Hey, I'm just starting the tww and looking for some friends to join me for the wait. I'll probably test when af is due on the 16th. I've got to the point where I don't know what cycle I'm on - I think it's 8 though!

Yeah it's always a possibility ThreeAfter30. I reckon I'm 6dpo max today though. I hope my cycles aren't going to start messing me around!

ThreeAfter30 · 05/09/2017 19:58

I'm due af on the 16th and I am really determined not to test unless I'm late. I had some light spotting yesterday which was unusual for me. Only between 3 and 5dpo though so too early for ib I guess.

I'm trying to be good and hold out 😂 My boobs were sore after OV (like, actually sore not in my head!) but are fine now 🙄 I'm 6dpo but other than being tired (I'm always tired anyway lol) I haven't got any imaginary symptoms! I'll test Monday (if I've not cracked before lol)

EverythingNow · 05/09/2017 11:03

I'm not due til next Thursday but I reckon I'll have caved and tested by Saturday (9dpo) which is far too early!

hannahintheworks · 05/09/2017 10:19

That should say 17th, not 27th!

hannahintheworks · 05/09/2017 10:19

Hi ladies,

AF is due on the 27th for me. This is only the 2nd month of TTC #2 so we will see what happens. I felt a lot of pressure last month as we conceived in C1 with DS. This month I'm just enjoying trying Grin Nice to have a thread for the same time xx

ThreeAfter30 · 05/09/2017 10:10

Sorry chook missed you there! Fingers crossed!! 😘

ThreeAfter30 · 05/09/2017 10:09

Ps hi surrey, flying and hollsers 😊 good luck 😘

ThreeAfter30 · 05/09/2017 10:07

Hows everyone today? Just wondering whos gonna be first to test..my moneys on @stormcloud10 😂😂lol
Af due sunday or monday for me (judging on last months LP). I absolutely refuse to test early. I say this all the time and then ive no willpower but i mean it this time lol.gonna wait til tuesday to test so 1 more week to get through!

Hollsers92 · 04/09/2017 21:35

Hi all! Can I join too? This is our first time TTC and we're on cycle 3. I was on Cerazette for over a year and had no periods. My body took just over 5 weeks to restart AF. I've had quite obvious 'symptoms' the past 2 cycles but it's all died down this month so I'm hoping my body may be back to normal! Fingers crossed for us all in the TWW!

surreygirl1987 · 04/09/2017 21:09

I'm on cycle 1! I came off the pill a few months ago and don't know what my cycles are doing yet, but just started trying. We dtd almost every other day this month on honeymoon but af is due this week I think and I feel exactly like I do every other month pre period! I didn't expect to be so impatient but this tww is surprisingly torturous! Also I don't really have a clue when I ovulated so don't really know when to test! Am going for thursday as that's what my app says! Good luck everyone!

Flyingfruit · 04/09/2017 20:50

I'm on cycle 1. I'm so impatient 😂 this could be a really rather long journey!!

cavatron · 04/09/2017 18:26

Betsy and Three - thank you. I'll be sure to come here first for any further questions if I'm not lucky this cycle!

Chooklass · 04/09/2017 18:23

Hi Ladies, checking in for 2WW! Cycle 4 TTC#1 for me. Ov yesterday or today so testing about 17th (probably earlier!).

cavatron you can use OPKs or temp or some ladies get ov signs. I found tracking ov got me more stressed so I've given that up and we just DTD every other day.

Welcome Flyingfruit

Threeafter30 that's a good point actually. I did track for a while and it was always cd14 so I don't anymore. I often get sore bbs once I've ov'd but they started earlier this month so I actually could be 5dpo not 3dpo.

OP posts:
ThreeAfter30 · 04/09/2017 14:30

Cava im just using ovulation tests at the minute but temping is prob the only way to tell if youve defo ovulated

ThreeAfter30 · 04/09/2017 14:30

Betsy do you know when you ovulated? I dont temp i just use ov tests so counted the day after my +ve as ovulation day. I have such bad cramps today, had terrible pains in my lower stomach a few hours ago which felt like id pulled a muscle but now im getting quite sore cramping and a dragging pain in my lower back. AF due on sunday, its gonna be a long week lol.

I would love to get my bfp this cycle as its mine&dps anniversary on the in 2 weeks and that would be an awesome present to give him😊
This is #3 for me but #1 for my dp. How about all the rest of you lovely ladies?

cavatron · 04/09/2017 14:27

Please forgive me for the stupid question...how do you know when you ovulate?! I'm using the Flo app at the moment.

Flyingfruit · 04/09/2017 13:50

Hi, can I join you ladies? My AF is due 15th September. But I think I ovulated friday or Saturday so only 3 DPO.

Betsyboo87 · 04/09/2017 13:41

Threeafter30 I woke up feeling sick in the night and wondered. But I'm only about 3dpo so v unlikely to be a symptom!

Alicely we did the not trying/not preventing for quite a while too. No idea how so many ladies fall pregnant by accident!

OP posts:
ThreeAfter30 · 04/09/2017 07:57

Morning girls! 😊
6dpo for me today, slept really badly last night and woke up this morning feeling so queasy. Now, i know its way too early for any kind of symptom but seriously why does our minds associate every ache, twinge and moment of boakiness to whether we might be pregnant or not?! Plot is officially lost 😂😂

Stormcloud10 · 03/09/2017 20:53

Three I know, I know, and even though I know there's no point testing, I know I'll still test early 🙄 I'm beyond help 😂 Waiting for the imaginary symptoms to start now! Haha!
