2ww buddies welcome!

[SaharaRoxy]

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!

@dizzy85
I went doctors and filled out a form for the midwives to be in contact, I spoke to the receptionist and she said to see how it goes today and if I'm still worried tomorrow to give them a call and they'll book me in with a doctor.
Ah I've got my fingers crossed for you!🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Sho2207 af turned up today 😭😭😭

@dizzy85
Oh I'm sorry 😓😓
Bring on next month!
I hope next month is your month! 🤞🏼❤️

@Sho2207 Thankyou, it's disappointing but at least now I can stop guessing what's going on and focus on the next. How are you feeling today? Did you do anything different before you got your bfp and do you take any vitamins or anything? I'm thinking to try the pregnacare again his and hers as the month I did conceive I had started them about a month before so think I'll do that again and see.

@dizzy85 yeah exactly! Focus on next month now☺️
I'm feeling ok, still getting some spotting but found out earlier that you don't have to implant to get a positive on a test, I always thought that the 'implantation' sent out the hcg hormone but the hormone comes before. So I'm not worrying as much now because it could be implantation, I did another test this morning to make sure the hormone was getting stronger and it said 2-3 weeks so I'm happy☺️ last time I never got past the 1-2 week mark so this is an improvement.

I used ovulation tests and was having sex so much to the point of not wanting to do it anymore😂. So we had sex everyday of the fertile window but missed out the day I ovulated. I was taking the pregnacare but stopped taking them the month I conceived because I didn't feel like they were helping me 🤦🏻‍♀️

So I'm ttc cycle 11. I'm so discouraged! I'm 39 as of January and I'm beginning to think my cm is killing my Husband's sperm and I will never be a mother😒. I'm with giving up or gonna keep trying till it's over. Y mind is garbled and I'm having mixed feelings. In reality I know I don't have much time so I'm thinking...is it worth the sad feeling after every TWW? Long story short. My af came today so I'm out😔.

@dizzy85 let's pray for next month😁. I'm discouraged but I'm not giving up

@Sho2207 glad to hear everything is going good and getting stronger 🥰 I might try the pregnacare see if it helps, my af has just finished so will be starting all the madness again soon🙄😂

@Swife oh I'm really sorry your af showed 😭 I hope your ok, I feel your pain it does get exhausting mentally and physically each month getting nowhere. I just tell myself that it will happen one day and try to be hopeful but i do know how you feel, have you spoke to the dr about your concerns? Can your cm kill the sperm Is that a thing? I'm at that point now too where I think can I even be bothered anymore but then I'll get near ovulation and I just get straight back into it again.

@dizzy85
Thank you, the spotting finally came to an end a few days ago so I think it was either implantation or where I was supposed to be due af.
I'm trying to enjoy every part of it but I also worry so much, Everytime I feel a cramp I assume I'm having a miscarriage 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm nearly 5 weeks so no where near out the danger zone

@dizzy85 I'm feeling down but I surely want to keep going because my desire is strong. Yes if our cm is too acidic then it can certainly kill the sperm. But I finally told my mom that we're trying and told her my concerns and she let me know that it's a thing with the women in our family having really acidic cm. She gave me some good advice how getting a ph balancing wash along with some other things she did to solve the issue. So we'll try again with those adjustments and see

@Swife that's interesting to know definitely something I wouldn't have thought of, what kind of ph wash do you mean like femfresh or something? I hope it works out for you 🤞🏻

@Sho2207 that's good the spotting stopped, I hope your doing good now. I know it's worrying but try not to get too stressed if you can.

We have decided to give this month a break from trying not an easy decision to make at all but we are going to see how things are progressing with this virus situation as it's been stressing us out and I think I it's not the right thing to do when we are stressing and I also want to focus on looking out for family and friends and hopefully next month things will feel abit better.

@dizzy85
Happy to say I've had no more spotting and finally reached my 3+ on a clearblue😂 I told myself as soon as I see that 3+ I'll stop testing and enjoy it.
I've got my first appointment April 14th.
Not really having any new symptoms, no sickness or nausea, no constipation. I still worry every time I get cramps though, just have to keep reminding myself that it's bits and bobs stretching out.

Yeah I don't blame you having a break, it's such a stressful environment to be in at the moment. I'm really hoping it all blows over soon, it's making me depressed 😩

@dizzy85 I'm not sure which one to use as I forgot to ask her.. but I will let you know

So some of you may know my ttc drama. For those of you who don't...39, 2 ectopics, 1 tube, 1 early miscarriage and 1 non viable 😒. Also never had Egg White CM so I think my CM is murdering hubby's sperm😞. That being said I was gonna to spend money on Preseed and other helpers as well as speak to my OBGYN. But due to the darn virus 🦠, I just changed my diet more and started upping my vitamin C, along with back to taking prenatal vitamins and vitamin E vaginally. I'm also taking Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Fish Oil, and Flaxseed Oil. All Along with the Letorozle given to induce ovulation.

So I changed my LH Testing time to 12 in the afternoon thinking the earlier the better (I was testing at 2pm) not a good idea because I haven't been catching my peak for the last 2 cycles 😞. Tip: don't change what's not broken!

