Dpo 1, tww keep sane

[HelloMoon87]

Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

@missmae I had some light spotting when wiped a couple of days ago so hoped it was that then hence why I tested early - rise in oestrogen is good isn’t it ?? Lol

Omg this! The only symptom that I can feel is mildly still there is dull lower back ache which feels like I need to release gas but it doesn't and even if I do, it doesn't relieve the pressure. No other symptoms anymore!

Cm?
Ewcm?

Random question - do you all DTD during the TWW or abstain?

@FirstTim3Mummy
cervical mucus
egg white cervical mucus

@Tes004 ooo my bad I thought that was today! How many dpo are you, 6? And the estrogen surge happens with every cycle but it will stay elevated if pregnant and if not will drop again! Maybe test again in 2 days as the hcg can take a few days to be detected in a test! Fingers crossed for you !🤞🏼

@FirstTim3Mummy cm - cervical mucus and ewcm - egg white cervical mucus x

@bookworm100 when I fancy it lol - I try really hard not to just be in the ‘ttc’ frame of mind and try to keep things fun and 😉

@bookworm100 i still do it… tmi but first time doing it last night since ovulation and I wasn’t feeling it at all. I think I was slightly anxious that it would interfere with the implantation process which I don’t think it does but 😂 I was also extremely irritated beforehand and felt sorry for oh😂😂

@bookworm100 funny enough I just read online if you were to have sex during the tww the sperm helps the egg implant but not sure if it’s true 🤦🏻‍♀️ Tbh I am not in the least bit feeling sexual with the feeling I need to fart every minute 😂

@MrsP20202 oh well If that’s true then perfect for me 😂😂but same here!! That was me last night 😂

Thanks for sharing your experiences! Interesting to hear that sperm can help implantation, I've read that orgasm contractions can prevent implantation! This whole TWW thing is such a minefield...starting to wish I didn't track my cycles and didn't know I was in the TWW!

@bookworm100 yeah I’ve just researched it myself and there’s mixed answers. It would make sense about the contractions… hmm now I’m anxious again lol. I’m going to put a “do not touch” sign near me.

@bookworm100 ill post a study I read for ivf cycles, but who knows your totally right that it’s a minefield !

@missmae oh don’t 😂 I swear I’ll end up farting in my dh face if we tried and put him off for life 😂 just feel so bloated and gassy

girls I’m holding out until tomorrow morning to test my cramps have completely gone now ! Hoping that’s not a bad sign 😞

@bookworm100

@MrsP20202 i actually made him nap before we did so I managed to buy myself some more time phahaha 😂
just realised you’re 8dpo I got confused myself! But yes try testing again tomorrow morning but don’t get disheartened it could all still be too early. Definitely isn’t a bad sign!

Thanks for posting the study! Tbh I'm sure it can't actually be bad for implantation or there would be more proper advice around it?

Same question now but for drinking? Not heavily obviously but a glass of wine of an evening!?

@bookworm100 I think a glass of wine won’t do any harm. I think most people continue to drink during the 2WW as long as it’s not excessive. Think of all the women who conceive who aren’t trying they probably do everything we think not to do!😂 I drank during Christmas and new years days before my bfp! Of course online tho it will say to avoid all of those things 🤷🏼‍♀️I think you should be fine!

@missmae sorry that made me laugh 😂 I will test and let everyone know but I no it’s too bloody early I just can’t help it 😆 cramping has started again and sorry for tmi I’m getting tingly down there it’s actually annoying the hell out of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ Oh I hope we all get our bfp!

@bookworm100 i wouldn’t say it hurts hun at all the only time I didn’t try to conceive was with my son and that month we had a lot of Greek parties to attend and let’s say I don’t think I was sober most of that month 😂 now he’s 16 months

Anybody 9DPO and testing tomorrow? Hand holding .. I know it’s still very early but I also have blood test at the GP for other reasons so it is tempting to ask them if they can tack on a HCG 🤭

or has anybody had a line that early? I’ve no FRER in just easy@home tests
appreciate the brutal honesty though I know it’s not too late to still get a BFP

@longingtobe23 I'm 9dpo tomorrow and I will be testing!!! Although I've never had a bfp that early with previous pregnancies, I just cant help myself. I'll hand hold with you xxx

@longingtobe23 me too 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 Fingers crossed there’s at least a faint line !

@Maybebaby12345 thank youuuu I wish I’d got some better tests in but have spent a fortune in the past I try not to do that anymore, I’ll be going swimming early afterwards so likely be a 6am test!

crossing all fingers for you 🤞🏻
I think I stay optimistic until about 11DPO lol

My static smiley was 1/7 so I think if may have over counted - esp if 12-24 hrs after is ovulation day and it’s the following day you count a 1 dpo

awwww soooooo annoying !!

I have ordered some first response ones - off away for a couple of days mid week so that will take my mind off I I hope lol x

@MrsP20202 🤞🏻 Putting out some good energy lovely 😊 best of luck

@longingtobe23 I have a boots early test which is 10mui and a boots test strip which is 20mui and that's it!!! I know I should just not test for a couple of days and use them then, but I cant help it!!! My pms is so similar to early pregnancy symptoms that even tho I have bloating and sore boobs, that doesn't mean anything at this stage as I get that every month around this time. There is nothing more intense than being in the tww 😭
