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!!

I am now 4DPO ..... Not really feeling any symptoms....still too early right? So feel a little sicky but I think it's all in the mind and I'm coming down with a cold!

Absolutely petrified about having no.2 .... Thinking maybe should start potty training my DD soon !

Absolutely bricking it. having said that I want another while I still have the energy to run around after them.

We are introducing the potty to DD. She sat on it watching CBeebies yesterday afternoon before bed. Seemed to enjoy it, so hopefully by the time a little brother or sister arrive she will be fully trained very wishful thinking

Candy sometimes the increase in progesterone can make you feel a bit sicky. I know i sometimes have that early in the 2WW.

I am really going to try not POAS until AF is due. Just think there is no point ... If I'm pregnant I'm pregnant , if I'm not, I can pee on as many sticks I like but it won't change the outcome !!!

That said ... I think I do have a few free testers from the preseed pack but defo not going to by and FRERs this month

candy I'm with you on that. So true as well. I'd rather wait it out and not have the heartbreak of seeing a string of BFNs!!

I have one FRER and a Digi but no ICs. Tempted to buy some but then know that if I do that I'll test early so best to just not be tempted!

Good morning all. How are we all getting on? Any testers this morning?

I am now at a loss as to what my body is up to. Thought i'd wake up to a massive temp rise this morning after yesterdays dip, but nothing....nada. Cervix still high, soft and open but CM seems to not be as egg whitey. I am assuming that i am ov'ing possible today instead but the signs aren't looking good. After it taking so long to conceive our DD I am worried that I might have another 10 months of this!

Will check CM later to see if it can offer any better signs, as the OPKs are proving useless this month.

Hope everyone else is having a better morning. Update later :)

Good morning! mooley my only advise is try not get to stressed

.... Haha that was short.... Posted before I finished.... I was saying , try not get too stressed, I know I am one to talk but we do become unhealthy obsessed with it all. You have been DTD EOD so hopefully you will have that eggy covered from all angles.

I think that it isn't a coincidence that people who have trouble to conceive end up getting pregnant when they are due to start IVF treatment. When they know something is being done, they relax and become less stressed and that is a contributing factor for getting a BFP.

This is the approach I am taking his month.... Unfortunately I am not getting stressed about TTC but I am very stressed at work ! Hoping this doesn't affect my chances

Hey everyone. I'm back! But not with a 2ww! Don't think I've ovd yet. But who knows! Temps are all over. CBAFM had me high yesterday and today. Today is CD25.

moo just go with the flow is my advice. I got so stressed last cycle I was in tears a lot of the time. Look after your sanity.

I just had a 6 month pregnant lady ask me for my seat on the team. I just wanted to say "how did you do it? Any tips?"!!!!!!! Don't think that would go down too well with the commuters!

Welcome back otter! Good luck with working out your cycles!

mooley keeping my fingers massively crossed for you. Make sure you have a few nice treats planned every now and then to help distract you (it's hard, i know!) My friend took 18 months to conceive first time round - they were DTD every day and got understandably consumed with it all. They did IVF and have lovely twin boys....second time around, she's found out she's pregnant after 4 months of DTD twice a week! These stories probably don't help you much, but I'm really really sure it'll happen for you.

Well, I've given up testing as AF is due Thurs and I'm positive she will show. Totally agree with candy that if i'm preg, I'll find out soon enough!

Thanks ladies, couldn't get through without all your support

I know there are so many people that have struggled and got there and I know it will Happen it's just a case of when. Good news is that my cm is EW and my cervix high soft and open.

candy I'm with you on the stressful job. Can't see the wood for the trees at the minute with mine!

otter good to see you again. Hope your temps calm down and you get some clear signs of ov soon.

bobian well done for not testing. I'm very impressed! Fingers crossed she stays away!!

ME TOO mooley! I woke an hour earlier than normal and took my temp fully expecting a lovely temp rise and got nothing. I was in disbelief. Did go back to straight back sleep for an hour (didn't get up to go to loo or anything) and took it again on waking and it was high enough for a temp shift but I know deep down that the earlier one (even if it was earlier than norm) was prob most accurate.

Im so confused, I had ALL the normal signs yesterday and cm has changed to creamy today so looks like I o'd.

