Starting the 2WW today - anyone else?

79 replies

Anyone else want to buddy up for the 2WW?

AF is due May 30th so I am 1dpo today.

I am determined not to POAS until 12dpo but I know I'll be caving by Monday

OP posts:

Nothing much going on here. It’s too early for symptoms either way (I’m about 6dpo) and I’m having a bit of a bad day so part of me wonders whether adding another little one would be the best idea right now!

Hopefully - but not holding out too much hope @ELW85 I really got my hopes last cycle and it was so disappointing so trying not to do that this time.

OP posts:

ELW85 · 23/05/2019 11:05

@tisonlymeagain - that sounds positive maybe? I’m about 9DPO and feel crampy and have a breakout so not feeling too optimistic for this cycle.

Morning all 7dpo here, no symptoms whatsoever - of pregnancy or AF which is different because I was loaded with them last cycle. Still doing my temps which went up again this morning. Gives me faith that my body is actually doing it's thing correctly, so that's a great start!

Hope your yucky cold clears up soon @MeganMama28

MeganMama28 · 23/05/2019 07:07

I've been run down with a bad cold this whole 2WW which has meant its been a bit tricky to symptom spot! Currently 13dpo and have avoided POAS! Decided I'm going to wait until AF is due in 3 days time (if it hasn't come fx 🤞)

Hope this 2WW hurries up a bit and is a lucky one for us all 💕

@Clettercletterthatsbetter I agree!

How's everyone doing?

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 22/05/2019 17:07

Argh - this TWW is going so slowly! I’m still only 5 or 6dpo and it feels like the end of May is forever away!

ELW85 · 20/05/2019 10:29

Sounds like CD15 indeed!

Original poster

tisonlymeagain · 20/05/2019 10:12

They were negative by the morning of CD16 so I think CD15 is more likely. The strips were positive from 3pm on CD14 and still positive 24 hours later but faded by the morning on CD16.

OP posts:

ELW85 · 20/05/2019 10:03

I think if you got your surge in 14th and the strips weren’t as strong on 15th, then you probably O’d between 14/15. It depends when the strips went from surge back down to high, if that makes sense?
Pretty sure you’re covered though :)

I had three days of flashing smileys, peak solid smiley came on CD14 and also on the internet cheapy strips as well, though these were still positive on CD15. I don't suppose it really matters in the scheme of things, just confusing!

OP posts:

ELW85 · 20/05/2019 09:49

This is mine for reference :)

ELW85 · 20/05/2019 09:47

Yeah, I agree with CD16 depending on what we mean by a +OPK; when did you get your surge?

Plus temps are retroactive and can take a couple of days to reflect O.

It’s a minefield!

Abi58 · 20/05/2019 09:45

@tisonlymeagain makes sense with when you got positive opks 😁 did you feel any cramps at the time of ovulation?

Original poster

tisonlymeagain · 20/05/2019 09:39

Here's my chart - it originally put OV at CD14 Wednesday but today's temp has moved it to CD16

OP posts:

Abi58 · 20/05/2019 09:38

Hi everyone can I join? I think I'm 5dpo! Been charting my bbt and it's still rising, not sure how much it should rise?

Original poster

tisonlymeagain · 20/05/2019 09:28

No idea @ELW85 It confuses me, I'll post my chart in a minute so you can see! A couple of temps are out pre-ov because I got up late etc but they've been regular over the past week.

OP posts:

ELW85 · 20/05/2019 08:45

@tisonlymeagain - it’s actually the two days before O that are most fertile, with DTD on O itself only an 11% chance, so you’re actually in a good place!!

How has your AF date shifted because of temps though? I’m curious because my temp app changed my AF date and it doesn’t make sense to me!

tisonlymeagain · 20/05/2019 08:04

Ok so because of temps I am back to 4po today and AF due on 30th rather than 28th which is line with my Glow App based on OPKs except FF says I OVed on the Friday and Glow on the Thursday. Typically Friday was the only day we didn't DTD but hopefully it's okay because we did every other day that week!

OP posts:

ELW85 · 20/05/2019 06:56

A few months, but every month that passes, I get a bit more anxious that it’s not going to happen.

AlaskaWaves · 19/05/2019 21:21

@ELW85 how long have you been trying for?

ELW85 · 19/05/2019 20:57

I’m starting to get nervous to test; I want it to be positive more than anything, and find it so frustrating that we aren’t there yet in spite of temping and tracking.

AlaskaWaves · 19/05/2019 20:38

@tisonlymeagain same here!! I wish I could just fast forward this part.

We had a birthday party for DS at the weekend and it was so lovely having lots of toddlers running around and playing together. I've always wanted a big family but it's taken some time to adjust to having one, and then it seems like it's taking forever to have number 2!

I am so bored of this 2WW already!

OP posts:

ELW85 · 18/05/2019 11:35

@MeganMama28 pleased I could help, I’m sure OH isn’t my friend though, haha!
