That 2WW time again, wishing the days away!

[AutumntoWinter]

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!

[AnneLovesGilbert]

That makes total sense. Your hopes will be higher this cycle for all sorts of reasons, not least hoping that everything's okay. Sending you

too if you need it!

[AnneLovesGilbert]

I sort of knew last cycle and felt quite calm about testing. I remember how bloody amazing it felt, I burst into tears and threw myself on DH. I want that again, and for it to stick, not to feel like I knew again this month but was actually wrong and starting to lose it!

Which is why I'm not testing.

....But probably will tomorrow.

[JulyLady7]

Ah, JaffaCakes16 I know exactly how you feel! I wasn't counting down days and symptom spotting last time - I simply knew because of the temperature and found out after that. Now I'm analysing every twinge. Well, bright side is there is only so long this can last for; hopefully bfp's. Knowing myself, a bfp would be the beginning of a very anxious time after the loss. Sigh. Hoping for sticky beans for everyone. x

[jaffacakes16]

Thanks guys. Im looking forward to bfp's on this thread. Going by the stats there's bound to be one this month at least. Fingers crossed for everyone!

[jaffacakes16]

I'm officially out, just started bleeding. Gutted but at least I'm not in limbo anymore. Wine and chocolate required tonight.

[AnneLovesGilbert]

Oh jaffacakes

xxxx

[Alb1]

So sorry jaffa

sorry I'm a little behind. AF is due today but no sign yet, still got ewcm, bfn yesterday tho so I assume il come on later tonight or in the morning

[AnneLovesGilbert]

Will you test again Alb? Fx AF stays gone!

I don't know when AF is due as had mc last cycle but it doesn't feel like it's going to show anytime soon. Might poas in the morning but got myself all stressed about how sad I'm going to be about a bfn.

Does anyone know when you should expect AF after a mc?

[jaffacakes16]

Anne this was my first cycle since and it showed on day 32. Who knows though - could be anytime! Do you know what cycle day you're on (the docs seem to count mc as day 1)?

[AnneLovesGilbert]

I'm so sorry you're out this month. It's shit. That's all there is to it.

Ah, well that's helpful. So as if it was a period? That makes me currently CD22 and I usually have a 24ish day cycle. Hadn't even thought of that, just been flying blind. And when I spoke to the doc I was bawling so didn't ask a single sensible question.

[JulyLady7]

Sorry jaffacakes16 but like you say, at least you're not in limbo and new cycle, new chance.

Anne, they say it can take 4-6 weeks to expect af after mc. It was 30 days from the start of bleeding to my next cycle for me.

[AnneLovesGilbert]

Thanks july. It's so hard to know what might happen and useful to know other people's experiences.

I definitely thought I ovulated as it felt like I usually do. But I'll try not to get my hopes up and see what happens.

How are you doing?

[JulyLady7]

I think it's good to be positive. Plenty of people have gotten bfp's the cycle after mc.

I'm doing ok. Cramping and no signs so I think af will arrive on Friday as expected! How about you?

[Alb1]

How's everyone doing? AF was due Tuesday but still not here and BFN, keep thinking iv come one but then it's just loads of Ewcm (sorry TMI) so kinda confused, I'm never late!

[KittyWindbag]

I've just begin my 2ww.

Really hoping it works this time. Had only one true positive OPK and DTD the day of as well as the day before.

Hours after DTD I had mittelschmerz pains but they were very light this month, usually they're more of an all day, hurts to sit down too quick kid of pain.

Hoping Hoping Hoping.

[AnneLovesGilbert]

Any sign of AF July? You're still in till it shows up!

Alb, never TMI round these parts! I think being late is the best sign, will you just keep testing? Still no sign today?

I'm doing okay. Manically busy with work and recent house move which is helping. Had mild cramping last night but doesn't really feel like af symptoms. Still smelling everything and nausea, though at different times of the day and gets better when I eat.

I tested on Wednesday and not since. We have a crazy weekend ahead and I could use a glass (just the one in case!) of decent wine so I think I'm going to wait till Monday morning and test then if still not come on.

[JulyLady7]

Hey Anne, no sign as yet, but I really feel it coming. Away with DH for a wedding this weekend, I expect it any minute now, I feel exactly how I do on the day she usually arrives. I'll let you know!

Your symptoms sound great. May just be too early to test as yet. As you say, not out till AF shows.

Good luck ladies!

[JulyLady7]

Here's hoping with you Kitty!

[AnneLovesGilbert]

Also hoping with you Kitty! It's a funny thing isn't it, I was on the pill for years and it was a complete shock getting pain in the middle of the month AS WELL as for over a week with period. I've always had it but had totally forgotten.

[jaffacakes16]

Just catching up here after a few days away. Was hoping there would be a bfp for someone by now. Sounds like everyone else is still in the mix though so keeping fingers crossed.

I'm having a month off temping and opks it was just adding to my stress levels. It's like a constant reminder every morning, I know roughly when I'm due to ovulate so will just work around that this month.

[AnneLovesGilbert]

Hey jaffacakes, I got one! A couple of days ago but as I never got AF post mc last cycle I couldn't quite believe it so gave it a few days and tested again. Feeling awful which feels like a really good sign

Sounds like your approach is good, take the pressure off. You can temp again if you want to but take a break for this cycle. Hope you get your bfp very soon x

[JulyLady7]

Oh Anne! I'm soooooo happy for you! Hopefully, I'll be joining you, no sign of AF as yet. Indulging DH by not testing until Friday. Fingers crossed. Congratulations. That's made my day! x

[jaffacakes16]

Congratulations!!!! I welled up reading this, I love a happy story. I'm currently having a glass of wine so will toast your bfp

Here's hoping the rest of us join you soon :)

so I'm new to this app but I need advice!!
I've been on the pill for around 8 years, I came off it nearly two months ago. I had the usual withdrawal bleed, then I had my first period 12th August. I hit peak fertility on 30th. I'm then due on Friday just gone so now 3 days late. I had cramps so thought I was bound to come on but nothing. I couldn't wait so I had to test straight away! NEGATIVE! I have now done 3 tests  I've been feeling sick, sensitive to smells, tired, hungry, and slight cramping still!
I feel like I'm driving myself insane and annoying my partner with how obsessed with it I'm becoming!
Sorry for the essay
PS I'm not quite down with the abbreviations you all use. Xx

Im not 100% when i ovulated as last month it was ewcm, pains and positive opk and all very obvious. This month it was all a bit vague but if it was when the app predicted then im 2dpo. Havent dtd much though so that combined with uncertain ovulation, there isnt much excitement in this 2ww camp!
