TWW - Testing Around 1st March

443 replies

TTCRainbow · 21/02/2023 10:06

Creating a thread for anyone close to ovulation or already in the TWW! I find this journey easier speaking to people going through the same and on the same timeline. We are trying for baby #1 after a MC end of June/July, we was going with the flow but after nothing happening we decided to start tracking ovulation last month and this month i started tracking BBT as well. This month is also our first month using Preseed after I saw so many people say it helped!

I am currently 3DPO - Ovulation was on cycle day 15 confirmed by BBT.

@TTCRainbow hello everyone! Looking to join this thread. I am 5dpo today. Reallllly hoping this is my month! Sore boobs today but I’m guessing that’s too early for symptoms

Sb86 · 27/02/2023 07:17

Could well be implantation spotting, only time will tell but fingers crossed 🤞🏼 @CaffeineAndCrochet

@Amadeaa Absolutely understand the feelings about seeing a positive, it's a massive life changing moment. Are you going to test today then?

@T4Opal I think I can see something on the the first photo but not The second, how many dpo are you?

Sb86 · 27/02/2023 07:18

Hey @Myperfectchaos you're the same dpo as myself, when are you planning on testing?

Myperfectchaos · 27/02/2023 10:30

@Sb86 I think I will start on the 1st u?

@Sb86 Me and OH said we will test Wednesday on 1st so will be 11DPO! I will most likely then test everyday until AF lmao hopefully AF is not coming thought and we get out BFP!

@CaffeineAndCrochet have you tested yet after you spotting? fingers crossed it was implantation spotting!

@T4Opal I defo see faint line on first picture! Have you tested again since?

@Myperfectchaos Hey! I mean could well be still a sign early or not. I've learnt that mind get sore every month lmao so I don't even get my hopes up now. I'll be testing 1st March too but at 11DPO - lets hope we get some more BFPs!

@Luna0905 @Kirstylvsya @DiamondApricot @NWnature How are all you guys doing? xxx

Kirstylvsya · 27/02/2023 10:57

Hey everyone. I'm now 14DPO or so I thought, no BFP or AF, so either I've ovulated later or not at all. PCOS so who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

DiamondApricot · 27/02/2023 11:21

Not too bad, obsessing a little bit but feel that this will be the first of many TWW. Decided to test on the 4th so I know if I'm pretend drinking or real drinking for my birthday. No idea when or if I actually ovulated so roughly 8 DPO today maybe. I'm excited for the testing to begin for other people!

@Luna0905 @Kirstylvsya @DiamondApricot @NWnature How are all you guys doing? xxx

Hey @TTCRainbow, AF is due today and all I’ve had since yesterday is a tiny bit of pink spotting with light cramps and bloating but not normal Af cramps. BFN yesterday on FRER too so I have no idea what’s going on! I’m on CD31 so 13/14dpo currently.

how are you doing?

hi too the new joiners and congrats to those with BFPs 🥳 xx

T4Opal · 27/02/2023 11:42

Hey 👋 yes I tested today but nothing :( can’t get hold of a frer for love. Or money- been to 7 shops this mornin!

Sb86 · 27/02/2023 11:51

@Myperfectchaos I'm going to test on Friday morning so the 3rd. Got a wknd in London for my Christmas present but it's also my partners birthday Friday so I would absolutely love to get our BFP. If not then we will have a lovely wknd in London with 2 shows, great food and some cocktails 😊 I'll have to deal with a negative better than previous months when I just cry for the day and don't want anybody to speak to me haha!

Sb86 · 27/02/2023 11:54

@TTCRainbow I'll only be 10dpo on Friday actually and last time I was pregnant I didn't get a BFP until 14dpo. My app is saying af due a week today so short luteal phase 🙃 fingers crossed for us both and the rest of the ladies on here our afs don't show up!!

CaffeineAndCrochet · 27/02/2023 12:34

@TTCRainbow I've tested but don't expect anything to show up even if it is implantation bleeding. The earliest I could realistically expect a BFP is Thursday or Friday.

NWnature · 27/02/2023 13:24

Hey everyone and congrats on those with BFP so far. I guess more people will be testing this week. Having said I was going to hold off I think I will probably try a cheapo tomorrow morning which will be 11DPO I got a massive 20 pack of the strips so may as well make use of them 😆 I have zero symptoms or feelings so not holding out any hope at all. My Clue app says my period is due tomorrow but Premom says it is due on Friday so either way I guess I will know soon.

