Anyone want to join in the ups and downs of the 2ww this month?

Im 2/3 dpo, so AF due 25th/26th July. A bit unsure when I ovulated - got positive opk on cd10, temp drop cd11, temp rise cd12 which has continued until today (cd14). Natural cycles thinks I ov'd on cd12 but I think it's more likely to be 11 - what do you think? Anyhow, we only managed to hs once during my fw this month (it was on cd10 very late at night so poss good timing!), so I'm sure our chances this month are slim, but that won't stop me holding out hope.

Hi all Smile
Age: 26
Baby no: 1
Cycle: 2

Second cycle this month, ovulated around the 14th, due on the 30th of July so on the 2ww now... keep everything crossed for me.
I got really stressed about getting a positive result last month and when I should test.. I ended up being 6 days late and 100% sure I was pregnant. Think I was stressing myself out so badly that that was the reason my period was so late.
This month I have completed decided to chill about it, I'm not going to buy a pregnancy test I am just going to wait and see what happens. halo

Hi ladies,
Can I join? Currently 5 days po so I'm the two week wait now 😁 Only experience so far has been twinges and slight breast sensitivity! Good luck ladies

Tryingforanother · 19/07/2017 16:02

Well according to FF I am 7dpo.. but my chart is a little umm strange lol.. I've had really sore boobs the past two days! Trying not to over think anything 😂 Easier said than done!! 😂 Xx

katiegd · 21/07/2017 08:03

Hi all, sorry for disappearing!

Welcome @Tryingforanother @Poppy012 @Chloe2008 good luck to all of you!

Meadow - sorry for your BFN. I also tested early at 9/10dpo yesterday and got the same.

Cannonball - any news?

Happybus - that all sounds very positive! Have you caved and tested yet?

I'm 10/11dpo and my internet cheapie tests arrived in the post so I'm going a bit crazy - tested yesterday after work and this morning with fmu. Both negative. Need to step away from the tests til AF is late now I think.

Hi katie I caved and tested this morning BFN on a internet cheapy. I feel okay about it, definitely waiting to see what happens with AF now before testing again. I'm due on Monday and usually start spotting at least a day before so I'm expecting that to start either tomorrow or Sunday. If no spotting of AF by Tuesday then I'll test again. How are you feeling? Do you have any symptoms at all?

katiegd · 21/07/2017 08:37

Hi happybus, sounds sensible not to place too much significance on a BFN at this stage.

I have no symptoms except feeling a bit irritable and weepy which I do every month. How about you?

Trying to think positively, in that if I'm not pg this month I can go on my 2-week holiday next weekend and really enjoy myself! Also, next fw would be while we're away which I think is a good thing.

happybus28 · 21/07/2017 09:07

Yeah im trying not to get my hopes up though, just trying to put it to the back of my mind. Even though it was BFN I do feel better having tested, got it out my system lol!

Positive thinking is definitely the way to go! Great that you'll be able to enjoy your holiday and great that your next FW will be when your away! My next FW should fall the weekend of DHs birthday so he'll be pleased about that lol!

When is AF due for you?

Poppy012 · 21/07/2017 17:16

Thanks for the welcome! 7days po for me now and keep getting crampy an period style pains also have lots of cm which is unual for me during this part of my cycle, really hoping for our bfp's this month ladies!

Quiettiger · 21/07/2017 19:33

I'll play. Smile

I'm 45 (so running late!) and TTC #2. Have DD who is 2 1/2, DH & I decided to throw caution to the wind and try one more time for #2.

Am 5dpo, we shagged like rabbits over last weekend when we got smileys on the OPK, and I am struggling with the 2WW and trying really hard not to POAS! Someone tie my hands together!

AF due on 31st July. Am quietly going mad symptom spotting!

MeadowDream · 21/07/2017 19:45

I'm out, AF arrived today.
Here's to cycle 2 Wine
Good luck everyone! Hope there's plenty of BFPs Grin

Sictransitgloria · 21/07/2017 19:45

Hello hello, hopping onto here!

