Hi guys. Thought I would start a new thread for anyone else in early 2WW for support, symptom spotting and venting :) ... I am currently 3DPO .. AF due 5th August .. Hoping she doesn't come ... TTC baby#2 already have DS who is 4 ... Feeling cramps , have a major headache but as well all know these are very common at this stage due to hormones anyway.

I think I have a mental block against graphs ha ha - none of it means much to me!

I'm currently enjoying 2WW - can just relax for a bit before the itch to POAS kicks in! Nice to go out for a couple of glasses of wine with my friend without worrying about rushing home to DTD ha ha

Hopefully you get your temp shift soon then it does look a bit confusing but like you say the temp of the room will make a difference. I'm using the app Kindara to chart my BBT I find it really helpful as there is a community on there of people who share their charts to and you can kind of see how different everyone's cycles are. Have attached my chart aswell.

This is my chart from Ovia - it may be that I just don't know how to read it! I got a positive OPK and static smiley face on CB digi on CD19. Our bedroom fluctuates in temperature massively and has been very cool over last couple of days, surely that makes a difference too?

Hope AF doesn't get either of us, but looking at my temps - I suspect she may be coming.

Hey Pyjamas81... Did you get a temp spike at all on your temps then. Mine were a bit all over the place but I have managed to work out where I roughly ovulated due to the increase in temp after. I'm just hoping it stays high and AF doesn't show. I have Ovia too but mine tells me to test when AF due which is the 5th. Let's hope neither of ours show!

I'd like to join if that's ok?

I'm v early in 2WW - I got positive OPK last Sunday (CD20) so am counting Monday as ovulation day putting me at 2DPO - it's so hard to work this stuff out!! My temps tell me nothing as they vary hugely day to day despite doing it at same time as soon as I wake up, no EWCM etc so the only real indicator I have is OPK testing and a few random pelvic twinges!

Ovia is telling me that AF is due on 2nd August, but telling me to do pregnancy test on the 7th!

I know it's hard not to get our hopes up ... Implantation bleed sounds promising if that's what it was , you never know that one time could have been the perfect time.

Sorry name changed but its still me. I have noticed that feeding my son has gotten a bit painful which is unusual and had a tiny bit of spotting a few days ago that was very similar to the implantation bleed I had with DS, am trying not to let myself get carried away though as we only DTD once so it's very unlikely. Oh sounds promising with the symptoms as well :) hopefully its your month for a BFP then.

Hey ZoeB2016 ... Of course , are you having any symptoms so far ? I am charting and using OPK's and got a positive OPK 2 days before ovulation so I'm hoping I have a good chance.
