2DPO - Anyone with me....!

[xem87]

Hi all!

Is anyone just starting their 2WW!? 💕 xxx

[HerringGull]

Sorry to hear that @Twinkle1989

@GreenApplesYo ooooo pretty sure I can see a line! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

@unCliche sounds like you've got some very unusual symptoms there Have you cracked and tested yet?

[lilacflower12]

@GreenApplesYo congratulations! How many dpo are you now?

I've been quiet on here as had a lot of stuff on, I'm 8dpo today, tested this morning but nothing as expected!

[unCliche]

@GreenApplesYo omg! I see the line! Ahhhhh!! That is so amazing! I'm literally so excited for you!! Do you have any symptoms now? What are your temps like? I completely forgive you for giving into the pressure!!

@HerringGull I am so nervous to test, hence the OPKs, because I feel absolutely NOTHING! I had a 23 day cycle last cycle and today is CD 23 but no AF but my cycles are usually around 25 days so I'll keep waiting til I miss AF proper. How about you?? Any sign of AF?

[HerringGull]

@unCliche yep think that sounds like a good idea. At least you can be reasonably sure that the test will give you the right result if you wait until then. Lots of folk don't have any symptoms at all so it doesn't mean anything - fingers crossed that's you! Only two days to go!
Think I will test on Sunday. Not sure exactly when I O'd this month as had loads more days of EWCM than usual, but if we go by the latest day then I'll be 14dpo on Sunday. Might crack on Saturday though! haha. Don't have the same signs I had with #1, but my cervix did rise two days ago (from being low post-O) but don't think that's a reliable sign at all. My BBT is still high, but since AF could theoretically come as late as Saturday, it's possible it just hasn't dropped yet.
No idea, in other words!!

[GreenApplesYo]

Aw thanks guys 🙂🙂really early days so I am trying not to look at it as a BFP at the moment, more like my body is giving it a good try, if that makes sense. I'm only 9/10dpo. I think if I'm getting strong positives this time next week, then I'll be more relaxed (not that I am super stressed, just trying to be sensible).

So...symptoms 🙂not many really! No cramping or spotting or nausea. I was feeling a bit funny 2 days ago, cold and shivery. I was also quite grumpy. Oh and I sent DP out to buy pizza and extra cheese to put on top. Is craving pizza a symptom? 😂 Strangely enough, my boobs seem to hurt a bit less today... Annoying, at this stage I'd rather my nipples were burning haha!

This is my chart. It's very normal!

[GreenApplesYo]

@HerringGull good luck for testing on Sunday!

@lilacflower12 aw 8dpo is still super-early! I actually tested with a cheapy last night, and it came up with an ever so faint positive. Might be worth testing in the evening as well? I think some people test better later in the day.

@unCliche I don't have loads of symptoms either! I'm not sure symptoms mean much at this stage either way...

[unCliche]

@lilacflower12 8DPO is still early! I'm 9DPO and GreenApple's BFP inspired me to test with an IC with second morning urine, and BFN so not really expecting much this month as it's my first month TTC. When will you test again?

@HerringGull Think I'll join you to test on Sunday as well if AF doesn't show. Have you been checking your cervix in previous cycles? Mine seem to change position every two minutes.

@GreenApplesYo Congrats girl! I'm sure your line will only get darker. But do stick around and keep us updated on the progression. We must be boob twins (sounds weird), mine hurt a little less today too. Haha my body would completely hate me if my cravings were pizza. How often will you keep testing and will you continue to temp?

Oooooo it is so exciting that at least one of us has a BFP!!

[HerringGull]

@unCliche YES! Test with me on Sunday! :)
Why don't you test then with us too @lilacflower12? You'll be 11dpo then right? At 8dpo you've only got a 33% chance of a BFP on a FRER, even if you are pregnant. At 11dpo it goes up to 68%. www.verywellfamily.com/when-is-the-best-time-to-take-an-early-pregnancy-test-1960163#:~:text=One%20day%20past%20your%20expected,period%3A%2081%25%20of%20pregnancies%20detected

I don't normally check my cervix all cycle, but I use a Mooncup so I'm very aware of where it normally is in the few days leading up to AF, and through AF itself. It's usually low at this point in my cycle. I'm pretty sure there are other factors that can affect it though, so it's not at all a definite sign.

[unCliche]

@HerringGull Oh yeah, we were already testing buddies! Haha! Hard to keep track of things that have already been said. I also know @EllyNC291 was going to test over the weekend. So at least we can support each other when that time comes.

If your cervix isn't in its usual position, that could be a good sign for you! How many days before AF do your temps usually drop?

[AKC88]

Congratulations @GreenApplesYo so exciting!!!

Ooh I want to get in on the Sunday testing action @HerringGull, @unCliche but I think it would be too early for me!!

I still feel crampy have done for days now and I'm still sooo grumpy haha, not much has changed in other words!!

