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

Hey all. I think I'm only 5dpo but is it okay to join in? I hate the wait between ovulating and either AF coming or testing. I've only been focusing on it like this for the last couple of months. I feel like me and my fiancé really tried this month and timing wise for ovulation did everything "right". So I know I'll start to worry more about my short luteal phase if no luck this month!

Thinking of you all and wishing for BFPs!!

@Pob13 doctors can be so harsh, I have a good bmi and they even tell me to exercise more! I think they're trying to get everyone on a health kick!
I'm going crazy, last night my nausea was really bad, I nearly threw up and it's been bad at work all morning. Breasts are heavier today for sure and back is starting to hurt. I think our brains like to trick us!!

MrzE · 30/01/2018 10:41

@pob13 that's terrible person of him. Docs say that kind of thing. I understand their point but they just always want you to lose weight. Every time I go my GP tells me the same. If you are losing weight, just ignore him. You aren't a bad mum at all!!

Pob13 · 30/01/2018 10:14

Just been to the docs for something unrelated. I mentioned I was TTC (didnt say i could actually be pregnant now). Doc said "obviously you need to lose a lot of weight first". Now i know Im overweight + I know the extra risks but now I feel like I shouldnt be TTC. Im trying to lose weight but now i feel like a bad mum before i even an one. Just feel a bit crap.

Pob13 · 29/01/2018 21:33

Thought i had some tests in the cupboard, but nope. At least that stops me from testing early! Will try to resist buying one until the weekend.

Karigan1 · 29/01/2018 21:06

I’m not exactly sure when 10dpo would be. I was trying to work it out earlier but there are too many variables. Got an ovulation peak on the cb opk on Friday but ovulation could be up to 48hrs after then. So probably......6.2.18? Thinking it might be easier to just wait and see lol

DaisyMay25 · 29/01/2018 20:30

@HappyThoughts7 I'll be 10dpo on Sunday too and will be testing, I have zero self control though haha

HappyThoughts7 · 29/01/2018 20:20

Ahhh I’m pleased we’re all in the same boat! I think I’m 4DPO and had a teeny bit of sticky white CM today (sorry TMI) cue 15 mins googling its significance 🙈! Determined not to test and wait to see if AF appears, but Sunday would be 10DPO so who knows....! Xx

I'm glad you're all crazy symptom spotters like me, I just had some mild cramping and convinced myself it's implantation pain haha, highly unlikely!

Penny31 · 29/01/2018 20:06

About 3dpo here I think. Hugely bloated and have nausea but I think I get like that after ovulation. That’s sensible me talking.

Not so sensible me thinks they are symptoms similar to when I was pg with Dd.

I’m not making this easy for myself!

Tyrionsbitch · 29/01/2018 19:48

Hi ladies can I join? Af due 3rd feb. Been having really sore boobs today and feeling bloated but bfn today. Must resist testing again now! Ttc #1

DaisyMay25 · 29/01/2018 19:41

@Pob13 I know how you feel, I'm 4dpo and waiting to test is driving me crazy!
I've had nausea and lightheaded ness for about 3 weeks now and my Af never really came, just a little spotting so I don't even know if I'll spot any symptoms!

Fx for everyone this month!

MrzE · 29/01/2018 11:27

Mind if I join too ladies? Think I'm about 6dpo. I have irregular periods since having the implant out, so I can't be 100% sure on anything really. It looks like I have a high bbt as standard anyway.

This is ttc #1 c3. I symptom spot like crazy, it's so annoying, but usually they just end in a period. Trying to calm myself down this month but we dtd most nights.

Pob13 · 29/01/2018 10:09

5dpo and have wanted to test since day 1. I have no patience!
Had a miscarriage in August and got symptons of pregnancy really early with that one, so im on red alert for sore boobs and nausea.

Karigan1 · 29/01/2018 08:40

In 2ww here too. Got my peak on the stick last Friday so ovulated sometime between Friday and Sunday I guess. Now it’s jist waiting to see if it worked. First proper cycle here so not hopeful but we dtd bang on time so you never know.

Dragonandthewolf · 29/01/2018 08:37

Ah sorry mimi 😪
Has your gp referred you or suggested ivf to you? Sorry to ask personal questions!
Yes I have a DD now.

Mimilicious013 · 29/01/2018 04:34

5dpo Star
morning ladies, hope you start your week with lots of energy.
@dragon, it really could have been me. l started my ttc journey in 2015Sad and was on a number of buses. hope you were luckier and have a lo now . sweet cravings, hmm that's promising fx.

nothing to report my end. jus can't wait for time to fly by

Dragonandthewolf · 28/01/2018 22:06

Oh sorry milly :(

Dragonandthewolf · 28/01/2018 22:05

mimi your username sounds familiar, were you on ttc #1 threads during late 2015? I’ve changed my username several times on here! Although I’ve been around on and off for years.

I’m glad I’m not the only one desperate to poas! I’ve had major sweet cravings today, which is what I had when I conceived my first. Coincidence?! Ok yeah probably is 😂

Mimilicious013 · 28/01/2018 18:26

thanks @milly, sorry you are going through this. best wishes to you too.

l have no tips for you too @happy, I have been at it forever but I still am impatient and no way of escaping it taking over my life. just make sure to continue doing the things you love doing.

that must have been a good distraction for you @daisy, and hope you enjoyed the roast with fam. oh my ,you are a testaholic dear haha.

l spent my day in pjs, watching tv and eating with the kids. not bad for a Sunday lol. dh will be back tomorrow

Millypad · 28/01/2018 17:55

Alas looks like I’m going to have to bow out of this thread, seems ovulation didn’t work again! Best of luck lovely ladies, got my fingers crossed for all of you xx

DaisyMay25 · 28/01/2018 17:46

@Mimilicious013 just finished having the family over for a roast! How's yours been?

I got two double packs of FRER from Asda yesterday... I have so many tests I'm so bad!

@HappyThoughts7 I'm the same, literally just count down that days until I can test, gonna test on Sunday when I'll be 10dpo.
No tips here, I'm no use at relaxing and patience! Haha

HappyThoughts7 · 28/01/2018 17:28

Hi guys,

Urgh, I’m driving myself mad! I literally can’t think of anything else, and this is only the first month! Does it play on anyone else’s mind continuously? I’m annoying myself as I can’t carry on like this, especially is TTC takes us a while. Any tips about how to not let it completely take over your life?! X

I am not testing until af is late. I have decided not to store any tests in the house so hopefully won't be tempted to buy any. soo tired of seeing bfns hun
