2 DPO - 2WW, Who's with me?? :D

[everythinghappensforareason]

.. Hi guys, So i'm 2DPO. Had Realllly awful cramping when i ov'd not sure if this is normal. Never been that bad before, lasted about 2 hours then i was fine. Anyway, worst part of ttc.. the dreaded 2ww!!

:)

I have and I got that but right at the end.

I think that I`ll have to start temping, just to make sure I am ovulating. I get the LH surge each moth so I know I am gearing up for it, just need to make sure its happening.

I could be wrong but you wouldn't get the surge if you don't ovulate?

How late were you this month?

Aww so sorry pickle but lots of luck next month!!

Good luck too u too happilymarried, i wish i had your will power.

I will be testing Thurs or Fri now, whenever my tests arrive. AF due Sat!

I feel quite happy in myself, and apart from yesterday had a few mild cramps, i don't have AF symptoms, mine usualy start a few days b4, i get break-outs, moody-ness etc! nada though, and BFN on cheapy tests, unless evaps count haha!

kicking when PG with DS, my bits swelled, although this happened much later on for me(third trimester) but could well be a symptom. Your cervix is supost to feel different, like the end of ure nose a midwife told me, and when not pg it feels like when u press ure lips together!!

yes kicking you can get a surge, without actualy ovulating! the instructions state "this is a good sign you will ovulate" nothings certain though, don't even think temps are, its all just good indications! and for most is accurate :)

Hi all,

Sorry Pickled that the witch got you. But good positive vibes for next month. Get on the temping bus with me!

Well, it should be 12DPO for me but I'm not convinced now that I OVd when I think or did or whether I OVd at all! Normally I get stained CM a few days before but nothing. A spotty chin and some cramping yesterday but that was it. Looking back through my old Fertility Friend charts, some of my cycles were 35 days, so I really have no idea what's happening.

I'll just wait for AF to arrive and then start from CD1 properly.

xx

Yep and the trouble with temps is that by the time you get the spike, you have ovulated!

I am not sure what my cervix is but there is a lot of very squishy, very tight stuff and then something very hard and round.

everything

YAY we should know about the same time! We're going to test every morning but we've only recently moved so we're going to register with a GP on Thursday night and then take it from there (if I've not come on yet)

I have never taken my temps, and don't think i will yet! going too just keep trying, if this is not my month though i might buy some preeseed next month!
google it kicking see what it sais :)

Found this on internet kicking - "After ovulation, your cervix will drop lower in your vagina and feel firm, like the tip of your nose. During pregnancy, the cervix will rise a bit and become softer, but the timing of this happening will vary from woman to woman. For some, this will happen shortly before their period is due, but for other, this will not happen until quite a while after their pregnancy has been confirmed.

Due to this variation between women, checking the position of your cervix to determine pregnancy is not a reliable indication of whether or not your are pregnant. More reliable ways to find out if you are pregnant is take a sensitive home pregnancy test or by visiting your doctor for a pregnancy blood test."

DH said Google said it's pregnancy but you never, ever know with Google.

I thought it would be best to see if anyone else know.

Oh and I just tried to Google it and I am sure I can get sacked with some of the answers... :D

everything

That's interesting - although, I have no idea where my cervix is anyway so I wouldn't have a clue! :D

My question is probably more to do with how like...swollen inside is. My DH notices when we DTD - VERY much notices. I would have a problem with using tampons if AF did arrive. It's very, very engorged...

TMI I know

Sorry

Bloody typical! Went upstairs to find that my dog had opened my envelope of Internet Cheapie tests - thanks dog!

Took them upstairs, decided to do one there and then, did it, wiped and start of AF - what a waste of a test!

Oh well, it's not quite CD1 yet as only the signs of it as opposed to proper bleeding so I'll wait until it starts and then start the temping. June BFP please!!

Gutted for you Pickle :(

I have been checking my cervix along with CM and in my fertile days of the cycle it was very roomy in there and yes soft, but post OV the gap feels tighter and yes def hard like the tip of the nose.

Hoping to see some change if implantation happens.

Bad luck Aday - is the dog pregnant? Prehaps hes having a doggy 2ww with you and couldnt control himself!

Red - how about 15 dpo with increased CM, and 3 days late for AF??? :D

Not willpower so much as I cannot go through the "bfn but AF hasn't arrived there is still chance" feelings again, I've done it so often and ended up distraught last month, literally cried all morning. I can't do that to myself again so if I wait till Friday I know I have a fairly reliable answer!

