Anyone else starting their 2ww?

Hi all

I think I am 2dpo and think AF is due 4th Feb so 13 days until I will be testing, if AF doesn't arrive.

I know it's not really possible to have symptoms this early but I have had frequent urination, excessive saliva and a slight metallic taste in my mouth today. I think it must be all in my head, because I don't remember having these symptoms the last time I had a BFP (which ended in an early m/c).

Is anyone else just starting a 2ww?

I've never been on the pill Anne so I can't offer any advice in that very sorry. When can you test?

So pleased friendly that you have your DH on board! That's great news.

I think I'm about 3dpo so weekend after next I'd say.

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/03/2016 19:16

Kate, when can you test?

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/03/2016 19:15

I've never heard of the bubble thing Kate! Exciting if you know it's a good sign. Fx for you!

Theaks, the whole thing is a bit weird when you think about it, it's unsettling when your body seems to be acting up. No pain, just lots of pinky cm? Hope you're okay.

Brilliant news there Friendly! You've got DC already?

This boobs thing is beyond a joke. Good to know it could be a good sign, I wondered but don't want to go mad symptom spotting! Has anyone had it from coming off the pill but weren't pg? So don't want to get my hopes up...

Lily35 · 13/03/2016 19:15

Is it stretchy cm Theaks?

HopefulKate1980 · 13/03/2016 18:56

It is like someone is blowing bubbles in your tummy. I have had it the three times I have been pregnant about 2 days after conception. I have just started to get really smelly wind (sorry TMI!) and that is another symptom I've had in the past. MUST NOT start this crazy symptom spotting though - it drives me insane. Tomorrow will be better as I can focus on work again.

Theaks · 13/03/2016 18:17

That's great friendly that you got DH on board!
What's the popping feeling like? Have you felt it before?

Ovulation bleeding, yeah maybe. Don't like my body doing these odd things!

HopefulKate1980 · 13/03/2016 17:52

Sounds v promising anne !! When can you test?

Theaks - could it be a bit of ovulation bleeding?

Trying not to get my hopes up but I have just started getting that popping feeling in my tummy quite noticeably. It may be gas though!!!

Shopaholic - how are you? What's the latest? Xx

FriendlyGhost · 13/03/2016 17:48

That sounds really promising Anne. My boobs suddenly got massive when I was pregnant with my dd. Both DH and I both knew I was pregnant before my period was even late because they suddenly got so big. It's definitely a sign!
My DH has just agreed to start trying properly soon. I'm going to start keeping track of my cycle to see if I can tell when I'm ovulating. Finding time to dtd is tricky so I need to make sure it counts. How are you all working it out?

Theaks · 13/03/2016 17:25

I'm okay thanks Anne.
I'm going to be truly disgusting now and ask a discharge question- sorry in advance. Just been to the loo and my word I was covered. Worried because it was pinky coloured and only on cd17.

Ooooooo sounds promising Anne. I can't remember what I was like when I stopped taking the pill. The only thing I remember was the cramping which I had never had before! That was a new experience that I didn't like. I don't remember those symptoms so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/03/2016 15:57

*weigh! Sorry.

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/03/2016 15:06

I've got a poorly DP and had a manic weekend.

Still got ongoing nausea, goes for a bit when I eat but hardly any appetite and off everything I normally like.

Also got the biggest boobs I've ever had. Boiling hot and very sore, way a ton. I'm in first cycle off the pill so could be normal hormones and AF due Friday. Either way I'm feeling very very hormonal!

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/03/2016 15:02

Really good you have a lovely doc Kate!

How are you doing Theaks? Good about your positive on ovulation.

Theaks · 13/03/2016 14:43

Glad that your body is getting back to normal- you have been through a horrible time.
That's good that you are seeing a consultant Kate, doctors wasn't very interested when I went. Said they won't help until 12 months has past since latest loss.

HopefulKate1980 · 13/03/2016 11:06

Oh I didn't know ovulation sickness was a thing lily? How are you today?

I've been pretty up and down. As you know, it was a chemical pregnancy that I had last time so was pretty miserable about that. I've also had lots of strange erratic bleeding since then which has been hard to cope with. BUT I've started seeing an amazing consultant so hopefully I'll be in good hands if we are lucky enough to get pg again. He was so reassuring and didn't seem alarmed with the fact we have had 2 MCs. He said at this stage we need to treat it as bad luck.

I ovulated a few days ago I think and we've had sexy time for the past few days so hopefully hopefully. I'll test in 13 days according to Ovia. My cm was textbook on Friday, the most stretchy I've ever had so hopefully. Although I had a scan on Wednesday which showed I have a tiny tiny blood clot left from the MC so it may scupper this months attempt but at least my body is getting back to normal.

Theaks · 12/03/2016 19:04

I'm a little confused this cycle. Ovulated - got a positive on cd14 but had no cramps this month when normally I feel cramping a few days either side of ovulation date. Very strange!

Lily35 · 12/03/2016 18:17

It's just ovulation sickness but hey ho!

How have you been Kate??

HopefulKate1980 · 12/03/2016 17:46

Hi everyone??

Welcome to the newbies. Let's get some positives this month!!

lily that sounds exciting?! When can you test? Weekend after next?? Sounds like we will be around the same time... Xx

Lily35 · 12/03/2016 15:42

Hi everyone!
How is everyone doing!?

I'm 2dpo, feeling nauseous at times and crampy....something is happening inside Shock

Too early I know for pg symptoms but it's nice to think it might be something positive after all this time....

iwillbemrsminty · 11/03/2016 15:36

I'll be waiting for you Smile fx for some good news!

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/03/2016 15:24

Alright, see you here in a week if not before. I'll wait if you do!

iwillbemrsminty · 11/03/2016 15:00

Grin me too! Our lucky DP's ha ha!

Yep going to try and wait until Friday (at earliest) to poas. Easier said than done! In the meantime, as you said, we need to keep practising don't we!

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/03/2016 14:41

Didn't ask you minty if you're waiting to POAS on Friday?!

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/03/2016 14:40

That's good to know it was fairly accurate, I did the same with my previous pill dates. Based on that I'm due AF in a week and will defy try and wait to POAS till them or maybe even Monday after as over 50% of me thinks it's completely unlikely it'll have happened this month.

I've spent the last however many years trying desperately not to get pg and getting myself in a spin about it whenever I've been late, that I've talked myself into thinking while I definitely feel crappy it's all in my head!

DP keeps looking at me funny and I know he'll be disappointed if we haven't had a miracle first cycle conception I'm distracting him with lots of practising!

iwillbemrsminty · 11/03/2016 14:21

Hi Anne yes next Friday too!! Think this is my second cycle? (it will be my second normal period since coming off the pill.) Bleurgh sorry you're still feeling rough, I'm feeling odd today, not ill just odd! Can't really put my finger on it. And had very very slight brown spotting (again only when wiping) this morning. I've used Ovia since coming off the pill and it predicted my last period more or less accurately when I had input the dates of previous periods, my last one arrived on CD30 instead of the predicted CD29, so pretty good. As for the other stuff, it remains to be seen! Are you going to hold off POAS until AF due date?

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/03/2016 13:31

Hello minty, are you due today or next Friday? I'm due next Friday. Still feeling rough, off coffee, biggie smoke making me want to hurl, keep getting hut flushes today, not sure what that's all about!

I started ovia as soon as I came off the pill and this is my first cycle. Didn't do opk so not even sure I ovulated and don't know how long my cycle will be as been on the pill for last couple of years.

Have any of you found ovia is accurate from first cycle off the pill or is nearly pointless for a while, until you've given it enough info?
