Tww starts tomorrow!

[Birdtable]

Anyone else?? Ovulation yesterday and today and been dtd lots!! Ttc #2 2cycle. Let's hope we get our bfp!!

[Birdtable]

I know what you mean ladies! Dh is getting complacent as I keep jumping him for dtd and it's usually the other way round!! He is loving it!!!
I keep thinking I have a metalic taste in my mouth...! Symptom spotting is a pain! 2 weeks is just too long!
I have been taking "conception" vitamins the last month so hopefully they will be doing their job blankfornanes but I think folic acid is good on its own too.
It's nice to have ladies to chat to who are going through the same thing

[Emma1109]

Can I jump on too? Lol

AF is all over the place so a bit hard to work out but normally on a 35 day cycle. Do I wait until 2 weeks after we estimated I ov'd or until the first day af is due?

(Worked out ov was Friday 30th May)

Aw good luck to everyone waiting

[Birdtable]

Hi Emma! I am testing the day af is due so the 14/15 June foe me.
Welcome to our waiting game!

[ladyflower23]

Welcome Emma! My af is due 12th/13th and I'm planning on holding out till 14th to test (if still no af). I tested early last month and got really depressed by the BFN then depressed again by my period and annoyed with myself for wasting money. Saying that I still have the second test in a drawer upstairs and I've already thought about doing it despite being only 1 or 2 DPO, so unlikely I'll stick by my big talk. Been getting flutterings in my womb area today so keep thinking it's the world's earliest implantation. I am quite short so maybe it's possible

[blankfornames]

It's crazy how much the whole thing consumes you! I was out for dinner with my family last night and my Dad offered me a glass of wine. I couldn't say no (I'm not one to turn down a glass of wine without good reason!) but despite only being 1 or 2 days DPO, I felt guilty drinking it! I didn't want to be in the Hot Seat over why I wasn't having one glass of wine! Hopefully there'll be some BPFs among us in mid June!! Fx'ed!!

[zoobaby]

So I think fruity's AF is due first, on the 7th. Any symptoms? None here really. Just a few aches/cramps here and there. Could mean something, could be nothing, could be last night's dinner. Who knows? I haven't charted temps due to waking in night so didn't see the point. Plus boobs feel fine, but possibly that's due to BFing at bed time. It's hard to be positive without being negative. It's just so contradictory. So I've been trying to tell myself to remain calm and just see. Easier said than done.

[zoobaby]

Emma no idea how the 2ww works. I'm guessing it takes the system 2 weeks to fertilise and travel to the correct spot and implant and start growing. Or maybe that's all just based on the perfect 28 day scenario.

[blankfornames]

I'm the same as you zoobaby, symptom spotting to beat the band! I reckon it's way too early for me to be symptomatic but my boobs are really sore. I only ov a couple of days ago so it'd be wishful thinking that it's connected to anything!
To answer your question about the opks. I used them last month but I don't think I ov'd as it was my first proper cycle after the mc. I used the clearblue fertility monitor this month and it thinks for you and tells you exactly when you have high & peak fertility. They are expensive though (and definitely takes the romance out of dtd as you're doing it to a schedule!)

[Fruityb]

Nothing that doesn't signal AF as well so I'm trying to be good and not think about it! I keep checking my chest as my friend says veiny chest is always a good sign. I'm exhausted and feel a bit poorly but have just gone back to work today after an amazing holiday so could just be that lol.

I'm bloating, boobs are feeling a bit sensitive and I'm worn out. Could be a sign, could just be normal for this time in the month. I'm usually like clockwork so when Saturday comes I'll be on tenterhooks as to whether AF turns up or not. I didn't do OPK around time I could be ovulating as was on holiday, so am just hoping we got it right.

Hope to have good news this month :)

[ladyflower23]

FX for you Fruity!! Not too long to wait for you now!!

