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

339 replies

WaitingTillJuly17 · 09/07/2017 20:09

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!

Its really hard and not easy!! OPKs are worth giving a go just so you know where your at im hormonal this afternoon so i think AF is on her way i just wish she would hurry up n get it over with!!

Mollybear12 · 12/08/2017 14:48

I tested again! Lol no I shud if waited, still neg but no af, I think I'm about 11/12 day, tho didn't use opks so not sure cud still be a few days out I'm hoping , goodluck everyone else, this unknown is hard x

LMX0 · 12/08/2017 12:47

If it would give u peace of mind then test then you could enough your weekend without wondering 😊

usernotfound0000 · 12/08/2017 11:37

AF due on 21st but we're away next weekend child free so I'm going to be tempted to test on Friday so I know if I can drink or not. Cycles are still a bit unpredictable and can be between 30-34 days.

LMX0 · 12/08/2017 11:24

Hello user when are you due to test? The 2ww is so hard!!

usernotfound0000 · 12/08/2017 10:45

Hello ladies, please can I join?

We're currently TTC #2. I came off the pill in September, it took 3 months for my period to return and then a few more months for my cycles to settle down so we've probably been actively trying for 3 cycles. I've ramped it up this cycle and have been using the clear blue ov tests, I didn't get a peak detected but did get high fertility. Currently CD22 and driving myself mad symptom spotting!

Polly85 · 11/08/2017 23:06

Hi @ladybirdno1, I am due on 19th August too Smile currently feels like months away...

LMX0 · 11/08/2017 21:46

Hi mollybear hopefully you get a positive soon!! I would leave it tho for a couple of days between tests

Mollybear12 · 11/08/2017 21:20

Hey everyon, hope your all doing okay, I'm about 10 days since ovulating, I took a test today it was neg, af due 2moro but last month it was a week late so not really to sure, I'm going to take another test in the morning, but I've had low back pain all evening, so not to hopeful now! 😐 Xx

LMX0 · 11/08/2017 20:50

Hi ladies just a quick update from my end AF is now one week late and still BFN!! 😞 hope all you lovely ladies are well 😊

ladybirdno1 · 08/08/2017 17:26

I have been using the period diary app and find that the easiest to use prob as I'm getting used to all the lingo. I had been keeping a log of my period dates on the app but recently switched to a new phone and it lost all my data Confused

IfeelFloopy · 08/08/2017 17:09

Hi Lady. It seems we are on the same timeline!

Back on the 2ww for the second time on this thread. I am now 5dpo and this was my first month using clear blue ovulation test strips. I got a smiley face on the third day of testing (cd13) which is 2 days earlier than my app predicted. I really like the clarity of the test and I'm hoping it has made the difference for me this month 😬🤞🏻

ladybirdno1 · 08/08/2017 14:20

Hello, thought I'd pop on Smile
I'm due my period on 19th August. My period was 2 weeks late last month- I think due to stress as got married! So am unsure how accurate ovulation stuff will be.
Stats:
Cycle 1 TTC #1
Age 35
Ovulation prediction date was 3rd August.
I'm unsure at the moment whether to wait until 19th to test or do a bit earlier :-)

LMX0 · 08/08/2017 10:40

Hellbells well at least you know now!! And you can start again!! I got a BFN yesterday but still no AF so im waiting until Friday ive had sore back & cramps all month but i deffo think your mind plays on ya

Hellsbells35 · 08/08/2017 08:51

Well I got a negative blood test from doctor and then AF turned up a few days later. I was 2 weeks late! When AF arrived I was relieved as by that time I just wanted to start new cycle. Better luck next time! Amy news @LMX0?

LMX0 · 07/08/2017 15:47
