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.

@LV1987 my favourite past time is thinking about cake 😂

@polejunkie

If it happens it happens, I know all this will seem a distant memory when it does happen. Just not getting my hopes up, although I will probably freak if AF doesn’t show!

I'm out! Still no sign of my period but I had a pregnancy test done at the drs this morning and it was negative.

@Lozz22

Sorry to hear that, such a shame! Onto the next cycle! Xx

@kates21 - You are right, you'll forget about the months that it didn't happen because you'll have a new focus!

I just went to the shop and resisted buying a pregnancy test! Proud of myself haha

@Lozz22 at least you know, it sucks, but you know where you stand x

@polejunkie

Well done!!! Keep going you’ll know sooner or later & save a little on the bank balance haha

@TangBloodyFastic it's that bad that a colleague from across the room just said... I've heard you mention cake a lot today. I'm going to the bakery, would you like me to get cake?! 😂

@lv1987

So sorry only just seen your comment! Yes I tend to crave sweet things, but been the opposite this time!

@LV1987 not at all jealous whilst sat at my desk eating my crappy salad and trying desperately to ignore my sweet tooth (and crisps tooth!)
To make matters worse Asda have emailed me about a "recipes to indulge your sweet tooth" which includes a giant caramel round cake which looks so gorgeous I now want to leave work and go and bake the blasted thing! 🐷

Caramel cake omg 🤤

Caramel 😭🤤🤤🤤🤤

How we doing girls?

Had a couple sharp pains around belly button, slight cramps very small. Which lasted all of a couple seconds! Nothing else since, very out the ordinary for me. Comparing to last months I was in full crampy swing.

Morning!
Don't know whats going on with my body but spotting as turned into the beginnings of AF, nearly a week early???
Clotting and change of colour. I'm so confused, been using a period tracking app for 18months on and off and I've never been this early. CD 24. Don't know if to mark as period or not on my app?

I’d wait and see how it develops- sounds very odd, some people do bleed a lot during implantation...?

I’m rough, lower abdominal ache that hasn’t shifted for 3 days now, a kid that won’t sleep and my dads in hospital! Give me a break. Still having nightly sweats and on and off nausea - trying to keep an open mind but wouldn’t be surprised if I was pregnant. Tough week! X

Sorry to hear about your dad @polejunkie hope it's nothing serious.
Sounds promising for you! Maybe it's your silver lining to a rough week?
Yeah I'll just see what happens and just make notes in the app until I know for certain. Temp still elevated (36.75) but heating kicked in again overnight and I woke up warm so can't help think that is keeping my BBT higher
You think you know your body...... 🙄

That does sound like a tough week @polejunkie, when are you do AF again?

I've had some cramping this week, and a few quite sharp pains in my lower abdomen, but today I'm not feeling a great deal of anything besides my normal Thursday exhaustion. And the need for cake has not passed 😂🙄

Thanks @TangBloodyFastic

Due AF on Monday, may test this weekend - I'll see how I feel. You know the drill I'm scared of the disappointment, especially if I'm gunna get these symptoms every time, haha - two weeks is so long! I'm lucky my cycle is relatively short x

My symptoms could well be due to stress and lack of sleep x

@polejunkie

Good luck, I have everything crossed for you.

Today I have a very mild headache, just underneath nipples are starting to hurt. But that’s all, according to last months I was still experiencing cramping.

@Kates21 - Interesting that you are having different symptoms - That's the same as me... This time last cycle - NOTHING! But in the next 2 days I got headaches and cramps and came on 3 days early.

I'm 10dpo with AF due Mon (is that 5 days or 4 days, I don't know how you are meant to count the days when talking FRER...?!)

I feel like I was coping well and being chilled, but now I'm getting a little OTT help!!!

As it's valentines tomorrow, I'd love nothing more than to be able to write the V-day card to 'daddy' and that be how he finds out... He's not my LG's dad so he's not yet got that title xxx

@polejunkie

Same. My partner isn’t my sons dad, hasn’t got any children of his own! I’d love to be able to surprise him, I’m way off testing yet though!

I feel like a pig haha I’m eating everything in sight! I’m 6dpo so in the bracket for implantation!

This is where you start to notice every niggle I think

@polejunkie

I’m still all good, Iam logging but not looking for symptoms. I’m still very chilled! X

Well I'm totally flummoxed. This "period" is mostly old blood again no bright red. I am normally VERY heavy on the first day (super plus changed regularly) and have awful period pain (painkillers every 4 hours religiously) for 24hrs. Currently have no pain and am using the lightest tampax
Wtf is going on? 🤯
Even if I wasn't TTC I would be 🧐

@TangBloodyFastic - That sounds very strange, good that you're not in pain like normal, but also very confusing for you... The female body is rather odd I must say!

Is it enough blood for a tampax? I'm not sure what to suggest, other than wait it out (the worst advice, I know!)
