TTC number two... still breastfeeding. I temped with Baby 1 but this time going on ewcm and rise in libido! Cycles are pretty regular but slightly long at 32-35 days but they've always been like that. Periods returned when my greedy EBF baby was only 4 months and have been like clockwork. Baby is now 18 months old.

Anyone wishing to join and just about starting the 2 week wait are welcome!

Congratulations!! @2020BabyPlease

@dizzy85

Im assuming them ovulation tests were positive for me because the one I did yesterday was so faded. We've been dtd pretty much every night for the last week, including the night I got my positive opk. We didn't dtd last night though so I'm really worried we've messed up 😩

dizzy85 · 28/02/2020 06:34

@2020BabyPlease aw congratulations to you how lovely ❤️

@Sho2207 we've done the same 7 days with one day break but also last night I wanted to but we didn't get round to it so I'm feeling the same but they do say it's best to have done it before ovulation so hopefully we are both ok. I'm gonna try tonight for one last go then I need a rest haha 😆 so how many DPO are you counting as now?

Sho2207 · 28/02/2020 11:27

@dizzy85

I'm really hoping I get to see them two lines this time round.
I must admit though, I've never used opk's but they are just so much easier, will definitely use them in the next coming months if no luck.
I am just assuming I ovulated on the Wednesday so 2dpo today.
I'm already comparing what my body felt like last month at this time🤦🏻‍♀️ I wish our bodies could just give us some sort of clue that something is going on 😂

@dizzy85 I'm in my fertile time right now. We're just waiting to have a positive LH Test. We couldn't get the Preseed this month so I'm taking vitamin e( vaginally) and other vitamins while also upping my water intake. Hope this helps I don't really ever notice egg white cm so we'll see. Baby dust 🧚🏽‍♀️ for us all this cycle

dizzy85 · 01/03/2020 10:46

@Sho2207 I'm about 3/4 DPO now so think we're about the same. It's hard not to compare each month isn't it, although I'm usually ok in the first week it's week 2 where my brain starts getting obsessed. Will you test early or wait?

@Swife have you had your positive opk yet? I hope the new changes help, I've never heard of the vitamin e thing I'll have to look it up, I did plan to try his and hers conception vitamins and preseed but I forgot 😄 so I haven't really changed anything this month other than trying to eat a bit healthier. I only really get the ewcm around ovulation and some months is less than others.

Sho2207 · 01/03/2020 10:58

@dizzy85 yeah I'm 4dpo today, yeah I usually feel ok in the first week of waiting but that's what drives me crazy😂 it's almost like because I'm not feeling any different I just no it hasn't happened 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm so impatient haha. I'm not sure on testing early, if I get any obvious symptoms then I probably will. How about you?

dizzy85 · 01/03/2020 11:08

@Sho2207 it's funny how we can go from normal to insane within a week 😂 i am going to test early this month because last month I had the CP and last year the mmc so if I end up having another CP or anything again the drs will investigate after the 3rd. Hopefully that's not the case but now I actually feel fine with testing early because I know if anything bad then I'll get some help. And plus it'll break up the second week now without having to be as patient and wait 😂

Sho2207 · 01/03/2020 13:17

@dizzy85

It's crazy 😂
Ah that's good that they're gonna take it seriously and help you if it happens again!
I would love to test early and just get a positive first time😂
It's weird because I feel like I'm getting slight pains but I also know it's just me overthinking because you don't normally get symptoms until you've implanted 🙄

Swife · 01/03/2020 18:26

@dizzy85 I think I had my peak yesterday but it really didn't register as on and now my cm is thicker. The vitamin e was prescribed by my OBGYN since my hormones were off. We didn't DTD yesterday when I got a high LH read but we'll see. I may or may not be out yet I will test a little later to see if maybe I used the wrong pee

dizzy85 · 02/03/2020 07:33

@Sho2207 I do the same always start overthinking, I've been prodding my boobs wondering if they hurt more and checking for extra cm lol. I think I'm gonna start testing Thursday or Friday so not too far away.

@Swife fingers crossed you caught it I'm sure you did. How did they find out your hormones were off did they do certain tests? Just wondering as it's something I've felt for ages for me and my dr never seems to listen but I really want a hormone test just to check.

