Anyone else starting their 2ww?

Hi all

I think I am 2dpo and think AF is due 4th Feb so 13 days until I will be testing, if AF doesn't arrive.

I know it's not really possible to have symptoms this early but I have had frequent urination, excessive saliva and a slight metallic taste in my mouth today. I think it must be all in my head, because I don't remember having these symptoms the last time I had a BFP (which ended in an early m/c).

Is anyone else just starting a 2ww?

It's a benign lump! Something called a Fibroadenoma. GP said that it was probably caused by hormonal changes from when I was pregnant, even though I had a mc. I'm so relieved!

That's really good news !!!

Have you done anymore testing as well?

shopaholic85 · 01/02/2016 18:27

I feel really deflated after the BFN on 9dpo (though I know it was too early) and have no symptoms whatsover. I might do a test tomorrow, which is when Ovia says I can start testing, but have no early detection ones left. Maybe I should just wait to see if AF arrives?

How are you doing? You're on cd3? Does that mean AF arrived?

OP posts:
Lily35 · 01/02/2016 18:49

I'm chilled - hope I stay that way! Yes AF arrived but all done now. Going to start OPKs on cd 9 so relaxing til then!

Glad your lump was ok shopaholic - jesus that's scary though!

shopaholic85 · 01/02/2016 19:22

Thanks - me too! Last thing I needed. Quite common apparently but you just never know that until it's you.

Glad you are feeling chilled. It's the best way to be when TTC - much easier said than done though! I just know that this is not my month so looking forward to joining you with the next cycle. Might even have a Wine when AF arrives! Haven't had a drop for 4 months now.

shopaholic I'm so so pleased and relieved for you!!! What a relief. Great news. So what does it mean? Will it go away on its own?

I'm in a bad mood - tough Monday at work, still getting positives, no sign of AF and no idea when I can start planning again. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow after a sleep. Got to stay positive (just like my pregnancy tests!!)

shopaholic85 · 02/02/2016 20:48

Thanks Kate. I've been told to give it a month. If it doesn't go away on its own then they can remove it.

I'm sorry you've had a bad start to the week. Hope you're feeling better today? That's so odd that you're getting positives still. I bet you've never wished for a BFN so badly!

I got another BFN today at 12dpo on an early detection pg test. I don't know why I tested. I have no symptoms and pretty convinced this is not my month. I feel like I am torturing myself. Wish AF would just arrive but could be another 2 weeks as its my first after the mc.

OP posts:
shopaholic85 · 03/02/2016 13:52

AF has arrived so definitely out. Disappointed but at least my cycle has returned to normal after mc. My DH and I are living apart at the moment for work but we are together for the whole of my fertile window this month. This will my month!

OP posts:
Lily35 · 03/02/2016 19:01

Sorry to hear AF arrived - good luck this cycle tho Shopaholic.

Any updates Kate?

LolaStarr · 07/02/2016 08:57

Hi shopaholic, just wanted to say I know exactly how you were feeling, I had a miscarriage at 21 weeks last year and found a lump a few months later. Mine turned out to be a fibroadenoma as well but I was suffering from depression and I had convinced myself it was cancer! We've just started trying again this month, first day of the dreaded 2ww today!

Lily35 · 08/02/2016 18:29

Really sorry to hear about your late MC Lola - that must have been tough. Good luck for this cycle :) I'm on cd 10 .....

shopaholic85 · 10/02/2016 05:55

Lola, I am sorry for your loss Flowers Good luck for this month!

OP posts:
LolaStarr · 12/02/2016 10:33

Thanks both! 3dpo today (I ovulated a day later than I thought), I'm sooo impatient to start testing haha! Silly newbie question - how do you tag someone in a reply?

Lily35 · 12/02/2016 11:46

I'm ovulating today! So back in the 2ww! Really need to chill this time though :)

I just type the persons name in bold so no tagging required Lola

shopaholic85 · 12/02/2016 14:05

Good luck Lily!

I'm on CD10. Expecting to ovulate in 6-7 days if same as last month, but haven't really thought about testing, so taking it a little easier than last month.