The waiting and not knowing is so hard tho, especially as pregnancy signs and pre menstrual signs are pretty similar! I have spent the last couple of days sure my boobs are sure but it's impossible to tell! Good luck everyone!

Kicking do you know when you definitely ovulated? Maybe you ovulated a fews day later than usual. Mine can vary from cd 13-cd 18 x

I had ovulation spotting, cramping and EWCM on the 1 May. It can go up to 3 days either way. But I am never late for my AF. Like - I have been clockwork for the passed 20 odd years and I've been recording it for the past...13 or 14 years? And I've never been on the pill for long periods of time so my body has regulated my AF for that time as well.

The other thing is that my breasts got sore on the day I should have had AF. Normally, sore breasts are a PMS sign and happen before ovulation. This is mostly due to progesterone. The progesterone peaks at about 10dpo and then starts to decline. Estrogen increases then and that's about the time you get PMS symptoms. If there is a fertilised egg, progesterone carries on building and doesn't drop off. Hence an occasional later stage sore breast feeling.

Right now, my breasts last night were sore. I don't think they've ever been that sore. They are very tender. That all started on around the day I was due AF. The pain isn't going away and I am now 3 days after AF is due.

Anyway - it could be a hormone imbalance. I am being careful with what I eat just in case but I will get blood tests done on Thursday and we can see if maybe my progesterone level is just a bit too high.

Sorry to hear about af pickle & aday

everything & happily - not long to wait now, fx for you.

kicking really sorry that you still don't have your answer, I thought I'd log in today and find your bfp announcement! Are your breasts still as sore today or are they easing off? Do you still have all your other symptoms?

I am feeling completely sorry for myself today, af is here with a vengence. I feel terrible, its like the worst af I've had in years. I am normally quite heavy on the first day but this is something else and (far tmi sorry) I've had a few clots in the blood. My back, stomach and legs hurt and I have a headache. Theres nothing more I want to do than crawl into bed and not move for the next few days

Oh no Queen that sucks :( Are you at home or work? Sending muchos positive vibes and hugs xx

My boobage is still sore. Other symptoms are still here - peeing lots, drinking lots, hungry as anything, still not keen to drink alcohol (that's weird), still a fair bit of CM and still weird in me bits. The bitch of it all is that I don't feel pregnant. I am getting weird tugging sensations on my lower ads now when I go walking, but it's not AF cramps. I don't feel irritable or aggressive (I normally feel that during AF).

I am starting to think I just have a weird anomaly. Anyway - Thursday is D-Day.

I just read that if you implant 12 days or later, there is an 86% chance that you lose the pregnancy :(

I can feel our December repeating to be honest

I don't think it's very common to get a BFP this late on...

Thanks kicking I'm at home at the mo as working nights this week. Haven't managed much sleep this morning though so feeling even more irritable than usual. Will need another kip before work tonight I think. I hate af time as theres nothing you can do but wait it out. Just want it to be over so I can get on with the next month.

It will probably be the longest 2 days ever kicking but at least you will know for sure soon. The symptoms all still sound promising.

Ahh kicking don't read that stuff, I've heard about loads of people who've had a late bfp and gone on to have a healthy child.

I don't think I had the cramping in December. Not like over the weekend. Had growing cramps from Friday until Sunday night - they were probably the twangiest on Sunday night. Then...nothing. No more cramps.

I know my body does nothing normal. It really doesn't. If there is a way it could take something normal and push the boundaries, it does that. But the one thing that has been rock solid is actually how regular I am. I know that when AF starts, I have a window of about an hour to take pain killers, otherwise I won't get rid of the pain. It's so set in stone.

This will be effing sore if I do get AF now. December I didn't know what to do with myself it was so sore. My DH took me to the hospital.

I feel like I have a fair bit of pressure in my tummy today. Like a full feeling?

Can you call in ill tonight and just stay in bed? What work do you do? My mum is a nurse and she is on nights this week too :)

Do you think the late AF / late BFP is a bit common? Or do you think it's quite odd?

OH OH OH

Just found this: If you drink a lot of fluid, the urine may be too diluted early on in pregnancy to achieve an hCG concentration adequate enough for a positive test.

I drink like 5L a day! There is hope!!! :D
