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?

Yes I had the same freezing for last two days now hot 😅 I’m 8dpo too 😩 what’s going on haha

Oh god I hear you! Can’t stop the symptom spotting haha.
im starving too 😅
good luck for tomorrows test 🥰
baby dust to everyone x

Also I just have to say that trying to get pregnant is weird. This is the only time ever that I’m like ‘oh hope my boobs get really veiny and I get a spotty face’ 😅🤭

@Sophie3839 i know it’s so random. Any bit of wind and I’m like awwww this is it 😂😂😂

Ladies, I have 2 different apps which track my periods and ovulation. Both have the exact same dates for my periods going back well over a year. And yet one has me at 5 dpo and the other has me at 3 dpo. I'm not using opks to determind ovulation so just going by CM and cervical position. One is the flo app which is very popular and the other is a generic periods calendar. Has anyone used the flo app which puts me at 5 DPO and is it accurate??

@Hmeeg I use Flo it's been accurate for my period but not for my ovulation this is my first cycle it had me ovulating on day 11 but I used ovulation tests and got 😊 on cycle day 15 for ovulation, even though I have updated my ovulation it still says my Af is due next week but it's actually Sunday because I have a 27 day cycle. So I haven't found it accurate for ovulation hope that's helps

@Carysmatic aw I know it's not easy when u feel like that, I had a bit of that today too just nervous for AF day. Hopefully this our month 💕💕

Hi 👋🏼 I’d love to join!
I’m 9 or 10dpo today. Got excited did a test last night and got a squinter. I’m trying to hold out until the morning to do FRER. Got a lot of symptoms and had some spotting on Wednesday and today.
Glad I’ve found this group, been going crazy not being able to talk to anyone apart from hubby! I’ve been TTC for 3 years for 1st baby and this is the first time I’ve even had a faint line and any symptoms but trying not to get my hopes up too much. Hoping everyone gets their BFPs xxx

@Luna0905 oh how exciting!! Remember to keep us updated.

i was just driving to my sons karate and got like a shooting almost muscle pull kinda pain that lasted for a wee minute…but it was like in my lower back anyone else had anything like that…I’m 7dpo so probably just making stuff up in my head haha

@Myperfectchaos absolutely will do, look forward to hearing everyone else’s updates too!

I had some weird shooting cramps in my lower back and had dull cramps all day yesterday and today xx

I think it's the same for me, definitely accurate for my period but not ovulation. I will have to start opks I think!!!

Welcome @Luna0905 you’re the same as me then, I’m 10DPO tomorrow going to do a FRER in the morning. Had really bad cramps today though like AF is imminent!

@MrsSB2023 thank you 🤗 yes I’ve had cramps all day too, really hoping it’s not AF.
Keep us updated in the morning! xx

We’ll todays update is that I now have a raging cold. My sniffle turned out to just be actual illness! Totally explains the runny nose, sore throat, hot and chills, needing to pee, back pain, sore boobs and bleeding gums (must be run down as I never get that). Also been super hungry with a cold so eating lots leading to bloating 🤷🏼‍♀️
As soon as I got Ill all my ‘symptoms’ went. Feel ok about it though, just glad I didn’t have 8 more days of thinking I was pg when just brewing a cold 🥶 doh 🤦‍♀️

Evening ladies, I've been feeling crap all day, really wiped out and tired and just generally not well and it turns out I have tonsillitis, I've been asleep since DD went to bed at half 7! Difficult to symptom spot when most likely everything I'm feeling right now is down to the tonsillitis.

@Hmeeg I use Flo and though it is more or less right for my periods I feel like it was off with my ovulation. This is the first month I've used OPKs and actually pinpointed ovulation and it actually happened a few days later than my Flo app said. I think if you're tracking your CM and cervical position then hopefully that'll give you a better idea of when you ovulated rather than the apps. I think they just basically work off of averages and maybe have slightly different algorithms which is why they can vary from app to app.

@Luna0905 welcome to our little group! Sorry to hear your TTC journey has taken so long. I'm really hoping your faint line is the beginning of your BFP! Looking forward to hearing the results of your FRER tomorrow morning. Are you able to share a picture of you're squinter see if we can see anything too?

✨✨✨

Sorry to hear some of you are feeling rubbish- wishing you speedy recoveries!

Not much to report from me today- still constant cramps which I’ve had for days. Something is going on down there, not sure what yet!

Morning girls

I woke up at 5am needing a wee so I tested and I’ve got a very very faint line, came up straight away and it’s pink so I’m pretty sure it’s not an indent. I can’t get a proper pic it’s not picking up properly on my phone (looks pale in pic but it’s definitely got colour) 🙈
I’m only 9/10 DPO but had to do it today because I’m supposed to be going out tonight! Going to test again tomorrow, if it’s positive I’ll be astounded as I really didn’t think we were in with a chance this month!

Please ignore the false tan on my fingers 😂

Ah exciting! I find pictures are so hard to see because the quality is always rubbish! Fingers crossed u see some progression on tomorrows test!!

im itching to test but it’s still too early! Might do a cheapy one Just for no reason haha

@Myperfectchaos haha! I started peeing on OPKs a few days ago just for the fun of it 😂

Woohoo yes I see a line! Congratulations :)
still full of cold here and all symptoms gone. Think I’m out for this month but I’ll be keeping an eye out for more bfps ❤️
baby dust to all x

@MrsSB2023 Oooo I think I see something! Very faint but then it is only early days! Congratulations! Hope you start getting a darker line soon!

I'm too scared to test this early, I may test on Monday but I dunno yet! I'll see how long I can hold out until. Still feeling like crap this morning but that's all down to the tonsillitis. At least hubby is home so I can have a day in bed to recover

Sorry ladies I’ve been lurking but not posting after a hectic week at work. Congratulations @MrsSB2023 ! What a fabulous start to the weekend :)

Hope you’re feeling better this morning @Carysmatic @Sophie3839 there’s seems to be a lot of nasty illnesses at the moment still!

@MrsSB2023 I definitely see something there!! That’s so exciting! let us know how your line progression is!

I woke up around 6 desperate to pee so did a FRER and definitely got a darker line than Thursday. It’s quite hard to see in the pic but DH agrees it’s darker in person. I couldn’t even get it to show in a pic at all from 2 days ago.

Must be around 9/10/11dpo so still very early. I don’t really have a clue this month when I ovulated as we were taking a break from OPK and Letrozole while we were on holiday from new year until mid jan 🙈😂 dtd every single day on holiday pretty much 😂

i’ll hold out until Monday morning to test again, hopefully will be darker then xxx

Thanks girls! I won’t believe it til I see a dark line. Had bad cramping yesterday but nothing today and feel really nauseous this morning.
@Carysmatic sorry to hear you’re not well tonsillitis is awful 😞 hope you’re feeling better soon xx