OP posts:
Lily35 · 12/02/2016 18:46

Thanks Shopaholic!
Keep me updated on how you are getting on!
I'm keeping busy this month so I'm not symptom spotting. Sent myself mad last time!

shopaholic85 · 16/02/2016 10:11

I'm on CD14 now and OPK is positive. Eek! This is earlier than I was expecting so DH has been summoned home early today. Grin

So should be entering the 2WW soon.

Lily, when will you test?

OP posts:
Lily35 · 16/02/2016 10:14

I'm cd 18! Ovulated on cd 14. This time I'm waiting until AF on 1st March!! I don't think we've caught again as I feel same as last month.

Good luck !!!

Lily35 · 17/02/2016 13:38

Hope u are getting on ok Shopaholic dtd! Hopefully u catch that egg! I'm feeling same as last month so not caught I don't think :( not getting as obsessed though!!

Lily35 · 17/02/2016 13:39

Lola - any symptoms???

shopaholic85 · 17/02/2016 14:00

Lily, you are not out until AF! And no symptoms is probably better than having symptoms followed by BFN.

DTD going well so far, but wish DH wasn't so stressed with work this week. I have a week off so we feel a little out of sync. Trying to keep it fun and haven't mentioned that I am ovulating, but I'm sure he knows. My 2ww will be spent packing and getting ready to move, so hopefully won't have time to obsess too much.

OP posts:
shopaholic85 · 19/02/2016 08:50

Fertile window has just closed, so in the 2ww now. AF due on 3rd March so will start testing around the same time as you Lily!

OP posts:
Lily35 · 19/02/2016 09:05

Good luck!!
I got my dates for AF wrong - I should get it on the 29th ish.

No symptoms what's so ever this month so I think I'm out as I'm cd 21 already and 7dpo so would have thought I would have some by now.

I'm pretty relaxed though and I've kept really busy so I haven't really got too up tight about it. If not caught in next couple of cycles I get to go down IVF route so I'm actually quite excited!!

Keep me updated on symptoms!!!

Lily35 · 19/02/2016 10:07

*27th

HopefulKate1980 · 21/02/2016 08:44

Hi girls!

I'm so sorry I went missing for a while! The whole miscarriage nonsense was really getting me down and my boyfriend ordered me to stop researching miscarriages, talking about miscarriages etc so decided to give mumsnet a rest for a bit. Sorry to desert you. How is everyone? Are we all in the 2ww again?!

A little update on my annoying story. Remember I was still getting positive tests 6 weeks after my surgery and was v confused? Well, it simply turned out my body took ages to get back to normal.

I went to the hospital to have my bloods taken about 3 weeks ago and they were at 164, and then 121... so they just said, test again in a week or 10 days and they should be negative. The waiting drove me INSANE!! But finally, I got a negative! So I immediately went to Boots and bought stacks of ovulation tests and started testing. I got a low for three days, and then last weekend got highs, so told my boyfriend to gear up! It finally turned peak on Wednesday, and we had sex Tuesday and Wednesday night. I wanted to do it day and night! But my poor bloke had a nasty bug so it was a miracle he managed two nights in a row.... Anyway, I am now in the 2ww. Eek.

However, to add confusion (why should things be easy?!) I have had some spotting over the past 4 or so days, and one day it was like a light period. Mostly it has only been noticeable when I have wiped after the loo, but in Friday night it was a bit in my wee too. I called the hospital and they said it could be ovulation bleeding, especially as I was getting high / peak fertility on ovulation tests... what do you think? Have any of you guys had that? i found it very confusing. Sorry about this but I checked my CM and it was stringy and long but tinged with blood too. Do you think it means this egg won't be healthy? The hospital didn't seem concerned but they don't have the ticking clock like I do!

Anyway, I am now in the 2ww. I had a few drinks on Friday night but gonna lay off booze and caffeine for a week or so. Ovia says I can test in 10 days so gonna sit tight until then. When can everyone else test?

xx
