My first TWW 🙈

[Hotmalibu94]

Think I'm now in my TWW at 1DPO!
Anyone care to join me? 😁
I'm on 1st cycle TTC DC1 💕 Not done anything to track except apps this time but fairly convinced my Flo app was pretty accurate so 🤞

So far just back ache, tum ache on left and right and extremely vivid dreams (vivid dreams i had ALOT when i was pregnan)... I had the worse pressure headache from maybe 3dpo to yesterday but I don't know if that's a bit of hay-fever too.

Those symptoms look like good signs @Hotmalibu94 fingers crossed for all

Thank you that's really helpful. I think I might just leave it now until after my period. I've been using test strips and got a really weird one for the first time today so I think it's best to leave it and save them for the next time!!

I've not really had any symptoms other than a really bad headache yesterday (but I'm wondering if that was a pressure headache because of the weather), a little bit of nausea yesterday when I woke up and feeling totally exhausted (but I am always tired and I am working ridiculous hours at work). I'm 5dpo now and as previously mentioned this is my first proper tww so who bloody knows. Definitely no sore boobs or anything....to be honest nothing to report?!

For me, it will be if i spot in a few days time because that will mean my period is coming. It's a nice new development which has happened since coming of contraception....at least I'll know I guess!

I did the thing and peed on a stick 🙈 too early... buttttt... there is the faintest positive on there came up within the time. In real life its easier to see but the pics don't do it justice. Won't get excited as this happened last cycle and I had a CP however that was the day before I was due on, I due on in next 3 to 6 days soooo... according to my opk the peak was day 16 and we saw our donor (female married couple) on day 12 and 14 and that was it as we had a bad cold over the actual peak day. So I going to do 1 stick per day I think. I did order in bulk lol

Is anyone else crazy and testing early? (I want to know if I have any more cp so i can inform gyno).

I keep being tempted to test tomorrow but it's only going to be 8dpo so I don't know why I'm doing it to myself 🙈

I couldn't resist, I'd accidentally been holding in a pee and after having some niggles I was like screw its either going to be negative or nearly negative lol. But I'm a poas addict apparently. When I was pregnant in nov/Dec cycle I got my first faint at 8dpo and they got darker every day so I decided a few hours early for me can't hurt. I know for some it is harder but I honestly can't help myself and they are apparently too close to the loo 🙈 if I'm not this cycle then I may have to put them in a different location for next cycle so they aren't as easy to grab when I have the argument with myself haha

Morning all! I've woken up with a bit of a sore throat today, feeling totally exhausted despite getting a fair amount of sleep, a headache and have a bit of a funny tummy. This could, of course, be an indication that my period is on the way!

I'm 6dpo now and have decided not to test unless my period is late. I'm tempted and will probably end up doing tests a bit more as we get further into the process but for now I'm just going with the flow (so to speak)

Hope everyone has a good day and those tests start to get stronger and stronger ✨

How's everyone getting on?

I'm 10dpo today and I feel like my symptoms have died down a bit. Trying not to stress too much about that but it's hard.
Going to test tomorrow morning. If negative then I'll test again on DHs bday on Thursday if AF doesn't arrive in the meantime.

Just keeping my fingers crossed 😭

Good morning. I've still got on off pains in both sides, my right side has been sore since the cp last cycle but the left is a new pain and I don't usually ovulate from the left for some reason. Yesterday's test stick was stark negative but I didn't get a proper positive till 13dpo really when I was pregnant, extreme squinters before that. Longest 2ww ever this cycle haha. Fi gers crossed for everyone. I keep getting pressure headaches but unsure if I can put that down to hay fever atm as I'm really struggling. If it's any consolation I ruled myself out in December cos of lack of any symptoms and then was... once I got positive tests though I started getting all the symptoms and told myself it was cos I knew lol. I'll probably do a cheap test each evening now and I have one proper test (tesco) to do if I get some positives to confirm... its a 25miu so don't want to to use that unless I kinda know. I hope we all get those lines this cycle and imagine I'll be posting some line eyes sticks in the coming days again haha. Unsure what that was a couple days ago 🥴

