2ww buddies?

[mummabear30]

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

[Mammabear31]

Thabks ickle. BFN this morning, how wonderful.

I tried talking to my best friend about it last night and she just kept going on that I shouldn't be testing and that I should wait until AF is late. She totally does not get it (And I don't hold it against her, she's not been through any of this so if course she won't get it at all) but it makes it hard to talk to her, or anyone really.

Has anyone been to a fertility specialist yet? Waiting on an appointment with the hospital and have no idea what to expect.

[DappledThings]

Mammabear sorry for BFN. But you're not out for his month I don't think.

I had various appts in 2014/15. All a bit vague really. I saw an endocrinologist who said I was fine, a fertility specialist who just told me to have more sex (err, thanks) and then the Assisted Conception Unit which said we needed IVF. Then I was pregnant and found out a week before first IVF appt. My issue was that it took about 18 months to get depo fully out of my system and I don't think I was ovulating at all all that time but all the specialists didn't listen to me saying that. Hope you have a better experience.

Finally got positive opks Sunday and Monday so tww officially starts today!!

[DappledThings]

Hopeless so you asked about my spreadsheet. It's a work of art! Has one sheet which is a list of every day, CM, results of OPKs and pregnancy tests from 25/04/14 to July 16 when I had 12 week scan with DS. Then sheet 2 has a table which shows average cycle length plus average time of first seeing EWCM over both times of trying. Did I mention I was a touch obsessive?! Never attached a pic before, will see if this works

What CD did everyone ovulate on? X

[Downbutnotyetout]

Hello all, I am doing 2ww as well and I hate it! We are cycle 2 of actively ttc no 3. I have a 3.4 yo and lost a baby (sadly we had to time) last Oct. I got pregnant pretty easially last 2 times but after what happened I am putting a lot of pressure on myself to be pregnant ASAP. I am super overweight and older now, I seem to be ovulating early-ish which isn't ideal. I don't feel pregnant yet but still hopeful. Will be testing in 8 or 9 days. Any suggestions for distractions on my 2 hour round trip commute (rather than obsessively googling early pregnancy symptoms) would be most welcome...

Mostly am planning what I will do differently next month to help me manage the possible disappointment.

Also do you all go alcohol free during tww? I have dinner plans with colleagues tomorrow night and not sure if I can / should drink.

[Hopelessworrier84]

DappledThings this is definitely a work of art! I'm very jealous and going to start one immediately. Thank you ever so much for sharing xx

[Busymee]

For those who want to track and keep logs of info I have the maya app on my phone it's pretty good for that, shows a monthly calendar of your cycle and updates you daily on what your body is doing it's quite good, you can make notes on each day x

[ERog84]

KR24** I'm 11dpo today! It's driving me mad, have you had any symptoms that you don't usually get?

[KR24]

EROg84 11dpo as well today !! And had a few different things but wouldn't say too much different from AF although was up town today and kept commenting on certain smells that then turned out no one else could smell, probably my mind doing overtime though lol. Do you have any ? I've not had any spotting either which is assosciated with implantation which is a bit of a downer have you had this ?

[Hotpinkangel19]

@KR24 I've had 3 children and only had implantation bleeding once. I wouldn't worry about that xx

[KR24]

Thanks @Hotpinkangel ! Gives me a little bit of hope x

[Wantingbabywilliams1]

@Downbutnotyetout I choose not to drink or as little as possibleduring the 2ww, which is extremely hard as we go to the pub once a week with my DHs family! I know they are on the look out for "pregnancy signs" from me so it's very awkward haha.

In terms of keeping busy I started listening to audio books (audible free trial) to keep my brain occupied when no one is about!

[Flossylolly85]

Hi ladies,

Mind if I join in too, I'm 10dpo and going crazy! Pretty sure af is going to show up as usual tomorrow (will be cd28) as have all the normal signs. Have managed to put off testing yet, which is a first! If no af going to wait until saturday which will be 14dpo as DH works away and not back till then.

[ERog84]

KR24 I had cramped no yesterday, and dull achy feeling in my lower abdomen and ovaries today. Feel bloated and like it's pulling. This time in my cycle I normally have nothing so and crossing my fingers and toes!

[KR24]

@ERog84 fingers crossed !! when are you planning to test ?

[ERog84]

@KR24 My head is saying to wait until Friday at least but the rest of me wants to test every time I go to the toilet!!

[Flossylolly85]

@KR24 and @ERog24 I'm roughly at the same stage as you, but don't ovulate until late day 17/18 ( had positive CB on fri 31st so 10/11 dpo). What day do you ovulate on, I'm worried I'm ovulating too late

[KR24]

@ERog84 stay strong I can be your testing buddy on Friday !!

[ERog84]

@KR24 So I couldn't wait.....

[MummyBearToOne1988]

I see it... congratulations. How many dpo ?

[Mammabear31]

Me neither.....11 dpo, cycle 14 is a winner!!!

[Mammabear31]

Congratulations Erog84!!

[KR24]

@ERog84 congrats !! I see a faint second line, did you do that this morning at 12dpo?

[DappledThings]

Definitely lines on both ERog and Mammabear. Congrats!
