The dreaded two week wait has begun. A little summary- Ive got PCOS and very delayed period so been on letrozole and was given the trigger shot this month. I did get pregnant on first round of letrozole in May but sadly ended with mc. Im currently 2dpo and need people to get through it with as we all know it can DRAGGGGG! whos with me!!

@weddingpanicomicron

Please can I join? Tried using ovulation sticks but I must ovulate earlier as I haven't got a positive one. AF due Friday 19th but not holding out much hope for this month!
Yeah sure, everyone is welcome😘 did you get any signs of ovulation? x

hey to all the new people😘 I hated using opks especially with pcos as it gives false positives🙃 I tried temping the last time I got my bfp but it is honestly so much effort and most the time i forget😅

@Twofortheshow I am the exact same, I would forget to do it and I think it would stress me out.

Also fell with my DS really quickly we said we would see what happened and I was pregnant I hadn’t even thought about it that month so wasn’t looking out for anything. I now feel I am super conscious of any pain, twitch or change in my body - very draining x

Twofortheshow · 06/12/2021 20:12

I’ve read tracking your body temp is most accurate but honestly don’t have the patience for it lol.
Let’s keep each other updated here. With my first I definitely knew during the TWW. Got strange symptoms I don’t get any other time, so I’ll be looking out for those

Hopefullywaiting01234 · 06/12/2021 20:05

@Twofortheshow I know I got 3 days of low (circle) then 1 flashing smiley then a static. The twice I had used the strips before I got about 5/6 days of flashing smileys! Tbh the full thing is a total nightmare!

Twofortheshow · 06/12/2021 19:59

Yes exactly and also how do you know you’ve not already ovulated but your LH is still high.
Fingers crossed for all of us this month

Hopefullywaiting01234 · 06/12/2021 19:46

@Twofortheshow I know what you mean about OPK as how do you know when you actually ovulate after a positive 🤷🏼‍♀️

Theneverendingcleaningcycle · 06/12/2021 19:39

I keep telling myself not to stress and that stress will most likely not help!
I conceived my DD really quickly but that was 7 years ago now. I don't remember being this anxious before 🙈

Twofortheshow · 06/12/2021 19:01

Joining as well. Tried timing this with OPKs. Did the same last month and nothing. Hoping this month I’ve got the timing right but I’m not so sure. I’ve read OPKs are not hugely accurate and I also read a lot of conflicting info on when you should have BD in relation to a positive OPK test

Theneverendingcleaningcycle · 06/12/2021 17:56

Can I join. I'm also just started the TWW. I'm sure it's not worked just have a feeling. We've been trying for awhile but not actively calculating anything (ovulationetc) this is the first month doing that and I'm so stressed.

Geemmm · 06/12/2021 17:44

Thank you @Flowerpot564 - sorry to hear of ur MC too ❤️! Hopefully this month will bring us our happy ending 🥰.

Yep this is baby no.1 for me too. Have you been TTC long?

@Bambi11

Sending baby dust to you *@Hopefullywaiting01234* *@Hopefullywaiting01234* I’m on 9 DOP if I’ve worked it out right. Been trying for 5 months. Been having acupuncture which I believe has set my cycle to 29 days.

I feel the same, people who aren’t even trying are getting pregnant and can’t help but feel frustrated

baby dust to you✨ i really hope we all get the news we want this month, would be the most amazing end to a terrible year x

@Hopefullywaiting01234 I started properly trying last november but realised with my periods being late im going to need some help as I didnt know when i was ovulating. this is now my 9th cycle and I feel exactly the same. I said this is my last time trying then im going to take a few months break as mentally it can get toooo much😔