Ah fingers crossed for you @DarkCrystal85

What dpo are you now?
I brought some internet cheapies which are meant to be 10miu so hopefully they will show something tomorrow 😭 my period is due Tuesday/Wednesday so tomorrow isn't crazy early to test I guess...
But I'm scared because if it's negative I will feel like I'm out 😭

Aw it's amazon cheapies I use, I bulk buy 50 at a time 🙈 I really hope there is a line there for you chuck. I'm day 10dpo now, I usually have a 26 day cycle and ovulate day 13 but this cycle possibly due to cp I ovulated day 16 so am adding an extra 3 days until I class myself as late so I'd say I'm due on between today (26 day cycle) and 26th (29 day cycle). I love being a woman it's so confusing haha. I wish it was something like 'if you are pregnant your eyes will turn purple' 🤷‍♀️ like feeling what could be pms OR pregnancy is sooo frustrating and I'm a big symptom spotter 🥴 I was going to do a test this morning but the people fitting my new bath arrived at 7.45 and I've missed the chance of using fmu plus the tests are in the bathroom they are in 😭 but my evening pee always seems to be better, when I was pregnant I had to stop watching progression with morning cos it was always so faint so I'd be freaking out then do it again in eve and have big strong line so I guess I gain hcg through the day lol. I'm so excited to see all results this cycle. Feel optimistic it's our months... also I'm quite good with moving on with next cycle once I'm on. I let myself have a few alcoholic beverages when I come on as a treat lol xx

I’m 8dpo today and have a terrible sore throat and a bit of a fever the last few days (poss covid?) just resting as much as possible as have am off sick from work. Other than that not a thing in terms of symptoms although have had a few lower back and tummy pinches/pangs but very subtle!

still not going to test unless period is late. App saying I’m due Monday but I think it’s more like Wednesday. I’ll see if I have any spotting in the meantime as I’ve had that a few days before period last few times…who knows eh?

keeping everything crossed for you all with your tests!!➕

You can't class yourself as out until you come on... these sticks are from December I had stark negatives until cd 13 morning. This first cd 13 was a complete squinter. I got my first positive the day before I was due on and had told myself I must be out... you just never know xx

@MrsBP15 aw the pangs sound interesting and I wish I had the ability to not test till due on I'm terrible and as said above somewhere I will probably move the sticks to another location next cycle haha. I did also have what felt like a sore throat and cold coming last week around same days post ov however I'm being killed alive by hay fever at the moment and even did a covod test as had terrible pressure headache which reminded me of when I had covid but also early pregnancy headache haha. Good luck I hope you are positive xxx I had no symptoms when I was and seem to get all the symptoms when I'm not so I don't think it always means anything x

@DarkCrystal85 I might pop out today and buy another 'proper' test too so we have one to use if anything pops up on the cheapie 😂
Oh it's so confusing isn't it! Since I came off the pill I had a 24 day cycle and a 26 day cycle so I'm going for 26 days which means Id be due on Tuesday.
It's so weird isn't it! Always told to test with fmu and then some people seem to have better evening responses 😂
I'm trying to remember Ive been pregnant once before (years ago) and when I go back through my messages to my DH from that time I had a bad back about a week before my positive test which then improved by the time I got the positive so I'm trying not to panic that my aches are disappearing 🙈
Thank you for the pictures of your tests! It makes me feel better.
Said to DH we will test tomorrow as we are both off work and will be nice for neither of us to have to rush off after finding out.

@MrsBP15 I hope you feel better soon and hope you get a bfp this cycle ❤️

Aw no worries I suddenly remembered I still had them on my phone from December. Took me a while to look at them after losing the baby at 12 weeks but I'm now staring at them myself like this is a line and this might be an evap lol. I thought it might help people not throw in the towel yet. I know people who were a week late before getting their positive like one day nothing then next thick positive so for any other cycles you may have never class yourself out until period comes. It's just such a hard mental a physical to do to ourselves every 2 weeks...for 2 weeks... yes I had bad back pain in early preg but I also have disc disease which got worse in pregnancy so although I have horrific pain atm I'm kind of telling myself it's the disc disease not early pregnancy until I know for sure. My boobs do feel fuller today though too 🤔 again alot of this happens when due on too haha.
Yes I always like to have slightly better sticks just in case I start getting positives as these cheapies in pic can cause evap lines (even within correct time frame) so until I get a few I don't actually class it as pregnant... I have it in back of mind but still like to wait till I don't need to squint or edit pics haha. Good luck for tomorrow's test but don't be discouraged if it is negative 💕 and I'm glad the pic of my December sticks has reassured you 😊

