I'm in the 2ww again, and hoping this might be the one. I ordered some preseed, but it didn't arrive until right at the end of my fertile window, so only used it a couple of times but hoping it'll help!

Anyone care to join me with the madness, impatience and symptom spotting?

AF due in 4 days (28th Nov) im pretty regular and rarely come on late so hopefully if its going to come it'll be soon...not ttc but wouldn't be annoyed/bothered if i was pg if you know what I mean

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to all this but learning the lingo and abbreviations!!! I'm currently around 13dpo but have irregular cycles and apparently not due on for another week or so? I did a test 10dpo and got the faintest blue line when I went to throw it a few hours afterwards, so of course took about 3 more but absolutely nothing there....

I have AF type pains but more scratchy if that's even a thing and not a heavy feeling but I'm just waiting patiently now wondering when I'm actually due on /due another test. I've already done one first response so loathed to waste another!! The faint test I've attached but yeah... nothing on any others since which is disappointing!

I conceived in June but MC very early on. Probably why I'm taking so many early tests now!! This is our first month of properly trying again...

Any advice or insight much appreciated!!!

Sorry to hear that HeresMeh! Hope any aches and pains are the good kind. I’m trying not to get my hopes up this month, so am telling myself that the nausea I’m currently feeling is due to dizziness from my ear. I’m sure it’s way too early for morning sickness anyway.

@BLM18 my oh seems keen to just dtd as often as he can but even I know that if done too much, he will want a break. But I guess if you just keep focused the tww can be your break x

BLM18 · 22/11/2017 07:48

@Gem173 sounds good! Not sure my oh will be that keen though!

Gem173 · 22/11/2017 07:37

@BLM18
So basically on cd 8 you start having sex every other day, then from cd 10 you do opks every day until you get a positive. Once you got your positive you dtd for 3 day in a row, break a day and then have sex again the day after. This way you cover nearly all month. Seen some people get preggers quite quickly so worth a try xx

@Gem173 sorry to hear that! But good news about cycle! What is sperm meets egg??xx

Gem173 · 22/11/2017 06:56

@BLM18 unfortunately af caught me on day 28, so although it’s a shame, it’s nice to know that my cycles are reducing (ie. 31,28). Hoping it stays to 28 now. Gunna try the sperm meets egg plan now that I’m going into my 2nd cycle proper trying (3rd off pill). Hope your bloods go okay, let me know how it goes :) x

Kkk87 · 21/11/2017 22:31

I’ve had some bloods done today to check progesterone levels. Fingers crossed now! Currently 6DPO

BLM18 · 21/11/2017 21:56

@Gem173 how you doing? Update from me is I’m having blood tests to check levels !

HeresMeh · 21/11/2017 21:31

Dingdongdigeridoo - I am** exactly the same!

I got a chest infection on ovulation day and have been struggling with every conceivable ache and pain for a week now!

It’s a good piece of advice to stop symptom spotting - get horrendously Ill! Grin

dingdongdigeridoo · 21/11/2017 21:23

8dpo and I’ve found a genius way to avoid symptom spotting. Get horrendously ill with an ear infection, and every ache, pain, dizziness etc can be attributed to that rather than pregnancy!

I have cramps and lower back pain right now. But it’s most likely because I feel like shite.

CoconutGal · 21/11/2017 21:19

@karategirl - I have become more aware of my body since TTC. What’s normal for me & what isn’t normal for me. It’s kind of nice in a way to really know yourself, but in another way, it drives me crazy!

karategirl · 21/11/2017 20:26

@Merrz It was month 4 of trying properly for us. Month 7 since I had my implant removed. Tbh it was a real relief - it's our first I've had this absolutely irrational fear that I was infertile. This was based on absolutely nothing other than the fact that, where I grew up, most people have kids in their teens and early 20s, so by the age of 28 obviously nothing was going to happen.

Fingers crossed it happens for you soon!

@BLM18 How are you getting on now?

@Coconutgal I don't know about you, but I've become hyper aware of every tiny change in my body, that I probably would never normally notice. I'm currently in a stage of worrying when anything at all changes, just in case it means something isn't going quite right. How on earth do people stay sane?!

Feeling rough today. Back aches, high temp, nausea & headache. DH thinks AF is on her way. She’s not due for another 9 days but it would be typical of her to arrive early 😒. The only difference I have noticed this cycle is that my cm has changed. Normally by this point I would have white cm but it still feels just wet all the time with some dry days. (Sorry TMI). Strange how our bodies change so much when TTC.

LittleBirdBlues · 20/11/2017 19:26

@merrz thank you! I'm really excited. This was maybe month two for us but we were more seeing what happens tan actively pursuing it if you know what I mean. It's our third baby so we knew it would happen eventually. Turned out it happened really quickly! Smile

How are you geting on merrz?

Merrz · 20/11/2017 16:42

@Littlebirdblues and @Karatekid what month of ttc have you guys got your bfp?
So chuffed for you both

Gem173 · 19/11/2017 19:13

@BLM18 I’m sure you will be fine :) don’t stress

BLM18 · 19/11/2017 18:56

@gem173 bleeding though!! Feel scared as never had that before

Gem173 · 19/11/2017 18:42

@BLM18 could be a sign!!!! Fx!!

BLM18 · 19/11/2017 18:40

@gem173 what the heck!! Just been in bath and my boobs have started to leak white drops!!! Never had this !!! Still bleeding so don’t know what is going on!!!

Gem173 · 19/11/2017 18:24

@BLM18 damn so annoying was hoping you’d gotten pos this month! I deffo believe af will arrive early this week

BLM18 · 19/11/2017 18:20

@Gem173 there is some red! Prob be full force tmr !!

Gem173 · 19/11/2017 18:14

@BLM18 maybe it’s a very late implantation if it’s mostly brown?

BLM18 · 19/11/2017 18:08

@Gem173 keep positive ! I have the most veiny boobs today like I’ve never seen before. Period so far been mostly brown with bit of red but cramps are like normal and I’ve needed to
Take pain killers all day !
