Mid August 2ww - anyone else out there?

328 replies

rollerskaterdata · 15/08/2018 09:37

Hi all! I'm in my first ever 2ww and was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat? Think I'm approx 1 dpo judging by previous cycle patterns, Ov pain and CM as I don't use OPKs or do BBT (too lazy!). Loosely followed SMEP this month, fx this is the month!

Age: 27
TTC: #2 (DS1 was a happy surprise)
Cycle No: 1
Cycle Length: 26-28 days
AF/BFP due: 29th August but I'll be testing on the 28th which will be CD 28

Looking forward to waiting with you all! And trying not to POAS at 5dpo Blush!

@rollerskaterdata I completely agree! It's hard not knowing, it's constantly have I done too much or have I done too little? So irritating! I get that it's all supposed to be fun, but it really is so stressful honestly, and I'm on month one!!!!

@cupcakesandglitter don't worry hun it'll be the 23rd in less than an hour! I have heard that before too, I guess it makes sense as stress isn't good for the body. Doesn't bode well for me then! And I've totally thought of doing that too next month, it does count (as we're still hoping to catch the eggy) I'm just worried if I throw abandon to the wind we may not BD at the right time and then it'll take even longer?! This TTC malarkey has got to be the least fun thing ever x

@rollerskaterdata nope you're right, we are 😂 I thought it was the 23rd today, getting ahead of myself 😩 yeah I'm just gonna try and stay positive, I don't feel pregnant though actually. My mum was telling me whenever she tried it didn't happen, she only got pg when she wasn't trying. Thought about not even checking when I ov next month and just DTD whenever we feel like it - but then that also doesn't count as TTC so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm CD 22, thought we were cycle day buddies?! Unless I can't count 😂 yeah it's so frustrating knowing it's possible RIGHT NOW...but also unlikely LOL! Still keeping positive it's our month! (like I probably will every month 🤣)

@rollerskaterdata we're only on CD23 I think? Don't know what I was expecting 😂 of course I googled whether it was possible to get a BFP on it (it is) but still, I knew it'd be a negative. And Thankyou, I have them crossed for you too, hopefully this is our month! X

@cupcakesandglitter yaye for testing! I haven't yet but only because was a mad dash to work today, didn't have time 😂 it's probably still too early so I'm certain you're not out yet hun! I have absolutely everything crossed for you! 🤞

@rollerskaterdata definitely sounds positive though!! I did one of the Poundland tests, I knew it'd be a BFN, I just couldn't resist 😂 one test down, nine to go

@curlies I hope you're right! Now I'm thinking if it was implantation I may not have enough HCG in my system for a FRER to pick it up Friday morning with FMU 😫 this tww is bloody awful! And I don't know how I would survive without Dr google 😂

OP posts:
curlies · 22/08/2018 20:54

@cupcakesandglitter think of the days without google! How did people survive?!

curlies · 22/08/2018 20:53

@rollerskaterdata I think it's your month! Argh why is it all so ambiguous!

@curlies 😂 I can't stop googling it's ridiculous!

Just had a really noticeable pinching sensation on left side of uterus that took my breath away. Now having odd poking / pinching sensations in the same area. And so of course I'm off to consult Dr Google 🤓

Hi @curlies same here 😂 what would life be without a day of frantically googling EVERYTHING? 😂

curlies · 22/08/2018 20:21

Hi everyone!

Headaches and naps for me today. Should have been doing work. Got one hour done 😂. Not feeling as sick today but it's still slightly there. Still googling like a mad woman but resisting testing!

cupcakesandglitter · 22/08/2018 19:53

@GreatestShowWoman ooh lovely, enjoy! X

GreatestShowWoman · 22/08/2018 19:47

@cupcakesandglitter resting 😂 not really just worked a 10 hour day! Going to have a bath now though!

cupcakesandglitter · 22/08/2018 19:45

@thejollytrolleydolly I'm super tired today too - came home from work early, knocked out, DH came home and woke me up, knocked out again, and I can feel myself falling asleep as I write this 😴

@rollerskaterdata I've had the tugging too! A few times now I've felt like AF is coming but it can't possibly be this early!

Ah @GreatestShowWoman, are you resting up? X

GreatestShowWoman · 22/08/2018 18:36

Usually get a bit of pain but never this bad even before I started using reusables

GreatestShowWoman · 22/08/2018 18:33

No pain today but feeling super nauseous now

Ouchy @GreatestShowWoman I hope you're feeling better today?

So I have well and truly lost it. I took the plastic wrapping off the packaging of my FRERs and CB digital tests and then put the boxes back in my bathroom cabinet just so I felt like I was doing something 😳😂

thejollytrolleydolly · 22/08/2018 17:21

@GreatestShowWoman ouch!! Do you normally have bad period cramps or is this strange for you? I hope your tum is feeling better today x

GreatestShowWoman · 22/08/2018 16:35

@thejollytrolleydolly too soft lucky you I was doubled over yesterday and I have a high pain threshold!

thejollytrolleydolly · 22/08/2018 15:59

@rollerskaterdata at least it's a cheap habit! 😉

rollerskaterdata · 22/08/2018 15:43

@thejollytrolleydolly that exactly! Way too soft and early to be AF, not due until next Monday or Wednesday! And thank you! Or maybe not, this is feeding my habit...😂
