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.

@polejunkie I was holding back from posting something similar myself...I cannot commit to this not symptom spotting malarkey 😂 I've had some weird stabby pains in my hips and behind my belly button on and off since yesterday, and this morning a really metallic taste in my mouth. I think I had the same last month though sooooooo shrug

@AutumnCat, thank you - I love lush bath bombs (so does the OH) so that's as good an excuse as any to take a look!

Oh dear, it's going to be a long week haha!

I don't think the cramps are regular but what do I know - I definitely don't usually sweat... I'm 8dpo with 6 to go til AF so I feel it would be too early forAF symptoms. When I look back, I suffered with cramps but came on 3 days early, If I come on early again I'll be on about a 22 day cycle which is super odd. Always 24-26 here - It's definitely a waiting game! The suspense!

@LV1987 - What dpo are you? x

@polejunkie

That’s strange! Hopefully it’s a good sign for you! Xx

You know,

I’ve found it so easy to not symptom spot because every other month I’ve thought I was pregnant - this month I’m telling myself I’m not pregnant - so have found it so much easier! I have no idea what’s going on, all I know is I’m now 4dpo IF O occurred when my app says.
Currently now... I’m busting for a wee, my bladder feels incredibly full even tho I went an hour ago. But that is all x

Yeah, I don't want to get my hopes up but at the same time I feel quite relaxed about it all (I didn't last time...!)

Glad you're finding this month easier - I think the mental way to approach it is if you are you, will soon find out and it will be amazing, if you're not, you will still find out and when you know you're not it's a wave of relief that you know where you stand and then you just try again! x

@polejunkie

Yep! I agree.
Last cycle hurt, me and dp did test together and that was the worst... from a giggling smiley excitement to nothing.

So I’ve promised us both to just get on with it this month, if AF comes then we just try again. X

Bless you - I feel like I told my partner too much, like every symptom and therefore got his hopes up too, so I want to keep quiet and save him the disappointment if you get me. I'd just show him a positive test I think (if it happened) x

@polejunkie

I quite liked last month with him waiting with me for the test to load. So I’ll do that again... but no until AF hasn’t arrived. We made a decision that this will be the last month until August - I turn 30 then, plus we don’t want an xmas baby, or too close to my ds birthday in feb. Plus I’d love a summer baby. Xx

@kates21 - Fingers crossed for you this month then xxx

@polejunkie

And you! I hope to see some bfps x

@polejunkie my app says only 3dpo, but I think O day was slightly earlier so maybe more like 6dpo x

Ok so still have belly ache and can't stop salivating haha, how long is implantation cramping meant to last? There's definitely not spotting to go with it x

Morning all
Well I'm still spotting, which, I think, unusual. I was dead certain yest that this has NEVER happened before but today I'm thinking that it may have because when not TTC you pretty much ignore anything that goes on down there don't you?
So who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️
I'm not testing until i'm actually late and by a few days at least!

I agree with you @TangBloodyFastic - I just think we're hyper aware when we're trying to conceive! Lets just wait and see what happens x

How are you all today? I'm much the same here, although had a really rough night thanks to my 3 yr old and yet another cough! So am pretty tired x

Morning @polejunkie
I'm ok but STILL spotting very annoying if it's nothing to be excited about

Im also temping and my temps have been the highest since I started but not sure if that's because the central heating is kicking in overnight and I'm getting too hot? I've taken my temp at just after 4am yest and today because I keep waking up at that time and then unable to get back to sleep and you're supposed to take it as soon as you wake up. Because I'm waking at 4am im struggling to keep my eyes open past 8:30 on an eve, I feel like an 👵🏻

How are you?

I've had night sweats the last two nights which is odd... It all looks quite positive really, until AF comes and it's not pregnancy related at all lol. I'm 5 days out from AF, so Sore boobs, Cramping etc could well be put down to that in the coming days so unless I get sudden morning sickness or something i'm keeping an open mind - Still feeling quite relaxed, which I didn't last month so that's good.

I'm always asleep early, working full time and having a 3 yr old who doesn't always sleep well takes it's toll - Bring on another baby, hey! Must be mad! x

Hey girls!

All good here, had no cramps, sore boobs anything like my usual after ovulation. I’m still coping not symptom spotting, I will say I have noticed I felt ‘wetter’ down below, looking back on history this is new for me. Who knows! 5dpo today 😘

Weirdly had a craving for chips and gravy last night and my partner immediately said ‘preggers’ HAHA!

@polejunkie I'm 6 days off AF but not testing til I'm late

@kates21 I've had no cramps/sore boobs or anything other than this spotting which could just be AF being a d*ck.

Still relaxed about it all just can't help myself wondering......

@TangBloodyFastic

Sounds good though!! I hope AF isn’t playing up, takes the P*ss when it does that. Mine last month was on one.. I was spotting all over the place 8dpo, 10dpo, 12dpo & then period day early & lasted 4 days.

@kates21 annoying!
Mine at the moment is minuscule! I only notice if I go for a wee. Pathetic

@TangBloodyFastic

Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼

Positivity is key - There is no definitive answer in the 2WW is there, at least we have each other to talk to

I'm craving anything sweet right now @Kates21... That's pretty normal for me around mid-week though, when I start to get bored of being stuck at work all day. All I can think about is cake!!
