Another 2ww thread!!!!!

Random -anyone know about positive ov tests close to when AF is due?! Pregnancy test= negative but ov= faint line.

I didn't even get a faint ov line when the cbfm dual hormone thingy said I was on high & peak ( thought I would compare!)

Sorry to hear about bfn 59sound hopefully you will have bfp soon. Could it possibly too early to test? Can't remember from my first time! I hAd bfn this morning but I'm not due until Sunday but not holding out any hope.
Yay to vino baffers

On the plus side, had a big glass of red yesterday!

Bfn for me too this morning . AF due on Weds so feeling pretty miserable right now. Shouldn't have expected anything from cycle 1. Hey ho...

Did another cheapy test -bfn. Af not due until Sunday but was intrigued!

Having ov type pains so think AF is on her way :-(

Re summer babies- I agree candypop to begin with younger ones can struggle but they all catch up in the end :-) I'm also a qualified primary teacher just stay at home mum at the min. Be a shock to my system when I go back into that stressful job!
baffers sorry ertd arrived :-(
I will just keep ttc throughout the year as not even sure I'll be lucky to have another. Time will tell.

Ah sorry baffers, you can relax for the next couple of months and try again! I kind of felt the same last month (high expectations as we conceived DDC1 on first go) but realise we were just very lucky last time.

This will be the last cycle we will try then a break for two months for the same reason.

However I think detrimental is a big strong ! Both my DH and brother are august babies and well.... They both have very successful careers earning a lot of money!

I do think it potentially could be harder for them in the early years but this was definitely not true for my brother as he always excelled even being one of the youngest in the year

(Feel like I have to stick up for summer babies even though I'm being a hypocrite and taking a break last month if it doesn't happen!)

So AF arrived yesterday. I was really disappointed but feeling more positive now. Realistically, it probably wasn't going to happen after one month anyway. I did feel a bit like a failure with a shitty body yesterday, but I'm also glad I'd got a proper period 5 weeks aftre coming off the pill.
We're not trying next month as we don't want a baby born in the summer months as we think it's detrimental to them to be the youngest in their year (DH is a teacher), and now I am thinking I want to move jobs but don't want to move somewhere and then instantly go on maternity leave. Hurgh, think I'll end up staying here and not being paid what I'm worth :(

Morning ladies!

I have a question for ovulation experts on here!

When you get a positive on OPK, does that mean you are about to ovulate? So when you get this, shouldn't you DTD that day and maybe the next two days to have it covered?

Just getting confused as my fertility app highlights 5 fertile days with the last day being ovulation .... Why wouldn't it highlight a couple days after ??!

Just trying to plan out DTD Days ... So romantic

fruitysounds like you need a summer holiday. Teaching is incredibly stressful , I am a qualified primary teacher but not world since having my daughter.

AF is due next weekend so think I'm currently 8/9DPO according to my OVia app and I know ov time as using the clearblue dual hormone test.
Have tested with Internet cheaply and got a bfn. No symptoms whatsoever so not holding out any hope. Can't remember what/if I had any with my daughter!
I'm going to hold out until closer to the weekend then if no AF will probably test Friday as I am so impatient!

I've only been late twice. I use an app that tracks everything and I normally get AF bang on the day it says. You could set your watch by them lol.
I have used OPKs and have had positive ones so at least the hormone is there.
If I had to think of a reason I would hand on heart say we're just not DTD at the right times. I can say we probably miss the ov time though the one time everything went right I was a week late that month.
It is my first yes. We both work hard and probably don't get it on as often as we could as we both crash out when we go to bed. I just think we need a month of boinking lol.
We will get there. I just don't want to make it clinical with everything.

I won't vent too much as I don't want to take someone's thread off point or pass on my irritation and ruin someone's positivity.

I'm calmer now. There were tears and punching of soft furnishings this morning. My OH was out and I was glad as I don't want to take it out on him. It's neither of our faults it's just so frustrating. I guess the reality of how easy this isn't just gets me every month. Period pains and headaches not helping, nor is the fact I have planning and marking to do!

Onwards to next month... again. And this time if I'm late I'm not even thinking about it till im a month late!!! My body has done four days late one month and a week late another. As soon as I get excited it does this to me. I guess I just thought I'd be there by now.

Hate the world today. Hate being a teacher as I just want to sit and be annoyed and I can't! Hate setting everything back to zero each month.

Apologies for my obvious bitterness this morning. I do like having here as an outlet as while I do have people to talk to its sometimes nice to have people there who get it :)

So sorry fruity. Really rubbish and frustrating

fruity so sorry to hear. Have a glass of wine ... Or two ..... We are here to support you if you need to vent.

fruity sorry about AF arriving :( it's such a nerve wracking + stressful time.x

Hi ladies, am joining back in after last month too! Hi to those who have done the same and welcome to new joiners! Rainy I think we are fairly close as I think I O'd on weds/thurs. I'm going to attempt to hold out on any testing til next Sun (hahaha - as if).

fruity really really sorry AF is here and its been taking a while trying. It can be such an all consuming and frustrating venture. Sending hugs x

Hi Ladies, can I join?

TTC #1 Cycle 1, just entering my first ever 2WW! Came off BCP 3 months ago to see if I could get a bit regular first, back to a 32day cycle which i remember being before i started BCP.

I'm really thinking this is not going to be my month, it's only cycle 1 and both hubby and I have health issues that go against us so we will be v. v. lucky if anything came around this month, BUT no harm joining the 2WW

Congrats to everyone so far who has a BFP

AF arrived this morning on day 30. I'm so upset and angry I don't even know what to do with myself. I feel like this is never going to happen and it's been nearly a year of trying. I feel like a total failure. This shouldn't be so hard.

I'll make sense later when I've calmed down a bit.

fruity you are so good! You put many of us POAS addicts to shame! ??

mooley it's funny cause DH birthday is late July so I think he finds it a little offensive .... Ideally I would have wanted a baby pre-April , I wanted to wait to the new year before trying but DH wanted to start ASAP so we compromised and said we will try for two months and if it doesn't happen we will wait to new year . I have TWO friends who were super efficient and have DC born on 1st Sept! Now that shows real skills there

Not yet though I did pick one up. I'm feeling like AF is going to come so don't want to waste it yet!

Oh forgot to say fruity are you gonna test ??!!!

Hi all! Just had a week or so break from thread after last cycles disappointment!

Hello to all the newbies.

I'm current on CD9. Only did the did once since new cycle but from today will be aiming to do it EOD and then everyday when I get a positive on OPK. Not sure if it's best to do it every day in terms of sperm quality etc so advice would be appreciated!

Have also got preseed this month. Question for those who use it, should I start using it now ? ( is there any point) on only during my fertile period (so from CD11 onwards )

My aim this cycle is to try keep calm, stress levels low and not POAS till AF is due.....

Do I feel lucky this month?! Hmm not sure!

mooley this will be my last month trying too until the new year! Sounds really stupid but I didn't want a baby born second half of the school year (yeah I know STUPID !) so this cycle would mean I would have a mid-June baby..... So gonna avoid a July /August baby if this cycle doesn't work out .

I'm back!
I've given myself 2 weeks off where I've tried (ahem) to eat well and not drink etc and am now back in the 2ww. That's gone quickly! Fingers tightly crossed for this month. So to recap ttc #2 after MMC in June. Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday so AF is due the day I am due to be a bridesmaid!! Have plenty of HPT in the cupboard and I'm not even going to pretend this time that I won't be peeing like mad from next Wednesday onwards!!
I will now go and catch up with what's been happening since my 2 week break!
