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 😂)

Me and DH are going to Italy for 2 weeks in mid May and I'm trying to figure out if I should just try and be cool, calm collected and just acccept that I might not know ovulation day (shouldn't really matter when we are on holiday DTD lots anyway!) or if I should be slightly crazy lady and take some OPK's on holiday with me! That's if nothing happens this time anyway 🤞🏼

RudyRoo · 30/04/2019 16:31

@MMama18 haha you sound as crazy as me 😂 well the thing is if you've been DTD every second day, then it shouldn't really matter, is it more that you want to know for definite ovulation day so you know how many DPO you are?

@MrsEG post back if you get any symptoms/POAS results!

@Rudy that’s very true, but in my attempt to be more chilled out this time I’ve made myself worse! We decided to BD every other day for my whole cycle (except period days, yuck!) and not rely on OPKs and then I wouldn’t know what DPO I was so couldn’t develop ‘the crazy’ 😜 BUT I am convinced I had ov pain on my right side (which I could have had before but never really put it down to ov!) so now I’m kicking myself wishing I’d be using OPKs and ‘the crazy’ is starting to creep out 😂

@MMama18 I know it's so bad isn't it 🙈 I now hide mine from DH as he thinks I'm a mad woman...which I am 😬 yeah your paranoia is understandable after going through that, but sometimes think we are just making ourselves more anxious with constant tests and analysing! Wish I could be more chilled out but it's just so hard.

MrsEG · 30/04/2019 12:46

@MMama18 Ah Thank you lovely, I really hope so! 🤞🏻

@Rudy what a pain! I think it’s brave holding out like you are! 💪 I think I’m going to have to try and be better this time around, my DH (the sarky git!) has already joked about taking out a loan to fund my HPT buying! With DD I kept buying and taking them to make sure the line was getting darker, after two MCs I think I was just paranoid.

@MMama18 not really sure when AF is die, as can sometimes be a week or so out. But maybe around 32-34 days average. I'm now on CD29 and 11dpo so I might do a text in a few days if I feel brave enough. Can't stand seeing a bit white test glaring back at me though 😫

@MrsEG I had 2 MCs before DD (you’d think I’d know better!) so there is light at the end of the tunnel! 🤞3rd time lucky for you too!

@fluffybunny86 Yep it will be my first :)

@MMama18 Ha I used to be a real POAS addict but have had two MCs so I can’t bear the heartbreak of a BFN anymore, so wait til I am late - I honestly rather AF show than see a BFN these days!

@Rudy we all have bitchy days don’t worry, MN definitely brings out the worst in me to add to it!
I figured I was being a little silly, as you really can’t plan these things can you! (As much as my brain wants to try to!)

When is your nuisance AF flow due? I got my BFP with DD at 12DPO (I’d been testing since about 10dpo 🙈), it wasn’t quite a squinter but still pretty faint, at 13DPO it was quite a bit darker

Hi @MMama18 oh yeah that was the day I was a right cranky bitch! That's great you decided to go ahead, no point in putting it off really! Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼
No it's the CD21 test they check for progesterone levels to make sure you are ovulating. Sure it will be fine but I'm always a bit anxious when getting any sort of results!

Cross posts!

We’re TTC #2, I already have a DD (15 months)

Hi @Rudy! I remember you from my ‘siblings with close birthdays’ post. We decided to TTC this month despite my anxieties about close birthdays 🙈

Are you waiting on a pregnancy test from the doctor?! Good luck! 🤞

How do you do it! 😫 I’m only 1DPO already itching to buy tests, ridiculous I know! DH calls it my ‘TTC crazy’ and won’t talk to me about any symptoms I think I may have 😂

RudyRoo · 30/04/2019 11:45

Hi ladies 👋🏼 I am 12dpp. Going slightly mad 😬 not really any symptoms apart from bit of cramping. Got appt at my gp tomorrow to get results back from CD21 test. Feeling on edge, don't know if I should test soon or wait and see if AF turns up (although she's a bit erratic so not the most reliable!)

fluffybunny86 · 30/04/2019 11:44

Me three, OV yesterday and AF due Monday 13th. Was thinking of using FRER the Saturday before as the TWW just feels such a long time.
Will this be both your firsts?

MrsEG · 30/04/2019 11:39

Exact same! Ovulated yesterday, AF or BFP due Monday 13th. I’m the exact opposite though, won’t go near a FRER til I’m late! I’d go completely insane otherwise!! Good luck :)
