2DPO - Anyone with me....!

[xem87]

Hi all!

Is anyone just starting their 2WW!? 💕 xxx

[EllyNC291]

How’s everyone doing?
Stupidly tested this morning even tho I know I’m only like 8/9 dpo! BFN. Feel like I’m just waiting for AF now :(

[GreenApplesYo]

Hi @AKC88 welcome 🙂

@Twinkle1989 what's a fertilily? Is it a tracking bracelet? If AF is early it means you can crack on with more baby dancing sooner? 🙂🙂

@EllyNC291 aww! Don't worry, loads of time yet. Might not have even implanted yet! Will you test again before AF?

I'm 7dpo now. Can't say I've noticed any symptoms, I know there is still time though. Just have a feeling this isn't my month. Would be very lucky if it is, it's just cycle 1! Kinda glad in a way that I don't have loads of crazy symptoms - if I had all the classics and then it was a BFN that would be waaaay worse than the other way round!

@unCliche any temp dips yet hehe? 🙂 I'm steady away at 36.8. Triphasic charts are my new google obsession.

[Twinkle1989]

@GreenApplesYo Fertilily is like a moo cup for conception - it forms an umbrella so holds the sperm next to the cervix to give it the best chance of fertilisation 🤷🏻‍♀️ I've just bought one - thought its worth a go ❤️

Room for one more?

I'm on my second month TTC #2. A bit unsure when I ovulated this month, but pretty sure I'm between 8 and 11dpo today. So will test at the weekend if the witch doesn't show her face by then!

No symptoms that I don't normally get in TWW, except I'm 2lb fatter than yesterday - does that count?!!

Has anyone cracked and tested this morning?

[unCliche]

I still have my fingers crossed for you @Twinkle1989. You never know, it really could be a BFP for you. Lots of people have said they get their usual AF cramps but then AF doesn't come. So as long as she's not here, I think you still have a chance. I never knew what a fetilily is either! So thanks for that little bit of enlightenment - I do hope they help. I've just been keeping my legs elevated to help the little spermies along.

Hi @AKC88! Oh trust me, I started the googling at 1DPO! In fact, pre-TWW I was doing TWW research hehe! Most of us here have promised ourselves not to test until AF is due. Let's see who cracks first (probably me) Although for 7 DPO, I'm doing pretty good for not testing!

@Izzie94 I've got sore AF boobs too, but that could mean anything! I too hope that them not hurting means I could get a BFP, but nope, here they are... hurting.

@EllyNC291 Give it a few more days! Like GreenApples said, implantation still could be happening.

@GreenApplesYo Haha that's brilliant! Is your chart starting to look triphasic? I had a slight dip today but nothing significant. I don't think it was enough to be an implantation dip. I also feel like I won't be lucky this month. Everything just feels normal. Except for having the worst trapped wind ever last! Had to down a mug of diluted bicarbonate of soda. But even that could be due to the shit foods I'm eating and not necessarily pregnancy.

Welcome @HerringGull! I'll be testing around Sunday/Monday so hopefully, me, you and GreenApples should have (positive) results to share around the same time.

Phew! Think I've managed to respond to everyone

[EllyNC291]

@GreenApplesYo going to hold out now and not test till Sunday! I have quite irregular cycles but think Af due Monday..! Was feeling optimistic but that’s gone now!!

@unCliche hope the wind eases off lol i keep wondering if my ‘symptoms’ are down to all the crap I’m eating too 😂

[F23xoxo]

Hi ladies! I’m new to this! This is my first post too 😜 can I join?
I think today is Dpo 1 for me..
this is my TTC C3 and proper tracking C2.
What apps is everyone using? And any of them you find better than others?

I feel like all the apps say something different x

[EllyNC291]

@F23xoxo hi!! How are you finding things?
I use flo! Quite like it tbh but haven’t really tried others!! What do you use?

[HerringGull]

@unCliche - thank you! Glad we are testing buddies - fingers crossed we bring each other good luck! I also have wind which is unusual for me, but it's probably all the crisps

[AKC88]

Thank everyone for the welcomes

@HerringGull nice to see you here!

@F23xoxo I use Femometor, I did use Flow before I started doing OPK's and BBT but find Femometor is easier for recording both of those.

I'm only 4 DPO but I swear I don't feel my usual self, really sore boobs, lots of cramping which I don't normally have, pulling and a general heaviness in my pelvic area and mostly heartburn for the last 2 days which was the first sign I had in my last pregnancy (although I know it's way too early for any of those things to mean anything). My husband has been trying to convince me it's the change in weather/time that's throwing me off lol!