Sho2207 · 02/03/2020 10:50

@dizzy85 guilty for the boob touching too😂
Only thing I have noticed really is I've had a lot more spots since I ovulated. I'm not sure if it's too early to be getting little things like that though, it's very annoying though. I may give in towards the weekend testing wise

Swife · 02/03/2020 22:28

@dizzy85 we had fun trying if we're out this month 😉. And as for my hormones, when I got off my Endometriosis meds my cycles were off so and when we lost the last baby they decided to give me a full lab work up that included testing for these fertility hormones:
• Luteinizing Hormone
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone
• Estradiol
• Progesterone
• Prolactin
• Free T3
• Total Testosterone
• Free Testosterone
• DHEAS
• Androstenedione
I also got an sonogram to looking at the state of my uterus and such. My chief complaint Endometriosis and because I'm TTC and 39, my OBGYN makes an extra effort to help me make it happen. She even put me on Letorozole to help with ovulation. Progesterone for my TWW and the Vitamin D at 10,000 mg(vaginally). I haven't talked to her yet about my cm concerns but that's next if I'm not pregnant by June.

Are you experiencing some things and led you to believe your hormones are off?

dizzy85 · 03/03/2020 07:04

@Sho2207 hopefully the spots are there for a good reason 🤞🏻 are you feeling anything else? I'm gonna get some frers today and do one Thursday which is definitely so early but I can't actually wait any longer 😆 so I usually get pre af spotting which starts around cd24 ish but last night before bed I wiped and had a small bit of pink blood on there, obviously my brain instantly thinks implantation as it was only cd19 yesterday but it's probably not and probably just the pre at spotting starting early. But now because of that the madness has begun 😂

dizzy85 · 03/03/2020 07:27

@Swife oh wow they did test for lots. I'm gonna have a word with my dr if I'm not successful this month coz I have felt for a while now that my hormones aren't right. They just don't seem to take me serious though and say it's probably stress related🙄 I'm glad your getting good support from the obgyn and I'm sorry for your loss, it's an awful thing to go through. Let's hope we are all lucky this month 😊

Sho2207 · 03/03/2020 10:53

@dizzy85 ohh let's hope it is implantation! Every time I go to the toilet now I'm checking after I wipe 😂 no symptoms really, I had hip pain yesterday, and what felt like period pains but I'm trying not to think overboard. I'm quite a negative nelly so I just keep telling myself it hasn't happened this month 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

dizzy85 · 03/03/2020 19:27

@Sho2207 that would be amazing if it is implantation bleeding ive not had any since but only time will tell..hurry up time lol. I had a bit of pelvic pain too this morning. I really hope this is our months. My Sister in law just gave birth today it's made me want it to happen even more.

Sho2207 · 03/03/2020 20:19

@dizzy85 aw I really hope it was implantation for you!
Yeah I've had more pelvic pain today, fingers crossed for the both of us 🤞🏼
Aw congrats sister in law!
My friend is due to give birth start of April and I'm so excited for her, just hope it will be me soon 😂

dizzy85 · 04/03/2020 06:58

@Sho2207 lets hope it is us soon! I'm gonna test tomorrow I know it's stupidly early but I just can't be bothered to wait any longer 😂

Sho2207 · 04/03/2020 10:32

@dizzy85 I stupidly tested this morning, I don't know why because I knew I'd get a bfn, it's given me less hope for testing at the weekend

dizzy85 · 04/03/2020 12:04

@Sho2207 aw it's never nice seeing a bfn but your still super super early so try stay positive you've got plenty of time for that to change. I'm testing tomorrow bcoz my patience has run out and I'm bored waiting but I'm sure it's gonna be a bfn I just need to poas so I'm not gonna worry if its bfn I think a lot of people don't even implant till about 9dpo anyway so we still got time 😄

Sho2207 · 04/03/2020 12:28

@dizzy85 yeah I literally just decided to do it because I was bored and thought 'why not' I'm really hoping it does change because I feel like I'm getting slight cramps but not sure if I'm just symptom spotting or not😂 I always tell myself that 'I'm not gonna obsess this month' but always do. I really hope it's our month

NamechangeTTC · 04/03/2020 12:57

Can I join in?

Was due to ovulate tomorrow due to the app but LH tests started dropping (and didn’t hit peak). Technically now in the 2ww though!

dizzy85 · 05/03/2020 10:02

@Sho2207 bfn for me today, still very early though so didn't expect much but it does still disappoint no matter how much I try to tell myself otherwise lol I'll try again tomorrow. How you doing?

dizzy85 · 05/03/2020 10:03

@NamechangeTTC hey, welcome to the thread! Good luck in your tww.

Sho2207 · 05/03/2020 10:13

@dizzy85 aw sorry to hear! Hopefully there will be a faint line tomorrow for you!
I'm doing ok, haven't really had any other symptoms apart from the normal although feeling very very tired, and one of my boobs hurt.
I truly don't think it's my month to be honest, I'm staying optimistic about it though. I've told myself it will only be a couple of months and that's what I say every month 😂
