Hi!

I'm 1DPO today on my third month TTC baby number two. The last two cycles were strange for me as I had illnesses (flu then tummy bug) that delayed ovulation and so this feels like my first 'normal' cycle to TTC. I'm temping and using OPKs but unfortunately didn't get as many DTD sessions in as I'd like because DH was travelling. But hey it only takes one right...

Join me for 2WW and for a flurry of FRERs being opened for us all in late March!

Hi I'll join although I'm a few days ahead of you, I'm 6 dpo, promised myself I'm not going to symptom spot this month and I haven't yet lol, I'm cycle 2 TTC baby number 4. We did SMEP this cycle with preseed but only used that on the day of ovulation so time will tell I guess if it helps. And I'm beginning testing on Saturday at 8dpo early I know but I can't help myself lol x

@Maidmummy I'm also definitely not symptom spotting. My first month TTC I symptom spotted the entire two weeks only to realise that I'm crampy, gassy, hungry, tired and a little bit nauseous if I really pay enough attention to it! So I've completely stopped symptom spotting as I don't expect any symptoms in the two week wait (didn't have any for baby one)
I really wanted to do SMEP but DH was travelling with work so didn't quite make it.
I get so tempted to test from about 7Dpo which I know is madness. I'm going to wait until 11DPO or 10 if I can't bear it!
Best of luck!!!

Hi! Currently 5DPO cycle #7, AF due 26/27th. Absolutely no symptom spotting or early testing for me this month. There’s that much going on right now that it’s easy enough to be distracted! Honestly though, this is the first month ever where I won’t be too disappointed if AF arrives with this whole Coronavirus lark going on, I can’t afford to be forced off work!

@Nat4392 I know what you mean. We had a chat to discuss if we wanted to slow the TTC for a few months because of potential job insecurity (only one job at risk and we can live in one wage quite comfortably)
But we don't know how long TTC will take or how long all of this will be and we are prioritising aiming for a relatively close age gap between our first and the next baby.
But I agree I can't say I will be heartbroken with a BFN this month

7dpo and still not symptom spotting, this 2ww is flying by 😁 as for everything that's going on now me and DP are adamant we are not putting TTC on hold as we don't know how long it may take and don't want to be a year down the line kicking ourselves for putting it on hold when we really didn't need to. Even though the virus is spreading and DP is quitting his job today we will still get by financially even if another baby was to happen, whatever happened to what will be will be and sieze the day 😁

Hi all, hope you dont mind me joining.

I'm on cycle 6 of ttc, 7/8 dpo. I ovulated about a week late this month, got 16 flashing smiley faces on the clearblue digital opk before static! I think because of that I already feel like I'm out this month so feeling a lot more chilled during this tww. Normally I'm symptom spotting like crazy.

How are you all doing?

bernardswatchplease · 26/03/2020 08:31

How is everyone?

No luck for me. Raging AF 😭

bernardswatchplease · 31/03/2020 15:26

Same. Shortest cycle I've ever had and a few BFNs prior to AF's arrival. Bummed out
