Hey all! Wondered if anyone wants to survive the 2ww with me! The other boards move so fast I haven't been on for a week or so and can't catch up!
I am TTc second baby. DD just turned 9!!! 3rd month trying properly and used OPk for the first time this month. Last cycle was only 23 days but got a smiley face yesterday on cycle day 13 and DTD CR 8, 10, 12, 13 and hopefully tonight too! Fingers crossed 🤞

@Fireplacedreamer same here! Woke up twice in the night and I can still remember what happened now whereas usually by the morning I don't remember anything. I don't know why I tested at 6DPO as I knew it would be nothing but I did it anyway .. no self control 🤣🤣

Fireplacedreamer · 25/01/2021 13:17

@emilyylouise ahh that gives me so much hope!I don't normally even remember my dreams but the last two nights have been vivid, weird and I remember them!

I soo badly want to test but also know I will be disappointed with a negative so I'm clutching on to hope for as long as I can lol

emilyylouise · 25/01/2021 13:09

@Fireplacedreamer
Yes I has seen it on other threads and I also looked it up and apparently it's quite common! 😀

Fireplacedreamer · 25/01/2021 13:07

@emilyylouise are vivid dreams a symptom? I haven't heard that but had really vivid weird dreams the last 2 nights. I'm 11dpo.. trying not to test but its soo hard to be patient!

@Fifi1086 ah no! Next month 🤞 how early were you?

Hope everyone is okay at 11dpo I have some symptoms - sore boobs, tired but taking ages to fall asleep, heavy feeling in my lower belly
but I'm also quite irritable which is normal for AF arriving Sad I'm hoping I'm not out again this month!

mrsgtobe97 · 25/01/2021 12:52

@Fifi1086

AF arrived early, back to cd1 for me!
How many dpo are you? It might just be an implantation bleed it's very early for a period?
Fifi1086 · 25/01/2021 12:19

[quote RHODXB]@mrsgtobe97 I am 4DPO ovulation and absolutely exhausted today! I'm working from home and have had to come for an afternoon nap/lie down which I never do! I know it's too early to be symptoms though so putting it down to hormones! [/quote]
I'm 3DPO today so only a day behind you ☺️ yeah I've felt so exhausted also, maybe it's the hormones? Hoping it's a good sign 🤞🏼 I can't remember feeling this tired last cycle when I wasn't pregnant though Hmm last cycle I had heartburn and sore boobs which I don't have any of this time which is weird!

mrsgtobe97 · 25/01/2021 11:39

[quote Fifi1086]@mrsgtobe97 thanks so much for responding! Yeah I have a ct scan on Tuesday which will be 8dpo so I might test then as I won't be able to get the scan if it shows up positive, not expecting it to that early but will try again 10dpo 🙈 I hope I'm not getting my hopes up for no reason [/quote]
Good luck with the CT! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

emilyylouise · 25/01/2021 11:37

Hey everyone

I'm 6DPO today.. I caved and took a test when I knew it would be negative 🤣 don't know why I do it to myself.
Been having mad dreams the past couple of nights which I've read could be a early symptom. Also got a metallic taste which is making all my favourite things taste off 🙈😫

@Fifi1086

Hey everyone! So I'm either 5 or 6dpo today and I just had some spotting, more like pinky tinged cm but with specks in it. Is this too early for implantation? I so hope it's that and not AF making an early appearance, although I was sooo grumpy yday so could be her the witch 😭
I would definitely think pink spotting around 6DPO is implantation bleeding 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 maybe test around 10/11dpo ?
mrsgtobe97 · 24/01/2021 20:07

2dpo today and sooo tired 😅 had to have a sleep this afternoon which I never do. last cycle when I definitely wasn't pregnant (didn't DTD when ovulating) I got sore boobs and heartburn but this cycle I don't have anything at all. So weird how it changes between cycles 🙈

mrsgtobe97 · 24/01/2021 20:05

@glow92

I don't want to get into a habit early testing but I'm curious to know - how many DPO would you and with what brand of test?
I think the earliest I would do it would be maybe 10 or 11dpo and with a first response early results or a 10miu cheapy strip!
Fireplacedreamer · 24/01/2021 18:38

@glow92 it does become very expensive! Gotta try not to use them unless late but easier said than done.

Ha! Ours will hit 3 years for inside with a combo of delays due to lockdown and lack of money 😂

You are right though, at least I have 2 things to obsess to spread it out. Ha!

glow92 · 24/01/2021 18:26

@Fireplacedreamer I do have a few test but they're no-cheapies so I don't want to waste them to be disappointed!

Just jumping in on your renovations chat, finally finished after nearly 3 years (could have a year but we got lazy), never thought I'd say but I wish I had more jobs to do!! Would make lockdown and TWW much quicker!

Fireplacedreamer · 24/01/2021 18:16

@ssh27 probably about another year to finish inside. Then worry about outside after that.

@glow92 I'm interested in this too. I say every month I will not test before AF is due and I give in at 12dpo/13dpo everytime. I always get sainsburys cheap ones and they are always negative 😔

glow92 · 24/01/2021 17:28

@Penguinmumma fingers crossed for you! What a great gift that would be! I'm 3
DPO today and feeling super impatient!!!

@Lizzie1302 13 hour days?! My goodness! And congratulations on the birth of your niece! Seeing all the babies does make me really broody too.

@bcrvmama Yeah my wedding was supposed to happen in January but then was moved to April and to be honest not holding out much hope. But neither are planning to leave so it is what it is.

But the decorating is coming along nicely! Who would have thought that I had such expensive taste!

@Fireplacedreamer That is a big project! When are you thinking it will be complete? Yeah the big C has made everything extra slow.

@glow92 I have to remind myself not to test because I'm so early on but it feels like an absolute age. Why is the TWW so slow?

Welcome to all the newcomers again! And let's hope we don't all go POAS crazy during this TWW!

glow92 · 24/01/2021 11:33

4DPO, feeling like 400 😩.

Penguinmumma · 24/01/2021 10:42

@RHODXB joining you guys in the tww! Well, 10 day wait for me a my crap cycles 🤦🏻‍♀️
Af due 4th feb which is hubby’s birthday so fingers crossed for positive test as a pressie!

Lizzie1302 · 24/01/2021 10:13

@fifi1086 that's not a bad thing! Sometimes people say it's the month where the felt nothing that they got their BFP! Fingers crossed
Well my Af is due today (for the past 4 months I've had a 27 day cycle). Tested this morning BFN so just waiting on it to start
