Anyone 1 or 2dpo approx?? 2ww hello again...

[Sunflower2019]

Just looking for buddies to get me through the tww..

My app says I’m 2dpo but didn’t catch my exact peak just high fertility on clear blue and used cheapies to back up!

Having cramps and sore breasts but could still be ovulation?

Have been trying since around July 💗

Sorry AF made an appearance @Skyla01. Hopefully the worst of it will be over before your holiday.

I'm working on the assumption that AF is due on Thursday (which is CD28, but 17dpo). Realistically, I could probably test on Monday or Tuesday (14/15dpo). Or I guess I could wait til Friday and assume AF is late.

It's only my second cycle since having an IUS removed, and that one was 34 days. But AF appeared 17dpo in that one. I seemed to ovulate quicker this time around.

I have a 2 pack of FRERs in my drawer. But I don't want to test too early. That way inconclusive disappointment lies.

@WooMaWang I agree ! But it's just so hard to resist! Maybe because it's my first time trying for baby number 1.

Can I ask what you guys use for ovulation tracking I just used an app on my phone this month but I've been reading since then that it's not very accurate? Xxx

I've been using the clear blue digital purple OPKs (and the app it syncs with). They're quite expensive but pretty foolproof. I only started using them to get an idea of what my cycle might be and whether I was ovulating.

@WooMaWang oh right that seems pretty simple I'm gonna try without any tracking for a few months and if it doesn't work I will definitely try that! Thanks xxx

@Skyla01 nooooo! That is utterly crap! I doubt this month is my month also so I will join you on next month's thread for round 2!

@SarahMS my first cycle of TTC too! My app days AF is due Monday but that's only a 25 day cycle and I've always been a 28 day cycle girl which takes me to Thursday. But I'm going to try and wait until the weekend. Try being the emotive word here...

@WooMaWang yeah I ovulated early this month! Last month my cycle was 35 DAYS but due to ovulating early it's saying this month is going to be 28 days.

@SarahMS well my app that I have says to start testing from tomorrow. I have some IC one step in the draw but I'm too scared to test so thinking of leaving it until Monday/Tuesday?

I have been tracking using ovulation strips and BBT measurements on an app.

So I caved!! I did a frer when I got home and the strangest thing happened, it showed two lines but after 10 mins there was only one line? I'm confused :( xxx

Bare in mine the second line was very faint xx

Just trying to get this sofa sorted then out for some drinks!

@Skyla01 sorry about af but keep positive :) if will happen when the time is right.

@WooMaWang are you quite into your fitness then? I want to do yoga or Pilates but not that much running where I live outside for work hours! I’ve done it on the tv before 😂

@SarahMS OMG, so you couldn’t take a picture? I used one of my ic a while ago as going for drinks and couldn’t see a thing.. naughty me! Oh well, was a weird month for me anyway! Although I could still be testing waaaaayyyyyy to early!

Sorry I’ve missed anyone, in a rush.. tea then shove the red loopy on and I’m gonna try enjoy a night, as maybe my last drink ;) but prob not 😂 xxxx

Loopy 😂😂😂 lippy! I am loopy x

@SarahMS eeeekk omg that is exciting! Strange though? I've never heard of that before... maybe do another?

I'm sure AF is due for me in the next few days. Spots are starting to appear which I usually get 5-7 days before AF which is perfect timing for when she's due...

Evening everyone! I’ve just been catching up, busy day at work & uni!!
I caved and did a frer today even though I’m only 8dpo.. negative as expected but I know it’s probably too early anyway even if I was! Though I have a sneaky sense this month just isn’t my month, even though I’ve had more symptoms than usual.
I’d definitely like to have either another cycle / tww thread or a pregnancy one eventually it would be so good to keep up with you all - I feel like we’re in this together! 💗

@Sunflower2019 i didn't get the chance. I took a peek and then the neighbour knocked on the door because she took a parcel for us and I had to run down and she wouldn't stop talking! I was itching to run back up but by the time I did it was gone! :(

@Beau2019 yess very strange I'm gonna wait until Sunday now to do another one. If I can wait ha xxxx

That is exciting @SarahMS. Do one with FMU tomorrow and see.

I do quite a lot of Pilates, @Sunflower2019. I really like it. I used to do yoga but I prefer Pilates and I've found a brilliant studio that does mat, aerial and reformer Pilates. I used to swim quite a lot too (DS is a competitive swimmer, so he trains a lot). But there is never any public swimming when he trains anymore and it is a faff to try to go any other time. I cycle to work too generally.

I've got ankylosing spondylitis so I need to do things that don't put pressure on my joints (swimming and cycling are perfect) and Pilates is great for strengthening everything and reducing pain.

@amysara24 I also caved. No idea what I was thinking as I said if wait. I'm about 9dpo and I used an Amazon internet cheapie - BFN of course!! Not sure what I was expecting as I also have a bad feeling about this month.

Oh well - here is to next month! See you there xx

@Beau2019 it might be too early hun xx
Just gotta wait to see if af comes or not.
I'm not hopeful honestly about this month for gods sake. Its so frustrating but just have to keep going! It will happen and when it does we will bloody cherish it

I'm late to join this thread as I'm new. I'm also due AF on Wednesday. I caved and do a FR rest and got a BFN but I'm hoping it's just too early. Im really glad to find other people in the same boat as this wait is driving me crazy

@Beau2019 @HolliePurple it’s still quite early - I found this link really useful for guidance on how likely a bfp is, or how likely it is to get a false bfn by dpo.. fingers crossed it’s just too early for us 🤞🏽 Surely the odds are in our favour that at least one of us will get our bfp? 😂 www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=9

@amysara24 that's made me feel a lot better. I'm going to think positive and try again in a few days- thank you!

I'm due AF on Weds too, but usually get spotting at least two days before. Debating whether to order First Response to test on Sunday morning. Part of me just thinks I just need to wait to see if spotting turns up on mon/tues though...

Does anybody know whether you're allowed to do high impact exercise eg HIIT class with jumping when TTC? Xx

@HolliePurple no problem I’m glad it helped! I found it reassuring to look at the statistics (that’s the maths teacher in me!)
I struggle with the second half of the tww, which is when I start poas constantly and driving myself mad 🤦🏽‍♀️

@amysara24 that link is so helpful thank you!

@SarahMS oh I've never heard of that before!! Maybe do another one in the morning?

@HolliePurple Hi! yeah it makes it easier when you have other people to talk to that are in a similar situation doesn't it!

Baby dust to all of us 🤞🍀

Thanks @amysara24 I feel much better after that!! I'm 1000% going to wait now for when and if she is late!
