Hi ladies! Today is 1dpo (I think?) so just heading into the tww. I'm trying for my 2nd and on C2. Anyone want to keep me company? Xx

@8DaysAWeek Grin

8DaysAWeek · 20/05/2018 21:23

Well if @starsandstuff and @FoxyRoxy are testing on Friday I don't want to buck the trend!!!

No... must stay strong...

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 20/05/2018 21:17

I've been feeling strangely energetic...well I say energetic-enjoyed keeping on top of housework (washing/drying/ putting away clothes all in one day 😱 literally unheard of!)
I'm completely undecided as to when I'll test...maybe try to wait until AF is late (next Tuesday?) or if I have mega restraint-when I get back from holiday (next Saturday)

haha who am I kidding???! 😂

starsandstuff · 20/05/2018 21:10

I've got a work thing on Friday and will be 9dpo so I think I'll test in case I need to not drink, maybe I'll get a frer for then...?
@FoxyRoxy I'm exactly the same! Was in boots today so got a couple of FRERs - good grief I didn't realise how expensive they were Hmm Think stinginess/skintness will curtail my overuse of them rather than my sense!! I'm going to test on Friday and ifbits BFN I'll hold the other one til AF is actually late...probably Grin Good luck to you x

Our bodies are crazy. I've been shattered this weekend (actually fell asleep yesterday afternoon which never happens) and right now I feel exhausted! I even felt sick earlier and I never do but, I'd just played an hours game of netball!! Funny how you'd think nothing of it if you weren't in 2ww. I'm seriously only 4dpo ( I think?) so I probably haven't even gone through implantation yet! Think I might test a week today? X

@FoxyRoxy that's a good idea about ICs. Might see if I can get some on prime to satisfy the need to POAS. Wasted a lot of £££ last month on FRERs 🙄

@8daysaweek I also had the same thoughts about Amazon but was good, I've got some ic's that I can use and prime so if I get a line on an ic I'll order some. Last month I ordered some and had them in the drawer so of course used them both 🙄 I'm trying to avoid doing that again!

8DaysAWeek · 20/05/2018 17:15

I had some fleeting thoughts about ordering some FRERs from amazon then decided against it! Reeeeally trying to hold out until Sunday when I'll be 12dpo as at that point if it's a bfn I'll accept it's not my month.

Been messaging loads of friends trying to fill up the week with things to do! Fortunately working a lot of it.

mostimproved · 20/05/2018 17:13

I’ve managed to keep myself distracted today as I’m doing a craft market, but back to my normal work tomorrow which means way too much symptom-googling, and avoiding the temptation to buy pregnancy tests when I go past boots!

8DaysAWeek · 20/05/2018 17:11

@FoxyRoxy how crazy are our bodies. You just can't use previous conception times to predict the next ones!

8DaysAWeek · 20/05/2018 17:08

Omg @TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong my thoughts exactly! Time is literally standing still.

I'm knackered today. No energy at all but then again we were on holiday last week and it's probably just the come down since returning on Friday. DH is the same and I don't think he's pregnant 😂

FoxyRoxy · 20/05/2018 17:02

4dpo here, temping and doing opks as I'm not sure if I'm oving or not since coming off the pill earlier this year. Had LH surge and my app has put me as ov on Thursday because I had a temp drop today (was Wednesday before that so I'm sticking with Wednesday) I'm just hoping my temps stay elevated enough that I can confidently say I've ov this month, a bfp would be a bonus! No symptoms at all so far but previously I've had implantation pain at 7dpo with dc2 and implantation spotting at 8dpo with dc3 and no symptoms before either of those so I'm not expecting anything.

TTC #4, dc2 (5) took 3 years of trying (did bbt for about 2 years) dc3 was a surprise when dc2 was 4m old.

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 20/05/2018 16:52

Am I really only 5dpo?!??? 🤦🏻‍♀️

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 20/05/2018 14:52

Ooh is cramps a usual thing for you??

Might have to give temping a go if this isn't our month (although really hope I don't have to! 🤞) @Frizzy1986 - I'm sure it'll be worth it - just make sure you don't promise anything like this again lol x

Frizzy1986 · 18/05/2018 23:54

Think I'm 4 dpo but that's just based on my average cycle length and an app.
Don't feel it this month already though. Ttc #2 and on cycle 2. Have enjoyed dtd every other day since end of af. Trying to keep it relaxed though as stress does not suit me!
Sometimes I'm not sure why I'm putting myself through it again (I say as I sleep in the spare bed with a 4 year old as I promised her on holiday that one night I'd sleep with her. Damn uncomfortable bed!!)

8DaysAWeek · 18/05/2018 23:13

I find temping really interesting too. Again it's nice to confirm ovulation, though I do stress about the individual temps when they happen. I try to analyse them when really they are to be used as a whole to notice patterns.

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 18/05/2018 22:43

Pretty interesting tbh, can see a definite shift in temps going on. I seemed to drop temp for my whole fertile week and now it's slowly on the up again!
I'm not too stressed about it really, just take temp when my alarm goes off in morning (keep it under my pillow).
I've read it's kind of more useful to confirm things rather than to predict iykwim?

@TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong - how do you find temping? I've never tried it x

OP posts:
TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 18/05/2018 21:05

My fiancé was interested in the OPKs (though did ask if the solid smiling face meant I was pregnant 🙄) and is half interested in temps. Bless him!

Hi @mostimproved! My DH is feeling positive this month but tells me to try not think about it and see what happens! Yeah, let's just wait and see said no woman ttc ever! X

OP posts:
mostimproved · 18/05/2018 19:14

@8DaysAWeek yes I didn’t realise I would be so early so will probably end up testing at the end of May also! My MIL is staying with us on the weekend of 1st/2nd June so don’t want to be testing while she’s there really!
