Hey ladies 👋🏻

Back once again 😅 starting my two week wait tomorrow and wondering if there's anyone wanting to hop on this thread and keep each other company?

Short and sweet version for me is 17 cycles trying with two early MC's Oct and Nov of 2021. Hoping this cycle brings us our little rainbow 🌈

I'm 12dPO and in the TWW.

Think i could have had implantation bleeding two days ago... OR it's the start of my period lol. Took a pregnancy test yesterday lunchtime out of pure impatience and it was negative - but apparently that would be too early to tell?

So fingers crossed for no period on Friday and I'll test again then!

Last week I was fine but this week I'm really going crazy!

lollyx96 · 01/03/2022 06:50

Hello I'd like to join 👋🏼

I'm TTC for the first time. My TWW will start tomorrow! Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏽

dani9031 · 01/03/2022 06:53

Hi hope it's okay to join. I'm currently 3DPO and feeling nervous/excited to test. This is cycle #2 TTC baby number 3. Sending hope to you all xx

Bluemilan · 01/03/2022 09:52

Hello everyone, hope it's ok for me to join? Currently 2dpo - yawn.
Hoping to hold out until at least 10dpo to test.
This is cycle 2 ttc #4. I seem to get pregnant quite quickly but we've had 8 miscarriages over the years and two babies born at 23 weeks that sadly couldn't stay with us so this whole process is quite stressful 😩
Baby dust to us all Thanks

allthingssparkly · 01/03/2022 10:44

5dpo, ttc baby 3 🤍 patiently waiting till 10dpo to test 🤞 baby dust ladies ⭐

andpeggy1 · 01/03/2022 12:02

Morning so I'm 4DPO. Ttc First born, after an early miscarriage in December. In all honestly I don't think this is going to be our month as we have kinda tried but not too much, but you never know.
I'm actually also quite scared, just because we had been trying for 9 months before and within 4 hours of getting a positive test I started heavily bleeding and miscarried.

Sharkie23 · 01/03/2022 12:47

13 DPO, waiting for my IC's to be delivered, hopefully tommorow! Also hoping for my rainbow after 2 MC last year xx

Bluemilan · 01/03/2022 13:39

The tww madness has already struck for me, currently googling egg fertilisation and hoping the sperm went into the right Fallopian tube 😂 help

That did give me a giggleGrin
Geemmm · 01/03/2022 18:57

Aw ladies so lovely to hear from you all ☺️ I'm also trying for baby #1

I'm 1 DPO/CD 16 today and we've DTD everyday for last 3 days over highest period so hoping we've caught it this month 🤞🏻

Last two times I got my BFP I tested at 12dpo so hoping I can hold out to then 🤪 when are you all gonna test?

Bluemilan · 01/03/2022 19:30

@Geemmm 👋🏼

I'm hoping to hold out until at least 10dpo but the serial tester in me will probably start getting the itch around 7dpo 😂. Last month I used opks after BFN purely just to see two lines on something Blush

Geemmm · 01/03/2022 19:40

@Bluemilan been there with the opks 😅 'just to check' is usually my thing while my OH is looking at me like I've lost the plot!

10dpo is probably when I'll get the itch and cave 😅 I always try and hang out the that 12dpo as feel it's my lucky number now 🙈

Which tests do you use?

OP posts:
Bluemilan · 01/03/2022 19:47

@Geemmm I wish I had the patience to wait until 12dpo but I already know I'll have caved around 5 times by that point! I just use internet cheapies and then if I think I've seen something I'll get a FRER. it's too costly otherwise 😂 what about you?

I don't even tell DH how often I test because I think he'd think I've lost the plot!

Brideandprejudice · 01/03/2022 19:53

Hello everyone, hope I can join in!
I'm wondering when does the TWW start? My app says I'm in the fertile window now and I should ovulate in 3 days. It's my first time!

sunflowers90 · 01/03/2022 20:02

Hi everyone! 👋 Hope it’s ok to join you.

