TWW begins today, anyone want to join me?

I think my 2WW begins today. We haven't been properly tracking ovulation, came off the pill 4 months ago and cycles have settled into 33 days so I'm basing dates and ovulation on that. If I'm right ovulation would be today.

I'm not sure we have DTD enough but hoping so, we DTD Wednesday, Thursday and today so fingers crossed.

Anyone else in a similar boat?

I'm 31 and TTC number 1.

Ahh no way mayo that sucks!

Try not to get disheartened scottish my friend just got pg after 11 months of trying. I got pg with ds1 after 1 month. Got accidentally pg before xmas but missed miscarriage in Feb at 12 week scan. Missed feb/march decided to give another go and now onto cycle 3 but I do have every feeling it's not going to be as easy this time for some reason. But we're in no particular rush as DS is quite poorly at the moment but it'll still be nice to have a sibling. He turned 2 recently.

I'm trying to say it will happen for you. Spoke to dp about fertile period and we may only actually miss one possibly 2 days so not as bad as I feared but depends on when ov actually happens!

So sorry to hear that trisk but glad your out of limbo either way!

This has been a bit of ah unlucky thread. Which means at least some of us should get a BFP or two next cycle surely?? 😊X x

Triskaidekaphilia · 03/06/2017 16:47

AF finally started for me today, nearly a week late! Although it's a shame it's also a relief not to be in limbo still. I think I may have quite a long cycle because last month was 5.5 weeks and this month 5. I'm going to start OPKs this month to get a better insight. Roll on June... :)

scottishllama · 03/06/2017 10:30

Sunshine she was due yesterday so I was a bit quick to test, but shops are shut here tomorrow and Monday, so that's how I justified it!

Although I'm youngish and healthy and we've not been trying long (maybe 3 months) I'm feeling really down in the dumps and like it will never happen. I suppose coz people I know with babies never usually say how long they were trying for, I have quite unrealistic expectations! The PMS hormones aren't helping either.

Sorry to hear you don't think you'll manage it this coming cycle! So frustrating.

mayoli · 03/06/2017 10:26

@Sunshine I was going to test again tomorrow but AF just arrived. That's me out! Good luck everyone else x

Sunshinesaz86 · 03/06/2017 09:09

Fingers crossed for you mayo. When will you test?

Sorry you got your BFN scottish are you officially late? Or is AF due anytime?

I'm defo out AF arrived two days ago onto next cycle however not holding much hope as dp is on a stag do on ov day and two days before 😩🙈x x

scottishllama · 03/06/2017 05:00

Tested just now, no luck. Still no sign of AF but I guess she's on her way. Meh.

mayoli · 02/06/2017 19:18

No AF symptoms.... still not tested again!

Sunshinesaz86 · 01/06/2017 21:57

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you mayo

Sorry to hear that chips I thought things were looking good.

Fingers crossed anyone else waiting to test.

I'm pretty sure AF will be here by tomorrow. AF cramps and a teeny bit of spotting so looking like she's on her way. Off to June we go! X x

Chipsahoy · 01/06/2017 12:53

I'm out. Af arrived.

Good luck everyone who is left

mayoli · 01/06/2017 09:44

Just see what happens @sunshine :)

I'm due tomorrow-Saturday. So we'll see what happens but there is definetely no line atm and it is a first response test :/

Sunshinesaz86 · 01/06/2017 09:42

mayo It could be an evap or an indent tho it's that faint. 😂🙈

When is your AF due? I hope it doesn't arrive for you x x

mayoli · 01/06/2017 09:35

A line is a line @sunshine!

Had a nice wee lie in as I'm on the nightshift this evening, first pee of the day, 13DPO, definetely no hint of a second line :( Think that's me out! I have one left which I'll use if I get to 16DPO and no period

Sunshinesaz86 · 01/06/2017 09:27

You'll all laugh at me for being pathetically hopeful hahaa 😂😂

Chipsahoy · 01/06/2017 09:22

A line is a line! And with my last two pregnancies my first symptom was strong period cramps which lasted for a week or so.
Pic of the test?

