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 🤞

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm 5 dpo now (or 4 depending on which app I believe)! I can honestly say I've never felt less pregnant in my life 😂 no cm, no cramps, no sore boobs... tempted to have a gin 😂😂

Fireplacedreamer · 23/01/2021 19:16

@SSH27 we are renovating too. Been here just over 2years and all the main building work is done but still bedrooms and hallway to decorate. Been so many hold ups with lockdown

@Lizzie1302 aww that's lovely news! Congrats on the birth of your niece!

@AbiBrown I did the same. Thought I would be chilled but actually I'm really not but it's the only thing I can 'Control' to a certain extent well hopefully anyway lol

@mrsgtobe97 I'm 9dpo and I'm soo tempted to test but trying to hold out. Its soo hard!

mrsgtobe97 · 23/01/2021 18:50

I'm officially 1dpo and already over this tww 😅 absolutely determined to wait until about 12/13DPO before testing, I don't think my nerves could take any "is it a line is it an indent", but I know I'll crack come 5dpo I'll be testing 🙃

AbiBrown · 23/01/2021 18:44

How's everyone doing?? I'm 4 dpo and I can see from my app we dtd twice in the fertile week. And for you ladies who like symptom spotting, I've had sore boobs but around the middle not the sides and I remember that being a pregnancy symptom. I actually had that with my daughter. I've also had weird tingly hot flushes during the night... No idea if that's a thing. But now I'm also freakin out a bit as I was on the fence and feel I've gone into ttc irrationally to feel a bit more in control of my life c during this pandemic. I love our easy lives with my daughter, she's so great, she sleeps like a dream and I didn't have siblings so am a bit scared about that reality. I like coming on here as it keeps me excited about it.

Lizzie1302 · 23/01/2021 15:42

My sister has just given birth to a gorgeous little girly - she's adorable! makes me even more broody! Hope we all get to experience this soon enough xx

bcrvmama · 23/01/2021 11:45

@SSH27 I'm also spending all the money decorating the house and we moved in here a year ago! We have a stay at home order where I live right now, so online shopping for anything and everything has been my past time!

Planning your wedding??

bcrvmama · 23/01/2021 11:11

Thank you!!!! I'm still in disbelief. I don't think it'll hit me until I take my digital test on the day af is due! But yes, dreams do seem to come true 😭

Sending ALL the positive vibes your way ladies!! 🤞🤞

Lizzie1302 · 23/01/2021 10:19

@bcrvmama huge congratulations that is amazing so so happy for you!!
My partner doesn't believe in testing before af he didn't understand how hard it is 😂so ive made him hide my tests until tomorrow as I believe that is when I'm due on
And @ssh27 that's so exciting! I work 13 hour days so that's the only way I'm able to stop my self going insane with poas and symptom spotting haha

SSH27 · 23/01/2021 09:55

@bcrvmama Omg!!! I'm so excited for you, congratulations 🥰 You lucky sod, massively excited for you hun! Also I'm not testing until 1st as would be 13DPO Xx

@Lizzie1302 I love a bit of symptom spotting! And keep your head up hun, this is such a tough journey for us but I'm sending you lots of virtual hugs!

@glow92 Don't worry hun I'm only on 4dpo so we both have a long way to go! Let's wait together 🤞

@RHODXB I agree with you! I find a negative test is actually more heartbreaking than AF!

Welcome all the newcomers! And what is everyone doing to pass the time during this TWW? We've moved house, so currently I'm spending lots of money decorating and trying to plan for a wedding that may not take place!

Fireplacedreamer · 23/01/2021 09:47

@bcrvmama omg! That is amazing! I am so happy for you.. dreams really do come true!😍😊

bcrvmama · 23/01/2021 09:34

@Fireplacedreamer @rhodxb Thank you!!
It's my first and it was through IUI. My boyfriend had a vasectomy a long time before we met. We decided to do iui with a donor. And this was my first cycle!

bcrvmama · 23/01/2021 09:32

@Lizzie1302 try not to get too discouraged until AF. I just watched some YouTube videos about line progression and many of the ladies showed how they didn't get their BFP until 12 or 13 dpo!

RHODXB · 23/01/2021 09:31

@bcrvmama sorry if you answered already and I missed it but what cycle is this for you?? X

@bcrvmama yay! How exciting! Congratulations 🎉

bcrvmama · 23/01/2021 08:26

Hi!! I got another faint second line but darker than yesterday's. I'm in disbelief!

Lizzie1302 · 23/01/2021 07:02

@rhodxb thank you I'm hoping anyways! I'm at work atm and feeling sick as anything so somethings definitely happening whether it's af or not and yes I think testing early is worse but I'm so inpatient!

RHODXB · 23/01/2021 06:57

I do wonder sometimes if getting the negative result a few days before period is actually more upsetting than just waiting to get AF? But I just can't help myself testing!

OP posts:
RHODXB · 23/01/2021 06:56

Keeping everything crossed for you @bcrvmama 🤞

OP posts:
RHODXB · 23/01/2021 06:55

@Lizzie1302 you're not out til you're out Smile some ppl don't get their BFP until after AF is due! When I had my daughter I had a very Early BFP and lots of cramping a few days later: it was so bad I went to the EPU and they took a preg test and told me I wasn't preg as it wasn't showing on test for them. They said either no preg or early miscarriage and sent me away to come back and have my HCG rechecked a few days later. It had shot up in that time! So goes to show it's really hit and miss with early tests!!

@glow92 @SSH27 @RHODXB ✨I couldn't help but wonder✨.... will this be our month?

Love this!

OP posts:
RHODXB · 23/01/2021 06:46

Wow didn't get on yesterday and so many new joiners! Wishing everyone good luck this month SmileI got positive OPK CD 13 and DTD that night but didn't Manage to DTD again Cd14 when I'm sure I ovulated (pain) so just hoping that doesn't count me out!

OP posts:
Lizzie1302 · 22/01/2021 22:22

Also I think i got my af dates wrong I could possibly be starting on the 24th not the 26rh xx

Lizzie1302 · 22/01/2021 22:21

@bcrvmama no new symptoms for me today! Feeling down in the dumps to be honestwish I'd never tested this morning just to see the bfn, but onwards and upwards. I had a bit of a uti earlier which was weird lasted about 3 hours running to toilet urge to wee but haven't had it since x

Fireplacedreamer · 22/01/2021 21:35

@bcrvmamaF not due till Thursday so going to try to wait till then but I didn't make waiting last month so it's unlikely I will be this patient 😂

When are you testing from?
