Needing some 2WW buddies.

[OnNaturesCourse]

Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

pingu do not panic if you don't get 2-3wks. I only got it today and I'm 4+3. Yesterday's test was 1-2wks.

passmethewine sorry you're having the same AF abuse 😓 , taking nurofen and having a hot water bottle didn't even touch the sides of it 😞 I've only gotten period pains this awful since the MC and this is only my 2nd cycle so hopefully it will settle back to normal soon.

I catch myself getting on the verge of obsession in the last few days of the 2ww but I'm proud to say I didn't use up any HPT! WOOP! Just waited for AF to arrive and only peed on one OPK.

Oh Nature what CD are you now?? I hope you're body figures itself out soon but I would try not to worry too much. It's usually more of a concerning thing if you're bleeding when you're not meant to 🙁. Also your comment made me lol! Being frightened to sleep next to a boy just in case! hehehe!

Pingu Hoorayyyyy :) Glad to hear you're getting darker lines. I hope in a few weeks time your booking appointment all goes swiftly.

teaandbics so sweet to hear your DH's reaction ❤️. I can imagine this is a happy, emotional and nerve wracking moment. I hope your cold buggers off soon though. Sorry to hear you had to go through everything yesterday for your booking but I must admit I'm glad to hear you're being looked after from the start. xx

Thank you ladies for letting me know what apps you use! Though they sound far more in depth than my little budget/2-bit app! hehe.. Plus I feel I'm like an old dog that can't be taught any new tricks anymore so best stick to what I know! 😁

To all the ladies who have got their BFP's this week let it be happy and healthy pregnancies :)

Hi all! Just a quick update! More discharge came on at 10 this morning. Bit redder, and although only on wiping it was heavier, so put a tampon in... Nada, just slight color on it.😡 Im CD 29, or 1... As im not sure if this is just light which would be concerning

Oh dear nature, what is going on? How confusing for you

Thanks for the CB digi warnings I did get 2-3 today though (4+5 but late ovulation) so feeling better.

I thought it might help others to share what we did this cycle: DTD on the day of ovulation (tracked with CB monitor) and two days before, plus a few other random times that probably didn't matter. Laid on my back for at least 20 mins after but didn't stick my legs in the air. I didn't have any symptoms before my squinter BFP at 11DPO except a distinctive stitch like pain near my left ovary at 10 DPO. If I hadn't been pregnant previously and had the same I probably would have ignored it. Since my BFP I've felt nauseous a lot, a bit tired and had some crazy dreams.

Thanks pingu for the info- i have stitch like pain on my right side, backache, crazy dreams etc (& think my left nipple secreted a drop of liquid this morning!) BUT tested and BFN (10dpo on FRER). Argh

Nature hope something happens for you today, either way. It's the not knowing that I find the worst 😞

Thanks guys. Since last night i seem to be in full flow so fingers crossed it behaves and is over in 2-3 days. Ive been distant on here, and internet in general, as I've been so worried. I'd have ended up googling and then it telling me I was horrifically ill or dying.. Love internet doctors! So what's all new? I see some BFP which is great and a few new joins (hello!) Are we all sticking it out for next cycle? DP and I decided not to take a break from trying until the following month so I'll be here! With all the discharge etc I'm counting myself as CD 3 and rolling with that!! Xxx

nature sorry you're having a rough time of it. I will be sticking around. Almost bought a nursery furniture set, just because it was a bargain! My oldest dd keeps asking when can she get a baby brother or sister , says I should try harder. Don't think she quite has a handle on how babies are made 😆.

Aghh Nature sorry it wasn't good news for you but on the plus side fingers crossed this is the start of your cycles regulating!

I'm having a bit of a zen moment today. After reading a couple of other threads on here where people are finding themselves a bit overcome with the crazy of TTC and also with my own experience of becoming a little bit obsessed last month I feel a sort of calm has come over me. I've been thinking about how much I have to be thankful for, I have an amazing partner who is my soul mate and best friend, we both have wonderful supportive families, and brilliant friends. We are lucky to live in a really beautiful part of world, in a nice house with nice things. Of course it would be amazing to have a child but if it doesn't happen for us then so be it - our lives are rich and fulfilled in so many other ways and will continue to be so without a baby. I need to just remind myself of this and chill out. Feels good to write it down 🙂

And af is starting. Boobs are so sore and burning nipples but it seems Mother Nature just loves to trick us by making my BFP symptoms identical to my BFN ones too. Feel like a good cry

Ssh I had burning/throbbing nipples and aching boobs this AF too, new symptoms for me as well and just confirms that I can't trust a single thing my body does. It's all lies!!!

Got that af fed up feeling now. It makes you feel so awful in your ttc journey. Bleughhh

Awww shhh 😞 our bodys are tricksters, i almost dont trust mine at all now im TTC.

Nature I feel a bit beaten down. Af is painful too and whilst I have had two seemingly ok 28day cycles straight off the pill I still worry all will take a while to get back to normal.

Ladies, whats the update and whose heading into the fertile week with me?! baby dust baby dust baby dust

shh got you on the other forum but hope youre feeling better today?

Morning ladies,

How is everyone doing? AF was horrendous these last few days! Clashed with putting my back out, having my birthday & a whole load of family stresses! Not good! Felt very sorry for DH who couldn't understand why I was just bursting into tears without any obvious trigger!

So I'm glad last week is done with! I'm starting this week with a positive attitude! Aiming to eat well, exercise, sleep well & get myself feeling good for ovulation week!

So sorry for all the crap AF's, seems like we've all had a bit of a shit couple of weeks. I'll be starting my FW on Sunday but ditching the opks and temping this month and just going to DTD for a week or so and hope for the best 😊

AJ you sound like youve been through the mill. I hope everything's ok? Xx

passme my window is meant to be from Thur but after AF playing funny buggers she stopped but has started with some red blood today and cramps so bad i came home early thats 6 days now, she needs to pack her bags!

Hi all, hope that those of you suffering with vicious AFs are getting past the worst of it.

Is anyone left to test? grumpysquirrel your symptoms sounded hopeful, any update?

Best of luck to those of you entering fertile week, enjoy the BDing!
