Hi 👋

I’ll join you if that’s ok ~ I’m 4DPO on first cycle for #4. I thought I would be better at waiting during the TWW given I’ve done it a few times but nope!

icallshade · 17/01/2024 17:08

Hi I'd like to join, also first cycle ttc #2! I'm in what I think is my fertile window (I'm not tracking but going on EWCM!).

When are you girls going to be testing 🤞

Hann1905 · 17/01/2024 17:22

Yea of course @Moominmamato3 @icallshade! The more the merrier!

The TWW can be so lonely, it's nice knowing others are in the same boat!

I thought I'd be more chill this time around, but absolutely not Grin

I'm going away on holiday 25th, so I'm planning on testing on the 24th (10DPO). I'm an absolute addict for peeing on a stick though!

When will you both be testing?

Hi all, room for another. I’m cycle 1 for #2 although lost a baby at 16 weeks in March. I’m currently 3/4 dpo. I never know when to count from.. from my peak opk of 24 hours after?

Moominmamato3 · 17/01/2024 19:29

Hi @Nic2908 sorry to hear about your loss. I always count from peak but that might not be the right way.

I was going to leave it until the 23rd to test but like you @Hann1905 I am addicted at testing once we are TTC in fact I brought some tests today so I’m prepared 😂

Yellofello · 17/01/2024 19:39

Hiya, 4dpo. ❤️ it’s such a long wait isn’t it.
I’m a bit worried this month because we only DTD on CD9 and CD14. I had a positive OPK on CD13 late at night. I’m worried we’ve missed our window. My cycles are usually 29 days long.

Hann1905 · 17/01/2024 19:46

@Nic2908 always room for one more Flowersso sorry about you loss! I've recently started using the Premom app, I put my ovulation tests into the app and had my peak on the 13th, and the app says I should have ovulated on the 14th and it's counting me as 3DPO from that date. It's so confusing though!

@Yellofello hi lovely! I wouldn't worry too much, they say sperm can live upto 5 days. We only managed to DTD 3 days across my fertile window

Hann1905 · 17/01/2024 19:47

Also, what pregnancy tests is everyone using? I'm trying to find some of the first response early detection, but couldn't find them in the shops!

Hi all, I’d love to join 🙋‍♀️ I’m 2DPO, on month 4 trying for #2 😊 My first response tests came this morning 🫣😅

Musicalhorse · 17/01/2024 20:09

Hi,
I’d like to join please 😊
I’m also in my first cycle of ttc #2. I didn’t take any ovulation tests so I’m not sure when I ovulated. I am on CD24, out of a 30 day cycle. The days are already dragging.
Good luck everyone.

icallshade · 17/01/2024 20:18

I'm anything but chilled and I'm only on cycle 1 😅 I'm trying to just go with the flow (hence no proper tracking besides flo app) but I know what I'm like and during my last pregnancy I was obsessed with POAS thanks to a miscarriage prior.
I'm going to try and hold off testing until 31st which I think will be around 11dpo and incidently is my birthday, so hopefully a birthday surprise! (I know what I'm like though and will likely be testing from 7dpo 😅🤣🙈

icallshade · 17/01/2024 20:20

@Nic2908 couldn't read and run, so sorry for your loss 💐❤🕯
Praying that this is your cycle 🥰

icallshade · 17/01/2024 20:22

@Hann1905 when I had my DD I used frers and spent literally a small fortune 😅 this time I'm going to use the easy at home tests and then save the frer for missed periods only she says 😅

Hann1905 · 17/01/2024 20:22

I'm trying to hold off buying tests until closer to the time, or I know full well I'd be testing every day! Pregnancy tests have gone so expensive too!

OP posts:
Nic2908 · 17/01/2024 20:24

Ok so I’ve just checked and from peak I am 5dpo today. It sounds so silly but I really want to use first response as it’s what I’ve used previously and I hope they are lucky. Do we not sell them in uk anymore?? What would everyone else use? I’m not sure I could take a clear blue evap line

TTTC24 · 17/01/2024 20:26

@Nic2908 yes, I’m in the UK and got mine off Amazon yesterday 😊

Hann1905 · 17/01/2024 20:30

@icallshade they are all I used with my DD too! Trying to hold off buying so I don't waste them 

@Nic2908 the clear blue tests are awful for it! I much prefer a pink dye but want to get an early detection one. I can't find them in any shops and they seem to be sold out on boots. Going to fry find them on Amazon now @TTTC24

babbaganoush · 17/01/2024 20:33

I'd like to join please! Currently 4dpo, second cycle trying to conceive baby number 3.

I need this thread to help me stop myself from testing from tomorrow like some crazy lady.... (Not that I did that last cycle 🙃🙃🙃)

orangeoctupus · 17/01/2024 20:43

4dpo here. Been trying fur 5 months now.

Hann1905 · 17/01/2024 21:05

Welcome @babbaganoush @orangeoctupus! Hopefully this thread will keep us some what sane and in around 10 days we get our BFP's Star

Moominmamato3 · 17/01/2024 21:17

I couldn’t find any First Response in the shops today either so went with Clear Blue Early Detection ones

SMD16 · 17/01/2024 22:03

Heyyy can I join? 1DPO TTc #2, cycle 3 I think. Sadly had a chemical in December.

I have 4 FRER I got in clearance from boots 🙈

I bought a pack of two first response from Amazon for about £14.

Hann1905 · 18/01/2024 09:08

Morning all Smile
A new day! It's 4dpo for me! Luckily I've got quite a busy day to take my mind off the TWW. 5days until I take a test Grin

Mum37of4 · 18/01/2024 11:54

heyy, newbie here, so not sure if I’m ovulating now, had bloods done Monday (for other reasons) and serum progesterone (think that’s the right word) was at 0.74 so not high enough for ovulation but yest and today cramping and constipation same as I do TOTM (not due on until 2nd Feb) but DTD 14th so I could have still managed to hit the window. Any ideas??
