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 🙈

Cold, sore boobs, backache and all I want to do is eat girl's, ahh half way through tww! Bought few more things for my jewellery/craft making going to do some of that to pass the time!

So we're all in agreement about being hungry then!! 😂

I've got the worst ache in my stomach and hips still. If this is a pregnancy thing then it's looking like spd like with my ds1 🙈
If not then hopefully it'll get lost 😂

@Lauraliverpool that's amazing! How exciting and a lovely hobby to have! Cold as in cold temperature or having a cold?? All sounds good to me for 6DPO! Will you test 12DPO?

@Treaclepie19 yessss, starving today 😩 what's SPD?? I'm getting this odd bloating/stomach feeling and it's felt weird all day!!

@Gigi318 I've got that too! I feel really swollen in my lower stomach.

Symphysis public dysfunction, basically your pelvis gets looser in pregnancy anyway but with some cases it's very achey and painful.

Arghh the suspense is killing me - so all yesterday, through the night and this morning I have had terrible cramping. Woke me up twice last night and really thought AF had arrived early like last month. But now the cramping seems to have died down and still no sign of AF...not even a spot. I am sure I will get AF tomorrow if not later today, but then that little hopeful voice in my head keeps saying "implantation cramps" ....could it really be?
I am literally going to the loo every hour to see check - I think I've gone completely mad!!
I know I don't say much on here, but I really like to read all your posts, nice to know others out there are in the same boat!!

@Gigi318 I thought I'm going to give it a try and it's something I enjoy, looking to venture with selling what I make as I'm a stay at home mum and possibly looking into the body shop at home too. Got a cold, coughing feeling rubbish. I don't know what to do, I think I'm going to try and wait to see if af is late but don't know when to go by cause cycles for some reason have varied here and there by a couple of days, my boobs seem a bit more sore today than yesterday but then they seem sore from one period right through to the next. When are you planning to test?

Starving today @treacle! 😁 Just have a dull ache low down again and had a stitch like pain that only lasted for a few seconds.

Hi can I join?

I'm about a week behind - ovulated Friday, DTD last Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. Would like to again today but DH and I have woken up with colds and are feeling rubbish. Hoping it'll be enough! Interested to see people keep going after the window...my sister told me each of hers were conceived by DTD a day or two before ovulation.

I've got cramps and am craving rubbish, and am also being really snappy. Not sure if the it's the cold or hormones.

Welcome @TigerJoy!

My cycles have been a bit crazy since losing our little one in december so I'm not sure what to expect. With ovulation on day 15 it could mean anything. I used to have a 10 day luteal phase but who knows.

Still going to try and hold out until 21st but we will see.

I'm so sorry for your loss, @treaclepie

We've been TTC since Jan - twice I've been convinced I've been pregnant then the feeling has gone suddenly (i have been pregnant unsuccessfully before so I know what it feels lile).

It's really hard not to obsess over symptoms. One of mine is being PMTish symptoms like being snappy, but I might just be tired!

It's good to have other people to obsess about it.

It's also hard trying to do slimming world - I am trying to get down to a better weight before pregnancy but it's such an emotional journey I find myself stuffing my face with chocolate quite often.

I've lost nearly a stone so far (and half a stone last year) but need to lose at least 2 more.

@Treaclepie19 oh no! Was it painful? Yes I just feel so bloated, but not. It's a really odd feeling!! Yesss, try to hold out until 21st if you can as testing early can be such a rollercoaster!

@Gurtie28 oh chick it all sounds good to me!! What DPO are you?? It could definitely be implantation especially if no blood at all? But yes, I definitely think the TWW drives us all mad, especially nearer the end!

@Lauraliverpool aww that's amazing. I'm self-employed and always love to encourage others to do things. I find it so good! Get yourself an Etsy account and start selling!! Has the cold suddenly come on? I've heard a few ladies say they just randomly had cold like symptoms for a day or two during the TWW and it went away and then got their BFPs 😬🙌🏻👏🏻
Hard to know isn't it. I do usually have a solid 28-30 day cycle. I'm also using the Flo app and its saying AF due 23rd for me so I will test then (or maybe 22nd). Yessss, I didn't really notice it but last month they were so full. Today my boobs feel really full and tender. Only 5DPO and think thats really soon for me. But we shall see. Lots of creamy/milky CM too 💖

@TigerJoy heyyy, so you're 2DPO. Yes I've hears before O is best, so I did three days before 🤞🏻💖

@TigerJoy thanks lovely.
I will keep everything crossed for you ❤

Yeah I'm feeling the same. Slimming world is hard when your mind is elsewhere.
I'm almost a stone down at the moment. I'd lost 3 and a half stone the other year but it all went back on after losing our little one.
Hey ho.

@Gigi318 thank you - I am 6dpo but only forecast to have a 10 day luteal phase, AF due on 17th. Last month AF came at 6dpo - which I have since been researching and could be a sign of fertility problems... crazy how TTC completely takes over! It's all I think about 

If I am not lucky this month I need to get some cheaper OPK's, can't afford to carry on with CB! Any recommendations?

