TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!

[GlamourBear]

Anybody else? I'm on CD16, pretty sure I ovulated over the past day or two, now for the long frustrating wait to POAS! Why is it so hard to resist for 14 measly days?!

We are TTC #2 and this is our first cycle of trying.

London I hope AF has stayed away. I am on the way back to work. DH is dropping me as he is off.

@Carastarchild thank you, I don't know why I'm so down about this month but your post made me smile! Fertility friend tells me I'm 3dpo. I did ovulate a day early in the end as I thought. So here I am TWW! AF/BFP due 28th. A day less waiting at least?? Perhaps mentally counting myself out early is a defence mechanism against disappointment!
Oh and HAPPY PEAK DAY!! Glad to see it there right on time for you! Get to it, go get us a BFP!!
I've got some 'Conceive Plus' lube which I think is the same as preseed but haven't quite managed to erm.. fit it into the equation yet.. but have heard really good things. Hope it works its magic for you!

@Flossytots and @AnxiousBetty , it sounds like you're both having a difficult and frustrating time right now.. so confusing when your body acts unpredictably. I hope things become more settled and clear soon.

@LondonKez still no AF for you?? FX

@LottieB87 I would recommend conceive plus. I'm using it again trying for second baby.

I'm on CD12 and boobs been a bit sore on the sides. Maybe a sign of ovulation soon. I remember before my first baby I would always get really sore boobs exactly a week before my period would start. They would go about double the size too. Would have to wear different bras. Not really had that since acing a baby. Maybe a sign my body isn't totally back to normal yet.

I just want this to be the month... :(

Family are due to stay with us when it will time for AF or test... So I will have to hold off on testing if I do end up pregnant this month!

Hey Guys,

Hope you don't mind if I join :)

1st month TTC Baby #1. OD some time between 11 - 13 Sep (didn't check anything just based on 28 day cycle, day 14)

Now driving myself crazy SS.

I have had cramps since Tuesday, Nausea, Lower back ache. Today the cramps have subsided but my skin has broken out and my nips are sore.

Also (TMI) I have had loads of watery, clear CM which I don't normally get after OD.

AF due 27/09. Don't want to test until this point but its sooooo hard

xx

Welcome @fluffygodzilla! I think you have a couple of cycle buddies here! I'm a SS addict. I definitely need a new hobby because I'm clearly terrible at identifying an actual symptom 😂 I think it's either psychological or I've just never realised what weird things my body does in those 2 weeks

@carastarchild @LottieB87 AF due tomorrow. No cramps yet, but dipped below my NC temp cover line today. In all my googling I've only found a few people who dipped below and still got a BFP so I think I'm mentally prepared for her arrival now 😔

Hi ladies...so soon after updating you I started getting the mother of all cramps, I was sweating, on the verge of throwing up and shaking. Went to the loo and it looked as if af had started. Sorry for the tmi in advance: I usually have. Heavy flow and was surprised to notice how light it was and brown too 🙈 for the last few hours the flow is so light now I can only notice it when wiping and the colour is very very pale. My stomach feels very full and I feel like throwing up. Asked the hubby to buy more tests and in the meantime I have just done a opk test and the line is very dark compared to a few days ago. I’ve cinpletwly lost it 😬😬🤪

@flossytots ahhh!!! Do you have a picture? What a couple of days it's been for you! Have you not called DH and made him run home yet?! 😂😂😂 Sending you all the baby dust, positive energy and luck I can generate 💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟

@Flossytots ahhhhh sending you lots of baby dust! It sounds positive for you I hope DH comes back soon!!! 

@LondonKez fx for you lovely, don't get too down as you never know! Everybody's body is different 

Welcome @FluffyGodzilla  I hope you get your BFP this month!!

@ChikiTIKI good luck for this month sweetie! Fx for you

@LottieB87 Good luck to you too lovely!!

@Carastarchild How are you doing lovely?

Thank you ladies, really appreciate it and will keep you all posted. @londonkez good luck for tomorrow, hope AF stays away for you. @fluffy welcome to the mad house 🤪 you are amongst a great group of women who will talk you off the edge when the tough gets going 😂😂 @lottie and @chitikiti and @carastar sending loads of baby dust ✨✨✨✨✨ @anxiousbetty your symptoms are not far off to what I’m going through, hope it’s a positive end for both us 🤞 if I’ve missed anyone, I hope you’ve had a good day 🌸🌸

Awww thanks guys, this does seem like a really nice group wishing everyone BFP and look forward to going through it all with you xx

Flossy OMG! Omg! Fx you get a BFP in the morning. 🌠🌟🌠

London I knew someone had mentioned preseed, sorry I thought it was Lottie. Fx it worked for you. I have heard a lot of good things about it. I ordered it in my local Boots. I was mortified I knew the lady who served me....my DH thought it was hilarious....🙈 Fx your temps will rise and you will get a BFP 🌟🌠🌟

Welcome Fluffy 🤗 hopefully we will all help make the tww easier and less stressful.