[Emma1109]

Thanks ladies

Argh it's hellish. I keep thinking all these wee signs might mean something but don't want to get our hopes up this is the first time we've tried.
I am never going to last until af is due. That's nearly three weeks!!

Aw good luck fruity. Xx good luck to everyone really xx

[Birdtable]

I have had ewcm this morning? What does that mean? I have already ovulated!

[ladyflower23]

Oh god I hate it when things like this happen!! SO confusing!! Why can't our bodies just behave themselves and follow what Dr Google says they should be doing. Have you dtd in the last few days? Maybe it's your DH's stuff. I can't tell the difference. Really annoys me because I can't work out how many days I get EWCM for and have to abstain before it comes so know that it has definitely started and not just stuff from him!
Here's a question for everyone. If it's cloudy but very stretchy is it EWCM or does it have to be clear? And what if it's clear and not stretchy? Think I might use OPKs next month...

[pinpan]

Can I join in too? TTC #2, 2nd cycle as well. AF a bit irregular so probably not due until at least 20th (ovulation right about now ), but I reeeeally need help not testing before then as I am a terrible symptom spotter. (was absolutely convinced I was pregnant last month and then AF came 5 days early!) Maybe if I can spot all your symptoms instead it will help me ignore my own. Good luck fruity!

[ladyflower23]

Hi pinpan, anytime you feel the urge to POAS post on here and I will try and stop you!! Do the same for me, I am an addict and need help! Currently 2DPO and managed to avoid it so far. Well done me!

[Birdtable]

Hi Pinpan! I am also very bad a symptom stopping and poas urges! Here we can all wait together!!

[blankfornames]

Ha ha! Welcome pinpan! It's the hardest thing in the world not to spot symptoms! I'm hugely guilty of this! Thank goodness for this thread, otherwise my poor DH would probably go as loopy as me!! Good luck this cycle!

[pinpan]

Hooray!

[CatRen27]

I'm also gate crashing this one - been TTC since March and with super irregular cycles (28-38 days.. argh!) its a bit of a nightmare to map out where I am. Anyway, think I got the timing right and AF is due on 14 June too. Fingers crossed ladies!

[Karmanna13]

Hello, can I join please? On cycle 2 of ttc #2. DS is 2,5 years old. I had an ectopic 4 months after he was born so lost a tube but still feeling hopeful! It took 9 months to conceive DS and on cycle 9 I started using OPK's and got pg straight away so I do swear by them! :)

I got a positive OPK today, DTD last night and might do again tonight and tomorrow or day after just to cover all bases. Hope this thread brings us all luck and BFPs!

[Birdtable]

Hi Cat and karman! Yes let's hope this does bring us luck! This is my 1st month of using opk so I am hopeful that it will make it easier!
Is everyone having a good day? It's raining here and all I can think about is "oh, does that (whatever yummy flutter etc) mean I'm pregnant???"
Sorry to hear about your ectopic Karman, that must have been stressful.

[CatRen27]

Today and yesterday was feeling sick and dizzy, and woke up with a hangover minus the booze this morning, but pretty sure it's a bit early to be seeing signs - driving myself bonkers!

On the OPK - Karmanna13 how often do you use it and when?

[GandTnow]

Bought some tests today to be ready - I feel this may have been a mistake..... to tempting. No real symptoms - keep having a harsh word with myself saying, you sometimes feel sick this time of the month anyway, your boobs are sometimes tender now as well.

Not sure how long I'll last before poas!

[CatRen27]

I'm not letting myself anywhere near a pharmacy for that very reason - no self control! Working from home today which means getting very distracted on here...

[newbie6]

Hi all

Can I join you? I'm on month 2 of TTC no 2. Am 5dpo and think Saturday is the earliest I can test with a FRER. Have no patience at all and so want a BFN, am using clearblue fertility sticks and got a smiley face on Thurs and Fri last week so DTD both nights, fingers crossed! Good luck everyone!
