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?

Good luck @Sarah2209 x

Morning! Have you tested yet @Jords0105

Morning everyone, it's not looking good the line still looks like the one from last night so I'm guessing a chemical? :(

Hi @Jords0105 , hcg might be still low as it doubles every 48h (as I'm sure you know). It's great news that the line is still there! Retest on Sunday?

I will do, I'm stuck because I've been invited out drinking for BILs birthday tonight, shall I stay at home do you think just in case?

@Jords0105 I'd go. It's not going to make you feel better missing out. Just cut right back on the drinks if you want to. I was super drunk twice before I realised I was pg and he's fine.

Jords - another line is good. Go out and enjoy yourself, have one sneaky glass and relax. So hoping you get a strong pink line this weekend....

Thanks Melody and Purple.. LittleMimosa I do usually get OV pains, but I also suffer with severe IBS some days so I'm not sure if it was OV or IBS? bit confused as no temp rise today? Yet had 2 positive Opks? Must be Clomid messing this up - see what scan says today! Just in waiting room now! Super stressed as traffic was appalling and I'm half an hour late...

@Jords0105 of course you should go! Imagine first 3 month of pregnancy when you are not yet supposed to announce it to everybody, don't mean you should shut yourself at home! Go and ease your mind from all the baby making

@Sarah2209 good luck! Clomid helped so many!

I decided not testing till I really miss my af.. I always feel so stupid when I test and get bfn and af shows up the very same day.. waist event for an IC

Are tingling nipples a symptom? Feels weird like when your boobs are full when breastfeeding. Didn't have it with DS but wasn't really symptom spotting with him. AF not due til 8th so probably all in my head

@RhiBee29 in our business anything unusual could be a symptom. FX and good luck!

Thanks Viletta - had an awful scan.... very rough nurse - details later; about to have a bath as feel bruised and battered and have finally stopped bleeding! Hope DH's swimmers are doing the front crawl at pace

Girls, please enlighten me! Why so many ladies post pics of their POAS with a ring next to it?

Aw Sarah that sounds awful, you poor thing. Fingers crossed clomid is a big step on your journey and all this rubbish bit can be put behind you one day soon. Hope you manage a relaxing evening. X

Sounds bad Sarah! Hope you're doing ok x

Sarah, that's awful... hope you're ok... get some rest x

Viletta... I think it's an old fashioned boasting thing about being happily married or engaged and being pregnant... always seems a little silly to me.. lol

@Viletta the ring thing is to focus the camera on the line. If you have something shiny such as a new penny or a ring it focuses the camera better so faint lines can be seen better. It's also good luck.

@Sarah2209 be strong and try to have some rest after such a rough day! FX for the swimmers!

@plaintomatopasta aaaaaahhhh I see now.. thanks! It got me really puzzled!

I though it could be an old fashioned way but saw some other objects next to the stick as well

Hugs Sarah. Hope you're ok hun. What happened sweetie?

Jords any news? Hope you're out enjoying yourself.

Really upset here. After ovulating early last month and missing FW totally due to DH being away, I think I may have just ovulated early again and missed it (day 8) again. What the heck is going on? Is it my age? Googling around for 'short follicular phase' it seems you can still get pregnant (as long as u don't completely miss it duh) and that it can be stress related. Any one got any ideas or experience? Sad:(

AF slowly staring.. on time (expected tomorrow). I'm definitely out. Will stock on pre seed and vitamins and will try to DTD for longer than my app says.. good luck everyone!!! Hoping to see your beautiful BFPs soon!

Been doing some research this evening. I didn't get a + opk but loads of ewcm so got down to business and BD 4 days in a row and stopped POAS. From what I've been reading ewcm is just an indication that ov will happen soon so I'm thinking I should have carried on POAS and BD for a few more days. Possibly I have ov'd later than I thought. Have I got this right?

jords hope you're ok

littlemimosa are you using opk or temping? Might be worth doing both?

viletta sorry AF has shown up but good plan for next cycle!

I miss ttc! Feeling very unloved without any attention from mr!

Thanks everyone - it's so good to get your support..... ok epic story here.... but before I do: so sorry Viletta - hugs... and LittleMimosa - are you temping?

Well from my cm and after two positive opks I thought I'd ovulated or was about to.... went for scan today and now totally confused....

Horrendous journey in, traffic dire - arrived late and got a sniffy receptionist - who then realised I'd been telling the truth when others starting arriving late! Made me wait half an hour - fair enough... nurse started my scan and was just so rough! She was pulling the probe really roughly and she took 10 minutes to do the scan, jerking it about left, right back and forth... could feel myself tearing... but didn't feel like I could say anything.... I told her about my opks and cm and she just dismissed it and said 'we don't go by those, that's why your being scanned'! Made me feel stupid! Couldn't answer why I'd had positive opks? She said I had 3 follicles on either side and both ovaries were at 12mm.... I had not ovulated and usually they grow 2mm a day and a follicle then drops out at 22mm -so I would likely ovulate in 5 days... CD16 - late for me?!? So I asked if I was going to release more than one egg? Here's the bit that confused me - she said, (again in a patronising manner) there was no way to know unless you have ivf if a viable egg is in a follicle... I have to have bloods a week after possible ovulation to see if I ovulated - but again that won't say how many I ovulated or if it was viable??? So now I'm wondering what the point of Clomid is if they can't tell what your body is doing... and I certainly have no idea as I thought I had ovulated or was about to?!? Only thing I haven't had is a temp spike - so maybe that's is the most reliable 'home method' way of knowing.... just feel really emotionally confused and physically bruised. After the scan I wiped and there was blood from inside me and from an outside tear... meant to be DTD tonight and every other day until next Tuesday but I'm so sore I don't think I can.

I've been at this so long I'm wondering if I'm just ignoring the big fu*k off sign that's shouting 'your not meant to be a mother'..,,.
But then when I think about never having a baby, being pregnant, looking into my child's eyes - I feel like half my heart is being ripped out..... I just keep hitting obstacle after obstacle! DH is so stressed about his small sperm samples he's no longer able to 'finish' on occasion so we have to revert to syringes and quills - which the Hospital gave us - as bless him he did open up to the Consultant at our last appointment! It's just so stressful and the thought of having a scan like that every month makes me feel sick....

So sorry for epic tirade.... just really down tonight and feeling very depressed

Aww Plain.... he'll be back... I'm sure you'll find a way

I'm deciding whether to test in the morning.... AF was officially due Wednesday and hasn't come yet BUT my cycle varies between 29 and 32 days... tomorrow is cd32... it really feels like AF is coming... lots of cramping for last few days... I know it may seem silly but a BFN would take all the hope away whereas I can daydream for as long as AF holds off... I suppose I'm 16 or 17dpo so, if BFN, it would be a definite out... and AF may well still show...
