Anyone want to join me in the 2WW?

I think I ovulated yesterday. I had been using the clearblue digital ovulation tests, but ran out of test sticks on Tuesday, which is typical! I did have EWCM Monday until yesterday and this morning it seems to have turned sticky. I also got pains in my left lower belly yesterday, so the signs all point to yesterday as ovulation day.

Unfortunately we didn't dtd yesterday as me and DH both have covid... last time we dtd was Sunday night, so I'm already at a disadvantage this month, but still hoping, and I'll still be getting excited about everything little twinge or symptom that I feel over the next 2 weeks!

This is my 4th cycle TTC, we already have DD who's 14 months. Fingers crossed and baby dust everywhere!

@Pitstop1986 9DPO is still early, have you had any symptoms? I'm 6dpo and have cramping but I feel like it's period pains and AF letting me know she's en route 😩

Pitstop1986 · 27/03/2023 12:34

@Lollywhite welcome! How are you today? Any further updates? Does seem strange!

I'm 9dpo and cracked and tested this morning... stark white negative! Oh well, it's still early yet, it could turn into something over the next day or two

Hi everyone

please may I join? TTC number 2, cycle 10!

was using clearblue advanced OPK 6/3 and 7/3 were low fertility then 8/3 (CD10) I got my peak with no high fertility…
we dtd etc, then a few days later at CD16 I noticed EWCM so decided to test again had 2 days of low fertility then on 16/3 (CD18) I got another static face…

not quite sure what is going on but we DTD again, for next couple of days.. 5 days after my peak I’ve noticed brown watery discharge sorry tmi, then what looked like brown CM this lasted 3/4 days (no other signs etc)

I have tested but this has came back as BFN however I’m now 10 DPO from second peak..

has anyone else experienced this? I’m really not sure what is going on xx

LolaStanley1 · 26/03/2023 12:49

Morning, can I join? I’m due AF on 28/3 according to 2 of my apps, Apple Watch has predicted 11/4 for some reason.

Im on cycle 2 of TTC number 2. So far (and the same last time) LH tests don’t work for me, never get a peak. I try check my cervix but has anybody else noticed if you DTD your cervix is always soft and open? I try track CM but this month I haven’t seen much EWCM unless it’s a day after DTD?? My BBT is all over the place as i BF my son at night still so am always waking after a few hours.

do you all early test?

Williams3001 · 26/03/2023 12:30

@Pitstop1986 We’ve got the Clear Blue strips to start, while I figure out how it works, then the plan is to get some cheaper ones (if the next cycle isn’t a success) once we’ve got the hang of it. I just got the Flo app, too, so it will be interesting to see how they correlate as I’ve heard it’s pretty accurate. Is temping checking basal temperature? I’ve been noting it but not really sure what to do with it.

NavigatingLife · 26/03/2023 11:36

I'm at 7DPO today, haven't had any potential symptoms but still get a bit of ache in around where I think my right ovary might be.. hoping its not anything too concerning at this point. I'm going away with work tonight and I promised DH I would take a test when with him so we find out anything together so it will be 11DPO before I'm back - hoping the next few days go quickly!

@Pitstop1986 how's your tww going?

Pitstop1986 · 26/03/2023 09:43

I'm so sorry to hear this @Williams3001 Are you going to be doing temping, ovulation strips or both? Good luck for next cycle!

Williams3001 · 26/03/2023 08:46

AF arrived this morning so I’m out. I haven’t been tracking ovulation yet, so going to give the strips a try this cycle 🤞🏻.

Pitstop1986 · 26/03/2023 08:28

Good morning! How are we all getting on?

LittleWings22 · 24/03/2023 17:42

Glad im not the only one getting them & yes they surprised me too as i thought you got them late pregnancy!!!

Wow its so easy done but also so expensive if you doing branded each time!!

Williams3001 · 24/03/2023 17:34

@LittleWings22 I just had a bout of fanny daggers. Soo confusing, as I thought they were just supposed to be in late pregnancy (or at least it was with my first!). AF due Sunday and going to test on Monday so I don’t second-guess if I get a BFN (I did this the first month of TTC and blew through 9 tests 🤦🏼‍♀️).

