That 2WW time again, wishing the days away!

Anyone else in the 2ww?

I am currently 6DPO
Cycle #3
TTC #3 (but first baby with my DP) as current DC are 6 & 10

Cycles have been like clockwork every month so far, I think I had a chemical pregnancy last month as faint BFPs two days and a day before AF arrived.

Hate the anxiety of a 2ww! Sad

5dpo here, roughly anyway, didn't get any ewcm or a positive opk but I'm still calling it 5dpo!

Cycle 3
TTC 3 (2 was stillborn 4 months ago, DS is 2 next month)

My cycles have gone straight back to 28 days since giving birth but I'm still not too sure if I'm actually ovulating. The 2ww is a killer, I start testing so early! When do you plan to test autumn?

Sorry about your chemical pregnancy by the way, I missed that first time round Flowers

I'm so sorry about your DC2 Alb1 Sad Flowers that must have been devastating

I got a BFP with my dd at 9DPO so I intend to test around then but tbh I probably will torture myself and start testing tomorrow - even though I know there is no chance of a BFP!

I tested this morning Blush with my DS I got a bfp at 10dpo so I see that as my realistic test date but I can't help doing it sooner! Luckily the ICs were £2.59 for 30 so I don't feel too bad

jaffacakes16 · 31/08/2016 17:57

Can I jump in here for company? 4 DPO on my first cycle after an early mc and it's killing me! Got positive 10DPO last time so 6 days to go :(

Alb1 · 31/08/2016 18:34

Hi Jaffa, sorry about your miscarriage, fingers crossed for you this cycle though! I've always had a positive at 10dpo too but I'm still planning to test tomorrow at 9dpo, can't help myself!

jaffacakes16 · 31/08/2016 19:10

Ill probably have a go at 9 DPO too! Let me know how you get on with testing :)

Alb1 · 01/09/2016 10:46

Bfn today, ovia app says my symptoms look like AF will arrive too, only 9dpo tho so there's time yet!

jaffacakes16 · 01/09/2016 13:05

You're not out just yet. Keep your fingers crossed!

AnneLovesGilbert · 01/09/2016 21:33

Hey everyone. I'm TTC #1, had mc last cycle, the is cycle 7.

I didn't know what to expect after mc, bled for 5 days and it was very early.

Not OPK but absolutely sure I ovulated 8 days ago, ewcm and right side cramping, usual signs, though it would have happened only around a week after mc.

Feeling exactly the same as I did last cycle so hoping against hope...

Using ovia which won't make any predictions till I've had first af after mc. Based on ovulation date I'm expecting AF next weds but probably won't test for another 10 days if it doesn't show.

Good luck everyone. Waiting is a bastard.

jaffacakes16 · 02/09/2016 08:25

Welcome Anne. I think I ovulated late (day 22) this month after mc but hard to know. I'm an emotional wreck at the minute waiting to test. :(

Alb1 · 02/09/2016 08:44

Bfn here 10dpo Sad I no it's early but I think I'm out, not a symptom in sight

jaffacakes16 · 02/09/2016 13:38

Alb I had very little symptom wise last time so you never know. Of course as I say that I am imagining all sorts of symptoms myself!

AnneLovesGilbert · 04/09/2016 21:32

Any news Alb?

I'm 12 dpo, I think. Not a scooby when to test though after mc last cycle.

Alb1 · 04/09/2016 22:08

11dpo and bfn Sad had ewcm though this last few days which is confusing!

JulyLady7 · 05/09/2016 08:45

I'm 9DPO now, first cycle trying after early mc in April at 7 weeks. I think I'm out this cycle! Not due till Friday, but last time I had breathlessness at 9dpo and bleeding gums when brushing teeth - no such symptoms this time round. DH really thinks it's gonna be positive, but he doesn't get its not as simple as just timing it right! Hope you get your bfp ladies!

AnneLovesGilbert · 05/09/2016 09:58

You never know July, you're not out till you're out.

Weird about the bleeding gums, I had that last month before I mc and once again a few days ago, though not since. Is it a known symptom?

If no af by Friday we can test together!

JulyLady7 · 05/09/2016 11:16

Hey Anne that's true, you never know! I just feel that last time I had more signs. I didn't test till 5 days late that time, but this time round I've got no will power, I wish I could just know, but I'd rather be late and then I won't keep hoping the bfn's are wrong, if that makes sense, so Friday is D-Day! Last time my temp have it away as well, but this time I only tempted to confirm ovulation and then stopped!
About the bleeding gums - that's what made me suspicious last time - when I checked it was a known symptom - looking good for you! Smile

AnneLovesGilbert · 05/09/2016 13:49

That's fascinating about the gums, I'll look it up and try to find out why!

I'm seriously flying blind on dates post mc as no af yet and sodding Ovia has abandoned me till I do. Gits.

If I was sure I ovulated Weds 12 days ago, if I'm not pg would you expect af/and to test this Weds?

Wait till Friday?

JulyLady7 · 06/09/2016 11:19

If you can test tomorrow, test tomorrow Anne, you never know!

I'll officially be late if AF doesn't arrive by Friday, but the way I'm feeling, I'm really doubting it! I've had cramps this morning and just really feel that AF is on the way. It's disappointing as it happened first time last time, but I wonder if my body has changed after mc?
The doctor said mc doesn't work that way and the fact I've ovulated, things should have 'reset' themselves. I know I'm being unreasonable as it can take up to a year, so I really do need to be patient.

My luteal phase can sometimes be 13 days, but is usually 12. DH doesn't want us to test until it's a week late as we are going away this weekend and he thinks the arrival of AF is a softer blow than taking the test and it coming back negative - I'm a nervous wreck waiting.

Would love some happy BFP news on this thread! Good luck everyone! x

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/09/2016 12:19

Your DH sounds lovely, glad you've got good support and hope you have a really nice weekend away, whatever happens!

I nearly tested this morning but couldn't remember where I'd put my stash of tests! We've just moved and nothing's where it should be! Might poas tomorrow...

I feel really calm today. Fell asleep on the sofa about 9pm, no appetite, low level nausea and feel slightly fevery, but calm and in a good mood. My boobs are definitely shrinking though! Dh is very concerned Wink

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/09/2016 12:20

Oh, and being patient sounds sensible, but also absolutely sucks. No need to be patient here Flowers

jaffacakes16 · 06/09/2016 12:32

Hi all I've been peeing on sticks like a mad woman recently...all negative. I seem to loose all sense around this time. I was temping and my bbt would suggest not preggers and it's usually quite reliable. I think I'm 10 dpo and Cd 32 :(

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/09/2016 12:57

Hey jaffacakes, sorry you're feeling a bit wonky. If you're only 10dpo can you tell yourself you won't test again for another couple of days? Just give yourself a break from it?

jaffacakes16 · 06/09/2016 13:10

Anne I'm trying....I said I'd wait till Thursday but have a first response in the house calling me! I am an addict it's ridiculous! Funny thing is last month when I was pregnant I didn't test every day/symptom spot, I think I'm putting myself under pressure because of the mc
