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?

Yer I know it was a bit tongue in cheek and I didn’t test from 7dpo but it really does feel like those two weeks are a year! I knew I was out once my ‘symptoms’ vanished and my cold appeared but then it’s still the long wait for AF and starting the next cycle 🤦‍♀️

roll on Feb and I hope we all get bfps not bfns 😊

So I bought some really cheap tests today, I'm 8DPO, and this line came up within 2 mins. I know I could have ovulated earlier, but due to CM, CP and ovulation pain, I was quite sure I'm 8dpo and that also ties in with my tracker apps. I should be happy but I'm so worried its a false positive....

This is it out of the case

@Hmeeg hmm that is very early but it’s not impossible! So fingers crossed 🤞🏻

That looks like a decent line for 8dpo, can def see colour! Congratulations x

It's just so early, and a cheap test which makes me think I shouldn't get my hopes up. I'll test again tomorrow and if I get another line I'll go buy a frer 😳😳😳

@Hmeeg that’s so exciting, I hope frer confirms! What symptoms did you have?

I think my gut was right and it was a dodgy test as today's looks like a bfn.... I'm only 9dpo today tho, so I'm getting some first response delivered and when they arrive I'll see what they say 😢
The top pic is yesterday the bottom one is today

@Hmeeg oh no, that’s so annoying! 😞

Hi girls

Hope everyone is ok.

@Hmeegsorry to see this, such a horrible feeling I hope you’re ok.

So I’m on CD 3 now and I’m going to use easy at home OPKs this month. When do I start testing? I’m normally 30 day cycle on average and ovulate around day 18

Morning girls

@MrsSB2023 i usually start using my CB OPK on CD 10 - was advised this by the hospital when I was taking letrozole. I’m CD7 so can start them soon!

@Hmeeg sorry to hear that, I hope you’re doing okay xxx

It just feels so cruel to get what looks like such a clear positive. I got a 2 pack of frer and I did one today which was negative but I was so impatient after they arrived that it was only a 2 hr hold at 10dpo and it was negative. So I've got the other one for tomorrow morning and I'm really hoping I have good news for you!!!!!!

@MrsSB2023 after this experience I wouldn't test until AF is late, but I can't talk because I'm literally incapable of doing that, which is why I'm in this awful tense waiting now until Tuesday xxx

@Hmeeg im going to hold off testing moving forwards until AF is due as I can’t deal with the disappointment and heartache now. It’s going to take willpower but DH usually orders the tests so tell him not to order until AF is due 😂😂 xx

@Luna0905 I don't blame you, I have 1 frer left and AF isn't due until Tuesday. I know I shouldn't bother testing but I'm sure I'll cave. I'll just have to give it to my dh to hide 😭

OK so, 11 DPO today and of course I tested 🤦‍♀️ I've looked at it too long. It looks like a bfn and then I stare at it for ages and I see a line. But there's no line 😢 I'm not out until AF arrives tho so here's to that ❤️

It’s still early - have everything crossed for you @Hmeeg xx

I’m now late, just waiting for it to arrive so I can start my new cycle! So fed up….always feel like I’m just waiting

Hi ladies, can I join? 7dpo currently trying for baby no3. Feel like I'm already out as I've woken up with cramps already 😫. Hate this bloody symptom tracking! Feel like it completely consumes you!

@Myperfectchaos are your tests all negative???

@Lizbiz89 welcome!!!! I hope the waiting goes quickly for you!!!!!!

Thanks @Hmeeg! Are you experiencing any symptoms? It's such a rollercoaster waiting. I really don't think we caught this month as we only dtd day before o and on the day. Promised myself I wouldn't test until a couple of days before my period. These cramps are not giving me much hope already.

Welcome @Lizbiz89 hope you can stay distracted for the next few days! xx

Thanks @Luna0905! Already quite disheartened as I feel very pmsy today. Very little cm and bloated and crampy. Had a little snot like cm this morning but that could be anything.

@Lizbiz89 I know it’s so disappointing but you’re not out until AF appears xxx
