Come wait with me - May TWW

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?

I'm 9 dpo and will be testing shortly. Just trying to hold out as long as possible as just finished a night shift. Last wee was at 5am.

optimisticchanger · 13/05/2023 08:12

Out of curiosity for other 9 dpo ladies - when is your period due? I'm 19th May.

Bellabeemarie · 13/05/2023 08:20

Morning everyone, sorry to see BFN this morning I hope they turn into bfp real soon 🤞

I'm only 4dpo so I won't be testing until nx week this 1st half has dragged ALOT usually it doesn't drag until about 8dpo🙈

My AF is due 22nd may absolutely ages away!!!!

Sorry to hear about the BFNs! I hope they turn into BFPS as remember you're not out til AF shows.

8DPO for me and feeling all my usual PMS symptoms. Flo says period is due on 19th which is when I'm planning to test.. I usually spot a few days before AF so if that hasn't started by mid next week I will know something is likely going on.

Hazelnuttella · 13/05/2023 09:37

Also 9po but expecting AF on 16th/17th May.

Optimistic66 · 13/05/2023 10:06

i'm hoping some of these BFN turn into BFP as surely one of us has caught this
month!

Yes! Someone has to! Or else (not sure what but I’ll figure it out)

Was tempted to test but I’m only 8dpo. Anyone else spend the TWW glued to internet forums and checking your cycle apps? I think I’m going crazy 😂

CinderRosie · 13/05/2023 10:54

@confuzzzzzled not just you, I am doing this too!! Blush

yes! literally nothing changes and i'm out here like checking! TTC does mean time go so slowly!!!

Vic231 · 13/05/2023 12:43

@Optimistic66 that's because a forum or app will have the answers and know if we are pregnant before we do 😂

CinderRosie · 13/05/2023 14:08

I was in Superdrug earlier and felt twitchy near the pregnancy test aisle Confused I'm coming up to the window where the '6 days earlier' tests may show a BFP which is terrifying/exciting.

confuzzzzzled · 13/05/2023 14:15

I’ve bought some cheap internet tests strips to arrive on Wednesday - thought if I buy them I’ll be less likely to fork out a tenner for a FRER before then😂

optimisticchanger · 13/05/2023 15:55

Thoughts??

Come wait with me - May TWW
Bellabeemarie · 13/05/2023 16:37

@Optimistic66 I dont think I can see anything 😩 sorry I hate saying this but I dont want to say yeah and give you false hope.... what dpo are you? I really dont rate these tests tho they can have you question the results alot xxx

PollyDarton1 · 13/05/2023 17:00

Hey all, BFN for me again this morning, I'm 12 DPO so ahead of you all and pretty certain it's not going to change.

I've got the most intense symptoms but I genuinely think it's because me and DP are at it like rabbits Blush I'd be shocked if I'm not pregnant 😂 I know it doesn't work like that but everything in my body is screaming I'm pregnant, crazy thing!

PollyDarton1 · 13/05/2023 17:00

Also, sorry for the BFN ladies, although that said many of you are v early yet so I'm crossing my fingers x

PollyDarton1 · 13/05/2023 17:01

@optimisticchanger I would steer so clear of CB tests - I've had multiple false positives off them in the last week and I find them harder to read.

CinderRosie · 13/05/2023 17:16

@optimisticchanger I don’t think I can see anything either unfortunately

CinderRosie · 13/05/2023 17:18

FRER used to be the holy grail of pregnancy tests but people on the other threads seem to rate the boots own brand early tests which are cheaper than FRER - same pink dye but less indents and evaps

HavinKittens · 13/05/2023 17:44

Yes I think boots early test seems good. Although it is less sensitive than FRER but I guess that could be a good thing.

I swore off FRER but sort of wish I had one now ha. I’ve never used clear blue except the digital ones.

I think I can see a line @optimisticchanger but when they’re that faint it’s so hard to tell which way it will go!
