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?

Is anyone else continuing to exercise?

I’m in this limbo now where I’m at the gym thinking ‘Should be careful just incase’ but then also thinking ‘But if you’re not, don’t want to waste the week’. Stupid I know, but can’t help it. I ended up leaving halfway through my cardio class this morning because I started feeling some cramps, so thought just in case, better go!

I'd continue your normal exercise but maybe take a break when cramps hit-make sure you're super hydrated too as that makes cramps worse.

I'm really cramp tonight, like a gas and period cramps. Picked my LO up tonight and got like a muscle tear ache right across my lower stomach, like hip to hip. Got it yesterday too when I lifted my other little one above my head playing. Strange.

I’ve had pink bleeding tonight when I wipe. 9DPO is that too late for implantation bleeding? Feels too early for AF but don’t want to get my hopes up. How long after implantation are you meant to wait to test?

No it's the perfect time for implantation bleeding. Test in 3 days x

Fuck no. My only exercise is walking to and from work

@LittleMiss2023 im carrying on as normal exercise wise. I’m part way though couch to 5k with a running club and I go to the gym once a week, plus yoga. The only thing is not pushing myself quite as much with weights.

@Purpleflowers17 i agree with @Emmamoo89 its almost spot on for implantation bleeding. Here’s hoping it’s a good sign!

madeofcodes · 05/02/2023 22:14

It's ok to test early if it just takes your mind off it a little bit until you test again.

I've stopped running in case im going to be implanting soon, I've seen online about reducing hiit/heavy cardio. Im doing the elliptical at the gym, yoga classes and long dog walks everyday. Partially doing this to take my mind off it in all honesty!

Cally1980 · 05/02/2023 22:33

Hey everyone,

joining in with the awful wait. I’m 42 so chances are very low, dh also has low count and low motility. We’re about to start ivf but though we’d try one last month (15 months now) for both of our first.
I feel absolutely nothing different from usual. I’ve felt every symptom going over the past 15 months and never had a bfp.
I have no idea what to expect!

Cally1980 · 05/02/2023 22:34

Oh! I’m 9dpo, still ovulating regularly at 42, had all kinds of tests done and everything is good apparently 🙄

Peachyplumm · 06/02/2023 01:14

I’m not exercising, just taking it easy.

Does anyone know how high HCG is day after implantation? Would it be detectable by FRER?

Would like to know this too cause I’m desperate to test, but don’t want to waste a test if there’s no way it’ll show anything anyway.

Ok ok ok. I know I said I wouldn’t but I could not help myself, but though to myself ‘I’ll do one so then in a couple of days time I might be able to see a progression’ Anyway. What do we think? I’m only 8 DPO so could mean anything, or could just be an indent. But I was a bit surprised….I’ll test again in the morning with FMU!

Omgggg I can see a line!! It’s faint but it’s definitely there!! 😍congrats, take more tests to see progression! Will be good to have the FMU to really confirm it but looks promising to me Xx

Yep - this was 2pm wee and I’d had nearly 2 litres of water throughout the day so quite diluted! Will be interesting to see how tomorrows goes!!

Anyone else due to test today??

@LittleMiss2023
OMG congratulations I can definitely see a line too!
I'm 9DPO today and done a test and it's a BFN! I do know it's still a little early so going to hold out a few more days now.
How are you feeling? Any symptoms?xx

Hardly any symptoms - which is why I’m not getting excited just yet. I’ve had cramps the last 2 days and I’ve noticed I’ve become very thirsty - I’ve had over 3L today!

We’ll see what the next couple of days bring!

Oooo @LittleMiss2023 i see it! My FRERs were like that with my others.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Would love to see your line progression ❤️💐🎉

Mushroo · 06/02/2023 08:58

@LittleMiss2023 amazing! And so early as well.

Definitely keep us updated!

Eeee! That's a positive! Can't wait to see it progress! 🙏 huge congratulations. Not sure whether or not to test today or wait til tomorrow x

madeofcodes · 06/02/2023 09:48

I gave in and did a test... BFN 👎

cloudypink · 06/02/2023 09:59

@madeofcodes
Me too but don't be to disheartened,it's still early days 🤞🏼🥰xx

OnNaturesCourse · 06/02/2023 11:47

I tested again this morning and my line eyes are convinced there is something there but my mind is telling me to behave lol

Peachyplumm · 06/02/2023 12:04

Also did a test today at 9dpo and bfn, stark white!

Jb2189 · 06/02/2023 12:04

I also caved and tested today. I've done 2 tests and had a vvvv faint line (I think) on both. It came up within the time frame.
