Jumping on the crazy train for the first time... ALL ABOARD FOR THE 2WW!

Firstly I must apologise to all you mumsnetters... I've been a lurker for a while and have never understood the craziness surrounding the 2WW until today! Have literally just ovulated yesterday on our first round of TTC and I've already been symptom spotting/furiously checking and rechecking my calendar and Ovia app like a pro!

Logically I know that there is literally no chance of any symptoms yet and DEFINITELY no need to POAS for the next 10 days at least, but there's another (much louder it seems) part of me that keeps thinking that the reason I'm so bloated/gassy (seriously what is up with that?!) or keep dropping my keys/knocking everything over or these cramps are obviously due to the fact I must be pregnant 🤦🏻‍♀️.

So to stop me going completely around the bend, I thought I'd ask if anyone is due to POAS around the 21st of July? If so, do you want to wait with me? All those who have done this before, feel free to leave me tips on how not to think about this 24/7!

Hana327 · 05/12/2017 18:01

Aww bless you! It maybe a little early but I'm new to this! I'm expecting AF to happen but would just rather it turned up instead of prolonging things! Then agree with what you said move onto trying again next month!

sophherts · 05/12/2017 17:51

@Hana327 I gave in and obviously BFN! Definitely not feeling pregnant so just waiting for af to appear so we can get on with TTC next month!

Hana327 · 05/12/2017 17:28

This waiting is driving me mad! Trying not to give in and test as not even late! Keep looking out for any signs of AF and hoping it doesn't happen!

Hana327 · 01/12/2017 21:35

@sophurts let the countdown begin! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 To us both!

sophherts · 01/12/2017 19:40

@Hana327 me too, not allowing myself to test until next Friday morning

Hana327 · 01/12/2017 19:29

Oh cool! Trying very hard not to symptom spot! Did that last month and convinced myself I was and then got a negative! This month decided not to test until late! 🤞🏻

sophherts · 01/12/2017 19:25

@Hana327 I'm on the exact same dpo and af due date as you! Hate this tww...

Hana327 · 01/12/2017 18:58

Hi anyone on the 2ww for this month? I am and it's driving me crazy! Been reading your posts so would be nice to chat with some of you if you still trying! This was our 2nd month of trying (1st very serious) and if not successful will try ovulation tests next month! Af due the 6th Dec so getting closer!

Hellsbells35 · 28/11/2017 15:53

Finally got my BFP!!! Just took a few months longer than planned. Now I’m 🤢 though xx

LMX0 · 16/10/2017 03:04

Hopefully so @Hellsbells35 im still here waiting.......... 😂

Hellsbells35 · 26/09/2017 13:23

I am the same LMXO - lets hope our luck is in for October. About to start the 2WW once again!

LMX0 · 06/09/2017 22:11

Congrats molly!!! I really do hope all goes well for you!!!
Regarding my cyst thankfully antibiotics have cleared the infection and the cyst shrank down back down to a normal size!! Yay!! Im coming up to my OD so peeing on sticks & BD as much as possible a good few of you have gotten your BFP so hopefully there is plenty of BD going around 😊 i am trying not to get obsessed with TTC this month as i think got a little carried away last month 😳
Hope all you mummies to be are keeping well & taking things easier!!

IfeelFloopy · 06/09/2017 10:16

Congrats Molly! Wishing you all the very best Smile

Mollybear12 · 05/09/2017 08:10

Hey everyone, not been on here for a few weeks. Hope everyone is okay!
Just wanted to update I got a positive today! Af is due on Saturday I'm only about 12 dpo, I don't even know why I took it! But bfp! I'm so happy and relived!! But I'm going to be a bag of nervous now after losing my last at 20 weeks, but I'm hoping and praying everything will be okay!
Babydust everyone xxx 💋

Hellsbells35 · 25/08/2017 11:52

Welcome @surreygirl1987 I am waiting to start my second 2WW on this forum. I am hoping I haven't missed my OV as I was using sticks to predict, and was waiting to be nearer the zone before starting my regular testing. And first one was bright pink! BD that night, and had done a couple of days before too. So who knows?! Wish I had been at it more :)

surreygirl1987 · 21/08/2017 22:40

Can I jump on board? Complete newbie here! Don't understand the ttc lingo yet, have no idea about cycle (came off the pill recently) and just started ttc this month - am guesstimating will be ovulating in a few days so new hubby and I are bd every other day (think that's right??) as we're on honeymoon at the mo! Fingers crossed (or should that be baby dust?) for all!

IfeelFloopy · 21/08/2017 08:09

As of today I am 4 weeks and 3 days. I got my pretty clear bfps at 11dpo and I'm hoping that's a good sign. My mum and my sister didn't experience morning sickness with their pregnancies and I'm really hoping it's a family trait haha...

How are you doing? Do you know what the next course of action is regarding your cyst?

LMX0 · 21/08/2017 00:04

Id say enjoy being symptom free while you can 😂 how many weeks roughly are you? And is this your first baby?

IfeelFloopy · 20/08/2017 23:23

Haha not yet. My boobs were hurting a bit but have stopped and I don't feel nauseous but have no appetite. So I feel no different. Which I am happy about but at the same time trying not to get too excited because it's early days.

LMX0 · 20/08/2017 22:36

Thank you 😊

How have you been feeling floppy? Has it sank in yet?

IfeelFloopy · 20/08/2017 21:20

My goodness LM, sorry to hear that. Hope you get it sorted soon.

LMX0 · 20/08/2017 15:08

Hopefully that is not needed but have n see what they want to do

HolyShmoly · 20/08/2017 14:47

Ah shite LMXO. Do they need to remove it or what happens next?

Welcome Rachel. Sorry to hear about your mc, hopefully this is a good month for us both!
