2 week wait - again!

[catlover1987]

It's that time of the month again. The dreaded two week wait. 3rd month of trying and 1st month using ovulation kits.

Last month I convinced myself I was pregnant and obviously wasn't so trying not to do that this month.

Finding the whole process very draining to be honest. DH and I don't have very high sex drives. We're normally once a week people and are both fine with that. So having to do the deed when neither of us really want to is not as fun as I'd hoped! But we managed 3 times in ovulation week this month so fingers crossed.

Anyone else want a 2ww buddy?

That's charley ! Yes let's hope for lots of festive babies ! I just overthink things cause me and my hubby have left it late 36 and 43 !

Plenty people have had babies a lot later. I'm sure you will be completely fine my hubby is 35 in a few weeks. Hopefully we'll all have a lovely relaxed Christmas with wine and all the foods we're not allowed, forget to pee on all the sticks and get some lovely surprises!

Only first month for me so I've got no right to feel disappointed really. Sorry 36, we are 38 and 40 so I have the same concerns as you about leaving it late.
Away with DP for the night tonight to see a band, then flying to Europe for a girls weekend on Saturday and several Xmas Parties through the rest of the month so just going to eat, drink and be merry, and cross my fingers for next month x

Goodness user you would of had to have a lot of excuses for not drinking all those days! Fingers crossed for you after Xmas though last month was my first proper month trying and I was so upset! I convinced myself I was and had all the symptoms so this month I've done my OPK but that's it. Not putting in symptoms or CM in to my Ovia app as it just made me a bit insane... also now I think that because I didn't the first month, I've now though well I'm not one of the lucky ones and it might take a while so I actually feel much less stressed this month! Although I'm only just ovulating so I may be totally neurotic again by next week hahaha!

36plus- you haven't jinxed anything! I did the same thing, though mine wasn't a toy, it was a whole bloody vintage pram!!! We fell pregnant within the first month of 'not, not trying' but it was all over within two weeks and I did briefly think that I'd jinxed it all.
I'm not going to lie, there have been some lows this past couple of weeks, but today I feel like my old self again. I've got my Christmas jumper on, put the Christmas tree up in my office and played Christmas songs all day long. I'm waiting to physically to get back to normal and I'm super excited to get back on that bus and start ttc again.
To be honest, this is such a busy month I think everyone who have had BFN's or for who things haven't got to plan, will be too busy to dwell in the shiftiness of the situation for too long.
Next month is another month, with a whole lot of fun to be had in the meantime. Chin up ladies! We've got this!!

That should have said shittiness, not shiftiness! Bloody autocorrect, who does she think she is?!

Definitely not my month so this December I going have fun relax and have a few drinks, that's how I fell pregnant with my first in 2012 when I was 34, now 38 and 40 ( oh) but ditching the child at Grandparents and off to Manchester this weekend to watch The Pixies and hit the shops.

Have a good month ladies and congratulations to those who are "Knocked up "

What a difference half a day makes

yeah it can make a lot of difference, better get to dtd as you may still have a small time window if you have recently ov'd!

Lily and 36... I'm 38 too and ttc number two. Have been since Aug.
Enjoy the pixies!!! Am a teensy bit well jel!

We've done sat, mon, tue, wed and tonight so fingers crossed. Although I'm not optimistic or getting my hopes up this month

Ok ladies I'm really confused now.... woke this morning with stabbing pains in my left ovary area of my stomach. I thought I was maybe actually feeling ovulation (haven't noticed this before, normally just get back pain at either side). I've just been to the toilet and there was a streak of very bright blood when I wiped! Now worried that I haven't actually ovulated and all my BD has been for nothing!

Charley some people do get bleeding with ovulation. It would be a very short cycle if af was starting already yeah?

Yeh I'm only CD14, which is when i normally ovulate so thought everything was right on track. Was just that one little streak and nothing since, pain has stopped too

Hmm just done another OPK and got this..... which is strange as it was just a squinted last night after my positive in the morning...

Hi can I join? Currently on my first 2ww and it's kind of caught me off guard how all consuming this ttc business is! Currently on cd19 and wondering how early I can take a test? Is it better to wait and see if I'm late before testing?

Charley a little bleed with ovulation can happen, it means your fertile so get doing the deed!!

Kepler- yes! Wait! If at all possible, wait. I know that's easier said than done, but you'll drive yourself mad if you test super early!

Eek fingers crossed! We DTD sat, mon, tue, wed, thur..... Said I wouldn't get excited or symptom spot this month, lets see how long that lasts haha!

Kepler try not test, although if you're the type of person who POAS all the time like me then you will regardless haha!

Been pretty cranky since yesterday and teary. Also think i'm coming down with cold, feeling pretty rough. Oh and thirsty, not sure if that's from getting ill though. I was debating whether to have a glass of wine with my sister tomo but decided i can't put life on hold just yet so will be enjoying one with a long overdue catch up x

Are you about 6dpo now? Don't stress, have a wine I've just had a bottle of red! Enjoy

My OPKs are still positive... surely shouldn't still be after 40hrs? Worrying I haven't ovulated now and my body's just being strange

are they definitely still as dark as control line?

Yes i'm gonna have some wine - i would only be annoyed if af shows and i was boring all xmas month!

Yep i'm about 6dpo now, still quite cranky and sore which is unusual but we will see i guess x

It was very slightly lighter, but it's gone this morning just hoping that the egg didn't take so long that we missed it.....

Yeh I'm the same with the drinking! Until I get a positive I'm just going to act as normal, like you say if it's negative we'd be annoyed. I also don't want family to see me not drinking, assume I'm pregnant and start asking, and then it turns out I'm not! When do you think you will test?

Hmmm, cd34 here, af two days late, have poas for two days now and all bfn. Boo. Trying not to symptom spot but have sore boobs and had some stinging cramps the other night that have now gone away