@TigerJoy I'm with you on being snappy....my poor DH and DD

@Gigi318 awwh thank you, I think I like the idea of being my own boss 😀 I have been thinking of getting myself an Etsy account cause I'm in there all the time buying crafty/jewellery making bits 😊 cold came on more today, yesterday and the day before had a dry throat, I'd be so happy if it did turn out to be a bfp 🤞

It is hard to know when to test, I'd sort of got my hopes up a little last month cause u had a short period at the end of September for like a day and half then tiny amount of brown spotting just the once and on the Flo and clue app was saying I was late so did a test which seemed to be negative. My Flo app says period due on 21st and clue says 23rd so I don't know! ♥️

6DPO (or 7DPO if I O'd the day of frost peak which I suspect!) for me today.

Twinges in my bikini line bit and up to hip bone on my left side on and off today. I think I O'd that side judging by O pain I had earlier this cycle. Some bloating low in pelvis too but it's been a crazy busy weekend and I've eaten a whole host of unhealthy and terribly calorific foods so i think that's the culprit!

I'm going cleaner eating from tomorrow. I just feel that I need to get back into it to keep me distracted and I find it'll soften the blow of a BFN because in my mind I'm almost seeing it as another month or so to get my body in a better shape and health for possible BFP! Id still be gutted though!

I'm due AF this thurs (17th) as I usually have ~10day LP. So I'll be testing at the weekend if AF hasn't shown up.

@Gigi318 what do you do?

When can we test @Gigi318

@Gurtie28 Oh no, it may not mean that! Are you taking any vitamins? Sometimes they can extend your luteal phase, I've heard? Yes, it really does even if we try to not focus on it too much you can't help it! I'm not using OPKs at the moment but hopefully one of the ladies can make a suggestion!

@Lauraliverpool I say definitely go for it, what's the worst that can happen? You could just list one piece for sale and if it sells, then list more!
Funny you should say that, I've woken with a sore throatish today and achey neck and shoulders like I'm coming down with something. Weird! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Yes it's really so hard, maybe test 22nd with a FRER just to be sure as its in between.
I work in digital marketing 😁 and I love it. Been freelance for quite a few years now (almost longer than when working in agencies)!

@catsandkid oh I know the feeling chick. I'm not overweight but I feel like I've been indulging a bit too much (pretty much since my summer holiday) and pounds are slowly creeping on. Now what I wanted before being PG, but doing my best to eat well and lose a bit. Hard at the moment, I just seem to be hungry all of the time!

@gigi32 Flo says AF is due on 23rd for me, so I'm planning to test then which would put me at 15DPO. But I may also test 22nd at 14DPO, I'm not sure yet!

7dpo 🥳 Half way! 😂

I'm focussing on my diet too. It's hard especially with a poorly 4yo but I'm telling myself that if I am pregnant it can only be a good thing for baby and if I'm not I have extra time to get to my target.
I'm currently about 2 stone overweight so needs to be done.

I'm so keeping my fingers crossed for us all.

@Treaclepie19 woohoo half way chick. Amazing stuff! Oh babe, I can only imagine. It's this weather too - I just want mashed potato, gravy, and warming meals 🙊🙈 Yes definitely, I want to make sure I am eating well for baba. But so hard when you just want comfort 🙈
Thanks babe, also keeping my 🤞🏻💫

@Gigi318 that's what I've been thinking I can only give it a try otherwise I'll always be thinking should have done it and with the last couple of years not being great I've come to realize you only get one life and need to take chances. Great idea! I didn't think of that just list one piece and then go from there, thank you for that tip! Oh have you? I didn't get a great sleep coughing all night.
I do have a frer left over from a double pack and a Sainsbury's own one, I do like the digital ones too cause then you know for sure than trying to analyse lines 🙈 ahh that sounds a fab job! Like being your own boss?

HOW is it only 7DPO? Surely it's been months already, no?

Luckily my mind is distracted from it today as I've woken up with a scratchy throat, and kind of head-cold type feeling. Bit achy too. Sat at work wishing away the hours until I can get home, put DS to bed and watch Netflix in bed with a hot choc!

@Gigi318 - I'm doing better on the food today though! Banana for brek and salad and humous for lunch so far. Lets be honest though, it'll all go downhill once I get home and spot the treats cupboard where DS's special treat chocs are!

@Lauraliverpool babe you've got the perfect attitude there. There is no harm in trying and you can't lose at all - you're already making bits and bobs, so why not list one for sale and see! Yes, I love it. I wouldn't change it for the world and I'm glad I can do all of this and sort of be a SAHM as well. Although I am a workaholic, so that will have to change!
Amazing, excited for you to test. I have two FRERs in the drawer and there they shall stay for at least another week 😂

@catsandkid OMG you haven't? I've woken up like that too. Feel so heavy just want to go to sleep!! Hahaha love you, which actually have no treats in the house atm which helps me because if we have them, I will eat them!!!

@Gigi318 -Looks up scratchy throat in Dr Google for PG symptoms-
