TTC ..... those with TWW Starting around 11feb ?come keep me company !!!

[Donnat89]

Hi all ,

I want some company .... currently in my 10 month of TTC after a miscarriage last March at 14 weeks

Due to ovulate around the 10th so my TWW will start around the 11th

Anyone else in the same boat ? Let's keep each other company

Ps I need support not to test early as drove myself mad last month !

Xxx

@Adrianoska any news? Xxx

Hi ladies sorry I've been quiet it's been busy here !

Ovulation is today but we DTD last night and will some for every day / every other day next few days to make sure we cover all basis , but judging by CM defo ovulating so will have to wait and see

Good luck to everyone testing hope you get your BFPS ! X

@Donnat89 lovely to hear from you! Baby dust to you during FW!

2DPO and I can't stop checking my app to see how many days until I can legitimately test 😂. What a slog!

😔BFN.... 10dpo, still early, but it still hurts... 😢💔

@Adrianoska sorry about the BFN but it is still early wait a few more days and try again

@Juno231 don't I'm dreading the wait again this month just hope my cycle goes back to normal after last months change ! I'm gonna try keep busy and not test until at least 11 DPO but that's easier said than done !

Hope you get your BFP ! X

@Adrianoska sorry about your negative but it is still very early days.

Wow many of us in the TWW this week! The lack of distractions is definitely not helping the time pass any quicker for me!

@Skyla01 I know what you mean my 2ww doesn't start until tomorrow but I'm dreading it as there is so little to distract myself with ! So just gonna have to try and find things to do ! X

Yes... I just KNOW its not happening. And then I am blaming myself for this lack of faith and I think I am making it only worse.

😑

I just had a tiny bit of spotting... could it be implantation?! I'm only 10dpo so surely AF wouldn't come this early. Almost wish I hadn't seen it now, argh! Going to do some fertility yoga to chill out!

@Adrianoska and everyone we need to be chilled & positive and hope that the time until BFP flies by!

I like to think that when I eventually get my bfp and a healthy pregnancy I'll look back and think- what was I fussing about for all those months?

@Skyla01 sounds promising! Can't wait until the end of the week when you'll know for sure.

Now I'm off to double check the caffeine maximums as I could kill for a coffee in the sun ☀

@Donnat89 my 2ww starts tomorrow too! OPK strong positive yesterday afternoon up until this afternoon, now reducing. Had some ovulation pains this morning too and my CM seems consistent with ovulating imminently! DTD Sunday night, last night and this morning. Its our first cycle! I'd love to have a partner in the 2ww! When is AF due for you?

@Juno231 I hope so!! Feel like painful af type cramps too, although not due until Friday. Or maybe it's all in my head...!

Did you get your sunny coffee? I think it's 1 mug a day? That's what I have, although got a nice decaf I have sometimes during the tww.

@Skyla01 per some chart I looked at I could squeeze in 3 teas and one instant coffee (200mg tally) so that's exactly what I did today - most of them in the sun! I've actually caught a tan over the last couple of days which has made me feel so much more alive and happy :)

If AF is on Fri will you be waiting until then to test? Will be thinking of you then.

@Juno231 very nice! It has sunny but not that warm where I am up north but glad someone is getting nice spring weather!

Yup my plan is to test on Monday if AF doesn't show. I dream of AF being late so i get to test but she always comes on time! Not that I should complain, it's good to have regular cycles. I just checked- haven't done a pregnancy test since June.

@Skyla01 wow your willpower is incredible, I'm lucky if I get to 11 DPO! I'm sorry you didn't get better weather though - it's been like 20 degrees here in London! Got a South facing balcony so worked most of the day from there.

@MrsEmilyB af is due on 22 as my cycles are 27days , however I was like 4 days late last cycle so who knows this cycle although all the signs are good that I am back on a 27 day cycle had left sided pain all day so may be ovulation pains gonna DTD again and hopefully we should be covered x

@Donnat89 I was late last cycle too! My Cycles are generally 31 days, but last time it was 47!!! I definitely blame the stress of everything going on in the world right now. I might try and persuade hubby to DTD again tomorrow morning, just to make sure!

@Juno231 a balcony in the sun sounds lovely! And great you have some outside space to enjoy too.

@MrsEmilyB we try and get in an extra DTD at the end of fertile week, just to make sure we haven't stopped too early. I find changes I get in cm are quite good at telling me that fw is over.

For those in the TWW I would recommend "gentle yoga for the tww" by Bettina Rae, I would this short work out on YouTube. Been doing it most days and found it relaxing. Although now I'm at the end of the wait I'm struggling!

Hi all hope everyone is well, I'm entering FW so we have gone with the option of DDT every other day. According to my app ovulation is Sat and I'm hoping that's right. I really think I missed OD last month as I had a very short cycle so I think I ended up O later than I thought
I only use my app, I don't temp or use OPKs but I'm going to try keep an eye on CM this month now too. Question (sorry if TMI) but do you ladies just look at the toilet paper or how are you monitoring it? (Sorry)! TIA x

@MrsEmilyB yes I put it down to stress too as there is no other reason for it !

Yes we will keep DTD as much as possible just to make sure we don't miss a chance but we've done all we can do now so it's just a waiting game , I hate the TWW so I've saved lots of stuff to do to keep me busy !

Officially 1DPO today so the wait has begun !

Fingers crossed for everyone! Xx

@Donnat89 this will be my first ever 2WW - any tips?!

@Skyla01thank you - I'm never adverse to a few more baby dances anyway haha.

3DPO here and starting to look at the calendar for when 9 DPO would be just in case I get any implantation symptoms lol. Purely doing it to break up the TWW.

Been taking omega 3 but can't locate my pregnacare vits, I may have packed them away for when we got the flat ready for sale last month. Should probably get back on them - only gave them a break cause I was worried they lengthened my cycle (and I was 4 days late that month so they probably did!). Once/if I get a BFP I think I'll give iodine a go too. Supposed to be good for brain development and I've always been paranoid about not getting enough here since I left my home country where all table salt is enriched with it.

@MrsEmilyB to be honest no I'm usually
Ok for the first week then start symptom
Spotting line a mad woman , I would say just try stay busy like @Juno231 I'm gonna try see when 9DPO is to see if I get any implantation symptoms but usually I get SF symptoms for a bout a week before so I will
Know if they start it's another month of BFN
for me I'm gonna try not to test o have no ICS anyway and only
Digital ones which are not sensitive enough for early
Testing so i hope I'll be able to hold out xx

@Ivoryjane it depends on how much cm you produce. If you have lots you might see it on loo roll. But the best way to look for it is to get your finger up there...! Sorry, TMI, but there isn't a better way to explain. I've heard some women can have ewcm that always stays up around the cervix without coming out. Have you noticed ewcm before? That is meant to be the best fertile mucous you should see around ovulation. It really does look like egg white and it stretchy. You can Google to get some pictures (if you want...!).

Thanks so much @Skyla01 for answering that for me. I know its a bit TMI but good to know. I have noticed it before as EWCM but wasn't tracking it for O at the time. I'm gonna do as we are for now this month (DTD every other day, using the app and now try see EWCM) and if no BFP I'm gonna look more into either temping or OPKs from there on. Such a cycle and I know the TWW is gonna be torture as WFH (same as most people now)! I'm trying to stay positive now too and not get too bogged down with it all (easier said than done)!
