Getting through the TWW - 6DPO!

Hello,

Just starting a thread to keep my mind busy and see if anyone else is in a similar boat!
TTC our second (DD was a complete accident and she's just turned 4 so it feels like the right time to try for a sibling).

This is our third cycle but first of trying using OPK's and got my peak on 21st with predicted ovulation on 22nd (I actually got my peak a few days earlier than my other tracking app predicted so thinking I've probably missed my ovulation the last two cycles). DTD on 21st and 23rd which I'm hoping will have been enough as Christmas has kept us busy and genuinely not had the energy 🤣

Anyone else currently making their way through the dreaded TWW? I'm trying not to symptom spot or test early this cycle as I definitely got caught up in it last month which was beyond disappointing when AF arrived.

Sending positive vibes to anyone else trying this cycle!

Currently 7dpo over here 🙋🏻‍♀️ cycle number 5 of TTC #1. When do you plan on testing?

Aww we are like cycle twins!

So this month I'm going to wait until 14dpo (assuming AF doesn't arrive) - drove myself crazy with early testing last month so trying to wait it out to the end this time.

How about you?

SarahFlower · 27/12/2024 15:23

I'm thinking of waiting too. Similar situation here with driving myself crazy with testing 😂 at the very earliest I'll test at double digits so 10dpo 🙈

OrangeRainbow · 28/12/2024 10:03

I'm currently 7DPO and time feels like it is going so slow!!

MadeWithL0ve · 28/12/2024 10:31

I am only 2dpo but been trying for #2 for 9 years , a couple months ago I lost my tube to an ectopic, hoping 2025 is our year 🤞🏼

I'm going to wait until my period is due. It will be hard though!

Same here, holding out til AF purely because the early testing can be so disappointing!

MadeWithL0ve · 28/12/2024 18:03

I still have about 12 days to wait before I can test 🤣 I'm trying to be chilled this time round 🥴 the wait is the worst

AF is due 2nd so I'll test either 3rd or 4th of Jan if AF doesn't arrive but I feel like she's on her way

StillTrying10000 · 28/12/2024 21:10

Ahh TWW is the worst! I’m an early tester and thank god as it put me out of my misery early. Good luck! xxx

Clara202 · 28/12/2024 22:18

I’m in my 4th cycle of TTC #1 and I’m 7dpo. I have all my usual pms symptoms though so I am not very hopeful but I will test at 10dpo if I make it that far. I could really use that line going into the new year 🥹

SarahFlower · 29/12/2024 11:32

9dpo

My boobs are really sore, last night I started to get a sore throat and woke up this morning to a really sore throat, there's also some white patches on my tonsils. Probably not related at all, as got BNF this morning. My LH level has risen by 0.11 since yesterday though

Keeping everything crossed for you! I've not had any symptoms but part of me thinks that could be a good sign as last month I had everything and it was BFN 🤣

Why do we do this to ourselves!

momofonex · 29/12/2024 17:36

8DPO here! BFN though even on a first response test. Can't describe it but just have a feeling I'm out this month even though it's early

OrangeRainbow · 29/12/2024 20:46

I've had some on and off pricking/tingling type pains in my lower abdomen yesterday and today... could be implantation, could all be in my head!!

How many dpo are you? :)

OrangeRainbow · 29/12/2024 21:26

@AudreyJL I am 8DPO I believe!

@AudreyJL I am 8DPO I believe!

Hope what you're feeling is implantation! Keeping my fingers crossed for you

RRB · 29/12/2024 21:42

My cycles has been so erratic I have no idea how many DPO I am (I did do a OPK but I don’t think it was right - it had me peaking a few times in the month 🤷‍♀️) - all I know is I’m CD30, nauseous with tingly nipples.

Currently testing negative but praying for a positive test soon. (My last few cycles have been 37-44 days)

Im torn between not getting my hopes up and desperately wanting to hear from people who ovulated late in there cycles 🫠

ThisOrangeCat · 29/12/2024 23:46

7 dpo here on my 5th cycle ttc#1. Will probably be testing around 2nd or 3rd of Jan, as AF due on 4th.
Fingers crossed for us all!

MadeWithL0ve · 30/12/2024 09:56

I'm only 4dpo and Idk if it's cause I'm ill I have these symptoms or im over analyzing it all, I have sore nipples not overly sore but noriceab, lower back pain also cramping and heavy sensation in lower pelvis, far to early to be implantation so unsure what's going on