Chiki you are lucky to have a beautiful baby and I have no doubt you will have another soon. Fx you are ovulating or approaching ovulation. Get DTD 😁😋😁

Betty Great to hear from you. I hope you are okay and have a bit more clarity. You have had a tough few days.

Sending you hugs and chocolate Bubbles and Curly I am sorry that AF arrived. Remember a new cycle is a new start x

Bubbles hopefully you will be back to us with a BFP in no time 💖 Remember you can always try without trying 😸

An update from me ladies:

I have had PItyriasis Rosea for the past month ish and was told there are no other symptoms other than the rash itself. But having had a thought, I googled and nausea and fatigue is possible. Maybe that's what my symtoms come down to.... although can't explain the need to pee all the time and mega thirst....

I'll be on the sidelines supporting you all hoping for your BFP's!
I'm going to test again on Friday to be sure! If another BFN then I will be making plans to go see Doc and ask what's going on

Hi @fluffy, welcome to the group, we've all been in the situation you are now. Turns us into crazy ladies! FX you get a BFP, we reeeealllly are due one!

@London my doctor looked at the 4 sticks I took into her and said they are only positive if the line is as dark as the control line!! Perhaps she knew it wasn't going to work out as the line wasn't getting darker.

@carastarchild thank good For the virtual hug and chocolate. I've just had a couple of Thorntons chocolates, a cuddle from the BF and he also brought me a lovely glass of red ;)

I'm feeling positive this month, mainly because I am looking forward to NOT taking a test before my AF. Honestly ladies, I didn't know myself last week.

I am looking forward to the day we a get our BIG FAT POSITIVES :) x

Good luck @Flossytots fx for your BFP!

Sorry you've still not got a clear answer @AnxiousBetty. I hope your doctor is helpful if you go to see them xxxx

Question for you ladies in the know! So I got a 'high' Thursday 6th and dtd, then a 'peak' on Sunday 9th. Dtd on the Monday morning. Also Thursday just gone. When would you guys suggest testing? I think I'm due anytime now. Torn between waiting for the weekend (unless af turns up in the meantime) or trying sooner? I have the early detection tests, but is it toooo early to bother? X

Hello ladies!

I haven’t been on here for a while, hope everyone is ok! Approaching end of my fertile window (managed to DTD every day of it bar one - TMI lol) and just praying that it’s BFP month and last month was so hard :(

Hope everyone’s ok and welcome to new ladies!

Any BFPs yet?! Just catching up!
X

@FivexFive - everyone’s different but I found the longer I waited the better. At least from the day I was due AF as less likely to get a false negative! All our bodies are different though you so go with your gut. The FRERs are brilliant for catching it earlier though (sorry if that’s not too helpful!)

Fingers crossed for a BFP for you! If you’re due in the next day or so and you’ve waited this long good on you! X

Thank you for the tip! I have the clear blue early response pack of 2. Might just do 1 tomorrow to scratch the itch! Then wait and see.
Thank you again and good luck to all! Xx

I'm officially out. Right on time! Let's try and get some October BFPs! Xx

Good luck for next month @LondonKez and keep us posted @Fivexfive!

I am determined not to test until AF is due now! Only 1 dpo so going to be patient (*sits on hands).

Ps anyone else starting the 2WW today? X

@Fae1989 I'm about 7DPO so not too far ahead of you 😊

Really trying to hold out testing until after AF due (27/8) but it's so hard.... I just want to know now lol

Got up in the night to pee for the first time last night and TMI but my foof feels really achey which doesn't normally happen until day of AF 🧐 xx

Oops meant 27/9

@Fivexfive baby dust to you🤞🏼🌟💖

@curlywurly3 @anxiousbetty @flossytots hoping you ladies get your BFPs soon after what has been an eventful and emotional week for you all. Sending big hugs xx

For those in the 2ww...good luck my loves! I'm terrible at following my own advice, but the best thing you can do is relax (unlikely right?!)

I've got my sister's wedding this weekend and it's my birthday next week so AF is not going to get me down. After those, I'm going to stop drinking for the rest of the month and instead focus that energy on something more constructive! The back to back parties/events/celebrations since June have left me in a bit of a state!

A new month, a new opportunity 💖
