Starting my 2ww today would anyone like to join me?

I got a positive opk yesterday morning and by last night it was gone
Ovulated on day 20/21 think I ovulated during the night as yesterday I had mild cramping in ovary area and today nothing

Hope people join in with me and we can do it together

@maggiegary the same thing happened to me with DD, chemicals first and second month and sticky bean on the 3rd month, she’s now 2 :)

Hi all!
Ttc number 1. Third month of trying, I got pregnant both months so far, but both ended up being chemical pregnancies.
I don't track or anything but according to flo app I'm 7dpo today.
I'm trying so hard to not symptom spot this month and to try and hold out testing till I'm due on. But saying that, I have just have a massive wave of dizziness and I honestly thought I was going to pass out.

Curlywurly3 · 29/10/2021 11:58

Hi Ladies, TTC #2 either 5 or 6DPO. Hoping we all get out BFP’s this month 🤞🏻

@Babyghirl sorry to hear about your miscarriages. Did you get tested? Are you on any meds now to prevent further losses?

Babyghirl · 29/10/2021 11:25

Hi can I join I'm about 5 or 6 dpo norm ovulate on cd11/12.
Ttc num 1 for 3 years but have had 4 miscarriages and 1 cp hoping next one is a sticky one.

Sunshine085 · 29/10/2021 11:07

@giftswap2020 as I had a cycle without ovulation, my cycle was longer I never got a proper positive opk and I had a mid cycle bleed. That was while I was not TTC but was checking my temperature everyday. So wouldnt worry too much about it if I were you.

@Gemma3439 sorry to hear your not well. Hope your feeling better soon.

Gemma3439 · 29/10/2021 09:21

It hadn't occurred to be that maybe I didn't ovulate, but I did get a positive ovulation test?

I've been TTC for 3 months, which I know isn't long, it feels like it!Sad

Tested this morning, (I know, I know I'd only be 8dpo) and of course negative.

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 23:11

Thank you @Hoping43. Good luck to you too.

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 23:05

@Sunshine085 good luck!! Keep us posted x

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 22:58

@Hoping43 wow, wish I had some of your willpower for not testing. I cant help myself, would already test but thankfully I am aware that this would be pointless right now. Planning on testing on monday.

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 22:52

@Sunshine085 I don’t test…. With my other two, I didn’t test until after the length of my longest ever cycle. How about you? X

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 22:40

@Hoping43 so true different for everyone but also for every pregnancy. I am also 5dpo and also think I am already out cause I have no symptoms whatsoever. But realistically implantation has not happened yet and therefore pregnancy symptoms arent around yet. So try not to get too sad about it just yet. When are you planning on testing?

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 22:29

@Sunshine085 it seems to be so different for everyone. Some people seem to get pregnant easily but miscarry as you said and others go for months and months with no sign of a positive test.

I had a small break down tonight. 5 DPO and I already think it hasn’t happened but not even sure if it’s possible to know at this stage! So strange that I don’t have any breast tenderness this month. Every other month I have 🤯🤯🤯

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 22:20

@Hoping43 it took 10 months. Was pregnant nearly every months of it so. Crazy I got pregnant easy enough but could not hold on to it.

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 22:16

@Sunshine085 how long did it take for you to conceive your first child?

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 22:05

@Hoping43 thank you, I hope so too.
Totally understand how you would have expected to get pregnant quickly again with your 2nd. Just the way I am expecting another miscarriage again (but hoping I will be proven wrong). I am with you on thinking that I would be more relaxed this time around but the second I was in my tww I wanted to start testing Hmm.

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 21:58

I had my youngest in August 2019 so he’s just over 2 and we started TTC again in April so when he was 20 months old. I found it tough last time. I think I naively went into it thinking it would take a month like it did with my first so I just completely worked myself up when it was taking longer. I thought I would be more chill this time but turns out that’s not the case at all 😳.

Sorry to read about your previous miscarriages. I hope you have an easier time this time around

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 21:51

@Hoping43 that definitely sounds like a regular cycle. I think most of us who are ttc are anxious and worried about something not being right with every passing months that was unsuccessful. The fact that you have 2 kids already shows that your body knows what to do. Try not to worry too much (i know easier said then done). How old is your youngest?

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 21:41

Hi! My periods are between 28-31 days. Is this classed as regular?! I have two children. One took a month to conceive, the second took eight months. I’m now on my seventh month of TTC my third and final baby. I have massive anxiety issues and just can’t help but worry that there’s a problem 😞. I just can’t cope very well with uncertainty and the unexplained I don’t think

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 21:23

@giftswap2020 do you remember if you had any symptoms during your two with your first pregnancy? Have you been ttc baby 2 long?

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 21:20

@Hoping43 do you usually have regular periods? If so I wouldnt worry about not having ovulated. When will you test? Is this your first months of TTC?

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 21:15

@giftswap2020 so strange. I’m 5 DPO and I normally get sore boobs immediately and not had them. I’m wondering if I haven’t ovulated though rather than it being a positive sign although I did a positive OPK. The TWW is too much!!

Gemma3439 · 28/10/2021 21:14

@moonpie32 I know :(

Welcome @giftswap2020

I am symptom spotting like mad but so far there is nothing. I already feel like I am out even so it's normal to not have any symptoms that early.