It wouldn't be so bad but it's going to be hard to persuade dh to keep going with dtd. We were both enjoying the rest. I may just give up this cycle. It's all so hard.

Mooley, I hope you got more positive signs today.

Hello again otter!

scary last month my CM was creamy the day I ov'd, which makes me think I had ov'd in the wee small hours and my body changed when I got up. Could be something similar with you.

I've just checked mine again and it's definitely now sticky whereas there was loads of EWCM throughout the day. Plus I had some cramping so I think I've already ov'd but dtd tonight just in case (wish we'd done it yesterday instead now though). One of those spermies has got to find that egg.

When did you last dtd? If you think you covered your bases then abstaining tonight will probably not make much difference as there should be enough spermies up there to find that eggy ??

We last dtd Sunday night and the three nights prior to that. Got to try and persuade dh to go again tonight. I could have sworn I o'd yesterday morning as had all the pains- low down cramping that goes between my legs (sorry).

I've been reading about a slow temp rise but know I'm kidding myself.

If only I could cover my bases with dtd tonight I would relax a bit but dh is so stressed and tired it won't be enjoyable.

It sounds like you have covered your bases well, even if you did miss last night. Fx crossed we have a temp rise tomorrow!

Could you try and seduce DH? Do some ahem Positions you wouldn't normally do (sorry if that's a bit personal!)? Or promise to do something nice for him tell him it's the last night and he can have a 2w break!!

Tell him this is really important to you and to both of you if you want to have another babba. Plus sex is great at releasing stress!!! I had a shitty day at work today, sex was really the last thing I needed!! Feel great now though

I think I definitely need to pull something out of the bag! I ordered dominos tonight to cheer him up so that's got to be worth a shag!

Glad you're feeling much more relaxed now..

Haha that made me chuckle... Bribing DH with pizza in exchange for some nookie

Hurry up ladies come and join me in this TWW hell hole! Guaranteed to turn you insane and definitely not fun here!

Finding myself googling can I test at 5DPO knowing full well the answer !

Please slap me someone .... This month I made a promise not to test early!!!

Candy absolutely no testing until at least 11 DPO

scary I'm also loving the pizza bribery! He's got to be up for it now!! Surely!!

Candy- STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS!

My plan may have backfired, dh is now complaining of feeling tired and full. I think he may be on to me.

I needed that! You might have to post something similar for the next 6 days!

candy that's hilarious - I too start googling things like "5 dpo symptoms" every day, pretty much from day 1 EVEN THOUGH it's the same every time I look. WHy is it so difficult to distract ourselves. Go on though, hold out for as long as you possibly can! I would say til at least 10 dpo (sorry mooley, I'm weaker!!

scary did you get a thermal shift? I had a shift of sorts but nothing significant so not convinced I've ov'd! Although had an horrendous night with DD so could be due to that. Will hopefully know more when I check CM later.

candy step away from the tests. And Google hope you managed not to test!!!!

Bobian any signs of the witch? Are you going to wait to see if she arrives or test before?

I've decided I am tentatively in the 2ww. 1dpo today

Morning everyone!

Bobian any news?

Candy, we may have to see evidence of a sealed hpt!

Mooley, I'm glad you had a thermal shift even if it is tentative. Could be a slow rise this cycle.

No real shift for me. Here's a pic of my chart so far. My temps have been all over the place this month. Apart from one day on cd7 where they dropped they have not gone below last months cover line. I thinks that's because I've had a cold which lasted a week between cd9 and cd 15.

I think I am just going to stop temping this month and let whatever happens happen. It's too stressful otherwise. I've been manically testing my thermometer to see if the readings change when it starts off warm or cold. They do, but I'm just driving myself mad with speculation. I need to just chill out.

Oops, didn't want to add that pic as you can't see the temperatures. Here's another a little clearer. Let me know what you think.

Looking at that scary i'd say that you ov'd Monday. When i temp early i always use this to adjust my temp so that i have a clear picture (i do it throughout my cycle to ensure consistency!). Used it when i conceived DD as well; for me it just makes my chart look a little bit prettier and with the additional temp for Tuesday it might make your pattern a little clearer. Worth a go, if you are not happy with it then you can always revert back to the original.

Fx'd that link works - it's been a long time since i posted a link!!!

right that link didn't work......try this instead. Then on the left hand side there should be a basal body temperature adjuster option.
