Hello again, two week wait...

[karategirl]

I'm in the 2ww again, and hoping this might be the one. I ordered some preseed, but it didn't arrive until right at the end of my fertile window, so only used it a couple of times but hoping it'll help!

Anyone care to join me with the madness, impatience and symptom spotting?

@Littlebirdblues 26th July! Our anniversary is on 20th July, and MIL's birthday is 23rd, so it's shaping up to be a pretty busy time of the year...

When's your due date? I'm trying not to get overexcited, but it's so difficult!

@Gem173. I am out. AF showed up this morning as predicted. What a waste of a month doing tests reading with forum etc. I hope you have better luck than me. It’s been 5 months now and nothing’s haooened . Will look forward to good news from you x

I've arrived in 2ww earlier than expected. According to FF, I ovulated on cd12 which is about 4 days early.

@BLM oh that sucks :( treat yourself today, I know I would be straight out there getting myself a McDonald’s breakfast 😂 I know I feel like everything’s been a waste of af shows up. But this month I have hardly used anything, like 5 opks and just left it didn’t want to stress too much. AF hasn’t shown up yet, I’ve been having cramps all night tho so much that I couldn’t sleep and had to keep checking to see if she has arrived. So maybe she will arrive today? Anyway I guess we will see, il keep you updated! X

@Gem173 my fingers are crossed for you hope AF stays away!!!! I am going for a nice roast that will cheer me up! X

@BLM18 same here! Roast sounds yummy hope it’s nice!! X

How’s everyone doing? X

@karategirl I think mine is 24th July but I keep mixing it up, could be 25th too! First day of last period was 16th October with a 29 day cycle.

I am getting really excited now. Can't quite imagine going to work tomorrow and keeping it all quiet, when I've spent the weekend thinking of nothing else.

I was worried about DH reaction at first but he has been great and confident that we'll be able to deal with three. WHUAAAHAHA.

@BLM18 that sucks, I'm sorry! I hope it happens next month x

@gem173 any sign of af yet? When are you due?

@LittleBirdBlues
No sign of AF yet, I have a feeling she’s coming soon. And I’m not sure when, my last cycle she came 11 days after ovulation, so could be tomorrow or Tuesday, but my last cycle was 31 days long (because of the pill) so if I go by 31 days then I should wait until the 24th Nov :/ I hate the waiting around. Done my first IC this month today and got bfn as expected

@Gem173 keep positive ! I have the most veiny boobs today like I’ve never seen before. Period so far been mostly brown with bit of red but cramps are like normal and I’ve needed to
Take pain killers all day !

@BLM18 maybe it’s a very late implantation if it’s mostly brown?

@Gem173 there is some red! Prob be full force tmr !!

@BLM18 damn so annoying was hoping you’d gotten pos this month! I deffo believe af will arrive early this week

@gem173 what the heck!! Just been in bath and my boobs have started to leak white drops!!! Never had this !!! Still bleeding so don’t know what is going on!!!

@BLM18 could be a sign!!!! Fx!!

@gem173 bleeding though!! Feel scared as never had that before

@BLM18 I’m sure you will be fine :) don’t stress

@Littlebirdblues and @Karatekid what month of ttc have you guys got your bfp?
So chuffed for you both

@merrz thank you! I'm really excited. This was maybe month two for us but we were more seeing what happens tan actively pursuing it if you know what I mean. It's our third baby so we knew it would happen eventually. Turned out it happened really quickly!

How are you geting on merrz?

Feeling rough today. Back aches, high temp, nausea & headache. DH thinks AF is on her way. She’s not due for another 9 days but it would be typical of her to arrive early 😒. The only difference I have noticed this cycle is that my cm has changed. Normally by this point I would have white cm but it still feels just wet all the time with some dry days. (Sorry TMI). Strange how our bodies change so much when TTC.

@Merrz It was month 4 of trying properly for us. Month 7 since I had my implant removed. Tbh it was a real relief - it's our first I've had this absolutely irrational fear that I was infertile. This was based on absolutely nothing other than the fact that, where I grew up, most people have kids in their teens and early 20s, so by the age of 28 obviously nothing was going to happen.

Fingers crossed it happens for you soon!

@BLM18 How are you getting on now?

@Coconutgal I don't know about you, but I've become hyper aware of every tiny change in my body, that I probably would never normally notice. I'm currently in a stage of worrying when anything at all changes, just in case it means something isn't going quite right. How on earth do people stay sane?!

@karategirl - I have become more aware of my body since TTC. What’s normal for me & what isn’t normal for me. It’s kind of nice in a way to really know yourself, but in another way, it drives me crazy!

8dpo and I’ve found a genius way to avoid symptom spotting. Get horrendously ill with an ear infection, and every ache, pain, dizziness etc can be attributed to that rather than pregnancy!

I have cramps and lower back pain right now. But it’s most likely because I feel like shite.

Dingdongdigeridoo - I am** exactly the same!

I got a chest infection on ovulation day and have been struggling with every conceivable ache and pain for a week now!

It’s a good piece of advice to stop symptom spotting - get horrendously Ill!