Sending good luck to everyone else still waiting xx

@TTCRainbow only two days til testing for you now. How are you feeling?

TTCRainbow · 27/02/2023 16:47

@Kirstylvsya Well not completely out until AF arrives so fingers crossed for you xx

@DiamondApricot I know that feeling.. Dec/Jan i was so bad overthinking every symptom, unhealthy testing 2/3 times a day from 6DPO. Thats why this time i've told myself no and i'm surprised i haven't cracked yet!

@Luna0905 That sounds similar to me, really mild cramps which i wouldn't explain to be cramps.. If that makes sense! I'm 9DPO and only just felt a bit tired and slightly sore boobs today but again its what i always feel leading up to AF so just trying to be patient xx

@Sb86 @CaffeineAndCrochet yeah too early just yet, might even be too early for me on Wednesday but i wont hold out any longer lol xx

@NWnature zero symptoms could be a good thing, could be that your more relaxed and not overthinking it and it will be a lovely surprise! AF due Friday/Saturday for me just hoping its not a slow week (or a disappointing one😫) xx

Hey everyone I am driving myself crazy. I had it together until 8dpo when I got light bleeding I really think it's implantation light pink bleed 8dpo 9DPO brown and 10dpo it's tiny dots of red. Did another pregnancy test this evening I know silly but nothing! Iv had cramps 8dpo and 9DPO nothing today except a sore back and thigh but could be gym related. When do you think I should test AF should be due tomorrow.

I was totally cool until I saw the bleed 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣

Fingers crossed that’s a good sign for you, got everything crossed! 🤞🏼
AF has showed up properly now so I’m officially out 😩 had so many symptoms this month too, my body is so cruel 😩
Tomorrow I start my 3rd and final cycle of letrozole and then to lose the last few pounds to be eligible for NHS IVF if the letrozole doesn’t do the trick. Trying to stay positive but feels quite rubbish at the moment 😩

Good luck and baby dust to everyone testing this week xxx

Peaceandloves · 27/02/2023 18:40

Hello :) I I'll be looking to test 9th March if I don't cheat on a FR before then! Good luck everyone x

Sb86 · 27/02/2023 18:53

Sending love @Luna0905 it's so disheartening isn't it and it doesn't matter how many people tell you that it will happen etc etc. Just know you're not alone and you're being thought about, all the best for this next cycle 🙏🏼

Sb86 · 27/02/2023 18:54

Hey @Peaceandloves good luck holding out til then if you can and obviously good luck for a BFP🤞🏼

thank you lovely, means a lot. onto the next cycle!
how are you feeling? xxx

Sb86 · 28/02/2023 08:14

Morning ladies, how's everyone getting on? Anyone testing today?

Hey @Luna0905 I'm not too bad just symptom spotting as per 😅 even though it's early days! I don't think I'll think anything unless my boobs start hurting and get bigger as that was one of the main symptoms in September before bfp x

TTCRainbow · 28/02/2023 09:05

Oh @Luna0905 😒Hope you're ok. I feel like i am going to be the same.. i've not got too many symptoms but i had nausea this morning was reaching in the sink but im 99% sure its my body playing tricks on me! I bloody caved last night and took a cheap test and BFN. Now i've caved i'll probably drive myself crazy and test every day until AF now.

I wish you all the luck and baby dust for your next cycle, might be joining you soon - AF is due in 3/4 days now xx

Hey @Luna0905 we are also on that CB ovulation thread aren’t we? How are you feeling today? Will you be using OPKs this cycle?

@TTCRainbow I caved on the early testing too. Hope you aren’t still feeling queasy today. Will keep everything crossed for you the next few days!

My Premom app says period due on Friday though Clue has me as one day late now. I think all the data is a bit skewwiff following my CP though as Clue has over a year of periods logged but I just started Premom this year after the CP.

Peaceandloves · 28/02/2023 10:11

Morning everyone? Fingers crossed for anyone testing today.

@NWnature is the premom app helpful? I have clue and have been period tracking for a year but I still sometimes find my ovulation is off and there doesn't seem a way of changing it.

Currently 3dpo. Zero symptoms but I know it's very early. We have only just started trying again ( first child is 2 1/2 ) and I forgot how anxious this time is and how obsessive I get!

TTCRainbow · 28/02/2023 10:25

@NWnature I feel absolutely fine now.. i honestly think my body is just playing tricks and its really annoying 😒I was so confident i would wait to test but last night got a little voice in my head telling me to do it lmao It's annoying when the apps all say different.. hoping it doesn't arrive and BFP is coming soon xx
