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?

Hows everyone feeling? I'm 8DPO today and time is going so slowly! I've got a busy weekend planned to take my mind off it. I'm generally feeling quite negative about this month and I think its probably my brain preparing for the worst to avoid disappointment? 🤷‍♀️

@daisyrobin123 - I know what you mean! I'm only 6dpo and already preparing myself that it won't happen this month.

@Daisyrobin123 this literally feels like the longest week ever!! I’m still only 4 days post ovulation! I’ve been working nights so time gets a bit distorted anyway but even so! 😂

Hope everyone else is doing well and looking forward to the weekend - hopefully I’m going to enjoy some sunny weather after being stuck inside for 3 days!

11dpo for me, bfn on a frer so I'm out x

@justwant2beamum you're not out until AF comes knocking!

I'm only 4DPO and feel like time is going so slowly! Still not got any symptoms, although wouldn't expect any at this point. Hoping for a nice weekend in the sun to help speed up this wait!

Hi ladies, hope you're all well 💖 I've not posted on this one for a couple of days - work has been really stressful this week and I've also been struggling to stay awake past half 8! I'm 6DPO today, expected to be at least 12DPO 😂 this week has dragged beyond belief. Also, I promised myself that I wouldn't symptom spot but here I am yet again when my body throws in random aches and twinges just to keep me on my toes!

@justwant2beamum 11dpo is still early.
I've seen people say they've had negatives right up to 13dpo then get a BFP.
Not out yet ♥️

@Bee44
My week is going sooooooo slowly !
I'm 6dpo too (I think 🤔)
All the days blur into one 😂

I’m with you all on time going so slow! How am I only 4-5 DPO still? I’ve got my classic few days of indigestion between O and AF. Not a telling symptom for me as it has happened before TTC. But of course I’m over analyzing it since it happened with my CP too.

It’s helping me to have other things to count down for in the meantime. Throwing my sister a wedding shower this weekend (she gets married May 14 and I’m the MOH! And my pup is LONG overdue for a visit to the groomer and is finally getting in on Tuesday (been counting down that one for 6 weeks!). Looking forward to not combing through all of the matting anymore! Though I will miss his shaggy look

Anyone else have other spring things they’re looking forward to or other distractions in the 2WW??

I’ve got crampy pains again today - is it too early for implantation?? Only 5DPO according to my app and Google says earliest its day 6 so it probably isn’t!!

Went out for a lovely walk today and pub lunch! Just Coke for me though although the gin and tonic was tempting!!

Hope you’re all enjoying a lovely weekend!

@JuniperAndTonic I'm also 5DPO - had crampy pains all yesterday evening - I also spent a long time googling implantation. It seems even implanting at 6DPO is only around 0.5% of all pregnancies, most are 8-10DPO I think so I don't think it's implantation, more likely just related to increased progesterone at this stage in the cycle.

I'm really struggling with the wait though, I think I'll be testing at 8DPO at this rate!

I'm also off out for dinner tonight, will be sticking to the diet coke just incase 😁

@IzzT it’s so confusing isn’t it - just our bodies and minds playing tricks on us! 😂

I’ve been thinking about when to test - husband said I should just wait and see if my period is late but I’m not sure I can wait that long! Been eyeing up cheap test strips on amazon...

Enjoy your dinner out! It’s so lovely to get out and feel normal again after months of lockdown!

@JuniperAndTonic my husband is just so relaxed about things, he's just like it'll happen when it happens... he has a lot more patience than me I actually made the mistake of buying some tests already so they're just sitting here tempting me!

How are those of you who are a little later in the tww getting on?

Glad everyone is ok! Like everyone, I'm just trying to keep myself distracted. I'm 9 dpo now. I've had an awful cough and cold for 3 weeks and the last week it's got so much worse so I've felt rotten. I've been really emotional the last couple of days but it's probably just because I'm fed up of feeling unwell!
It's going to take so much self-control but I'm not going to test until after AF is due which is this time next week. I generally feel much more relaxed this 2ww than the previous 2 cycles. I think I've just accepted it might take a while and I feel like I'm ok with that now. Really hope we see some BFP's on this thread over the next couple of weeks - exciting!! Anyone planning on testing soon?

