TWW Day 1

[Clara202]

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

I had a HCG blood test done yesterday at 8dpo and it was negative, do you think I’m out? Has anyone else had early bloods that initially returned a negative result before them getting a positive

@Clara202 Thank you. Yes Im already chilling the wine for a glass later 😌 Fingers crossed for November for both of us

I have no answer Im afraid but 8dpo is too early Im guessing as implantation can happen between day 6 and 12 past ovulation. So I think you are still in with a chance 🙂

@ThatSnugSwan sorry AF arrived, think I'm following shortly behind you. Mines due tomorrow and I've been cramping a lot today so I know it's just around the corner 🙁 hopefully we'll all have better luck next month 🤞

How is everyone doing?
I started back with the ovulation strips on Thursday. Negative Friday, negative Saturday, flashing smiley today. Had ewcm this morning as well which I don’t remember having last month. DTD today. Will do again tomorrow and Tuesday morning. I have to go away for work Tuesday-Friday so won’t be near Husband for those days. Typical timing!

Hi @Clara202 Looking forward to another month. Im abit confused with my cycle I had EWCM on cd8 so I done the ovulation strips yesterday and had a strong line but not positive and again today on cd10 it looks like its fading so Ive no idea what's going on so Im just going to dtd every second day if I can convince himself haha
I also Didnt get any ewcm last month but did get a positive ovulation test but wondering if I ovulated at all last month. Happy to actually notice the ewcm this month it gives me some hope

@ThatSnugSwan im the same, it’s been years since I’ve seen this as I was on the pill for so long so it was a relief to see it this morning, just to know that certain things are still happening anyway. I’m CD13. Hoping I ovulate between now and Tuesday 🤞🏻

Yes Im the same Im sure the contraception I was on was also the reason for it. Reading your comment Im sure you will be covered if you get to dtd Tuesday because it can stay upto 5 days waiting so fingers crossed its a good month and we get our bfps this month. Im very distracted this month as we have started to look at wedding venues so Im hoping I wont drive myself crazy during the tww as ill be busy wedding planning

Enjoy the wedding venue hunt, so many fab places you won’t be short on options anyway!

@Clara202 Thank you 😊

Used an old expired pink CB ovulation stick last night as I ran out of the new purple ones. The pink one that shows two fertile days, as opposed to the purple that goes empty, flashing then static. So I got a flashing on my last purple yesterday, and an empty circle on pink. This morning used pink again and it’s static. I’m taking that to mean that I’m going to ovulate tomorrow and that Wednesday will be Day 1 of the TWW. Here we go again 😅

Thats great @Clara202 🙂 Do you find them easy to use? Im just using the cheap ovulation strips
I got a slightly darker line on my opk this morning so Im getting close I think, Im guessing Thursday or Friday.

@ThatSnugSwan they’re very easy to use but pretty expensive. I did mean go get the cheap ones for this cycle but the time flew by, I have some ordered but won’t be here until tomorrow.
The apps had me ovulating on the 1st so I thought I had more time but they were almost a week out. I wouldn’t have tested at all so early only for the ewcm giving me a bit of a heads up. The flashing smiley yesterday then just confirmed something was happening.

The apps are the same for me on the 1st but Ive noticed ewcm on cd8 and again today on cd11 so Im wondering if ill ovulate a day or two early. Sorry tmi 🙈 but I only see the ewcm in the morning time and this morning it is very egg white looking. I told myself Id relax and won't use the opks this month but after getting cm on cd8 I was so confused but the line definitely isnt dark enough for ovulation but I think close. This is today's test.

As I’ve never used them I’m not sure how they should look but I’d be DTD every two days to cover your bases, you can’t be far off I’d imagine

Yeah @Clara202 thats my plan and Im hoping the tww goes fast this time 🙂

Anyone in the two week wait? I’m 3DPO.

Not there yet @Clara202 How are you feeling at 3dpo? Today is cd14 and should be ovulation day according to my apps and it was cd14 last month but Im still not getting a positive on the lh strips. Been getting some ewcm on and off since cd8 and some again this morning. So I think its just a guessing game this month

I’m quite crampy on my left side but I was the exact same last cycle and we all know how that ended 😂 I don’t have the sore boobs that I had last month just yet anyway.

@Clara202 Hopefully its your month and youll have good news soon for us. Will you fall into the obsession of testing early do you think? Im really gona try not to this time. I tested at 9dpo or 10dpo think it was last time then Af showed a few days later

@ThatSnugSwan i wasn’t going to test last time until the 12th day but I didn’t make it that far. AF landed 9DPO. If I make it to 10 days this time I think I’ll test then.

Im going to try to wait until 10dpo also. Im not sure when to count 1dpo from. Tmi but I had some more ewcm alot of it just now, cant understand how Im not getting a positive lh test. My lower left side is cramping too. Im thinking I got a faulty box of opks. Im sure Im ovuating with the amount of ewcm

I had loads of ewcm on Sunday but only a flashing opk and negative on pink. I had no ewcm on Monday but a static smiley. I think ewcm is something that happens prior to ovulation rather than during but I’m open to correction. Absolutely no harm in getting a new box of opks though.

Im thinking its also possible I might just ovulate later this cycle. Ill get another box and just test for the next 5 days and see how it goes

@Clara202 How are you? Im cd18 today and started getting strong pains so I bought a different brand of opks and its the strongest line Ive got this month but its not positive yet I'm guessing tomorrow it will be so looks like Im ovulating very late this cycle. I knew something wasnt right so I'm happy now I actually tested today
