Hi everyone. I'm about to embark on another 2ww (ovulating today) and wondered if there was anyone else out there in the same position who wanted to come along for the ride!

Only cycle 2 TTC #2 but took 13 months last time so crossing everything!!

Sad sorry to hear that candy. Thanks I'll join you next month, we'll likely be ov buddies again!

Hi whit, sounds so frustrating, I know what you mean, the unknown is just so draining. At least you know where you stand with AF even though she is evil.

Hello 59sound. Just get stuck into the wine I say. I think I would have kicked myself if I'd have abstained the last two weeks as it would all have been for nothing. (Not saying that would be the case for you - fx for your bfp Smile )

CandyPop · 18/09/2014 17:10

Hi 59sound , no harm in having a couple of glasses id say!

scarymartian it WILL be our month next month!! What are you going to do differently? I think I am going to relax a little. Not going to use an ovulation kit and not going to POAS until AF is due. I've wasted like £50 this month and it's only cycle 1!!!

I am also going to eat better and get DH onto vitamin supplements. It's probably a good thing I didn't get pregnant this month ... I was binge eating all the wrong foods .. Think I had at least 3 rare steaks , sheds loads of cheese and tonnes of pate! Maybe my body thought that it's safer not to let me get pregnant this month Blush

ScaryMartian · 18/09/2014 17:19

I think I'm going to try preseed as heard good things (want to give the swimmers a helping hand!) and def relax a bit more. I second the diet thing too. I've been eating really badly over the last few weeks too and it certainly won't hurt to eat more veg!

I'm still going to temp and use cheap opks as I like to know what's going on but I'm def not going to buy any hpts in again until I think AF is late. I quite liked not having the anxiety and heartache of staring at a stark white bfn this month. Also saves lots of money (does this mean that I am officially on the POAS wagon?!)

Bring it on next month, let's do this!! Smile

59sound · 18/09/2014 17:37

Thanks guys, wine tonight it is then! Smile. Fx for all your bfps too.

CandyPop · 18/09/2014 18:03

Where do you get the pereseeds and cheap OPK? Any recommendation on brands?

ScaryMartian · 18/09/2014 18:17

Not sure about preseed as have never used it but there are a few places online when I found earlier.

I get my opks from amazon, £3.45 for 20 and free postage. They work perfectly fine and were confirmed by my temps too. Also cos they are so cheap I get to feed my POAS addiction a bit. When I was ttc no1 I used to buy 20 pregnancy tests too which was so dangerous as I was POAS more often than not!!

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 18/09/2014 19:06

candy nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Angry damn that hag whore.......damn her to HELL!!!!

Next month WILL be our month i can feel it in me bones :) I am with you in the not Peeing on any Sticks until either really close to AF or when AF is missing in action!!

Scary we use preseed all the time, helped me conceive DD I am sure of it (together with the clomid which actually helped me ovulate!). I get mine from Amazon, think it's about 16, not cheap, but then nothing about this TTC malarkey is. I too have spent a ridiculous amount this cycle on pee sticks and where has it got me??? Early testing and a string of BFNs.

I also get my OPKs from Amazon, scary i think we must get the same ones. Last ones I bought came with 10 free HPTs as well. I have bought in bulk in the past - i think one month i had a stockpile of 25 ICs, 4 FRERs and 2 Digis (I was not pg) Blush

I've calmed down a bit since this morning; think I am more resigned to the fact that AF will show on Monday and theres nothing I can do about it so trying to prepare myself for a nice shiny new cycle where we all get sticky eggs :)

Getting the Wine in tonight and going to watch some of the referendum results coming in.

Welcome 59sound fingers crossed for you in the 2ww; we will be here no doubt to gaze at your pee stick pictures and offer advice on your symptoms :)

I've.not touched.a.drop.of.alcohol in.over 2yyears I may steal a glass moley! I'm.in.the.mood for a frosty cold cider to!

whitwoochantelle · 18/09/2014 19:54

I'll be on my.back in no time

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 19/09/2014 07:56

Morning ladies. So......Scotland have voted No!! i am really pleased that they have decided to stay with us. Really did not want them to leave. It might sound a bit cheesy but i definitely think we are better together

Whit did you have a drink last night? Can't believe you haven't touched a drop for 2 years. Well done you. Wish i could have that sort of will power.

I didn't bother having a drink in the end, or watching the results come in. Was absolutely shattered and was in bed for 9. 13 dpo today and tested with an FRER and BFN (albeit about 3rd morning urine and very dilute). I only tested because my temp shot back up following a 2 day dip, but I am not hopeful. Was hoping to have had a BFP by now, as my mum is coming up to visit tonight and I wanted to give her some good news (as a family we've had a very rough year). Hey ho, was not to be. If i was preggers I think by now it would have shown positive so going to wait until Monday when AF should arrive and see what happens.

How is everyone else doing? Are there any other testers left or are we virtually all out (apart from 59sound but I think you are pretty early in the 2ww)?

OP posts:
59sound · 19/09/2014 09:02

Boo for the BFN Mooley but hope you have a good time with your mum. Maybe it's still too early and you'll get some good news over the weekend? Fx for you.

I am only 2 dpo today so have a long way to go! Woke up feeling sick this morning but think it is my mind playing tricks on me. Roll on 1st October!

