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?

This was so exciting to log in to @IzzT Congratulations on your BFP!!!! I am so excited and happy for you!

@IzzT Yes I would leave a digital for a few days and like you say just keep using the cheapies. When is AF due? Ahh if all goes well we will be due around the same time 🥰🥰 Really hoping this is a lucky thread for others and some more join us in a few days!!

@Daisyrobin123 AF is due Monday I think - I usually have 27 day cycles but didn't O until CD15 so Premom is estimating Monday for AF but based on my 27 day cycle as usual it would actually be due tomorrow... Not sure what date to go off really?

@DeafChef1 thank you! I'm still in shock if I'm honest!

@dogmom0930 🤞 for some line darkening over the weekend, I think I'll feel a bit more confident then!

@IzzT and @Daisyrobin123 congratulations on your BFP's 🎉✨🤍 it's so nice to hear positive news! Fingers crossed for some more BFPs soon.

My app is saying I'm 6DPO now but the date shifted a few times her the course of the cycle so I don't really know I could be 8DPO or even 4 😂

I've felt some pricking on my left side which could be implantation. Or could be nothing lol.

What day do you think I should wait to test to?

Omg these last few days are like torture lol. 10dpo, due on in 4 or 5 days but I feel very pre-periody right now already. Feeling a bit queasy and exhausted and have a kind of period pain (really mild) type pressure in the bottom middle of my tummy, more in my pelvis actually. I'm convinced it's all in my head and af is just on her way but it's impossible to not get your hopes up isn't it! 🙈 my frer was negative this afternoon, couldn't resist a cheeky test but hoping it could just be too early. A gals gotta hang on to some hope lol. 💕 this thread seems to have been lucky so far so hope it continues!☺ Xx

No sorry I'm 9po. Getting a daybahwad of myself lol 😆

Congrats on all the BFP's, hoping they are darker positives for you soon xxxx

@charja100 thank you! I know it's contradictory of me to say this given I tested at 9DPO but honestly the stress last night of not knowing if it was just a dodgy test or a real positive was horrible - I'd recommend waiting at least another day or 2 if you can 🙈

@K8Tee still plenty of time for your BFP! Fingers crossed. I have those symptoms too - like a weird tugging in my uterus and intermittent cramps.

@IzzT yes it is like a mild sort of pulling sensation.

Fingers crossed. Trying not to get my hopes up as I do it every month and end up being disappointed but it's impossible not to hope 🤞🙂

@IzzT yeah I know what you mean but I'm supposed to be out on a bit of a boozy day with friends so don't want to go overboard if I shouldn't. Do you think Saturday morning would be too early to do a FRER? What does everyone else think, what would you do?

TIA x

@charja100 even with a negative test that doesn't mean you're out as your still before AF is due at the weekend. If you want to be safe then no alcohol, or at least very limited - but ultimately whatever you want to do to make you happy! You're still the most important person and you need to stay healthy and happy for any potential baby whether it's this month or next! 🥰

Morning ladies. Well 10dpo and negative first response this morning so not looking good again this month There's still time but obvs the later it gets the more hope is lost. :( still feeling quite sick and crampy so just hoping it isn't af on her way now (4 ish days) x

Morning all. Congrats on the definite BFP @IzzT! Fingers crossed for you @K8Tee

Hi ladies,
Hope you’re all doing okay!
BFN again for me this morning at 11DPO!

Sorry to hear yours was negative as well @K8Tee.

I’m already thinking about next cycle as I’m pretty sure I’m out for this month! Told husband we’d have to DTD more month to maximise our chances - he didn’t object 😂
Period due on Monday and then I can move on!!

Hope we can still keep chatting on this thread and those who get their BFP keep updating us too!

Sorry for your bfn @JuniperAndTonic too. I've been reading and it could still just mean that we implanted a bit later. Here's to hoping xx

Sorry for your bfns @JuniperAndTonic and @K8Tee! I’m 11dpo and also tested negative this morning. I’m just baffled though. I had nausea most of the morning to early afternoon yesterday and woke up with it again today. Headache some yesterday and just feel like garbage in general today. If this is my body playing tricks, it should win an Oscar 😜

@JuniperAndTonic and @K8Tee hope you guys get your BFPs soon!

@dogmom0930 I get worse before my BFP. Felt bloated and nauseated for a couple of days. Today I feel completely normal so that makes me a little worried 😂

@IzzT I think I read on this forum at one point that that has happened to others who went on to have a full healthy pregnancy! I hope that this turns into my BFP like you!!

@dogmom0930 I have the exact same symptoms! Nausea and headache all day yesterday, a bit better today but it’s still there! I’m baffled! But I would’ve thought if the HCG was high enough to cause symptoms it would show on a test? Who knows! It’s so confusing!!

@JuniperAndTonic My thoughts exactly! Hoping it just means that we're not too far from our BFPs!

@dogmom0930 I hope so! I’d like to say I’m not going to test again unless AF is late but I know I’ll be testing again tomorrow morning 😅

There's still time for BPFs @JuniperAndTonic and @dogmom0930 - you can implant up to 12DPO and then you wouldn't get a positive test until 48 hours after then.

So comparing my internet cheapy line progression this evening. There's 48 hours between these two tests - anyone know if this looks about right for progression? I still feel like it's still pretty light, but I'm not really sure when I should expect it to be as dark as the control line?

@IzzT it's meant to double every 48 hours and that looks doubly strong to me.

6DPO today and really hoping work stress isn't affecting me. I work in tech and had a product coming out today with loads of last minute changes, was working until 1am last night then couldn't sleep then been working straight since 7am. And I still have more to do 🙁
My mood is pants, my boobs hurt and all I can think of is that this isn't going to help my chances.
Already pissing on sticks though, and I swear I can see something but it's more likely my mind is playing tricks on me as it's too early.

@Lalala1985 oh no! Sounds like work is very busy at the moment. I know stress can play a part in TTC but just think of how many people get accidentally pregnant when they're stressed/drinking/unwell etc. The body can do amazing things even under stress. Feel free to post a pic if you want opinions on possible lines 🥰 and keep smiling - now your product has launched hopefully things will settle a little bit!
