Come wait with me - May TWW

[HavinKittens]

I can see lots of TWW threads for end of April but I thought I’d start one for any of us who are 1dpo in early May.

I’m 1dpo today. Fourth cycle of trying for second baby. Ovulation day came a week early for us this week, but we DTD 3 times in the fertile window so I’m hopeful.

I don’t remember getting any early symptoms with my last pregnancy.

I usually test waaaay too much. So get ready to see loads of iffy faint lines -ha!

What about you?

Another BFN for me, and unless I've royally screwed up my ovulation time I'm definitely out as I'm at 13/14DPO with period due any day

I think I'm out this month too ladies no progression this morning if anything at all will check later or in the morning on a frer but I'm not holding any hope xx

Just got to keep on trucking eh?

I found with those tests the line progression takes ages! I can defo see a second line on your test. so fingers crossed your not out yet

Hey If I'm out this month my due date will also be 29th feb- which I actually think is a great day but no one agrees with me 🤣 But, I'm only 6DPO and not due on till next Wednesday!? Have I got my dates mixed up because I think you're like a week ahead of me? I'm tracking on flo this time so didn't use any ov sticks x

it always frustrating when it ANOOOOTHER cycle!

I'm 11dpo but not testing today as i gave in yesterday and it was a BFN x 3.

what is everyone BBT charts looking like? Are they still raised or temp dropped?

@dwightschrutebeets maybe our cycles are different lengths? Mine have been irregular so my due date could be earlier than 29th if I have another 30 day cycle next (instead of 35 days like I had been having before now)

@Optimistic66 my bbt dropped below the cover line this morning, another reason why I’m pretty certain I’m not pregnant

What is bbt?

@SoItGoesAgain basal body temperature

i have taken mine for the past two days, mine was high and fluctuating. Slept like crap last night so wouldn’t have been an accurate result this morning. I imagine tomorrow mine will have dipped.

Ahhh how frustrating- i hate that waiting for AF! Although it can always surprise you! you're never out until your out!

my BBT is still high but it's only first month of tracking so not sure i've 100% done it accurately

@Soph2512 oh really this is my first cycle using them that's handy to no tho thank you I'll bear that in mind xx

Hi ! Hoping to join ! Congrats to the ladies with positive tests !

I'm guessing I'm about 10 or 11dpo, really sore boobs !!
I've tested but nothing coming up, so tried an ovulation test because I've heard they can pick up HCG and got a faint line. Is that a good sign !? Clinging to some hope!!

5dpo for me, trying to resist testing tomorrow 😆
Bbt still high as attached. When does it tend to dip if unsuccessful btw?

Hey everyone, I’m about 8 or 9 dpo but have been spotting with brown blood since Saturday. Did a cheapie test this am but no hint of a line so I think I’m out as well!

@Goldie1234 that OPK is negative- they're only positive if the line is the same as or darker than the control.

@fleur89 in my experience the BBT drop comes the day or so before AF.

I'm cycle 15 TTC #3 after a surprise pregnancy that became an early MC last March. 3DPO today.

@curliegirlie thank you! The TWW feels so long 😭 Sorry to hear about your MC, I also had a MMC in March. This is our first cycle TTC post-MC following a period. Attached are my evap lines. I was wondering if the 1dpo faint line is related to the MC. Since it was a MMC I didn't end up taking meds until 10 weeks (although baby stopped developing in week 5) when hcg peaks. At 1dpo I would have been 8 weeks post medical management, which is a long time afterwards and also post-period etc., but the faint line seems pretty clear and the 5dpo test taken today is clearly "more negative".

Thanks @curliegirlie and good luck this month! Hope it hasn't become too all encompassing !

I suppose my question should be can ovulation tests pick up on HCG towards the end of a cycle (even when pregnancy tests haven't) instead of using them for ovulation LH surges?

Good luck @fleur89 I know it's hard after mmc waiting for hormones to get back to normal !!

@Goldie1234 it's my understanding that after you've ovulated, any positive/nearly positive OPK can detect early stages of HCG as they are actually capable of detecting both as the hormone is very similar. It's why quite a lot of women who test LH each day are sometimes incline to take a HCG test in the 2WW as they'll have seen a positive OPK earlier in the month. It's not fool proof though, but I tested my LH the day I tested positive when I had my DS 7 years ago and it showed up positive when I knew I'd already ovulated - it's what prompted me to take a HCG (which was vvvv faint, but progressively more positive each day)

Hope that helps!

@fleur89 im similar to u, I had a MMC in March, it’s devastating, hope ur doing ok❤️

I don’t know if I have line eyes but I think I can see the faintest online in ur test. I’m abt 11 dpo today (I think) and I’m staring at this text trying to decide if I see a line or I’m just convincing myself I see it 🙈 anyone else?

Thank you @PollyDarton1 that is helpful ! Will keep fingers crossed 🤞🏽

@DmcinT I can see it ! Very exciting!!!!

@DmcinT sorry to hear you experienced this too, hope you're okay 💗 I definitely see a kind in your tests, looks more than just an indent caused by evaporation. Fingers cross it progresses into something

*line

@DmcinT I see it! 🤩

@DmcinT I definitely see it too!

This Defiantly looks positive,
