that could be a good sign for you 🤞🏼 sometimes I test stupidly early like 7dpo knowing it will be BFN but then it’s done and I can move on with my day lol

babydustx · 13/10/2025 16:44

CookieCrumbleCrumbs · 13/10/2025 09:04

Thanks @babydustx. The pinching for me has now stopped, just the cramps hanging around. I did read ages ago that your tubes contact to release the egg out after fertilisation, and that can cause pains...don't know how true that is though!

Only 4 days to go before I start testing 🙄

Tbh I don’t even know what my pinching was as I had an implantation bleed about a week before. It’s hard to pin point as I didn’t track my cycles at all.

i really hope it’s all promising signs! How many DPO are you?
