1 dpo - 2ww buddies

[hannah1201]

I'm 1dpo today - anyone want to join me & save me from going insane over the next 2 weeks? 😂

@Henski congrats!

@minimims2 I feel like my eye is catching something 🤞 hopefully it's more clear tomorrow!

I'm 1dpo today. Not high expectations as we only managed to hit O-1 in the end, but with my DS I conceived only with O-4 so you never know!

@minimims2 I can see something! Keep us updated with the next test 😍

@zalmentra we only managed O-1 this month and I got my bfp yesterday so you never know!

@minimims2 any update from this morning has it got clearer?

@MocktailMe i think I can still see something, not sure if it’s got darker though - what do you think?

In my last pregnancy I got my boldest positive at night time on the first day of missed period rather than in the morning for some reason! So may test again before bed x

What strength are the tests? 10 or 25?

@Rolo104 assuming your question was for me? I’ve honestly got no idea, they’re the Sainsburys cheapie tests and they say they can be used 5 days before a missed period so I’m guessing 10? X

Congratulations!

I am 7 dpo. For those one who are still waiting, when are you going to test?

@minimims2 how many dpo are you?

@LucyCL I plan to test if my period is late. I am going to Thorpe Park on Sunday to ride the new rollercoaster (11dpo) and have promised my eldest I'll go so don't want to know before that if I'm pregnant! Last time, I tested positive at 10dpo and I was resting every day from 4dpo, even though I knew it was physically impossible to get a BFP that early!
With my eldest, I tested positive about 9dpo so must have implanted a bit earlier.

@minimims2 hard to tell from the photos. I'd be very surprised if that brand was 10, as looks like a supermarket on which is usually 25. Try with an internet cheapie you can get about 50 tests for less than a tenner! Good for like progression. Rooting for you!!!! Hoping to see a nice blazing line soon xx

@LucyCL I'm anywhere from 7dpo to potentially only 2/3dpo - I have PCOS so show multiple peaks on OPK, therefore guesstimate from cycle length (28-38 days) and cervical mucus.

I tested first time today (as if it's to be a 28 cycle this is the earliest possible) and totally neggo but I didn't really expect anything else. I'll test daily now until I get either a period or a positive! I'm currently on cycle day 23 so even if I caught I could be waiting another 10 days or longer to know 😭 I hate TTC with irregular cycles!!!

8 dpo and having some very light spotting. I'm now very worried this is an early period. My period usually starts at 11 dpo.

This is sensible ... : ) Thank you for sharing! I hope you will get a BFP soon!!

I have read this on Proov website.
"During the follicular phase, estrogen is the star. For roughly days 1-14 of your cycle (for those new to cycle days, day one is the first day you have your period), eat 1-2 tablespoons each of fresh ground flax and raw pumpkin seeds per day. These seeds naturally support estrogen production (by containing lignans and zinc), but can also help in clearing excess estrogen, also known as estrogen dominance.

In the luteal phase, after ovulation occurs, progesterone takes over at center stage. After ovulation or roughly on day 15 of the cycle, switch from flax seeds and pumpkin seeds to 1-2 tablespoons each of raw sunflower and sesame seeds per day. Sesame seeds (high in zinc) and sunflower seeds (high in vitamin E) help with progesterone production during the luteal phase.

Continue eating sunflower and sesame seeds daily through day 28 of your cycle or the day before your period should come. You then switch back to flax and pumpkin seeds once you start your period again."

I suffered from a MC and a CP and my hormone levels are affected and I ovulated a week later than the normal date. For the ones who have tried the seed cycling, is it really helping you to balance the hormone levels?

It could be implantation bleeding?

Although you have PCOS and I suffered from 2 MCs, we are still quite similar. After the first MC, I didn't know when I would ovulate and my hormone levels were affected so I gave up using cheap LH strips to track my ovulation date.
After a CP, I had 3 LH rises and the line got darker and fainter repeatedly so I didn't know when I would ovulate. So, I can understand you more or less. Luckily I used LH strips and CB fertility monitor to help me to identify my peak.
I can only suggest you to keep testing. : ) Good luck and baby dust to you!

Possibly, it's in the right time frame and at least now is very light & blood is more pink/brown than red. I don't normally get pre-AF spotting but I'm also in the process of my hormones readjusting after stopping the pill 4 mo ago.

Just jumping on this thread, currently 3dpo. I know it’s too early to be getting symptoms, but I’ve been getting really tightening feelings in lower abdomen and pinching in the side of my left ovary, anyone else had anything like this and gone on to get a BFP? Looking for some hope!

The only thing that's really got my hopes up this week (aside from sex 6 times over the ten days stretch I'd expect to catch ovulation in and feeling like we stand a good chance) is that I'm still very wet down there currently. It's got a thicker feel to it than it did over last week and the weekend, but hasn't dried up at all really. Leaving whitish stains in my underwear which isn't unusual exactly but is unusual this far from my period. Hoping it will mean something positive.

I've considered temping next month to confirm OV and stop the wondering how many DPO I am in 2WW, but I work shifts and sometimes finish at 5pm, sometimes 2am so am concerned it won't be accurate. Does anyone else work shifts and successfully used one? Expensive if not suitable!

That makes sense, your body is gradually returning to its normal state before the pill. I stopped the BC pill last March then I waited for 6 months for my body to get back to normal. I was lucky because my cycles were normal until 1st MC this Jan.

I am NOT really symptom spotting.
From dpo 5, I started to have vivid dreams
From dpo 6, I started to feel thirsty
dpo 7 (today), I saw dried up CM on my underwear

Just wonder if any of you are experiencing similar things?

So far (5DPO) I feel exactly the same as I always do at this point, which is a bit disheartening 😔

Hey everyone can I join? I am 5DPO on first medicated cycle TTC with letrozolle already going mad 🤦🏼‍♀️🤯🤪

Don't be discouraged! At 5dpo you wouldn't have even implanted yet so nothing to cause symptoms x
