Another 2ww thread!!!!!

[MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong]

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!!

Oh and I've got super sore nipples! But that could be because I, breastfeeding a toddler.. Wish pg symptoms weren't so much like AF ones..

Keep us informed 59sound!

candypop loving the timetabling!! It gets you like that. We had it "scheduled" last fri am as I was off to my parents for the weekend but I had an, ahem, upset tummy. Kind of puts a dampener on things when you tell your DH that just before you're supposed to DTD. So we didn't, and now convinced the window was missed! 7 dpo today and might have just tested, even though I know it's too early. Dammit!

Welcome boulie! Yep, the identical symptoms are a real pain in the ass!!

Hold out bobian !!! (Says the girl who tested at 8PO last time) .

I don't think you can miss the window with one missed chance. FX that the other DTD times would get you your BFP !

We have 4 more scheduled DTD before we can take a rest .... Hahaha how ridiculous does that sound hey??!

I have a positive on OPK??!! Isn't it a bit early?! I'm CD13 and last month I got a positive on CD16??!

Hello everyone :)

Welcome Boulie fx'd they are pg signs and not just random messed up weird bodily things

Candy Never early. Ovulation is not a fixed event, it can happen any time. If those eggys are ripe enough then out they shall pop!!! Get DTD Loving the sex timetable. That did make me chuckle. Wish i was as organised as that!!!

I am on CD11 but negative OPK today, don't usually ov until CD18 but i had a temp dip yesterday, some EWCM and a temp rise this morning (this also happened last month so think it's just my body being weird). Had to work later than planned yesterday so was too knackered to DTD and I'm not really in the mood tonight either.

We are without child at the weekend so plan to get plenty of sexy time in then . If all goes to plan I should ov next Wednesday so got plenty of time to get those spermies in place.

Bobian 7dpo is very early (I am like Candy though, a notorious early tester) the eggy might only be implanting at this stage.

I know - it's bad having a cupboard full of cheapy tests . I do, however, only have three left so now must ration!

candypop I agree with Mooley - O can def occur at slightly different times each month. Best shuffle a few "appointments" on your schedule!!

Haha yes indeed.... Defo have to DTD .... But yes will have to revise timetable! So with a positive OPK does that mean it ovulation can happen in the next 36 hours and then add on another maybe 24 hours for when eggy is ready and waiting ? So really so DTD the next 3 days ??! ... I get so confused with what a positive OPK means!

Sorry lots is typos .... Sleepy and hungry at the mo!

I'm with you on that Candypop. As i understand it, it does mean that O can happen in next 36 hours - although you might be catching the surge of hormones on its way down if that makes sense...meaning that O would be a bit sooner. I basically don't really understand so we just DTD about 7 days in a row either side of when I thought O would occur!

candy I think you ov something like 12-36 hours after a positive. Then the egg will only survive for 24 hours so needs to be fertilised within this time. Just gotta make sure there are plenty of spermies up there to catch it I'd DTD as often as you can. Once you get a negative OPK then id DTD even more for the 2-3 days following it just to make sure. Do you temp? Temping BBT is the only way to know you've actually Ov'd. That way you can plan sex the day of and the day after ov

Wah that's a lot of DTD!

bobian 14 days in a row ! You are amazing !

Wow bobian I'm impressed! That's a lot of sec

candy how's the sex schedule looking?

I'm CD 12 and had another high-ish temp thus morning. We only managed to DTD yesterday. OPKs have all been negative so far. I'm worried I've ov'd super early and have missed it again this month

Sex schedule has been revised due to early ovulation so ramping it up and with be aiming for 4 DTD in a row ... Ok compared to bobian that's small potatoes but for us that's like a month worth of sexy time in the space of 4 days TMI??!!

Last month we did 3 in a row but I think I missed timed it... Also we're using preseed this month which actually makes it so much easier / comfortable when we're doing it so often!

mooley I don't know much about temperature tracking so wouldn't know what that means . What day did you start using OPK sticks ? When was your last DTD apart from last night?

I thought I missed ovulation last month but it came at CD16 so you never know... Just keep DTD regardless of what the predictions are saying ... Just in case ....

candy i know what you mean about the sexy time - it's like all DHs christmases have come at once when we are TTC!!! Preseed is a life saver. I love the stuff. Great for a quicky as well

Temps are the best way to know you have actually ov'd. OPKs can only detect the surge, but temps actually confirm ov. Problem is you only know that you have ov'd after getting 3 consecutive temps that are higher than you previous temps. I need one more tomorrow and then FF will confirm ov. Praying that is is low

I only started OPKing on Tuesday as I don't usually ov until CD18 (tuesday was CD10), but I had some EWCM, which I thought was weird, and thought i best test. We only started DTD last night as part of our own sex schedule (DD is at her grandparents this weekend so I was planning it so that we get as much in over the weekend as possible). We are scheduled to have more sexy time on Friday, then Sunday and ED during my fertile period (I am assuming that I will ov next Tuesday).