Sunshinesaz86 · 01/06/2017 09:20

ovaries I've got the Ovia app which I like but used opks this month which give me an idea when i ovulated (later than I thought) so that was helpful.

chips I would be testing today but I can't help myself 😂. Sounds really positive, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I've heard good things about glow to scottish and if I were you I'd be testing too!! Good luck if you do

In a bit confused thought I could see a squinter of a line on frer this morning but now I'm getting AF type cramps. So probably my imagination. Think I'll definitely be on June bus think I'll just squeeze on before the July one! X x

scottishllama · 01/06/2017 08:46

Also to all of you with sore boobs, I feel your pain! I have started to get them every cycle and it's horrible! DH keeps forgetting and goes to touch them now and then only to be rewarded with me yelling in pain and batting his hand away.

scottishllama · 01/06/2017 08:42

Ovaries I highly recommend the Glow app. I've found this month since I've started using it I've been a lot more relaxed and putting down the symptoms each month will help me to notice what is actually normal and what isn't. Plus my DH loves that I'll now be able to give him some warning about when I'm likely to be a moody cow each month.

For the first time since TTC this month I've been totally relaxed about the whole thing, until yesterday when I got a sudden sharp pain in my side. I'm due AF tomorrow and am now 12DPO and dying to take a test. Before this I'd usually be symptom spotting since ovulation so I think a two day wait isn't too bad for a change.

So tempted to do a test today though now as I'm mega impatient. I've never in my life had cramping before af so the sharp pain was a total shock. At the same time though my bed is very uncomfortable (need a new mattress) so it could just be coz of that. Hmm...

Chipsahoy · 01/06/2017 08:20

Do you have a period app ovaries? You could put in the first day of your last period and cycle length and it would tell you when you ovulated.
You can also use online calculators to tell you when to test, again they need first day of last period and cycle length.

I'm now one day late. No sign of period. Had sex last night, sorry tmi..no blood which I normally have when I'm due on.
Boobs hurt. Couldn't eat dinner last night at all. Feel nauseous this morning.

When do I test again? It was BFN yesterday with first morning pee. Maybe tomorrow?

Are we on the June train now?

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 31/05/2017 22:10

I wish I knew when I ovulated! DD was a total unplanned surprise so I have no idea what to expect from TTC. My boobs are very sore and tonight I noticed a big blue vein has appeared which is apparently another early pregnancy symptom? I think I'm just going to keep testing until AF shows up now, thankfully I stocked up on internet cheapies Grin

Sunshinesaz86 · 31/05/2017 19:31

Well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you chips sore boobs is definitely a good symptom. Ppl also go off tea and coffee I did! Good luck keep us posted.

I've never had this CM with previous pregnancies (1 DS & 1MMC in Feb) so definitely new for me. But no other symptoms plus the BFN yesterday. I'm going to test in the morning with FMU and if that's negative I'll assume my cycles gone mad and wait for AF to show her ugly face! 😂

Chipsahoy · 31/05/2017 18:38

Thanks sunshine, now have rock hard painful boobs too. Also can't face a cup of tea. I'm symptom spotting and really need to stop. Confused I had a BFN this morning, I need to give it up!

You are still in I'm sure, that's still really early. Perhaps the pinky watery stuff is implantation.

Sunshinesaz86 · 31/05/2017 15:44

Fx chips it's a good sign no AF has shown yet. White CM is definitely a symptom.

I've had more watery pink cm here, I've googled and apart from a lot of scary other things it could be pregnancy but after a BFN yesterday it's doubtful however I'm only 11dpo (as far as I'm aware)!

I have no other symptoms at all so not hopeful x

Chipsahoy · 31/05/2017 14:08

Oh no more BFNs.
So I took an asda cheapy and it was BFN. As it's period due date I assumed I was out and so put in mooncup and went to work

Home from work now and just emptied cup..tmi here sorry, and I expected period blood or at teeny bit of brown discharge as normal. However it was absolutely full of um, white discharge.
So sorry for the tmi.

I've no idea if thata a sign or if I'm clutching at straws
I guess only time will tell. I took antibiotics this month which sometimes delays my period. So it could be that.

Ho hum.

confusion, there's still a chance for you 10dpo is still pretty early. You may have even ovulated late. You too Mayoli.

Good luck for your BFP

ConfusionIsNothingNew · 31/05/2017 13:15

BFN this morning on sensitive internet cheapie at 10dpo.

Think I'm probably out!

mayoli · 31/05/2017 12:36

Sorry BFN. not a BFP!
