1dpo - Anyone want to join during the two week wait?

Hi all, currently 1dpo. Hoping for a lucky month. I lost my twin boys a few months ago at 29 weeks due to TTTS. Two days before this I had a beautiful scan and two perfect babies - only 6 weeks away from c-section. And two days after my scan - our world fell apart. I had no movement and all of a sudden, I was told one of my babies had no heartbeat and then four days later, we had to remove life support from his twin brother as he was so ill. My sons were beautiful, visually perfect babies who were so unlucky. I miss them terribly.

So Here I am 1dpo and hoping for the best. Would love the support from any other hopeful ladies and in turn I'll support ye too. Much luck to us all 😀

@Ella31 I don't feel ovulation either, I thought I was the only one!
Still no sign of my peak. I'm wondering whether I've missed it but I really haven't had any indication of a darker line so who even knows 😕

Can you remember what your last cycle was? Mines a little darker but still waiting. I ovulsted on cycle day 25 last month. I'm on 18 tomorrow

I ovulated CD23 and also on CD18 now. I've never really been too regular though, but definitely much less regular after having a baby and that was 17 months ago now!

I'm less regular after my boys and I was very regular so that must be connected. Hopefully we'll ovulate in the next few days

I’m 6DPO, having cramping for the last few days, slightly tender nips, but today I seem to be constantly piddling. I was up 4 times in the night and in the past hour I’ve been 2-3 times. Is this a good sign?

(I’m not going to be testing for a good few days yet, but I’m hoping this is a sign that things are happening?) Am I going crazy?

Ella31 · 26/02/2024 13:45

My god the difference between 8am and this afternoon. Hopefully ovulating tomorrow

@Negangirlxx sounds good but you just won't know for sure just yet. So early for symptoms but not to say it's definitely not related. I am 3 days PO and I feel so tired today but I've been doing a lot of walking the past two weeks without a break and my LO still wakes quite a few times in the night so I am putting it down to that for now 🥴😂 Won't be too much longer until you can start testing though!! Exciting! 🤪

BabyBorn · 26/02/2024 15:29

Oh is that how it works @Ella31? Progressively gets higher and higher the closer to ovulation! I didn't know that!! 🤣🤣🫣 suppose because I can feel ovulation that on only test if I feel like it might be coming as I get so bloated around 24 hours before and I test and I am correct every single time. That's the only time I test x

BabyBorn · 26/02/2024 15:30

@Ella31 hopefully this will be it for you soon then!! X

I know, I’m counting down to when I can test. I had the frequent peeing last time I was pregnant, but that was closer to 12DPO, so I did think it was a little unusual.

I’m just hoping for a BFP.
I keep watching other people’s TikToks and hoping the good luck rubs off on me. Sad, I know.

2BabyOrNot2Baby · 26/02/2024 18:14

Ooh looks like it's happening soon @Ella31!! Better get to baby dancing 💃🏻🍀

Even your fainter one is a lot darker than what I've been having. I don't know what's going on, no sign of a peak, I'm just now getting really slight cramping and had a little bit of what looked like old blood mixed with cm this afternoon but nothing since 😕

BabyBorn · 26/02/2024 19:18

@Negangirlxx I am trying not to count down this time. I'm just trying to lose myself in exercising, cooking and keeping busy with my LO. Fresh cooking daily and walking so many miles a day has really helped me take my mind off things. Otherwise I drive myself crazy!!

Yeah I’m trying my best not to think about it, but it is very hard! Especially when your body is giving you all sorts of weird symptoms.

BabyBorn · 26/02/2024 19:45

@Negangirlxx yeah I get it. I was exactly like that for all the previous months. It's just 3 weeks ago I started trying to become healthier and exercise more. Will wear off next month probably!! lol x

I’ve been there lol. I always start with good intentions, do it for a few months, then fall off the wagon! 😂

@2BabyOrNot2Baby keep testing. My surge was so fast. It was literally non existent last night.

It seems to increase for me but its fast. Like low one day and blazing the next. I don't get any pain but I get a lot of egwcm

Spoke to my husband about what I had yesterday afternoon and seems to think there's a possibility it sounds like an implantation bleed (also had very light cramps and lower back ache) but I'm really not so sure.

This month has completely got away from us and we've only managed to DTD once on the 17th 😕 also had a wisdom tooth out Friday and that is still hurting really bad so don't think even if my peak arrives we'll be able to manage it. Fingers crossed for the rest of you waiting though 🤞🏻

Do you reckon you ovulated earlier, @2BabyOrNot2Baby , would it be worth taking a test?

Hi everyone! After an unsuccessful first cycle, I’m back for my second. I’ve attached my OPKs, I’ve not been able to catch the “peak” everyone speaks of yet. I had a lot of wet cm this morning but it was like water with a bit of EWCM in it. Not stretchy at all!

I started temping this month too but I keep forgetting to do it on a morning! I’ve attached my chart anyway. I’ve been waking up at the same time and try to do opks at the same time of day but it’s hard when I’m at work 🙈

@Ella31 oooo go BD!
I got my peak yesterday, had another load of EWCM this morning and have had niggling/cramping on my right side. I usually only ever feel anything on my left but it was pretty intense this morning.
Just waiting for my BBT rise over the next few days to confirm ovulation then into the TWW.
Have you got anything planned to keep you occupied during the TWW?

Fantastic, fingers crossed for you. Nothing planned but I'm really going to try to stay level headed. I did myself so much harm last month with all the worrying

You are on the right track @MrsStormtrooper , they look like they are darkening. Also any cm is good, hopefully it will be stretchier in the next few days

I'm really not sure to be honest. Got him to pick a test up on the way home so will try first thing in the morning but will carry on with the others either until I peak or AF arrives
