Anybody else started the TWW?

I'm pretty certain I ovulated on Friday, after 2 months of constant negative opks. So these next two weeks are going to drive me fully barmy! Anyone else out there in the TWW?

@mrssc92 aww no, that's so annoying when it does that, it's like it's tricking you! I've had it a few times - only since TTC of course! - when it's been late for no reason or random spotting. I've even had hormone levels checked out this month cos of it. It's frustrating cos you just want it to come on and get on with it if it's coming. Feel your pain x

Hopeful2020 · 10/09/2019 13:42

@ALittleBitAlexis Boo, it's never nice to get a BFN, but 10dpo is still quite early, depending when implantation occurs. Even if not, a longer cycle sounds good - it's a good sign hormone levels are balanced 👍🏻 fingers crossed

MrssC92 · 10/09/2019 10:32

Congratulations on all the BFPs! Definitely a very lucky thread.
Af/bfp was due yesterday for me. I started spotting very lightly at 12dpo which lasted for about 24 hours and since then absolutely nothing. I've done tests just in case it was implantation bleeding bevause I never usually spot but all BFN! Think it's just my body teasing me. Just want af to start properly so i can be back to cd1 and start again.

I gave in and did a frer today, at 10dpo. BFN. My lower abdomen is warm and a bit crampy so I think I'm out, although I don't normally get cramps until after AF arrives so it is a bit weird. Either way, this is CD25 so it's the longest cycle I've had for a few months, so I'm seeing the positive in that.

Fingers crossed we get some more BFPs on the thread!

@Chaosonthehorizon I think there's a few of us in here trying for #3, so frustrating when it's just happened easily twice before! My youngest is 2 so hoping I get lucky soon so we'd have about a 3 year gap. Eldest is 10 though & she's v.helpful with her little bro! What ages are yours? How long have you been TTC this time?

I'm 12dpo today, trying not to get hopes up but cautiously optimistic as had a few good signs. But then I've been absolutely convinced before & been totally wrong!
So great to see all these BFP pics, makes me want to test now! Holding on til Thurs though, only 2 more days 🤞🏻
BBT was up high again today at 36.7 for the 2nd day in a row, apparently 3 days in a row is a good sign...

How is everyone else feeling today? X

Chaosonthehorizon · 09/09/2019 23:06

Hi hopeful2020 also ttc 3 here but waiting for OV. How old is your youngest now? Taking us longer this time too 😓

Pineapplebaby · 09/09/2019 21:58

@Moongirl10 that’s fantastic news; congratulations! Xx

Nicecupofcoco · 09/09/2019 20:27

Fantastic news, congratulation @Moongirl10 Smile

Cake2 · 09/09/2019 20:04

Congrats @Moongirl10 💕💕 another May baby 🥰

flossy12 · 09/09/2019 19:56

@Moongirl10 Can't believe how many of us have had a BFP in the past 2 weeks 😱 it's insane! Good thing we don't all live in the save town 😅

Moongirl10 · 09/09/2019 19:52

@flossy12 yay thank you! I will probably take it tomorrow morning then 😀

flossy12 · 09/09/2019 19:48

@Moongirl10 eeekkk all the BFPs this month! We're all so lucky! 💞 I did mine with FMU I was 12dpo with my FRER and 13dpo with the digital

Moongirl10 · 09/09/2019 18:49

Hi ladies, I said I would update you all so the pic attached is my tests (most recent at the top taken this morning). I had been having a small amount of brown spotting the last two days but it seems to have stopped today. I bought a digital test, does anyone know when is the best time to take it? Today would’ve been the first day of my period. Smile

Hopeful2020 · 09/09/2019 16:35

Afternoon all, hope you don't mind me jumping on.
I'm currently 11dpo and had been pretty cool about the 2ww... Until today! 😂 So close but still so far! I'm going to hold on til Thurs when period would be due to test.
I'm month 4 TTC baby 3, the other 2 were very easy so this is all new, all seems to have slowed down now I'm 35.
Trying not to symptom spot as there have been times I've had ALL the symptoms and not been PG, and times when I was PG and had nothing, so who knows!
Lovely to see some BFPs already, congrats to all & hopefully it's a lucky thread!
Hang in there and good luck to everyone xx

Ellsbells112 · 09/09/2019 15:21

Hey all! Congrats for all the BFP!! Always great news to hear ❤
I'm ttc number 2!
Looking for some buddies during the two week wait lol I am only 2DPO!
Super hopeful for some good news, anyone else quite early on in the 2ww?? X

Momsrock · 09/09/2019 13:39

I ve just ordered femSense patches, saw them advertised here last month, they are supposed to do all the temperature measuring for you. lets see...

Nicecupofcoco · 09/09/2019 12:19

@ALittleBitAlexis I know how you feel, Im only 8dpo and stupidly tested this morning! Why do it to myself? Bfn to be expected I guess!
Right no more testing for me until the weekend!
I had cramps, but nothing now! I feel deflated after testing... Even though rationally I know it's far too early to test. Ttc is driving me insane! Grin

ALittleBitAlexis · 09/09/2019 07:56

I'm feeling so tempted this morning to get an FRER, but I'm sure it'll just lead to disappointment. CD24 of a typical 28 day cycle (but the last two cycles have been short - 19 and 25 days with a few days of spotting beforehand both times); I think 9 or 10dpo.

I've felt a bit crampy the last couple of days with a lot of CM and I'm bizarrely teary, but the cramps feel a lot like light menstrual cramps (except I usually don't get the pain until CD2) and I'm really conscious of looking for symptoms that aren't actually there! Ugh, this is frustrating!

thankgoodnessforeurope · 08/09/2019 22:21

Congrats on the BFPs! 39 and TTC #3 too! 2 and 9 year old. Both conceived immediately so strange to actually be “trying”!

CD3 here, after random bleeding stopped. Had a few CPs so starting fertility tests this week.

Chaosonthehorizon · 08/09/2019 21:30

5 and 3 here and same, straight away in fact! Not the case now 😓. Ah well hopefully the next few days will change that. Then to start panicking about actually having three children rather than just really wanting 3! Not that my 2 aren’t amazing of course

teachermam · 08/09/2019 13:04

I've an8 a d 5 year old
It didn't take as long with the first too

Chaosonthehorizon · 08/09/2019 12:54

Hi teachermam ttc 3 here too and in my late 30’s. What ages are your other kids? Sorry about your chemical.

teachermam · 08/09/2019 10:52

Hello

Congrats on all the bfps

I'm 8 dpo ttc number 3 at 39

Had a chemical after 6 cycles and now on 5th one since then

Boobs are tender but that's about it really

Will try hold off until Saturday to test

Cake2 · 08/09/2019 10:38

Exciting @Moongirl10! Fingers crossed it gets darker 😊 keep us updated!

I was out last night... only one not drinking and out of all of us I think I feel most like I have a hangover 🙈😂

flossy12 · 08/09/2019 09:43

@bot far off then! 😁 I'm either 13 or 14dpo today depending on OV day ☺️ can't believe it's all happening now 😯
