Good luck ladies! Let the craziness commence!!

Lubilu28 · 30/07/2018 20:39

3dpo here!! And I feel like I’m going crazy 🙈 how can my husband go about his day normally? I can’t go 5 mins without having to google symptoms or research stuff😫🙈😂

LucyC10 · 30/07/2018 19:45

I've got a flashing smiley face on my OPK so I should be ovulating in the next few days - here we go again!

Tefiti2 · 30/07/2018 18:06

@donna474 @themagictorch 2dpo here too :-) partner works away so not sure we managed our timings this month!

TheMagicTorch · 30/07/2018 17:57

@donna474 I'm 2dpo 🤞

donna474 · 30/07/2018 16:29

Ovulated today so commencing the tww! Anyone else with me?!?

LucyC10 · 29/07/2018 23:54

Welcome to the chat @LKB24 and @Lubilu28 :)
I am still awaiting ovulation after my chemical pregnancy - my app tells me I should have ovulated today - but i'm still getting a plain circle on my OPK. I'm wondering if it's possible that I O'd early or perhaps the chemical will push it a few days late :/
@Lubilu28 - I don't often have cramps as such when ovulating - but often a sort of sensation - I can always feel it on one side or the other. But I know cramps are definitely a thing that happens to other people, and I think we are all much more aware of everything going on in our bodies when TTC - you feel everything! x

Lubilu28 · 26/07/2018 22:01

Hey can I join??

I’m on cycle 1 ttc #2 and I’m already going crazy 🙈🤣

I got a positive opk this morning and have been dtd everyday since Tuesday, trying to dtd every night till Sunday just in case ovulation is a little later!!

I’m rubbish at being patient so this tww is going to be torture 🙈!! I’m going to try and hold off from testing till 14dpo but I know by d10 I’ll have to 😂

What I want to know is do any of u ladies get really bad cramps at the time of big o? I’ve had them on off for the past 2-3 days!! Never had them this bad before! Tia x

LKB24 · 26/07/2018 12:34

I'm a little late to the party here but reading through all of these comments is making me realise I'm not the only person making myself so crazy about the whole wait so thank you all!! Smile

I've been having on/off cramping for the last few days, plenty of CM (TMI!) constipation (TMI again!) emotions all over the place and feeling CRAZY tired for most of the day and feeling like I need to nap when I get home from work before dinner!

I am now 8DPO and took a test this morning and it was negative and AF is due in 7 days and the wait til then has driven me to pure insanity and feel I've reached new heights of impatience. I feel most of what I've felt is way too early for any PMS feelings..? I'm lucky if I have a little cramping the day before AF turns up.

I don't like not being in control of my body or knowing what is causing me to feel this way. A very big part of me wants its to be 'THE' month but am I just kidding myself?

donna474 · 26/07/2018 08:24

I find that I seem to be ovulating a few days earlier than predicted on my app. I think the stage between my period ending and ovulating is too short. Can this be a problem in terms of not having a thick enough lining?

LucyC10 · 25/07/2018 18:48

Good luck @donna474
I'm wondering if I will ovulate a bit later this month due to the chemical pregnancy/slightly longer cycle. But I should be coming into my 'fertile window' anytime from now

purplestar9 · 24/07/2018 21:30

Good luck @donna474
Here's hoping this your and everyone's month! 🤞🏼

donna474 · 24/07/2018 21:14

Fertile window open for business tomorrow, commence the daily ovulation tests!

TheMagicTorch · 23/07/2018 16:33

@donna474 Ahh thats good, I've seen so many people say it's happened for them when they relaxed a little but it's easier said than done!
Yeah that's good - I've had loads of plans with the lovely weather so helps keep my mind off it a little bit!

donna474 · 23/07/2018 14:45

@TheMagicTorch starting cycle 7 now and I am less obsessed with it now. I find having the mindset that I'm not pregnant and planning holidays and things to do makes me more sane! I always become convinced I'm pregnant by 10dpo though!

LucyC10 · 23/07/2018 12:58

@TheMagicTorch - calling them cycles is definitely fitting! It is constant. I am still holding out hope that I will get less obsessive as i do more cycles - time will tell!

@donna474 - here we go again - good luck for this month :)

TheMagicTorch · 23/07/2018 10:25

@donna474 @LucyC10 I know, I mentioned this when chatting to someone else on MN, why do they call it the Two Week Wait - the whole month is a waiting game!
Wait for AF to finish..
Wait for positive OPK/ovulation signs
Then the TWW.
It's never ending 😂

donna474 · 23/07/2018 08:34

AF just finishing for me so time to commence the new obsession of figuring out when I ovulate! It's a never ending cycle!!

PeanutButterJellyTime2 · 23/07/2018 06:41

AF due for me on Saturday and am dreading it as I'm pretty sure it's coming! We have friends staying this weekend so I'm going to have to do a lot of fake smiles!

I've done five pregnancy tests in about four days. Thank goodness for Poundland...
Usually I'm so chilled, not with this!

LucyC10 · 23/07/2018 03:25

Is anyone else sort of feeling in no mans land after getting a BFN?
What am I supposed to obsess over for the next couple of weeks!!
On a positive note, I've finally stopped bleeding after my chemical pregnancy which I'm glad of as it was getting a little depressing!
How is everyone else doing? x

Bas27 · 22/07/2018 07:49

Nice to see some more bfps on here!
Please keep the thread going guys!
I'd love to see them all coming through ❤️🎉

I agree @donna474 and when we all get BFPs it would be far more exciting to share that with a group you’ve been talking to through a BFN... I’d LOVE to know when you all get your BFPs! X

purplestar9 · 18/07/2018 21:31

I caved earlier than I thought I would! I tested tonight BFN but we have a few things going on over next few days so wanted to test before! I have a feeling my natural cycle may be longer than I originally thought so even though my app says AF is due tomorrow, I think it's going to be more like Monday/Tuesday. So there's still a little bit of hope for this cycle... but I'm not counting on it.

donna474 · 18/07/2018 20:50

AF arrived at my doorstep today! Next month maybe! Do we just stay on this thread now or do we have to start a new one? Feel like I've got to know people (in a very strange way I know!)

FlapJackered · 18/07/2018 12:29

@FSlater - I am due AF on Sunday, so almost!
Sorry to hear about the bfn's but if you have still got 5 days, then there is still hope!
I tested too early last time and got a bit over obsessed with it, so trying to hold out this cycle, it is so hard though!!
