Anyone else starting 2WW today?

@LittleMrsMama Thank you for your words.

I'm pretty sure it is AF.
It is only spotting at the moment, but I am bloated like a giant balloon, grouchy, queasy, stomach cramps, etc. Which is exactly how I feel right before AF arrives.
I have really short periods: 36 hours of very light spotting (so light I don't need any products), then c. 36 hours of bleeding then it's over. 3 days and I'm done. I always hope AF arrives late evening/over night so I only have two suffer one daytime feeling like I'm going to die.
It may be short, but not sweet as the PMS is hideous.

But I have now booked to have my fertility bloods, etc. done this Friday as I was told some needed to be done days 2 to 5.

Well I'm out, AF has arrived now. Early.
I've had a few months where I've come on at 25 days recently after years of consistently being 30 days. Perhaps it is my age, I'm almost 39.

@Coastaldreamer
I'm not sure exactly as I don't track ovulation.
I had EWCM last Saturday night so I would guess I'm around 8-9 DPO.
I'm on CD 25 and have 29/30 day cycles most months.
The queasy feeling isn't abating. But I'm also a bit poorly with a cold, so I'm not sure how much my crap feeling is hormones and how much is the cold.

@pinkpirlie how many DPO are you ? I've been feeling like this with the pre AF symptoms but since I had DD I wasn't getting cramps before AF so this cycle I'm confused why I am. Also got thrush so maybe that's why I'm feeling extra crap!

Only 7 DPO I think so the waiting is killing me!

4dpo today and nothing to write home about apart from increased lotion cm yesterday which was new for me but still super early so not looking too much into it. AF due on 28th so still time yet.

@ali2021 thanks for the clarification

How's everyone doing as the weekend draws nearer?
I'm convinced I'm getting PMS symptoms so I'm thinking I'm out.
I've been feeling quite queasy, sore boobs, mardy, etc. All my usual symptoms leading up to AF arriving.

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️
I ovulated overnight on 11th/early morning 12th, so 4-5dpo today.
Cycle #7 to conceive #2... Cycle is between 31 and 38 days, so AF is due anytime from 24-30th 🤦🏻‍♀️ and I'm away for work then, joy!

@pinkpirlie sorry I should have clarified that about the exercise during TWW. Absolutely no need to stop! Just me being paranoid 🤣
I run competitively, so I do a lot of exercise each week between running and gymming! I have culled it the last few months which clearly hasn't helped me at all in TTC 🥴 And doctor said continue on as normal, so I'm going back to doing just that!

@MrsSamRowley I also seem to be exactly same as you. TTC #2 on the first cycle and AF due on 26th. I have an average cycle length of 31 days so hopefully this doesn't play tricks on my mind when I think I'm due

3 DPO and Used OPKs and had my peak on Monday. We followed the SMEP method so there was a lot of DTD. Poor DH!

Gosh it's so hard to remain relaxed! I feel like I was exactly when we were TTC #1, wondering how long and when it would happen! DS took around 7 proper cycles by the time I was in tune with tracking etc due to random cycle days

Who's going to test early

@LittleMrsMama we can try persuade each other not to rest too early so we aren't disappointed! (I say this now... hopefully next week goes quicker than this)

@pinkpirlie I am so sorry to hear about your pet being PTS, hope you are ok x

Welcome everyone!
I don't drink caffeine or much alcohol anyway, but I hadn't even considered stopping exercising was a thing...
Is it a thing?

Coming up to one week now into two 2WW and hoping next week will go quicker.

We lost one of our pets this week, he was PTS, and I could really do with some good news.

@AmberRH1993 ahh cycle buddies! Fingers crossed for BFPs for both of us!

Hi ladies, 2dpo, AF due on the 26th. Husband and I DTD every day leading up to and on the day of ovulation so fingers crossed but only 1st month of TTC baby number 2 so trying (and failing!) to be relaxed about it!

Hey everyone! Would love to join your tww train! I didn't use opk this month, so I ovulated at some point this week. On advice of doc, we're DTD every second day. It gets tedious 😆 AF due 26th or thereabouts! This will be our 8th cycle of TTC #1. Each month during tww, I have been altering my lifestyle - exercising less, drinking decaf, not drinking etc and I've decided to stop and just carry on as normal, as it makes the tww much longer! Wishing everyone BFPs!!

@LittleMrsMama I am due AF same date as you! We can motivate each other to try not test until atleast next weekend

@LittleMrsMama yeah I thought so. I don't drink but I'm a massive caffeine addict and struggling to cut down tbh! At the moment planning to wait for AF but in a week I might feel differently - 2ww is eternal!!

Are there advantages to testing early rather than waiting for AF?

Hi all, I'm on 1dpo today and the dreaded TWW begins - AF due on 27th Jan.
Cycle 2 TTC baby #2 as my son has just turned 2 himself. Hoping the 2 2 2 will be a good luck charm this cycle 😊
