Anyone else want to buddy up for the 2WW?

AF is due May 30th so I am 1dpo today.

I am determined not to POAS until 12dpo but I know I'll be caving by Monday Hmm

I’m probably a couple of days behind you (AF due somewhere between 31 May and 2 June) but I’ll join you!

Yay @Clettercletterthatsbetter My original AF date was 1st June but based on OPKs it moved so I've one foot on the May bus and one on the June!

Hi

I’m 4DPO with AF due 26/05. I’m not good at being patient in the slightest!!

@ELW85 Not patient either, not in the slightest!

@tisonlymeagain - it’s awful isn’t it?! When are you looking to test?

Not before 12dpo @ELW85 which is Tuesday 28th Shock Haha I'll never make it that far if last cycle was anything to go on. Think I did my first test at about 6dpo Grin like anything is going to show up then!

Ha @MeganMama28 in my bedside drawer I have loads of Internet cheapy strips, a FRER, a normal ClearBlue and two Digital ClearBlue. I'll probably be testing tomorrow 😂

I swore I’d be relaxed about ttc this time. I’m on month 2 and already on the OPKs!

Report
ELW85 · 17/05/2019 14:44

Yep - I’m temping, OPKs and a monitor from the US that confirms ovulation and predicts it 5-days ahead.
It’s just so much harder to get pregnant than we were ever taught to believe!!

Hello! Not sure exactly when AF is due as my cycles are all over the place following a MC at 7 weeks in March. But my best guess is very end of May. I got some OPKs but keep forgetting to use them.

@AlaskaWaves so sorry to hear about your MC; good luck to you! :)

Me! 2ww starts tomorrow. BFP/AF due 2nd June. I'd like to join in- it's a nerve wracking time and really lonely!

@sheep90 you’re in good company!

@Sheep90 You’re right it’s very lonely sometimes, especially if you’ve told nobody in real life that you are TTC. I only have DP to talk to about it and I try not to wang on to him about it too much!

@AlaskaWaves Sorry to hear about your mc. Fingers crossed AF shows up for you soon so that you know where you are and you can try again.

@ELW85 Ha, I know, I used to be paranoid about missing a pill because I’d get pregnant. Not been on the pill since beginning of March and and last month DTD nearly every day last cycle and nada!

@Clettercletterthatsbetter This is my third time TTC and I thought I’d be more chilled but nope!

@tisonlymeagain DC1 wasn’t planned, DC2 I got pregnant within a couple of months so there’s really no need for me to be so paranoid but I still am!

Positive OPKs today so I guess my TWW starts tomorrow...

@tisonlymeagain Couldn’t agree more - all those years of being terrified and now, we’re all like “WTF?! Why aren’t I pregnant yesterday?!”

Yep! They make it seem as though it's so easy to get pregnant so it doesn't prepare us for the reality that it can take a bit of time! X

@tisonlymeagain you're so right. I'm in that situation too. Tbh I don't know what my family would think. It's much easier if I don't tell anyone Grin

@Sheep90 Everyone I know would think I was crazy given and I don't need their opinions!

So today I did my temperature as I am charting and Fertility Frjend confirmed ovulation as CD14 based on this which would make me 3dpo and AF due on 28th Hmm But this conflicts slightly with OPKs and the Glow App still has me as ovulation on 2dpo with AF due on 30th. Last cycle Glow predicted AF for 3rd May based on OPKs and it came on the 2nd so I think I'm going to meet in the middle and assume AF will come on 29th?! So confusing! Either way I am either 2 or 3 dpo ConfusedGrin

@tisonlymeagain - sounds like O was overnight between CD14/15? Count it as 2.5DPO, haha!

Report
tisonlymeagain · 18/05/2019 09:44

Yeah that was what I was thinking @ELW85 that it could have been overnight. Which is fine, we DTD Mon, Tues, twice Wednesday and Thurs morning so hopefully covered all bases!