Quiettiger, I'm due AF on 31st too! 🤞I'm going to test 27/28th as going away for a boozy weekend 🙈

Clobear3 · 21/07/2017 20:20

Hi girls!
Smile
I got sold smile on 17 July! We BD on 16 & 18. Hoping for a BFP but obv only about 3 DPO.
Due on 1 August (2 weeks post ov) but we are away for a night out on 29 July!
Got to admit a MASSIVE addiction to testing. Sure I'll end up doing one before we go on 29 July. I bought some clear blue but I've also got eBay cheapies!
Xxx

Sictransitgloria · 21/07/2017 20:23

Clobear - same, going away for the night on 28th so testing beforehand. Will probs be a bfn but just wanna know before I get on the wine train!

Clobear3 · 21/07/2017 20:33

I'm not very good at the waiting part!

Also last month I came on 2 weeks and 3 days from when I thought I'd ov so I feel now like I wish we had done it again on day 20!

Sic: when do you think you will test? I wonder if I'll start 5 days before I think I'm due!! 😬

Sictransitgloria · 21/07/2017 21:00

I am going to test on the 27th and 28th July. Due AF on 31st. Dunno when I ov as not doing OPK. Just hoping for the best lol. Keep calm and don't pee on a stick is what my mantra is the next few days!

Clobear3 · 21/07/2017 21:09

Okkk so I need to keep myself controlled I think until 28/9! If I can wait until FMU of 29th that's prob the best as it's that night im supposed to go out out!

I need to stop myself imagining symptoms as I think implantation is 6-12 days i.e. For me between Sunday and that 29th that I'm going to test!

Just can't wait to get a BFP but I think I'd die of shock too.

The last 2 months prior to July we have been not using protection and it didn't happen, but this is the first one where we've done it every other day once the ov tests went smile!

Sictransitgloria · 21/07/2017 21:14

Fingers crossed for you Clo. 🤞
This is my first month of ttc so I'm quite weary about getting my hopes up. Been off hormonal contraception for 2 years now though and my cycle is like clockwork so hoping that helps!

Clobear3 · 21/07/2017 21:15

So exciting: let me know when you POAS!

Sictransitgloria · 21/07/2017 21:23

Will do, and you!

Picklesandpies · 22/07/2017 15:19

Can I join please? Smile

TTC no 3. Have two DDs age 7 and 10 so feels surreal to be TTC again after a big gap. We had planned to try 3 years ago but I got hyperthyroidism and was very unwell (ending up with no immune system and having thyroid removed) so we now have a bigger gap than we had anticipated. Feel nervous for various reasons but also excited. I'm 33.

AF due 3rd August. I got static smiley on clear blue opk on cd 14 and we dtd on cd 7, 8, 9, 11 and 13 so hoping we are in with a chance despite not dtd after we got the static smiley!

I know I'll cave and be testing 6 days early... zero willpower Confused

Quiettiger · 22/07/2017 17:12

I'm going to be testing on the 27th I think. But in reality I'll probably POAS every day from Tuesday until either AF arrives or I get 2 pink lines!!

We did SMEP this month, more by accident than design. We DTD on CD9, I did an OPK on CD10 and then was as shocked as hell to get a smiley on CD11! So, we did it on CD11, 12, 13 and 15. DH was then utterly knackered as he hates performing "on demand", so he's having a rest! Grin.

I've warned him that the same will happen next month if we get a BFN. I am struggling to sit on my hands even when I know I'm way too early!

Picklesandpies · 22/07/2017 19:52

Quiettiger Is your af due on 27th or is that early testing? Also can someone please tell me what SMEP is please? I'm behind on the lingo...

Clobear3 · 22/07/2017 19:53

I'm only 4 DPO today: waiting until next Saturday am to test is going to kill meeeee!!

Picklesandpies · 22/07/2017 19:55

3 DPO for me... I know the feeling. Every day feels so long!

Sictransitgloria · 22/07/2017 22:23

Well I caved....and drank a couple of glasses of wine (after poas which was bfn)! This waiting malark is too much!
