Anyone else in their 2ww?

Hi all,

Is there any others currently in their 2ww?

OH works away so we could only DTD 2-3 days before O. So I don't know whether I'm that hopeful. Plus it's our first month trying for #2.

So is there anyone else currently waiting and we can support each other through the wait? I'll be 10dpo on the 22nd which would be amazing if I get a positive as it will be a year on from a loss.

Babydust to all x

Hi everyone,

First time posting so joining you all in the TWW!

I’ve been logging some symptoms in Flo (I’ve been having cramps and nausea the last few days) and it’s moved my expected AF date back a few days. Has this happened to anyone else?

I’m 13dpo and feel like AF is due, but no appearance so far!

@thefamousmred

I was in a lot of pain last night! Very sharp cramps for about 3 hours.. I'm not due on until the 4th but had cramps all of this week so not sure what to think 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm 10DPO today

JCQ2021 · 29/01/2021 11:48

@1littlewren so sorry to hear that! Stay positive, lets make it happen this month. I am on CD3 and my plan is the same as yours, lots of sex.

I will start next Monday and continue until a week after O. I prefer to cover all the corners, you never know! I am having my Prosecco tonight and my Hubby is looking forward to it too!. I am collecting our vitamins on Monday and continue our healthy journey to make our dreams of becoming parents come true. You are not alone, my period was being funny this month too and with our experiences we are here to support you. Remember, always see the bright side of everything. ANOTHER MONTH TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE! A fresh start.

@Lowkeyloopy @NW2021 I like to make a list too! Sometimes when I am adding items to my amazon cart I think about other possible things I need. I have to stop buying things I really don’t need! I did the list on Monday and ordered essentials though my Boots account and it is perfect timing for collection. My hubby is having Vitamin D but I upgraded him to Wellman.

My Mantra is Positive, Positive, Positive. Never give up!

1littlewren · 29/01/2021 12:20

@JCQ2021 you are possibly the most positive person ever!!! I love it, thank you.

@scandiontheloose the 'shagalicious' plan is my favourite thing I've heard all day and I'm going to officially call Feb that all month. My shagalicious month!

TheFamousMrEd · 29/01/2021 15:36

Well, after feeling pretty icky all day, I went and bought a test...

Anyone else in their 2ww?

@TheFamousMrEd amazing!!! Congrats!! How many DPO are you?!

13dpo, so still early! I’m in complete shock tbh as it’s our first month trying. I thought it would take a few months, so I’d have longer to prepare myself!

roxybear · 29/01/2021 16:22

@TheFamousMrEd oh my goodness that's amazing! You must be so so happy! I'm only 4/5dpo and convinced I've done it all wrong 🤣My first TTC too! Any symptoms that you had?

Jaylay · 29/01/2021 16:25

Congratulations @TheFamousMrEd 🎉

TheFamousMrEd · 29/01/2021 16:26

@roxybear I’m sure you haven’t done it all wrong!

I wasn’t expecting it at all as we only DTD once 🤦‍♀️

I’ve had a metallic taste in my mouth since about 6/7dpo, feeling nauseous and cramps since about 11dpo. Yesterday I was sure AF was arriving early, but apparently not!

I’ve felt really nauseous today so convinced myself to go and buy a test.

TheFamousMrEd · 29/01/2021 16:27

Oh, and burping ALOT! 🤦‍♀️

roxybear · 29/01/2021 16:31

@TheFamousMrEd only once!! That's brilliant! Bet your other half thinks so too. My DH is convinced he is some king and it will happen instantly 🤣 I've literally had no symptoms yet but super early so I'll take it a bit more seriously in a week or so! So happy for you!!

localbunny · 29/01/2021 16:45

So many positives! Congratulations all. On 7DPO here, had some cramping today and yesterday but trying not to get my hopes up as I swear last month I had all the symptoms and BFNs all round!

JCQ2021 · 29/01/2021 17:38

@TheFamousMrEd Congratulations!!!!🥳🎉 wonderful news and amazing to hear the BFP are coming now!!! Keep us up to date with everything, we want to see the development. #happynews

So wonderful to know it’s happening. Sometimes when we least expect it!🎉

Sending lots of hugs and kisses to everyone! 💕

Congratulations, @TheFamousMrEd 💐💐

How exciting xx

Haha yes, he thinks he has super swimmers now 😂

Thanks for the congrats everyone, still not sure it’s real!

