Back in the 2WW

[Kates21]

So, the subject says it all! Although I feel I may have more a chance this month.
I came off the pill December - last month we was out. But this month, I apparently ovulated yesterday 12/01/20. We did the deed twice 2 days before ovulation... so today Iam 1dpo.

Anyone in the same that wants to join?
I really want to try not symptom spot, but yesterday I felt the cramps - which led me to think it was ovulation.

Hey @Wackadoodle84

Welcome, thanks for joining!
When is af due? I’m also 1dpo... according to my app. DTD two days before Ovulation, hoping this is the one!

I hope this is your time! Fingers crossed! X

I've been using the Period Tracker app since I had my DD. I have it switched on to TTC mode and it seems to be right (when my body isn't being ridiculous for no reason!)
I've recently downloaded Femometer as I've seen it recommended on other groups. Ive just gone for the free option, but you can take pics of your OPKs and it tells you if its low, high or a super peak. It seems useful, but I've only been using for a month.

@sh84, sex during the TWW just depends if I can be bothered! I wouldn't not though....if i had the energy

I’ve just downloaded Glow App, seems pretty good actually - and it’s saying the same dates at my other 2 apps... so hopefully I got it yesterday when I ‘ovulated’.

What are your thoughts on doing a WhatsApp group?

Thanks @kates21, af is due on the 27th, am hoping I can hope out on testing until at least 12dpo

Speaking of testing - I’ve just bought a load of cheap strip tests of amazon! So atleast I can use them before buying expensive ones!

I use clue app and femometer :) says period is due 26th Jan!

Umm we are probably thankful to lay off the sex for a while - did it 9 times in the last 2 weeks and that's enough for now hahaha 🤣🤣

@Kates21 I’ve only used clue so got nothing to compare it to & only started tracking cycle from September when I got my first period after giving birth. It seems pretty accurate so far but I only used OPKs for 1 month & have never done BBT but since sept it’s been spot on. Sex in the TWW- conflicting advice, no hard evidence either way, sex causes the uterus to contract therefore could prevent implantation but then the other end says the contractions help the embryo, I see the logic for arguing against sex in the TWW. I had a CP in October & had sex the day before I started bleeding so can’t help thinking that was something to do with it, I don’t want to tell OH I don’t want it as I don’t want it to be all about baby making but I just don’t want to do anything that could prevent anything. This is me taking the relax approach (rolls eyes)

@sh84
Ohhhh I never knew this about sex during TWW, Interesting... so many different things on the internet!
The apps I have all say the same dates & last month the app predicted my af and af arrived that day... so pretty sure they are good enough!

@Anny27 Same period due then, I’m going to start testing from 21st because I’m a nightmare basically haha! Wow that’s a lot of sex, I have high hopes for you.
I only managed it twice 😫 xx

1dpo - I'm 40 with DS15, he was a lovely surprise discovered at 24weeks so all this trying is super new to me!

@sh84 I hear you on trying to be "relaxed" but aware!

@ipodtherforipoor Isn’t it just the worst lol! I’m 1dpo too! X

Hi ladies, can I join in too?
I think I ovulated on 9/1, our first proper month TTC. I've got PCOS with my last period being back in March last year. I had an induced one back in November, and appear to have ovulated according to my OPKs this month, so fingers crossed!

Hey @mrscg2020

Welcome, thanks for joining :)
Exciting!! Hopefully, fingers are crossed for you! X

Hi ladies, can I join for the 2WW please? I had a positive opk and ewcm yesterday so will be testing on the 26th. Wishing BFPs for everyone xx

Hey @bobbelle

Thanks for joining!
So are you 1dpo?

If so I’m 1dpo, been having cramps yesterday (ovulation) and cramps throughout today! Also a heavy bloated achey tummy! Lots of wee’s and so thirsty!

Can I join? Think I'm 1DPO today, one of my apps is saying ovulation today mind so I DTD yesterday and today just incase (DTD 5 times over the last 1.5 weeks so hopefully enough). Hope we all get some luck! X

@Kates21 I am fairly certain I am 1dpo. I lost my son at 21 weeks last month and haven't had AF since but had a positive opk and ewcm yesterday and the 2 days before so am going to go with ovulation yesterday and see if I can hold out until the 26th before I test

Hey @Mamahannah2019

Welcome!!
I’m 1dpo too, ovulated yesterday according to apps although I’m sure I did my cramps were full force and had some today! Fingers crossed! DTD two days before ovulation twice late Friday Eve.

@Bobbelle

I’m so sorry to hear that hun ❤️
Fingers crossed for you that your time comes and runs smoothly!

Hello ladies 👋 please can I join?
This is my first cycle actively TTC after having mmc from an accidental (but very much wanted) pregnancy in November at 12 weeks (baby only measured around 10 weeks).

I haven’t used OPKs or temping etc, I just know my cycle and signs from my body to know when to dtd around ovulation! I think I either ovulated yesterday or today going by cramps... so going to say tomorrow I will be 1dpo!

Excited to be in the TWW with you all and hopefully we’ll have some BFPs in the next couple of weeks! AF due 28th Jan xxx

Hey @MilsCookie

Welcome!!
Sorry to hear about your MMC ❤️

I’ve always listened to my body, apart from using apps! I was cramping yesterday & today slightly, although yesterday was much more frequent - according to app yesterday was ovulation day. So I’m 1dpo with af due 26th!

Good luck! Can’t wait to see if any of us have a BFP xx

Thanks @Kates21 😘 yeah I use the Flo app!

Also can’t wait to see if anyone gets a BFP this cycle! Xxx

@MilsCookie

I use period tracker too, it’s quite good I prefer it to flo if I’m honest. Flo is always a day out, where period tracker has always been bang on with af due dates etc.

It’s exciting isn’t it, I can’t wait to see if any of us get BFP

Trying not to symptom spot, ovulated Sunday according to app had cramps, yesterday cramps & today cramps.. I’m writing down each day in my notes to keep track!

@Kates21 it’s so hard isn’t it! I’ve had some strange cramps today that don’t feel like AF or ovulation so god knows what they are! I don’t know when I ovulated but I’m thinking it was yesterday so not sure how many dpo I am. Just gonna go with the flow and if AF doesn’t show up by 31st Jan I will do a test!

@MilsCookie

Hey.
I’ve had cramps since Sunday - but I can never tell the difference between AF and Ovulation, I just know it’s not AF lol! And I’ve read you can cramp for a few days after Ovulation.... who knows! I bought some cheap tests off amazon... AF is due 26th, so I’m going to test from 21st (delivery test date) xx
