Anyone just starting the TWW..?

Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

I got my BFP last night but confirmed this morning, im 9DPO x

lucylondon32 · 16/02/2018 15:15

Thanks @gossipgirl28 yes it was a FRER, urgh I've just made myself feel rubbish! I knew it would be a BFN I just don't know why I do it xx
How you doing? X

gossipgirl28 · 16/02/2018 14:52

@lucylondon32

Try again in a couple of days. Did you use an early pregnancy test? It's so hard to resist when you want a positive so bad.

I've got it in my head I'm testing on wed morning when il be 13dpo.

lucylondon32 · 16/02/2018 14:43

Tested today at 8DPO and of course it's a BFN, which it would be at 8DPO! Why do I do it to myself? X

buntingandstarcharts · 16/02/2018 14:12

@winterwarmers you're not out yet! 🌸

winterwarmers · 16/02/2018 09:36

BFN 😢 my temps are still up and heart still up but expecting af tomorrow at 11dpo

xLeanne128 · 16/02/2018 09:25

@happythoughts7 I would do another frer with fmu tomorrow. I was pregnant and it didn't show until 14dpo just tested randomly and got my second line (sadly ended between 5/6 weeks) but I imagine after one more test you'll know for defo. I also am 4 months off the pill and my cycles are all over. Don't imagine my MC helped. Goodluck x

Morning ladies.

Sorry for the radio silence, just feeling confused with the lack of nothing happening!

This is my 4th month off the pill & based on my last two cycles being 29 and 30 days, I thought AF would be here on the 9th. So far, I’ve made it to CD37 and no sign of AF at all. I’ve used a FRER on Mon, and an IC Tues & today and all are BFN.

I only have a rough idea on when I ovulated, as just using Flo, which I now think was on Feb 1st, as I had spotting that day (which I originally hoped was IB)

Is is normal to have a random really long cycle sometimes? Just hoping for some reassurance as I’m feeling quite anxious as I’ve never had a cycle this long before; it’s like my body knows this is our first month TTC and is trying to trick me Sad. Xx

still sounds promising my temperature has stayed fairly high since ovulation and my heart rate has increased today too

gossipgirl28 · 15/02/2018 15:32

@winterwarmers my temp spiked on day of ovulation and then has been quite high but not as high as the day of ovulation

winterwarmers · 15/02/2018 15:01

@gossipgirl28 how's your temping chart? are your temps still high

gossipgirl28 · 15/02/2018 14:58

@lucylondon32 @buntingandstarcharts

I'm thinking quite positive as I tried to do everything to give me and OH the best chance. I bought fertility lube, used apps, temps and OPKs.
I got a positive opk on CD14 and CD15. DTD on CD 9,10,11,14,15,16,27 so fingers crossed! I've just got cheapy tests off the Internet but going to try and hold out until next thurs! Xoxo

lucylondon32 · 15/02/2018 14:06

@buntingandstarcharts @gossipgirl28 I've been in an awful mood the past few days, very tired but that could be normal for AF. Although I had bleeding when I wiped on Saturday then nothing since! Really trying to sit on my hands and not test yet as I'm sure it's too early to tell either way xx

buntingandstarcharts · 15/02/2018 12:42

@gossipgirl28 that sounds really promising! Eeak. I’ve had nothing at all, but it’s very early, I’m a day behind you. Are you feeling optimistic this month?

gossipgirl28 · 15/02/2018 12:36

@buntingandstarcharts @lucylondon32
I woke up this morning with some very light bleeding/spotting and I'm thinking at 7dpo it could maybe be implantation bleeding? Not had cramps like you get with AF.

AF not due for another week.ive just felt quite tired this week but that's about it. Xoxo

winterwarmers · 15/02/2018 12:33

chart still looking good and heart rate up but bfn on ic today i'm going to use my frer tomorrow

buntingandstarcharts · 15/02/2018 12:26

@gossipgirl28 @lucylondon32 any symptoms at all? X

LineEyes0801 · 14/02/2018 15:32

@DaisyMay25 I actually haven't seen him much as I was out Monday and he worked late yesterday which helped, but it was mainly also because I wanted to be certain as last month I told him straight away then not sure if it was an evap on a cheapie or a chemical but it didn't stick, and he was so disappointed. but also I proposed to him on V day last year so thought it would be an extra nice treat today! (though I don't know what I'll manage to pull out of the hat next year, set the bar too high!)

DaisyMay25 · 14/02/2018 15:26

@LineEyes0801 how haven't you told him? I'm terrible at secrets. It is Valentine's Day though so it could make it extra special!

LineEyes0801 · 14/02/2018 15:23

@DaisyMay25 Yes that's what I would go for - tiring but comprehensive!

I actually was just looking up what happens with GP/midwife and it's an online self referral. I think I'll wait until next week to check no nasty period surprise over the weekend. Oh, and when I've told my husband too! We were meant to be going for dinner tonight and he's just announced he has to work late - noooo! think I've convinced him to at least work at home this evening... I've waited 2 days and just want to tell him now!

Also for symptom spotters: I have really had nothing to report, apart from this ferocious bad mood at the weekend. boobs fine (despite constant poking). I have possibly been hungrier than normal but I always eat loads when it's cold so not even certain that's different either!

lucylondon32 · 14/02/2018 15:22

@buntingandstarcharts and @gossipgirl28 fingers crossed for us all! Keep me updated Smile xx

buntingandstarcharts · 14/02/2018 15:20

(sorry- next Thursday/ Friday) @DaisyMay25 good luck!

buntingandstarcharts · 14/02/2018 15:19

@lucylondon32 and @gossipgirl28 Thursday/Friday AF is due for me too! Smile

DaisyMay25 · 14/02/2018 15:16

Also because I can't use ovulation tests do we think is I DTD every other day from CD8 for two weeks I should be covered?

DaisyMay25 · 14/02/2018 15:12

Just got all my stuff for this clearblue trial, I'm in the control group so nothing survival for me, can't even use an ovulation tests. But I did get some snazzy pregnancy tests! They have a count down on them! (I hope they send me more to keep)

@LineEyes0801 that's so exciting! You been to see the doctor yet?/book in with a midwife?
