The TWW begins - testing 11/12 Feb.

Hi all

I’ve commented on a few threads but thought I would start a new one for anyone who may have ovulated over the weekend and now starting the TWW? Officially 1DPO today.

This is our first cycle trying to conceive #1. I came off the pill a few weeks ago, had my normal withdrawl bleed. Had flashing smileys last week with the static appearing on Saturday. I will assume I ovulated yesterday as I had a fair few cramps.

Anyone else in the same boat?

@Lauraboymum sorry to hear that - sounds like it was a tough morning for you. Sending big hugs. I know what you mean about not wanting to skip months. Maybe see how you feel around ovulation and take it from there... Xx

@Twoinapod how lovely! Congratulations! Hope it all progresses well for you! 🥰

@Ks2023 I'm afraid I really don't know much about the indent/evap stuff... If you can bear to be patient then I'd wait until Sat and hopefully it'll be a nice strong line then that leaves you in no doubt!

Still plodding on here... Think I'm now 7/8dpo...?! This cycle seems to be taking forever!

@Twoinapod
You and me both

@VictoriaBlossom congratulations again!! (Just said it on another thread but seemed rude to ignore it here 😜)

Hopefully this baby dust will be contagious!!

VictoriaBlossom · 14/02/2023 10:30

@SnookyPook I genuinely thought I was out

Thank you

🙏🏻 sending good vibes and baby dust to everyone

Twoinapod · 14/02/2023 11:10

@VictoriaBlossom eek congratulations. I really thought I was out this month too. I’m currently equal parts panic and excitement. This is number 3 but was expecting it to take longer

EMcG3 · 14/02/2023 11:33

Aw, I am excited to see our late positives! @VictoriaBlossom , @Twoinapod

@Lauraboymum - I really felt what you wrote - when you get told, and told and told again that you were not successful this time around and are like "ok, ok, enough, I get it". I hope that a month (or two) is your time.

Soda123x · 14/02/2023 13:42

So ..... I've been really really patient not testing until today as I can have cycles anywhere from 28-34 days. Today I am CD30.

I know it is still very early and I have also tested positive for Covid yesterday 🙈 (still have to test due to work etc..) I'm not poorly with it, just a sore throat 🤞 this little bean sticks xx

PS ive got a little bit or reassurance for now as this is quite a strong line to say not FMU. I had literally been to the loo like 2hrs previous xx

Soda123x · 14/02/2023 13:43

Congratulations to all the others with BFPs ❤

And still got my 🤞 for everyone else still waiting xx

SnookyPook · 14/02/2023 15:43

@Soda123x congratulations! Amazing!! Loving all the BFPs!! AF due here Sunday or Monday so bit further behind with my cycle... I feel like maybe just maybe a little bean is implanting today as I have my pre-period type cramps but too early in the cycle compared to normal. Not testing yet though.. will see how things develop. Hoping all the lovely babydust going round on this thread is contagious!

Soda123x · 14/02/2023 16:11

@SnookyPook 🤞 for you hun xx

I have absolutely no symptoms. Not worried about that though as luckily I didn't have any with DS and he is a very happy healthy nearly 3 YO. I'm hoping for a very similar pregnancy. No sickness, nausea, aches or pains all the way through xx

Kittenmum89 · 14/02/2023 20:57

Congratulations for all the BFP on this chat, seems this is the lucky place to be.

im currently 11dpo still getting cramping and sharp shooting pains. Holding out to rest until tomorrow or Thursday though.

SnookyPook · 15/02/2023 09:50

@Soda123x ah that sounds like a dream pregnancy! Mine with DS was quite similar tbf! Keep hoping I will be lucky again!

@Kittenmum89 aw good luck! You're a couple of days ahead of me. At least very soon you should know for definite one way or another. Fingers crossed it'll be a BFP!

Kittenmum89 · 15/02/2023 18:58

I took a test today BFN. But only on cycle day 23 usually have 28 days cycles. So might be a bit early. Used a clearblue. Think I may try again at weekend with a FRER. But have feeling I’m out this month.

Ks2023 · 16/02/2023 17:13

What do u think? Evap? Indent?

Tophy124 · 16/02/2023 19:57

@Ks2023 Ive had an identical line before on clear blue and wasn’t pregnant. Did you dip or pee on the stick? Hopefully you are! I won’t use them or FRER anymore tho as have had too many false positives

EMcG3 · 16/02/2023 22:57

@Ks2023 - I am not good at the line guessing game but I have my fingers crossed for you! Let us know how it goes.

madeofcodes · 17/02/2023 13:30

@Mushroo how are things going?

I'm now on CD6. My app is saying next Saturday is Ovulation day, and I'm not buying any OPK's this time around. Just going to DTD every couple of days but especially around next weekend.

How is everyone for this cycle? Do we start a new thread for early March testers?

Kittenmum89 · 17/02/2023 15:31

Thats me out ladies, AF arrived today 3 days early !

Not good 🙈 cycle day 36 here and definitely not pregnant!

From perusing threads on here I think it might be the pregnacare vitamins I started this cycle. My GP was lovely and I’m having blood tests on Monday.

Count me in for a March thread when AF finally decides to show up!

Went too early 😂 Count me in for March testing! DH and I have had a chat today and decided we will try this month and skip next month as we ideally don’t want a late December baby. Silly I know, but just our personal preference!

Tophy124 · 18/02/2023 00:49

I’m in for March!! Maybe…having my HSG on March 1st and will likely ovulate on the 4th so my fertile days are the 2nd and 3rd and not sure if I’m allowed to DTD then or not!!

Id prefer to not be in labour on Christmas Day may be a silver lining if I end up being out for this month 😅

Tophy124 · 18/02/2023 00:50

@Ks2023 any updates? Fingers crossed for you x

Ks2023 · 18/02/2023 10:18

@Tophy124 AF came for a visit 😕 even one day earlier

madeofcodes · 18/02/2023 10:25

Will start a March thread soon!

So I said I was going to go for the chill vibe this month but I think I messed up by days last month and didn't DTD on the right days. I've looked into SMEP and bought OPK's, and pre seed as I've seen some positive stories online about that.

Anyone else doing SMEP this time around?
