Anyone on 2WW...starting mid-March

Anyone else about to start their 2WW?

TTC#1
Cycle 3
Ovulation date either 10/03 or 11/03, or maybe today (FF isn't sure yet...)
AF due 25/03

I used OPKs and did temping for the first time this month, I got a +OPK saturday morning and the following morning my temp had spiked. That seems a very quick turnaround to me...I thought it was usually around 2-3 days between the + and the temp going up?

All this stuff is so confusing! Remember those teen years when they told us how easy it was to get pregnant to scare us? They were full of shite Grin

Was thinking of this as a trial month, so went with the cheapest opks this time. But they have been of no help. So might have to move to the smilies from next month.

"I can’t believe I spend so much money on stuff to piss on" - The only reason why I haven't bought any preg tests yet, coz even though I know they won't work yet, if I have them in the house, I'll be peeing on them day and night. Must remain firm, must not buy any tests till AF is late. Repeat on loop.

Welcome Jallebi!

I’ve heard that the cheapie OPKs can be a bit hit and miss and hard to read, I went for the clear blue smilies even though they are really expensive Hmm but there’s no mistaking the smily face!

I hope I conceive soon...all this OPKs, preg tests and pre-seed is working out bloody expensive! I can’t believe I spend so much money on stuff to piss on Grin

Cycle 1
AF due 24/03 (on a 39 day cycle)

Based on previous two cycles, should be just at the end of FW now. Been peeing on the cheapie opks from Amazon for 10 days or so, but no positive yet. But I feel like I have ovulated Confused

Went off the pill in end November, before the pill cycle used to be 28-30 days, after pill have had two 39 day cycles. Feel some symptoms, but not sure whether I'm preggers or if the cycle is shortening and AF is signalling her arrival.

Good luck to all and Fx

It is - the only reason I chose it was that it didn't depend on temping and charting and OPK's, it reckons its good enough at tracking dates and symptoms to be accurate. Turns out I have pretty regular 29 day cycles (didn't know coming off the pill after 13 years) so suspect that's why it's worked quite well for me - I think the more sophisticated apps work better for people with unpredictable cycles. The community chat is triple cringe too. But I like the interface, it's easy - in the early ttc days I was a bit overwhelmed with the sight of a chart!!

Taking a leaf out of your book on the symptom spotting today & giving it a rest, the joy of mortgage applications to take your mind off things...!!

@passtheaftereights what is Glow? Is it an app?

That’s the thing isn’t it, early PG symptoms are identical to pre-AF symptoms! Last month i was symptom spotting like mad, this month I will try to hold back and try not to drive myself bonkers!

TTC #1
Cycle 3 (chemical in Jan)
5/6 DPO - ovulation 5th/6th March
AF due 21st March

Can't help re OPK & temping unfortunately as have never used, all my eggs are in Glow's basket right now, so to speak. Dead accurate so far, even around the chemical.

Symptoms - boobs heavy and nips sore (ish - not stingy but sensitive), heavy, crampy, twingey uterus, backache & a bit tired. Don't have the flash headaches, clumsiness or vivid dreams I had with January bfp. Basically could be preggo, could just be normal progesterone ahead of AF.

Stockpile of internet cheapies ready to go and won't order any FRER's til the back end of the week to avoid a repeat performance of February's peed on expenditure

Good luck to you & to all
