1DPO - Anyone want to wait with me ☺

701 replies

BABYPRAYING · 29/04/2023 15:21

Hi ladies,

First month catching positive LH to confirm my ovulation. We DTD two days before but unfortunately not on ovulation day. I'm hoping I'm still in with a chance. Currently 1DPO. Love anyone to join me for the painful waiting game of testing and also symptom spot/share stories of successful pregnancies.

Welcome @happyclam 👋🏻

I generally start testing at 7DPO...but that is too early. I just can't help myself. Haha.

I think you can get a positive on sensitive tests at 9DPO.

I'm hoping this is a lucky thread for us all ✨

@Bluelightbaby congratulations on your engagement and in Venice too! Sounds like a dream.

Welcome to the chat @happyclam. I'm also 3dpo due af 13th May. I normally give in at 9dpo but I want to try and wait until 11dpo. I'll probably cave at 10 though. 0 will power.

Hello! May I join? This is my first ever time TTC! I'm on the same timings, ovulated on Friday so now 3dpo. AF would be due on 14/5, feels like a long time to wait.....

How early do you all test?

Hi happyclam! Welcome to the waiting, I'm due AF the 15th. Hoping this is a lucky thread and we all get our BFP's 🤞😁

Morning all,

Has anyone had any early symptoms? Not even sure if you can get them this early 😂

I'm 4DPO today and the waiting game is painful. I had some spasms in my right side sort of near my hip last night. Just a couple of times. That's about it so far!

I'm at the doctors at 10:30 for some blood tests. I think these first ones are to see if I ovulate. Which based on my LH testing this month looked good. First month religiously testing for LH surge and I nearly cried when I saw it. It might aswell have been a positive pregnancy test 😂

Hello hope it's OK if I join

Got a static smiley on clear blue ovulation test evening of 22nd. I am really trying my hardest not to go out and buy a test. Find it so hard on my days off as my mind goes into overdrive, just need to get through today without caving in as I'm working the rest of the week so I'll be busy!

Can someone please reassure me that it would be pointless testing today if I had a peak on 22nd. Its too early still isn't it??

I got my static smiley sat 22nd april evening (check morning and night and it was still flashing that sat morning).
So I assumed I ovulated the Sunday? Not sure really how it works, if it was the Sunday then I'm about 8 dpo x

I'd try hold out until tomorrow to test but I know how hard it is not too! 😂

Flowers213 · 02/05/2023 15:33

Luckily I'm working 5 days straight as of tomorrow so I won't even get the chance to get out and buy one!
So hard waiting though, we had a chemical in March so I am praying we are successful

How many dpo are you x

Elz1406 · 02/05/2023 15:41

1dpo too, first month ttc! Had a very confusing start with a peak on day 7 and then another on cd15 but think that was the actual one! Good luck to everyone!

thecoffeerun · 02/05/2023 16:06

Can I join please :) this is our first cycle ttc #1

I have no idea how many dpo I am as I had a static smiley on clear blue on Weds 26th April backed up by a strong positive on an opk, opks slowly turned negative over the next couple of days and have been negative everyday since, ewcm on Friday 28th but my temp only just rose this morning?

Anyone good and interpreting charts please help 🤣 am I 6dpo or 1dpo..?

1DPO - Anyone want to wait with me ☺

I'm a total hypochondriac at the best of times, but I definitely have a bit of cramp today.. don't usually get it at this point in my cycle.

But I know logically it's very unlikely I'd feel anything at this point. And I did go swimming on Saturday for the first time in a while so many I've just used my stomach muscles...!

My head was also POUNDING yesterday but I don't think that's related - probably just dehydrated!

It's going to be loooooong two weeks....

SnapDragon5 · 02/05/2023 17:13

@thecoffeerun The answer is probably you ovulated sometime in between when you got the positive OPK and when your temperature rose. It's pretty much impossible to pinpoint exactly when.

The OPK normally indicates you will ovulate within 24-36 hours but that can be slightly out for some people so maybe yours takes a bit longer. But it's unlikely to take as much as 6 days after the positive OPK.

Thank you @SnapDragon5 I was pretty convinced I was ovulating on Friday 28th due to the EWCM, which would be 48 hours after peak OPK, just means it took my temperature 4 days to rise which I know isn't normal but I will go with 4dpo today!

Kiwiburgh · 02/05/2023 18:43

@Flowers213 I'd try and wait until 10dpo but I know it's easier said than done especially if the tests are sitting in the drawer waiting for you lol.Just for the fact that 9dpo on average is the most common implantation date.

Pinkmoon23 · 02/05/2023 19:19

How's everyone feeling today? I'm only 2 dpo and already impatient 😂 Feeling utterly exhausted today 😴

happyclam · 02/05/2023 19:44

@Pinkmoon23 I felt terrible yesterday, and bad headache. Had a few cramps today but at 4dpo I'm guessing it's all unrelated / irrelevant!

Pinkmoon23 · 02/05/2023 19:47

@happyclam it's hard to tell isn't it, especially when pms and pregnancy symptoms are almost identical 😅. I'm so bad at waiting! 😆😭

Few twinges and some nausea for me earlier. Was like a wave that came over me. Had loads of energy though which is strange for me haha.

Morning All,

5DPO today! What DPO are we all? How is everyone feeling. I'm feeling pretty good, full of energy. Sleeping like a baby. Iv been getting the odd spasms still but other than that nothing. Few more days and I'll do my first test I think (can't help myself).
