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

shedances welcome... Sorry to hear of MC and things not happening as quick as youd like 😕😩 perhaps you will be blessed on your due date. Do you plan on testing this month? Xx

rufus welcome. I agree its the not knowing whats going on in there thats frustrating. It feels like i dont trust my own body at times! I hope your family are now well? Xx

tea welcome, come on in. I cant even begin to think about your experiences with your little one, it must be so hard for you and your family. 💔 How is your first born doing, well i hope? We do seem to have a lot of losses in here so im hoping we get given extra baby dust to share! Do you have a date when youd like to test? Xx

emsler welcome in! We will try to support you in not poas too early or often... But know its hard not to. Im only in the first week post ovulation and i am already eyeing up my stash of tests!

nature thank you, DS and DH seem better for now, I've still got the cough and can't sleep 🙄

My sore boobs are gone 😥. Come back sore boobs, it was the symptom that I had with DS in the 2WW that I didn't have with any other cycle.

rufus hopefully you feel better soon. Last month i had sore boobs from ovulation right through to AF, and my temp stayed high, but woke this morning and the achy boobs have gone plus my temp has dropped over the last few days so im keeping my hopes low. Ive got the start of a cold too😷 cx

nature, thank you. Yes, it's been a heartbreaking time for us all to lose our baby boy so late, and starting again down the ttc journey is very hard. I know it must be for all the ladies here who have suffered losses. My little boy is doing pretty well, bless him. He's only 3, so the enormity of what happened hasn't hit him. But he comes out with things every now and then which make us realise how much he does understand and how hard it has been for him . Thank you for asking

Hmm...well I'd like to wait until at least 19th to test. But I'm terrible and start twitching once I get past 8 or 9 days so I'll need a lot of taking down!! You're aiming for 18th aren't you?

tea yeah, they are very observative even at such a young age. XxX Im aiming for 18th, i took another ovulation test today as my temperature dropped this morning and it came back with a faint test line so im not sure whats going on. 😕

They really are.

That's strange isn't it? Was it an IC? I did have a couple of months of opks (clearblue damned flashing face!) showing me as ovulating twice in a month but my body was all out of whack after I lost my baby. Are you going to test again?

Ill maybe test again tomorrow night. I had a peak CB test and IC 4-5 days ago but maybe the egg didnt fall? It was a IC this morning, spur of the moment thing x

nature - just a thought; I've read that opks can detect pregnancy hormones, but it'd be pretty early for that wouldn't it? Could just dtd anyway, so you're covered? It can't hurt!

Sorry posts crossed. Yes maybe that's it. Testing again makes sense.

Can I join too? I'm only 2 dpo and not really sure when to test as my cycles have been all over the place since coming off the pill in August. I only know I ovulated this month due to having a peak smiley face on the clear blue test! Not sure when to test really! I'm slightly worried I'm getting my hopes up a bit as this is our first month TTC. I wish I was one of those people who could just relax and see what happens!

nature on natural cycles I can get 3 rounds of positive opks but that is because of my PCOS. I don't ovulate with any of them. Have you got PCO?

tea ill just need to keep a eye on it see if it increases. DP is loving all the baby dancing, normally after ovulation i hate it as my boobs hurt too much but the ache is gone today! I might need to delay my pg test x

rufus never diagnosed, no. I have had cysts before though 😕

Hi purple id test 10-14 days after ovulation xx

Nature... I may POAS this morning I just couldn't help myself, I knew it would be negative but was feeling down and that voice in my head said why not, it could cheer you up!

It doesn't help that I have loads of tests lying around thanks Boots and their 3 for 2 last time I popped in to buy 1... When I got my BFP last time I didn't actually test until 3 days after AF was due. I have obviously lost all restraint xx

shedances sorry about the BFN , that said its still very early for you. Definitely not out the game just yet. Boots got me with that deal too so i have lots lying about but i must resist!

Hello purple and shedances. Hi everyone else.

shedances sorry about your bfn but early days so fingers crossed. Just wanted to say that your are not alone in the no restraint stakes. Last month I stopped myself from buying any tests before 12dpo after the previous month of testing madness. But the urge to poas, any kind of stick, was way too strong so I was using my opks as that was all I had in the house...me and restraint are not good friends

nature that sounds like a good plan. Ha, yes I'm sure DH is happy! Let us know how the opks go

Sorry to hear about the bfn shedances. How many dpo are you?

I'm 8 dpo tomorrow and know I'll not resist testing tomorrow morning. Don't feel pregnant in the slightest but bought a shed load of those cheap one step tests on Amazon which keep staring at me from the bathroom cabinet. Are they a bit useless though? I've read mixed things...

Also does anyone use conceive plus or anything like that? We used it for the first time this month. Just wondered if you used it every time you DTD if using solely to aide conception or whether just during the fertile period? Not that it matters but at £18 a pop I'm not wanting to splash it around liberally! X

So sad to hear all the losses in this thread :( (Welsh, NannyGR, Pingu, Shedances, emsler and teaandbics I cannot even imagine how hard it must have been to lose your boy so late ) but it gives me so much faith that we're all here supporting and staying positive together after sadness and hearthache. Fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes all crossed for all us 2wwaiters!

Onnatures I'm trying so hard to not get my hopes up too! I hope you don't mind me asking but why do you plan to take a 2 month break?

I'm symptom spotting like crazy too :S have had mild constant cramping since last night and carried on today.. I'm comparing my dates/symptoms to the last time I was pregnant too ahh!

I'm actually planning to test on the 24th!! (one day after my AF due date). It's the only way I can think to do it without sitting and squinting at early hpts for days on end! I'd rather just have a definite negative or positive plus saving the pennies on hpts :S

Also teaandbics for the first time I used an OPK this cycle (boots own) to track my ovulation after my MC and showed that I potentially ovulated twice too, first time I thought oh crap I may have JUST missed the boat (as it looked like I had ovulated WAY early) but then I carried on testing the following days out of curiosity and it peaked again. Ah well it has a mind of it's own at the moment..

welsh DH and I took preconception support vitamins his and hers (boots own) on our first cycle of TTC and got pregnant straight away (though sadly ended in MMC). I've just carried on taking my prenatal vitamins throughout on the advice of the midwife and DH has taken a weeks worth of vitamins left over from that packet but we'll see what happens. Can't really compare it to anything else as we haven't had a cycle trying without :S.

Welsh I'm only 8dpo and I have a long cycle. Last time I didn't get any symptoms until 3 days before AF so realistically need to wait another 5 days before POAS. I've told myself I'll wait until AF is due as I've only got the electronic tests left that take the fun of peering at different angles for a slight glimmer of hope away!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't hold back on offers and also early POAS!