I am hoping that it was just a little blip, I will have a massive dip next week and then huge temp spikes!!! Going to continue to DTD anyway just in case, but if i have ov'd early then i think DTD the day after ov is not the best!!

hahahaha! Sorry, I just re-read what I wrote - I meant 7 days in total, hoping to catch O somewhere in the middle. DEFO not 14 days! Good god, no.

Just did another OPK test and it's gone back to negative . I don't need to test anymore do I? Does that mean I'm defo ovulating?

I have period type cramps today which ties with the OPK predictor ... So do I DTD tonight and tomorrow just in case?? Do we do Saturday as well for just in case?! It's all very confusing !

Right yes i think you can safely say you are definitely ov'ing :) I would stop testing if they are negative. And i would def Dtd tonight, tomorrow and Saturday, just to cover yourself. If the eggy is released 12-36 hours after a positive it may already be making its way down the tubes and will only survive for 24 hours. Did you DTD yesterday?

You have caught your surge at the beginning middle and end so I think it's safe to say that you are ovulating today. When did you get your first positive? The cramps are prob ov cramps so grab DH as soon as you can and get some sexy time in

Yes mam! we DTD Tuesday and yesterday and will be onto it tonight as well, tomorrow and Saturday just for luck !

This is serious business! If we don't catch that eggy this month.... Ooohhhh id be very annoyed! I deserve a medal for the effort I've put in !

Does anyone think this is positive or nearly positive? Never had it this early in my cycle! Got lots of EWCM too (although it might be remnants of last nights preseed/semen!!!

Mooley yes I would say that's positive/almost there. It's very nearly as intense as the control line so go for it . Just keep an eye on it - if that test is from today, maybe do another this eve to see if it increases in intensity?

Hello!
Oops, I seemed to have dropped off the radar a bit there. I hope I haven't missed anything exciting. Hello to anyone who has joined.

Glad to see lots of shagging going on! Mooley that opk does look v.nearly there- get on it anyway and test again to make sure.

Candy, I am v. impressed with your planning skills. Maybe you could be my sort of sex -secretary () and plan my diary too? I'm v.lazy.

Thank god you clarified bobian, I was very impressed/intimidated/horrified by your stamina.

I think I'm going to ov in the next few days. Getting lots of ewcm (incidentally grapefruit juice and oil of evening primrose have helped loads in this department). No +ve opk tho. I hate this bit, don't want to tire dh out and waste a dtd but also don't want to miss the window if I suddenly ov!

My temps are also high- still above last months coverline (apart from one day) but I think that may be because I have a cold. (Please please don't let it be that I've ov'd early, that would be really shitty).

Welcome back scary! I would have thought that you haven't missed ov if you've got lots of ewcm. Interested in what you mean by the grapefruit and oil of eve primrose helping?? I've not heard of that before x

Hey there Scary wondered where you had gotten to! I second what bobian says that if you are getting that much EWCM then ov is just around the corner. My strategy this month is to just keep bonking until I'm certain I'm no longer ov'ing! I know what you mean about tiring DH out though, I get a little bit bored by it all too and then sex becomes more of a chore and less enjoyable. I'm planning the EOD route so that DHs swimmers have time to regenerate.

I tested again and it still doesn't look all that positive. Will wait and see what my temp does in the morning and test again about 10:30ish. Think I'm definitely going to ov a little earlier than last month though going off other bodily signs!

You may find that the line looks darker tomorrow mooley. Last month my IC opk looked exactly like that the first day, super positive the next, then lighter again the following day. It def looks promising though and eod will ensure plenty of sperm ready to meet the egg when it does pop!

Bobian, I have read that oil of evening primrose capsules increase ewcm. Something in citrus juices (enzymes?), particularly grapefruit break down the protein in mucus which makes it more runny... apparently. Got to love a bit of science on a Thursday evening.

There you are scarymartian !

Sex-secretary .... I like that .... Sounds a lot more interesting that what I current do ?? ... So quite a few of us are approaching the TWW again... Ah let this be our month!!!! PLEAAASSSSSE!!!
