Anyone else in their 2ww?

[alixxx1]

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

@Fifi1086 I hope so 🤞🏻 I’m around 7dpo now. That’s what I was making this morning bacon bagel 😂 couldn’t eat it though. Went with a sausage bagel instead!
My boobs feel fine no different really, I’ve got more energy today & no other symptoms so not sure if that’s good or bad?! 🤷🏼‍♀️
I think implantation is meant to happen between 7-10 isn’t it?! So we shall see if anything different next couple of days.

That’s brilliant news! You have a wedding to look forward to! And you get to wear the dress twice, even better! Xx

@Lowkeyloopy I’m exactly the same. I think after seeing a few negatives you just think it’s not going to. I’m also trying to no get my hopes up so I’m not as disappointed if it is negative.
I’m going to try hold out till next Friday, chemicals worry me so much. Just more so for my mental health I don’t wanna see that positive then AF arrives and chemical happens. I think that would have a bigger effect on me than AF just arriving a bit late.

Your exactly right, it’ll happen when it’s meant to 🥰 just got to stay positive 🤍

Have a lovely Saturday ladies! Xx

Ps. I was meant to ask does any one know when these threads stop allowing posts? I need to know what happens with you ladies don’t want to be ghosting 😂

@NW2021 Oh I didn't realise that was a thing! Do they just randomly close the threads? I would have thought that was only if the threads are inactive?

HOW am I only at 4DPO? Not much to report today - zero symptoms (obviously) but because it's too early for AF symptoms too, I just feel like a weird.. nothingness! Zero symptoms to add to my apps and over-analyse! Blessing and a curse!

Went for a nice walk with DP today though, after a long lie in, and have spent the afternoon chilling out on the sofa under a blanket. Was saying to DP that we need to appreciate these moments of calm, sleep and chilling before we have children!

How is everyone else doing? Finding ways to pass the time? I feel like a lot of us are in the "too early to symptom spot" phase... anyone out there at like 10DPO with some possible symptoms that we can help analyse for you?

P.S. @NW2021 - I think I've just worked it out - I think it's after 1000 messages! So we have a few to go yet, though I just wasted one on this message - haha. If we get close to 1000 one of us should start a new thread and tag whoever wants to keep chatting!

@Lowkeyloopy that makes sense now! I thought I seen some threads where they said they had to start new one, we’ve got a while to go yet 🥰
I defo had the ‘nothingness’ feeling. Today though I’ve been symptom spotting like a mad women 😂 ‘is that a pain I’m feeling in my boob?’ ‘What’s that shooting pains’ Even started sneezing loads today and thought is that early sign 😂😂
The mad symptom spotting begins!! Did well to get to 7 days and not go crazy.
I’m going to apologise now for my craziness incase I get a bfn! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

That sounds like a lush day! I ventured out for a walk today but omg how cold is it out there!! -2 it said in my car 😳 I’m now tucked up in our blankets with a chippy tea!

Morning all, happy valentines!

I'm 3dpo today. I've been really good so far this month (haha, 3 days not something to be proud of!) but I've kind if just let it go and decided I can't control it so need to relax and actually haven't given it a lot of thought.

@NW2021 how many dpo are you now? I'm excited for you as you're a good week ahead of me and @Lowkeyloopy so we can obsess over you first!

I'm super jealous of your chilled afternoons, please make the most of it. I love my boy more than anything but I have no control of the tv anymore and death by YouTube songs is looking likely for me at this point lol. Shockingly though we also went for a walk in the freezing cold yesterday, I'm looking forward to getting out today and not needing 6 layers as it's set to warm up a bit.

Morning everyone happy Valentine's Day! So from my bbt I haven't ovulated yet 😭 got my peak 5pm on Friday so I know it's usually 36-48 hours after that (right?) I got a dip on my chart yday and this morning it's exactly the same as yesterday so no ovulation yet 🙄 How long do you guys normally ovulate after your peak opk?

Morning ladies!!
How are we all today?
So I woke up absolutely knackered even though I had 9hrs kip with a massive headache. Feeling much better now but still so tried. Get all these symptoms around this time any way a week before af due.

@1littlewren I’m around 8/9DPO today. I’m saying 8/9 because although my app said Saturday for O but it could of been the Friday.

Strange thing I’ve noticed, I’m not sure if anyone else tracks their RHR? I hadn’t realised that it can have a correlation between different stages of your cycle. So yesterday it went up to 58 then 59 today! Keeps increasing, I’ve asked on the RHR thread and this can be a sign off bfp so fingers crossed! Although I dunno if it’s because I just haven’t exercised since Weds 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@Fifi1086 sorry can’t help with the opk but looking at my bbt chart I got 3 consecutive dips because a spike in O if that helps?

@NW2021 I can't really tell from looking but is that not your heart rate chart? I'm just gonna keep going there's not much else I can do, and hope for a spike tomorrow! Don't have much hope at this point. How are you feeling today any more food aversions?

@NW2021 ignore that last bit about heart rate chart, that looks really positive!! Lots of people report rise in heart rate approaching BFP I'm telling you I've a great feeling for you this month!

@Fifi1086 sorry Fifi I was meant to send both pics 🙈😂 I just keep thinking no it can’t be surly I’m just over thinking it & af will turn up. We shall see! 5 days and counting before I test.

I’ve attached my chart for you though. Xx

@NW2021 how many dpo are you waiting until you test? I'm fully invested at this stage 😂 ps you're resting hr is super low how fit are you 😂😂

F**k it I'm gonna forget about ovulation and bbt and opks for the day I've no control over it, I'll see what bbt says tomorrow lol!

