Anyone else in the 2ww?

1dpo cycle 1 post-mc, AF due 20/02 - last 2ww thread I was on got me through!

Trying to follow Kwick's rules for 2ww, no hot baths / cold veg etc, and not to react to every single twinge Hmm

Thanks @passtheeights, will join next Monday if no other news. March, the month of light and new beginnings!!!

See you in there.

loulou82 · 22/02/2018 20:06

Hopping over to March bus. AF showed up a day early! At least we can get on with cycle 3 now! Good luck everyone testing this weekend.

MercuryRising · 22/02/2018 20:16

I'm also off to join the March bus. I was convinced that this was the month, but after being 2 days late AF arrived today. Oh well got to stay positive.

Owlpatrol · 23/02/2018 13:06

I'm sure I'm out now bfn this morning however I am gassy and boobs sore. Does anyone here know how sore boobs are meant to be when pregnant on a boob soreness gauge 😂

Imnotposhjustquaint · 23/02/2018 13:19

I think I’m out too. Took a FRER at around 11:30am an it was the whitest BFN I think I’ve ever seen. I’m around 10-11 DPO.

Have got a spare FRER and will use if AF doesn’t show up on time.

Had such a positive feeling about this month too. On to cycle 10.

AaronPurrSir · 24/02/2018 14:11

AF is here. See you all on the March bus!

vickywood3 · 24/02/2018 17:54

AF arrived this morning for me too 😭 see you in the March group x

Fififiesta · 01/03/2018 14:24

Sorry to hear some of you have caught the March bus, hopefully March will be your month!

I'm still waiting. Not sure which CD I am because I don't truly know when I got AF last month as had 2 days spotting before...um...more Blush. Do I count from the two days?? Anyway somewhere between CD17-19. I think I o'd on CD 11-13 which seems early but I had a strong pain in my side down there for about 3 minutes so I think that is what it was?? If it is then I am 6-8DPO and holding out for a good month!

Fififiesta · 01/03/2018 14:25

Scratch that I must be 8DPO because I know how long it has been since then I just don't know which CD I am on.

Does anyone have any advice if you count from when you start spotting or when AF gets heavier when counting days?

xLeanne128 · 01/03/2018 18:30

I think CD1 is when your in full flow (not spotting or brown) someone correct me if I'm wrong x

Fififiesta · 01/03/2018 20:42

Hmm that means I od on CD11 which seems early?

xLeanne128 · 01/03/2018 20:46

Do you track your ovulation at all?

Fififiesta · 01/03/2018 21:00

I did last cycle but it didn't work because I was at work when I needed to test and then I ran out of testing strips. DH told me to relax about the whole thing so I decided not to buy any more this cycle which I now hold against him

xLeanne128 · 01/03/2018 21:09

That defo makes it trickier to be sure when you defo ovulated, I only use opks but if you struggle for time I don't know if temping would fit your lifestyle better you do it every morning as soon as you wake up and nothing else. Also keep check of your CM and when it becomes like egg whites I normally get a positive opk a day or 2 after EWCM. Goodluck xx

Fififiesta · 02/03/2018 13:06

I think I will get some more testing strips for next cycle then, what time of day do you test? I thought around lunchtime but I am often at work then. Would it work in early evening about 5pm do you think?

I had EWCM 4 days before I had the pain which I think was ovulation does this sound about right then? I had a little bit 3 days before but most of it was 4 days before.

weasledee · 02/03/2018 13:28

Afternoon I'm back in the 2ww wait after lasts months failed attempt! :)

PumpkinPatch000 · 02/03/2018 13:52

Hello Ladies,

Can I join you? i'm in the TWW and my driving myself mad today. This is my first cycle post miscarriage so I'm feeling extra anxious.

i've had quite a few symptoms but period like cramps that i've had all week are feeling worse today.... I hope it's not AF arriving :(

Good luck to everyone else in their TWW and congrats to @Jasmin93 wonderful news! x

Fififiesta · 02/03/2018 14:23

Obv tried testing this morning haha 🙈 how stupid considering implantation probs hasn't even happened haha. Makes it so much more frustrating when no idea when AF is due. Arghhhh. Goodluck All!!!! Boobs are tingling and pelvis achy and abit cramps but could just be AF. So frustrating x

PumpkinPatch000 · 03/03/2018 14:43

Thank you @Fififiesta. I'm feeling in a more positive place now which is good.

@xLeanne128 how many dpo are you?

Fififiesta · 03/03/2018 14:57

Feeling crabby and irritable. Don't want to call myself out as AF isn't due for at least 8 days but I fear it's the start of the end.

xLeanne128 · 03/03/2018 18:00

7/8 maximum you?? x

PumpkinPatch000 · 03/03/2018 19:06

I'm 13 today @xLeanne128 testing tomorrow x
