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

Coming up to FW, planning to DTD every other day from yesterday as my cycles are about 26-28 days so I don't want to miss my peak and also don't want to put too much pressure on us.
Had some bloods taken last week and it turns out I have an under active thyroid which I've read can come in the way of ovulation so let's see how cycle#2 goes!

Hope you're all doing well! x

Think I'm out. Period 3 days late but negative test on the first day of my missed period.

Randomness12 · 04/02/2021 18:53

@HopingForOurRainbowBaby have you tested since your first missed day or just the once? Might be worth testing again especially if it wasn’t first morning urine?

Randomness12 · 04/02/2021 18:55

I have having irregular periods. I’m potentially due on anytime between tomorrow and Wednesday so its impossible to know when to test. I’m not feeling anything either way still.

Just want AF over if I’m out this month rather than dragging my cycle to 34 days. I’ve allowed myself to think about names and things today in quieter names at work and feel I’ve tempted fate.

Such mixed emotions!

HopingForOurRainbowBaby · 04/02/2021 20:41

@Randomness12 no not yet gonna leave it a week and see what happens first. In all fairness I did do it late at night but thought I'd had a good enough hold of urine before I took it. Last time I was Pregnant I didn't test until I was a week late so I don't know how my tests would've been before that. Don't have any food aversions this time whereas last time I did. Only things that are the same at the moment are tiredness and sore boobs but that might be because I keep jabbing them to see if they are actually sore haha oh and the Kitty seems to think they're pillows that need moulding

Randomness12 · 05/02/2021 10:54

😂 that sounds familiar! I admire your willpower in waiting to test. I’ve picked some up today and going to hold out until Sunday I think as that could be 2 days late or 3 days early Hmm

Lowkeyloopy · 06/02/2021 09:35

Morning all!

@BarbieMo Hope you’re doing ok in your wait for Monday to test again! Have you caved and tested sooner? A squinter of a line must be so frustrating!

@NW2021 Hang in there with all the DTD! I’m on the brink of the FW now and a bit confused whether to DTD every day or every other day. Might only start every day from 3 days pre O - don’t want the best swimmers to be all used up on day 5 and have to rely on them hanging in there for ages..! 😂 Not sure that’s scientific, haha. But the internet seems divided on whether do to it every day or every other day! I think your approach makes sense though - so you feel like you’ve done everything you can, and it worked for my friend who did it 10 days straight!

@BWaiting If it helps, my friend has an under active thyroid and irregular periods and is now pregnant after only casually trying! She wasn’t
tracking her cycle so isn’t even sure how far along she is! Total opposite to me with my 4 apps 🙄

@Randomness12 and @HopingForOurRainbowBaby Hope you’re both doing ok! Has AF turned up for either of you yet? Done any more tests? Hope you can have a chilled weekend and distract yourselves from the waiting!

NW2021 · 06/02/2021 10:51

Morning everyone!
@Lowkeyloopy so my plan hasn’t gone as well as I thought. I’ve kinda just given up thinking about it to be honest. This is only our 4th month Ttc but it literally takes over your brain doesn’t it! So I’m just going to see what happens. I take my hate off to the ladies & gents that are 12mth+ in to their journey. It’s so difficult not to think/worry about it all. I’m not really a relaxed person any way so this just takes over my mind 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

We haven’t DTD every day as planned. (I’m going in to detail now..Sorry) We DTD on Weds & then again yesterday (Fri) but Mr didn’t manage to come.. he’s put to much pressure on himself! I’ve tried keeping it relaxed but knows it’s FW (he kept asking me when my ovulating) but I have read pre come can work?! 🤷🏼‍♀️ But who knows?! He’s already said we’ll DTD again tonight so 🤞🏻

I have a big increase in temperature this morning and I’m due to ovulate today so I’m not sure what’s going to happen to me honest. My app hasn’t confirmed ovulation yet but I think it’ll of been today. So I’m already thinking it won’t happen this month.
God knows. I’m just a bit all over the place with it.

NW2021 · 06/02/2021 10:54

How are you @Lowkeyloopy ? Sorry I feel like I’ve just ranted to you there 😂

1littlewren · 06/02/2021 11:00

Morning all,

How are we all? How are our BFP getting on??

@NW2021 try not to put too much pressure on yourself, if you think you're Ov today then that's fab, it's only 11am!!! Loads of time  How much longer have you got the Mr home for??

@Lowkeyloopy I think our cycles are fairly similar. My FW starts tomorrow and I am pleased to announce we have already dtd twice this cycle lol. How're you feeling about ttc this month? I am trying to be super chilled but my OH now keeps saying that we are going to make a baby as we had a chat about how much I want our 2nd and I think he gets it now!

@Randomness12 have you tested yet??

NW2021 · 06/02/2021 11:20

@1littlewren thank you! I mean we have DTD within the FW just not as much as I thought we would. But I suppose it only takes that one time doesn’t it! Who knows, we’ll see what happens. I’ve actually got him home longer than we thought so might even catch a few days of next months FW if we need to.

I’m so excited you ladies are nearly in your FW!! Can’t wait for your updates x

Fifi1086 · 06/02/2021 11:27

Hey everyone! I'm cd13 today, expecting to ovulate probably next few days. I had a temp spike this morning however my cb advanced opk is still only showing flashing smiley (although I had to start a new one yesterday due to dropping one in the sink) and ICs aren't strong. I had quite strong cramps last night and some ewcm last two days.

