I’m now 3dpo and trying to feel positive. My OPK peak times up with when I had EWCM and I’m sure I had some ovulation pain on Thursday. I’ve never realised it before now but I nearly always have a pain for a few hours in between AF’s so guess I nearly always have it but never paid any attention to what is was or why. Even though the timings all line up I still have a fear that I ovulated much later and missed dtd at the right time. I know it’s irrational 😂

@Angie2018 positive and patient is a good thing to aim for! So much easier said than done 🙈but you’ve made it through another day, just take it one day at a time at the moment. It’s all we can do. And definitely think of what you could treat yourself if (and I really hope she doesn’t!) AF arrives xx

@allgoodthings84 it really does seem like something messed with your cycle doesn’t it. I know what you mean though, the GP doesn’t seem to care at all, I have a friend that’s been TTC 18 months but because she has a child already they’re not interested. It’s so sad. You’re right though it could also be stress, stress does some awful things to the body and I think we underestimate how many of our physical symptoms are caused by stress! It’s a vicious cycle. You just want to know either way don’t you at this point 😔

Just been catching up ladies, I think a lot of us are really feeling it today. sending you all a big hug 🥰

So, to continue the ‘let’s do something nice for ourselves’, because, well, we deserve it, I’m going to suggest we each do something for us tomorrow, as tomorrow will be hard given it’s still a bit early for testing….I will go first - tomorrow, I am going to take 10 minutes in the garden with a cuppa and just listen to the birds. I know it sounds silly, but my brain is constantly overthinking things and this may help me relax. Xx

Tubbytele · 27/06/2022 21:34

@allgoodthings84 Thank you! I have my fingers crossed for you too. If this month doesn't work out and I think I remember you mentioned about going away next month so won't be able to do next month, it would be good just to keep track of ovulation just for data. Or just give yourself a break next month and see how the following month goes for you :)

allgoodthings84 · 27/06/2022 21:26

@Tubbytele fingers crossed that second one was the real surge

I don’t think it is implantation is same thing happened last cycle and it’s been going on since 9dpo (now 11dpo) which is the exact same stage as last month

OP posts:
Tubbytele · 27/06/2022 21:19

@allgoodthings84 it still could be implantation bleeding so don't count yourself out yet

Tubbytele · 27/06/2022 21:16

I'm so worried that I didn't ovulate this month because of having 2 static smiley on the CB test so many days apart

allgoodthings84 · 27/06/2022 21:15

@Cdoc yep last cycle too but before that my spotting only started day or day and a half before AF! So it’s really irritating. Looks like I have a good LP but doubt the spotting helps even though it’s mega light. The nurse who did my last cervical screening and the GP have told me in the past that spotting before AF is fine so until we have been trying 6 months I don’t think they will take me seriously especially as I’ve had a child already. Probably won’t even take me seriously then but I think they have to do something after 6 months? It’s only been 1 cycle actually ttc but 2 cycles with this weird spotting from 9dpo each time. Last cycle was even weirder as I ovulated late so AF was 5 days late at least this time I’m on track to still come on at the right time as I ovulated at a normal time so hopefully next month things will be even better. I was so regular before. Maybe I’m stressing myself or something

@Angie2018 ahh I know how you feel! It's incredible how much mental and emotional consumption this 2ww takes. Do something special for yourself tomorrow to give yourself a break if you can. Staying away from googling is so hard though so I totally get you.

Angie2018 · 27/06/2022 21:12

@Cdoc yeah I think you are right, I never give myself a break and it's not good! I do just want it so much I become irrational 🙈

Hopefully tomorrow is easier... I'm going to give myself a good talking to tonight and force myself to just be positive and patient tomorrow!!

That's a really good thing actually I will treat myself too if she comes haha! Also want the weekend now!! Just want to know one way or another xx

Cdoc · 27/06/2022 21:05

@Angie2018 ah you definitely need to go easier on yourself. You want it so much so of course you are going to obsess over it. I think if we want to wallow we should be allowed! Let’s just hope tomorrow is a better day xx I am just counting down until the weekend already to be honest! Saw someone else post somewhere that every time AF arrives they treat themselves to something, so trying to think what I could treat myself too if it does.

