This 2ww is dragging even more than usual, I'm only on cd18 of a 33day cycle Sad

Anyone else in the 2ww needing some support?

Still no AF yet but not tested since Tues when I got a bfp. Xmas sometimes messes my cycle up so must've ovulated a lot later than I thought. Trying not to get my hopes up too much. Boobs are mildly sore but nothing much, not as much as when pre-menstrual which they were a few days back. Not going to waste any more money on a test for now, even though it will be hard not to! Just can't face seeing another blank square!

SophieGiroux · 12/01/2017 22:12

I mean tues was bfn not bfp!

I'm out - AF arrived this morning. Didn't even get to test- on a positive saved some money! It's just so disappointing. Going to drown my sorrows later. Anyone recommend where they got a good thermometer? The last two I had were rubbish and broke. Hope some you guys get happy news 😌

RainbowsandLemonDrops · 13/01/2017 08:44

I think I'm out this month too... BFN immediately this morning at 11DPO and just have that gut feeling it isn't my month. 😫

Charley2016 · 13/01/2017 09:57

I feel you girls! My CM seems to be brown this morning so expecting AF today with none of the usual symptoms for it. I'm out this evening for a girls night so I will most definitely be drowning my sorrows!

AFireInside · 13/01/2017 10:40

frosty congrats!

RIGHT Ladies, January is our month. We will get BFPs! We can do it!!! Positive thinking and plenty of DTD Wink.
My bbt is rising but Ive only done it 3x days so can't really draw any conclusions.
CD3 today, AF needs to do one. It has been really heavy since coming off the pill, I'm shocked!

AFireInside · 13/01/2017 10:40

Oh no someone close has just announced she is pregnant. Sad

Chickenkatsu · 13/01/2017 10:46

We are too, going to try IVF if this doesn't work

AFireInside · 13/01/2017 11:06

blondie mine is from Amazon, it's the babymad hot pink one. Cheap and doing the job well atm.

Blondienut · 13/01/2017 13:47

Thanks AFireInside will check that one out.

Yes positive mental attitude. I have made an acupuncture appointment for Monday with a fertility specialist- not because I thinking the worst but just to destress me and download.. I will report back !

Mumh3art16 · 13/01/2017 14:33

Hi I'm new to all of this but have been stalking the site for a while 😳
I'm in the TWW but af is due 20th,
Having symptoms though not much, stomach cramps, constipation then loose stools, increase in smell a bit of nausea, tiredness, indigestion (tho only a little). I've not been wanting to sound like a weirdo to friends so only told my partner but this ttc malarkey is hard and this is my first cycle.

Mumh3art16 · 13/01/2017 14:34

I also did the OPKs from amazon and didn't have one positive so just dtd a lot!

RainbowsandLemonDrops · 13/01/2017 19:34

My SIL had my beautiful nephew 10 months ago and is pregnant again... she announces it to me like this (the exact words) "it really isn't that hard to get pregnant, just look at me!)

I feel shit it's coming up to a year that we've been trying. DP has a DD from a previous relationship, I just feel like a failure right now Sad

Good luck ladies, lots of baby dust to all. Flowers

SophieGiroux · 13/01/2017 23:43

AF arrived today so I'm out.
Think next month I need to up my game and invest in OPK and thermometers etc as its been a few months now. Weird that I got ovulation pains 16 days ago, thought it would be 14. Need to DTD for a bit longer after getting it I think next time. Would ideally like a girl though so wanted to DTD before ovulation as supposed to be a better chance of conceiving a girl then. Do the OPK tell you when you are close to ovulating or just when you have?

AFireInside · 14/01/2017 09:13

Sophie from my understanding, the OPKs turn darker than the control line when you are ovulating. Tracking your bbt can tell when you have ovulated.

OnNaturesCourse · 14/01/2017 11:35

just jumping in as woke this morning with crampy pains in lower right of my belly... I'm in my first 2ww but I think AF is going to appear. Just need somewhere to get the frustration out... was beginning to think I had been one of the lucky ones as my boobs has ached for two days straight. Sucks.

Mumh3art16 · 14/01/2017 11:56

Onnaturescourse I thought that was a positive sign 😳 I've had this for about a week and it doesn't feel like the usual period pains.
I've got 6 days to go until af so 🙏🏻 like crazy. Good luck xx

OnNaturesCourse · 14/01/2017 12:02

mumh so did I, well the boob ache anyway but the cramps this morning put a dampener on my hopeful mood. I'm 4 dpo and on my first cycle post BC so I can only roughly guess that AF is due next Friday (6 days) Strange to be crampy so early but it's been 11 years since my last pre BC AF so I'm struggling to remember what my AF symptoms were like!

Good luck to you love xxx

Mumh3art16 · 14/01/2017 12:15

Onnaturescourse ahhhh due the same day - hopefully that'll be a day of BFPs!!!

OnNaturesCourse · 14/01/2017 12:34

FX mumh

I'm trying my hardest not to symptom spot for pregnancy or AF. Need to find a distraction!

Mumh3art16 · 14/01/2017 12:37

It's so bloody hard isn't it... thankfully I've got course work to do so that's "meant" to be a distraction but..... 🙊
I just keep telling myself at least I can drown my sorrows with vino if the af comes x

stepmum88 · 14/01/2017 12:47

If it makes anyone feel better, I had no symptoms at all, and got this this morning......

Any 2ww buddies?
OnNaturesCourse · 14/01/2017 12:48

lucky, I'm not a big drinker due to my health. I guess I'll treat myself to a mountain of chocolate if/when it arrives!

Do let me know how you get on. Grin

OnNaturesCourse · 14/01/2017 12:50

congratulations stepmum !

when was it you tested? before or after AF due date? cx

Booboomoogooboo · 14/01/2017 12:51

Rainbows* that sucks. What a thing for your SIL to say. Flowers