[HerringGull]

Aw @AKC88 remind me how many dpo will you be on Sunday?
@unCliche no idea when my temps usually drop as this is my first month temping. Didn't do any of this stuff for #1, just DTD lots! But this time I want to be sure I am actually ovulating so thought I'd try temping for a couple of cycles. It is really interesting how much hotter than DH I am in the luteal phase! hahaha

[AKC88]

@HerringGull I will only be 9DPO on Sunday.

I'll attach my chart just to get in on the actions, I had quite a big temp spike today actually

[GreenApplesYo]

@unCliche hah boob twins! Yes planning to stick around for now 🙂I'd like to see what happens with the Big Sunday Testing (no pressure of course) @HerringGull that was an interesting article

Think I will keep temping for now. Maybe until what would have been the end of this cycle? I'm going to do a FRER this evening, and then test every other day and hope for progression 🙂

Thanks everyone for the nice comments by the way!

[lilacflower12]

@GreenApplesYo @unCliche @HerringGull I was going to retest tomorrow as it's my partners birthday (9dpo) and then if nothing would wait until Sunday or Monday (11/12 dpo) but I've just gone to the loo after having cramping today and had some very light pink blood/cm so I'm thinking I'm starting my period a week early! I'm on cd33 and that's how long my cycles were before the pill but due to ovulating on cd 25 I thought I was going to have a 39 day cycle this month. Bit concerned that that now means I only have a 8 day LP 😔😔 going to wait for it to start properly and then have a bottle of wine and chocolate!

[HerringGull]

@lilacflower12 do you think it could be implantation bleeding? Surely not AF if you're only 8dpo.
@GreenApplesYo The Big Sunday Testing!! hahaha! It will be really interesting to see what your temps do over the next weekish - you should def keep doing them! And show us!
Big spike @AKC88 Have you been on the vino? That's what mine does when I drink!

[HerringGull]

@lilacflower12 are you sure you O'd when you think you did? x

[unCliche]

@AKC88 Join us! It might still be early for you, but you never know! But I'm sure most of us will stick around after we've tested so you'll have lots of time to let us know how it goes for you.

@HerringGull If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for you to conceive your first DC? I probably should have taken that approach - lots of DTD and then hope for the best - but I'm too much of a control freak! So went for OPKs, BBT and fertility bracelet right off the bat.

@GreenApplesYo I'm cracking up at Big Sunday Testing. I feel like I need to dress up for this special event and write some big elaborate speech glad you're not going anywhere for now! Let's hope that most of us can move over into the pregnancy side of the forum. If not, then at least some time soon!

@lilacflower12 Yay! Another Sunday tester but good luck for tomorrow as well, that would be a lovely surprise for him. Also, the spotting could be IB so until the blood is red and flowing like a proper AF, don't count yourself out. Sending you some hugs!

[lilacflower12]

I didn't think about implantation bleeding! I'll have to see if it gets worse! And I know I definitely didnt o before as I've been using OPK's the whole cycle as it was my first one off the pill. Just feeling sorry for myself, I've been having symptoms that I really thought were different from normal PMS once ( cramping, really sore boobs, waves of nausea, tiredness) but could just be me adjusting off the pill 😔

[HerringGull]

@unCliche it took 3 months to conceive #1. I wasn't even properly tracking cm or anything, just vaguely noticing it. But we DTD every other day at least, so we were covered whenever I O'd. This time I'm more just interested in knowing what my body does, so that's why I've started BBT. Nothing to stop you jumping straight in with the OPKs etc though, different things work for different people. Plus not everyone is lucky enough to have the opportunity to DTD all the time so more planning might be needed!

@lilacflower12 Maybe it will just take a wee bit of time for your hormones to balance out after coming off the pill. Sure it won't be long though, don't worry

[AKC88]

@HerringGull oh really? I had one glass of wine about 6.30pm yesterday with my dinner. I didn't think it would impact that much

[HerringGull]

@AKC88 I had two glasses at the weekend and spiked by 0.2 degrees the next day. I guess everybody would be different with the amount they drink and maybe also how late in the evening and stuff like that?

[unCliche]

Hey girls! Don't think this will be my month. My temps have plummeted and I'm cramping like AF is coming so she'll probably be here today or tomorrow. My own little halloween treat

@lilacflower12 any update? Did AF come?

@HerringGull three months is pretty good! This is month 2 for you so there's a good chance you could conceive as quickly as last time. How are you feeling? Any different?

[GreenApplesYo]

Oh no @unCliche that's a shame. AF sucks. How are you feeling?

[lilacflower12]

@unCliche hiya, no it didn't, I've still got slightly tinged CM but only when I wipe. I tested this morning and got a BFN, so don't know when to retest now. I'm 9dpo today.. wish I could know quicker whether my AF is coming or not!

[unCliche]

Just went to check and the witch is here! Not sure what's going on with these 23 day cycles but I guess that's my new normal now.

@lilacflower12 sounds like it's still all up in air for you but it's early days yet and AF hasn't started so you still have a good chance of getting your BFP in the coming days!
