5DPO - Anybody want to join me in the gruelling TWW?

[TTCJourney26]

Currently 5DPO and scouring the internet daily for people in the same boat 😂
29, TTC#1 for 8 months now

Currently 7dpo and going crazy! Did a test this morning, no idea why, was never going to show. Fingers crossed you get a positive this month

Only 1DPO here but yep; in a fairly similar boat!

I’m 6dpo today! I have long cycles (40 day average recently) so the whole cycle is agonisingly long 😭 I had a BBT dip this morning which I thought I read earlier in the week could be a sign of implantation, but Google tells me differently today and says it’s normal even when not pregnant! Fingers crossed for you x

Wishing you luck this month 🤞🏼

And you! It’s ridiculous how long those days can be isn’t it!

We're on the same timeline! Two weeks seems so long.

Hey, I am either 5 or 6 dpo I think. I hate this waiting.

It's ovulation day for me, month 15 ttc no2. It's one year since I conceived (mc) so it would be a nice symmetry.

It’s awful! I have a strong feeling I’m out this month but we shall see!

I’m 7dpo. Thinking about it multiple times a day even when trying not to! Would ideally wait until 14dpo to test but probably will test at 12.

Hi Everyone, hope you don't mind if I join. You all seem roughly around the same DPO as me.

Im 7 dpo, 35 years old and in my second month of trying for my first. My partner had a reoccurrence of testicular cancer and was told that they did everything they could to preserve fertility but that it would probably be hard and take a while if it does happen. We are trying naturally for now but will look to see what help is available if nothing happens. It's only the second month but I'm already finding it hard not to get excited about testing even though I know it unlikely to be positive!

Hi! Wow I’m sorry to hear that about your husband, sounds like you’ve been through the mill but hopefully they have preserved fertility as much as possible! It seems to take a lot of time for a lot of us, I’m 29 no health issues (that I know of) and I’m on month 8 of trying now, so do your best not to be discouraged if it takes a little while

It’s so hard isn’t it! I’d love to find out on Valentine’s Day but I’ll only be 8dpo so that idea is out the window… I’ll probably test anyway 😂

Hello,

Just thought I'd pop in!

I'm 7DPO today- obviously tests are negative.

I'm not sure I'm having any symptoms although I feel a lot more wet down there, if you get me.

@TTCJourney26 I think our cycles are similar 😊

Hello 😃 yes I’m also 7dpo today, all my ‘symptoms’ that I thought I had earlier in the week have disappeared and I’ve dried up today. I did also did a test this morning and obviously negative!

Ah man - if you were going to do a FRER - what day would you do it from? I’m 9dpo today and thinking of buying one to arrive from 10dpo but also not sure it’s worth the money given I could try a cheapie strip from 12dpo (last pregnancy it was positive then), and it might be too early anyway?

I think 10dpo would be a good time for a FRER for sure! I also have Wondfo which were cheap on Amazon and they measure low levels of HCG (10mUI/ML), I would definitely try them as heard great reviews. I got them on prime so they could also come next day to you ready for your 10dpo day tomorrow.
I just did a Wondfo test at 8dpo and I’m certain I can see a vvvfl, the top one is yesterday (7dpo… crazy of me I know) and the bottom is just now at 8dpo?! Or am I going insane 🧐

2 weeks and you’ll know if you got pregnant or not! Wishing you luck this month 🤞🏼

I see it! Mine looked like this yesterday and now I’m 9dpo and I feel like this is definite? I’m abroad so can’t get a pink dye till I fly home (I did the ones I brought with me at 7dpo and 8dpo as I’m impatient and crazy)

Yes that’s a super clear line to me! How exciting, also you have more self control than I do for just taking 2 tests away with you 🤣 I’d be at the pharmacy by now 🤣

I didn’t say I did one a day 🤣 I brought 7 and an FRER 🤣 and have had two trips to the pharmacy since! Absolutely bonkers me! I’ve had two chemicals in the last four months, so I am not counting any chickens yet. Very fertile (for an old bird), just need to get sticky now. The pink dye was one I got from the pharmacy yesterday, but questioned test reliability, until I’ve had two obvious (I think) clear blues today

Oh wow I was totally wrong about the self control then! 🤣 No I don’t blame you whatsoever, I’d be exactly the same! All of your tests look positive to me, I can see something on the pink dye from the pharmacy too. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for you that it sticks 🤞🏼

Thank you! I think I’ve been on a thread with you before! Hoping your shadow gets darker, I definitely see it! Get an FRER quick x

Ahh no, I’m totally new here! Made my account a few days ago after obsessively stalking every post I could find from Google 😃 Thank you! I will do! X

Ah there must be lots of TTCjourney accounts then! Fingers crossed this is your month? Do you feel anything yet? Xx
