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?

I reckon you definitely ov'd then Charley tww starts now then!

I'm very irritable and hungry, have felt this way for a few days now. Other symptoms (or not) include appetite + and cramps from cervix area.

Ooh that sounds promising Fred! Fingers crossed! Are you going to hold out on the testing?

I'm only 4dpo today, the sore nipples have gone and I'm just really tired but that's more than likely work stress the last few days.

Fly that sounds good too (the symptoms not the bfn) have you tested yet?

I tested this morning (couldn't resist) and got excited as thought i could see a squinter forming but don't think the test had settled properly so after waiting it looks pretty stark white not testing again now until at least thursday, 9dpo today x

Hi All, can I join in? This will be my first venture into a 2WW thread. I've been trying for nearly a year (on/off) but never hold out much hope. Test date will be 17 December.

Last bfn for me on Monday then af arrived. Feeling very down and sorry for myself. Only time I've ever been late I was pregnant. Boo. Time for wine and chocolate and all the other Christmas goodies. My app says I'll ov this month on xmas day! Which would be nice except we're staying with the in-laws

Welcome city! Fingers crossed for you! How are you getting on?

Fly I'm so sorry about AF! At least you can indulge over Christmas. Make sure you have all the bubble and treats you can. I'm sure you will be able to squeeze in a couple of tries at DTD over Christmas, you'll just have to imagine you're teenagers again

No news to report here. This time last month I was a bit neurotic with checking symptoms, CM etc. I think everyone secretly hopes they will fall in the first month, however this month I'm resigned to thinking it will take time, and that's probably much better for my head at least.

Hi Charley, thanks for the good wishes. Day 3 of pineapple consumption and just stressing about the potential outcome. How are you doing?

That's me back trying again and trying the ovulation sticks ! According to glo - my highest chance is Saturday, so tested tonight to see if it would pick anything up and nothing ? Any advice ? Also my period is due on Christmas .... either the best Christmas gift ever or my hubby will be getting an emotional wreak of a wife !! Lol

I'm fine city! Starting to think I wouldn't notice any symptoms even if I was pregnant as I'm shattered and hungry all the time lately and have had bad migraines but seem to of been that way for months

36 sometimes the OPKs don't pick up a surge until 12 hrs before and it can go from the lightest of lines to full on positive in the space of a few hours, so just keep going with them I do 3 a day when ovulation is close.

Charley why the migraines etc? Too much stress in TTC? Its very easy to say just let nature takes its course but yet it does get stressful.

36 I'm finding temping to be a better indicator of ovulation. I never seem to time the OPKs right (I think once in 11 months of using them). 3 a day? Blimey. Perhaps I am a bit haphazard with my use of them and more of a well the EWCM is there, my temps are up so I must be ovulating. I just sit and think all those bloody years of trying not to get pregnant and now...

I suffer migraines in general unfortunately! Sometimes up to 2 a week and they don't stop until a full nights sleep. They had been much better lately but the only thing I've found to help is botox. It's wearing off though and I don't want to get anymore as not sure if it's safe etc.

I seem to always get positives on day 12-13 so tend to do an OPK a day from day 10 then 2-3 those two days if it starts to get darker.

Oh also my CM is generally always white and never visible does get looser ov and thicker after but only slightly.

Sorry to hear about the migraines. They must be awful. Botox works? Silly question but have you tried other things for the migraines?

I've had a positive before on day 14 but never a dark line. I guess I should do it more often. My CM is usually EW or watery around ovulation time so I'm hoping that means I am still ovulating...being so old and all that.

Yeh it does surprisingly. Doesn't put them away but they are much less frequent. I've tried everything only think left was take preventatives every day but they made me feel yuck and don't want to be on constant meds at 24.

I'm sure you'll be ovulating given the temps and the CM. How are you feeling? When's AF due?

Just read up on botox and migraines so it sort of makes sense. Did you try acupuncture? I wouldn't want to take constant meds either especially when TTC.

Dunno re the ovulation. Perhaps my body could be tricking me? Currently feeling more bloated than usual but that may all be in my head. Thinking "I'm sure I've got some preg tests somewhere in the house". AF is due on 20 December.

Haha my Ovia is saying I'm due 14th, however I have no idea why as my last 2 cycles have been 27 days which would make it the 16th I was due. But I know the feeling, now that I'm sat here reading through the threads I'm sat thinking about the bag of 20 IC tests I have only 6dpo!

And now I'm thinking just one wouldn't hurt would it!
*I now need to find them...

Em..... what the hell is wrong with me

lol i started on the ic ones 2dpo haha...i'm not doing any more now fed up of squinting forever at them

Haha! Charley, just found my stash and dithering as to whether I should too!

Why does TTC make us all crazy promised myself I wouldn't this month haha

Oh my ladies ! Glad it's not just me !! It's 5:30 am and just tested again - not ovulating !! Wanted to check if I needed to wake hubby up before work lol. Right temping next week it is .... I was just I was getting the clear goopy mucus too. Think my mind is just playing tricks.... migraines, not good ! The only about botox is you shouldn't have it if your trying ( apologies if I missed this comment earlier)

We are not crazy! We're just aiming for complete body awareness and...ermmm...stuff.

Where are you 36? (Apologies if I've missed that on the thread)
