1DPO - Anyone want to join for the 2WW?

[IzzT]

Hello! First month TTC. Currently 1DPO, no symptoms as of yet, but already feeling stressed at the thought of not knowing if we were successful for two more weeks! Worried we didn't BD enough, we did every other day during the fertile window including day before O. Anyone got any advice or just want to join in the conversation to get us through the wait?

Hi @80sPadme thank you! Got my amazon test delivery yesterday and feeling the urge but from reading threads on here the risk of a negative too early would be irritating. Going to try and wait until weekend, AF due Sunday.
Fab on the smiley too thats a great sign 😀 x

Hi ladies, how are you all doing? Welcome to the thread @Aries491!

I’m still plodding along at 4DPO - going to try and hold out another week to test but we’ll see how I feel next week as I’m still feeling calm this week and even forgot how many DPO I am until I checked my app!

What has everyone been up to to pass the time? I’m a little fed up with the rubbish British weather and still wearing jumpers and coats when I feel I should be wearing summery dresses by now!! I’m trying to eat healthy but it’s so hard when it’s cold and grey and I just want comfort food!!

Hey @JuniperAndTonic! Hope the next week goes fast for you. This weather is honestly depressing, I had my heating on in September and it's still on now, so that's maybe 3 months in a year that I don't have to have the heat on (I'm also very much in the add another jumper first camp so not precious!)

Thanks @JuniperAndTonic :)
It's so tempting to test isn't it, I'm 11 or 12 dpo today (apps are a day out lol) and was tempted this morning but didn't. Might cave tomorrow but I've only got those clear blue digital so not sure how sensitive they are. Hope the next week goes fast for you!

Weather is awful isn't it, I've just nipped out and the rain was just horrible (lancashire based so you'd think I'd be used to it!) I wish we had last years weather :)

Hi @JuniperAndTonic
Another familiar name for this next 2 weeks. I'm actually excited this month that I'm a bit behind you guys so I can live vicariously through your POAS.

@Tangfastic91 I know right it’s freezing! Went out without a coat yesterday and definitely regretted it 😂

@Aries491 it is so tempting to test! But I know there’s no point this early! I started testing from 10DPO last month and even that is quite early! I do feel better now than last month which was my first cycle trying and I was so obsessive!! I’ve heard the clear blue digital aren’t that sensitive and also expensive if you’re going to test early and take multiple! But some internet cheapies - I got 20 on amazon for £8 or something!

@80sPadme hi again! I’ll be sure to update you when I decide to start POAS so you can get your fix 😂

Hey all! 1 DPO for me today and feeling good about this month whatever happens I'm going to try to not test until at least 12 DPO unless I have symptoms that tempt me otherwise. I'm so curious how symptom spotting will go for me this month! Last month I had such terrible and unusual nausea and got not even the faintest positive. Assuming it was just hormones readjusting from the previous month. But, I definitely didn't expect it!

Hope the weather across the pond improves for you all! We've had rain and hot, muggy weather here the last few days. I'm looking forward to some sun bathing during the TWW!

I am 1DPO today.
That means I ovulated on CD 11 and I'm worried as that's 3 months in a row. Does this indicate poor egg quality and a short follicular phase 😭😭😭

Happy Friday guys! I managed not to cave this morning did my FMU and thought right leave until tomorrow. I'll be 13/14 dpo tomorrow so probs an alright time to test with AF due Sunday. @JuniperAndTonic I should have got cheapies lol! Will have a look for next time if this cycle hasn't worked.
@80sPadme I'm not sure what that could mean, I feel so new to this I'm consulting Dr Google all the time!! Is it something you can speak to a GP about at all if worrying you? Not sure how difficult that is with covid still, I've not seen a GP in a year or so they just keep signing off my asthma prescriptions over the phone! Best wishes to all for the weekend :-) x

Happy Friday @Aries491. Hoping you get that BFP at the weekend!!

Yay for weekends!! Fingers crossed for you @Aries491! You're so strong to wait 💪🏻

@80sPadme I so hope for you that that's not the case ❤️ Wishing you a healthy chance this month!!

2 DPO for me today and about to head to the airport for a weekend away. Hopefully that keeps my mind off of things 🤞🏻

BFN on a digital this morning, shame although AF not due till tomorrow according to flo so if still not made an appearance by Monday I might test again. Think I'll try those OPKs and cheap tests for next next if no luck this month. Hope everyone else has a nice weekend! :)

@Aries491 hopefully you've just tested a bit early for digital 🤞

@Tangfastic91 hopefully as I've seen on here we aren't out till AF shows up! Although this is our first proper cycle so not stressing too much lol! Tempted to buy some FRER today lol think I'm turning into a POAS addict 🙈🙈🙈 hope you're well today and have a nice Saturday! :)

Hopefully your still in @Aries491.
2DPO and I'm already chomping at the bit to know if I am or not

Looks like AF is showing up today, very light but pretty convinced its the witch lol! Never mind onto the next cycle and ordering some cb opks this time round- might as well give it a go! :-) hope everyone else is well and the TWW isn't too bad for those in it! X

Sorry to hear that @Aries491! But good for you to see the silver lining of a fresh start! Timing is everything, and hoping that timing for you is right around the corner 😊

4 DPO for me today and not loving the indigestion that always seems to come with my progesterone rise after OD. But it puts me that much closer to testing time at least! 🤷‍♀️ Hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend!

Thanks @dogmom0930 for the kind words :) it was our first proper cycle so going to relax and feel positive for the next go! Just get AF out the way first lol!
Hope this TWW goes fast for you and there is a BFP at the end of it! Sending baby dust :)

Sorry to hear @Aries491! Hope AF is done with soon so you can move on and at least you know for definite now! Try and hold on to that positive attitude!!

Hope you’re all having a good weekend. I’m doing okay, 7DPO and today I’ve been out spending money - went shopping for the first time since before Christmas (not food shopping, actual non essential shopping!!). Haven’t really been thinking about the 2WW as been distracted which is good! Hopefully the next few days pass quickly so I can find out one way or the other! I have no symptoms what so ever but I know that’s meaningless at this stage really!

Really shopping @JuniperAndTonic, I'm doing that next week. I canne wait!!!

So sorry to hear that @Aries491
Keeping fingers crossed for everyone else in the TWW.
How far in is everyone and how are you all doing/ feeling

5 DPO here. Feeling pretty normal. I always feel the effects of my digestion slowing down during this week of the month. So I always feel like my food is sticking with me 😜 But hopefully that goes away here in a few days 🤷‍♀️ Planning to hold off testing for another week unless I feel anything out of the ordinary before then 😊

Hey ladies. 7 or 8 dpo here. I'm holding off testing too. Been busy with work and have an exam on Friday then moving house next week hopefully so it's been a distracting week lol 😆 anyone due to test soon? X

Evening! I’m 8DPO and felt some mild crampy pains today. I don’t know why, I was drawn to looking at the pregnancy tests in Tesco today, eventhough I have loads of internet cheapies at home 🙄 managed to resist buying any more haha! Still want to try and hold out for a few more days to test so we’ll see how long I can hold out! Last month I cracked at 10 days so only 2 to go 😅

I’ve been enjoying a bit of return to normality the last few days - met up with the in laws on Saturday, shopping yesterday, coffee with my mum today and I even went swimming! Felt good to get some exercise but I’m aching now 😅

How are you all @dogmom0930 @80sPadme @k8tee and everyone else in the two week wait? And of course the bumps - @IzzT @Daisyrobin123 and @Tangfastic91 - hope everything is all okay with you guys!
