Thread two for TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!

@anitagreen been doing that for the last 11 months so know the feeling x

@Carastarchild thank you X

@BLS1983 it's really tough i didn't imagine it would actually drain me this much I have two other kids and they wasn't planned, now I've actually planned to have another it's really difficult and to be honest quite draining it feels like it's never going to happen atm xx

@anitagreen it is indeed and I believe it is so true what they say about it happening when you least expect it. I gave up trying with my first after 8 months and then fell two months later. Fingers crossed for you x

Thanks @Carastarchild 😘. I have my fingers crossed for you also. X

@BLS1983 that's exactly the same as me with my first we tried for two years and I said I'm not trying anymore it's not working it's clearly not meant to be, then we went out got really drunk had a picnic, and then I came down with a cold so out of character for me two weeks later... I was pregnant lol x

I'm getting some cramping tonight I'll be 6dpo tomorrow is that a good sign never usually get it around this time?x

So this morning I have a dull pain in my left side. Maybe I'm ovulating now? God I feel clueless lol x

BLS you did mention earlier didn't you that you didn't get a positive opk yet???

@Carastarchild hey lovely. I did indeed and I've just had a load of EWCM (sorry) so I am feeling good again now :-). I didn't test the last couple of days but shall get back on it and more importantly bd'ing! If this is ov this would prove where I have been going wrong all this time :-).

How are you today? X

BLS the cheap Opks work fine, and if I were you I would test until you get a positive OPK. Then at least you will know when you are ovulating in your cycle. Not knowing would personally drive me nuts. I find the clear blue advanced fertility monitor great because it tells me when I have an estrogen surge, and then I know the LH surge will follow after, and then ovulation.

It's awfully quiet here at the moment. I hope everyone is okay 🌟

So is anyone going to test over the weekend? I'm really going to try not to... perhaps I will try sitting on my hands, hiding my bankcard, peeing straight away in the morning....😁

You're testing tomorrow Carastarchild? Good luck!

I am feeling good today, almost "graduated" from my PTSD counselling. Going to have a few more sessions focussing on my worries about future pregnancies etc so that's promising given I want another baby ASAP!

Staying hydrated is going really well :) definite change in cm feeling positive about it!

Hope you're all doing well! Xxxx

@Carastarchild I will be testing this weekend I'm 6dpo today by Sunday I'll be 9dpo so I plan to test then x

Negative cheapie this evening. Going go make sure to dtd anyway :-). Good luck for the weekend ladies. Everything crossed for you x

Good luck from me too for everyone testing this weekend.

I wish my cycles weren't so long so I would get more times to try!!

I keep telling my husband my cycles are as long as an elephant but actually I just googled it and their cycles are 3-4 months long so that's made me feel a bit better :)

Thank you everyone for the wishes. I can only hope by Christmas Eve we've all got our bfps x

Chiki I will be 8dpo tomorrow, so definitely not. I'm going to wait until 12dpo. Well I am definitely going to try to resist. That's great news about the PTSD counseling! Well done you! 🎉 It's amazing isn't it how drinking more water makes such a difference! I'm the same. I saw a massive improvement this month! No need for fertility friendly lubrication 😁

Anita that's a beautiful wish for us all 🌟⭐🌟 Remember the hand holding service we offer 😉😁😉

BLS that's confusing isn't it. Chances are you ovulated already. Remember the follicular phase length can fluctuate, but the luteal phase stays the same more or less. I hope you get answers soon.

Hi everyone, can I join too please?

We’re ttc #2, started in April of this year and bfn. My job at the time was horrible and my boss even worse so I spontaneously handed in my notice and all thoughts of a baby had to be put on hold till now. So this is cycle 1 I guess. I track ovulation with an app, also feel it which helps, and we dtd plenty last week so I’m in the hope zone!

Af due on Nov 4.... really hate the 2ww!

My dd is 3 in January and I’m really hoping I’ll be pregnant by then as I’m worried about the age gap getting bigger.

Anyway, that’s me. Congratulations to @Lottie and fx to everyone else.

Londonkez and Rachael you must both be getting closer to ovulation. How are you both feeling?

Flossytots thinking of you 💜 I hope you are okay x

Thanks @LottieB87 and @ChikiTIKI I'm 7 weeks 3 days today according to my app but have an early scan at the weekend!

@carastarchild nothing I eat has really helped me this time, I constantly ate breadsticks with DC1 which helped. Although I have some anti-sickness bands on and for the first time in about two weeks when I woke up early hours of didn't feel horrendously sick! I can feel it coming on now but hopefully it won't be as bad as it has been How are you?

And how is everybody else?

Happy Friday all! And welcome @LauraPalmersBodybag!

Lovely to hear from you @glamourbear and @curlywurly hope you're both getting on well 💖

@carastarchild I'm CD13, normally ovulate around CD15, so very close now!

We decided to abandon the OPKs and preseed this month. I'm temping, but not recording into my app until Friday's so that I become a little less obsessive. DP still wants to know my FW approximately, but to be honest we've always had quite an active bedtime routine every other night for the last 10years so I don't imagine actually knowing will make much difference!

I'm feeling good this month. What will be, will be. I know it will happen when it's time 💖

Have a lovely weekend xxx

Welcome @LauraPalmersBodybag

@Carastarchild so you're testing Tuesday right? Eeeek!!!

@LondonKez I hope taking it easy works its magic for you.

@anitagreen good luck for Sunday!

Hi everyone, joining this one from the previous one.
Currently in the TWW on 4th cycle, on 8DPO following a late ovulation, currently on CD26.

Had a slight temperature dip this morning so not feeling too optimistic today.

Got one app thinking I'm due on today (ovia), another that thinks I'm due on next Wednesday (fertility friend). Trying to resist doing any tests this weekend as I know it's too early!

@carastarchild I'm feeling good just now, thinking I will ovulate Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Currently on CD 13 and we have dtd loads since af left! Which is making me a wee bit wary. Have we started as we mean to go on? Or have we done too much too soon and will be burnt out by next week?
OH seems to be on board more than ever this month which is great, he's asking more and more questions and trying to be more involved and understand how it all is "supposed" to work
