Anyone around 3dpo and settling in for the 2ww?

[LaraNotCroft22]

I've just hit the 2ww (according to FF chart) having missed last month as I didn't ovulate in a stupidly long cycle of uselessness!

Super happy to have simply ovulated, but trying to remember that's just a small part of the battle in getting upduffed.

Anyone else at the beginning of their wait and want to hand-hold compare symptoms?

Thanks all .

I would say I'm feeling excited and terrified in fairly equal measure. I'm just hoping so hard that I've got a little sticker .

Just took a morning test and had mild panic when line took what felt like forever to appear.

Looks the same as last nights, hope it darkens quickly! Too nervous.

Congrats both!

I am 5dpo and it seems af will show her face. :( Too soon!

Ahh keep hope Raluca. I've felt pre AF for at least a week. Bloated etc.

I do however know how you feel, I've spent the last 10 days convincing myself of all the reasons I couldn't be/ wasn't pregnant. Now I'm scaring myself with stats.

Keep your head up, what will be will be now, and you still have as much a chance as ever.

Congratulations!!!

No af as yet! Fc!

No AF here either and no symptoms of anything.

How is everyone today?

Personally I am happy with no af. 6dpo here and not cramping that much. Temp has gone up a bit. Fc!

All good here. Faint pos again today at 12dpo. Fingers crossed it darkens quickly!

Fingers crossed for you all to get bfp's!

That sounds promising How long are your cycles usually?

II'm 10 or 11 dpo. Af was due Thursday/Friday. My cycles are short these days 21-24 usually. I do have the occasional 26 day cycle thrown in though.

Poas yesterday as we were out in the evening drinking. Got what I think is an evap line followed by two bfn. Going to try and resist the urge to test again as it's an expensive habit! Spend about 30 quid already and it's only month one

That's good lara what a nice Father's Day present!

Hi Super. My clye can be 45 days plus, or a lot less, this one would have been about 30 days. Have gone a whole year before when younger so really unpredictable.

The fathers say card worked, it was funny seeing OH's face

Fingers crossed for you. Still so early!

FC for you Raluca! Super I buy cheap Home Bargains tests 89p for 2, but you can get them even cheaper on Ebay or Amazon!

I told OH yesterday morning, I did a Clearblue digital and it came up positive 1-2 weeks so I showed him that, he was really pleased . I've been getting all sorts of weird feelings in my lower abdomen and am just hoping that they're either good or unrelated. I'm also super bloated and feel like I look about 20 weeks already!

Thanks purple I think cheapies are way forward. I'll go to super drug today and get some. All sounds very positive with the bloating a strange feelings! I was in maternity clothes by 8 weeks with DS. Love an elasticated waist

Still no AF here. I'm two days late now but had a bfn again this morning.

How's everyone doing?

Hi Super, the Superdrug tests are good and often on offer. You can often get them buy 1 get 1 half price and there's 2 in a pack.

I took another test this morning and was pleased to see that the line was much darker than the one I took on Friday, I've added a picture .

I'm off work today, think I might have a chest infection now! I've been really poorly for the last week or so and have no idea which symptoms are due to being ill and which are due to being pregnant. For example last night I woke up at 3am completely wide awake and had to read for a bit, I also woke earlier than my alarm yesterday (about 7ish) and the day before! I'm not sure if I've coughed myself awake or have some kind of weird pregnancy insomnia .

Af due on Thursday

I stocked up on tests the AF arrived! Typical. Last two cycles have been 26 & 27 days rather than 22-23. I've been taking Inofolic so may be it's helping.

Sorry your feeling rough purple Coldy type things are rubbish when you can't take anything. I had insomnia in early pregnancy that was exactly like yours - wide awake in the middle of the night and not being able to lie in. I think it was a mixture of hormones and excitement. Only lasted a few weeks thankfully.

FC for you Raluca

Oh how annoying Super! FC here too for you Raluca.

Hope you feel better soon Purple. And hope you and Lara enjoyed telling your DH's! That is a lovely moment.

AF arrived for me today too. Apart from timing/following SMEP is there anything else I/we could or should do to improve our chances?? I'm going to be 38 in August and panicking a bit about my age.

I'll be 37 in a couple of weeks so I kinda get impatient/ worried. Cervix cramps usually means af soon so I am not optimistic

Sorry to hear you got your AFs Super and Welsh, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you Raluca.

Welsh I really loved telling him, I was worried he'd freak out but he was just really happy . Also I've no idea whether this contributed but I did 4 things that may have improved our chances:

1. I drank a cup of decaff green tea every morning.
2. I made a smoothie for breakfast every day in my Nutribullet with the main ingredient being a whole grapefruit.
3. I used Yes Baby organic lubricant and coconut oil every time we DTD.
4. We followed SMEP.

I'd been drinking the green tea and using the Yes Baby and coconut oil since we started TTC, but I only started having grapefruit a few weeks ago, and this was the first cycle we tried SMEP. I'd also been taking Centrum 'before and during pregnancy' vitamins and OH had been taking a daily multivitamin. However I've always taken a daily multivitamin because I don't eat meat so I've always felt I'd better have one just in case!

Sorry about AF Welsh

I'm going to be 40 next year so get the time thing. DS is also three and was conceived first time. Always planned to start TTC earlier but i haven't felt ready until now.

Hope you had a better night purple I was up most the night with DS as he had a temp which wouldn't usually worry me but he had a non blanching rash over the weekend so I was stressing!

The smep looks like the way forward. I'm using CBFM too - fc for this cycle.

Hi guys.

Sorry about the af's fingers crossed you get your bfps soon.

We didn't do anything different this month, just DTD when saw ewcm, and the two days before and day after ovulation.

I was also tracking my temps to make sure I ovulated, as I haven't been every cycle.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Raluca!

Oh guys! I'm so dizzy! House is spinning around!

Are you ok Raluca? Have you tested?!

How are you feeling Lara and purple?

Congratulations to those who have a BFP so far.
I'm almost at the end of my 2ww. I've tried not to symptom spot, because this is what myself and the other half want so badly, on top of that it is too early. However my body hasn't been it's usual self if that makes sense? It's possible that it is wishful thinking I know.
Hopefully on Monday I will have the answer we want. I'm cautiously excited. Fingers crossed for everyone.
