The dreaded 2ww

[Lisaawilson]

Hi
Just wondering if there is anyone else who is now waiting the two weeks before testing. I had positive ovulation test on 27th this month so just a waiting game now :( only managed to dtd on 25th and 27th so hoping that will have kept me covered

Molly we are going away the day after my period is due, so if my period doesn’t arrive on the 12th Jan, then I’ll take a couple of tests on holiday with me. I won’t test before I don’t think. Just sets me up for more anxiety and waiting for my period 🤦🏻‍♀️

@gemmajen after putting in temps today FF changed my ovulation by a day. So I'm now 5dpo again instead of 6

@Farhana170 twinsies , when do you think you will test? I had a 12 day luteal last cycle so ff says the 9th but I was initially planning on the 12th. I don't feel lucky this cycle but I'm sure I'll still be crushed if it's negative even with the lack of hope.

I’m getting jealous with you all talking about your BBT. Which thermometers do you use? I’ve got a gut feeling I’m out even though I’m only 4DPO...

Hi all,
I ovulated on the 28th December (according to my clear blue fertility monitor) and am also in the TWW. We DTD 26th,27th and twice on 28th so hopefully we get a BFP this month. This is our 4th cycle TTC and I’ve only just got to grips with my ovulation as I was going by my app previously which was slightly late by a few days. I’m only 5dpo but had terrible cramps yesterday. I’m going to try to wait to test until 8/1/19. My fingers are crossed for everyone on here TTC xx

@gemmajen my luteal was 16days last month. I don't think going to test until my period comes this month. I ovulated about 5 days later this month compared to last month. I assume my cycle will be longer this month by 5 days? Just checked FF and yes, it's predicting a 35 day cycle this month. Have no idea why it's longer as I haven't been stressed out or anything. I have travelled a lot this month maybe that's why...hmm?

This is going to sound strange but can toddlers smell changes in brests? DS stopped b-feeding about 6 months ago and hasn't really shown much intrestd after the first few weeks. This last week he's suddenly gone back feeling my brests and wanting to feed, just wondering if he might have smelt a difference if I have conceived?

Probably just clutching at straws but I have also been insanely tried and had cramp for the last 4/5 days.

I’m 7DPO and far too invested in symptom spotting. Currently trying very very hard not to POAS. AF due 9th. 😬

5DPO And cycle two for DC2. This time around the waits seem to be harder!
AF due on Friday 11th, but I'm also going on holiday that day so I will just see how it goes because I don't want to be disappointed and spoil the holiday.
Trying not to symptom spot this month.

Hi all.
AF for me is due on the 9th. Just wondering when everyone else will start testing? I hate the waiting! Find it so difficult especially on my days off it's all I think about haha

My AF is due on 7th I think. I'm going to do a test over the weekend probably Slunday (probably Saturday too!!) I'm the same it's all I can think about and can't tell if I'm imagining symptoms or if they are real. I'm working tomorrow and Friday so I'm hoping that should take me mind off it for at least a couple of hours!

ForeverBubblegum I think they can! My dd was 8 months old when I fell pregnant with dS and hadn’t been breastfed in ages. She took a huge interest in my boobs! I’ve got a hilarious video of her shoving her face in my boobs and blowing raspberries - but I was about 20 weeks pregnant by then

Hi everyone! Hope I'm okay to join the thread. AF is due around 16th/17th according to Flo so right at the beginning of the TWW now. This is my first cycle so not expecting it to work this time around but I'm already getting impatient! How does everyone take their mind of it??

@Lisaawilson I'm due on the 8th so planning on testing on the 9th. I wasn't feeling the luck this cycle but my charts just gone triphasic so I'm going a bit crazy, I know it probably doesn't mean anything, but so hard not to get my hopes up!

@Hbs21 welcome I can't help with suggestions for staying sane in the tww as I'm constantly thinking about it. I've been trying aromatherapy, mindfulness and journaling but it's not making a huge difference for me.

So much for willpower, I POAS this morning. Think DS may have been on to something as I can maybe see a super faint line, can anyone else see it, or is it just my wishful thinking?

@foreverbubblegum I can definitely see a line!! How many dpo are you? X

Ovulated 24th so 8 days, I know it is to early to test really, but I'm very inpatient.

Hi ladies can I join? Think I am day 3 of 2WW (first month trying) but after forking out a small fortune on clear blue digital ovulation tests I never got my smiley face! Tested pretty early every morning so hoping that I may have surged later in the day and missed it rather than not ovulated but who knows! Did have some ovulation pains and fertile CM (bit gross!) so am thinking am day 3 but a bit of guess work. No symptoms as of yet as early days. Good luck everyone! xx

Down with flu here, the worst today. Anyone else caught it?

I got a positive LH surge on 27th afternoon when do people think I would have ovulated and earliest I can test? I don't track temperatures currently so can't be certain x

@ForeverBubblegum I can definitely see a line there!! Are you going to test again in the morning? I got positives on both my previous pregnancies at 9dpo and they were super faint - just a bit stronger than yours... fingers crossed for you!

Ladies I can't stop symptom spotting and know I'm just setting myself up for a fall but can't help it! I've been crampy and bloated but that could be nothing. I ate so much at Christmas so the bloating is constant haha.

Am max 6dpo so need to try and hold on a few more days....

Day 1 of 2WW. Wasn't totally on top of things this month. We don't use ovulation tests but an app that predicts instead. I understand this is less accurate but the 1st time we used it before it worked (sadly ended in mmc) but hoping for the same result this time! Altho haven't been totally on top of things and hadn't checked app - we dtd on both the 2 days before predicted ovulation & the day after hopefully this will be enough but if not we shall persevere!

Hey i’m new and waiting too...I’m 3 dpo, ttc#1, cycle 4. I felt really nauseous on day of ovulation this month which was weird? Does anyone else get that?

TWW here also. First cycle after MMC at 9 weeks. TTC No 2. DD1 is 9! OPK was positive in 29th. DTD on 25th, 28th, 30th, 1st. Not 100% when to test! Fell pregnant last time on 1st cycle so have my fingers crossed! Hope everyone gets a BFP this month.

@lisaawilson hey, my lh surge was at the same time was yours 27th afternoon. I'm not 100% when I ovulated either. But usually it's 12 to 36 after. So it might have been the same day of the next day. I think I'm currently 7dpo.
