TWW 1dpo today - who's with me?

[Carysmatic]

Hello!

Im just at the start of my TWW!

TTC cycle 1 (unofficially 6months)
Baby number 2 (DD is 2.5yrs old)
CD 18
Cycle length approx 25-29days long
1DPO today
AF due approx 31/1

Me and DH have been unofficially TTC baby number 2 for about 6months, so basically not been using any protection but not tracking my cycles either and just leaving it up to fate. However this month I've been doing OPKs and got a positive test on Wednesday and then a spike in my BBT this morning so pretty sure I can pin point my ovulation at some point yesterday putting me at about 1dpo today! DH and I have been DTD regularly throughout my fertile window this month so feeling hopeful!

Who wants to join me for the TWW?

Bump

Hey 👋🏼

I am 2 DPO today and due AF 1st Feb. Be nice to have a buddy!

Hey @MrsSB2023 how you doing? Have you been TTC for long? And have you had any other pregnancies to compare feelings in the TWW with? All I rennet from early pregnancy with my DD is really sore boobs! Bit early for any symptom watching just yet though!

Hiya @Carysmatic

So this will be number 4 for me, I have 3 DSs already to a previous marriage and DH has 2 DSs but we have none together, so technically will be number 6! Must be mad 😂

This is our first month not being careful but not holding out much hope as DH was working away the 2 nights after I got my peak (typical)!

My cycles are normally 31 days and I’m on CD 21 today. I’ve started using the CB digital OPKs and this is my log
CD 10-14 empty circle
CD 14 BD
CD 15 flashing smiley
CD 15 BD
CD 16-17 DH away
CD 18 lots of EWCM and libido high
CD 18 BD
CD 19 BD

I definitely feel like I ovulated on CD18 but we didn’t have a chance to BD immediately before it so not getting my hopes up!

My youngest is 11 and I don’t really remember much about the TWW with him other than directly before I got my BFP I didn’t feel pregnant at all!

How about you?

I definitely thought AF was imminent when I was pregnant with DD! I was so convinced I wasn't pregnant as I had period like cramps but took a test and was pregnant so I guess it just goes to show how similar early pregnancy signs are to AF symptoms!

My hubby was also away for a night when I was ovulating but got my positive OPK the morning before he left and we managed a quicky before he left but I would have liked another go the day after I got the positive OPK but oh well! There is still a good chance though so feeling hopeful 🤞🏻

Hey! I think I'm 9dpo but didn't use ovulation tests this month but compared to other months and my EWD I think I'm about 9dpo give or take. Clue app says AF is due Monday so I'll test then. Anyone had any symptoms yet?

@ukMummyof1 Hii! I'm only 2DPO at the minute so probably a bit early for any symptoms! Have you had any symptoms that may be pregnancy related yet? If you're 9dpo you could probably do a test soon! Or are you going to wait for AF to be late? X

Ooo exciting! Will this be your first baby? I'm still breastfeeding my nearly 10 month old and over the last couple of days I have started pumping as he's beginning to start biting😳😂 I have boob pain but really unsure whether it's related to that or not but I usually NEVER have boob pain. Otherwise I'm having headaches when I usually only get those when I'm ovulating. I had an ectopic pregnancy in July and had surgery to remove my right tube and also have pcos so know this could be a journey😩xx

@Carysmatic I’ve had period cramps every day since ovulation and having yellow EWCM now. Obviously not pg symptoms but you know what it’s like analysing everything 😂 Hopefully you’ve managed to catch the egg!
@ukMummyof1 hiya 😊 exciting your test day is not far away!

@ukMummyof1 this will be my second, DD is going to be 3 in April!

Sorry to hear about your ectopic, that must have been really scary and upsetting for you! How long did it take you to conceive the first time round with your DS?

