Anyone else starting their 2ww?

Oh my god Shopaholic I am so so pleased for you! I had hoped that was why you had been off this thread! The biggest warmest congratulations to you and DH. I understand why you are going to keep it to yourself until 12 weeks, but that must be such a lovely secret to have between the two of you. How are you feeling?? Any symptoms?

Thanks for your kind words re: my back. I am going to an osteopath later and I am hoping to be mobile enough tonight to dtd. I so hope this month works.

Congratulations again. That has made my day! It's great to hear about pregnancies on this thread.

I hope so too! At least the sun is shining here.

I'm on day 14. Hoping the left side pain is signs of ovulating!

What cycle are you on? Been ttc long?

Hi Anna... It totally sucks. I'm not that busy this week but I have tons to do round the house. Hopefully it'll fly by. :)

What day of your cycle are you on?

Welcome Frantastic! I hate the TWW too - not that I am in it yet but...

How are you Anne? Remind me where you are at in your cycle??

I have had a rough few days and a very confusing few days. I put my back out yesterday morning, and it was so bad my CEO marched me home. So I spent yesterday just in bed staring at the ceiling. The pain was SO immense. I eventually got quite bored and so started thinking about when I could start to TTC again.... So I did an ovulation test - the first was negative as it was a new pack, but then by the time I had gone to bed, I had done two more tests and they had gone from HIGH to PEAK. What the f*ck?! I am on CD7 today and supposedly in my fertile window? Normally I am fertile CD9 onwards. Do you think it's right? I had EWCM yesterday and today it is sticky and creamy which suggests I have ovulated. All very strange and far too early!

Anyway, despite the bad back, we are going to DTD tonight and hope I haven't missed my window. I knew cycles could be disrupted after a MC but this is slightly ridiculous!

The other bugger is I am having to take LOTS of co-codamol to ease the pain and valium at night which I am worried my harm conception or ovulation.

Hi Frantasic, it sucks. Have you got a nice weekend ahead of you?

I'm having really sharp deep achey pains in my left inner hip area, might be ovulation? Really localised. Annoying and sore.

How's everyone else?

Hi- I'm approx 3/4 dpo. I hate the TWW. 😩

They say only folic is needed. All the rest of vit and minerals come from diet. But I suppose it wouldn't hurt, there is lots of conception supplements out there.
I did some research and fed DH salmon around fertile days and swapped his chocolate to dark. And made him smoothies with walnuts and blueberries every morning- think he thought he was getting spoilt by the wife!
It does for me. I suffer from SAD and found that I needed to use my light therapy less over winter months when I took vit d. Going to move onto the all in one supplement like pregnacare once I run out of vit d.

I'm not sure if folic is enough or whether an all round conception supplement is meant to be better. Read different advice in different places.

Does the vitamin d help you with sleeping?

Received wisdom?
Been taking folic for 2 years and vitamin d for a few months now. Vitamin d I took to help me sleep!

DP's on those too! And he's trying to drink more water. Fingers and toes crossed then.

Vitamins, preseed, less dtd, fingers and toes crossed.... Are you on a conception/pregnancy supplement or just folic? I'm only taking folic. What's the received wisdom?

Thank you Kate. If you feel like you need a scan then defo ask. I was fed up of scans at the end- was fed up of being poked and prodded!
Anne my DH was taking the wellman vitamins! Dont know if they did the trick or it was meant to be. But anything that could help is worth it

Hope AF isn't too rough Kate and glad you're feeling chipper and optimistic! Could you ask your GP about a scan? Can't do any harm and might help settle your concerns, as you say.

You don't sound neurotic at all!

I'm going for dtd every other day and have DP on man vitamins! We'll see if it does the job this month. I hope so. But also feeling pretty relaxed about it, lots of fun things to look forward to.

Congratulations Theaks! Great news. Wish you are v happy pregnancy!

How is everyone else?

My AF came on full force on Friday, nicely timed for my weekend away! I knew nothing could stick this month with the blood clot I have retained but feeling positive now and hoping it is all clear now for this month. I wonder whether I should get a scan to double-check that it's gone? I feel like I need piece of mind but then again I don't want to get neurotic as that isn't good for TTC!!

Lily, how are you doing? Did you have a nice Easter? Hope the drive went well and you had a good time with your family.

My next super green zone is from tomorrow according to Ovia, due to ovulate Friday. We're at a wedding so need to not get too tipsy and crash out before dtd!

Thank you Anne and Lily. I'm hoping for 3rd time lucky!!
Yeah had a few twinges but seem to be less. Nothing over painful x

Congratulations Theaks !

Theaks! So happy for you. How are you feeling? Cramping lessening? Sending you a hug x

Welcome Littleheart!

Thank you Littleheart and welcome and good luck! X

Congrats Theaks! Stay sticky LO.

And hello ladies, can I join in too? Due to test in 10 days according to ovia.

My returned mid Feb so decided to buy an opk and get more in tune with my body. Always had irregular periods and DD was a surprise (found out at 14 weeks) so much of this is new to me. Got high fertility starting 21 Mar so have dtd a few times and got peak a couple of days ago.

Good luck to everyone else x

Morning ladies. Update: got bfp this morning! Still getting cramping- which I don't care for too much.
Hope everyone had a good Easter x

Yeah wasn't too bad today. Odd pain! Feel really period crampy but no AF yet!

Busy day today of baking lovely treats for my family tomorrow. Then I will be putting the apron back on tomorrow afternoon to bake a birthday cake for my mother in law!

I'm beyond shattered. The DSCs have been manic and the Easter weekend fun has been interspersed with melt downs and hecticness. I'm too tired to eat and DP and I have crashed on the sofa surrounded by stuff everywhere. Horribly early start. Need. Sleep.

I'm so sorry lily, that's crap and you're allowed to feel rubbish about it. Still waiting for AF?

Theaks, I haven't ever had that apart from the odd shooting pain quite low and sharp with period pain. Has it gone now? I hope your DH was looking after you x

How is everyone today? I was out shopping with DH today and got really horrible shooting pains that felt like they were going up the lady area. Had to stop what I was doing and of course I cologne explain to him at the time in case people over heard. Anyone experienced this before?
