2ww just started - anyone else?

[Bumpforme2014]

Hey, on the 2ww and looking for some support! Just changed onto a 40 day cycle so this has been a long time coming, not that hopeful though as even though we used OPKs we only DTD a couple of times during high fertile time because hubby feels the pressure and can't always perform lol still be nice to have some support. I would call this cycle 2 of officially trying so still early days.

Hi everyone! On 2ww too, think I'm a few days past ov, af would be due properly on 27th with symptoms normally occurring all this week. So far everything same as normal for af, which has made me a bit depressed this evening to be honest, which is also typical of my af. Ggrrr how is everyone else feeling this evening?

Oh I am sensing the Sunday night blues from everyone this evening! Yes this next week is defo going to drag and will be difficult for us all not too test!

Welcome rockstars I am feeling good today but not looking forward to a week of work ahead, wishing it was time for either testing or AF as I am so impatient and want to get things moving. Visited a friend with her 4 month old today and got me all excited for this next chapter of my life :-)

Wish. There was a time machine! Im gunna try forget about symptom spotting and hopefully the time will pass quicker! Easier said then done hey! X

Hi bump! I've had snacks and watched a chic flick, feeling slightly happier. I have a long week of work as well, 2 of them 14 hour shifts, nothing like a long week that drags. I'm still arguing with myself over when I will test. I bought the 2 pack early expensive ones and a batch of cheap amazon. I know I'll cave and £3 to waste on negatives til it's the proper time will make me feel less guilty.

Hi Ladies I'm 2dpo so this week is going to draaag!! Any hints or tips to keeping your mind off the two week wait?

What day do you start testing?

That's the way to do it rockstars! 14 hour shifts though that's insane, at least it will make the week go faster?

Welcome bumpNgrind I think anything that keeps you away from home and unable to get hold of tests is the only way lol

I think your not officially suppose to test until day AF is due but since I don't know when AF is due I'm gonna test probably from 10dpo (next weekend) since that is when implantation usually occurs, you?

Gotta love overtime. Of course this much work won't be doing my body any good, I do need to cut down. I made sure the tests weren't going to arrive in the post until it was roughly time to start testing.
Anyone else had cramps and back pain around 4dpo? Seems odd considering implantation isn't til later. Though I do suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, so. So m times it's hard to tell which is which.

The 2ww is crazy and it's only my second month of ttc. I think 10dpo is when I'm going to test too. Last month I concentrated on my 'symptoms' so much that when AF arrived early I was not only gutted but shocked because I wasn't expecting it. This month I have to try and be more rational, but that so much easier said than done.

Bump you're so right about the 2ww being crazy - I hate the way it turns me from a relatively sane, rational person into a symptom spotting, emotional loon.

As for testing I'm going to hold out if I can keep away from the shops until cd29 (Saturday) - my cycle has been 25 and 34 days since coming off cerezette so I figure 29 is probably about right, assuming the witch hasn't put in an appearance by then grrr.

I have been dreaming about babies, pregnancy and childbirth Tec every night for over 2 weeks now. Obsessing much?! Hugely! Anyone else being sleeping this as well as living it daily?

Rockstars yes - worst though was a dream I had about being at the docs and being told I couldn't have any more children. Woke up crying then couldn't get back to sleep. Ridiculous!

Goodness no I've not had crazy dreams yet! I am about 4dpo so have got a wee while to wait yet!!

Hi everyone, had a very busy day at work so big distraction! Home now and symptom spotting straight away lol I have a sore left boob not right just left haha also slightly dizzy and wet CM back today but all this is the same as last month (sigh) still feeling really hot at night with vivid dreams waking me up constantly.

Can't sleep due to obsessive thinking about poas!

That's another day gone ladies. Well done to everybody who has refrained from POAS! I am now about 5dpo - wow this is going to drag!!!!

Can I ask, as I am not using OPKs, for those of you who have a 27, 28 or 29 day cycles, what days did you get positive OPK readings? Am hoping I didn't miss it!

Hope you managed some sleep pickles.
MrsF I am sure time stands still in the 2ww
Cd25 here, arghh, but I must resist til Saturday, be too early otherwise. Deliberately have no tests in the house to stop me doing random poas all week! X

Two hours sleep. And now have a really bloated and painful tummy so think AF is on it's way.

Ergh! 4dpo.....this week will absolutely drag! I've now officially gone mad because I've lingered over all the baby offers in the supermarkets, i have to keep reminding myself that I'm not pregnant and i don't have any children yet!!

Please tell me your stories so i don't feel quite as obsessed!!

Hi there.. First congrats to you ladies for getting this far.. In new to this whole IVF business and starting to realise what people mean when they say it is an emotional roller coaster .. I'm currently 2dp3dt on strict 'couch' rest (any excuse to be lazy!!).. Our IVF story began almost 2 years ago but here we are at last at the final hurdle.. Bit of a tricky one as its not as straight forward as most IVF cycles.. I am using donated eggs from my beautiful wife with donated sperm.. We felt this way would be best for us as we will both have that special bond with out hopefully future child.. Anyway this wait is killing me.. The past two days have felt 10 times longer than usual!! I'm sure yous all know exactly what I mean.. I had my transfer on Sunday and had cramping pains and twinges that night and yesterday which I was worried about.. Today I don't and I'm still worrying.. What the hell.. Anyways thought this would be a great place for support..

Oh wow TheMumfords that is really special. So is this your first transfer?

You have absolutely picked the right place for the 2ww. A safe place to obsess and then we get back to trying to appear normal in our daily lives.

Well I think I am 8 or 9dpo here, not fully sure. Thought I felt some kind of period type cramping this morning but I feel sure that any other month I wouldn't have noticed it. I guess it means nothing really -- either I am gearing up for AF or I am not.

Bump, I can beat that....I have been looking at maternity clothes on ASOS

Oh yes.

Apart from anything else, I didn't even need actual maternity clothes until about 7.5 months preg the last time around.

Hello guys!!
I am at the excruciating end of the 2ww here - period was due on Saturday but hasn't turned up. My cycles are a bit irregular so it could just be late. Every toilet trip is nail biting, lol.

No charting here but had loads of sex this month, almost every day.

I have no symptoms whatsoever. (No premenstrual ones either though!)

Last time I was pregnant I was very tired and emotional from my first day of missed period, and boobs grew and got tender very soon after. I am still breastfeeding no. 1 though so I have no idea what breast symptoms you might get with that - possibly they don't have to grow as they are already producing milk?? (hope so - despite still breastfeeding I wear nice bras again these days and like my boobs the size they are!)

Really hope I'm pregnant - trying not to get too excited!

at the maternity clothes. I have a box of them packed away from last time and keep wanting to get them out and look through. THAT WAY MADNESS LIES. (I also didn't get into mat clothes till the third trimester!)

I'm so ashamed of myself! I am a normal person the rest of the time, I swear!

weebairn you must be on tenterhooks -- I will be if I'm in your situation in a few days because my cycles can be irregular too. My boobs look totally the same but if you're breastfeeding surely your boobs will still look fuller anyway.

It's a weird old business, eh?
