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?

[dogmom0930]

Welcome @DeafChef1! Oh goodness you have patience How have you been feeling? Fingers crossed for your BFP!!

[DeafChef1]

@IzzT I tested once on 10DPO at night (I have no idea why I didn't wait for first morning urine) I couldn't see anything. It was a dollar store cheapie! DH said don't trust it and just be patient and wait. So that is what I am doing.

Thank you for the positive support and well wishes. Same to you!!!!

[DeafChef1]

@dogmom0930 No patience what so ever. But I am scared of seeing anymore BFNs so I think I am just super nervous. Lol I have no major symptoms other than slight lower back pain, intense hunger (only for certain foods, so cravings) and sleepiness. I am super tired! Thank you for the positive thoughts and crossed fingers.

I have to go back and read! Are you still in the 2WW or do you have a BFP already?

[dogmom0930]

@DeafChef1 Those sound like positive signs if they're not normal for you!!

I am in the 2ww, 9 DPO. I had a CP last month and am fairly sure I felt implantation at 9 DPO for that one. So, I'm trying hard not to read too much into that if it does or doesn't happen today. I'm planning to test late this weekend at the earliest if I notice any nausea/dizziness like I had last month. But I can definitely feel myself getting antsy and nervous that it might not be my month. I keep telling myself that if it isn't, at least I can drink at my sister's wedding in a few weeks and maybe even do a weekend away without having to deal with nausea We shall see!

[DeafChef1]

@dogmom0930 That is a good thought I have the same thoughts if this is not a BFP month then at least when we go out of the county I can at least have a drink and just relax.

Well sticky baby dust to you and I hope we can both walk away with BFPs.....and if not at least we can both have a drink soon! LOL

[dogmom0930]

Thanks @DeafChef1! And cheers to that!!

Hi @DeafChef1 you should definitely test tomorrow if your period hasn’t come - looking forward to seeing the result and sending baby dust your way 😀

I don’t feel great this evening, not sure if I’m just tired but irrationally angry with husband tonight and he’s down nothing wrong bless him 😂 don’t know how they put up with us!! Probably PMS so I don’t think this is my month 😔

[Daisyrobin123]

@IzzT I would love to hang around if that's ok!

@extrababydust123 I would give it a go if it doesn't happen this month! We DTD from the 9th-16th (I got my peak ovulation reading on the 15th). Don't get me wrong - it was tiring and a couple of nights we definitely could have passed on it but we wanted to try and see if it worked!

@K8Tee Thank you lovely! Sending lots of baby dust your way!! x

@dogmom0930 Thank you so much. I still can't believe it. Excited but also trying to be realistic and just hoping it turns out ok! You were right and I really, really wasn't expecting it.

@charja100 Thank you! Fingers crossed for your BFP soon!! If you're only a few days into your 2ww then it could well be implantation spotting.

It's like now my brain has confirmed the BFP, symptoms have come from nowhere left, right and centre. The worst one is a heightened sense of smell, so many things making me feel nauseous. I'm sure this is just a placebo symptom but I'm hoping it doesn't stick around!

[DeafChef1]

@JuniperAndTonic Don't count yourself out just yet. Try to play nice with husband though! Maybe a game! We played the Game of life a few nights ago and we had so much fun together just not thinking about TTC or the 2WW. Husband had 8 kids and no room for them in his little car while we were playing.

Baby dust to you and think positive thoughts! We are not out until AF arrives!

[dogmom0930]

@DeafChef1 Oh that's such a good idea! I haven't played Life in ages! Too funny with the 8 kids 🤣

[DeafChef1]

Hi everyone! Isn't it ironic how as a younger girl/woman you are spending this time waiting for AF and now we are spending this time hoping that AF just miraculously doesn't show up?!?!?!!?

Here are some of my 2WW activities that I participate in to get my mind off the WAIT:

• Crossword puzzles
  
• Coloring books
  
• Painting with Spouse
  
• Scrabble
  
• Baking Homemade cakes
  
• Organizing my closet to make room for my Spirit Baby's arrival
  
• redecorating my patio (this was the most fun activity)

[DeafChef1]

@dogmom0930 It was super fun. He had 8 kids and I (JOKINGLY) told him I was filing for a divorce because he had 8 kids! I called his mother and everything! She was like where did he get the kids from? I laughed too hard to tell her it was a game!

[JuniperAndTonic]

Thank you for your kind words @DeafChef1 - I know I’m not out yet and even if I was it’s still early days for me so focussing on that! Board games is a great idea - I love game of life!! I also love making my imaginary family on the Sims haha!

[dogmom0930]

@DeafChef1 Excellent ideas! And I agree -- waiting for something to NOT be there seems so backwards! It's equally comical to me that this wait is on the shoulders of the natural over-thinkers of the sexes. But definitely a character builder if I'm looking for the silver lining

[IzzT]

Urgent opinions required! I was stupid again and thought I'd try an evening test... I swear I see something but maybe I'm imagining it... I'm only 9DPO so if there was something it'd be super faint right? 🤞

[JuniperAndTonic]

I can definitely see something @IzzT!! Fingers crossed it’s the start of something 🤞🏻

[DeafChef1]

@IzzT It is there, but super faint......but it should be. try your best to wait and test around 12DPO with FMU so you can get the urine that isn't diluted if you are drinking tons of water.

@dogmom0930 How true that is! Definitely a character builder for sure.

[IzzT]

@JuniperAndTonic and @DeafChef1 thanks for your quick replies! Hahaha Im amazed you think I can hold out until 12DPO to test again.... I literally tested twice on 9DPO 🙈 Im clearly a POAS addict 😬

Definitely want to see a darker line before I tell hubby though - I feel like he wouldn't even be able to see it right now 😂 will test with FMU I think and see what I get. I might try and pick up some FRER too as these are only cheapy ones.

[dogmom0930]

Eeeek! Definitely see the start to a line. Fingers crossed for you @IzzT!!! Keep us posted! Maybe just another 2-3 days until your BFP

[Daisyrobin123]

@IzzT I can see something for sure! Yes it would be faint for 9 DPO. Fingers crossed it gets darker 🤞🌷 Does it look pink in real life? x

[IzzT]

@Daisyrobin123 yeah it's definitely pink and there. Also took a clearblue 6 day early one and there's a faint blue line on that one so don't think it's an evap/indent. Just hoping it darkens now and is a chemical or whatever.

@dogmom0930 ooh I hope so... really shouldn't have tested early, I feel even more stressed now 😂

[IzzT]

Oops meant to say "isn't a chemical" in the last message 😬

[JuniperAndTonic]

@IzzT that sounds so so promising!! 🤞🏻 I just went for a wee and was so tempted to do a test after reading your post 😂 but holding out for that FMU tomorrow!!

[Tangfastic91]

@IzzT I see it really clearly! Hope the line gets darker soon :)

[IzzT]

@Tangfastic91 aah thank you! Thought I was going made for a moment! Kept turning it in every light to make sure it was real 😂
