Hello ladies!

I’ve been reading these threads (at all hours clearly!) I just wondered if anyone was currently in their 2WW and wanted to join me? It’s so long!! I’m ttc number 2, have a 4 year old son, fell first time with him luckily so certainly not expecting the same this time round. This is our first cycle. I’m only using an app not any ovulation sticks so not sure how many days po I am, but According to app fertile window ended yesterday. AF due 21st I only have 24/25 day cycles since coming off my pill.

Anywhoo no symptoms yet as too early! I’ve had ovulation cramps and a few nights of very intense dreams. I think the only symptoms I can remember pre bfp with my son was really really sore boobs, couldn’t bare a bra on!! And really tired.

Please people join me to symptom spot and keep each other company during the 2WW.

Hi ladies, how are you all doing? I have just started tracking again with CB advanced sticks so will see how this month goes! I’m on day 10 of cycle now.

Hello @Shaker21

so slowly creeping through the 2WW currently 3dpo but feels like 10! Still twitching around down there and nipples sore so I agree deffo progesterone gearing up!!

I agree about Ed, I don't think it’d change much! I don’t drink really anyway so if I did it would only be one (and I can be easily dissuaded by a big q for the bar) and realistically it won’t make any difference!! I will (try) and wait till Monday when AF due!

Welldone at remaining so relaxed and not tracking!!! The EWCM sounds promising! Everything crossed for you! Hopefully you’ve managed to catch the egg!! X

Morning @ANP2020 !

At 1/2DPO it is definitely progesterone increasing but that is also a good thing! Hopefully as the days go on it will turn into pregnancy related for you. It is a hard one with the Ed Sheeran concert at 8DPO and drinking. I think personally I would say don't test and to just go and enjoy yourself. There is so many people that don't know they are pregnant when not trying and still live their lives normally! You could do a test 8DPO and it be negative and still get positive at later DPO's. It just depends on you personally what you would feel more comfortable with. I don't like to test until AF is late or at most just before AF if I can't wait. If you test at 8DPO and it's negative will you still feel ok going out and drinking if there is a chance of a positive at 9DPO/10DPO?

I am doing good, still not tracking so don't know where I am at in my cycle. I would guess I am due to ovulate yesterday/today/tomorrow but not a clue. I had a small amount of EWCM on Thursday afternoon and quite a bit of it when I checked yesterday afternoon Sorry TMI This is probably the first cycle that I have noticed EWCM which makes me so happy because I didn't think I was getting it before and only ever noticed creamy and then nothing around ovulation time. So I am so so happy to see that yesterday. So going off of that makes me think ovulation is this weekend but not a clue when.

How is everyone else doing?

Everyone ok? So 1dpo well 2 now because it’s past midnight! Feeling a bit different like heavy down there like AF about to start and occasional cramps! And boobs sore!! WTF it’s impossible to be feeling anything pregnancy related! So wether it’s just the progesterone increasing! Gosh I hate the 2WW ALREADY going mad 1 day in! Save my sanity ladies!

Really said I wouldn’t test early but going to see Ed Sheeran on the 3rd I’ll be 8dpo, tempted to test then just so I know about drinking! But it’ll likely be bfn due to been so early and I hate the rubbish feeling that comes with that! But already feel so tempted don’t know how I wont be able to cave haha!!

@Hjudge56 thats an awful feeling isn’t it when your so sure it’s your month and you just feel it’s happened! Only to see that blank test! I’m holding out hope for you that AF doesn’t arrive on Monday.

my OH is sure this month is our month as “he can feel it in his bones” I’m trying to not get my hopes up as much this month to anything!

@Shaker21 ill be honest I really thought this month was the month because I have had a lot of symptoms. I also feel similarly to last month where I did conceive but ended in chemical so was hoping as the feelings are the same it would be a sticky one! But guess we just never really usually know!

11DPO and AF is due Monday!

