Two week wait anyone?

Anyone else currently in TWW? I’m 4dpo and anxiously waiting until I can test.

I am currently trying to conceive my 3rd baby. I have 2 girls who are 6 and 8. And I’m desperately hoping they to see a positive test
My periods have been very irregular for the past year or so. But got a positive ovulation test on Sunday morning and have done BD with hubby last Wed, Saturday night and Monday night.
🤞🤞

Im also anxious because as ridiculous as it sounds I’ve had 2 online readings from 2 different psychics last month, one said I would conceive in November and give birth in August and one said September and December would be important months. Now I can’t get it out of my head that I won’t convince until the end of the year (if that even happens) 🙈🙈

I had no problems conceiving my first two girls 6 and 8 years ago, happen on first try both times so I am desperately hoping it will be the same this time. I am 30 now so still young.

sorry for the long read! X

@JumpinJellyfish our timings are identical this month, dpo and dtd days 😂

TicklishDreamer · 13/04/2024 16:44

i think I’m gonna test no earlier than 14DPO! I really try to hold out till day my period due!

@JumpinJellyfish its taken my cycle ages to get back to normal! Last month was first one and symptoms where so different so I’m not thinking anything could be a sign anymore!

going to really distract myself with loads of activities for the little one till it’s time for AF! Poor thing will be exhausted 🤣

JumpinJellyfish · 13/04/2024 16:21

Hi all can I join?

@Aisling1010 Im also ttc dc3 - kids are 3.5 and almost 6. And @TicklishDreamer I am in almost the same boat as you - mc in Feb at 8.5 weeks. I actually conceived that one accidentally - hadn’t planned on more kids - but we were over the moon and then devastated by the mc which made us realise we wanted to try.

This was my first proper cycle since the mc - got my period pretty much 4 weeks to the day of it. I wasn’t tracking ovulation with opks but based on my cm I think I ovulated on weds this week which was cd 19 for me. I normally ovulate day 16 so a little later - I guess because of the mc. If that’s right we dtd o-2, o-1 and o day so not sure we could have done any thing more!

So I’m 3dpo today and hoping for the best!

hopeful117 · 13/04/2024 16:01

@SummerSun24 welcome, hopefully we can all keep eachother sane during this 2ww. I'm 9 dpo today

hopeful117 · 13/04/2024 16:00

@RainbowCrocs at 5DPO you are not in or out it's impossible as soooo early so try distract yourself a date sounds fab, keep busy ❤️

I would love to say for sure I won't test until Fri/Sat and stick to my guns, hopefully I don't give in before then! Due AF Thurs or Fri

SummerSun24 · 13/04/2024 15:18

Can I join! Part of another TTC thread but I think everyone else is pretty much out for the month so feeling lonely.

TTC no2 cycle no 2 for us but cycle no 1 I completely missed ovulation week due to irregularly long period! Also very few chances then to dtd due to terrible sleep at the time from DC1.

This time I've done is based on the app again but this is based on a ~30 day cycle so if another long one like last time I maybe have missed fertile window again 😩 but did dtd ALOT more this time 😂 usually try to base off CM but mine is all over the spot since having DC1 and also find the erm 'left overs' 🙈 from dtd really similar and therefore confusing!!

Could be anywhere from 10dpo to 3dpo depending on cycle length 😬 so will test back end of next week.

Well done to anyone who has managed to read this far 😂

RainbowCrocs · 13/04/2024 15:06

@hopeful117 when are you going to test? Ive got everything crossed for you!

I’m 5dpo and honestly I’m losing my marbles - had a brief cry earlier that I’m out this month. Then the other half was like “babe we’re only 5 SER aren’t we?”

SER

Since egg released apparently 😂 it completely set me off laughing so I was crying and laughing all at the same time.

We’re going out on a date now to try and distract me.

hopeful117 · 13/04/2024 14:49

I feel good! Had some cramping this morning but it's gone now. At this stage I have no idea whether I'm in or out 😂 how about you?

RainbowCrocs · 13/04/2024 14:09

@Aisling1010 that’s such a good idea actually. I know if it’s a BFN it will throw me for the entire day too.

How you feeling today?

hopeful117 · 13/04/2024 12:28

That's a good idea, as it can effect the whole day if you get a bfn in the morning! I have really promised myself not to test until after AF is due, it's so hard but I just can't see any more negs! I managed last month and determined not to test this month either x

9 dpo today, have some cramping this morning which is a little early for me! AF due Thurs/fri - staying well away from tests for my sanity 😂❤️

Good idea!! I planned to use early response test on Thursday morning when I’d be 10dpo but if it’s Neg I’d be upset and couldn’t focus at work! So I might wait until 12dpo on Saturday so il have weekend to recover if it’s negative!

morning ladies! How’s everyone feeling today?

So I’m thinking 5dpo today. I had been using the digital smiley ovulation tests and 6 days of flashing smileys and got peak smiley on Sunday morning. Tested again on Monday morning and had strong dark line on ovulation strip, tested again later Monday and the line was getting fainter. So sounds like ovulation day was Sunday night/ Monday?

My symptoms today are nothing out of the ordinary. I read yesterday some people say they have very vivid dreams during TWW before getting their positive. And I woke up early hours to go to bathroom and realised I haven’t had any vivid dreams. Then went to sleep for another hour and the most crazy vivid dreams in that hour 🤣🤣

hopeful117 · 13/04/2024 11:31

Thank you ❤️
Really would love it to be my month but nothing different so far, I could be a bit less moody than I would be at this stage in my cycle 😂 but that's about it. Cramping today which is a little early for me, due AF on Thursday/friday.

How about you?
I have started taking my temp last 2 cycles does anyone else chart? X

I’ve purposely not bought any yet because I would be wasting them already haha. My Amazon basket is ready to go though, so I’ve said I will order on Monday, waste one when they arrive on Tues then probably test properly on Thursday.

So what I mean is that I will be testing non-stop from them arriving on Tuesday! 😂 you?

Haha!! Yip sounds about right! It’s hard to resist when they are infront of you! I have one early response test (clear and simple brand) that I bought along with my ovulation tests few weeks ago so I plan to test on Thursday when I will be about 10dpo. If I don’t give in before then!!

Hello! I’m 3 or more likely 4dpo today. I’m trying for no.2, and our DD is 21 months.

We’ve been trying since last July, and have had 1 bfp in that time, which was sadly anembryonic. Thankfully we caught it early and I had surgery in December. I’m 41 with a history of recurrent miscarriage so I was expecting a rough ride, but last time I conceived on 4 of the 5 cycles we tried before DD stuck so this does feel different. The TWW is still too long though!

Hi! Sorry to hear you’ve had a hard time of it!
I really hope this is your month for baby number 2!
the TWW really is painfully long 🙈 every hour feels like a week 😅

4dpo too! And honestly I am going absolutely crazy - I just don’t know how to think about anything else 🙈. My partner has just said to me “isn’t it flying” erm no, no it isn’t. The last four days have definitely lasted six weeks…
