1DPO - Anyone want to join for the 2WW?

Afternoon!

So I caved this morning and tested at 10DPO again! It was negative but it’s still early so trying to keep the hope alive! I’ll see what the next few days bring anyway, AF is due on Sunday.

Sorry I can’t really help with the Covid jab question @K8Tee as I had my first dose back in December and my second in February (I’m a nurse) so it was before I started TTC! I was concerned about it as I was thinking about TTC and the Pfizer had only just been approved and at the time the advice was to wait a few months before getting pregnant but in the end I felt the benefits of the vaccine out weighed the risks as I knew I could become seriously ill if I did catch Covid - I also have a medical condition which puts me in the vulnerable group and was shielding for a while due to some medication I was on. But I think it’s such a personal decision! I know the advice has changed now and they are saying even pregnant women can get it as the benefits outweigh the risks. I know I felt much happier and more comfortable once I was fully vaccinated and I’m glad I got it before pregnancy as I think that would have been a hard decision!

I like your plan @taytay2020!

@K8Tee I plan to start testing Sunday unless things change either way. I'm curious how antsy I'll be by then haha!

@K8Tee I have just booked my vaccine, deliberately aiming for what I think will be a few days into my next period. This is just for my own peace of mind though - I'd rather just be hoping for successful fertilisation & implantation over the next couple of weeks without the extra worry of vaccine side-effects. Then whether I get a bfp or not, I think I'll keep the appointment. I definitely don't want to get covid and I don't want the extra worry of not being vaccinated when I have to go to busy places for work.

Thanks @Bundaberg84, will definitely mention it when there as well.

@dogmom0930 you pretty much summed up my feeling about it right there. And also if we got it and got very poorly with it, would that be more of a risk. Neither are perfect scenarios but as long as we know what we're doing its all we can do. Ps really sorry sorry about your chemical I didnt even know they were a thing until joining mumsnet, crazy hoe common it is and how little it is spoken about X

Thanks for your advice girls x

Ps when will you be testing? Clearblue says I can test from Friday but I going to wait until Saturday fmu I think to make sure I have the best chance of seeing it if we have been successful.

Forgot to tag you @K8Tee 😊

I had the Johnson and Johnson before my previous cycle. Since it was after my chemical, I thought it was a good time for it because my cycle would be messed up anyway. I ended up ovulating a few days later and then proceeded as normal. I blame that change on the CP though. I also had a friend get 1 dose, then she found out she was pregnant and got the second dose and is progressing normally. She had been TTC for 18 months when this happened too.

I weighed the difference between possible fertility issues vs peace of mind. I chose peace of mind thinking that the stress of not being vaccinated could also stress me to the point of having trouble TTC.

@K8Tee the only negative thing I heard in terms of TTC is that it might affect your cycle, as in your ovulation will be later than normal. But since you're already past ovulation I think you should be fine. But I'm no doctor, I would issue your concerns at the appointment.

That's a good sign for you fingers crossed!

Haha I feel like I have symptoms every month yet 5 months later here I am 🤣 I feel a bit crampy and under the weather but I've got a sore throat so probably just that playing tricks on me 🙈

Feeling the same @K8Tee at 7 DPO! Haha! Any "symptoms"? I've been having super light cramping the last few days. I'm not sure what to pin that too.

Hey ladies, me again. Just wondering what people who are planning to have the covid vaccine under normal circumstances are thinking about having it in our current ttc boat? I had my text and am booked in for Saturday for dose 1 by which time I'll be 11 dpo I think so a test could or couldn't show at that stage. . . I know it was advised not to have it before but now it says you can have it so just wondered what people's thoughts were around it?

Suddenly starting to get itchy feet to test now. 9/10 dpo. Must stop myself 🤣🙈

Glad all is going welly @IzzT

That's great @IzzT
Glad all is well.
I'm so exited to hear how you are doing and hope I will be on the pregnancy bus with you soon

@IzzT that's fantastic so pleased all is going well for you xx

@IzzT Great news to hear! 😊

@IzzT Fantastic! Glad it's all going well

@K8Tee and @taytay2020 I have my fingers crossed for you for BFP so you don't have to delay!! But, I'm a firm believer that everything happens at the right time even if we can't see why it might be right in the moment 😊

6 DPO today. Feeling twinges that I don't think are symptoms but my brain REALLY wants them to be haha! I suppose time will tell 😉

I'm hoping to join you all in the tww wait tomorrow! Got my peak on premom yesterday (3.27?!) so that was exciting - thanks again for your help @IzzT this has definitely been better for tracking than the one step or cb opks I used before.

.

I'm in a similar boat to you @K8Tee - our wedding reception should've been last year but now it's next June. If we don't conceive within the next two cycles we'll have to call it quits until next January - I won't mind being pg at the party but I don't want to be in labour or be so huge I can't dance! Here's hoping you don't have to wait until October 22! 🤞

@80sPadme fingers crossed! 🤞 it's nice to have some people to go through the journey with x

@80sPadme I think these 2 weeks ARE 2 years! I swear I got more white hair than before

@dogmom0930 and @K8Tee we are all around the same dpo, hoping for a result for all of us.
@JuniperAndTonic keep holding out till days 11/12, challenge yourself to beat last months 10 day fold.
Anyone else keep strong and positive. These two weeks feel like 10 years but we got this!!!!!

Hey @JuniperAndTonic all good here thanks. 5 weeks today and have my midwife app for end of June. Panicking that it's all going to go wrong but I've been reassured this is normal 🙈. I think I need to stop reading the CP/MMC threads on here for my own sanity.

I'm sure you could totally make it work with a baby (or babies 🤭) in a flat. Best of luck for the TWW 🤞

@K8Tee it certainly is, yes 😆

@Bundaberg84 oh no, 3 more days ish til i lose my chill then 🤣🙈 its hard not to get obsessed though isn't it x
