1DPO

[Hkr23]

Anyone with me that wants to keep sane until 2 weeks time?

Hello! I'm 4-5 dpo in my first cycle. I think I'm going to try not to test until at least 14 dpo - first cycle and I'm really scared of having a chemical pregnancy, I'd almost rather not know and just have AF! When are you hoping to test? I know most do at 10dpo so I might be tempted early!

Do you chart bbt at all?

Hey! No I dont chart, it's my first cycle too.. If I can hold off 14dop but more than likely I will get impatient and test on 10dop 😶

Hey ladies I’ll join you. This is my proper first cycle (though we have been trying for 9 months!) where I’m tracking everyday I can. I’m 2DPO and according to my app I can test is 12 days which is 14 days in total! Sensing baby dust to everyone. X

@ChicaXS it's so frustrating waiting isn't it.. oo exciting, fingers crossed for you!

@hkr23 it is frustrating but I feel relaxed about it since (thankfully) god bless the NHS we are preliminary booked for IVF next year due to my age (36) and condition (PCOS) of course I would love it sooner however the waiting lists are insane and apparently I can still conceive naturally - though a low to medium probability.

I have become quite obsessed with the tests though lol they get addictive and it’s fascinating learning about your body and hormones! X

Think I am 3 DPO, so I’ll join if that’s ok.
TTC for 6 months and this is my 4th cycle :)

Can I join, I think I'm either 3DPO or 2DPO but still waiting for Ava or FF to confirm so I don't know for sure. Like many of you this is our first cycle as well. I'm hoping to hold off until a week Saturday before testing but I have had zero chill in this process so far so it's probably unlikely...

I'm 2dpo. First cycle since my miscarriage in April

Testing is addictive lol I'm just impatient and hate waiting but luckily I'm working a lot up until my 14DPO so I'm hoping that will keep me from testing too early!
Oh really? Fingers crossed you dont have to go through all of that and it happens this month!!

Hello ladies, we can all ride this bus together xz

I'm 1DPO today and would like to join if that's ok! Only cycle #2 of TTC - found last month really very stressful so trying to be a bit more chilled about it this month. We'll see how long that lasts though!

I'll join you lovely ladies for my sanity this month. Currently 2dpo on my 2nd cycle. Had a chemical last month so I know that I had very few symptoms last month so will be interested to compare.

I don't want to test until at least 14dpo and I've purposely not bought any tests this month.

Welcome ladies, we’re all pretty much in the same cycle! I really hope at least one of us gets a BFP!!! Fingers crossed for you all!! Xx

Hi All,

I'm on my first cycle too! According to Ovia, I'm 2dpo, however, I have Pcos so not entirely sure that's correct. I used OPKs all last week but all were negative. I've ordered a thermometer to check BBT so hopefully that gives me a better insight into if/when I'm ovulating! I'll be 35 in October so hoping to conceive naturally before then. If not, I guess I'll get myself to the docs to see what's happening. Good luck to you all x

I had a positive OPK on Sunday and since doing OPKs I always come on 14 days after my strongest positive. This month I only had one day of positive OPKs which was Sunday so I am calling myself 3dpo but probably only ovulated on Monday or yesterday (assuming I have ovulated.... I don’t temp) but seeing as I always come on 14 days after a positive OPK, I’m calling myself 3dpo. I’m going to try not to symptom spot this month.last month, I had sore boobs, and felt so exhausted I convinced myself that I must be pregnant and I wasn’t.... so, this time, I’m going to assume I’m not pregnant until I’m late. And I’m NOT going to test early.... (she says 😂) Seeing BFNs every time is so disheartening.

Ah, I'm glad theres more ladies on the thread! It's nice to be able to talk to others in the same boat and know you aren't going insane waiting.. fingers crossed one of us get a BFP!! 2DPO and I'm starting to feel impatient, you can tell it's my first cycle of TTC.

@hkr23 me too haha! 6dpo now. Worst is I work shifts and I'm just home alone now until the weekend so I've got nothing to do but think about TTC! I would POAS without DH there too though so I've got to hold off.

Are you all staying off alcohol and caffeine etc during the TWW? I have done so far but a little g&t would help the waiting!

@lewk call me evil but I had some glasses of Prosecco last night. I didn’t drink for 6 weeks (was fasting!) so I wanted to reward myself. I’m drinking coffee as normal. I did a lot of research and alcohol is subjective. I think as long as you don’t get bladdered and keep fit it should be ok but it’s up to the individual. Of course once it’s BFP it’s a big fat no. I heard coffee is ok in small doses?

2dpo here. Had a chemical last month so it feels even more awful this month. Cycle 9 and I'm nearly 41 so giving up hope. X

Chia- it’s 100% fine to drink alcohol & coffee before you got a positive test. Alcohol & caffeine can only reach the embryo via the placenta which doesn’t start to form until at least the day of your missed period.

That aside, it can take months to conceive. Don’t put your life on hold & stop drinking and doing regular activities. You’ll go insane! Yes, stay healthy but a couple glasses of wine is fine! And coffee!

I've had a few drinks, nothing excessive because I dont drink a lot anyways but why not ey :) I work shifts too, luckily I'm busy over the weekend as well wo can avoid temptation

I'm going to join you all too if that's ok - I think I'm 5 DPO
First cycle here too!!

Welcome @SLT90! Lots of first timers here :) I'm 7dpo and after a couple days worrying that my temps were decreasing, pleased to see another rise in temp this morning! So so hoping for a BFP. The TWW is so weird - we could all be pregnant and just not know! Fingers crossed for all!

@lewk happy to hear you've had a rise in temp! Fingers crossed for you!! I need to get a hobby because I feel that it's all I'm thinking about 😂 and still 11 days to go before I'm 14dpo

I'm 1 dpo today. Not getting hopes up, in fact not even really trying anymore as waiting to go for a laparoscopy.

Doc didn't tell me to stop ttc but will need to do a test before the op 😭

Would like to join too! Currently 2dpo and its already taking over the majority of my thoughts! There was me promising myself to stay somewhat sane this cycle 😂 going to try to hold out POAS until at least 12dpo. Here goes the dreaded 2WW...
