1DPO and starting the TWW - who's with me?

[XenaTheWarriorPrincess]

Third cycle ttc #1, 2nd cycle using opks.

Ovulated yesterday (peak on Wednesday) and dtd Wednesday night.

I've got 23-25 day cycles and seem to have a 11 day luteal phase, so due on the 30th.

Anyone else around the same dpo wanting to ride the tww out together?

Hoping to hold off on testing until I'm 10dpo at the earliest, but we'll see.

Gearing up for the symptom spotting to begin in a week or so, even though I know I shouldn't.

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Haha I know, I'm usually really good but this cycle has felt so boring! So I caved 🤣

Still hoping no AF arrives! But games night sounds super fun 😍

I caved 🥺🥺 10dpo and I have two lines! Ah I hope this is a sticky bean. I got excited and used my digital 🙈 which came up as not pregnant. I slapped myself for using it before af day 😅 but I'm just feeling a bit giddy right now still absolutely no symptons but when I went to kickboxing last night it was the first time I felt nauseous while working out.

@ddaisynner Eeeek! That line is CLEAR. Congratulations 😁 I find those digital tests aren't very sensitive so you might need to wait a bit longer.

Sooooo exciting!!! Xx

Eeek congratulations 🥰 definitely a good positive line too. Hehe easily done with the digital. Keep to the cheapy ones for now if you need the reassurance

Aww thank you both I'm absolutely shocked 🙈 I probably won't test now until af is late and just to get a digital confirmation. Ahh. 🤞🤞 everyone gets their Feb babies this cycle 💛

Congrats @ddaisynner that's wonderful news. Great line for 10dpo too. How exciting ☺️

I've everything crossed for you that this is a sticky little bean!

The digital are usually 25miu and the easy at home are 10miu, so you'll need to wait a few days for a digital to register.

I was a crazy woman last cycle @LeopardLover, must have done about 20 tests in total 😅 done much better this time, think my count is at 5 so far.

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Here's me thinking you have a will of Iron 😉 cheapie tests don't really count though!

Only issue is I've run out now @LeopardLover, and not gonna be able to get more til Monday so if AF doesn't come I'm in for a hell of a wait to test.

@ddaisynner aw congratulations! Such a clear line! 🥰

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess oh wow! Monday is quite the wait. You could probably but a digital then 🤣 fingers crossed!

AF has arrived. Onto cycle 3!

Can finally relax a bit now and have some drinks tonight ❤️

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Sorry to hear about AF, sending you baby dust for next cycle! x

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess Ugh, sorry! But definitely enjoy your games night. I think I'll be joining you in a few days. March babies will be great tbh 😉 x

Congratulations @ddaisynner was it you doing gender swaying? Hope that worked too if so!

Sorry to hear AF has arrived @XenaTheWarriorPrincess enjoy relaxing with a drink or two over the next few days.

So I looked back over my premom OPK tests and realised I didn’t test on CD15/16, then got a positive OPK on CD17 so I could be anything from 9-11dpo, that prompted me to do a boots early detection today which was BFN. AF not due until Sunday but I’m taking that BFN as me being out this cycle, I don’t think I can mentally cope with hope for the next few days, so I’d rather just take the BFN as fact, even though it is very likely an unreliable test!

I will probably test on Saturday to be sure but I’ve found symptom spotting quite stressful this month and think I might not even OPK next month (might change my mind!). I fell pregnant on a month of not tracking before so I think I’ll focus on a healthy lifestyle and regular DTD and see how I go.

@Pastaf0rbreakfast I'm due Sunday too and had a BFN today! I also know what you mean about symptom spotting and over thinking this cycle. It's a good idea to take a chilled month I think. I want one more crazy OPK month and then it'll be chill again. Sending love xx

Think I am probably out for this month. 11dpo today and absolutely stark white on all tests, even the early Boots and CB ones this morning. AF is due Monday, so would have expected to even see a hint of a line by now, but nothing!

Ugh, I'm sorry! Monday is still a way away, so there is a chance you ovulated late and HCG hasn't risen yet. Sending hugs!

Unfortunately I think my test was a faulty one. Tested again this morning stark white strip and early digital bfn. It's a bit disheartening after seeing those lines on Wednesday but hey go. 12 dpo today, also had a random wipe of pink discharge last night. I do spot sometimes before a period so I guess I'll await af on Sunday 😅😪

@ddaisynner Oh no! 😔 Your line definitely wasn't an indent. The early digital might still be too early? Did you use the same type of test again at the same time of day? Sending love!

@ddaisynner sending love, how confusing after those dark lines!

I was sure yesterday morning I was out for this month, as BFNs on the early tests at 11dpo, but got bad period cramps yesterday for a few hours. 12dpo today and nothing since. I never get cramps before AF, only ever on days 1 and 2 of AF. So rather confused. AF not due until Monday and no signs of it blood wise, not even a speck. So I have no clue what's going on.

Is there a chance they could be implantation cramps yesterday? Would 11dpo be too late for implantation?

Oh @ddaisynner I'm so sorry. That definitely seemed like a positive test, not an indent or evap, so if they've gone negative now it sounds like it could have been chemical.

@winterbabyrose implantation can happen 6-12dpo so 11dpo isn't too late :) ttc can mess with you a bit though and symptoms suddenly appear that you'd never noticed or had before. Wait 48 hours then start testing with sentive tests (could take longer to get a positive but 2 days is usually the minimum).

Does this look like an indent/Evap line? I can see something there but it's super thin and light

@winterbabyrose I can defo see a line congratulations 🎊 👏 ild probably do another one in a couple days I try to stay away from blue lines myself as I can never tell lol 😆

I ended up having brown discharge yesterday, still no sign of af. 13dpo today and still bfn strip fmw same time as the others only thing I can think of is on Tuesday I hardly drank as ran out of coke 🙃 and had kickboxing so that wee on the Wednesday morning was super concentrated. Bit you would think ild have even a faint squinter 🤣 I still think it was a false positive because even with a chemical the last one I had the line slowly got fainter rather than disappeared altogether. Hopefully af turns up tomorrow so I can start counting again for 0 lol 😆

Goodluck everyone hopefully some good news to follow 🤞🤞

@winterbabyrose EEEK! Your cramps were early pregnancy cramps. That line is undeniable! Congratulations!

@ddaisynner Oh I'm so sorry, that's soooo strange! It was such a clear line. 🤔 Was AF due today? Sending loads of love!! I'm due on tomorrow but it'll be soon, I can feel it coming!