Does this chart look like I might be ovulating? I had a chemical last cycle and a long bleed so as you can see the temps for the first week are crazy! Any insight is much appreciated!! I've posted this on another thread I'm on too so sorry for duplicate post !!

Anyone else in their 2ww?
Randomness12 · 06/02/2021 11:38

Morning all, so I caved and tested this morning and got a BFN. Still no AF or signs of it coming either. I think I might just be on a long cycle month, 34 days is my top end and that will be this coming Wednesday so hoping it shows up soon.

Only our first proper month of “trying” but we failed miserably by only DTD once. Need o try harder but keep it fun too. Hope everyone is ok.

NW2021 · 07/02/2021 16:01

Hey ladies! How is everyone?

So I’m back in my 2ww, here we go! Count down begins.
Waiting for app to confirm ovulation but I think it happened either Friday or Sat. Had EWCM, boob & stomach pains on Friday then temp spike by 0.37 sat & this morning slight increase again so I’m pretty sure it’s happened. Going to DTD tomorrow night... just in case!

@Fifi1086 I can’t comment on the CB opk but that spike after a dip does look like possible ovulation. How was your temp this morning?

@Randomness12 aww damn! Sorry bfn hope you’re AF arrives soon so you can start a new cycle!

Fifi1086 · 07/02/2021 16:47

Hey @NW2021 delighted you're back in your tww! I had another high temp this morning but small bit lower than yday. No idea what that means, do you? 😂 stuck a pic up to show you

It'd be great if FF confirms ovulation for me tomorrow and then I'm a good few days into the dreaded tww!

Anyone else in their 2ww?
NW2021 · 07/02/2021 17:06

Normally it stays high for a few days around ovulation then dips. Maybe you ovulated yesterday? I’ll see what mine does tomorrow, I’m expecting a slight dip.

Then the 2ww begins! How you feeling going into the wait? I’m actually so much more relaxed. I know it sounds silly but after seeing negative tests a few times now I just think it’ll happen again so not getting my hopes up. I should stay positive really! Positive thoughts etc

NW2021 · 07/02/2021 17:07

Sorry forgot to tag @Fifi1086 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fifi1086 · 07/02/2021 17:34

Def didn't ovulate yday as I was checking like a mad woman, and to be honest all the symptoms were around cd12. First month tracking so really don't have a clue!

1littlewren · 07/02/2021 18:33

@NW2021 ooohh tww again how exciting!! Did you dtd yesterday?? I've got my fingers crossed for you this month!!!

@Fifi1086 I wish I understood your charts, the look fascinating!!! Should your temp increase around ovulation?

I've had a cranky toddler today and it makes me question myself about number 2 lols!!!

Fifi1086 · 07/02/2021 18:41

@1littlewren yeah exactly, you are meant to have a temp dip the day before ovulation and then a spike the day of and high temps in the few days that follow! I've just had more ewcm so lads who the f**k knows 😂😂😂

NW2021 · 07/02/2021 18:49

@Fifi1086 I have no idea then 😂🙈 maybe just keep DTD and hope you catch it in the next couple of days 🤞🏻

@1littlewren it’s come round again very quick! Back in the dreaded 2ww! Although at the min I’m much more relaxed about it but I think it’s because I’ve got Mr home and I’m not just sat alone constantly thinking about symptoms like I was last month 😂
Yeah DTD yesterday afternoon, so fingers crossed!
I’ve got some FRER in from last month that I didn’t use but I’m determined not to test until AF due. (She says!!)

rebecca2710 · 07/02/2021 19:11

Hey everyone!! So I am 12 DPO, I have been testing everyday since 6 DPO (far too early I know) but I’m so desperate to see two lines, and I can’t stop testing!! AF is due on 10th. But because I haven’t had a BFP yet I’m starting tho think It’s not going to happen this month. I never ever get any pre period symptoms except from cramping the day before AF is due. But this time from about 7DPO-10DPO I’ve had sharp cramping on my left lower abdomen, pains in my lower back, I’ve been really gassy, and had some trouble sleeping. I don’t know whether to keep testing or just try and wait and see if AF comes. Spreading lots of love and baby dust to all you lovely people xxx

Randomness12 · 07/02/2021 19:32

Oooh exciting @NW2021 hopefully this month will be the month. Keeping fingers crossed for you too @rebecca2710

I’ve no idea what’s happening with me. So had BFN Saturday morning and I’ve got AF symptoms - sore boobs and bloated plus not sleeping well but still no sign of AF. I usually spot for a day or so beforehand but nothing yet. Trying not to get my hopes up that I may have just tested too early particularly as we only dtd once so incredibly unlikely.

Does anyone else have irregular cycles like me? Anything from 27-34 is my normal. It’s so hard to know what is happening when!

rebecca2710 · 07/02/2021 21:48

Thanks @Randomness12 ❤️ Keeping fingers crossed for you too! My cycles vary from 28-32 days but I came off my contraceptive pill 6 months ago so I’m not sure if it’s just my body adjusting

NW2021 · 08/02/2021 08:01

@rebecca2710 12 dpo is still early, if you can try leave testing for a few days, (more so for the sanity) I know it’s easier said then done! Your body might still be adjusting to coming off the pill.

@Randomness12 my cycles have got longer the past year, which is annoying, especially when Ttc! Your cycle might be 34 days this month and might be too early to test? Keep positive!! 🤍

Ovulation has now been confirmed, as I thought it was Saturday, so we’re currently 2dpo! Let’s hope this first week goes quick.

@Fifi1086 how was your temp this morning? Did you get confirmation of ovulation?