Losing my mind in the tww and convinced I’ve seen a line on the test within 5 minutes! Think I’m 11 or 12dpo. Coming off the back of two miscarriages back to back in April and May both around 5 weeks. On Cyclogest now and hoping third time lucky.

That looks positive to me :)

I can definitely see a line here and have seen plenty of pics where people have said they can see one and I can’t see one at all!!! Eeeep keeping everything crossed for you ✨🤞🏻➕

@Gabgab
I do see a line 😊

Again... I'm unsure if I'm just seeing what I want to see but will keep on testing. At this point I'm still telling myself it's cheap sticks. I feel like this 2ww is taking forever. 11 dpo now x

@DarkCrystal85 I can see something in the second pic! Fingers crossed it's the start of a bfp 🤞

I had a stark negative this morning on an IC. Trying to hold out until Thursday now but who knows. I was feeling really hopeless this morning but today I had more stretchy cm and heartburn on and off all day (I don't get heartburn often) so I'm wondering if it was just too early. AF due on 28th.

Aww it is such a rubbish 2 weeks isn't it... I mean like I said before it wasn't until 13/14dpo I could see my positive last time without squinting and so I always tell myself it's not over till the fat lady sings... or af 🤣 so don't count yourself out till then. My stick this morning was stark white and I only did it this eve cos even when I was pregnant I'd always have a better reading in the evening and I am unfortunately addicted to poas 👀. It will happen. That's what I keep telling myself... maybe not this cycle but at some point it will happen.

Yea as I say I'm classing it as the sticks just trying to have my life atm as 4 days ago I got a similar one but will do daily and see if any progression and if not ill be ordering a different brand next time. I have a 25miu for when I have darker lines whichever cycle that may be so I'm not 100% relying on these. I'm due on on mon/Tues... I always seem to have 14 days after ovulation whenever that happens in a 5 day window, since my mmc my periods haven't been very regular but my LP seems to be always 14 days before af so fingers crossed it doesn't show haha. Im keeping everything crossed for all of us 💕

My boobs feel full and my right and left feels sore and my back is horrendous (with disc disease it's usually pretty bad but it does feel worse but telling myself the heat is causing inflammation) xx

Yeah thank you that thought is really helping keep me positive 😁🤞 this heartburn is weird, I don't get it much at all and so far this TWW I've had it twice though today is much worse. And I've been super achy and normally by now my cm has basically dried up so 🤞
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Please update again tomorrow 😁

Aw no heartburn is awful. Not this early on but when I was about 5 weeks pregnant I had the worst heartburn I saw you can use rennies in pregnancy and was delighted cos it felt like I'd swallowed a car battery acid it was the worst... so could very well be an early sign. Oooo I really hope you are and we have a full thread of positives hehe. I'm sending baby vibes over. Yea I keep going to loo thinking I've come on but haven't and today I've had what I can only describe as period pain without the period. I'm still telling myself I will probably come on when due but due to the amount of chemical losses I've had I feel its probably more self preservation. My wife has said she's gonna pee on a stick to ensure its not the sticks but they have been negative up to now... am like don't waste my precious sticks (like gollum 🤣). Here's hoping for progression for myself and a start of bfp for you to progress. Hoping a bit of Guns and roses does the job as I've got that on at full volume on bbc2 currently haha

@DarkCrystal85 yeah I'm hoping it's related and not just my body being cruel 😂
thank you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your lines get darker too 😁🤞
Yeah I've felt a bit crampy today! Slightly worried its AF starting up but tbh I don't notice cramps that much with it ever 🙈
Haha tell her hands off the sticks 😂

Baby dust to us!! ✨
