Hi,

This is all very new to me so would like to make some TTC buddies :)

Let me tell you a little about myself:
Been with my SO for 2 years now and we're getting married in 31 days! I'm 26 (nearly 27) and my hubby2b is 35. We bought a house last year and feel like now is a good time to start a family!

This is my first cycle and I'm really excited but trying not to get my hopes up as seen that it's harder than it looks.

Any advice would be appreciated :) xxx

Haha @MuffinHB that's very true. Every cloud...

Ooooo @Magpie24 snap. I'm 7 days out too according to Ovia. I think my mind is playing tricks with me with symptoms... do you have any? I'm assuming it won't happen first time so i don't get my hopes up (she says).

Magpie24 · 21/06/2017 13:03

@Firework83 I'm on cycle 2 and had more symptoms on cycle 1 where I turned out to be not pregnant! Have sore nipples but could be just raised progesterone (I think) before a period. Hard to say!

Firework83 · 21/06/2017 14:24

@Magpie24 I have incredibly sore and very firm (about to explode) boobs but I cant remember whether they usually get this bad or not so trying not to overthink it.

MummyGofboys · 21/06/2017 15:14

Oh girls being on the BFPs. When is everyone due to test? It's so hard not to over think symptoms. I peed a fortune away with tests this month 😂😂 xx

Mrsjones17 · 21/06/2017 16:10

O day for me too. We managed sat and sun then Monday was a no go cos of the heat. Need to try tonight at least! Fans at the ready!!!

FrowningFlamingo · 21/06/2017 18:23

Thank God we've got a fan Grin
Time goes so slowly at the beginning of a cycle! We are only just wishing the FW and I'm wishing the weeks away to testing time! I'm so impatient :/

AdrianaWeatherwax · 21/06/2017 19:32

It's very easy to wish time away! Can't believe it's near the end of June already. Madness.

AdrianaWeatherwax · 21/06/2017 19:38

Also want to take a second to remember that MrsToBe's pal correctly predicted her pregnancy in a dream and we all thought she was barmy 😂

McTufty · 21/06/2017 20:47

My nipples are agony and have been for a couple of days!

mummyg I reckon I ovulated yesterday or today (I thought yesterday but now I'm not so sure as still got EWCM!) so ideally I'll test next weekend, but knowing me I'll be straight at it next Tuesday because I'm an idiot!

adriana lol I know! I need a crazy friend to dream a baby into my belly too!

MummyGofboys · 21/06/2017 21:34

@AdrianaWeatherwax haha yes we did 😂😂

@McTufty eeek that's exciting. I have everything crossed. I'm spending the night in the children's ward with my wee one as he has had his tonsils out and there is no air con. It's sweltering 😡😡

FairyAnn · 22/06/2017 07:39

fefifoefum Snap! I'm due on the same day.
No news from blood tests yet so hoping that's a good sign.

Anyone else finding their basal temp is all over the place? Mine looks like one of those earthquake graphs...

AdrianaWeatherwax · 22/06/2017 07:44

Haha! Earthquake made me laugh, Fairy yeah mine's a bit like that too. At least this morning it decided to calculate O as Monday! Compared with others and it seems normal. Less worried now.

mummyg oh bless him, I hope he's ok and on the mend!

McTufty · 22/06/2017 09:00

Here is my 3 days old chart! No spike but i am hoping I ovulated on Tuesday (the first entry) so it's a steady rise since then. Really hoping I've not had an anovulatory cycle, especially given all the sweaty shagging efforts, so we shall see Confused

AdrianaWeatherwax · 22/06/2017 10:10

Aaaw McTufty look at that wee chart :-) that's a good looking temp rise there!

Magpie24 · 22/06/2017 14:27

Had some dark brown spotting today on CD23 (usual cycle length 28 days but hard to tell as am only two months off the pill). Implantation bleeding or AF? Anyone else experienced this before? I suffer from health anxiety so this is making me a little nervous!

AdrianaWeatherwax · 22/06/2017 15:06

Could easily be implantation Magpie, how many DPO are you?

AdrianaWeatherwax · 22/06/2017 15:07

Sorry, you did say cycle length 28 days.

Flashinthepan · 22/06/2017 15:10

I love looking at charts! I never know if mine looks good or not. Can I ask how you all distract yourself during the 2WW. I can never keep my mind off it!

MummyGofboys · 22/06/2017 16:55

@Magpie24 good chance that it is implantation bleeding. I had spotting on day 15 and 16 which could have been from ovulating and then I got spotting just last week after finding out I was pregnant so I'm guessing that was implantation. I'm also a 28 day cycle. Fingers crossed eeeek

Magpie24 · 22/06/2017 17:12

Thanks guys! It seems to have stopped now, which is encouraging. Let's hope it's not an early AF...

FairyAnn · 23/06/2017 06:50

Ah thanks Adriana your chart looks similar to mine so that's reassuring

McTufty · 23/06/2017 07:19

So this morning this happened. I don't understand and I'm absolutely gutted. I'm hoping it's a combination of a cooler night and a fallback rise but I'm feeling pretty stressed this morning Sad

How's everyone else doing?

It's my first 2ww and I'm not doing a very good job of it so I'm the wrong person to ask!!

AdrianaWeatherwax · 23/06/2017 08:45

That's normal McTufty don't worry! I was comparing charts and it happens with a lot of people who conceived x
