Hi all 👋🏻

I'm currently 3dpo.. wondering if anyone else is roughly the same and doing the 2ww?! I haaaaate waiting. It feels like a punishment 🤣 just hoping for someone to go through this with!

@candyflossxox I'm the same. I feel like if I start testing early, as this is my first cycle if it doesn't work I'll do the same next month, and the next.

@CrazyKJ I think I'm due on about the 26th so a couple of days later than you. I hate the wait and just want to know whether I am or not, but don't want to test early. I think I'd rather wait and see if AF arrives or not, than face the disappointment of a negative test.

@Wednesdayonline I actually just found a pack of ovulation tests in the cupboard too, back from 2023 🤣 I haven't used them this time but if this month isn't the one then maybe next time! I don't think I really have anything before/around/after ovulation, not that I've ever noticed anyway. Do you think you not having that this time could me you are pregnant?

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate LH is luteinising hormone (or something)! It's what the pee stick ovulation tests measure :) rises just before ovulation. Tmi but I usually have sore nipples right after ovulation but this time nothing!

Hello! I’m not 100% sure but think I’m likely around 5 or 6dpo. AF is due on the 24th. Don’t want to test early if I can help myself but it’s so tempting 🙈

candyflossxox · 15/03/2025 18:15

I will try try try not to test early, I had chemical in January so try not to test early. But I have got a box of cheap tests. Il try hold off till like 10dpo maybe lol. It’s hard not too. But I don’t wanna be obsessed every month lol. AF due 24th doesn’t seem far away but just hate the not knowing

@candyflossxox do you think you will test early? I found a spare pregnancy test this morning, in the bathroom cupboard from my CP back in 2023, so that's dangerous 🤣 I didn't think I had any in! I know it's obviously pointless testing as early as I am. AF is only due around the 26th I think.

@candyflossxox you are right! I'm thinking every little thing is a sign and it's awful! I have little pains, like really light period pains, that I swear I don't normally have but it's nowhere near AF being due!

@Wednesdayonline welcome! Glad yo have some people to wait with! What is LH? Only just getting used to all the lingo 🙈 I've only really noticed ovulation symptoms (and by that I mean taking note of changes in CM) last cycle, and we weren't TTC then.

Same I have little aches and pains too. My 3rd cycle trying but I done ovulation tests this time. I was going my Flo app before. I try keeping busy for the two weeks but it still doesn’t control my thoughts 😂

Can I join? I'm potentially 1/2dpo but my body has been sooo strange this month, none of my usual ovulation symptoms other than positive LH so who knows what'll happen this 2ww!

candyflossxox · 15/03/2025 15:09

I’m 4dpo!! It’s horrrrible the waiting and like looking for EVERY possible symptom.