Annapolis35 · 26/05/2022 14:10

@ANP2020 Yeah I’m thinking that my body is properly clearing out so think it’s a good thing. Also means my lining might have built up a lot last month which can only be good. No nothing different really I think, apart from vitamins and will do OPK to try and track. I ovulate pretty late (day 17 or 18) so will see if mc has changed anything! But it is exciting to try again.

that sounds like you’ve got a good shot and given it a good go!! Fingers crossed this cycle!

Shaker21 · 26/05/2022 13:50

@ANP2020 That LH test looked very positive. My first month of doing the Easy@Home tests my peak number was only 0.68 I think and they tend to only change to peak once you have a test which they recognize as lower as the one before. By the sounds of it from your last post you got your peak yesterday anyway which is good 😃Think I should be due to ovulate either tomorrow or Saturday, obviously not testing so not totally sure, only going off of other months and when I had my scan Sunday and the size of my biggest follicle it seemed most likely them days so we won't be far off of same DPO days as each other.

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing Is nice to now have the positive show up on the digital to have that bit of reassurance! What did your GP say yesterday morning?

@Hjudge56 So sorry about the BFN this morning, I feel like I could see the really faint line on the picture you sent over so was feeling really hopeful for you! How many DPO are you now? How long till AF should arrive? There is still time...

ANP2020 · 26/05/2022 12:56

@Annapolis35 that sounds a bit positive maybe? Abit delayed following Mc so your bodies just getting back ready for this cycle!! Not long now till you’ll be in your fertile window! U trying anything new this month?

@Hjudge56 im sorry about BFN! Hopefully you might get something in a few days! Your not out till AF! Was it FMU?

so I ovulated yesterday or today! Peak registered as yesterDay morning so we dtd 24th, 25th will again today then think we’ll have a day off tomorrow! Really hope it happens for us this month but getting quite used to the bfns now

Hjudge56 · 26/05/2022 09:37

BFN for me this morning on FRER ladies following a Vvvv faint line yesterday morning

11DPO today so I think I’m out!

Annapolis35 · 26/05/2022 08:01

@Jholli Yeah unfortunately they are the same. I had all my normal AF symptoms before a BFP so is very difficult to tell. Just gotta wait it out and see unfortunately. Wishing you luck!

Annapolis35 · 26/05/2022 08:00

@Hjudge56 i see a very faint line!

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing thats excellent! Good to see that and hope you feel reassured.

I am day 5 of unusually and v heavy AF, thought first proper one after mc might be like this. Gearing up to next cycle of TTC once this is over!

@Hjudge56 Happy Birthday for yesterday!! Hope you had a lovely day! So I can see a vvvvfl when I zoom in so your not seeing things 🤞🤞darker in the am!

@Jholli unfortunatley AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are so similar! But your not out till AF arrives

Jholli · 25/05/2022 22:20

Have tested though & BFN

Jholli · 25/05/2022 22:19

At the end of the 2ww and was due on yesterday! I’m getting all the period symptoms but nothing has shown up! Would you have period symptoms if you were pregnant I’m so confused RN!!!

Hjudge56 · 25/05/2022 12:25

Hey Ladies

Decided not to test yesterday as it was my birthday so today is 10 DPO and I think I may have a got an absolute squinter this morning on FRER 🙊. Could be an evap but I will say I think I see pink in it (always so difficult to photograph and send on here isn’t it!) but the fact it’s so hard to photograph makes it question it tbh. Please let me know what you think!?

Annapolis35 · 25/05/2022 09:03

That might be because your hormones surge at different times of the day? When I was pregnant I used to wake very very early and thought it was because of that. In hindsight, I should’ve realized I was having a mmc due to my boobs stopping hurting and other symptoms disappearing. Was just hoping for the best I guess. Hope the GP brings good news

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing it looks darker than yesterday but I’m not sure about the control line either, I didn’t know that. But as the lines are getting darker I hope that is promising. Hopefully your gp can do some blood tests to check it’s all ok.

ANP2020 · 25/05/2022 07:16

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing thankyou! I thought so, I wonder if my app hasn’t registered it as the peak as it’s my first cycle using them?

that looks good today, darker than yesterdays to me on the photo. I don’t think my FRER first time ever got darker than the control line. When are you due to see GP? Hopefully she’ll check via blood test.
