Ovulation day - 2ww just starting

Anyone fancy a little obsessing? 😂
I'm apparently ovulating today according to peak clearblue yesterday and my apps.
I never used to have such a long luteal phase as it was only 10 days so having to wait for 14 is going to drive me nuts 🙈

Welcome @TigerJoy!

My cycles have been a bit crazy since losing our little one in december so I'm not sure what to expect. With ovulation on day 15 it could mean anything. I used to have a 10 day luteal phase but who knows.

Still going to try and hold out until 21st but we will see.

Hi can I join?

I'm about a week behind - ovulated Friday, DTD last Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. Would like to again today but DH and I have woken up with colds and are feeling rubbish. Hoping it'll be enough! Interested to see people keep going after the window...my sister told me each of hers were conceived by DTD a day or two before ovulation.

I've got cramps and am craving rubbish, and am also being really snappy. Not sure if the it's the cold or hormones.

Starving today @treacle! 😁 Just have a dull ache low down again and had a stitch like pain that only lasted for a few seconds.

Lauraliverpool · 13/10/2019 19:18

@Gigi318 I thought I'm going to give it a try and it's something I enjoy, looking to venture with selling what I make as I'm a stay at home mum and possibly looking into the body shop at home too. Got a cold, coughing feeling rubbish. I don't know what to do, I think I'm going to try and wait to see if af is late but don't know when to go by cause cycles for some reason have varied here and there by a couple of days, my boobs seem a bit more sore today than yesterday but then they seem sore from one period right through to the next. When are you planning to test?

Gurtie28 · 13/10/2019 19:05

Arghh the suspense is killing me - so all yesterday, through the night and this morning I have had terrible cramping. Woke me up twice last night and really thought AF had arrived early like last month. But now the cramping seems to have died down and still no sign of AF...not even a spot. I am sure I will get AF tomorrow if not later today, but then that little hopeful voice in my head keeps saying "implantation cramps" ....could it really be?
I am literally going to the loo every hour to see check - I think I've gone completely mad!!
I know I don't say much on here, but I really like to read all your posts, nice to know others out there are in the same boat!!

@Gigi318 I've got that too! I feel really swollen in my lower stomach.

Symphysis public dysfunction, basically your pelvis gets looser in pregnancy anyway but with some cases it's very achey and painful.

@Lauraliverpool that's amazing! How exciting and a lovely hobby to have! Cold as in cold temperature or having a cold?? All sounds good to me for 6DPO! Will you test 12DPO?

@Treaclepie19 yessss, starving today 😩 what's SPD?? I'm getting this odd bloating/stomach feeling and it's felt weird all day!!

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2019 17:54

So we're all in agreement about being hungry then!! 😂

I've got the worst ache in my stomach and hips still. If this is a pregnancy thing then it's looking like spd like with my ds1 🙈
If not then hopefully it'll get lost 😂

Lauraliverpool · 13/10/2019 17:28

Cold, sore boobs, backache and all I want to do is eat girl's, ahh half way through tww! Bought few more things for my jewellery/craft making going to do some of that to pass the time!

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 13:56

@Treaclepie19 I'm with you there girl! I'm just wanting sweet stuff today and we have NO chocolate in at all. I was trying to be good as it really ruins my skin. And now I'm 😩 but I'll be starting the roast later so yay (late one today is OH isn't back yet)!
Ooohhh that could be something. How exciting!

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2019 13:35

@Gigi318 yeah I'm going to cook something on plan... either a roast or a slimming world carbonara or something.
I've got proper meat aversion which is a pregnancy thing but saying that, I'm not a big meat eater anyway.
Chocolate is what I want... and lots of it!!

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 13:31

@Treaclepie19 OMG YES, that's such a good way to look at it, half way throughhhh!!!! What are you options? Do you have something healthy in?? I'm doing a roast chicken but really want something sweet right now! I know the feeling, I'm so hungry today!

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2019 13:26

I'm in such a grump today 😳😂
I just want some good news! Plus I'm hungry and tired with a poorly 4yo.
So tempted to just order something in but I really want to keep losing weight.
At least tomorrow I'll be half way through the tww!

Okay, so just checked my cervix and I couldn't overly tell if it was soft or firm. I don't do it enough to know the difference. It felt squishy but firm 🤷‍♀️ so who knows. It was open though, I think?! And (sorry if TMI for some) lots of milky white CM. So I hope that's a positive thing!

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 12:46

@gigi32 yes, I think lots of creamy white CM can be. But then it could also be normal post O. So hard to tell 🙈

@MsMiaWallace I want to. I think I might today actually. Although mine does tend to be high quite often. So I never really know. Hurrah, lips is good 🙌🏻

MsMiaWallace · 13/10/2019 12:14

Is anyone else checking their cervical position?
Mines like lips today?? Sorry if tmi

gigi32 · 13/10/2019 12:07

@Gigi318 yep 5dpo. Hey is CM a sign?

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 08:13

@Treaclepie19 exactly, that's so true! I said once with all the money we spend/could end up spending on tests an everything else, may as well buy an ultrasound machine 😂 yep, I'm ovulating today so let's DTD. Yep, I'm pregnant. And then check in on the little bean multiple times a day every so often!!!

@Treaclepie19 oh no chick, I hope he starts to get better soon. It's this weather, we're all getting poorly! That's good - you want to save that test for the right time. I will test on 15dpo (or 14dpo at the very, very earliest) if no sign of AF. I really can't get my head around testing early. I don't want to see a line disappear. So that keeps me strong! 💖

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2019 08:05

@Gigi318 we need a better system for this don't we. Like surely by now we should just be able to see inside and go yep, pregnant! 😂

Our little boy isn't well so that's keeping me busy. I know my husband doesn't want me to test until my period is due... and I only have one test so that will stop me caving early.

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 08:01

@Treaclepie19 know the feeling. I daren't read too much into anything as last month was either my mind wanting to feel that way or pre AF so will try to occupy myself for another 10 days 🙈

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2019 07:45

6dpo! IT'S SO SLOW 🙄😂

I've had achey hips and stomach but I reckon all my symptoms are actually just what happen before my period comes. So we will see.

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 06:47

Morning ladies, Happy Sunday!

@catsandkid I'm 5DPO today now too (one day behind most of you) and I've woken with a bit of cramping. Which is annoying, as I also don't want to symptom spot but it's impossible when you can feel it! Oh chick, hope you can get some rest today and have a big roast lunch with lots of veg! I'm going to test on the 23rd when AF due. Unless I feel really off before!

@gigi32 I felt like that last month chick, it really stressed me out. But this month I've chosen to be more relaxed and so far it's working. I'm a third of the way through now and only 10 days to go! Hopefully it will fly by! That's good, although at 8-10DPO I bet you will be like 👀 You're 5DPO too right?

gigi32 · 13/10/2019 03:05

Just realised my next fertile window is a long weekend! So 3 full days at home with dp to dtd!

gigi32 · 13/10/2019 00:42

@Gigi318 feeling normal also but with my dd I didn't feel anything till about dpo 8-10

gigi32 · 13/10/2019 00:38

Does anyone ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer lack of control through the tww?
