Just started 2WW- BFP due 20th Feb- come join me??

I'm due the 20th too op! First positive opk was Thursday and had another yesterday. We have had a lot of sex, but for some reason this cycle I'm not hopeful, have a feeling I won't be pregnant for a long time.
A few of you I was on the jan bus with but I name changed. So this is cycle 2 and last cycle I had a week of faint pos to then bleed. Our cycles are synced I think squeaky lol. X

Drewswife we married last year too, dp is 13 years older and not cancer cells but I had abnormal smears and biopsies last year too, and even that worries me as to what effect it had! The docs are all adamant the man's age is irrelevant though.

It's awful isn't it - you work really hard to not get your hopes up each month and try and tell yourself you're ignoring any "symptoms" but every month when af comes it's the same story - you realise you'd been kidding yourself and you totally were conviced this was the month :(

We got married last year. My Dd is 18 nearly and I had cancer cells removed 2 years ago. So I am a little reluctant to get my hopes up. Hubby is also 11 years older and has no children. He is panicking that he is a Jaffa .

I'm just not hopeful. Today my boobs are itchy. Not sore. My nausea hit again last night. But I'm a night shift worker so that could be right.

I think I'm just worried about getting my hopes up

Drewswife implantation is between 6-12 dpo and it should show up a few days after that happens, 9doo I think is average but everyone is different. I usually try and wait until 3 days before I'm due on with first responses but last month I convinced myself six days before was fibe as the box said so. Every symptom going, convinced myself it was negative as just too early to test... And then AF came three days early. Gutted and got really upset as my one hope before then had been that at least my periods were regular ha.

Ticking along ok this month so far - back to using the opks I'd sworn off ha. OVed bang on dates. Had been doing SMEP but have just had at it every day since AF finished. Going to test on 19th which incidentally as well as being three days before AF due is also the date DH is having his, er, sample tested!

I really thought it would happen straight away, which is silly. I have 3dc and dh has 2dc from previous marriage, this will be our first (and last ha ha) if it happens.

I don't know. When should I test? Oh I find this all rather confusing.

Can I join too please? Af due 19th feb. Been using Cbfm and 1st peak was 3rd feb x

Can I join? I'm due 18th. 6dpo I think. Hit a wall of nausea yesterday. I could just be tired. Been spotting for a couple of nights. This is 3rd month for me

I already have an 18 year old.

And I obsessively symptom spot every month :(

AF due 22nd here - so am still in fertility window and I'm already counting down days until testing... Now in about month 8 of trying I think

Thanks Ember Fingers crossed for you too!

I've been crampy too Bobo - quite pinchy cramps which is different to the usual dull ache. Don't know if that is good, bad or nothing at all! 4dpo today so still too early for implantation... Gah! Wish I could stop thinking about it!

I know I've turned into a total nutter - must not symptom spot!! Thanks Squeeky and to you too x

Hi Squeeky & all also on my 2ww!

Positive OPK on Tues. and temp spike of 0.6c this am so let's hope it's a sticky one and temps remain high.

Feel a bit sick but also have a cold and probs reading too much into the nausea so just have to wait...

Fab weight loss Meanne congrats fingers crossed for everyone x

Oh I promised myself I wouldn't do anymore symptom spotting, I'd just get on with things. At DPO 4 I swear I feel like AF is about to start, feels like I'm having really mild cramps . It's horrible as I know it's most likely all in my head! Anyone else getting this??
I'm sure my quest to not symptom spot will not have been aided by me spending last night deciding which prams I'd like to look at!! Lol

Definitely Bobo!

I have to socialise quite a lot with work, so it's been quite difficult saying I won't drink, but since Christmas I've been making a conscious effort to cut back.

I wouldn't say I'm making too many differences to diet, as I eat fairly healthy anyway.

That's amazing weight loss...well done you!

I think the trick with SMEP will be to try and not have everything become too clinical......could be difficult! Ha ha!!

Bobo, I don't drink much anyway (think I've had about two glasses of wine since Christmas) so no change there.

I am trying to eat sensibly but no major changes. I lost over 4st on slimming world 3 years ago though which I have (mostly!) kept off. In an ideal world I'd like to lose another stone before I get pregnant... but I want a baby more!!

What about you?

I'm tempted to try SMEP next cycle too. Not sure DH will keep up though!

Oh, I try to talk myself out of feeling overly positive every month, but this month I'm fairly hopeful. Fingers crossed OPK's will do the trick, although if they don't I think I'll be doing SMEP religiously next month!!
Are any of you girls trying to change your diet or watch what you're drinking whilst TTC??

Yep, identical cycles!

I don't know if I can stand the excitement. The next two weeks will drag so much.

I'm not feeling particularly hopeful though if I'm honest. Not sure we have done enough.

Hopefully this 2ww will go quickly!! And end in bfp's for all of us! (Hi maeanne )

Hi! I just started the 2ww too. BFP hopefully due on the 19th. Used opks for the first time this month and got my first positive on Sunday evening. Think I ovulated yesterday.

Nice to have people to share the agonising wait! (Hi Bobo!)

Hi ladies hope you don't mind if I join!

I hoping for a bfp on valentines day..I have been using opk and also ladytimer app which is brilliant! We have been trying for a around 3 months but only really just worked out when I'm ovulating and when Af is due, plus OH was very ill for the first month so don't really count that! The last few months I have been bding after getting positive OPk but this month we have done it the day before, day of and day after, hopefully this will be our month! Is this everyone's first ttc? X
