Anybody in their 2WW?

Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday (hopefully!), due AF on 13th May, anybody else starting their 2WW?

(Warning: I am a serial symptom spotter and POAS addict, I have zero willpower 😂)

@Mummylanie3 that’s sounding good if none of it is normal for you! I’m waiting for any pulling/pinching as I felt implantation with my DD

@Abi58 I’ve never tested before 9DPO, but didn’t get a positive with DD until 12DPO and it was very faint, so going to try and hold out until 13DPO which for me is 12th, so still a week away! X

@MMama18
Yes very true! That's good if it's not normal for you! Keeping everything crossed for you 
When are you going to test? I'm feeling your pain with the pepperoni pizza (made me giggle!) I have it too!

@RudyRoo
Yeah hopefully! Not sure what's going on though, had 1 day of my usual light and day 2 was even lighter and now nothing... (didn't even need to use a towel or anything!) not sure that's good...either still not back to normal or something else.
Glad you're feeling okSmile virgin cocktails now Grin

@rudyroo great that you got a darkening line! Hoping your bean sticks good and proper :-)

@mama18 - joining you on 6dpo pizza face - I have dehydrated skin most of the time but I get real t zone oiliness around this time in my cycle. I’ve never tracked my luteal phase with temps before so hoping it isn’t short and the ovusense graph stays above the cover line! At least my glue ear is distracting...

als2912 · 05/05/2019 11:12

@RudyRoo all good thank you 😊 been extremely bloated for the last couple of days and still relatively sore boobs so still keeping my fingers crossed! It's definitely helped me by being away as it's taken my mind off of thinking about it and helped me relax before I POAS on Wednesday!

@MMama18 fingers crossed for you! Haha the pepperoni pizza face comment made me laugh 😂 I know how you feel I've always had acne on my back and it's so annoying! Being on the pill definitely helped it but obviously now not being on it they came back with a vengeance 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

@RudyRoo yes 4w5d by my calculations too! I think it was £70, which is an extortionate amount of money for the grand total of ten minutes the appointment lasted, but worth every penny for the reassurance. After 6 weeks I’m pretty sure the MC risk drops by half weekly, by week 8 pretty sure it’s around 2% if heartbeat is seen so that would definitely put my mind at rest.
I don’t know 😫 6DPO seems too early for anything to be happening, implantation could happen today maybe at the earliest. I am still a pepperoni-pizza-face and my boobs have shooting pains in, so I’m just hoping it means I have lots of hormones floating about that’ll help maintain a pregnancy if it does start 🤞 x

RudyRoo · 05/05/2019 10:35

How are all you other ladies doing? I hope you get BFP soon! x

RudyRoo · 05/05/2019 10:34

@MMama18 I took another cheapy test today and the line is definitely darker than yesterday, so now that I have run out of tests I'm going to stop! That sounds good, about the 7/8 week mark. My last period was 2nd April - just checking does that make me 4weeks and 5 days now?!
I was thinking of booking into an early scan around 8 weeks too - can you remember how much your was?
How are you feeling today? Any more symptom spotting?! 🙈 xx

@RudyRoo haha that sounds like me, I was taking tests for days just to make sure! Glad you’re feeling well, my tiredness and sickness both really kicked in at around 6 weeks so try to enjoy these next few weeks!
My DH was actually away with work when I got my BFP and my DM was with me so she knew before DH! But we had a private scan done and then told close family after at about 7 weeks so about what you’re thinking. Didn’t tell friends or wider family until after 12 week scan x

OP posts:
RudyRoo · 04/05/2019 13:42

Ps. Did another test this morning just to be sure - couldn't help myself. 😂

RudyRoo · 04/05/2019 13:40

@MMama18 yeah if you've been thinking about it a long time then will feel like an age, so good for you the operation is under your belt and you can crack on with things though!
I'm feeling good, just really looking forward to getting these first few weeks out the way and can enter into safe period. I'm so excited to tell my family. I think when I come back from holiday I'll be about 7/8 weeks so will probably tell them then. 😊 How long did you wait with your DD? x

