Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

Aww sorry to hear that @cbear1989

How are you today @cdn298 ?

I'm symptom spotting like mad... Still getting a flashing face on my opk (I'm testing just for the fun of it, or just in case I ovulate a week late?!) Boobs are feeling heavy today. I'm CD 23 and I'm guessing 4/5 dpo, if I did O. Way too early to be feeling any real pregnancy symptoms so probably all in my head.

How's everyone else getting on in their 2WW?

Sending love @cbear1989

cbear1989 · 29/12/2022 06:20

14dpo and still bfn for me, not hopeful for a late positive so I'd say I'm out.

good luck to everyone else xxx

LAgeDeRaisin · 29/12/2022 06:16

8dpo and bfn

pennysays · 28/12/2022 23:14

7 dpo here. Symptoms exactly the same as all my non pregnant cycles (two years of tracking 😔) . I have sore boobs,
mild cramping and mood swings. Also the symptoms of my first pregnancy. So…. 🤷🏻‍♀️

LAgeDeRaisin · 28/12/2022 19:39

7dpo.... 2nd BFN. I know it's too early but for some reason I just feel this isn't the month. I have a chest infection and full of cold and can't imagine any blastocyst being enticed to bed down in my cess pit of germs.

LAgeDeRaisin · 28/12/2022 19:33

@cdn298 strange- hope not too heavy and you're ok

cdn298 · 28/12/2022 16:51

I have had red blood today at 5dpo. God knows what's going on!! I never get spotting between periods 🤷‍♀️

Hi all completely new to this but hoping some people are in my situation. Day 10 DPO ( had a positive LH test bang on predicition this month) AF due on 30th but have had faintly positive LH tests since 24th December that are getting stronger each day negative test on early preg response so dont want to get my hopes up with the LH test as i know you can get a surge pre AF but i havent any other month also have had a headache and tiredness for a week.... the 2ww is just awful :(

Alysskea · 27/12/2022 22:11

Testing in 2 days @Pitstop1986 not had any symptoms other than boob pain. I have this weird feeling that my period could start soon. Though I haven’t started spotting yet and am on CD24 so sort of list hoping it doesn’t start. Don’t know if I can do any more disappointment as I hate this time of year already!

cbear1989 · 27/12/2022 21:31

@Pitstop1986 bless you, always nice to hear stories like yours so i guess you never know! My trouble is partly that I don't have periods on my own, only when i take Provera so im not sure when af would actually be due. I've been very emotional the last couple of days but that could well just be the stress of it all over crimbo 😂🙈

Will keep testing though and see what happens i guess... fingers crossed for us all!♥♥

Pitstop1986 · 27/12/2022 21:18

I don't want to give you false hope @cbear1989 but with my DD I tested negative the day before AF was due. I tested again about 5/6 days later as AF hadn't arrived then and got a positive then!

Sending you lots of hugs

cbear1989 · 27/12/2022 20:09

I'm pretty sure im out, 12dpo and still negative :( this process sucks so much!!

sending lots of luck for everyone still waiting x

cdn298 · 27/12/2022 13:49

@LAgeDeRaisin I'm usually the same 🤦‍♀️ it's only because we're away for Christmas that I'm not 🤣

OP posts:
LAgeDeRaisin · 27/12/2022 13:21

6dpo and first BFN. Anyone else this ridiculous?!

Emmamoo89 · 27/12/2022 11:25

I won't be testing at all well only if miss period. Less disappointing that way. How's everyone getting on? X

Pitstop1986 · 27/12/2022 11:16

I'm due my period on the 7th, so we'll be testing around the same time!

I'm trying to hold out until Wednesday at least, although I'm not sure that I ovulated this month. My opk still shows a flashy smiley, but I was expecting to ovulate Christmas Eve/Day so I either missed the LH or didn't get one...

DH jokes that it doesn't matter, he "banged me so well, there's definitely a baby in there" 😂😂😂

cdn298 · 27/12/2022 10:31

@Pitstop1986 I thought so too but I'm sure I had it quite early with DS.
I'm going to try and wait until the 7th but knowing me I'll probably test a few days before x

OP posts:
Pitstop1986 · 27/12/2022 10:29

Fingers crossed @cdn298 although I thought implantation happened a bit later than 4dpo? I could be wrong though!

When do you think that you'll test?

cdn298 · 27/12/2022 10:22

I'm 4dpo today and have had some very light brown spotting. 🤞🏻 it's implantation bleeding!!

MexicanDrinkingWorm · 26/12/2022 19:52

Think I’m the same as you OP! My sons almost 2 and period due around the 8th of Jan, bit the bullet and decided to start trying for number 2 this month.
My cycles have shrunk down to only 22-24 days since coming off the pill so not 100% on the day period is due though which is annoying.
just using my period app to track roughly when ovulation is for now, it said yesterday but feeling more symptoms of it today so will have to try again later.
good luck everyone and sorry to those of you having a hard time with it xx

cbear1989 · 26/12/2022 19:35

Hope it's okay to join! I'm currently 11dpo and going crazy...

I haven't had much luck in my journey so far so it's pretty tough. I have done 4 rounds of Clomid and a failed letrozole. Have had a constant issue with a very thin womb lining and haven't had a natural period since coming off the pill in June 21.

Frustratingly, this time around everything looks good. I did my trigger shot and bloods showed a strong result for ovulation and my womb lining got to 9mm and looked so healthy... but I'm not convinced that we've been lucky enough this time. I've been testing out my trigger shot so have been getting positives but the line is getting fainter rather than going the other way.

I now have my surgery date for 25th Jan to have my womb lining checked and my tubes. I so wanted to be lucky this time and not have to have it!

This is all so hard isn't it... sending positive lucky vibes to everyone else riding the tww wave xxx

LAgeDeRaisin · 26/12/2022 19:19

Getting so impatient. The Christmas guests have gone along with the distractions and now it just feels like forever til it's time to test!

5dpo today too.

pennysays · 26/12/2022 10:13

Hi everyone

5dpo here. Been trying for over two years now. Taking it all very cautiously. Burning hope deep down though.

Downtherabbithole83 · 25/12/2022 21:00

Would love to join you as I think I should have ovulated today as I got my LH peak yesterday.

This is my first month ttc after my previous pregnancy ended at 14 weeks in November so quite the mix of emotions here! Determined not to test unless I have clear symptoms - have deliberately not bought any tests yet.