@Daisyrobin123 so sorry to hear that you’re still under the weather!! Hopefully that clears up soon for you

@IzzT I’m really hoping that I don’t cave and buy tests early again this month! Now that I’m feeling the nausea and headache of progesterone at 5 DPO, I know my mind is going to start tempting me

@JuniperAndTonic A gin and tonic sounds heavenly! I’ve been doing some ginger beer and juice NA cocktails the last few months during the 2WW to trick myself into thinking life is normal

@dogmom0930 I keep telling myself that tomorrow is 6DPO so statistically I could implant from then on out so I think I'm going to be symptom spotting like crazy, up until now I've been able to tell myself scientifically I just cant be pregnant yet... Going to be a long next week!

So I caved and ordered some cheap pregnancy test strips on amazon today 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m still going to try and hold out until next weekend though I think! Don’t want to be too obsessive this early on 😂

I’m back on night shifts tonight, hopefully the next week will go quickly!!

Hope you’re all having a good day, how’s everyone feeling??

@JuniperAndTonic I'm exactly the same - got the tests ready - going to hold out until 8DPO at the earliest but will try and hold out until 10DPO! It's going to be hard though - I want to test already. I hope it gets easier after the first month 🤞

Hey ladies,

Well, 5dpo today for me today.(i think). This part is so long and cruel. I've been trying tondistracy myself which has been quite easy this week as ibe had a lot on with work, prepping to move house and prepping school appeal 🙈 but also been extra concious to not get stressed.

I also have some Internet cheapies sat in the wardrobe, I can feel them galling at me through the wardrobe door lol. Not too much longer til we can test now although it feels like forever x

How is everyone getting on? Any updates for ladies coming to the end of their TWW? I ovulated a week later than normal this month and BBT and LH strips indicate I'm probably on just 1DPO today. So I'm only just starting my TWW... I have no no patience! I know the next 14 days are going to drag! Any advice?

@charja100 oh no! It's such a long two weeks isn't it! Fingers crossed for you!

I'm 7DPO today. Felt weird overnight, kept waking up with hot flushes, probably nothing though as it's still early days. Probably going to end up testing from tomorrow though 😂

How is everyone else getting on?

I'm about 7 DPO as well. I felt mostly awful all weekend with indigestion, bloating and nausea. Also hung out with 4 pregnant friends yesterday at my sis's bridal shower. So that was a great reminder of where I'm at But I woke up today feeling almost normal with maybe occasional waves of slight dull ache in my boobs. For last month's CP, I think I felt twinges and cramping start around 10 DPO, so I'm sort of anxiously waiting for signs of that, assuming that was implantation as I suspect.

@IzzT and @dogmom0930 we’re halfway through the TWW! 💪🏻 I’ve been having cramps on and off too the last couple of days, slightly sore boobs and had terrible indigestion all day today but I’m working nights and it always messes with me and makes me feel weird so I don’t think they’re really symptoms! Can’t help wondering and over analysing though!

@JuniperAndTonic Yay to halfway! Fingers crossed for you! :) I still think it's so funny how we all hope to feel at least a little awful in this 2ww. One of the friends I saw this weekend is due in 3 weeks and is DEFINITELY ready to be done feeling awful

@JuniperAndTonic @dogmom0930 I've been feeling weird all day, been a bit lightheaded at times and had odd aches in my boobs, I don't usually get any pain there or at least I've never noticed it but it's still so early I doubt it's anything significant. I read the majority of people implant say 8-10 so we're not even at implant stage yet so couldn't have any HCG related symptoms.

Been at work today which has helped take my mind off things a bit though. Only a couple more days until we can start testing though!
