April 2ww

Can't believe you said that @Smiley97 I've not slept properly since Saturday night. Which is typical as my 2 year old seems to have started to magically sleep like a dream all of a sudden. also I seem to have this ridiculous burst of energy which is most strange considering shitty sleeping patterns! Also I have a very tender tummy. Ping mad here! Good luck everyone xx

Thank you for clearing that up girls. So I guess that makes me 0DPO/POD today. Feel sick as a chip so wondering if it's worth DTD tonight or give it a rest. 🤢

Can I join?

Had an accident with contraception this month, which meant we started trying a month early. Due on tomorrow. Did two tests one BFN and the first of the two had one very thick line. Looked like two lines very close.

Symptom spotting like mad. Headache, sicky, and tired. Also pouting at pregnancy board.

Daffodils86 I hope you do for your own sanity haha

@TwittleBee im really trying to ignore it and pretend its not happening! Iv also vowed i wont test until a full 2weeks. Not sure if i will hold out though!

BabyHopeful2018 ah thank you, always handy to learn another acronym. FX and baby dust to you too!

hey there Daffodils86 yeah I am only 3dpo and already losing my mind with the wait

Jumping on...
Just entered the TWW at 2dpo i think. Still a loooong way to go.
Already impatient!

Hi @starwishing - POD/DPO is as @TwittleBee stated previously

@TwittleBee POD (passed ovulation date) think I got that from another 'chat' forum

Baby dust to everyone and FX for all x

I have everything crossed for you all! Let this month, be are month x

Anyone else suffering from insomnia in this tww?? The past few nights I’ve tossed and turned till about 3am and then fell asleep but woke up around 5/6am and just haven’t been able to get back to sleep!? I work in a school so we’re on half term at the moment but I’m dreading going back next week if my sleep doesn’t improve 👎

thanks @passtheaftereights. alas, very definite, not even a ghost of a line on a frer this morning. even if i miscalculated my period by a few dates, something should be showing up on one of those, so i think i either got dates wrong this month and i didn't ov when i thought i did, or AF is just being a bitch and taking her sweet time. meh.

helloworld88 sorry to hear about your BFN I know what you mean about xmas babies, I've told myself I don't really want a baby around Xmas but I know that I'm just saying that to myself to try and curb any disappointment

BabyHopeful2018 hey there! FX that this is the cycle for you!

What does POD stand for? is it same as DPO (days past Ovulation?) If so starwishing you can either use OPK (Ovulation Testing Kits) or more accurately chart your BBT (Body Basal Temp). Worth getting Fertility Friend or Flo from the app store (both free unless you want to upgrade). For some women, myself included, I get a very distinct ovulation pain. Another indicator for me that ovulation is on the way is that I have an acne break out approx. 3 days before ovulation

@BabyHopeful2018 how do you measure from POD? My friend does it and I've always wondered how? Is it based on averages or is there science behind it?

AF due today, bfn with fmu :( think I'm out this month. I didn't want a Christmas baby anyway...still as disappointed as any other month though

Hi All

Can I please join too. I’m 33 at end of month, TTC#1 and on cycle day 16 (approx 4/5 days pod).

I’m crazy symptom spotting already, told myself this month I wouldn’t and here I am again 🙈.

I've had that a couple of times and my GP said it's probably PCOS related for me (feel like they just lump everything under that though). My sister had super extreme Ov pain that she actually had a fit, turned out a cyst had burst.

I'm hoping mine is endometriosis related. It's never been this bad before though. Think my POD might be sensitive to all the hormones!

I have quite bad ov pain sometimes enough to make me groan out loud or go to gp etc that's what usually gets me poas then I get a few days of highs then a peak about cd 17... I have had scan on ovaries and blood test etc all clear they said it's just mittelsmerz .

Evening everyone, can I join you all in a 2ww starting today?! Thought we would try for number 3

Does anyone else have really extreme ovulation pain?! Like can't walk painful?

@winterwarmers good luck xxx

@flyingplum my period is due on Saturday. The past 2 have been exactly every 4 weeks on the Saturday. I'm not sure when I ovulated but I guess around Easter weekend.

Eeeeek xxxx

Jumping in here after unexpectedly having what I think was implantation bleeding from Sat-today (& v mild cramps on Sat only). Bleeding’s stopped now. We weren’t TTC but not not trying...I am trying to hold out until Wednesday to test. I have very regular 26-27 day cycles and heavy, painful periods normally- random, light, brown spotting & bleeding from CD 19-21... that’s never happened in my life. But as always, there is that seed of doubt so I have no idea how to feel right now!
