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

434 replies

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?

Great willpower @JuniperAndTonic! And it sounds like you've been doing well at keeping yourself busy!

I am 5 DPO and on an extended weekend away with the hubby. So, that has helped me to get through the first few days of TWW without obsessively starting to symptom spot. Though it was 95 degrees F here today and I couldn't help but wonder if I was any more prone to heat exhaustion than normal 🤔 I def got dizzy the month of my chemical, so I will be watching for that (but not for another week I guess).

I hope you're all holding up well in the TWW! I'm now 10dpo and yesterday - or the day before? - I started having AF like cramps. Dull, feels like the cramps before the bad ones start if that makes sense? Only in the evening so far. Weird... I was convinced it's AF showing up but since I'm due Thursday or Friday it's a bit early for those cramps.
I don't want to test yet though, I couldn't deal with a 'not reall there' line. Need a yes or a no :)

Wish it was that warm here (had to look up what 95F is in C though haha!). It’s currently only about 10C (50F) here at the moment and I think we’re all desperate for some warm weather! Maybe not quite that warm though! 😅 Glad you had a distraction from the TWW though!!
JuniperAndTonic · 24/05/2021 22:07

I’ve had similar today @Bundaberg84 don’t know if it means anything but could be implantation?? 🤞🏻 Baby dust to you and well done on not testing yet - great willpower!! I get what you mean - last minute th I just got anted to know for definite, every time I tested early I just kept thinking “‘subs it’s too early” “maybe there will be a line tomorrow” so I do think it’s better to just wait!

Hey @JuniperAndTonic. All good here thank you, enjoying a bit of normal like you too. Did some exercise tonight as been back to my old dance class for the first time in over a year so that was nice. Although I'm not sure I'll be saying the same when I can't move in the morning 🤣

I'm 7 or 8 dpo and had 100% cracked by now every other month. I feel weirdly chilled which is strange as we said if we don't catch this morning we'd wait til after our wedding..... which is oct 2022! 🤔

Hoping to wait til af is due but I do have a lonely frer glaring at me from the inside of my wardrobe 🤣 I have no Internet cheapies.

I did do a test at only 5dpo which I know wouldn't show up even if we have been lucky this month but I went out for cocktails so thought I better just to make sure 🙈 x

Fingers crossed this is our month xx

JuniperAndTonic · 24/05/2021 22:08

Wow sorry for the spelling - no idea what happened! Stupid autocorrect but hopefully it still makes a bit of sense 😂

Bundaberg84 · 24/05/2021 22:20

@JuniperAndTonic maybe we're onto something!😉 Fingers crossed for you as well!🤞
@K8Tee I always feel chilled until like 10dpo or something around that 😉

Extra fingers crossed for you this month then @K8Tee - October 2022 is a long time to wait!!

We got married 2 years ago, initially we were going to wait to TTC until we moved into a house - currently in a flat which we’re trying to sell but Covid is making the market weird so we’re struggling! I got fed up with waiting so convinced hubby we should just try and if we have a baby before we move well we’ll just deal with it! Still makes me nervous though that we won’t have space or we’ll end up with twins or triplets or something 🤣

K8Tee · 24/05/2021 23:09

Aw yeah flats have had it tough as well as it was only cash buyers at one point wasn't it for some reason.

Yep it's a looooong time so fingers crossed.

You'll make it work, it will be nice and cosy if nothing else ❤

K8Tee · 24/05/2021 23:11

@Bundaberg84 oh no, 3 more days ish til i lose my chill then 🤣🙈 its hard not to get obsessed though isn't it x

Bundaberg84 · 24/05/2021 23:24

@K8Tee it certainly is, yes 😆

Tangfastic91 · 25/05/2021 06:34

Hey @JuniperAndTonic all good here thanks. 5 weeks today and have my midwife app for end of June. Panicking that it's all going to go wrong but I've been reassured this is normal 🙈. I think I need to stop reading the CP/MMC threads on here for my own sanity.

I'm sure you could totally make it work with a baby (or babies 🤭) in a flat. Best of luck for the TWW 🤞

80sPadme · 25/05/2021 07:56

@dogmom0930 and @K8Tee we are all around the same dpo, hoping for a result for all of us.
@JuniperAndTonic keep holding out till days 11/12, challenge yourself to beat last months 10 day fold.
Anyone else keep strong and positive. These two weeks feel like 10 years but we got this!!!!!

Bundaberg84 · 25/05/2021 08:29

@80sPadme I think these 2 weeks ARE 2 years! I swear I got more white hair than before

K8Tee · 25/05/2021 09:08

@80sPadme fingers crossed! 🤞 it's nice to have some people to go through the journey with x

taytay2020 · 25/05/2021 12:26

I'm hoping to join you all in the tww wait tomorrow! Got my peak on premom yesterday (3.27?!) so that was exciting - thanks again for your help @IzzT this has definitely been better for tracking than the one step or cb opks I used before.

.

I'm in a similar boat to you @K8Tee - our wedding reception should've been last year but now it's next June. If we don't conceive within the next two cycles we'll have to call it quits until next January - I won't mind being pg at the party but I don't want to be in labour or be so huge I can't dance! Here's hoping you don't have to wait until October 22! 🤞

dogmom0930 · 25/05/2021 13:50

@K8Tee and @taytay2020 I have my fingers crossed for you for BFP so you don't have to delay!! But, I'm a firm believer that everything happens at the right time even if we can't see why it might be right in the moment 😊

6 DPO today. Feeling twinges that I don't think are symptoms but my brain REALLY wants them to be haha! I suppose time will tell 😉

@IzzT Fantastic! Glad it's all going well

dogmom0930 · 25/05/2021 14:54

@IzzT Great news to hear! 😊

K8Tee · 25/05/2021 15:01

@IzzT that's fantastic so pleased all is going well for you xx

80sPadme · 25/05/2021 15:27

That's great @IzzT
Glad all is well.
I'm so exited to hear how you are doing and hope I will be on the pregnancy bus with you soon

80sPadme · 25/05/2021 16:55

Glad all is going welly @IzzT

K8Tee · 26/05/2021 10:35

Suddenly starting to get itchy feet to test now. 9/10 dpo. Must stop myself 🤣🙈

K8Tee · 26/05/2021 13:26

Hey ladies, me again. Just wondering what people who are planning to have the covid vaccine under normal circumstances are thinking about having it in our current ttc boat? I had my text and am booked in for Saturday for dose 1 by which time I'll be 11 dpo I think so a test could or couldn't show at that stage. . . I know it was advised not to have it before but now it says you can have it so just wondered what people's thoughts were around it?
