2WW - join in!!!!!!!

[Nannon145]

Hey everyone! I'm currently on CD16 and am 1DPO.

I thought I would create a group that everyone can join (I know there's a lot out there but thought I'd start one so people can join who are in the same time frame as me)

This is our first cycle after a miscarriage at 5 weeks so hoping that we get our rainbow baby 🌈 👶🏼

Feel free to join, tell me your stories, let's get through this 2WW wait together!! lol!

@emvy I feel completely normal! Got breakout of spots on both sides of my jaw/neck but maybe is pre-period spots... Weds can't come soon enough 🤣

Thanks @AlisonLew15! I really understand what you mean. Once you’ve had a miscarriage, that positive test is never quite the same again. I really hope you do get a positive this month & when you do, make sure you speak to your midwife about how you’re feeling. Mine was brilliant when I was pregnant with DS after my miscarriages, it really helps.

@SarahTTC2020 I’m sure it’s not! Probably just all those pregnancy hormones! I was never sure what this “glow” people go on about was!!

How’s everyone doing? Sorry I’ve been quiet. Not conceiving last month hit me just as hard as the miscarriage the month before did. Really really wanted to get that positive and didn’t unfortunately ☹️

This month, we’ve tried again but I’ve not been doing any OPKs, we’ve just literally had sex everyday and enjoyed ourselves. Had a bit of fun with it. Judging by my app, I’m not 4DPO but don’t know when I actually ovulated so not sure if that’s right or not 🤷🏼‍♀️ really hoping for my positive this month!!!!

How’s everyone else doing?

Nannon, same... just trying to enjoy it this month with pressure off. My OH even said he feels less pressure this month. X

CD15 today and I had my static smiley 2 days ago so I suppose i am or 2 DPO today. Here goes for a long 2 weeks! Anyone else in the same boat?

@glasses2020 yeah, I feel like the pressure has been off this month too. I don’t know how I’m gonna feel if it’s another negative at the end of the month though 😩

@ALew15 hey!! I’m 5DPO judging by my app but not tracked this month so god knows if that’s correct or not. I hate this waiting period. Always makes me so nervous 😩

@Nannon145 my app reckons I'm about 7dpo today but I too took a much more laid back approach this month, haven't really tracked anything this time around, but I was called back to work on the 8th so that helps with not being over obsessive about it all 😊 good luck to you this month 🤞 xx

@KatieG200394 exactly the same as me! I was called back on 8th and it’s been so nice working because this isn’t the only thing I’m thinking about anymore, definitely took my mind off it.
Feeling guilty this morning though because I had a few to drink last night, and I’m 8DPO today and feel like what if that has affected my chances because I had a few too many 😩

I don't know if this is the right thread but really wanting someone to talk to about it! I am ovulating today according to digital test that showed me a nice smiley face this morning We DTD Friday night / early hours Sat morning - so roughly 48-72 hrs before ovulation (depending on whether I'm ovulating right now or tomorrow). Is there any chance of conception??

Yes absolutely! Sperm can live for 5 days in the female bossy. And you are also not always 100% sure when you ovulate.

I am CD20 and still don't think I have ovulated this cycle 😞

For some reason, I keep randomly heaving this morning. I don’t know why but that’s my symptom of the day 🤣🤣 I’m hoping that’s good news, and I’m not just being a weirdo today. 9DPO today.

@LouJ85 yes they say that doing it before is best because then the sperm is waiting there for when the egg is released!!! Fingers crossed for you!

Hey everyone!

I believe I am joining the TWW now 🤞🏼 I’m 27, this is Cycle 1 of TTC following my coil removal on 12th June which was CD2 for me.

I stopped using the cheap strip OPKs on CD15 as they were stressing me out. So I just stuck to once a day with the clear blue smiley sticks. Finally got my static smile on Saturday (CD17). Unsure though if I start counting DPO from Saturday or Sunday? 🤔

So I am either 1 or 2 DPO. Either way we DTD very regularly this month including Friday, Saturday and yesterday just to be sure!

Now I just have to find the will power to wait to test 😩 it’s our 5 year anniversary on Friday so I’d love to have something to show but I’d only be around 6 DPO so I’m guessing that would be a waste of a test?

Good luck to all x

I honestly didn't think it'd be possible as it was almost 72 hrs ago since we DTD. I know sperm can live a few days but wasn't sure how "fresh" they would be and whether that actually works?! I also only came off the pill 3 weeks ago - we had planned to wait a few cycles and get an idea what my body is doing but got carried away a few times! Not sure what the odds are on conceiving on first cycle after stopping the pill.

Heaving sounds awful, hope you feel better soon and finders crosses for your BFP!

@Nannon145 oh nice, we can go through it together, I wouldn't think it should matter too much for a one off, I don't think it will affect your chances anyway ☺ when are you going to test? ☺ I'm tring to hold out until AF is due but the closer I get to AF being due, the more nervous I get about it all xx

I took a FRER this morning at 10DPO and got a BFN 🙁

I just couldn’t resist testing this morning and now I wish I hadn’t!

@KatieG200394

@KatieG200394 sorry was in a rush this morning so couldn’t really send a long message. Yes so I took FRER and it looked negative but when I took a closer look I thought I might have seen a line but don’t know whether it’s just line eyes. Took it out the packet so I just had the strip to look at and I could see a vvvvvvvvvvvfl but at this point it had gone past the 3 minutes so don’t know whether it was just an evaporation line or what. Which is why I’m so annoyed at myself for testing early now. Gonna wait till Thursday now before I test again but fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Not getting my hopes up though

@nannon do you have a pic?

I had a vvvvvfl with Clearblue early response yesterday and again this morning.

I think I mentioned previously that I just ‘felt pregnant’ straight away which is rather silly but I’m hoping that this is the start of something. I first done a Clearblue at 7dpo and it was a BFN, I tried again yesterday and got what I think is a BFP, albeit very faint.

This is only our 1st cycle and 1st time TTC so I’m just taking each day as it comes. AF is due on Sat/Sun so I’ll test again then if it doesn’t arrive.

@Boredinthehouse12 it was so faint I couldn’t even get it on a picture!!! It was a proper squinter.

Oooh fingers crossed for you then!!!!!!! That’ll be so excited if you are!

I've got my fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies! I'm a tad behind you all - I'm only on day 2 of ovulation. Is it supposed to hurt?! I've been on the pill so long I can't remember if I used to get ovulation pain but I definitely feel something uncomfortable happening!

@LouJ85 I do feel a little bit uncomfortable during ovulation so you’re not alone

@Nannon145 that sounds really hopeful though ☺ I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for a BFP on Thursday, I'm so tempted to test too but not sure when tbh xx

@Boredinthehouse12 congratulations xx

@LouJ85 I get a pain down one side when I ovulate, its normal though ☺ xx

@KatieG200394 how many DPO will you be on Thursday?

I don’t know whether to take another test tomorrow morning or wait for Thursday morning