@Tubbytele it’s dragging so much isn’t it! It is, every twinge, every scratchy throat, even every fart I’m convinced is pregnancy related. We just need to know either way 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Cdoc · 27/06/2022 21:02

@allgoodthings84 so this is how it happened with you last month too? So frustrating, I’m not surprised the one time you actually want AF to arrive and she is taking her time! How many days did it last for last time?

Angie2018 · 27/06/2022 21:01

@Tubbytele I'm fed up of it tbh.... 😫

Tubbytele · 27/06/2022 20:54

Angie2018 · 27/06/2022 20:50

It's soooo hard isn't it! I am swaying from no signs are a good sign to a millimetre on my right tit hurts could I be? Or is that a bad sign! Just draining this TWW 🤦🏽‍♀️

This is so me!

Angie2018 · 27/06/2022 20:53

allgoodthings84 · 27/06/2022 20:45

I can’t wait for you to all test!

@Angie2018 I'm laughing so hard at your Google comments but secretly mine is the same 😂

@Cdoc no change here ha ha. Just spotting as and when but only when wiping nothing on a liner. There’s definitely watery pink and blood inside though if I wash my hands carefully and slightly put a finger tip in then I get watery stuff that looks colourless on my finger but when I wipe onto a tissue you can see the watery blood colour so definitely still spotting just not enough for it to drip out. I think pretty much the same as this point last cycle. I just want AF here now so I have a chance next cycle to ttc! First time I’ve been wanting it to hurry up in my life 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's so hard right. I mean. I'm obsessing, and over thinking so what do I do? Use Google to fuel my obsession! I just need to let it go but can't 😫

Tubbytele · 27/06/2022 20:52

@Cdoc this 2ww is so long! Definitely agree that having this group along this journey makes such a difference. Trying not to symptom spot but it's so difficult not to. Every little feeling is a question of is this the month or isn't it! Sending you a hug from here and excited for your Wednesday test!

Angie2018 · 27/06/2022 20:52

@Cdoc ah thank hun! I'm trying to get over myself and my stupidity this evening. How are you? Given pups lots of love. Xx

Angie2018 · 27/06/2022 20:50

CinderellaFant · 27/06/2022 20:15

Been feeling pretty down today as I'm cramping and definitely feel like AF is on her way. However just had a shower and the water jets on my nipples literally felt like someone was sticking needles in them which is a good sign I think...so now I don't know what to think! Why's this so hard!!

@Leavesstartingtoturn we ovulated same day! I had a static smiley on CB Sunday too but that was my 2nd smiley after getting one on the Tuesday before so I'm not sure if I've ovulated this month. Will only know once AF decides to show up or not.

Cdoc · 27/06/2022 20:41

@CinderellaFant it is😔mind goes into overdrive and picks up on absolutely everything. Have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@Tubbytele not doing too badly, feeling quite flat, these 11 days have absolutely dragged, but grateful to have this group to understand how it feels. How are you feeling?

Tubbytele · 27/06/2022 20:38

Hi everyone, how are you all doing?

@calipoppy I'm so sorry what you went through. Sending you hugs from here. Wishing you a really positive month.

CinderellaFant · 27/06/2022 20:28

@Cdoc 11 days PO now, going to test on Wednesday or Thursday morning. Hate this waiting game. ☹️

Cdoc · 27/06/2022 20:25

Oooh @OCM19 I am so excited for you to test! Will be thinking of you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Angie2018 sorry you’re feeling so down today, it’s so hard and so up and down. Give your pups a big hug tonight ♥️I feel like they know when we need extra comfort.
Exactly like @OCM19 I know we get invested so quickly. I think the mmc last month has terrified me of getting ahead of myself again, but it’s so hard when you want something so much. I keep planning how far gone I’ll be at certain events which is just asking for trouble 😔

@allgoodthings84 how are you feeling now?

I’ll test Wednesday I think, will be 13dpo by then and have a 2 pack of FRERs ready.

@CinderellaFant how many dpo are you now? Cramping can definitely mean so many things so don’t count yourself out yet! It is so hard, we’re second guessing every single symptom 🙈

I feel like we all need a big hug today!xx

Cdoc · 27/06/2022 20:18

Welcome @calipoppy ♥️I’m so sorry for your loss, sending you lots of positive vibes for this month
