TWW - Early October

[30somethingandtired]

I'm 2DPO today so right at the beginning of the 2WW.

Anyone else?

[LRC44]

I’m 6DPO... it’s been such a long wait already

[30somethingandtired]

It feels like forever doesn't it @LRC44 .

Trying not to get my hopes up, but just can't help myself. Fingers crossed 🤞

Hi! I think I'm around 6DPO today but haven't had the usual symptoms of ovulation 🤷🏼‍♀️ so cant be sure.. I have had cramps Sunday and Monday so im thinking maybe implantation cramping? If so how long after implantation can you test? Driving myself crazy 😂 x

[30somethingandtired]

I'm not sure @obkb , I'm going to try and waiting until the day after my period is due, but I know it will be hard to resist the temptation to test.

[LRC44]

@30somethingandtired It’s so hard not to get your hopes up!

@obkb I think implantation is around 6 days after ovulation, could test early but always the risk of getting negative tests if HGC levels aren’t high enough to detect - just test every day and hopefully get a positive result!

[obkb]

@30somethingandtired @LRC44 I'm trying my best to not test but it's so hard! Why do we find it so difficult to resist?! Sunday and Monday I had moderate cramping and everyday since then I've had mild cramping on my pelvic area like right across. Not all the time but they're the only symptoms I'm having so not feeling very hopeful! How's everybody else feeling? X

[Flossylou]

Hi all can I join pls... 6dpo. Have already had every symptom in the world but then tonight feel like they've all gone. It's going to be a long weeek...

[30somethingandtired]

Welcome @Flossylou

I've had headaches and back ache for the last couple of days but I think that is more to do with work than anything else. 4DPO for me now so still a long way to go.

Feeling really tired as well, would love to stay in bed today but that's not an option 😞.

Hope you're all ok, keeping fingers crossed for us all 🤞

[Flossylou]

@30somethingandtired I had really bad cramps and tired at 4 & 5 dpo. I've got sore boobs but I think I usually do the second half of my cycle.. I've had a whole array of other fleeting symptoms.

I sometimes think when you want something so much your body tricks you into having symptoms so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Really resisting the urge to test as I'm now 7dpo as it's not impossible but unlikely.

Hope this is a lucky thread for us all

[SMiles14]

Yay I am so glad I found this thread, I was just thinking about making a new one Hope it's ok if I join.
I am 2DPO Today and have been doing SMEP. I am just waiting for my third high temperature Tomorrow to confirm O.
af/bfp due on 17th. Fingers and toes crossed for the latter

[HappyMouse]

Hi everyone. I'm 6DPO. I'm so pleased I found this thread! The wait feels like such a long time! I'll keep looking to see how you're all getting on. Xx

[30somethingandtired]

Hello @SMiles14 and @HappyMouse

I think so too @Flossylou bodies just play tricks when you're really hopeful. Too early to be over anything really, so I'm guessing anything at this stage is just wishful thinking.

This is my first month tracking BBT. I got the raised temperature for ovulation. What should I expect over the 2WW, does it drop again or stay high until AF?

I'm half thinking that my BBT going up just coincided with me turning the central heating on, but I managed to get a positive OPK too so should be ok.

[SMiles14]

@30somethingandtired it drops before af comes... attempting to post a pic of a month when mine did an obvious drop. It's quite a useful/ depressing sign that af is coming

[Flossylou]

@SMiles14 @HappyMouse welcome hopefully this is our month!

@30somethingandtired haha yes it's officially heating season! I have no idea about bbt I tried to do it but forgot to do it before I got out of bed everyday so gave it off as a bad job!

[obkb]

Ohhhhh I've poas! why why why 😂 I think negative but hubby thinks he sees something?? I'm about 7-8dpo I don't really know! See what you guys think? It's his fault he's bought me 3 whilst I was at work 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

[30somethingandtired]

Awww how lovely that he is so excited @obkb !

I can't see anything yet but I'm rubbish at finding faint lines. Plenty of time yet so don't be disappointed.

I've picked up a few cheap-y tests today but I'm leaving them in the car to try and put me off using them just yet!

Keeping everything crossed for you, hope you get a really clear BFP soon.

[Flossylou]

@obkb I can actually see a shadow!! Fingers crossed it will develop.

I've got a cupboard full of ice and some frer but I'm trying to wait a while... it's hard trying to hold off.

[WutheringShites86]

Evening Ladies, I'm on the same schedule as you guys. Think I ovulated Sunday/Monday, DP and I had the weekend and rest of the week off work so plenty of opportunity thankfully! Trying to resist symptom spotting but keep thinking I've got signs of implantation today.

Does anyone know if implantation usually happens on the same side as ovulation? Or is that completely daft and unscientific of me?

@obkb that looks like a very faint squinty positive to me!

[Flossylou]

Hiya @WutheringShites86 could well be implantation, was it like cramping? I had bad cramping 4/5dpo so hoping it was implantation too!

[obkb]

@30somethingandtired thank you, I wish I'd have seen that idea of leaving them in the car beforehand 😂

@Flossylou oh really?! I feel like I want to test in the morning now but I should really wait! I'm not even due on until next Thursday. So hard to resist 😂

@WutheringShites86 if what I had on mon/tues was implantation then I had it all across my pelvic area! Ahhhh I wish Thursday would hurry up 😂

[Flossylou]

@obkb yes definitely see a shadow and it's always less visible on camera. Have you got a frer?

[Lew2016]

Hey girls, new to the board! But in the TWW. 4/5DPO and it's the longest 5 days ever!! What signs have you guys had?! I have constant back ache today not sure if that's a bad sign and AF likely to appear soon? My LP isn't always the best!
Also had creamy CM!? Sorry tmi

[Lew2016]

Totally see a faint line @obkb ♥️

[30somethingandtired]

Thanks @SMiles14 I got totally distracted by @obkb 's test and didn't see your answer to my BBT question.

This is my temp chart so far. The only day I haven't remembered to temp this month was ovulation day itself (typical! 🙈).


Hello and welcome to everyone new. We're becoming a nice group. Hopefully we get lots of BFPs between us.

Today, I have wanted to eat EVERYTHING. I'm not sure that's a sign though, think I'm just having a fat day.

[WutheringShites86]

@Flossylou I've been getting a stitch like pain on my lower right side with the odd cramp across the front of my tummy and lower back. I'm sure I ovulated on the right this month as I get a spot on my chin on the left or right alternately each month at that time.

I fell pregnant last December but sadly had an early miscarriage in January. I had similar feelings at around this time past ovulation then and had really early pregnancy signs at 7 days past conception - v.v. sensitive and painfully tingly nipples which isn't my usual pms - hence currently sending myself batty with symptom spotting!
