I’m 1dpo today, does anyone want to join the TWW?

[Digger35]

This cycle I had a very quick peak!
On Cycle 2 so far, fingers crossed 🤞

This is my results now but I don’t have the line there like some have but I think it’s because I haven’t done it long enough maybe? Ignore the first point though as I did that as a test at 5pm the day it arrived 😂

My peak was on the 11th and slowly decreasing. I'm a day behind ad wasn't thinking it would peak higher 😅 counting today as 2dpo. I think we managed 4 times in the 6 day window.

Still feeling crampy here and tired. How is everyone else feeling this morning

I'm feeling super tired too, about 5dpo,
Not felt this tired constantly in a very long time...
the wait just seems so long to find out if I am or aren't

The wait really does feel like forever! One of my pregnancies I knew by day 7 I was pregnant I just felt sooo pregnant so hopefully it's a good early sign for you 🤞

My lower back is hurting this afternoon! It's my first ovulation for a long time and I used to always get lower back ache before ovulation but not after

Ah I see! I’m not expert but I think you get a dip when implantation takes place then it should rise
The waiting is so painful! I haven’t had a chance to check my app till now , I’m 4dpo and feeling crampy with a strange pulling / twinge pain and very tired!

That’s good that it’s decreasing & you managed to cover your fertile window! We only managed to DTD once before ovulation and once on ovulation day. So we shall see! I am feeling very tired too and crampy, AF due in 9 days but feeling quite positive!!

It only takes one time! They are definitely good signs! Got my fingers crossed for all of us here!

Looks like we are all feeling the same symptoms atm, I've had lower back pain today and slight amount yesterday, still tired.. although have had an iced coffee so that gave me energy..

6dpo tomorrow will test because they say that the HCG hormone starts secreting? Might be too early to detect ofcourse but the wait is agonising I'm gonna test AM and PM starting from tomorrow..

It's crazy because the first time when I was pregnant with DS I didn't test until missed period 😅 for some reason it's the complete opposite for me this time. Time is going so slow.

It does indeed look like we have the same symptoms. I'm still crampy today but not as tired today (probably because I'm not at work lol).

Hi everyone where is everyone up to in their cycle? I'm 6/7dpo (6 going off Premom and 7 going off fertility friend where I'm charting BBT). Not had any symptoms but looking back at my previous pregnancy I didn't have anything then either until about 11/12 dpo.
When is everyone going to test? I think I may test 9dpo if AF hasn't arrived as my LP has been 7-8 days my last 2 cycles so 9dpo I would technically be late

Morning ladies!
I am 5dpo today, was just prepping tonight’s dinner and felt really nauseous cutting carrots haha. My back is severely hurting so having a sit down for a minute. We DTD last night and it was so painful, it never normally is. I’ve read it can be around ovulation but I wouldn’t expect it to at 5dpo. So I’m not sure what that’s about. Last cycle my period started today (cycle day 24) but I ovulated early (cycle day 12) This cycle I’ve ovulated cycle day 20

Hi, I’m new to ovulation testing I hope you don’t mind me asking - when you get your ‘peak’ are you assuming you’ve already ovulated or are about to ovulate? Or does the first initial positive signal ovulation?

Hey, I'll join 🙂

I'm 8DPO today. 17 cycles trying after a MMC last year.

I won't be able to test early as I'm away with work Monday - Thursday next week and not testing while I'm away - not giving myself a positive or negative to cope with while I'm working away.

So not testing until Friday next week, and I feel like I need some people in a similar boat to help get me through what's going to feel like the longest wait!

Sore boobs today, which I'm trying not to read into as I've been here before... many times 🤦‍♀️😂

Hi, that's alright. We all have to start somewhere. On OPKs that test LH you usually get a surge approximately 12-48 hours before you ovulate. The only way to confirm ovulation is by taking your bbt (basal body temperature) or by taking some progesterone tests (these can be expensive). If you have any conditions like myself (pcos girlie) you can have multiple peaks in a cycle where your body is trying to ovulate. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions, I really don't mind helping.

Hi,

We will be test buddies, though I have had the urge to test already, I'm also trying to hold out. Only 5DPO today so way WAY too early, but I had such a sharp cramp that lasted a couple of minutes yesterday, which I don't normally get.
This meant I did my usual thing, take to Google to research when does implementation occur. (Really I should stop this habit but I can't help myself) 😂

Hi all, I will join. I'm 2dpo and this is first month ttc following a mc in May at 6 weeks. So now it is the waiting game...

Hey @Digger35 sorry don't know how I missed this! This will be my first, so all very new and exciting 😊

I've just caught up with your latest posts/symptoms and I've been experiencing some of the same. My lower back has been noticeably sore, this morning it was so painful just lying in bed! Seems to have got a bit better now, though replaced by some lovely heartburn (can blame last night's takeaway for that, woops). And we also DTD yesterday and I found it really painful, which has never really happened before. It caused some uncomfortable cramps during and immediately after.

I know this all sounds like symptom spotting but I totally think they're just random rather than signs of anything exciting! As feel my chances are low this month. But still interesting that we've had a lot of the same things this cycle. I'm about 7po today.

Are you feeling optimistic? 🤞🍀

Joining this thread though we’re not actively trying yet, we’re just not being careful. Think we DTD twice around the fertile window this month but as not tracking I’m not entirely sure. Problem is I can’t really do TTC casually so I’m already sure that next month I’ll be properly tracking 🙈 5dpo according to my app, could be more, don’t think it’s less. Going for baby #3, both of my others took over a year to conceive, hence wanting to try and keep it casual to start with before the obsession kicks in.

Good luck everyone!

I'm hoping to test end of week friday/Saturday which would be early but I have had some early positives before! This week feels long areadly waiting 😅

Welcome @BussiBop23 @Amy341 @ThisSparklyDog @2or3whatsittobe

I am thinking of starting to test Friday too. I'll be 9dpo. We only dtd twice which was before ovulation. Let's hope this week brings some bfp!!

Hi @StephiW

I also google every symptom and what I should expect at each DPO. My boobs are sore, but I also keep touching them to check if they are sore, so that's probably making them sore 🤦‍♀️😂

In reality, we've got to keep ourselves busy and distracted. I've got a busy work week, so hopefully, that will help. When are you planning to test?

Oh I see it’s your first! How exciting for you! Have you been trying for long? Oh bless you heart burn is not nice but not having to cook is worth it sometimes haha My oh suffers from it so I know how irritating it can be. My back and abdomen was cramping all morning, went swimming which relaxed it a bit and seemed fine after 12pm. Ah you’re 7dpo, I am right behind you at 5dpo. When do you think you’ll test?

I'm trying to hold out until Friday but my willpower is not the best. I'm currently around 5dpo today. I'm still tracking my lh just to make sure, which has gone down, as it should.

When are you going to start testing?

Think I'm out again this cycle. BBT has dropped, although not below cover line it is very close ☹️