[HerringGull]

Well hello @AKC88 - didn't know you were on here too! Hear you on your husband being the voice of reason - mine is a sensible soul too (which is good but sometimes I just want him to be irrational with me)!

[AKC88]

@HerringGull we can battle through another TWW together!

Mine was so overly hopeful we would conceive last cycle, we were so lucky with our youngest and fell on the first cycle, so I think he's in self-protection mode this cycle bless him! I think having had the coil has really changed my cycle.

How are you doing with it all this time?

[EllyNC291]

@AKC88 oh I am the same!! Really heavy feeling in my pelvis and lots of twinges, totally exhausted and generally feeling A bit weird! Trying to reason with myself that it probably doesn’t mean anything, particularly as I had a negative test this morning! Easier said than done though!!

[HerringGull]

What dpo are you @EllyNC291 ?

@AKC88 I'm okay this time as not really any symptoms. Last month I had mega symptoms exactly the same as when I conceived #1, so was reasonably sure I was pregnant, but I wasn't (or it was chemical). This month no symptoms like that so will be less surprised if AF shows. I know it doesn't work like that - ie you can have no symptoms and still be pg - but it feels easier to handle AF when you haven't had any if that makes sense! How are you feeling? Can I ask how old your DC is?

[unCliche]

@EllyNC291 Yay! That's four of us now testing over the weekend. I'm trying to remain calm because if I get too excited the disappointment will hit harder. Like @HerringGull said, it'll be easier to handle a BFN with less symptoms and expectations so I'll be hoping for the best but still be expecting the worst - but hoping for the best mostly.

Heeey @F23xoxo welcome to the group! I have a fertility bracelet, so I use the app that comes with it. But I'm also using Fertility Friend as a backup to confirm ovulation.

Sorry to hear that your last cycle wasn't a success, @AKC88. I hope it isn't hitting your DH too hard but least you're in this together and you can be there for each other.

[EllyNC291]

@HerringGull either 8 or 9 I think- I don’t temp just go by cm/how I’m feeling currently so bit of guesswork but somewhere in that region!
@unCliche exactly the same I’m going to expect the worst but hope haha. Defo easier if you don’t get hung up on symptoms but so hard not to!!!

[F23xoxo]

@AKC88 @unCliche
Amazing thanks!
I’ve been using Flo (originally for periods for years) and now recently downloaded Premom fertility tracker which has the OPK together.

So far I think my body is a bit all over the place.
Last month I was a 33 day cycle. Ended up having two LH surges 4 days apart ,day 19 and day 23
Has anyone ever had that before??

This month I have I had a peak reading on Sunday 25th ..which is CD 20..
wth 🤣🤣 help 😭

[HerringGull]

@EllyNC291 Ditto. I think my range is bigger though - between 7dpo and 11dpo, but roughly like yours. Normally I get EWCM for a sensible length of time and it's clearer when I O'd, but this month I had it for over a week! So not as sure. It annoyed me not knowing, so think I will start temping next cycle. Although fingers crossed there is no next cycle!

I think you could keep testing in case you have double peak in this cycle. Also, you may track your CM (the most fertile CM looks like raw egg whites) to confirm if you have ovulated or not.

[Twinkle1989]

😭 AF has arrived for me - 2 days early 😭 but like my OH says, sooner it's here and gone, sooner we can try again 😭

Good luck to all of you testing this weekend ❤️❤️

[unCliche]

Oh no @Twinkle1989! That's really sad news. I was hoping for the best for you let's just hope she goes away as quickly as she came so you can start trying again! Good luck for your next cycle!

[xem87]

@Twinkle1989 sorry to hear that! At least on to next month soon!

I'm 11dpo not much symptoms really few days ago AF like pains but gone now, few cramps but nothing really. Felt a bit nauseas last 2 days but comes and goes.

AF due Sunday or Monday xx

[unCliche]

Morning ladies, how are you all getting on? The week seems to be dragging along! A few of us are probably around the DPO where implantation is likely to happen, so......... any symptoms??? Or has anyone tested??

Not much to report here for me. Just some random jawline acne, lots of wind and a cold sore (oh and I took an OPK test last night (because why not) using late night urine and a line appeared, but not darker than the control. Could just be my normal level of LH)

[GreenApplesYo]

Hey @unCliche. I got a squinter on a Clearblue early test... You really do have to squint at it mind! It came up in the time window. It's clearer in real life. Have some FRERs now from amazon.

It's suuuuper early days so I'm trying not to get too carried away and wait to see if the lines get stronger. Hard not to be a bit excited though!

Really sorry to hear about AF @Twinkle1989. Fingers crossed for your next cycle! x

[GreenApplesYo]

@unCliche p.s. I totally cracked... I was going to try wait until 12dpo hahah oh dear
