TWW

Hello! Anyone just starting their TWW? There's a couple of other TWW threads going but it feels like they're a bit older now with people testing already. I'm 2DPO - anyone else early on?!

@imy having expensive tests is a good strategy! I’ve got the cheap ones and keep testing and it’s torture!
@Nic2908 i caved at 7dpo too! Now 11dpo and still BFN so am just waiting for AF now

Yep I would definitely be giving in today if I had cheapies! I used them up last month and so saw this as a good opportunity to just have what I actually want to use! Unfortunately I think I have Covid :( I'm really worried about how this will affect my chances.

I'd definitely have done the same as you!! It was fun in a way doing the covid test earlier 😂 at least I got to do one kind of test 😂

@Nic2908 I'm in the same boat! Got the cheap tests and did one today at 7DPO….obvs negative 🤣

Bonniexx · 12/07/2024 15:18

Can't believe I caved and used a FRER at 7DPO 🥲🥲 obviously negative!!

@Bonniexx I’m still wiping blood (not bright red, more old looking) but no blood in the toilet as there usually is when I’m on my period. I had cramping yesterday/last night but then it stopped. I’m just soo bloody tired today, & feel quite sickly too.
Not sure what to make of it all, not had this happen before. I’ve only got 1 test here and I don’t want to test too early, trying to hold off until next week when my period would actually be due. Fingers crossed it’s implantation bleeding I am experiencing, time will tell I guess!xx

Sorry, I feel like I absolutely encouraged that 🤣🤣

Bonniexx · 12/07/2024 17:31

@imy oh noooooo, none of us have any self-control 😆 I would love to say that I’m not going to test now until AF but realistically I will be testing every day! We are all still in with a good chance x

This made me chuckle. I haven't bought any tests, none in the house. Otherwise I think I'd be just like you guys! 🙈

imy · 12/07/2024 17:57

We're all as bad as each other 😂🥲 I will definitely be doing a test a day now. I'm 8DPO tomorrow so feels reasonable!!

@imy get the cheapies so you can indulge!

i am officially out! CD1 today… and so the count down to the next surge begins

I deliberately didn't because I thought it would help me to resist! I have learnt my lesson 😂 sorry to hear that this month wasn't your month. Onto the next one 🤞🤞🤞

PurpleOrchids12345 · 12/07/2024 21:59

@imy Thank you! do you think you will be able to resist testing for a few more days?

Bonniexx · 12/07/2024 22:07

@PurpleOrchids12345 sorry to hear that AF arrived. Fingers crossed this next cycle is the one! Onwards and upwards ❤️

@minimims2 ooooh that sounds promising! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

PurpleOrchids12345 · 12/07/2024 21:59

@imy Thank you! do you think you will be able to resist testing for a few more days?

Absolutely not 😂 firstly I'm too impatient! But also I actually find testing is better for me because once I've done the test it's out of my head for that day. I don't obsess like I do if I'm waiting and wondering! I did a test when I first woke up (5am thanks to covid 🫠) which was negative but I'd expect that so early at 8DPO. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I just had a temp drop at 10dpo back to usual AF temp so I think I’m out for this cycle.

I’m the same, I would rather test everyday and then forget about it rather than thinking about it all day and not knowing!

As you've seen I'm in the same boat. It's so early and so let's wait a couple of days before we count ourselves out!

Nic2908 · 13/07/2024 08:04

Morning ladies, sill negative at 8dpo 😩😩😩

May100 · 13/07/2024 08:33

Morning ladies! I'm living through your tests right now, so thank you! 8dpo too but not testing unless I end up being late (6 years ttc, can't bring myself to keep doing it) but I've made it to 8dpo without a sight of my period so hormones seem to be balancing out since failed ivf cycle (I'm trying to think positive but I know I'll still be sad if it's another negative cycle)
