2DPO - Anyone with me....!

[xem87]

Hi all!

Is anyone just starting their 2WW!? 💕 xxx

How are you all doing?? X

@EllyNC all good here - I'm 3DPO now so hoping and praying and trying to stop being a dick and getting myself in a flap!
How are you doing? xx

@Twinkle1989 aww bless you! I found distraction was the best technique for the Tww when I was trying to get pregnant first time round!! Getting out of the house and away from google haha!! Fingers crossed for you!!
I’m doing good thanks, we’ve decided not to take a break from ttc after all so I’m here with you- but probably out this month as not sure how many fertile days I’ve got left! We’ll see!! Trying to just be chilled about it 🤣

Good luck @Twinkle1989, all fingers and toes crossed for you. I’m back in the fun stage of weeing on a LH stick every morning, the joys!

@Cc7750 same here! Though I don’t think I have ever gotten a positive Opk ever so feel I should stop as it just stresses me out haha

Hey @EllyNC! Glad to hear you'll be TTC this cycle! Hopefully you were able to DTD at least once before ovulation came around.

@Twinkle1989 do you wait for at least 5 minute before checking the test line? I find that in the first 2 minutes, the line is really light, then starts to darken gradually to its final colour.

I got my +OPK yesterday alongside 4 days of EWCM. Probably ovulating today so I'm at 0DPO and just starting my TWW again.

Oops the waiting 5 mins comment was for @EllyNC!

@unCliche yeah I do, sometimes the line is darker than other times but never as dark as the control! Maybe I just miss it 🤷🏼‍♀️ According to flo I ovulate tomorrow so hoping even if I ovulated a bit early (I’m a bit irregular so don’t really trust flo) We might have caught it 🥴 now I know we aren’t taking a break I feel more chilled about it all ☺️☺️ How are you feeling? Got some distractions lined up for the TWW?

That's awesome! If you ovulate tomorrow then we'll be around a similar DPO, Twinkle is a little ahead of us but we should mostly be testing around the same time then!
I'm feeling OK. I've been planning for the new house. We'll hopefully complete by February. I've been looking at tiles, carpets, paint colours, curtains etc. So there's a lot to keep me distracted. How about you? Anything planned to keep you occupied?

@unCliche I thought I had left it the 5 mins - as I check them once the CB has the result on - which I thought was 5 min 😳 I think this month has been up and down but I think @GreenApplesYo was like this on the cycle that resulted in a pregnancy ❤️ keeping everything crossed! It would be the best Christmas (in the shitty year) ever for us if we are lucky ❤️ xx

Absolutely! A nice little Xmas surprise. I don't think it matters if OPKs do or don't work because they don't confirm ovulation anyway and as long as you're checking other signs you should be fine. I check CM, temp and use OPKs so between those three methods, you should be able to get a good idea of when you're fertile.

Would be such a lovely Christmas present wouldn’t it!! ☺️ I’m not convinced we’ve got the timings right for this month so don’t think I’ll be symptom spotting so much etc, just gonna assume it hasn’t happened then it will be lovely if somehow it has 😂😂

@unCliche house things are an amazing distraction!!! You must be so excited!

It's my bday at the end of the month so it'll be an amazing bday present! I don't even think I'd mind spending my bday in lockdown if I got a BFP!
@EllyNC it only takes one sperm and you never know, your other half may have super sperm that can reach the egg before it's too late I really do hope you manage to catch the egg!

I can literally spend all day looking at different tones of white paint. Haha!

@unCliche haha get yourself some home mags and then if the weathers shit you can drink tea and cosy up and plan your new house 😍😍😍 🤞🏻 For us all!!

Hello ladies, I hope you are all doing well. I find it hard to keep up with all the messages between work and my little phone screen but want to be part of your journey’s with you!
Today my LH strips went up to 200% for the first time after me coming off the pill 6 weeks ago. Yay! We dtd this afternoon to celebrate haha. At last I feel like my journey can begin... however long it may be.
Lots of love to everyone x

Great news @AlisonWhite !
It does take a while - I didn't get AF for about 3 months when I stopped the pill!

Now the fun begins...and the shitty 2WW 😜 xx

@Twinkle1989 xxxx

Good luck @AlisonWhite- very exciting!! Are you trying for your first? (Sorry if you’ve already said!) how do you get a % LH strip???

It’s a kit that came with a thermometer and and an app too. It just gives you the results in % and they go on a graph. I guess it converts it x

And @EllyNC yes my first xxx

@AKC88 @GreenApplesYo how are you both feeling?? X

Hey hey @EllyNC291(sorry it won't let me tag you without the 291! The drop down won't vanish). I'm doing well thank you. Sore boobs and beginning to feel queasy and weirded out by some foods - egg is NOT ok. I'm 6wks tomorrow.

Good you're TTC this month as well 🙂

What CD or dpo is everyone now? x

@GreenApplesYo ah bless you! By 7/8 weeks with my first I couldn’t go in the kitchen haha! Hope first trimester flys for you!!
Think I’m 1 or 2 dpo... ready for the TWW lol! Not holding out much hope this month as don’t think We dtd enough but will be a lovely surprise if we are ☺️

Hey everyone,

I don't know why but I stopped getting notifications for this thread, just dropped in on the off chance

I hope time goes quick for all your TWW's.

EllyNC (sorry still can't tag you) I feel fairly normal apart from super sore boobs, had to make a new bra purchase to accommodate lol. I've got my booking in appt tomorrow morning-I will be 5 weeks on Friday but they are treating me as 7 weeks Friday because of my LMP so I may squeeze in my scan before xmas-even though I 100% know I would only be 10 weeks. Have you got booking in yet @GreenApplesYo?
