2ww buddies?

[mummabear30]

So I'm just starting that dreaded two week wait anybody wanting to join? And give some morel support?

[youngmummy3105]

Hope you don't mind me joining I am currently 11 dpo and have sore boobs, nausea and back pains. Today I have a headache too! I have been to the toilet and wiped and I have brown stained cm/blood. Is this AF or implantation?x

[Hopelessworrier84]

Thank you. I'm now freaking out generally about my cycle being abnormal and my AF only being 1/2 days long. Trip to the GP for me I think.

[Downbutnotyetout]

hopeless I had the same issues with Ovia. You can change the cycle length in settings which helps identify the fertile window (mine was earlier than I thought....)

[Oysterbabe]

Cross post.
Yes 14 / 15 days is normal.

[Oysterbabe]

Well the luteal phase is just the period between ovulation and af. The length of it can vary but is rarely longer than 14 days. Usually if people have long cycles it means they ovulated late as the length of the luteal phase is usually the same every month.
If you ovulated on day 11 then af should be due about CD25. I was confused when you said you were 14dpo but AF not due until Saturday.

[Hopelessworrier84]

Okay, ive researched. Ovia keeps trying to make me have 28 day cycles so it said I was due Saturday but actually I am due today/tomorrow. It would make my luteal 14/15 days each month which I don't think is that abnormal...is it? Hopefully that's no bad thing. Onwards to next month..x

[Hopelessworrier84]

oysterbabe
Can you explain how I know about my luteal phase please? This is my first time ttc so I'm all a bit confused. I have a 25/26 day cycle and AF is usually only 2 days. I got a peak opk on cycle day 11... I've no idea about luteal?

[Oysterbabe]

Sorry hopeless
I'm surprised af wasn't due until Saturday though, do you always usually have a long luteal phase?

[Hopelessworrier84]

I'm out. AF came early. Ffs.

[Oysterbabe]

Good luck Hopeless!
I'm 10DPO too Mumma and not testing until 15DPO. It really depends how you feel about a BFN, they really get me down so I'd prefer to get my period instead. I generally wait until I'm a day late before I consider testing.

[Hotpinkangel19]

@mummabear30 Good luck! Not sure I could hold out! X

[mummabear30]

Baby dust to everyone so scared not sure if I should hold out x

[Hopelessworrier84]

Congrats DappledThings and sending best wishes mummabear30

I'm 14 dpo today and due AF on Saturday. Will test tomorrow as can't wait any longer. Please, please all send positive thoughts x

[mummabear30]

So ultra sound went well... lining is 10.5 would you say that right 10dpo trying to hold out to test but think I may have to use my first response tomorrow getting impatient 😥

[DappledThings]

Sorry to those out for the month. I wasn't expecting it this month on only 2nd cycle after DS took 2 years so I know how disheartening it is to go through so many 2ww.

Just in case it works for anyone else I do massively recommend the expensive OPKs, the ones with the flashing then solid smiley face. They've worked for us 3 times now. Lots of luck to everyone

[Downbutnotyetout]

I think I'm out too. BFN on a clear blue this morning and I have some red spotting. Due AF tomorrow so looks like that's the way I'm going. Obviously gutted, but also left questioning my sanity because I have had such nausea for the last few days which has been my indicator in the past. Am left very confused about my body!

[WineAndTiramisu]

Got heavier... AF here to stay I think, we'll have to meet up next month!

[Wantingbabywilliams1]

Congratulations!
@Wineandtiramisu af arrived this morning for me too, although if it's only spotting you might not be out yet? Hope the trip away helped you not to go too mad

[WineAndTiramisu]

Flossy and picked both look positive to me, congratulations!

AF 2 days away, but had some light spotting today, which has never happened before... Maybe I'm just going to be early this month, joy...!

[mummabear30]

Feeling abit disheartened as feeling af is coming along slowly I think just the general think I have convinced myself I'm not that's for sure x

[pickledsausage]

Have been looking at this all day, think I might have a squinter too...

[Flossylolly85]

So I'm not imagining it then?! Are the pink dye ones the first response ones??
I used Ovia and because I ovulate late and don't have regular cycles they always got my dates wrong. The best app I've used is Clue, that has predicted my dates in line with my opks to a day despite my late ovulation and irregular periods

[Hopelessworrier84]

Oysterbabe thank you. Do you use any other apps? I also have Glow but the dates on there are always a couple of days earlier than Ovia. Confusing.

[Oysterbabe]

I'd wait worrier. Ovia tries to make me test early too, patience Ovia!

[Oysterbabe]

Looks good to me flossy. I'd get a pink dye test to try tomorrow.
