Starting the TWW - anyone want to join ?

So I think I'm in the tww, had a positive OPK on Monday afternoon and negative since so think I may be 1 or 2 dpo

Not sure we've done enough this month so will be surprised if it does happen .

Anyone want to join me in the wait?

@MakeAWhish same as me with the positive opk yesterday morning using CP. Plan on bd again tonight too just to be sure as well. I guess it's hard to pin point ovulation exactly after that. What cd are you on? X

After getting a positive opk yesterday morning, we bd'd with conceive plus. Got another positive opk this morning but then negative this afternoon so I'm wondering if I ovulated today at some point - I did have sharp pains in my abdomen on the right hand side. Will BD again with CP tonight and then I'll officially, finally, be in the 2WW! Can't wait to turn mental 😛

Trying not to do any symptom spotting as it's too early for me too really, but it's so hard not to read into everything going on with your body, isn't it?!

Wishing you the best of luck @LongLegsStarryEyes!!

@reginaphalange89 - omg I've daydreamed so many cute Christmas Day ways to announce to friends and family! I was thinking about getting my parents and in laws little cards saying "you're going to be a grandma" (will be the first grandchild on both sides).

I'm on CD 22, and I think I'm 10 days post ovulation so planning on doing a first response in the morning. Feel sick with nerves! Need to calm down!

At first I was super positive as my boobs swelled and went puffy and painful, but they've calmed down again now, and my cervix is definitely low, hard and closed :( Been mad symptom spotting with bouts of lightheadedness but I think I'm just not drinking enough water!

Good luck to everyone! Xx

Welcome everyone !

Anyone symptom spotting yet? Think I'm only 2/3dpo so too early for anything over here !

4dpo here, first cycle TTC DC2. It's going soooo slowly! Hope you're holding up well during the wait!

showmethegin · 08/11/2018 07:35

@ReginaPhalange89 no you're not the only one. I think if I've worked it out correctly if I caught this cycle then I would be 12 weeks on New Year's Eve!

MakeAWhish · 07/11/2018 22:32

May I join! Positive opk today so will be starting the 2WW tomorrow. This cycle is dragging, feels like it took forever to get here! (Cd18)

Haha @mseddy glad it's not just me ! I was thinking the same as I'd be about 9 weeks at Christmas. Although I'd likely not be able to keep it a secret til then, I told my immediate family at like 4 weeks last time 😂

@Regina I do the same thing!! I've already decided I'd have an early private scan this cycle if it works so I can tell family at Christmas!

Welcome everyone !
The wait is so so long ! So let's use this thread to update each other !

Am I the only one who works out a new due date every time a new cycle starts ? 😂 I was so sad to have not caught first month trying , it would have meant the 12 week scan the week before Christmas and I was looking up loads of cute ways to do a Christmas announcement ! Oh well 😂🙈

I’m not quite ready to join you, hoping to start our TWW next week but @ReginaPhalange89 just wanted to say I was exactly the same as you last month!
Hoping you all get BFPs in a few weeks x

Mseddy · 07/11/2018 19:47

Hey, I'll join you guys. I had a positive OPK on Monday and negative yesterday so I'm guessing I'm 1 or 2 dpo. We managed to do it a fair bit this month, and we used preseed for the first time so I'm feeling positive this month :) good luck everyone!!

mrsof20118 · 07/11/2018 19:39

I'll join you. Got my positive opk today so nearly in my 2ww. Good luck to both of you x

It's awful isn't it ? 😣 This is only our second month but last month it felt soooo long . My last baby we conceived 1st month so I totally convinced myself itd happen again lol. I also got a few faint lines on cheap tests which obviously weren't positive so I've told myself I'm not testing this time til AF is late and will only use a decent brand !

showmethegin · 07/11/2018 14:49

I am! It's our first month trying and didn't use ovulation sticks (rectifying that next month!) so I'm guessing I'm about 4/5 days dpo.

I don't like this waiting business!
