Jesus....I just looked at my app and still almost a week until AF is due.

I can't believe how slowly the 2ww goes....this is my first cycle...does it get better or worse as the cycles go on? Confused

Curlywurly4 · 22/01/2016 09:23

Congratulations Kitty! Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months Smile

This morning at 13dpo I think I've got a faint bfp. The trouble is I've been spotting a little and only took the test because I had a sharp pain in my side yesterday. My ectopic started with bleeding at 4 weeks although the pain didn't come until 5 weeks and it was found at 5 +2. Hopefully test will be darker in the morning. I really can't handle another ectopic.

KitKat1985 · 22/01/2016 12:51

Congratulations Kitty!

Something can you call your GP for advice?

stumblymonkey · 22/01/2016 17:29

Who is next due to test? My AF isn't until next Thursday....

somethingfromnothing · 22/01/2016 17:46

kitkat the test at gp was negative so she wasn't really bothered. Told me to come back when af is late. Will take another test with fmu tomorrow.

firstgo1984 · 22/01/2016 19:37

gin any news? No ovulation for me yet. Cd28

GinandJazzHands · 22/01/2016 22:56

Congrats kitty wonderful news!!!
Hey first nope still no OV either and I'm one day behind you, CD27 still trying to DTD EOD which is proving challenging! God knows how long this will go on for.
something thinking of you, must be a stressful time. fx for your BFP soon.

GinandJazzHands · 22/01/2016 22:58

Sorry first I'm cd28 not 27 so cycle twins it is! Let's both bloody OV soon! Grin

firstgo1984 · 23/01/2016 09:29

gin I got it wrong yesterday. Today is cd30 for me, so I am a day ahead as we thought!

somethingfromnothing · 23/01/2016 19:07

Thanks gin I got a slightly darker bfp tonight but not getting too excited yet. I was a late ovulater (if that's even a word) I didn't ovulate this cycle until day 28. I was using opk and it was very negative on day 27 and very positive on day 28 for a few days

kittyvet · 24/01/2016 15:42

Popping on to say fingers crossed for you something!

stumblymonkey · 24/01/2016 20:31

Fingers crossed something....

somethingfromnothing · 24/01/2016 21:37

Thanks! Got another slightly darker line this morning. Still getting the odd bit of lightly bloodstained cm. Would just retest in a week if it weren't for my ectopic hx. So going to phone epu in the morning for advice. Just wish the lines would get darker...

Sorry for very self indulgent posts! How's everyone else getting on ? kittyvet how are you feeling? Hope to join you on other thread soon

stumblymonkey · 24/01/2016 21:47

I just started to get a little bit of brown spotting...I usually get a few days of it before AF so reckon I'll be getting off and catching the Feb bus in the next few days....only cycle one though but had secretly hoped to be a kitten and get upduffed on the first cycle

FuzzyOwl · 25/01/2016 23:12

How are things today something?

No stumbly the 2ww never gets any quicker and inevitably feels closer to two years than two weeks.

AF is due on Wednesday here. No symptoms or anything though but DTD four times during my five fertile days, so hope it was enough.

somethingfromnothing · 26/01/2016 15:43

I had a scan and they couldn't see anything but took HCG levels and I'm going back tomorrow for repeat bloods. The problem is they are going by my lmp which would make me 5+5 but I have long cycles of between 37-40 days and I know when I ovulated. Do by my dates I'm only 4+3 which is why they can't see anything and the hcg is low. Argh it's so frustrating! They are telling me after one HCG that I'm going to miscarry but I'm not giving up hope until I've had a second HCG. No spotting for past few days. Hope everyone else is doing okay! Not many people left on this thread.

FuzzyOwl · 26/01/2016 16:13

Sorry to hear you are going through this something. I think that unless the 12 week scan says otherwise, HCP will always go by your LMP. However, this won't matter for the blood tests because these just need to show that your hcg levels have doubled. I hope it goes well tomorrow.

stumblymonkey · 26/01/2016 18:20

Just dipped back in to see how things are going....fingers crossed for you something!

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 18:34

gin cycle twin. How are you doing? Cd33 here and opk getting darker. Hoping it is not a false alarm!

kittyvet · 26/01/2016 18:37

Thanks for asking something just a bit tired so far. I really hope you are PG with a in utero bean :) no one interested in when I ovulated (d24!) this time or last time! My daughter came 4d after when I said and 10d after the scan said :) Will keep
popping in and hoping to see some of you on the antenatal thread!

GinandJazzHands · 26/01/2016 19:07

Hey first been thinking of you; fingers crossed!!! One day behind you (32) and no sign of OV although weirdly relieved today - after DTD at least EOD we have had a three day gap due to visiting friends/life getting in the way so was nervous that OV today could scupper our chances this month. Going to get on it tonight. We are moving house Fri so all busy with packing etc! Can feel some niggles/very minor cramps so hoping it's my ovaries waking up. What's your longest cycle been everyone? Really hoping it can't be long until OV now!

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 19:19

gin my longest was 77 days. so if i do ovulate in the next few days will be happy-ish as it'll be around 48 (2nd longest so far was 38). Have also had a 38 and 32 - those were my first 2 post-pill when I wasn't TTC!!

firstgo1984 · 26/01/2016 19:19

gin fingers crossed yours wake up at the right time!

GinandJazzHands · 26/01/2016 22:05

77! Wow that sucks, fx neither of us have to wait that long this cycle!