Randomness12 · 29/01/2021 22:37

Ahh huge congrats MrEd! That’s amazing news especially on cycle one!

I’m approx 6 dpo now and fairly certain I’m out. I just don’t think we did it at quite the right time. I’m so shattered from work (DH too) I literally had to say “so I’m ovulating tomorrow” which is not exactly sexy!

roxybear · 29/01/2021 22:55

@Randomness12 I feel exactly the same as you!! I'm either 5/6 DPO and DTD every day up to suspected ovulation but not after that so defo counting myself out!

Randomness12 · 30/01/2021 16:03

Roxybear I wouldn’t give up hope on your shoes, every day up to ovulation is great! Plus doesn’t it stick around for up to 5 days afterwards?

Lowkeyloopy · 30/01/2021 16:50

Happy Saturday girls - I’m just catching up! Had a sleepy few days - AF really knocked me for six this month. I was a bit “I GET IT - you’re here, I’m sorry that I said I hope you wouldn’t turn up… jeeez..”

@Jaylay @thefamousmred Congratulations! And first time is amazing - inspiring! I mentioned this to my DP - no pressure mate :)

@1littlewren Sorry it didn’t happen for you this month and that AF took her time arriving - so cruel! Onward and upwards though!

So sounds like me, @1littlewren, @NW2021, @scandiontheloose and @JCQ2021 are all aiming for the “shagalicious month” plan - love it! When we're all knackered two weeks from now we'll know why!

I’m also probably going to target a couple of days after suspected ovulation too, though I’m really hoping I don’t actually ovulate that late or it means my luteal phase is quite short, which isn't ideal...

@roxybear @localbunny @Randomness12 Welcome! Hope your 2WWs aren’t going by too slowly! Roxybear, it’s my first TTC soon - first month properly trying in Feb. And yes don’t count yourself out for not DTD after ovulation - the odds drop then anyway, so it sounds like you’ve targeted the right few days! Localbunny, I also had sooo many symptoms last month too, but now convinced they were in my head - we can trick ourselves so cruelly sometimes!

@hotpotlover How are things with you? Did AF show in the end or are you going to take a test?!

Jaylay · 30/01/2021 17:04

Thank you. I'm trying not to get excited as Af still isn't due until tuesday so will retest again then. Its horrible how these 2 weeks drag so much. Xx

BarbieMo · 30/01/2021 17:11

Hi,
Hope someone is currently in the same journey as me or has been on this journey. On Gonal F journey, I just had my trigger on wednesday and Im soooooo bloated and so nervous at the same time. Is the bloating normal 3 days after the tiggerBlush

Randomness12 · 31/01/2021 22:03

Hi BarbieMo I’m afraid I can’t help with the Gonal F, but wanted to welcome you to the thread.

I’m now 8dpo and having a bit of a stress this evening as I updated my Fitbit app with the last 5 months cycle and it’s put my last ovulation date as a day later than the app I usually use (P Tracker) as we only dtd once I’m now worried I’ve missed the boat.

Not helped at all by irregular periods so Thinking as well aiming to dtd every other day around the window I might have to get more into ovulation symptom spotting but don’t want to use OPKs just yet.

I usually have fairly obvious EWCM but it can last a few days in different states.... any clues from anyone before I read ALL of the internet?! Grin

I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!

Jaylay · 01/02/2021 09:02

Morning. Hope everyones doing okay?
I'm one day before AF do you think this line has gotten any darker? Still worries as it's still early. X

Anyone else in their 2ww?
NW2021 · 01/02/2021 09:02

Hey ladies! How was everyone’s weekend? Going in to my FW 😁 ovulation due on Saturday so next week I’ll be back in my 2ww.

@Randomness12 I’ve used natural cycles for years but did the same as you and added in to my Fitbit and my ovulation was a day different.
I was similar the previous couple of times we only dtd once due to timings of Mr work. I don’t use opk, this month I’m going to try just with lots and lots of sex! Before & after my ovulation date. I think it’s best to cover both days before & after just in case as the predictors will never get it exactly right!

But don’t right yourself off to soon, it only takes that one time for it to work! 8DPO is still early, when you planning on testing?
