Hey, I'm just starting the tww and looking for some friends to join me for the wait. I'll probably test when af is due on the 16th. I've got to the point where I don't know what cycle I'm on - I think it's 8 though!

Not quite in the window yet as not due AF til 20th but could do with a thread to linger on! We go on holiday at the end of the month and this is our third month of TTC. Work makes me wobble a bit timing wise and getting to a point where we may take a break if it doesn't happen soonish.

How long have you been TTC etc?

Florence16 · 03/09/2017 07:04

Duh I've just seen you said cycle 8! Were you on contraception before? I was on the pill. Not sure when I'm ovulating this cycle but was relatively late in the last one so I think things are still settling for me.

Hi girls, mind if i join? Im 5dpo. Cd18 of 24/25 day cycle so due to test in a weeks time. Cycle no.2 of active trying. Fingers crossed for all of us 😊

cavatron · 03/09/2017 10:53

Hi Betsy, I'm also in TWW - AF due on 16th too!

cavatron · 03/09/2017 10:54

First month of trying and trying to get my head around all these acronyms and the 'science' of it all - first baby was a happy accident so new to all this planning...!

EverythingNow · 03/09/2017 11:40

I'm also in tww, AF due on the 14th.

I'm on cycle 2, mine are usually 27days but last month was 25.

Good luck everyone Smile

Thanks for joining me ladies!

Florence I haven't been on the pill for well over a year now. I was fortunate that my cycles were straight back to normal but getting annoyed that this is taking so long!

Cavatron some of the acronyms are so confusing!

AF due here on 15th, according to fertility friend. But this is only my first month of trying to chart stuff using an app, and my cycles are all over the place after the birth of my first DC. So, it could be early or late, gah. Hate not having a regular cycle, it makes it so difficult to work out when fertile window is! But it'll be mid-Sept testing for me anyway, sometime around then! Good luck to us all, sticky baby dust all the way x

Stormcloud10 · 03/09/2017 14:35

Hiya, I'm currently 4DPO (first ov after the dreaded depo!) and already trying to resist POAS 🙄 I have a problem 😂

ThreeAfter30 · 03/09/2017 18:33

Storm that really made me lol!
Step away from the tests you madwoman 😂😂

cavatron · 03/09/2017 18:52

I'm so chuffed to be in a group of people in the same situation!!!

DoAsDreamersDo · 03/09/2017 19:11

My AF is due on 16th September and I've just started my 2ww today. I'm on cycle 4 and it's my first month where I'm being a bit more relaxed and just seeing what my body naturally does.

Alicely · 03/09/2017 19:37

Im on the tww. Not too sure of which cycle but haven't been on conception for over two years.(Not actively trying all of that time, just "seeing what happened") due to test around 15th... if I can wait that long!

Stormcloud10 · 03/09/2017 20:53

Three I know, I know, and even though I know there's no point testing, I know I'll still test early 🙄 I'm beyond help 😂 Waiting for the imaginary symptoms to start now! Haha!

ThreeAfter30 · 04/09/2017 07:57

Morning girls! 😊
6dpo for me today, slept really badly last night and woke up this morning feeling so queasy. Now, i know its way too early for any kind of symptom but seriously why does our minds associate every ache, twinge and moment of boakiness to whether we might be pregnant or not?! Plot is officially lost 😂😂

Threeafter30 I woke up feeling sick in the night and wondered. But I'm only about 3dpo so v unlikely to be a symptom!

Alicely we did the not trying/not preventing for quite a while too. No idea how so many ladies fall pregnant by accident!

Hi, can I join you ladies? My AF is due 15th September. But I think I ovulated friday or Saturday so only 3 DPO.

cavatron · 04/09/2017 14:27

Please forgive me for the stupid question...how do you know when you ovulate?! I'm using the Flo app at the moment.

ThreeAfter30 · 04/09/2017 14:30

Betsy do you know when you ovulated? I dont temp i just use ov tests so counted the day after my +ve as ovulation day. I have such bad cramps today, had terrible pains in my lower stomach a few hours ago which felt like id pulled a muscle but now im getting quite sore cramping and a dragging pain in my lower back. AF due on sunday, its gonna be a long week lol.

I would love to get my bfp this cycle as its mine&dps anniversary on the in 2 weeks and that would be an awesome present to give him😊
This is #3 for me but #1 for my dp. How about all the rest of you lovely ladies?

ThreeAfter30 · 04/09/2017 14:30

Cava im just using ovulation tests at the minute but temping is prob the only way to tell if youve defo ovulated

Welcome Flyingfruit

Threeafter30 that's a good point actually. I did track for a while and it was always cd14 so I don't anymore. I often get sore bbs once I've ov'd but they started earlier this month so I actually could be 5dpo not 3dpo.

Betsyboo87 · 04/09/2017 14:41

cavatron you can use OPKs or temp or some ladies get ov signs. I found tracking ov got me more stressed so I've given that up and we just DTD every other day.

Hi Ladies, checking in for 2WW! Cycle 4 TTC#1 for me. Ov yesterday or today so testing about 17th (probably earlier!).

cavatron · 04/09/2017 18:26

Betsy and Three - thank you. I'll be sure to come here first for any further questions if I'm not lucky this cycle!

Flyingfruit · 04/09/2017 20:50

I'm on cycle 1. I'm so impatient 😂 this could be a really rather long journey!!
