2ww: solidarity & symptom spotting

PassTheAfterEights · 07/02/2018 11:55

Anyone else in the 2ww?

1dpo cycle 1 post-mc, AF due 20/02 - last 2ww thread I was on got me through!

Trying to follow Kwick's rules for 2ww, no hot baths / cold veg etc, and not to react to every single twinge Hmm

@hidcat you poor thing that is so confusing. second what Twittle said - just hope this is your cycle. Are you still following up with docs re no sign of AF?

@TwittleBee that's interesting, know very little about luteal phase but makes sense i guess; well done for getting the cape on around your POPK though, should give you a good shot!!

OP posts:
TwittleBee · 13/03/2018 12:07

PassTheAfterEights Yup we have managed to DTD 3 times around the POPK! (as well as a few times before) so Fx! Hope you wearing yourselves out pays off!

AF is due 10 DPO though so starting to realise maybe having a shorted luteal phase might be the issue for us. Started B supplements this cycle though maybe it will lengthen it out for me.

HidCat I know it can take quite a bit of time for cycles to sort themselves out after MC usually as everything has to get back to normal. Hope this happens for you soon lovely. Or even better, you've caught the first ovulation post MC

HidCat · 13/03/2018 10:24

@PassTheAfterEights my cycles pre-MC were about 30 days and pretty regular, Ovia tells me I'm about CD 70 now (8 weeks since first bleed of MC so it has carried my cycles forward to calculate) but I was 11 weeks when I miscarried and the HCG has been slow to leave the system as I didn't have a proper bleed, just some spotting. Docs think I reabsorbed everything.

@winterwarmers ah lovely, yeah think that's a nice gap - would similarly like two close together but working on number one right now!!

Welcome @TwittleBee and congrats on your POPK, hope this is your month! are you DTD like mad? we have rather worn ourselves out this month!

@hidcat what TwittleBee said really - could be implantation, could also be a broken cervical blood vessel from being fertile and all the extra blood to the region - either way feels like a good sign. How were your cycles pre-mc and how far along were you, if you don't mind my asking? FWIW mine were regular as clockwork 29 days before mc and I ovulated / came on bang on time in the 'cycle' after mc, treating first day of bleeding as first day of AF. Luckier than many but don't be despondant x

OP posts:
TwittleBee · 13/03/2018 09:13

Could be a number of things beyond implantation and AF too e.g. might be ovulation or just a bit of bleeding after DTD

Sorry to hear of your loss though with the MC Flowers

HidCat · 12/03/2018 21:44

Question ladies - pink watery discharge after sex - possible symptom of implantation or AF? No idea where I am in my cycle as not had AF since MC.

TwittleBee · 12/03/2018 15:25

Hi there, hope you don't mind me jumping in?

7 months TTC #2. First time using OPKs this cycle and got a positive OPK last night so should be ovulating today (CD18). Cycles have been a regular 28/9 days so AF expected on 22/23 March (although would mean a pretty short luteal phase?) Managed to DTD last night so FX! Got hit with symptoms pretty hard and fast with #1.

Good luck to you ladies, hope to see some BFPs! x

winterwarmers · 12/03/2018 14:16

PassTheAfterEights · 12/03/2018 14:02

Oh! Oh that sounds so encouraging @winterwarmers - keeping my fingers crossed that they're good signs for you!! Had very racey heart on Sat but I made cookies (DH reward for FW performance) & think it was the sugar high :( is this TTC#1 for you? Glad you've got the cheapies. I know I'm my own worst enemy but if I can scratch the itch and stay sane for 15p a go I reeeally don't mind.

OP posts:
winterwarmers · 12/03/2018 13:55

@PassTheAfterEights normally it's if your temp / heart rate stays higher means you are potentially pregnant

i had really sore boobs today so i got some cheapie tests off amazon

PassTheAfterEights · 12/03/2018 13:35

That's nuts @winterwarmers MN twins! Hope your move goes well & they fix the mirror, that's dreadful - they have to sort that. very exciting though!! have never done the bbt / heart rate thing - what's the significance of the drop / increase? x

OP posts:
winterwarmers · 12/03/2018 09:27

i caved and brought some ICs even though i wasn't going to 😂 internet shopping is the worst sometimes

winterwarmers · 11/03/2018 17:16

@PassTheAfterEights how funny we are moving next friday / Saturday to our new flat just waiting for the developers to finish. Just did a walk around the estate though and our mirrored wardrobe has a massive crack on it 😩 hopefully they will fix before next friday

i have not brought any tests from amazon i have 1 ic left over from last month, 1 superdrug tests and another non sensitive one so not too tempted at the moment but my bbt drop yesterday and shot up today as did my heart rate went from 74 to 78 which is unusual for me

Ah hey @winterwarmers I'm bored and fed up, basically! We're waiting to hear on a mortgage application too but completing our sale in 12 days so there's a whooole bunch of limbo-y unknowns out there for us right now. We have major cabin fever! Will start packing in earnest tomorrow which I don't relish but should help distract :/ just want to wind the clock forward a week!

Any symptoms for you? Those I have could all just be progesterone - definite action in the uterus, crampy/bloaty/twingey, sensitive nips and boobs poss a little heavy. Did you buy any tests yet?

OP posts:
winterwarmers · 11/03/2018 14:45

how is everyone getting on :) i am 4dpo and feeling like i know it's not our month already

@PumpkinPatch000 did you test?

@PassTheAfterEights how are you feeling at 4dpo

Fififiesta · 10/03/2018 13:17

Pumpkin how did it go????

I'm calling myself out, though frustratingly AF hasn't totally arrived yet. I have...well..not even "spotting" just a bit of brown when I wipe. Cramping, fed up and very upset.

@pumpkinpatch000 don't feel stupid under any circumstances - you wouldn't be human if you didn't get excited. Thinking of you x

OP posts:
PumpkinPatch000 · 09/03/2018 21:12

@PassTheAfterEights & @winterwarmers in all honesty i'm dreading it. i'm scared and nervous! I'm scared for BFN, and if it is then what are all these symptoms i've been feeling... i'll feel so filled with disappointment and feel stupid.

PassTheAfterEights · 09/03/2018 21:05

Good luck tomorrow @PumpkinPatch000 will send BFP vibes x

OP posts:
winterwarmers · 09/03/2018 21:03

@PumpkinPatch000 fingers crossed for you tomorrow how are you feeling?

PumpkinPatch000 · 09/03/2018 20:48

Thank you @Mandybee

@winterwarmers I find that's the easiest way to be less tempted when it comes to pg tests. If they are just sitting there waiting to be used i'm more likely to test early.

that's good news @xLeanne128 fingers crossed for you

It's test day tomorrow and i'm freaking out! Blush

winterwarmers · 09/03/2018 13:31

i have managed not to order any yet but we shall see what happens next week also 2dpo is ridiculous (started testing at 4 dpo last monthBlush) i shall not test before friday next week
