1 DPO - anyone else?

[HelloSunShine289]

TTC #1
Cycle #2

I had an early ovulation this month on cycle day 8! AF ended cycle day 5!

FX for everyone!

I'm one or two days behind you - got my peak LH test yesterday. Good luck!

3DPO here! TTC#1 cycle 3. Wow CD8 is early! What methods are you using to detect ovulation? Mine was late this cycle, think it was CD18.

Hi ladies! I'm TTC #1 on cycle #1.
CM and OPKs say I O'd on CD12 or 13 so I'm 3/4DPO. I haven't gotten a clear temp rise so haven't been able to confirm O but I'm assuming I did!
Really excited/nervous to start this journey!

Hey all

Can I join

Im TTC #1 on cycle 5
Positive OPK CD 15/16 - ovulated CD 17
So currently 8dpo and the wait is killer lol
Couldn't resist this morning and tested of course a BFN going to try and hold out for 13dpo

Really nervous but excited, its nice to be able to share to help keep myself sane lol and stop me from going symptom spotting mad lol

@Sandiesands you don't have too long to wait now. I can imagine those 5 days feeling like a lifetime! I have 10 more days to wait so that'll feel like a millennium but hopefully that means you can share some good news sooner and keep us feeling positive! How have you been keeping yourself distracted?
FF was able to detect ovulation on CD14 so I'm actually 3 DPO, so now that's been confirmed... The wait begins.

@unCliche
I know it feels like a life time !! Being honest trying to distracted myself has been the hardest, not winning lol definitely this site has helped

When do you plan to test x

Hii, can I join? 2DPO and the wait is killing me already! Been off the pill since June, haven’t been using any protection but would say this is the first month we’ve made the effort to DTD on the correct days.

Keeping everything crossed for lots of BFP’s on this thread 💕

@Sandiesands I think next weekend will be a good time, so 10 DPO, which would be around the time AF is due. When is AF due for you?

I know what you mean, distractions are probably easier said than done! It hasn't really dawned on me that I'm in my TWW now because I've been so busy trying to figure out if I O'd or not haha!

I've been watching sperm meets egg videos on YouTube so I can visualise what's happening inside of me, I'm crazy... I know...

@unCliche Now you said about the youtube videos, I had to go and watch one 😂😂

Hi all, I’m currently on 2DPO, planning on waiting until AF is late before testing so will test on 6th November if I can hold off until then.

@unCliche I watch all sorts of random pregnancy related videos on YouTube including pregnancy announcements and gender reveals haha. I end up down a YouTube rabbit hole until silly hours at night 🙈😂

@ChinChilly oh dear! What have I done?? You'll be just as weird as me and we'll turn into a proper crazy bunch very soon 😂 how excited are you to properly start TTC this month?? I'm trying to keep my expectations low but I can't wait to test!

Welcome @MrsLauraM! Glad to know I'm not the only one watching all sorts on YouTube! I love a good pregnancy announcement - especially to dad's to be. I get so invested. Makes me wonder how I'll reveal a BFP to DH and my family. If we're successful this month, I'd love to send my family members a Xmas or new years card with a photo of the scan! What do you think you'd do to reveal yours?

@unCliche I feel like the addiction has started now 😂😂 the TWW feels exciting this time but I’m the same really I don’t want to get my hopes up, I was previously hoping that we would be one of those couples who catchs whilst doing the whole casual TTC thing!

I was thinking exactly the same as a family announcement if I were to get a BFP this month!

Oh my gosh! No word of a lie, I have the exact same plan if I get pregnant this cycle!! I’d do a birthday card for my FIL because it’s his birthday on 22nd and then Christmas cards for the rest of the family! How bizarre is that?! 😂😂😂

Great minds! How fun that we all thought of the same thing! We usually have a huge gathering with all aunties/uncles/cousins but I'm not sure what will happen this year because of COVID. I would love to celebrate the holidays in person and see their faces when they receive their card. Might have to post it instead...

@ChinChilly I would love to have conceived unknowingly but I've never been accidentally pregnant and didn't want to take any chances so went all out and started tracking BBT, using OPKs and checking CM - not entirely sure I'm doing it right but all my symptoms seemed to align with O and at least I feel like I have some control over TTC as well.

How are you ladies tracking O?

@unCliche I used OPKs, kind of check CM and monitor my RHR not sure how accurate RHR but it seems to go up around my fertile week and comes crashing back down around AF

@ChinChilly I'm using an Ava bracelet to measure BBT and it also measures RHR and breathing rate because these can also indicate O so there's some science to it.

@unCliche your RHR follows the same pattern as your temp quite nicely.

My RHR is through the roof at the moment since the beginning of my FW I’m not sure it is anything to excited about at the moment as I’m only around 2DPO

@ChinChilly you're right, my RHR seems to match when my BBT go up and down, so I'm assuming, if you were temping you'd probably see a similar temp spike around O like what your RHR has done. It looks promising because I think it probably means you definitely did O!

@unCliche seems like it, fingers crossed! TWW seems like a lifetime already and I’m only 2 day in 🙄

That being said, I just went back and looked at my fitbit data and the rise seems to align with days where I should be ovulating. Then it drops down when AF starts. Learnt something new today!

Omg I already know what Im doing if we get our BFP , Im going to carve a heart shape into a pumpkin and put a little baby pumkin inside with a hat on and sucking a dummy lol

We got a doorbell camera as well so be able to record his reaction which would be priceless xx

But I haven't thought about it much lol 😆

Fingers crossed for everyone on this thread x i hope we all get our BFPs

@unCliche apparently it stays up if you get pregnant rather than dropping when AF is due to arrive, some people use it as an indicator of a BFP

I'm on 3DPO here, so the wait begins!

Hoping to get my mind off it, but difficult with this partial lockdown and not able to make too many plans!

@Sandiesands omg so cute!! What an original idea! I'm guessing you'll be testing a few days before halloween then? Imagine if he doesn't notice it 😂 what will you do?? My DH would completely miss it if I tried that.

Hi @penny92! Are you in a tier 2 location? I'm in tier 1 so things are as normal as they can be, but you're right, generally things are a bit more difficult and there are less things to do overall.

I think I'm going to have to pick up a book to get lost in if I find myself obsessing over things. Some people start hobbies too so you could consider that.

@ChinChilly I've literally just put my fitbit back on thanks to you

@Sandiesands My OH would definitely miss is aswell 😂😂

@unCliche I like the idea of getting back into reading to distract myself! I have to say I do love my fitbit, encourages me not to be a lazy cow 😂😂