LittleWings22 · 24/03/2023 12:46

@Polkadotfloral hopefully sickness doesnt affect you too much. Its nice having a little secret for a while. Is this your first?

Polkadotfloral · 24/03/2023 09:48

@LittleWings22 thank you! I'm feeling okay thanks, just a bit tired and I'm feeling ever so slightly queasy. Hoping I don't get bad morning sickness!

I'm not sure about telling people yet, it still doesn't feel real at the moment!

LittleWings22 · 24/03/2023 08:18

@Polkadotfloral im so happy to hear that!! Now the worrying stage begins for you, the first 12 weeks are so hard as there can be lots of little pains as things grow. How are you feeling? Will you tell anyone yet?

Thank you fingers crossed!!

Polkadotfloral · 24/03/2023 07:32

@LittleWings22 thank you! The spotting finally stopped last night and now I'm cautiously letting myself believe it's real. Took another test this morning and it also looked positive too. 😊

I think this means I'd be due on 30th November. ❤️

I hope AF stays away and you get your BFP in the next few days x

Angelselevenx · 24/03/2023 07:28

@NavigatingLife that could play a part, do you take it the second you wake up before snoozing etc?

It's moved my O day to CD22 annoyingly which means I didn't DTD on the day 😖 going to try not to stress and just see if AF comes next Saturday

2WW AF due 29th March
LittleWings22 · 24/03/2023 07:13

@Polkadotfloral congrats!!! Thats a definite line, the spotting is likely to be implantation/your womb settling and the fact its watery would suggest its mixed with alot of discharge (which is shocking during pregnancy more so at the start!) so it looks like there is more than what there maybe is.

I tested this morning with FMP and got a BFN but im not out until AF arrives or i get the BFP. Ive also had this morning and if you have had children before you may know about, fanny daggers! If you dont its a shooting pain up the fanny. Which isnt normal for me?!

I had also thought about a dec baby and the fact i would be recovering over xmas (id be having a section) but when you want a baby all that seems to go out the window.

NavigatingLife · 23/03/2023 22:44

@Angelselevenx last AF for me was 27th Feb. My temps were wild at the start, not sure I was taking it correctly 🙈 so overall from the chart my dip yesterday to today of 0.1 is nothing really!! Don't know how much I should trust it all tbh - I live in a really old (and sometimes cold) house which might be why typically all my temps are below 36?! Too confusing 😵‍💫 maybe I'm just a cold person haha

2WW AF due 29th March
Angelselevenx · 23/03/2023 19:10

@NavigatingLife oh perfect okay, how long are your periods? My last AF was on 01/03, ovulation CD20 and now 2dpo eeek.

Did it, do you have any photos of your graph? X

NavigatingLife · 23/03/2023 18:42

@Angelselevenx my app is saying 4DPO! Peak OPK on Sat with ovulation Sunday it seems...?! My temp dipped slightly this morning which worried me but trying not to think about it too much

Angelselevenx · 23/03/2023 14:03

@NavigatingLife yes please!! You must be 2DPO also? I'm definitely symptom spotting as I know it's way way to early and nothing would've even happened yet but I'm so tired I feel like I need an afternoon nap 😂

NavigatingLife · 23/03/2023 12:41

@Angelselevenx snap! We can hold each other accountable to not test too early hahaha!

@Pitstop1986 I had some pain and cramping 1DPO near where I think my right ovary is (why is it not obvious where exactly that is on any diagrams?!) then last last night and today that pain has returned - bit of a jabbing like pain?! Also had bad heartburn last night but putting it down to eating a big pizza for dinner and accidently falling asleep whilst reading an hour later 🤣 any symptoms with you?

Polkadotfloral · 23/03/2023 11:20

@Pitstop1986 thank you! I still can't believe it - I'm still spotting so am feeling v anxious about it all. I'm going to buy some more tests in my lunch break and keep monitoring it over the next week or so.

Just wish the spotting would stop so I could feel less anxious about it!

Pitstop1986 · 23/03/2023 10:16

@Polkadotfloral congratulations! The spotting must have been implantation bleeding! I bet you can hardly believe it after thinking that you're out!

I'm 5dpo today. The need to test is strong! I'm sure that I get worse every month! Haha I won't test until minimum 10dpo so I've got a long 5 days of waiting.

How's everyone else? Noticing any symptoms?