So I tested at 12 and it was super low. Around 6pm I go pee and when I wipe, I see it...this clear gel looking stuff and I'm immediately excited 😆! I check inside and YEP, sure enough it's The Illusive EGG WHITE CM🤗😁😆!! Of course we immediately did the BD. And then I say hmmm, let's test that LH and low and behold I'm in Peak!

Just when I was sure this would never be my dream met, it's small things like this that give me hope.

@Swife oh yay! So happy for you! I have everything crossed! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks @Sho2207😁. I'm now in my TWW and will try to it to test until the 11th of April! I will try to make it😊

@dizzy85 hey! How you been doing? Thought I'd check up ☺️

@Swife hey! How's the tww coming along?

@Sho2207 hey I'm doing ok Thankyou, I've been rubbish at messages on here lately with all what's been going on I've been distracted. Anyway how are you getting on? How is being pregnant in this weird time feeling? Do you have to stay home completely?
As for me we decided to have a break but ended up having a drunken slip up one night and when I checked my calendar the next day it was on predicted ovulation day so I ended up back in the tww, so my af is due in 2 days and I've not bothered to test just gonna wait. I have no symptoms at all apart from my usual pre af spotting that starts a week before is nowhere to be seen🤷‍♀️

@Swife how are you getting on in your tww?

@dizzy85 aw good, it's a little stressful. I'm still working because I'm in a supermarket unfortunately 😩 I took two weeks off to self isolate because I just wanted to get away from it all, and I've just taken this week off as holiday. Go back Friday and I really don't feel safe 😖.
Over the last couple days I've been spotting as well so I'm a little worried. I've got an early scan on Wednesday to make sure everything's ok, but even that's worrying because I'll be completely by myself if the worst is to happen 😖.
Ooh fingers crossed!! I didn't have any symptoms really apart from more spots than usual! And I was certain it wasn't happening for me! X

@Sho2207 oh no i feel sorry for you, I couldn't handle working in a supermarket right now it's scary enough having to go. Do you not have to isolate for 12 weeks being pregnant? I swear I read something but it's always changing so fast but it's worth checking out. Hope your ok and stay as safe as you can and Thankyou for the work you've been doing aswell❤️ I always feel really bad that people working in supermarkets still have to carry on.
Oh I hope the spotting is all just normal 🤞🏻 are you not allowed to take your OH in with you then for the scan?
I completely understand the worry but try to stay calm as hard as that is.
Well I will be completely shocked if I get a bfp tbh as no feelings whatsoever and we only dtd that once, I'll obviously be happy if it is but also I won't be as upset as usual if not only because we were having a little break and I'm stressed out with how everything is going in the world but I think things happen when they're meant to do will see in a few days. X

@dizzy85
Unless you're in your 3rd trimester then I think you just have to be really careful. My place couldn't care less about how I feel, hence why I have to go back to work otherwise they won't pay me. Yeah it's very stressful especially when you do get a percentage who are just plain rude.
I started to clot a little so I'm worrying even more now, my partner seems to still think everything is ok but me on the other hand am thinking worst case senario.
Not allowed anyone with you for any scans or antenatal classes now, I think some hospitals are trying to limit women having a birth partner.
Aw I really hope it's good news for you this month! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@Sho2207 & @dizzy85, I'm trying so hard!!! I'm 9DPO and I'm just being as chill as possible and taking my round of Progesterone. It's so nerve racking 😫! I'm gonna try not to test until I'm officially late, let's see if I can do it. I also have to order more strips for LH and HCG.

@Swife
You've done well so far!!
Not long to go now!
I had my early scan this morning. I was going by the day of my last period so was thinking I'm gonna see an 8 week foetus on the screen and hear a heartbeat, was very worried when I didn't hear one. Turns out since conception I'm only 5 weeks and 6 days, took a while to actually find the flutter of a heartbeat because it's so tiny, but was so relieved when they eventually saw it. I've got to go back in two weeks time to make sure everything's progressing, it's just very confusing as to why I'm passing blood 🤷🏻‍♀️ the little arrows on the photo show just how small peanut is. Praying it sticks so much!
I'm gonna try not to worry too much over the next couple weeks and just enjoy the fact I saw the flutter 🥰

@Sho2207 awww that's so lovely 🥰 I'm happy for you I bet you feel so much better after hearing the heart beat, beautiful picture!
Definitely just try to relax now and stay safe too. Are you gonna go back to work?
@Swife hope things are going well and your still chilling 😁

Well as for me my af was due today but nothing, I did have a tiny bit of spotting when I woke up but nothing since. I've not tested yet coz I think it's highly unlikely and I don't have any symptoms so I'm just gonna leave it and just see.

@dizzy85
Couldn't hear the heartbeat unfortunately because was too early, but could just about see the flutter on the screen. Looking forward to going back in 2 weeks to actually hear the heartbeat.
I'm still just confused as to why I'm bleeding and having pains 😩
My company have now told us that pregnant women who don't feel safe coming back to work can take 12 weeks fully paid. I'm gonna take a further two weeks off until I have my next scan and go from there.

Ooh good sign that you haven't started yet, getting any cramps to suggest af will be arriving? Do you normally have any af symptoms?
