2WW! Anyone else?

@DancingGiraffe 9dpo is so early to test! Chill girl!! Oh wow you've had results early!! This is the worst things with different apps they always say different times for AF. So annoying right? It’s strange you’ve been feeling sick. I think let’s meet in the middle wait 5 days, if AF doesn’t come then do a test again!!

I’m ok. A bit weirded out tbh. I’m 7DPO apparently. But it looks like I had a LH surge peak on CD 9 so I’m thinking I ovulated too early and I’m out anyway!? Feeling fine, me and hubby haven’t DTD as much as we have previously so don’t know. Don’t feel sick, just feel normal. Had a couple of abdominal cramps but nothing to stop me and think what’s that. Chest is a tiny tiny bit sore but I know that’s due to gym haha so yeah. I think I’m out this month tbh. I deffo don’t have that feeling ffs!!!!!

How’s everyone doing and feeling? X

Hey @DancingGiraffe tell me about it! Work has been insane! Oh wow really. Fingers crossed!!! I’m not sure how many dpo I am. I usually don’t go onto the app until I think oh my period should be here in a few days because I don’t want to do a countdown on my head or start Googling symptoms at 5 dpo hahahaha. But I feel good and normal haha. This month has been weird me and hubby haven’t DTD as much as we have the other months. Just because we’ve been so busy and because we’ve been going out and socialising before we get put back in lockdown. So it’s a weird month.

@Oh wow that’s news to me! Sounds unreasonable but I’m not a medic professional so won’t judge! Hopefully it won’t happen again and you won’t need to worry about it!

Ahh yeah insanity is tough. They do say though strenuous exercise can sometimes affect implantation and there’s other things linked which I read so it’s the safest option. I’m such a gym bunny so I’ve tried to calm my training down this month so let’s see what happens.

Hahahaha I tried to take a chilled approach this month but maybe it was too chill and we haven’t done it enough. Hubby has been a bit stressed about it this month though. But I’m telling him not to stress!!

@DancingGiraffe 3 MC? That’s a bit extreme? I thought if you have one you just pop to the docs. Docs make it really hard don’t they these days!

Yeah I can imagine - it must suck the fun out of it. It’s hard to go through I can imagine. That’s good that docs have said early scan - maybe they can help to identify why this happened and help so it doesn’t happen again. How strenuous was your exercise before? Oh gosh this is hard. Who doesn’t love a cheeky wine!! Especially when TTC it’s fun to have a wine!!

Yeah these days it just turns into anticipation doesn’t it! I think we should have DTD yesterday I think it was probably OV day but hubby was just too tired. We tried and it just didn’t happen so that’s a bummer. We could have really done with doing it yesterday. We did on Monday and then Friday but feel like we definitleh haven’t done enough this time. Not holding my hopes high this time!!

Hey @DancingGiraffe I’m so sorry to hear that you miscarried. Have you got an appointment with the doc? Hopefully it is nothing to major or the doc can get to the bottom of it and then you can move forward. I hope you are ok.

Ha the TWW comes so quickly!! How you finding it this time? I had a peak yesterday on OPK so not quite in the TWW yet but yeah just trying to go with the flow. Fingers crossed this is our month this time!

I caved today and tested a few minutes ago with a frer test and it came up negative ☹️ meh.

AF hasn't reared her ugly head yet so hopefully not out of the running yet but not entirely sure as AF has been weird since my MC had 2 cycles within 2 weeks of the other last month. I have had some symptoms like achy boobs, light cramps but nothing like normal cramps in the past few weeks so I'll wait into next week and if she doesn't come I'll retest maybe next weekend.

@DancingGiraffe I have managed to hold off so far! Only a few more days to wait 😂 it's killing me but it's worth waiting I think! I so have the early test kits that I can use pre AF but I'm worried if I test now I'll get a negative and pop my current bubble of potential happyness.

And agreed it's so easy to get stressed over it as we want it so bad, I'm a bit of a stress ball myself but trying to not stress is difficult!

@Feedyourzen have to admit I haven't been doing yoga, last time I tried it I didn't enjoy it (not very flexible tbh) but working from home does distract the temptations to test! Only 2 more days to the weekend though!

@AKcheer oh hun sorry to hear that, it does happen though. I think because we are all trying so hard to conceive it becomes stressful and seems like it is taking ages to actually happen. You will get there hun, don't stress yourself out and worry.

Hey guys. Congratulations to all you guys who have got your BFP! So exciting for you all!

Sadly I won’t be joining you. My BFP has arrived :(. So sad. Not too sure what I’m doing wrong. This was my 2nd month TTC and I thought we nailed it. I even used the opks. I just don’t know but I’m so worried now :( x

Thank you all ♥️

Oh congratulations @Jigglypuff88 that is a beautiful line and you must be so excited! So happy for you :))

@DancingGiraffe yes how are you feeling today? I have heard so many great reviews on the frer I think I just need a whole drawer full of them for those moments of testing madness! SMEP is sperm meets egg plan (i know it sounds funny!) It is a guide telling you to BD on cd8 and every other day until opk positive , test opk on cd10 and every day until positive and then BD on that day and the day after.

@Rundle90 fingers crossed for you!!! I don't know if you are trying already but I found doing yoga for the tww (googled on youtube) helped to calm me from having obsessive thoughts about testing.

I had a phone consultation with my acupuncturist today and she felt that my spleen was weak so putting me on some herbal treatment to help nourish the spleen and hopefully regulate my periods also. Roll on cd 8 so I can try again! X

@Feedyourzen sorry to hear that ☹️ but as already said atleast your cycles are back to normal so fingers crossed for next month!!

@Jigglypuff88 oh massive congratulations!! So exciting! Sending lots of sticky baby dust your way!!

@DancingGiraffe I'm not sure my willpower is lasting I may have accidentally fallen into Amazon and ordered some early pregnancy tests... So now I will have three 😂 one is a clear blue digital one that gives the weeks and the others I just ordered are the regular line ones. I'll try and hold off to this weekend and test then, or if my willpower lasts and af hasn't come sat or sun I will test Monday as technically Saturday is when she's due but hoping not!

Sorry I missed your news @DancingGiraffe - congratulations! Hope you have a lovely pregnancy :)

Yes frer are definitely the best I think. It’s worth splashing out on them.

I must be about 12-13 dpo I reckon. Completely negative £1 strip tests on cd27 and today I am cd30.

Got my fingers crossed for everyone getting a bfp soon. I can’t believe it tbh. I had a traumatic mc before my first baby so hope this one sticks!

Good lord, had a very bfp on a frer. Been feeling weird all week. I usually feel a bit nauseous before my period but had mild nausea for days. Different to my last pregnancy as boobs aren’t that sore.
