Anyone else starting 2ww

[KimRobs87]

Hi ladies! Today is 1dpo (I think?) so just heading into the tww. I'm trying for my 2nd and on C2. Anyone want to keep me company? Xx

Definitely agree that it's best if you can see the positives. I'm trying to as well.
And Ive found that being a parent is a long journey so it's good to prepare for a lifetime of frustration!

I'm feeling a bit bad today. Waiting for af to arrive and a little worried about the fact that I think maybe, possibly, probably, I might have used the possibility of being pregnant as an excuse to be a fatty and I have got a significantly rounded tummy over the past week or so. Feeling a little guilty and will need to buck up if I don't want to end up unhealthy (I type this as I bake banana loaf. Well we did have bananas that were too ripe)

Oh @8DaysAWeek rubbish news, great positive attitude though! 🤞for your brand new cycle x

Thanks @TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong! All the best for the coming months

Thank you x

@8DaysAWeek - aww! All the best for the next cycle!

@Frizzy1986 - Haha, at least it's banana bread - could be a lot worse! (Technically one of your 5 a day?)

I've just had all my 5 in my tea - was mega Sunday roast lol. Still had pizza for lunch lol x

@kimsrobs87 I had ice cream for lunch and bbq for tea 😂

Used up my last frer and nothing.
Think that means I'm going to be trying again next month as af was due yesterday, but possibly Thursday.
The frer should pick it up by now though.
I'm fine with that, it's the not knowing. Nausea has gone, heartburn has gone, but boobs still weird.
Also have this random "heavy" feeling in my lower abdomen which isn't a prior af sign.
Getting some on/off cramping on both sides, but not as bad as usual before af, but I'm assuming it is.
Will have to wait until the end of the week to test now so more not knowing.

@Frizzy1986 oh I'm sorry-there is still time. I totally get what you mean about the not knowing being the worst.
Did you use OPKs this month? At least with them you can then narrow down the waiting game if your cycles are slightly irregular-mine vary from 32-37 days but last month was an evil 44!! This month I knew I ovulated so had a good idea of when af/bfp would have popped up.
I have my fingers crossed for you!

Ps-how was the banana bread? I was thinking of making myself this last week! And the leaky ceiling??

We are only on month 2 so I'm holding off on any further delving into cycles to try and keep it, you know, chilled 😂 Think if we aren't lucky in the next few cycles I'll give them a shot, but dtd very regularly atm just to try and keep it fun and not like we are aiming for something.
Banana bread is delish and will be a nice treat with lunch today.
Hmmmm the ceiling. Who knows. It's stopped dripping through the light but now dh has to do something about it. He's not so good at that, so I'll prob be forced to bath until its rectified in 12 months time or something.

I think my husband is starting to feel like it's all got a bit regimented, so maybe I need to adopt a more laid back approach.

Funnily enough my DH doesn't mind the whole regimented approach. I have a relatively low sex drive so it's the most action he gets! To be fair also we didn't have sex until 19 months after having DS... BFing gave me a major sex aversion!! So he's enjoying it as much as he can now 😂

Ahhh cramping. Kind of hopeful that this could be af on its way just so we can get it out the way and start over.
Still a weird lumpy feeling in my tummy though which is very random.

Haha. I think he enjoyed it at first. Billy now feels the pressure.

I'm trying to tell myself not to symptom spotting. AF due 5th June. Headaches, cramps, tired, boob pain and growth, ring won't fit. I can find anything I notice about my body as an early pregnancy symptom.

Ah @Frizzy1986 hope you get an answer either way soon so you're out of the limbo waiting stage!!

Congrats to @TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong and @Fredthespider! Wonderful news! @8DaysAWeek and @Frizzy1986 next month will be our month ladies xx Who is still to test?

@FoxyRoxy trying a first response in the morning

@Jenstro20 keep us posted!! 🤞

Cramps are increasing so predicting af will arrive in a day or 2. At least next month I won't think anything of these symptoms as I've had so many this month. Maybe it will make it easier.

Congratulations ladies on your BFP’s! 11 dpo for me and expecting AF today or tomorrow so I got inpatient and did a test today but it was negative. I didn’t do FMU though so not sure how much difference that makes, feel so tired and boobs are so sore I couldn’t get comfy last night in bed but could just be AF coming. Waiting is so hard! I don’t know if I’m out or not or if I tested too early and should have done it first thing?

@Jenstro20 good luck!

@Jenstro20 - good luck! Let us know how it goes x

@Littlechief - I think it does make a difference when you test (certainly at first). Fmu is supposed to be good as more concentrated. Good luck x

Thank you. To be honest I think I'm probably clutching at nothing. I just want it so much, over analysing my body etc. But if I get my positive tomorrow, you can bet I post it!

Thankyou @KimRobs87 maybe I’ll test again in the morning if AF hasn’t arrived or Thursday if I can make myself wait!

Good luck ladies x

I'd say cramping is now at its strongest yet. Af has gotta appear now surely. Just want to be out of no woman's land and be clear to start again.
This is so frustrating and I'm only a day late so far.
