I am 1dpo today. I am very calm at the moment but give me a week and I will be counting down the days until I can test. Who else is on the 2ww with me?

Me!!
My cycles have been a bit irregular but I know I'm on CD 22... I've been averaging 32 days in my cycles.
I've not been temping or using opks so no idea when I ovulated, we are just casually hoping it happens.
This is our first month TTC.

Sohe · 28/09/2020 18:22

Had my peak in opk today so start TWW from tomorrow! Had a BFP last month and June, but unfortunately neither stuck so hoping for a sticky one!! Good luck ladies!! X

Wils85 · 28/09/2020 18:35

Me!! CD17 after a peak on CD12. Hoping for 3rd time lucky after TFMR back in November last year and a missed miscarriage in July 😔 🤞🏼 trying so hard not to symptom spot and trying not to wrap myself up in cotton wool "just in case". Xx

Trying4one · 28/09/2020 18:48

@ladymary86 do you get any cues at ovulation like pain or cm?
@sohe sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed for this cycle
@Wils85 cd16 for me after peaking on Saturday. I know what you mean. I don't want to symptom spot but I had a random metallic taste earlier 🤦
Fingers crossed for us all

No nothing like that that I've noticed @Trying4one
Like others I'm trying hard not to symptom spot and be as relaxed about it as I can. I have a feeling it may not happen this month but keeping an open mind and would obviously be delighted if it did.
I have an 8yo and a 5yo from previous marriage so they keep me pretty distracted and on my toes!
@Wils85 - I totally get what you mean about not wrapping yourself in cotton wool. I've been going to a personal trainer for a few months and was tempted to stop "just in case" because of all the weight lifting and chucking myself about but I'm trying my best to just carry on as normal 🤣

Trying4one · 28/09/2020 19:53

@ladymary86 I usually get ovulation pain so no hiding from it for me 🤦😂
I however try not to symptom spot once last ovulation.
I have a personal trainer and weight lift as well. You are supposed to be able continue what you did before whilst pregnant, though there are some core stuff you have to avoid. Keep working those muscles, it may help us when it comes to delivery (apparently)

ladymary86 · 29/09/2020 07:22

@Trying4one that's the plan! I've already discussed it with my PT and he has already gone through some of the moves I will and won't be able to continue doing when the time comes.

One day closer to testing! I've got two CBdigi's waiting to use. I can't decide whether I will risk testing a bit early!!

herewegonumbertwo · 29/09/2020 08:26

Hiya I'm 3DPO. Had so many weird twinges but it's probably just my imagination!

Wils85 · 29/09/2020 08:35

@Trying4one it's so hard not to. I've been wondering whether I'm peeing more often but it's probably because I'm drinking more , doh! 🙄😂 It's just so cruel that early PG symptoms are basically PMS symptoms!

@ladymary86 last time I decided to give up running but when I looked back at Strava I was already pregnant when I gave up, I just didn't know it on both occasions. So may as well just crack on. I'm super anxious when I'm out though, worrying about my heart rate going too high. Can't live on "what if's" though can we? We wouldnt do anything!

Also, is anyone getting frustrated by the fact ever woman and her dog is announcing a pregnancy at the moment? I mean, I know we've been in lockdown but, come on!!

Good luck everyone. Keep in touch over the next two weeks with symptoms and test outcomes! I'm not expecting anything major symptom wise until this weekend (judging by past experience!) Xx

Trying4one · 29/09/2020 10:39

@Wils85 I had that last cycle as I got up for a pee 5 times one night 🤣🤣 however I do drink about 4 litres a day and pee a lot during the day anyway..I think on this occasion I had just drunk a lot of water before bed 🤦
It's the fact I saw so many people having babies on social media made me want one even more and gave my husband the push to start trying 🤣
I said to my best friend that I would rather have no symptoms. Last month I had bleeding which I though was implantation bleeding and it gets my hopes up. I think my body is cruel and playing tricks on me 😂
@herewegonumbertwo I think even when not symptom spotting we become hyper aware of our bodies. Like I had a weird metallic taste yesterday briefly. But I was only 1dpo so surely it is just coincidence
@ladymary86 I haven't warned my PT yet, just planning on springing it on him when it happens. I think he has trained one pregnant lady before so will help him develop more skills and experience 🤣🤣🤣

