Needing more 2WW buddies...

Hello.

Im currently 8-9 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due around June 5th!

Anyone in a similar place - we can support each other and talk (while avoiding driving ourselves crazy with too much symptom spotting lol) xx

MUMSNET - I posted this to conception.. I have no idea why the app has popped it into potty training - could it be moved, please?

We'll move it over now, OP. Flowers

OnNaturesCourse · 30/05/2020 21:12

Thank you.

Hopefully I'll find some buddies now 😂

Hi, sorry... made me laugh that it posted it to potty training first... 🤣

AF is due for me around the same time as you. We haven't been actively trying this month (plan to start next month) but since my app's predicted ovulation date (totally reliable... 🙄😂) we haven't used any protection so who knows.

Just thought we seem to be on a similar cycle so thought it might be nice to leave a message.

Have you been TTC for long?

OnNaturesCourse · 30/05/2020 23:36

Hello 😊

I find its the cycles when you "don't try" that people end up falling PG on! So you never know. Fingers crossed.

We've only been trying a month for DC2.
With DC1 it took 2 cycles and a withdraw bleed from the pill. So we were lucky with her.

I'm just far too impatient for the 2WW, I want to test as soon as ovulation is over!

Hey there! I'm due 5th of June too! First month TCC though!

OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 00:00

Hi Hilly!

Yes, it's our first month too!

Are you holding off testing until after 5th?

OP posts:
Buns05 · 31/05/2020 09:33

Well I guess it would take the stress away if I found out I was pregnant this month... unlikely though 🤣

Sounds like things happened quickly with your 1st so hopefully it will this time too 🤞🏻

Are you going to wait until 5th to test?

Piccalily19 · 31/05/2020 09:40

Hi! Im due on Tuesday and it’s our first month TTC too so thought I’d join! I’ve told myself I’m not allowed to test until my period is actually late so guessing I’ll test on Wednesday if AF doesn’t show.

We’re trying to be relaxed about it all for now but the waiting/symptom stopping is driving me mad already haha! I really can see how ladies who’ve been trying to ttc for a while get disheartened!
It will be baby no1 for us if this works.

Good luck to you all Flowers

OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 09:54

Buns - I have some cheap Internet tests arriving on Monday and I have no will power so its doubtful I will make it to the 5th lol.

OP posts:
OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 09:56

Piccalilly - your cycle sounds similar to mine, do you think you'll be able to hold off on testing? Im also too impatient. I've already tested with month lol got a BFN at 8dpo. Don't know why I do it to myself lol.

OP posts:
Piccalily19 · 31/05/2020 11:33

@OnNaturesCourse i think I’m going to have to wait it out as if I tested early i wouldn’t believe a faint positive if I got one anyway! But don’t blame you caving in already lol, 2 weeks feels like forever doesn’t it?!😂
Have you had any symptoms? I suppose at least having been pregnant before means you know what to expect in your own body 😊

lucyrp · 31/05/2020 11:53

I'm in my TWW now but could be 6dpo or 11dpo so waiting as long as I can to test 🙈

OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 17:11

Hi Lucy

Recognise your name from the 50 shades bus 😂 how are you?

OP posts:
OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 17:13

Piccalilly - on and off symptoms that could easily be just AF gearing up to arrive. DP did say my boobs were huge yesterday so that could be a thing I guess. DC1 is 2 but honestly I can't remember a thing about it, I did have a diary then so I have been looking back over it lately lol. How you doing today?

OP posts:
lucyrp · 31/05/2020 17:16

@OnNaturesCourse yes I recognised your name too, I try not to comment on too many threads because I can hardly keep up with that one never mind loads of others 😂 I'm okay thanks feeling a bit rubbish today and a bit negative. Seeing the BFPs on the 50 shades bus makes me want to test but I don't want to at the same time as nervous incase I get a faint like last cycle and it turns out to be another loss ☹️🙈how are you ?

OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 18:35

I'm good thanks 😊 I was struggling to keep up with 50 shades thread so popped this thread up as a easier pace lol.

I got a BFN lately, but I'm going to test again tomorrow, maybe Tuesday. I've ran out of IC which is the only reason I can't test just now haha.

OP posts:
lucyrp · 31/05/2020 18:52

@OnNaturesCourse I think the earliest I'm going to test is next Thursday which will make me 10dpo or 16dpo so much safer and if nothing then will wait until AF. I say that now but will probs turn into a crazy POAS woman 😂😂 oh no fingers crossed for you🤞🏼 I feel like I've done everything I could this month without being overly obsessed but always worry don't you

MrsLully · 31/05/2020 19:26

Hey there! I'm 2 DPO at the moment, can I join?

lostfrequencies · 31/05/2020 19:39

I'm due around the 5th too... trying my hardest not to test early this month.

OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 21:36

Lucy, yeh you do worry.. DP said to me today "I'm not stressing about it, it'll happen when it happens" and I'm sat there like easy for you to say lol.

OP posts:
OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 21:37

Welcome @MrsLully . Everybody is welcome here, join us in impatiently waiting lol. How are you? Have you been TTC long?

OP posts:
OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 21:39

@lost it's so hard not to test. I just want to know lol I'm 10 DPO now so I'm thinking it should show... But I've no tests lol

OP posts:
lucyrp · 31/05/2020 21:39

@OnNaturesCourse yeah literally! My OH is like if it happens thays great if not we'll try again. Like do you not know how emotionally and physically draining this is !🙈

OnNaturesCourse · 31/05/2020 21:41

Exactly! I think it's almost a "why is my body not doing what I want it to" kinda deal for me, I like to know everything.
