Starting 2ww once again! Who's with me?

[alicepol]

Looks like another 2ww for me, anyone else just Starting? I'm only 2DPO so still 12 days to get through!

Age - 25
TTC #2
Cycle 5
CD 16 on a 27 day cycle (usually)
Only 2 DPO
AF due 25th July

8days!!!!!!! 🤞 sounds even more promising!

Glad I'm not the only one @8days 😂
Finally 14 dpo and BFN. Got all AF signs now so just waiting for her in the next couple of days.

Anndd I'm out!
Have you had any progression @8daysaweek ?

Congratulations 8daysaweek! X

Not yet, waiting until tomorrow to test again. But my temps keep going up so that's a good sign. AF due yesterday/today.

Sorry to hear AF has made an appearance :(

All sounds positive @8daysaweek
Fx!!

@8DaysAWeek sounds super positive. 🤞 for a sticky one. Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

FRER line is a bit darker and got 1-2 weeks on a CB digital. 13dpo today :) send sticky thoughts!!

Ahh so happy for you @8daysaweek congrats!
About time this thread got some luck.

@8DaysAWeek great news!!!

@8DaysAWeek big congratulations!!😃

Only had a tiny bit of sporting yesterday and AF has started today so back to CD1!
Weird question but I'm due to give blood next month. I will be in the 2ww on dpo 7ish (depending on ovulation) I'm guessing I will still be okay to give blood?

@alicepol I have read on my app that's it's fine to give blood while TTC :)

8days !!!!!!!

CD7 here and AF has finished. Contemplating SMEP but didn’t ovulate until CD19 last month so not sure I’d start on CD8 because I’m not sure we have the stamina for every other day until then and then 3 days on the trot. That’s so much more sex than we usually have and would definately feel like a chore. I’m wondering if we could start it on CD14 instead? That should in theory be enough to fully catch the fertile window shouldn’t it? Even if it’s not strictly SMEP?

How is everyone getting on?
Hope everything is going okay @8daysaweek ?
I'm CD5 on the 3rd cycle just in this thread 😂
I looked up SMEP after seeing that @basinhaircut and we might try and give it a go, although like you, I think it's a bit too much BD for us 😂
I think that would work the same with late ovulation for you. I think I actually ovulate earlier than I always thought after tracking temp and OPKs last month it was on CD13. Hopefully means not too much BD 😂😂
Also trying to be in a mood with him at the moment so waiting until CD8 gives me a few more days of being mardy 😂

@alicepol I tried to do SMEP this month but missed one of the days (first day of static smiley!!!!) as DH had to work really late but I'm trying to stay positive that we did enough. I'm 6DPO and not planning on testing until next Thursday if I can resist. I don't want to see a BFN so think best to just wait it out. I feel like I have slight tummy cramps or maybe tenderness is a better description and I had flutters earlier but think I am crazy symptom spotting.

How's everyone else ?

CD10 here and started OPKing once a day just in case. Gonna start DTD EOD from Thursday I reckon, which will be CD12. Just hope we can keep it up long enough (no pun intended )

Fingers crossed for you newbie.

Evening :) it's been a bit quiet on this thread recently! Good to hear some updates :)
I'm currently CD35 (14DPO), AF was due today but is a no show so far, I'm planning on testing in the morning if nothing by then. I've been having on and off mild cramps for the last few days and my back has been hurting today too. I started temping half way through this cycle so it's not complete but it also hasn't dropped yet which I'm hoping is a good sign!
Good luck to everyone who's in their fertile period!

Sorry, make that CD36! Got it wrong haha

@purplestar9 good luck for tomorrow! It's sounding promising with your temp staying up. 🤞

and good luck too @BasinHaircut At least when you enter the opking zone/FW you can actually be proactive in the whole TTC journey.

@Newbie21 thank you! This is the first cycle I've actually not tested before AF was due... I made DH hide the tests so I couldn't! Haha. I've got them back now so I can test in the morning :)

I’m cd14 but not really trying this month as dp is away 😢😢😢

He’s back Saturday morning but I think it’ll be too late - I’m still temping and opk-Ing on the off chance I ovulate later but it’s a very very long shot 😢

Will be keeping an eye out for any bfps- good luck to you all x

@TheHalfBloodPrincess sorry that you might not get a chance this cycle, but you never know, you could possibly ovulate late. Are you usually around the same time every cycle?

Fingers crossed for you this morning purplestar.

halfblood thats annoying! Good idea to keep an eye on things just in case though, you never know you might get lucky.

DS has been away for a week with a family member and came back yesterday looking and acting all grown up. He seems to have stopped wanting to cuddle me all the time which is making me even more broody. I need a new baby to cuddle!

Let me know how you get on with SMEP alice
