I hate the 2ww dazed!! I'm always full of hope until I get to the dreaded 2ww! Seems to last forever...

purplebella · 28/10/2016 17:08

So sorry to hear that cooperbug, never had one so can't imagine how that feelsFlowers
Also, big hugs to vox, will you test again or wait til AF is due?

Dazedandconfusedtoomuchpeppa · 28/10/2016 16:28

Was convinced I was out this month but just went for a run and now am cramping and have lots of creamy CM. Wish the 2WW wait was over!

I decided to test yesterday. It was a BFN which was no real surprise as I'm only about 9DPO. I had really weird cramps yesterday though - like really mild period pains, but still approx 9 days until AF is due. My CM has been really creamy too which is unusual - I barely get anything but have noticed it this month - mostly after I've been at the gym.

Vanillaradio · 28/10/2016 14:06

I had one every single morning whilst pregnant with ds! I think the guidelines allow you 1-2 coffee a day dependant on strength and other caffeine (chocolate countsSad)! Can't live without coffee!

purplebella · 27/10/2016 22:33

Oh thank god!!! Just the one in the morning, that'd do me lol

MouseLove · 27/10/2016 21:16

Naw you won't purple. You're allowed a certain amount of caffeine, it's just that most women just cut it out completely to avoid having to count it.

purplebella · 27/10/2016 21:10

Have fun MrsG! You just end up putting your life on hold while ttc don't you!? As soon as I get a bfp(if only!) I'll have to give up by beloved morning coffee😭

MrsG280516 · 27/10/2016 15:17

Thanks for replying purple I wouldn't care, we normally have nothing going on but it would just happen to coincide with this wedding and then a party the following Saturday! Sods law.

purplebella · 27/10/2016 15:05

Yeah you'l be fine, I read that too. Cos the baby wouldn't be 'attached' and not sharing your blood! You've deffinitely got an ok from me lol

MrsG280516 · 27/10/2016 14:05

Does anyone drink during their 2ww? I've got a wedding to go to on Saturday and would like a few glasses of wine, I'll be 5dpo. I think I read somewhere that alcohol doesn't effect anything until after 5 weeks pregnant?

*strongest suit. (How do i edit these posts?!)

bluesdetoi · 27/10/2016 11:36

Lulu my period is also acting out, normally by day 3 its light, but this morning I also encountered a blob of god knows what. Feel good thinking that it will leave a nice pad for a baby though lol.

This AF is dragging on and I just want to get this show on the road.. Patience is not my strongest friend Hmm

purplebella · 27/10/2016 11:12

Mint new pad! You do come up with some funnies flapper! I'm in the 2ww now. Deffinitely ovulated cos my,ahem, CM has gone all thick!
Thinking of you voxFlowers

mrsbarnettsbaby · 27/10/2016 11:02

I was like that last cycle. It was my first after coil removal though so I put it down to that.
I agree with flapper. Now you have a lovely new lining for your egg to implant.

Flappergirl86 · 27/10/2016 08:44

awww lulu -think of a massive heavy period as gaining a fresh and fertile spongy new uterine lining as a mint new pad for your impending foetus. I sometimes get rank looking globules as well, as well as it tapering off only to come back like the red sea x

Lulu298 · 27/10/2016 07:49

Good luck jammy and everyone.

Did you decide vox? Big hugs for today.

I'm having a really weird period. It was behaving normally till instead of continuing to get lighter it's turned heavy again and this morning the biggest (TMI alert!) globule of shiny red stuff came out Sad feel really tired and drained. Just want it to finish! Anyone have similar experiences?

JammyC · 26/10/2016 20:37

My cycle has seemingly gone to 5 weeks now so I'm very confused about my fertile window! I have 2 apps and both are suggesting fertile windows a week apart. I have a stash of opks so will start testing at the start of the first window according to the one app and see how I go!

Babybeesmama · 26/10/2016 20:13

Shift work is a nightmare for DTD at the right time! We've done it every day ( twice on sat) during my fertile 4 days according to FF... I've always had a near spot on 28 day cycle the times when I've been on no birth control.

Off to Center Parcs this weekend.. so that should make the wait go slightly quicker!

You ladies that test early... which tests do you use? Think I've used first response in previous pregnancies.. I know I shouldn't really test early Sad as it generally leads to me feeling miserable! I've gone really spotty today.. look like a teenager.. this makes me think AF is coming!

Good luck to everyone Smile

Dazedandconfusedtoomuchpeppa · 26/10/2016 19:30

Hi all!

I'm TTC #2
Cycle 2

DH works away a lot so missed last ovulation and will miss Nov & Dec. Think we missed the egg this time as we only managed to dtd once and only the day after getting positive OPK Sad . Testing about 7th of Nov.

Good luck everyone Flowers

REB74 · 26/10/2016 18:52

Age - nearly 42
Cycle - I stopped counting after 2nd mc
But nothing happening since April
Just waiting and hoping - feel rotten, everything is creaking so I have everything crossed. No positive ovulation test this month as yet but who knows!
Fingers crossed xx

MouseLove · 26/10/2016 18:29

Test vox if you think you need to. But be prepared either outcome. If you get a BFN at least you know and you can then test again when AF is due. Sending hugs. X

voxnihili · 26/10/2016 17:22

I have a dilemma.

I promised myself I wouldn't test until my period is due which is not until 5th Nov. However, according to Ovia I ovulated quite early and it is telling me to test tomorrow.

I would try to wait. But. Earlier this year I lost the man I looked up to as my father. Tomorrow is his birthday. A BFN won't make tomorrow any worse, it can't get any worse. But a BFP could be so meaningful. Do I test tomorrow or not? I'm sitting here crying just thinking about tomorrow.

Thanks Writer, I willWink.