@MrsSB2023 I know! So hard not to analyse everything straight away. Like I've had low level nausea since ovulation but it's definitely too early to be a pregnancy symptom! All in my head really! Though I did have really bad morning sickness when pregnant with DD which started when I was about 4-5weeks pregnant so it was a really early symptom for me but only kicked in after I'd had my BFP! Are you an early tester or do you wait until AF is due? Xx

@Carysmatic I’m going to try and wait until the 1st but that probably won’t happen 😂 there’s a slim chance this month and we have a few birthdays and weddings so not putting too much pressure this month and hopefully next month we can be a bit more proactive around the fertile time!

@Carysmatic I conceived DS second month after coming off the pill. I'm test tomorrow at 10dpo but not expecting anything but can only hope❤️ I try not to symptom spot everything but defo easier said than done😂

@ukMummyof1 fingers crossed for you! You'll have to let us know when you're testing xx

Hello everyone, I am 4DPO due AF on 3rd of feb this is our first time ttc lovely to see people are on the same time line..baby dust for us all

Welcome to our little group @Babydustthisyear

BFN this morning and think AF is coming... good luck ladies, hope you all get your BFP❤️❤️

@ukMummyof1 oh no sorry to hear that! It is still early though. Fingers crossed for you that AF stays away xx

@ukMummyof1 sorry about your BFN, you're not out completely until AF shows! Could still be a little early just yet, when is AF actually due? And I can't remember if you actually pin pointed your ovulation? Because you could also have ovulated later than you thought so could still be in with a chance! 🤞🏻

I'm 3dpo today and not really feeling any symptoms yet. I was super tired last night but I think that's just because I had a busy week last week. AF due in 10days, I'm going to try and hold off until the 30th before testing which I the day before AF is due! I'm not going to give in too early and test! 🙈🤞🏻

Hey guys, I am 1-2 DPO today. TTC baby number 4.
eldest is 16 and youngest is 2 (nearly 3)
I feel like the last ones I just sneezed and fell pregnant somehow!

I am on cycle 5 now so hoping this is the one!

just started using ovulation strips this month and I’m not 100% sure I’m doing it right/following them correctly but we shall see.

2ww is a nightmare for me, convince myself I’m pregnant every month without fail.

has anyone else had a relatively low “peak” on ovulation strips?

its so nice seeing these groups to keep me sane during the 2ww my hubby just doesn’t get the stress 🤣

Hi @Myperfectchaos

My eldest is 17 and I’m TTC #4 too! I’ve literally got pg so quickly every time but I’m well aware I’m not getting any younger and it may take longer this time.
I’ve only just started using the CB digital this month as this is our first month TTC. I only had one day flashing smiley before I got the solid smiley but then didn’t actually FEEL like I ovulated for 48 hours after it (guidance says 12-36 hours) so not sure how reliable they are or whether they’ve just picked up the very start of my LH surge so may move to the non digital ones bevy month if this month isn’t successful!
I think I’m 4 DPO today and have had cramps every day, last night they were bad enough I had to take paracetamol but I’m not sure whether it’s just related to the end of ovulation? Seems too soon to be related to AF as not due until 1st Feb.
Symptom spotting takes over your life 🙈😂
I had the coil out in October and we’ve had a few ‘accidents’ up until this month where we have actively been TTC so every month I’ve convinced myself I’m pg.

@Carysmatic I might test with you on 30th which will be the day before AF is due for me

@Carysmatic hang on no it won’t it’ll be two days before 😂 I think I’ll try and hold on til 1st

@Carysmatic I'm due on tomorrow and I didn't test for ovulation this month but had EWCM on the 10th and ovulation pain and EWCM on the 11th so thinking if I ovulated on the day of/day after the pain it works out as 10/11dpo. TMI but I usually get a load yellow cm a day before or day of AF and I had that today so I'm thinking it's over this month sadly. Roll on next month xxx

Can I join in please ?! I think I am 1DPO based on ovary twinges and EWCM. First month of trying after a chemical last month just after Xmas. TTC baby #2 as already have a little boy who will be 3 in April!

hopefully this becomes a thread of BFPs! xx
