TWW Day 1

[Clara202]

My first ever two week wait! Day one post ovulation, if I’ve done the maths correctly! Anyone else?

Is anyone testing today? I’m still going to hold out until tomorrow with fmu but hubby wants to do it together and he leaves for work at 5.30am so just told him to wake me up! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I woke up today and there was no blood at all, got a little bit excited but now there’s a proper flow so I think it’s undoubtedly AF. I was due on Saturday according to my app but I was always a bit irregular and I’m only off the pill so things may be a bit unpredictable for a while. I must admit I do feel a little hard done by that I didn’t even get to pee on a stick!

I’ve tested this morning and negative, keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow

@Clara202 so sorry about AF. Start peeing on sticks earlier next month to get your fix! Or ovulation sticks. Look after yourself.

@Anon2822 hopefully you will see something tomorrow 🤞🏻

I didnt test today by some miracle I found the willpower not to. Getting a negative yesterday at 10dpo really put me in a low mood. Still getting the odd pain/twinge but it could be AF for all I know getting ready. Time will tell. @Clara202 Sorry about AF arriving for you, fingers crossed for next month.
@Anon2822 How many dpo are you?

I’m 8dpo so still early, praying tomorrow will have a shadow of a line 🤞🏼

@Anon2822 8dpo is early for testing but I get the need for testing, I couldn't help myself test early too. Fingers crossed for everyone testing tomorrow 🤞

Ladies I’ve had my BFP! It is still very faint but I’m only 11dpo trying to stay calm and enjoy the moment. Hope we have some more positives on here today!

@LS888 omg congratulations!! 🎉 I'm resisting testing despite being 12 dpo, I'm just so terrified of seeing a negative and I feel AF is definitely going to arrive anyway. I see you was up early too, bet you were so excited to see that line!! Enjoy the feeling ❤️

@Pennyroses my husband didn’t want me to test without him here and he was leaving for work at 6am so we agreed he would wake me up! I have been feeling sick for 2 days so had a feeling I might be but didn’t want to test either in case it was negative. I was also due yesterday and no AF and I’m always between 28-30 days and yesterday was day 30.

keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

@LS888 aww how nice you did the test together! Congrats again ❤️🎉
I just have really strong AF symptoms, I'm really emotional and boobs are sore like usual, it just feels like it's coming but we'll see. If it's not here by Sunday I'll do a test 🤞❤️ x

@LS888 congratulations! Great news to wake up to and see someone from the group get their positive, may it all go well for you. Hope to see more of you post the same good news over the next few days 🙏🏻

@Clara202 Thanks ☺️ hoping this one sticks it’s still very early days but trying to stay positive. Have another reflexology appointment this evening so that is times well!

@LS888 Congratulations 😊

12dpo and due my period in 2 days. Another negative this morning so Im going to stop testing now and wait for AF to show

Can anyone recommend good OPKs? I had used the fancy clear blue ones. The ones that are meant to go from empty circle, to smiley, to static. I went from circle to smiley with no flashing. I’m wondering if I missed a window as a result so mains I should get done cheap ones and test daily?

@Clara202 I used the cheap pound shop ones from a shop called Deals, Im in Ireland. I definitely got my peak on them because the line was stronger than the control line. I'll be buying the same ones again for November

@Clara202 I used the easy at home ones bought from Amazon. Couldn’t get my head around the clear blue ones.

@ThatSnugSwan I actually had a feeling you were Irish, so am I 👋🏻 I’ll pop into Dealz on my walk home later 👍🏻

@LS888 I was just there waiting for the flashing smiley and all of a sudden it went from nothing to static so I probably do need to see the gradual progression myself to ensure I don’t miss the window. Something else to get the hang of!

@Clara202 you can use the Premom app to read the test strips for you which I found easy to use. I think as long as you record a lower test strip after your peak it will show you your peak for that cycle. Good luck!

@Clara202 must be the way I write 🤣 7 in a box in Deals so pick up two boxs just so you can test twice in the day once you see the line getting very strong

Af arrived this morning. Disappointed but we move to another month. Hope to see more of your bfps here 😊

@ThatSnugSwan sorry to hear, at least we can start the next cycle a bit sooner than we’d anticipated…and I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to a few drinks this weekend 😁
