Ovulation day - 2ww just starting

[Treaclepie19]

Anyone fancy a little obsessing? 😂
I'm apparently ovulating today according to peak clearblue yesterday and my apps.
I never used to have such a long luteal phase as it was only 10 days so having to wait for 14 is going to drive me nuts 🙈

I've never been able to tell between pregnant or not either. Generally I find the months I feel most normal I'm pregnant.

Feeling very crampy and teary today. 4dpo so obviously doesn't mean anything but still.

@Lauraliverpool definitely. And that's good, quiet usual symptoms but also they say no two pregnancies are the same. So it could be completely different for you this time around. This will be my first 🥰

@Treaclepie19 I've heard a few people say that. They didn't have many symptoms at all (although some say sore boobs) and then got their BFP! So I'm glad I feel normal today. But like you say, only 3DPO anyway. Who knows, could be a symptom!!

I've got backache but don't know if that's all the sorting I've been doing today or if it's the back ache I get few days before af, also like a dull ache low down in my stomach.

@Gigi that's what people do say no two pregnancies are the same. I'm really really hoping that we all get our bfp's that's fab your first 🥰 nothing beats being a mummy best job in the world 🥰

Morning ladies, how are we all?

@Lauraliverpool oohh could be I related maybe, if you're 5DPO 🤞🏻 Annoyingly, I have quite a sore lower back and it's all knotted up most of the time, so I always wonder if its cycle related or just my crappy muscles 😂🙈 but I do seem to get twinges. Had horrendous backache last month, but not sure if it was placebo or chemical as I didn't test early.
Aww thanks love, I'm so excited. Can't wait to start our family. I really hope so, would love to have a beautiful summer baby 💖💖💖

@Gigi318 got a cold I think ☹️ and got a rubbish nights sleep. The joys of being woman hey with all these things going on in our bodies.
Arrh you must be excited, changes everything but in a good way when you see that little person, meet them for the first time it's amazing! 🥰🥰🥰

I also have backache and had a crappy nights sleep. Suddenly got a load of spots as well!

@Treaclepie19 ohhh that all sounds good. I'm feeling pretty normal at the moment. 4DPO at the moment 🙈

5dpo here. Got back ache in the kind of back cramps AF usually bring on and off today and this eve kind of v mild AF cramp in my lower pelvis. Honestly trying my hardest not to symptom spot but it's basically impossible! Have had no appetite today and felt generally bleugh too but think it's just my body responding to a hectic work week and an unhealthy diet to be honest!

When would people test?

I'm not going to test unless I'm late, I've had dull backache since yesterday feels like before af arrives but it's only been a few days since I had my peak on ovulation tests.

Does anyone ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer lack of control through the tww?

@Gigi318 feeling normal also but with my dd I didn't feel anything till about dpo 8-10

Just realised my next fertile window is a long weekend! So 3 full days at home with dp to dtd!

Morning ladies, Happy Sunday!

@catsandkid I'm 5DPO today now too (one day behind most of you) and I've woken with a bit of cramping. Which is annoying, as I also don't want to symptom spot but it's impossible when you can feel it! Oh chick, hope you can get some rest today and have a big roast lunch with lots of veg! I'm going to test on the 23rd when AF due. Unless I feel really off before!

@gigi32 I felt like that last month chick, it really stressed me out. But this month I've chosen to be more relaxed and so far it's working. I'm a third of the way through now and only 10 days to go! Hopefully it will fly by! That's good, although at 8-10DPO I bet you will be like 👀 You're 5DPO too right?

6dpo! IT'S SO SLOW 🙄😂

I've had achey hips and stomach but I reckon all my symptoms are actually just what happen before my period comes. So we will see.

@Treaclepie19 know the feeling. I daren't read too much into anything as last month was either my mind wanting to feel that way or pre AF so will try to occupy myself for another 10 days 🙈

@Gigi318 we need a better system for this don't we. Like surely by now we should just be able to see inside and go yep, pregnant! 😂

Our little boy isn't well so that's keeping me busy. I know my husband doesn't want me to test until my period is due... and I only have one test so that will stop me caving early.

@Treaclepie19 exactly, that's so true! I said once with all the money we spend/could end up spending on tests an everything else, may as well buy an ultrasound machine 😂 yep, I'm ovulating today so let's DTD. Yep, I'm pregnant. And then check in on the little bean multiple times a day every so often!!!

@Treaclepie19 oh no chick, I hope he starts to get better soon. It's this weather, we're all getting poorly! That's good - you want to save that test for the right time. I will test on 15dpo (or 14dpo at the very, very earliest) if no sign of AF. I really can't get my head around testing early. I don't want to see a line disappear. So that keeps me strong! 💖

@Gigi318 yep 5dpo. Hey is CM a sign?

Is anyone else checking their cervical position?
Mines like lips today?? Sorry if tmi

@gigi32 yes, I think lots of creamy white CM can be. But then it could also be normal post O. So hard to tell 🙈

@MsMiaWallace I want to. I think I might today actually. Although mine does tend to be high quite often. So I never really know. Hurrah, lips is good 🙌🏻

Okay, so just checked my cervix and I couldn't overly tell if it was soft or firm. I don't do it enough to know the difference. It felt squishy but firm 🤷‍♀️ so who knows. It was open though, I think?! And (sorry if TMI for some) lots of milky white CM. So I hope that's a positive thing!

I'm in such a grump today 😳😂
I just want some good news! Plus I'm hungry and tired with a poorly 4yo.
So tempted to just order something in but I really want to keep losing weight.
At least tomorrow I'll be half way through the tww!

@Treaclepie19 OMG YES, that's such a good way to look at it, half way throughhhh!!!! What are you options? Do you have something healthy in?? I'm doing a roast chicken but really want something sweet right now! I know the feeling, I'm so hungry today!

@Gigi318 yeah I'm going to cook something on plan... either a roast or a slimming world carbonara or something.
I've got proper meat aversion which is a pregnancy thing but saying that, I'm not a big meat eater anyway.
Chocolate is what I want... and lots of it!!

@Treaclepie19 I'm with you there girl! I'm just wanting sweet stuff today and we have NO chocolate in at all. I was trying to be good as it really ruins my skin. And now I'm 😩 but I'll be starting the roast later so yay (late one today is OH isn't back yet)!
Ooohhh that could be something. How exciting!
