TWW: AF due 11 August

@Coastaldreamer aww bless you! I stayed at work with my previous AF just before the end of shift 🙃 had done a frer the day before though so was expecting it tbh, still it's so awful when it arrives

What DPO are you??

@flossy12 good luck on the testing! Not long to wait although the TWW always seems like an actual year....! Last month was so crap as AF came at work so I was so upset and crying in the work kitchen with my friend who luckily was there for me...

I'm a little behind you guys only 1dpo so no chance of symptoms yet ...I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot this month as last month I had convinced myself I was pregnant due to 9 days of dull mild cramping before AF which I've never had before

@KCM99 your symptoms sound promising though!

Fingers crossed for you all !

Aargh I am driving myself mad! I know I am so lucky that I already have children but.....Really cursing myself for not checking my period tracker that was running when we got PG with the last one, way more DTD then that we have this month 😓 but aware of clocks ticking. When is the absolute earliest to test? Then if BFN then I can deal with it rather than waiting

@secretllama @KCM99 @Coastaldreamer I know 😂😂 had a lot of CM past couple days way more than usual, had a slight stomach cramp the other day but nothing since and no other symptoms so I think our pulling out might have worked 😅

I'm testing on the 8th @Coastaldreamer it's OHs Birthday as well!! I'm 7dpo today

If so I'll be ovulating again about 29th August

Can I join in?
I'm not technically in the 2ww just yet but not far off it. Ovulation pains, ewcm and back ache means I'll ovulate in the next few days.
I'm ttc #3. When ttc my it took over a year my second it happened the first month. This is our first month ttc this one so wonder how long it will take.

@KCM99 haha that's super early 😅 I'm going to test on CD28 with one of the cheapies. You know just to disappoint myself 🤦🏽‍♀️

OPK’s have never seemed to work for me and pretty sure got PG the last times right at the end of my period but stupidly didn’t get going on that very quickly this month 😓.

@flossy12 lol! 😂 They really have no idea of the wonderful things we go through.

6DPO (I think) and counting...

Anyone testing early??

@KCM99 @flossy12 Such glamorous times!!

@Chaosonthehorizon Oh no, what makes you think that?

Joining 😀, now panicking that I have missed the right time 😱

I'm coming to the stage in my cycle where the constipation kicks in 🙃 and the CM increases ... oh how the OH has no idea of what we go through every month 😅😅 @KCM99

Haha yep! I never opk tested twice a day last time and this time I did .... I just never really believed you could actually miss it by hours!!

@secretllama haha what are the odds. Guess it's time to dtd 😅

Ok I jinxed it and got my very first strong clear positive on an opk!! Cd16....Wonder how it was missed in the other cycles??

@Coastaldreamer yeah I'm jealous off all these people and their precise routine cycles haha the temping isnt too bad...it was the opk sticks that stressed me out more when I done those for a cycle ! Never really got a strong clear positive although I've heard you can miss your surge in the night so trying temping purely to see I am ovulating !!

@secretllama it's sooo annoying having these type of cycles! I haven't tried temping but I feel like it would stress me out

Thanks, will be happy to just hear if there's an actual problem or just need to be patient

@Coastaldreamer my cycles have been weird days too! A day longer each time This is my first cycle temping i just wanted to confirm i actually am ovulating I guess but will see what happens...cd16 today and no rise so will wait and see! Hope it all goes well at the docs xx

Hey mind if I jump onto this thread 😊

I'm 31 and DH just turned 33

AF due 10th August and my last few cycle days have been 29, 34, 28, 35 and 30 😑 so making TTC #1 difficult trying to track the days. This cycle dtd every other day since CD10 so hopefully it works!

Also started with doctors appointment today to begin checks on both DH and myself as we have been trying for about 6 cycles and I've had a history with cyst removal. Had a 21day blood test this morning, rubella & chlamydia checks and DH got semen analysis next week.

Sorry for the long essay 🙁

Wishing you all well on this cycle! 🤞🏼

hi ladies! AF due 9th August here so would love some buddies to rant to during the 2ww....as far its been awful hate the unknown 😑 This is cycle 1 to conceive baby number 2. didn't temp or ovulation test or anything according to one app I have dtd 2x during fertile window and the other only once so not hopeful 😑 We agreed to not become chore like or stressy so more or less not preventing but not proper 'trying' but not I really don't want a BFN 😣

@KCM99 sorry to hear about your losses!

@flossy12 I bet it's the not trying that could work wonders so many anecdotes tell me!
