Anyone around 3dpo and settling in for the 2ww?

I've just hit the 2ww (according to FF chart) having missed last month as I didn't ovulate in a stupidly long cycle of uselessness!

Super happy to have simply ovulated, but trying to remember that's just a small part of the battle in getting upduffed.

Anyone else at the beginning of their wait and want to hand-hold compare symptoms?

Same as me too! I'm trying to hold off testing until Friday. I suspect my willpower may weaken though...

sunshinemeg · 30/06/2015 16:39

Same as me then goodbye. I have fingers crossed and will test Friday but not overly hopeful this month. Good luck!

GoodbyeToAllOfThat · 30/06/2015 07:35

I'm 9DPO (I think?), AF due Sunday (I think? First month tracking). I have lots of tests ready to start tomorrow morning.

Superworm · 30/06/2015 07:25

How is everyone getting on?

Im CD 9 today. Was planning on doing the smep but feel rubbish with a cold so not up to dtd at the moment, might have to play catch up once I've recovered.

Namethattune · 29/06/2015 12:19

Did anyone test over the weekend?

sunshinemeg · 27/06/2015 19:33

Hi, can I join please? I'm going mad.
We conceived dd first month, first try. she is now 16 months and we are ttc number 2.
We are not a couple with a high sex drive, so tried timing things as much as I could. We dtd at the end of the fertility window that my app suggested, and I had clear ovulation pain a day and a half later.
I am now 8 days from when AF is due and trying hard not to symptom spot. I had EWCM a day after the ovulation pain, but life got in the way from any more sex. I now have some cramping which I'm desperately hoping isn't AF arriving early. Confused

RalucaMorena · 27/06/2015 17:54

I tested 4 days ago and bfn. I am cd30/ 12dpo today.
I don't want to keep testing as last month I kept getting bfn so each was like a nail in the coffin.

I checked cm today and it was watery but a bit more than yesterday when it was almost dry.

purplecat27 · 26/06/2015 18:47

Raluca 11dpo is good right?!

I'm feeling anxious today. I've had pain in my lower back and hips on and off all day which is making me feel worried but not sure if I should be or not Confused. I just wish the next few weeks would go by at triple speed!

Good luck to those of you still waiting to test.

GoodbyeToAllOfThat · 26/06/2015 16:39

You're pretty restrained, Raluca! When will you test again?

RalucaMorena · 26/06/2015 16:35

11dpo/cd29 took a test 2 days ago and bfn.

Yorkshireflower · 25/06/2015 22:12

I could test Saturday but the OH wants to be there so we find out at the same time. Hold off girls stay strong and positive ????

Lovelyjubbly95 · 25/06/2015 19:36

Its really hard :( but ive felt so rubbish since Monday that something must be going on whether it's symptoms or general illness i dont know...

Namethattune · 25/06/2015 19:34

Blimey, 8dpo is brave! I'm going to try to hold off early testing this time, but I know from experience that my good intentions don't always last. Desperately trying not to symptom spot as well. It's so hard!

Lovelyjubbly95 · 25/06/2015 17:01

Hi namethattune yea course! I think i will be testing possibly at wkend if i feel brave enough altho wld prob be a bfn as wld only be 8dpo by sunday.

Namethattune · 25/06/2015 16:11

Lovelyjubbly can I be your buddy?? I'm 4dpo ttc #2. Will be doing a tactical test 3rd July as due to be drinking that night, although af not due til 5th.

RalucaMorena · 25/06/2015 14:23

Tested yesterday @ 9dpo bfn. Still dizzy but not as bad as yesterday. Tomorrow af should start. Still having cramps in my cervix so I'm not optimistic

Lovelyjubbly95 · 25/06/2015 12:47

Hi may i join ? Ttc #2 with dp. His first, my 2nd. Ds is 8. Been ttc for 18mths, had mc in feb at 6wks.
Currently 5dpo and trying not to symptom spot but im feeling really rubbish this wk and wonder y...not due to test til 2 july.

Yorkshireflower · 25/06/2015 12:26

Congratulations to those who have a BFP so far.
I'm almost at the end of my 2ww. I've tried not to symptom spot, because this is what myself and the other half want so badly, on top of that it is too early. However my body hasn't been it's usual self if that makes sense? It's possible that it is wishful thinking I know.
Hopefully on Monday I will have the answer we want. I'm cautiously excited. Fingers crossed for everyone.

Welshcake77 · 25/06/2015 07:27

Are you ok Raluca? Have you tested?!

How are you feeling Lara and purple?

RalucaMorena · 24/06/2015 18:53

Oh guys! I'm so dizzy! House is spinning around!

LaraNotCroft22 · 23/06/2015 21:30

Hi guys.

Sorry about the af's Hmm fingers crossed you get your bfps soon.

We didn't do anything different this month, just DTD when saw ewcm, and the two days before and day after ovulation.

I was also tracking my temps to make sure I ovulated, as I haven't been every cycle.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Raluca!

Sorry about AF Welsh

I'm going to be 40 next year so get the time thing. DS is also three and was conceived first time. Always planned to start TTC earlier but i haven't felt ready until now.

Hope you had a better night purple I was up most the night with DS as he had a temp which wouldn't usually worry me but he had a non blanching rash over the weekend so I was stressing!

The smep looks like the way forward. I'm using CBFM too - fc for this cycle.

purplecat27 · 22/06/2015 17:31

Sorry to hear you got your AFs Super and Welsh, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you Raluca.

Welsh I really loved telling him, I was worried he'd freak out but he was just really happy Smile. Also I've no idea whether this contributed but I did 4 things that may have improved our chances:

  1. I drank a cup of decaff green tea every morning.
  2. I made a smoothie for breakfast every day in my Nutribullet with the main ingredient being a whole grapefruit.
  3. I used Yes Baby organic lubricant and coconut oil every time we DTD.
  4. We followed SMEP.

I'd been drinking the green tea and using the Yes Baby and coconut oil since we started TTC, but I only started having grapefruit a few weeks ago, and this was the first cycle we tried SMEP. I'd also been taking Centrum 'before and during pregnancy' vitamins and OH had been taking a daily multivitamin. However I've always taken a daily multivitamin because I don't eat meat so I've always felt I'd better have one just in case!

RalucaMorena · 22/06/2015 16:57

I'll be 37 in a couple of weeks so I kinda get impatient/ worried. Cervix cramps usually means af soon so I am not optimistic

Welshcake77 · 22/06/2015 16:08

Oh how annoying Super! FC here too for you Raluca.

Hope you feel better soon Purple. And hope you and Lara enjoyed telling your DH's! That is a lovely moment.

AF arrived for me today too. Apart from timing/following SMEP is there anything else I/we could or should do to improve our chances?? I'm going to be 38 in August and panicking a bit about my age.
