Hi
Just wondering if there is anyone else who is now waiting the two weeks before testing. I had positive ovulation test on 27th this month so just a waiting game now :( only managed to dtd on 25th and 27th so hoping that will have kept me covered

Hi all.
AF for me is due on the 9th. Just wondering when everyone else will start testing? I hate the waiting! Find it so difficult especially on my days off it's all I think about haha

5DPO And cycle two for DC2. This time around the waits seem to be harder!
AF due on Friday 11th, but I'm also going on holiday that day so I will just see how it goes because I don't want to be disappointed and spoil the holiday.
Trying not to symptom spot this month.

Frillyfarmer · 02/01/2019 12:55

I’m 7DPO and far too invested in symptom spotting. Currently trying very very hard not to POAS. AF due 9th. 😬

This is going to sound strange but can toddlers smell changes in brests? DS stopped b-feeding about 6 months ago and hasn't really shown much intrestd after the first few weeks. This last week he's suddenly gone back feeling my brests and wanting to feed, just wondering if he might have smelt a difference if I have conceived?

Probably just clutching at straws but I have also been insanely tried and had cramp for the last 4/5 days.

Farhana170 · 01/01/2019 23:26

@gemmajen my luteal was 16days last month. I don't think going to test until my period comes this month. I ovulated about 5 days later this month compared to last month. I assume my cycle will be longer this month by 5 days? Just checked FF and yes, it's predicting a 35 day cycle this month. Have no idea why it's longer as I haven't been stressed out or anything. I have travelled a lot this month maybe that's why...hmm?

Hi all,
I ovulated on the 28th December (according to my clear blue fertility monitor) and am also in the TWW. We DTD 26th,27th and twice on 28th so hopefully we get a BFP this month. This is our 4th cycle TTC and I’ve only just got to grips with my ovulation as I was going by my app previously which was slightly late by a few days. I’m only 5dpo but had terrible cramps yesterday. I’m going to try to wait to test until 8/1/19. My fingers are crossed for everyone on here TTC Smile xx

Fortheloveofscience · 01/01/2019 20:45

I’m getting jealous with you all talking about your BBT. Which thermometers do you use? I’ve got a gut feeling I’m out even though I’m only 4DPO...

GemmaJen · 01/01/2019 20:41

@Farhana170 twinsies Smile, when do you think you will test? I had a 12 day luteal last cycle so ff says the 9th but I was initially planning on the 12th. I don't feel lucky this cycle but I'm sure I'll still be crushed if it's negative even with the lack of hope.

Farhana170 · 01/01/2019 20:32

@gemmajen after putting in temps today FF changed my ovulation by a day. So I'm now 5dpo again instead of 6

MyBreadIsEggy · 01/01/2019 19:49

Molly we are going away the day after my period is due, so if my period doesn’t arrive on the 12th Jan, then I’ll take a couple of tests on holiday with me. I won’t test before I don’t think. Just sets me up for more anxiety and waiting for my period 🤦🏻‍♀️

MollyFaith00 · 01/01/2019 19:06

@Frillyfarmer @MyBreadIsEggy sorry you're both feeling ropey too - so much illness going round 🙄!

@Frillyfarmer My little one is 2 years and 10 months - can't believe where the time has gone! I'm sure BF still keeps your cycle a bit loopy. BF didn't work out for us (😭) so I expressed until she was 10 weeks or so then moved to formula. Well done on BF for so long - it always impresses me!!!!

@MyBreadIsEggy I got my BFPs with both of my pregnancy's pretty early - about 6 days before period due using FRER. So at 9dpo.
This time I am going to TRY and wait. We are going away for a few days tomorrow and I was thinking I wouldn't take any tests with me. That would mean I can't test until the 8th when I will be about 11dpo. Both times I 'knew' I was pregnant by the time I tested - so if I'm not feeling anything by 11dpo then I will assume am out of luck for this month!

MyBreadIsEggy · 01/01/2019 16:06

GemmaJen
I’ve got 2 toddlers that just won’t quit Confused should keep the week running quickly!

Anyone else who has DC already, did you get early BFPs with those pregnancies?
I tested at the earliest opportunity with both previous pregnancies and came up negative every time until I finally got BFPs at about 5 weeks pregnant.
Don’t know whether to just wait until after my period is due to test and save myself all the uncertainty again Hmm

GemmaJen · 01/01/2019 15:44

Happy new year!

I'm now 5dpo, FF confirmed it on day 3, my temps are on a downward trend though, so not feeling lucky Sad

Just want to hurry the week through, ff says I can test on the 9th.

How's everyone keeping busy?

MollyFaith00 how old is your first? Mine is 15months and still BF at night so perhaps why my cycles are a little out of sync.

I’m dog sick today, no idea why, too early to POAS I think at 6DPO.

MyBreadIsEggy · 01/01/2019 15:31

Molly I’m feeling rough too.
Very hot, thirsty and generally bleurgghhh

MollyFaith00 · 01/01/2019 15:29

Happy new year ladies! How's everyone doing?

I'm 4dpo (I think) and have been struck down by a cold caught from my toddler. Am feeling shattered and know it's the cold but keep thinking 'is it implantation exhaustion..?' 😂🙄. Need to distract myself!!

Farhana170 · 30/12/2018 22:29

Hey everyone. Positive OPK on 26th but peaked on 27th. DTD on 26th only and 23rd (think that was too early to catch ovulation tho) app predicts ovulation was on 27th. So fingers crossed. Which means I'm 3dpo I think..

MyBreadIsEggy · 30/12/2018 21:24

Probably clutching at straws and imagining things, but could being insanely thirsty a sign of BFP to come? Hmm
Usually I don’t drink anywhere near enough water - I don’t ever feel massively thirsty. But this week I’ve been drinking like a fish Hmm

MollyFaith00 · 30/12/2018 18:30

@Frillyfarmer I'm TTC for second too :)

Frillyfarmer · 30/12/2018 16:52

I’m also in the 2WW, 4DPO I think. This is cycle 4 for me trying for #2. My cycles are a bit irregular in length so who knows. If I conceive this cycle, baby is likely to have same due date as DS.

MollyFaith00 · 30/12/2018 16:16

Hi ladies - I’m in the 2ww too! It’s going to be so hard not to start testing grin.

I very sadly had a late miscarriage about ten weeks ago and hadn’t ovulated since... then suddenly on the 27th I got a positive OPK. It was still positive on the 28th then negative on the 29th. So I’m guessing I ovulated on the 29th?

We dtd on the 27th, 28th and 29th so but I’m not holding out hopes as my body is still most likely in recovery... but still you can’t help but wish!

Cycle buddies with foreverbubblegum ovulated on 24th so now 6dpo. Also on cycle 1 ttc #2 I feel like the 2ww is going soooooo slow.
