I'm not too bad thanks International. Had a bit of a scare on Thursday with some bleeding but a scan showed a strong and healthy heartbeat. I'm just taking it easy this weekend and I haven't had any spotting since Friday night now. I haven't had any actual sickness but I feel nauseous and crap most days.

The best of luck getting your BFP Sleeper x x

No AF yet, but tested again and still bfn. Wish it would hurry up and get on with it now. Sad

JellyBeanDavey · 18/08/2013 09:11

My 2ww starts today. Had a fixed smiley on Friday morning from dual opk and a normal smiley from (pink) opk yesterday. And clear circle this morning.

First time I've had proof of ovulation in a year so massive Fx!

Where is everyone at?

Writerwannabe83 · 18/08/2013 09:57

Sounds promising Jelly Bean!!

The very, very, VERY best of luck to you Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 18/08/2013 09:58

When is your period due Arkady?

JellyBeanDavey · 18/08/2013 10:04

Thank you writer :) how's your pregnancy going?

This morning my boobs feel so achey! Haven't had this is so long. My cycles must be getting back to normal! Though I say that, I'm on cd39.

ArkadyRose · 18/08/2013 10:06

Writer It was due on Friday, so it's now 2 days overdue.

internationallove985 · 18/08/2013 11:06

Pregnancy is going well thanks Jellybean. My bleeding has stopped so my state of mind is much better Smile

Normally I feel really crap everyday but I have woken up this morning with a bit of energy inside me so I'm making the most of it and getting some housework done. God forbid my husband would think to do it... Hmm

LongTailedTit · 18/08/2013 21:28

Please can I join the 2WW queue? Congratulations OP and others on your BFPs!

I'm 8 dpo, with another 4-7 days before AF is due - i'm really itching to do a test!
I've only had four cycles since coming off Nexplanon, the first three were 26 days, the last one was 31 days (same as before DS), so not sure if its worth trying a test this early. Plus DH goes away for the week on Tuesday morning, and I don't want to tell him over the phone!

I'm very tempted to do a test tomorrow morning...

snoozysleeper · 18/08/2013 21:35

Hi longtailed welcome Smile I think you're best testing at 10dpo...although dont let that stop you , lots of luck

JellyBeanDavey · 18/08/2013 22:01

Welcome longtail. If you can hold off, I would to avoid disappointment, as implantation doesn't happen until 9-12days, so you won't get any symptom or HCG level until then. But like snoozy said, please don't let that stop you Grin best of luck xx

LongTailedTit · 18/08/2013 23:06

I think I should probably wait until DH gets back and test on Saturday morning, that's if AF hasn't already arrived.
This is only our first cycle TTC, but it only took three for DS so I reckon there's a chance!

ArkadyRose · 19/08/2013 07:54

AF finally arrived, so that's me out for this month. Best of luck, ladies.

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 19/08/2013 12:20

I am sorry to hear that Arkady, better luck for both of us next time!

snoozysleeper · 19/08/2013 13:55

Ahhh arkady me too , fx for next month

AF got me overnight Sad so onto next month for me, if the 2ww thread is still running I'll re-join then , I'm going to try keep having fun with it

Best of luck for all on 2ww

bushprincess · 19/08/2013 15:04

sorry to hear that Arkady and Snoozy... I was so sure last month and then AF turned up early.. (at least she had the manners not to leave me waiting and hoping!!)... so now onto the second 2ww.... have lots to distract me (phd viva coming up quickly) so hopefully won't seem tooooooooo long!

good luck everyone!

VJONES1985 · 19/08/2013 15:25

dips toe in the 2ww waters

Hi there. Got my first positive opk yesterday and another one today so I assume I'll be joining you guys in a day or so. This will be my first 2ww and am already dreading it. Part of me wants to test asap and part of me doesn't!

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 19/08/2013 16:21

Snoozy I'll be joining you and Arkady again for next month Smile

Welcome Vjones1985, and good luck with DTD these next few daysWink.

I was super good at NOT testing, and didn't test until the day AF was due. So take heart - you can do it too!

VJONES1985 · 19/08/2013 16:24

Thanks keden :-) Anyone got any advice - is it best to dtd every day of a positive opk and also the day after, or what? Am also judging by looking at cm.

keepswimming1 · 19/08/2013 16:51

If you can dtd everyday then that's what I would do - unless its going to put pressure on the pair of you of course.
The more swimmers the better :)

VJONES1985 · 19/08/2013 16:54

Nah, we're enjoying it at the moment. My libido died a death when I was on the pill so it's a novelty at the moment! Daily dtd has no bad effects on sperm count, then?

JellyBeanDavey · 19/08/2013 16:59

If you can dtd as much as possible do it Wink plus sperm is at it healthiest the more it produced, so if its once-twice a day, then you have Olympic swimmers! A lot of people think if they leave it a couple of days and then go, that they will have more sperm. This is not true, sperm is actually tired and dying off :( poor spermies!

VJONES1985 · 19/08/2013 17:06

Ha ha, poor spermies! Tonight will be the fourth or fifth time in a row so hopefully they're like little Olympians :)
