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.

Hello!!!

Well I definitely welcome the company!! It’s so hard and unknown isn’t it! I wish we could just have a clearer way of knowing when we ovulate Espesh with PCOS and irregular cycles!!

Fingers crossed for us all we get a BFP! So my AF is due 21st! I’m not actually sure what day I ovulated as I used Ovia app for tracking and friend to go off CM which has proved fruitless this month as I’m still getting it now!! So it’s been all over too! I’ve had some cramps in pelvic region but I don’t know if I have them every month and just been switched off to them! Prodding my boobs everyday 🤦🏽‍♀️ But no soreness haha!

@smiles39 I fell first cycle with my first one, was really lucky! I did an FRER 5 days before my AF and got a positive so I’ll be doing the same again! But it’s hard not to get addicted to testing haha! But I don’t think I’ll be able to hold out till the 21st!! I know what u mean about the CP and sometimes I envy the people that don’t find out they’re pregnant till 6 weeks gone as they miss that CP risk! But me personally I can’t resist! Maybe test early if you have symptoms? If not wait for AF?

@smiles39 - yep I hear you on that one. I remember before I found out I had PCOS I had 2 false positives followed by a neg and then it becomes all you think about. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@ANP2020 @D0nd361u I’ll join you! CD15, AF due on 23rd Feb, so in my TWW. This is my 1st cycle trying for #1 and I have no idea what to expect or what to look out for so would really like to have people to symptom spot with.

What’s your opinions on taking FRER before AF is due? I’m going on holiday the week of AF and I don’t know whether to test before I go or wait until I get back, I think I would ruin the holiday if I got a BFN during it. My concerns are that if turns out to be a CP then I would start the holiday on cloud nine but come crashing down if AF arrives. But I also feel like I can’t wait to test 😂

Hey 🙋‍♀️
This is also my first cycle. I have no idea where I am in my cycle as I have PCOS and irregular cycles, however last 3 have been 28days. If this cycle is the same then I'm on day 21 and in my 2ww. Makes it difficult for me to use an app or sticks. Stopped the contraceptive patch over a year ago in prep, tried tracking temp but this was all over the place and CM tracking only helps some months so its just a go with the flow and see what happens situation for me.

Anyways... I believe my symptoms with my last was the same, sore boobs and implantation bleed. Think everything else came after bfp.

I know my wait may be a little different to yours but I'm happy to keep ya company 😁
