Just started 2WW- BFP due 20th Feb- come join me??

[Squeakybeaky]

Hi, I'm guessing I'm now in the 2WW as had positive OPK yesterday and the day before. Is there anybody that has their BFP due around the 20th and that has just started their 2WW.

Would be great to talk to stop ourselves going bonkers! What have you done this month to ttc? Anything different?

I have used OPKs and have followed the smep plan. Also drinking pineapple juice which apparently makes you produce more Ewcm and I'm taking pregnacare.

Drewswife implantation is between 6-12 dpo and it should show up a few days after that happens, 9doo I think is average but everyone is different. I usually try and wait until 3 days before I'm due on with first responses but last month I convinced myself six days before was fibe as the box said so. Every symptom going, convinced myself it was negative as just too early to test... And then AF came three days early. Gutted and got really upset as my one hope before then had been that at least my periods were regular ha.

Ticking along ok this month so far - back to using the opks I'd sworn off ha. OVed bang on dates. Had been doing SMEP but have just had at it every day since AF finished. Going to test on 19th which incidentally as well as being three days before AF due is also the date DH is having his, er, sample tested!

I really thought it would happen straight away, which is silly. I have 3dc and dh has 2dc from previous marriage, this will be our first (and last ha ha) if it happens.

We got married last year. My Dd is 18 nearly and I had cancer cells removed 2 years ago. So I am a little reluctant to get my hopes up. Hubby is also 11 years older and has no children. He is panicking that he is a Jaffa .

I'm just not hopeful. Today my boobs are itchy. Not sore. My nausea hit again last night. But I'm a night shift worker so that could be right.

I think I'm just worried about getting my hopes up

[impatienceisavirtue]

Drewswife we married last year too, dp is 13 years older and not cancer cells but I had abnormal smears and biopsies last year too, and even that worries me as to what effect it had! The docs are all adamant the man's age is irrelevant though.

It's awful isn't it - you work really hard to not get your hopes up each month and try and tell yourself you're ignoring any "symptoms" but every month when af comes it's the same story - you realise you'd been kidding yourself and you totally were conviced this was the month :(

I'm due the 20th too op! First positive opk was Thursday and had another yesterday. We have had a lot of sex, but for some reason this cycle I'm not hopeful, have a feeling I won't be pregnant for a long time.
A few of you I was on the jan bus with but I name changed. So this is cycle 2 and last cycle I had a week of faint pos to then bleed. Our cycles are synced I think squeaky lol. X

[Squeakybeaky]

Hi longlive. I had exactly the same last month with the faint positives and then AF turned up. I think I must have had a chemical pregnancy.

[Cineraria]

Hi, I'm due on the 20th too and also following the SMEP plan but ovulate a bit later than average generally (CD17, Saturday). Got a positive OPK on Friday and have to confess my first thought was "Thank goodness, it's nearly over!" as it really seemed a lot of work. We might skip the first couple of times next month if we're not lucky this time as the late ovulation makes them seem less likely to be useful.

Nice to meet all of you. Everyone seems to be good at healthy eating. I'm trying to up my calcium a bit, especially as I noticed the Pregnacare Conception vitamins don't seem to include any and I'd always relied a bit on my multivitamin supplement to sure I had enough before as I don't like most dairy products.


Good luck everyone!

Hi all, can I join you? Think I'm just starting the 2ww, af due on or around 22 Feb. This is sort of cycle 3 of ttc, although I'm not counting 1st month for various reasons. This month I've been temping and using OPKs. This cycle we dtd on cd's 9,13,14,15,16. Got positive OPKs on cd 13 & 14, and had first temp rise today, using ovufriend and fertility friend, they haven't pin pointed ov yet but guess if temp stays elevated for 2 more days then I ov'd on day 15, in which case hopefully have covered bases dtd-wise. Hope the next 2ww goes quick and it's a good result for all :) am going to try hard not to think or obsess about it (apart from when I am on mumsnet)

[Bobo13]

Hey ladies, how we all doing?? I'm now 6DPO and feeling like boobs are getting sore. Also keep getting some mild cramping, but I'm trying to convince myself it's all in my head!

[DrewsWife]

I'm getting waves of nausea. Two days ago I had a big wipe of blood. Then nothing. I nearly fainted in church. Nothing to do with the singing hahaha.

[Squeakybeaky]

Anybody having anymore symptoms? I am only 5dpo today but my boobs are feeling very heavy and a tad sore :) I've had a teeny bit of cramping but honestly think that could be anything. I weed a million times last night?? Clutching at straws! Ha ha

[tillyann2013]

I'm 5dpo and had some pale pink blood on wiping this morning. Never get that so don't know what that's all about !

[Sleepingstarsmommy]

Hello ladies. Mind if I join??

Im on cd 17 and think I ov'd yesterday as had my fixed smiley and cramps although Im still getting stabby pains on my left. Trying the smep this month and have dtd accordingly.

So now on the countdown to Feb 21st when AF is due, although my POAS addiction will mean I'll be testing way before then.

[maeanne]

Hi everyone. I've been very crampy and boobs are a little tender. But since I had both of those symptoms for the whole 2ww last cycle I am not reading too much in to it!

6dpo today, bfp/af due 19th and I refuse to test before then. I will not I will not I will not!*

*I probably will.

[Squeakybeaky]

Be strong maeanne!! I'm desperate for it to fast forward a week!!!

[Squeakybeaky]

Tillyann that sounds good. Maybe implantation?

[maeanne]

Me too squeaky, and typically I have a quiet week ahead so nothing much to keep my mind occupied and make the time fly. Gah!

[DrewsWife]

I'm sure I'm not pregnant. And just about to start a 6 night shift week. Feelin quite frustrated by the amount of spotting in having.

Am going to my gp to get advice I think.

[Cineraria]

Oh everyone is so far ahead and already feeling symptoms. How exciting! Hope the symptoms mean good news for all of you! I'm a bit behind everyone, I think, as I ovulate on CD17 (yesterday) so my only symptom is being exhausted with all the extra DTD!

Hope the spotting stops, DrewsWife. Your almost fainting sounds like a promising sign, though. I fainted a couple of years ago and my dad told me my mum sent him up in the loft to look for any baby stuff they still had, in case I was pregnant!

[Bobo13]

Oh girls, we'll definitely need to be strong and not poas before bfp / af is due. This 2ww is the longest so far!! Argh, can't believe I have another week and a half to go!!

[Bobo13]

Drewswife, your symptoms could definitely be a sign a bfp's coming

[Squeakybeaky]

Yes let's keep strong!! I am going to start testing on Friday (valentines) as I'll be 10dpo then. I've had BFPs that early before :)

[Squeakybeaky]

To carry on with the all in my head symptom spotting. Everything is tasting a little weird this morning. I also had sharp stabbing pains down in the uterus this morning too. I am 6dpo today.

[Bobo13]

Really squeaky? I'll probably be about the same. Maybe I should poas then to....nice Valentines pressie

[Squeakybeaky]

Yes ! There's no way that I'll be able to hold off any longer!! Be my testing buddy Bobo :)))

[DrewsWife]

I am holding off. I am 9 days too. Will do a test on Friday. Eeeek
