Anyone else starting 2ww

Hi @mostimproved !! I think we are a couple of the super early ones on the June bus. In fact, I might not even hold out until June to test haha

DH is actually quite optimistic which is nice, as I am not. I'm not going to tell him when I test, unless it's positive of course, and if it's negative and AF appears I'll tell him that I'm not pregnant then. I think he can just switch off pretty easily from the TWW as last month he didn't ask once. Though this month he's more interested in what my opks are like. He's not quite got on board with the temping yet!

I’m just starting the tww as well and have also got sore boobs - I had to hold them when I ran for the doorbell earlier! I think I’m only 2dpo so reckon it’s ovulation related.

@8DaysAWeek hello from the June bus - I’m also ttc #2 and about the same time in my cycle.

I’m feeling absolutely shattered and run down. In fact I feel the same way I did before I was diagnosed hypothyroid, even though my last blood results last month were in the optimal range for ttc so may need to head back to the GP and up my dose again.

How are all your DHs/DPs? Do they share in the tww anxiety or are they not at all bothered? Mine keeps asking if I feel pregnant yet

@starsandstuff 🤣🤣🤣

Mine are going to be sore just because I keep prodding them to check and I'm only 2dpo

@KimRobs87 I think they are your best bet for a bfp 9dpo but implantation might not even happen until 10dpo so again you're not out ifs negative anyway!
I believe that it's ok to drink in your tww (happy to be corrected). The embryo doesn't share your blood supply for a number of weeks after implantation I think.

@BuntyII ooh that's exciting. My only symptom with DS was sore boobs!

6/7dpo here - not really sure as didn't temp or use OPKs. My breasts are in agony, which isn't usual at this point in my cycle since I had DS. I have of course convinced myself I'm pregnant

Hi @8DaysAWeek thanks :) Do FRERs work at 9dpo? Will maybe get one just to have. I can sense the stockpiling starting already

Hi @starsandstuff

Hmm you'd only be 9dpo on the 25th so a bfn could well be a bfp a day or two later! Perhaps if you used a very sensitive test like a FRER you'd get a more reliable answer.

Hi all. I'm 1dpo (I think), TTC #1, cycle #1. Wanted to keep the first few months relaxed so haven't used opks, but AF quite regular, apart from last month when I got a random long cycle of 34 days...

When are you supposed to test? I have a test ready to go just a cheapy from co-op! I have a work do on 25th but don't know if a BFN on that day is definitely a BFN IYSWIM. If I don't drink at that there will be highly raised eyebrows...

Hi @Cloud9889! I think dtd before ovulation is recommended as the sperm are "lined up" to go! But when you get your positive opk ovulation won't happen for another 12-36 hours or so so if you dtd that day then it's likely you did it before ovulation anyway this month we dtd 3 days before, 1 day before and day of ovulation (according to my apps at least!).

Good plan @KimRobs87 I will have to think carefully about what is potentially wrong with me...we leave on the Friday.
We don't plan on telling anyone until the scan! That was the plan with my previous pregnancy too, but had to tell them at 9weeks due to bridesmaid dress fitting!!

Hi @Cloud9889 I think DTD just after a peak is good too, but I've read best to have a few spermies lying in wait already as well (so to speak)!

Hi, I’m trying to TTC number 3. I have been having around 34/35 day cycles. Last month I got a positive OPK same day as this cycle (CD21) so I think I’m going to have same length. Sounds silly but I’ve just seen that you should have sex before you ovulate not after as I thought!! Think I would know by now! Is this true? I got positive OPK CD21 , DTD CD21 and 22 think if not pregnant this month I will DTD earlier say cd 18/19?
Anyway I am now just starting the TWW as on CD24 which I think is 2 days past ovulation or possibly 3.

But how will I hide my mood!! 😂
And they will be suspicious of non alcohol drinking... hey ho!

Oh actually- just realised I'll be on holiday that week anyway!!
With my parents and sister and brother in law... oh gawd!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@8DaysAWeek I know, so cruel!! But I wasn't sure when I ovulated either...

Oh gosh, I hadn't considered work, I'll either test early on the Sunday too or have to wait until the Thursday 31!! Ahhhh so long away!

@TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong 8 days late!?! That's so cruel!!

@KimRobs87 yeah it should be 4 days earlier. The luteal phase (time between ovulation and next period) rarely changes beyond a day either way if periods are regular. So if you always have a 14 day LP then AF should come in 13 days for you.

My LP last month was super short and only 9 or 10 days, but I read that's common once they return after BFing or coming off the pill. So I'm hoping it's lengthened out!

I think I'm going to test on Sunday 27th. I'll be 12dpo. I don't want to test on the Monday or Tuesday as I'm working those days and don't think I can wait until the Wednesday

AF is currently due 29th, who knows when I'll test!
Last month I was 8 days late, my body is taunting me!! Though I think it was because I started Conceive Plus tablets part way through so through my cycle out a bit.

Yep, they're the ones I'm using-clear blue advanced. Got a 20pack toco we all bases of a crazy cycle, but only used 6 in the end
