Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

@Lolliloo1234 I wouldn't put too much on symptoms. I never really had any symptoms particularly with my successful pregnancy. Everyone said it was a bad sign not to get sickness but I never did and I have a very happy, active 1 year old!!
Yep, its so hard when you are going through it and I almost convinced myself that I would never be able to have a baby of my own, especially after I miscarried. Just keep in mind that it often takes a bit longer than you think it's going to but it will happen! 💕 Xx

@LG88 I’m on month 3 but cycle 2 because last month I think I missed my ovulation by a couple of days. Thank you - I’m only on 3dpo and I don’t have any signs of pregnancy whatsoever so not holding out much hope this month but I know it’s very early days. It brings me so much comfort to know you and @buntingandstarcharts both have had babies of your own xx

@buntingandstarcharts oh my gosh it's so nice to hear from you. I am SO happy for you that you got your baby!! I have a little boy who turned 1 in March, it's amazing being a mum isn't it! Do you have a boy or girl? It's so lovely to hear from you again!!
@Lolliloo1234 you are not butting in at all, these girls were amazing friends to have during such an anxious time. I really hope you get your bfp super quickly, the wait feels like forever!! How long have you been ttc? Xx

Hi @Lolliloo1234 yes these girls really were such a blessing back in those months of anxiety and frustration. I tried for ten months and then got whT I had been wishing for. I would love for @LG88 and @Hopefulbunny to get in touch again ❤️ good luck to you! I really hope you get your BFP super quickly 😀

I’m sorry to butt in but I’ve literally just read back your thread and you three have the nicest friendship here, you’ve bought a very anxious 2ww woman some serious comfort.

I really hope that @Hopefulbunny got her baby too

@Hopefulbunny @buntingandstarcharts
I don't know if either of you still check in on here at all. I think of you both and wonder how you are getting on quite regularly. I really hope that your TTC journeys are going well and that you have had the outcome that you both so deserve. Hope you are both doing well. 💕 Xx

@LG88

Thank you! This will be baby no 1 for me, yes. This is our first TTC cycle, married for a little over a year xx

@rosti I don't think any of us can offer any wisdom as I don't think the 2ww ever gets better or easier. I don't think you find any patience or calm with it I'm afraid. 🤷 Wishing you lots of luck. Will this be baby no 1 for you? when did you start TTC? Xx

Yay, @Hopefulbunny so pleased to hear from you. So sorry to hear that you haven't had success TTC yet. 🤞That this is your month. How are you feeling about it all? Hope you are in a good place with it. Thank you, scan went well, had my '12 week' when I was just over 13 weeks and baby wouldn't stop moving around. I am now 15 weeks but still feel anxious a lot of the time. I really thought it would stop after 12 weeks but not for me. 🤷 Would love to stay in contact and keep up with how your TTC journeys are going. I can't wait to hear when you get your BFP!!! 🤞🤞🤞 Xx

Why is the TWW so difficult? I've been trying to get on with my life and not go symptom stopping but I'm...well, failing miserably.

My boobs have felt heavy and sore since ovulation (four days ago lol, feels like four weeks ago somehow) and I have to keep reminding myself that they are probably often heavy and sore but I don't notice it so much when I'm not eagerly looking for symptoms. I also feel ravenous but then sick and bloated when I eat, but that can be easily explained too - I'm a bit under the weather and keep overeating because I feel super hungry. 0-4 days past ovulation is too early anyway! Get yourself together, rosti...

I just want this so much. I'm sure you can all relate. This is new for me so I haven't really cultivated the patience and calmness I need to get me through yet! Didn't help that my friend popped over with his baby today before picking up his wife from work. It's the cutest and most well-behaved and happy baby ever. Sdjenskdndnsbbs Grin

@LG88 and @Hopefulbunny hiiiiii! How are you both? I've been having some 'time off' whilst I had the operation, they removed an enormous ball of disgustingness From my ovary which has been left deformed but apparently able to ovulate. I'm back in the game now but It's been completely lovely not to have that monthly stress over the past 6 weeks if I'm honest! Yay congrats @LG88 amazing news! You're so fertile now - you lucky thing. How are you @Hopefulbunny? So I have been doing my OPKs which have been negative and then this morning I got this.... is it positive? I'm sad as husband is at work til late and worried I've missed my chance 😪😪😪😪 what do you think?

Hi @Hopefulbunny, I'm good thank you! So good to hear from you. How are things going for you? Just really tender boobs which I have never had before even when I ovulate or get my period, and I am so tired I could sleep all the time. 😴 Slightly queasy now and then but not much and I am absolutely not complaining about a single bit of it. I'm super nervous after last time though so struggling not to stress myself out over every little thing. I hope you and @buntingandstarcharts are both well. Missed chatting with you both. Xx

Hi ladies

@LG88 how are you? Do you have symptoms yet.

I will try and keep up more

Would be nice to here from you.

Yay, @Hopefulbunny your back!! How are you? How are things going for you? I'm feeling OK, pretty nervous after last time but I feel very different this time around weirdly. I have taken all of these tests so guess it can't be wrong. My clearblue never hit 2-3 weeks last time so fingers crossed that's a good sign. Where abouts in your cycle are you? How are you feeling about everything? Xx