Me!! 2dpo today.... like @Wils85 also after TFMR (February this year) and 3 CPs since.

herewegonumbertwo · 29/09/2020 11:03

@Trying4one weirdly I feel pregnant, gut feeling but it's probably just wishful thinking. I'm of the opinion though that may as well think positively, it can't hurt and mind can be strong over matter. Maybe well lead to a bigger disappointment but at least the 2WW is slightly more bearable feeling positive about things

Trying4one · 29/09/2020 11:12

@NoCallerID hopefully this is our month. Fingers crossed.
@herewegonumbertwo When do you plan on testing? I am thinking 11dpo (next Thursday) but not sure if that is too early.

OP posts:
herewegonumbertwo · 29/09/2020 11:23

@Trying4one I have a 10 day luteal phase so if AF isn't here by 10DPO (6th) then I will be getting suspicious. Will probably allow a couple of days for a late appearance then test so maybe 13DPO? I don't want to test early as I've seen too many stories of early positives turning to negatives so I'd rather be sure.
This is my first cycle with fertility treatment so the chances of it having worked first try are really slim but I'm praying for a miracle!

ladymary86 · 29/09/2020 13:17

Has anyone been taking any prenatal vitamins? I've been taking the seven seas trying for a baby folic acid ones.

herewegonumbertwo · 29/09/2020 13:29

@ladymary86 I've been taking pregnacare. They are huge!

Trying4one · 29/09/2020 13:53

@ladymary86 I was taking seven seas but stopped using them when I saw some ladies say that it extended their cycle (although I have seen some say it shortened theirs when they had long cycles already) so it spooked me 😂 I am now taking vitabiotics folic acid and vitamin d separately. Luckily these tablets are tiny.
@herewegonumbertwo Ah ok, mine isn't due until 14dpo 🙈 in a ideal world I would wait to see if my period turns up but I am not that patient

cactusmama79 · 29/09/2020 13:55

Me! Think I'm 1dpo today, ttc second baby :)
Does anybody else get twingey camp feelings even after ovulation?

cactusmama79 · 29/09/2020 13:55

*crampy

chillyfields · 29/09/2020 14:03

Me! I'm on 5DPO today. This is our fifth cycle TTC#1 and it has been hard! Trying to hold out to 12DPO to test as I've been heartbroken on previous cycles from testing too early

herewegonumbertwo · 29/09/2020 14:30

@Trying4one not sure when it comes to it I'll be patient enough 🙈

@cactusmama79 I've had twingy feelings since ovulation but pretty sure it's too early for anything real :-/

Trying4one · 29/09/2020 14:31

@cactusmama79 I get ovulation pain but no cramps after. I generally don't get symptoms leading up to AF so I am note sure whether that will mean I won't get no pregnancy symptoms this early on 🤷 trying to conceive number one so all new to me.
@chillyfields I don't want to test so early that I get a faint positive which turns out to be chemical as that is heartbreaking. So I am going to literally sit on my hands as long as possible 😂

OP posts:
chillyfields · 29/09/2020 15:03

@Trying4one yes me too! Glad you set up this page so we can wait it out, slightly less impatiently, together. Actually who am I kidding, I'm always bleeding impatient!

Trying4one · 29/09/2020 15:13

@chillyfields I remember when my exams results used to come out (10 plus years ago 🙈) I used to be refreshing the internet page every 10 seconds because I wanted to know right there any then 😂 I want to know at the soonest point. When I do get pregnant there is no way I can wait to find out the sex at birth. I will be wanting to know at the scan hahaha
We can all be impatient together

Wils85 · 29/09/2020 17:29

@ladymary86 I just take folic acid and vit d. I tried the pregnacare ones but they gave me the runs 😱