3DPO and already losing my mind! Second cycle trying for baby #1 after an ectopic last summer. Feeling a little anxious but trying to stay positive. We tried three times during the window, not sure it was enough so I feel ya @andpeggy1 !

Been Googling all sorts of mad stuff while my OH is so chill about the whole thing 🙃

Sorry so many of you have had losses - it makes it so hard.

Sending hope and luck to you all! ✨🌈

Bluemilan · 01/03/2022 20:43

@sunflowers90 👋🏼

We also didn't do great over fertile window but hoping we've done enough!

With you on the crazy googling, I've even been looking for actual pictures of eggs being fertilised. I need a distraction! I just wish we would have a peak and see what's going on, the tww kills me every time. I start the day super chilled and by the evening I'm a mess 😂

Glad we're all in this together!

Bluemilan · 01/03/2022 20:47

@Brideandprejudice the tww starts from the day after ovulation - if you have a regular 28 day cycle it's usually around cd15but it can vary! Opk's and temping can give more accurate dates, but if it's your first cycle I'd recommend just seeing what happens at first if you can as it can all get abit stressful

Nyxxie · 01/03/2022 21:13

I'm 6DPO and googling every little symptom even though I know it's too early to tell! I was planning to wait until 12DPO to test but as that is a Monday I will probably cave and do it on the Sunday (11DPO). Seems such a long way away!

FreckledMouse · 01/03/2022 21:19

8/9 DPO today
Have had a headache for two days and a wave of awful nausea today.
After two losses though I'm not super hopeful
This is our first cycle after MC.
Trying to hold off testing till Saturday 😬🤞🏼✨

Geemmm · 01/03/2022 21:20

@Bluemilan I usually use clear blue but since everyone rates FRER I've been using them recently. My BFPs came with a clear blue so think that's why I prefer them lol! I also have easy@home cheapies but I don't think they are that great

OP posts:
Bluemilan · 01/03/2022 21:33

@Geemmm I've always had cheaper tests in the house because it's just way too expensive! In the past I've used the strips from Poundland and they've been good, I've had previous BFP at 9dpo with them. We've been at this so long I can't keep pouring money into the tests 🙈. I also find FRER have awful indents that really used to get my hopes up so I prefer being able to squint as much as I want on cheap ones until there's actually something on it 🤣

@FreckledMouse eeeeek! That sounds promising! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for you! I definitely would have caved multiple times by now

@Nyxxie 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

How exciting we have people testing soon! Fingers crossed for lots of BFP's on this thread!

We've already discussed carrying on trying next cycle if we don't manage it now. My birthdays in December so it would be lovely to have a newborn then too 🤞🏼. What are all your thoughts? (Even though we're all definitely going to be pregnant this cycle, obviously).

sunflowers90 · 02/03/2022 13:05

@Bluemilan aww yes that would be the perfect birthday present! Lol same! I also googled something like “sperms journey to egg”. Hahaha.

I’ve always used Clearblue tests but might try FRER this time as I’ve heard good things. How many DPO do you all normally wait? I’ve not had a positive result until after AF due before but will be hard not to test early this time round!

Also… what do you folks use to track your cycle? I’m using Flo but wondering whether it’s got day of ovulation right. I got a smiley face Friday evening (negative Friday morning) so it reckoned Saturday. Do you think that sounds about right? DTD Sunday, hoping wasn’t too late… 😬

Hoping this is our month ladies! So nice to have some people in the same boat to talk to about it.

allthingssparkly · 02/03/2022 13:08

Trying to hold out till this weekend when I'll be 10/11dpo to test ⭐

Don't want to wish time away but this weekend needs to hurry! 🤭

Brideandprejudice · 02/03/2022 13:38

@Bluemilan thank you! I plan to see how it goes to start with, but didn't want to test too early as be disappointed

lollyx96 · 03/03/2022 08:09

@sunflowers90 I'm using flo too! I got a static Monday afternoon (flashing in the morn) and positive LH strip Tuesday so flo reckons Wednesday for me but not sure! DTD mon tues weds and I'm knackered haha hoping I've caught 🤞🏽
