2ww buddies continues...

[lisara79]

Hi all.... as the 2ww buddies thread has got so long... thought we'd start a new one .. cd13 now... waiting for ovulation (next 2/3 days) and will then be back on the 2ww! How's everyone doing?

I mean viletta!!!!!
(Sorry lisara) :)

There's definitely a line there - congrats! First Response are good tests xx

I can definitely see a line there Viletta take a first response test just to be sure though!xx

Thank you, all! a bit paranoid about Superdrug giving false bfp.. This early testing is such a weird thing.. you think you get closer to the truth but you don't :)) will keep you posted on the updates!

Hey ladies. Sorry to those of you who have been visited by AF since I was last on here Can't believe how many posts there have been! I had pages to catch up on!

Congratulation Viletta! Such exciting news!!!

Who is still 'in'? Anyone testing soon?

Lisara, congrats on the promotion. Fab news.

Feeling really crappy tonight, I just feel like it's never gonna happen. I know I shouldn't really say it compared to how long some people have been trying for but I can't help but feel like it. I just feel like giving up for now but at the same time I don't want to, I can't cope with the heartbreak of bfns every month. Maybe my family were right and I should wait longer until my bodies fully recovered after my Mc, I thought it was until today..sorry for the depressing post ladies x

Jords - don't be down... and you need to do what's right for You, not what others think... it's tough going through the tww - emotionally, physically and spiritually... and only you know if you need a break. Give yourself a little time to think and talk to your OH - see how he feels. This is something you need to do together. You're a strong, amazing woman don't forget that x

@Jords, of course it will happen! I have worked for gyno/obstetrics and they all told me with modern medicine almost any situation can be resolved one way or another! Spring is coming and our bodies naturally get 'awaken'. Every person I know worries that they might not have one or it will take very long.. but it does happen after all! Patience and zen! Good luck next month! X all will be good, you'll see for yourself! Xx

Congrats @Viletta and @lisara79! Technically I'm still in, but I am thinking that it could just be because AF doesn't ever show... was thinking about testing again tomorrow (5days since last test) to see if there is any change.

@Jords - don't give up, just have faith that it will happen. Your body and mind just need to be in sync, and think about how worth it will be

Jords and Lisara so sorry AF got you:(
Allow yourselves a couple of days to grieve another month 'lost' but move on with hope because it WILL happen for you both.

Jords your body will allow conception when it's ready and your mind too. Can you do something extra relaxing this month to try to take your mind of things and not focus too much on ttc - yoga or a massage, even a meditation app?

Viletta - tentative congrats! Keep us posted on your progress.

Rhi - you are so not old hunni. I'm ttc #3 at almost 41 and had my first two at almost 35 & almost 37. I read recently that the AVERAGE age now in the UK for a first baby is 30 and that for the first time in history, more women over 40 are having babies than teenage pregnancies. As long as you are having regular cycles and ovulating you have hope ((hugs to you)) you are allowed to get down about all this from time to time, it's so hard but its important to cultivate positivity and hope.

Blue and Brum - fingers crossed for you!

As for me I'm CD29 and no sign of AF. I started to get excited but then I realised that I ovulated late this month on CD 14-15 rather than my normal CD 11/12, so I'm guessing that Af will come a couple of days late too so maybe tomorrow or thurs or even fri. I took a test on 10 DPO & BFN so not holding out much hope but then again I've got the most sore boobs Ive ever had and although the pain did fade away a few days ago it's back....hmmmm.

Only just found this thread but just wanted to say hello I'm coming o the end of my 2ww I'm due on on Friday and I'm feeling very odd 😬

Sarah - so sorry it was a BFN for you lovely. Sending a virtual hug to you x

Evening all!

Thanks for the support @Sarah2209, going to focus and de stress. My friends were in a similar ivf situation and had one shot at it, they've now got a lovely little girl so there's proof that once is all it takes.

I'm still 'in' @BlueSkies87 AF due fri-sun but not feeling it. Think I'll be on the next thread too 

I definitely see a line @Viletta...preemptive congratulations 

Congratulations on the promotion @lisara79

Fx for you Mimosa. The symptoms do sound promising... let's hope the witch stays away! I'm on CD3 and lacking enthusiasm for this cycle so far. Give it a few days and I'm sure I will get back into it!

Jords, sorry to hear you are feeling down tonight. Some days it just all gets a bit much, but you mustn't lose hope. Your time will come and you will get your BFP. And when you do we will all be here to celebrate! But until then we are all here to support you

Rhi glad to hear you are still in. Don't lose hope

Tried the second superdrug this evening and it's definitely bfn.. can't take my hands off these bloody sticks! :) will see what happens in a couple of days

BFN for me this morning. I have scans next week so might just wait to see what comes back.

Oh no @BrumKP, best of luck for the scans

Big love @jords make sure you are kind to yourself. However you feel is the right way to feel. Xxxx

Thanks ladies I just feel like oh isn't 100% in it although when I question him he says he does want to try. I think he's just scared after last time but if he wanted to wait I'd rather him be upfront to me about it rather than me going through the disappointment every month xx

I know how you feel Jords... my DH has 2 sons from a previous marriage, and he says he 100% wants a baby with me, and he's been 100% committed- but he also said the other day he wasn't sure how much longer he could watch me suffer each month, especially after our miscarriage. I just know I'm running out of time so I've said if I can put myself through it - then I'd like him to just be there for me. It has made me less inclined to tell him about symptoms and when I'm testing and I can't stand his disappointment for himself and for me, as well as my own... that's why I joined this thread and met all of you lovely ladies... you're now my partners in 'baby making ' crime...

Stay strong Jords... xx

It's awful isn't it Sarah, I've been reading and a lot of ladies have the same problem and they put it down on them feeling to much pressure to perform which does make sense. My oh said he didn't want to know when I was ovulating which I assume is to do with what I just said I just don't know whether to leave it so we both don't know or if I can pinpoint it? Hmm xx

Yes my DH started to have 'performance issues' when he knew I was ovulating due to the pressure. That's why we had our break and at the time I had such a stressful job I didn't look into ivf back then. Now I just say it's time to fool around - no pressure and he seems ok with that... for now! It's why we on the list for ivf, I have to give myself that one try via ivf and in the meantime try naturally and pray.... but it's so much pressure and so frustrating each month when you really feel you are and then bam... bloody AF shows or you lose it! Aarrgggghhh - I just keep visualising myself pregnant and with a baby and then it makes me determined to get there.... we will get there!! but only you know if you need a break - maybe put a time stamp on it! Stop for 3 months, enjoy yourselves and try again for 3 months? Might take the pressure of you OH not trying constantly? You could still be trying yourself as you'll know by your CM when you coming into your fertile window but don't say anything and just let nature take its course... big hugs to you , it's a tough decision

Hi all, DH hates when I say 'I'm ovulating, quick-quick!'. He knows we aim to have sex regularly though. So instead I just make sure I initiate it when the time is right. This way he's much less stressed.

Morning ladies... very quiet for the last few days.... how is everyone? All fine here... CD 3 now and, thanks to PMT symptoms abating, I feel much better and more positive!
