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?

Hi can I join?
Started TTC no1 December 2021 - lost count of cycles 😂
Currently 5DPO and somehow already symptom spotting 😬
Thought I'd joint a thread to try and distract myself and get some sanity 😂
@DmcinT definitely a faint line there, hope it progresses for you 🤞🏼

Hey @Harriet669 Welcome the more the merrier :)

Ive also been symptom spotting from 5DPO. I even took a test yesterday at 7 DPO which was BFN but i could still swear there was a faint line hahah

Harriet669 · 15/05/2023 13:50

@Soph2512 I am the worst at imagining fault lines 😂 I actually haven't taken any tests since December as get send me crazy! And the cost of them 😬

Obviously I will proabbly end up testing tonight as well haha

Harriet669 · 15/05/2023 14:11

@Soph2512 I hope the not grumpiness is a sign 😂 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hope it's a BFP if you do! But if it's not don't be disheartened it's still super early 🥰

@Harriet669 Thank you so much! I'm sure I'll be updating dodgy lines soon haha

BabyNo2please23 · 15/05/2023 14:25

@DmcinT I definitely see it 😁 x

PollyDarton1 · 15/05/2023 14:27

Just to update, I started my period about half an hour ago, bang on time so I'm pleased (weirdly) as it means my cycles are following normal patterns.

Wishing you all the very best, I'll check in to see you all <3

CinderRosie · 15/05/2023 15:37

@PollyDarton1 maybe I’ll see you over on the next cycle thread.

Even though I started spotting last night I’ve had nothing today and caved and bought an ultra early test - BFN. I just want AF to hurry up and start properly now so I can move on to the next cycle, definitely going to DTD more than once in my next fertile window 🤦🏻‍♀️

@PollyDarton1 sorry! 😞 i hope next cycle is a lucky one for you, but like @CinderRosie i will see you in the next TTC then two week wait.

11DPO did another two tests - caved! i have absolute zero willpower and definitely don't feel pregnant. Just want AF to come tomorrow/wednesday if it coming now so can get back to trying!

Diddibeth · 15/05/2023 17:04

Hello,

I've been testing for my LH surge.... using the clear blue digital tests... I've had the flashing smiley face since 10th May and then we have been doing it every other day. I tested again this morning and the smiley face is stationary which means I've hit by LH surge. So i've been told that i should be doing every day now for the next 3 days.

this is my second cycle trying for a baby and there is alot of information out there on do's and don't etc... which can make things so confusing.

I'm just praying that this cycle will be successful!!

confuzzzzzled · 15/05/2023 17:56

Stark white BPN today (10dpo) so having a good cry on the sofa, don’t think I’ll ever be pregnant

Sex from today every day for three days like you said and then leave a day and have sex again on the fifth day.

Un7breakable · 15/05/2023 18:20

Pretty sure I'm out 11dpo BFN and spotting. AF due Wednesday.

Glad to see some positives on the thread. Hopefully next month will be the month for all of us with BFNs

CinderRosie · 15/05/2023 19:09

@confuzzzzzled Flowers and Gin for you x I hope you get your BFP on the next thread.

I hate this limbo period where I know I’m not pregnant but AF is not here yet. Just want it to come so I know where I am. This is only my first month and I feel like I’m insane already Confused I’ve told DH we are having sex every day in my fertile window on the next cycle which he is more than happy with lol

thank you, my fingers are crossed for you too! You’d think after 4 years I wouldn’t find this so crushing but I really thought the laparoscopy would have fixed everything for us. Fertility appt next month and I was really hoping that it was going to have to be cancelled 😞

tara17x · 15/05/2023 20:27

Hi there, wondering if anyone can help as going out of my mind.
I had my first FET a couple of weeks ago and got a BFP on Wednesday. I had bloods on the following Friday which were all good
HCG 167
Progesterone 175

I've had more bloods today (4 days later), and unfortunately they haven't increased as I would hope:
HCG 288
Progesterone 140

Do you think this is signs of MC or ectopic?

Any advice welcome

Un7breakable · 15/05/2023 21:04

@tara17x Can't help but didn't want to read and run. Fingers crossed it's ok.
Is there anyone you can speak to at the clinic?

BabyNo2please23 · 15/05/2023 22:08

@PollyDarton1 I'm sorry to hear that I hope you get your bfp next month

@CinderRosie could the spotting be implanting and then maybe next couple of days your hcg levels will rise 🤞🏻

@Optimistic66 @confuzzzzzled im sorry I feel that way I will have my fingers crossed for u

HavinKittens · 15/05/2023 22:31

Hi @tara17x I wonder if they may be able to help you on one of the IVF threads? Hope you get answers soon x

Another middle of the night IC here. 12dpo.
Line still faint but getting stronger I think. Still trying to hold off “believing” it yet as I don’t want to be get my hopes up.

I definitely want to see it on another brand of tests as well before I accept it as an official positive, but we’re visiting PIL and haven’t managed to go to a shop without them 🙈

Come wait with me - May TWW
fleur89 · 16/05/2023 04:37

@Hazelnuttella congratulations, that's definitely positive by the looks of things. Good plan to check with another brand, I find digitals spelling it out easier to accept 💗

SoItGoesAgain · 16/05/2023 04:48

@Hazelnuttella congratulations. What brand of test is your strip?

I'm out for this month. 12 dpo and not even a squeak of a line.

Come wait with me - May TWW