Baffers100 · 19/09/2014 11:38

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining? I'm apparently in the 2ww now according to Ovia but I really feel like if I get a BFP it will be a miracle. This is our first month of TTC for #1. I was a bit daft and ran 2 packs together, had a period, then stopped after 8 days of week 3 so god knows what's going on down there.
Ovia said it thought I was fertile, and I had the EWCM and all that good stuff lol. Sort of don't want to test in case I get the BFN as i'll be heart broken.
Can't believe it's this complicated getting pregnant. I've literally spent years trying not to get pregnant and pannicking at the slightest thing. I hate how doctors made it sound so easy too!
I'm due to do a test on 02/10, but I am going to leave it until the 4th which is a saturday. In the meantime, best of luck ladies xx

ScaryMartian · 19/09/2014 12:52

Hi all. Warning- epic me me me post!

So my body is just being bonkers. My 'AF' stopped yesterday afternoon and apart from 2 occasions when I had some red bleeding (when I thought af had def arrived) it has mostly been brown discharge which has now slowed to just a little pale brown when I wipe.

I am now 14dpo and my temps are still high. I have just got back from being away so naturally caved and bought a hpt (shitty sainsburys cheapy). I have just done it with the most dilute urine ever and think I can see a shadow of a line. Visible to the naked eye (!) but difficult to see on camera. Of course it could be an evap but it showed within the time.

I don't want to get my hopes up as getting AF cramps and there's still time for her to return properly plus with the bleeding I've had it could be a chemical or a non sticky bean.

I don't really know why I'm posting- just wanted to share as don't know what the hell is going on.

Time will tell I suppose.

ScaryMartian · 19/09/2014 12:54

Welcome baffers, fx for you.

Mooley- there is still time, esp as temps remain high.

ScaryMartian · 19/09/2014 13:20

I'm almost embarrassed to post this it's so faint but know how we all love a line picture!

I think I'm going mad. Sad

Another 2ww thread!!!!!
MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 19/09/2014 14:23

I CAN SEE IT I CAN SEE IT SQUEEEEEEEE!!!! Grin

Test again in morning with either another and get a digi I always use a digi as I like seeing the words and much better than trying to decipher lines.

I feel a bit ill. Not sure if I'm just dehydrated but feel a bit faint and icky. Hope I'm not coming back down with that bg I had.

OP posts:
whitwoochantelle · 19/09/2014 15:22

I see it to scary that's not faint it's bold! Do another timmrow toes are crossed for you. Brown blood is old blood. Could be old implantation or ov blood! I did I had 3!.I.wish I had the will power over cake haha

CostaLotta · 19/09/2014 15:40

Scary I can see it too! I would get yourself a FRER or digi. Spotting in early pregnancy is very normal remember. Congratulations!

59sound · 19/09/2014 16:19

That's not faint at all, can see it clearly! Exciting!

CandyPop · 19/09/2014 16:25

I can see it!!! Ah very happy for you!!! What a turnaround in events Smile

I'm still gutted about my bfn .... I know it's my 1st cycle but have never faced this before in TTC DD1. She technically for conceived on -1 cycle as we planning to try properly the following month.

So ladies with BFP... Tell me how often you DTD... Shall we do it every day during fertile period or every other day run up to it?!

Hellohellohowareyou · 19/09/2014 17:38

Hello! Can I join please you sound like a friendly lot Grin

I'm currently in my 2ww of TTC # 2. Have been using the ovia app which is great but it's saying I can take a pregnancy test in 4 days even though my period isn't due until 27th/28th? I'm assuming that's because some tests can work before you even miss your period?

Hellohellohowareyou · 19/09/2014 17:41

Also bit confused about ovulation and dates if anyone can help? Cd1 was sept 1st and I got a smiley face on a clearblue ovulation thing on 10th sept but not the following day (11th) we dtd on the 6th, 8th, 10th and 14th so according to ovia app that's twice in my fertile window. BUT I got ovulation pains on the 14th? My cycles are between 26th-28th. Not sure whether we have dtd at the right time or not? Hmm

Also massive congrats on the bfps so far!

ScaryMartian · 19/09/2014 19:11

Thanks for confirming I'm not going mad everyone!

To be honest though I'm not feeling too confident with this. Have had a little more brown bleeding this evening and getting AF type cramps. I bought some digitals so will do one tomorrow with fmu.

Hi to hellohello! Not sure about your ov dates but it looks like you have both the 10th and 14th covered. Only temping will truly tell you if you have ov'd. With regards to the preg tests- some do detect pg as early as 4days before AF is due, Ime frers are the best.

Candy- I don't think I'm qualified just yet to advise re: dtd freq as not confident on my bfp however we dtd everyday on the run up to ov (4days starting from first sign of ewcm) and including day of ov. I have read that unless dp has low sperm count then everyday is fine.

ScaryMartian · 19/09/2014 19:57

Bfn on cb digital (DH made me do it, promise!) and AF cramps getting worse.

I have a feeling this could be a chemical pg.

Sorry to keep giving you a running commentary but it helps to share!

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 19/09/2014 20:19

To be honest scary digis aren't that sensitive. Naughty DH for making you test with anything other than FMU!! AF cramps in early pg are quite common, as is bleeding. Until she arrives in full flow you could still be in with a chance. Fx'd for you!!

Before DD was conceived we suffered an early miscarriage after having a nice pink positive and then a string of BFNs so I can completely sympathise if this does go that way really crossing everything it doesn't!! :)