RudyRoo · 04/05/2019 13:37

Thank you so much @Abi58 honestly couldn't believe my eyes and still having to pinch myself! So used to seeing a big blank test it's just so surreal, in a good way 😊 I'm feeling okay thanks, just a bit more tired than usual and trying to get my head around the no drinking at the weekends 😂
That's a good sign AF is back for you as your cycles seems to be getting back to normal pretty quickly. Roll on ovulation window for you! 🤞🏼

Kiskacsa · 04/05/2019 12:05

Fingers crossed @mmama18 - 5dpo for me too, and my only unusual symptom is a worsening ear infection 😂 off to a wedding and being thankful that at least being this early in tww it’s safe to have a drink :-) sorry af visited @abi58 but good that you’re coming off the pill so quick, took me ages when I last had to - one of the reasons I switched to a coil!

Thank you @RudyRoo I know it’s only my first cycle but we’ve been waiting to TTC for about 6 months as I was on a waiting list for an operation under general anaesthetic which I had done earlier in the year. I just feel like I’ve been waiting ages!
How do you feel today? I bet you feel like yesterday was a dream! X

OP posts:
RudyRoo · 04/05/2019 11:02

@MMama18 this could be a good sign if things are different from usual! Keep us updated and I'll have everything crossed for you! 🤞🏼 x

And so it has begun 😫 I woke up today at 5DPO with tender boobs and a skin breakout, neither of which is normal for me, at least until 1/2 days before AF (she should still be 9 days away!) I usually get a couple of little spots (if any!) around my chin bit this morning they’re on my chin, cheeks, forehead and hairline 😫 I literally look like a spotty teenager and my skin is sooo greasy!

MMama18 · 03/05/2019 22:08

@Abi58 sorry AF got you, but at least you have a good starting point now for next cycle!
So far it’s only Rudy that’s got her BFP so we could all end up a few weeks behind her, will just have to wait and see 🤞 that’s nothing really in pregnancy terms, especially with due dates, I could catch next cycle and my baby come early and Rudys be late and end up within a few days of each other! Pregnancy literally has no rules 😂
I’m 5DPO tomorrow so I’m hoping it’ll start to go a bit faster now that it’s biologically possible that things might be starting to happen, 1-5DPO is just depressing because you can have ever pg symptom there is and still know it’s impossible!

Abi58 · 03/05/2019 21:54

@RudyRoo congratulations!!!!! That's amazing news!!!! How are you feeling?? Grin

@MMama18 the next few days will hopefully go a bit quicker for you! Always when you want it to hurry up time goes slower!

So this morning af arrived! A bit gutted but at the same time this is the first real period I've had in over 12 years (last withdrawal bleed was in March!) and I'm taking it as a sign my body is getting back to normal after the pill, bring on this next cycle Grin I'll be a couple of weeks behind but would love to stay on this thread if it's still going? Also love the idea of a pregnancy group!

@kiskacsa welcome, sorry for your loss. I’m at 4DPO too 😫 we will try and resist POAS together! We’ve already had a blazing BFP on this thread so hoping the luck continues for the rest of us 🤞

@als2912 that’s a good tactic! 13DPO should be a good enough time to POAS, especially if your symptoms continue!

I’m trying to distract myself. I’ve been measuring up DD bedroom as we’re only in a 2 bed house (DDs room is a generous double though) and working out how I’m going to fit a bed for her, a cot and two wardrobes 😂 and then the CF in me is panicking about how the F I’ll decorate it if I have a boy next. Days need to go faster! 😬

als2912 · 03/05/2019 12:13

@RudyRoo so excited for you!

@MMama18 yes that would be great setting up a pregnancy thread if all goes to plan! One good thing is that I'm away for this whole weekend camping so I've purposely not bought any tests so I'm forcing myself to wait till Tuesday by which time I will be 13DPO!