@Fifi1086 😂 The OH just said that. I got a PT back in Oct trying to change my life style so I work out about 5 days a week. Fittest I’ve been to be fair, don’t be fooled though I’ve lived off take aways this week 😂 & hardly worked out so maybe a reason why it’s increased!

My AF is due Saturday, so i told myself I’d take a test on Friday it’ll be CD29 & 13dpo.

Enjoy your day! It’s so easy to say ‘don’t think about it’ but what I’ve realised this time is there’s nothing you can do now. You’re right you have no control over it. Just positive vibes! You never know you could of O around CD11 or it might of been when you got your static. I remember reading that no matter how much you do (opk, bbt, RHR, CM tracking) you still can’t 100% tell when you’ve O. Got everything crossed for you!! 🤍

Ok panic over! I did a cheapie opk and it was very positive, whereas the one I did at the same time as my clear blue peak was stark negative so I'm guessing the cb just picked up the very beginning of my surge. Also have a LOT of ewcm (sorry) and ovulation pain so I'm certain I'm ovulating today yay!

@Fifi1086 yesss!! Can’t wait for you to start the tww!! Feel like it’s a long time coming 😂🤞🏻

Happy V day ladies! I’ve just come back from a nice long walk with a pal - fortunately it wasn’t as freezing as yesterday!

@Fifi1086 Glad your mind is at ease again now! Btw I loved how quickly you went from “right I’m going to stop thinking about this now” to “so I’ve just taken an OPK...” 🤣 Just sums up how we all approach this doesn’t it! Defo sounds like you’re coming up to O, so have a happy Valentine’s Day 🙂

@1littlewren Love your approach! I’m going to try to be the same - “it’s out of my control now, what will be will be”... I do need something to occupy my brain instead though - a busy week at work coming up should help. How old is your little boy? Death by YouTube videos made me laugh! What is he in to watching?

@NW2021 That’s so interesting re the heart rate! I’ve also heard that’s a possible sign. I’m kicking myself for not buying a new fitbit strap when mine broke, or I could be adding that to the pile of data I check too! That’s fantastic you’ve been getting so fit. So important for TTC of course but obviously more than that, including mental health during this whole mess! What kind of exercise do you like? I’ve picked up yoga during lockdown, which I was never fussed on before but now I love!

So I’m 5 DPO today - still too early for anything of course, but.. I have been feeling a bit sick today. Nothing major, but just that kinda low level nausea which makes you want to take a few deep breaths, if that makes sense? I also convinced myself I saw a pinprick of blood when I wiped this morning. Am being a bit eagle eyed about possible spotting because I have never ever had spotting in my life - I’m either on my period or I’m not! So that would be a sign for me - obviously my eyes are trying to trick me though!

@JCQ2021 How are things with you? Well I hope!

@Lowkeyloopy hahaha nail on the head there! I wasn't convincing anyone never mind myself 😂 I'm glad I did tho cos I've totally chilled now. I'm doing my own hear in I swear 😂

@NW2021 long time coming is right! If I'm that bad before ovulation imagine what I'll be like in the tww 😂 I'll be invested in everyone else's tww on here to distract me from my own

@Fifi1086 we are our own worst enemies, driving ourselves mad waiting for ovulation and then symptom spotting in the tww lols

@NW2021 yea I agree with the the others about the heart rate thing, interesting!! Also my resting heart rate is clearly way too high... (plans a work out tonight)

@Lowkeyloopy my little man is 2 and a bit and obsessed with cocomelon on YouTube. The most annoying songs in the world!!!

I am still super chilled so far. I am off this week so hopefully won't start Googling; taking a leaf out of @NW2021 book and remaining calm and not testing too early this month.

I've just found out that a couple of my friends want to start trying for their second next month as well which would be awesome if we could do mat leave together again which is how we met!

@Lowkeyloopy a nice long walk sounds lush! I’ve just ventured out the house for a walk and thank god the weathers starting to warm up a bit!
My strap broke last year, I just got them from Amazon a lot cheaper than the Fitbit shop.
That’s really one of the reason I started working out more, focus on my mental health, keeping positive and something to distract me in these lockdowns! Helps that we were Ttc as well 🥰
5dpo you’re nearly nearly half way through ttw! 😄

@1littlewren I think mine is just low though. Anything under 70 I think is really good? Don’t get me wrong I really really want to test and find out 😂 I just see so many ladies on here testing early and it’s so faint I don’t want put myself through it all. I understand why they do it don’t get me wrong but my theory is the longer I hold out the stronger the line will be the less stressed I’ll be. That’s the plan any way! 🤞🏻
That would be lovely if you were all on mat leave together! & just having someone close whose going through the same as you would be amazing.

@NW2021 you're doing amazing not testing! I say that same thing to myself every month and always give in. This month I am determined to do better. Is the OH still at home?

@1littlewren I’m the same 😂 but determined this time! Last month I started testing from CD25 (which will be tomorrow) so if I can make it to CD28 without testing I’ll have done well 😂
You watch me this week I’ll end up caving before Friday!
How many dpo are you now?
He’s still home 🥰 reminded him today af is due on Saturday! I’m so glad he’s home this time, hopefully I’ll get that positive and can celebrate with him here!

@NW2021 YOU CAN DO IT!!! I have every faith. Ahhh I so hope it happens for you this month especially so you can share it with the OH whilst he's home!
Well according to Flo I am 3dpo but.. I had a longer cycle last month and it recalculated my ovulation last month to cd17 which is today in this cycle so I could also be ovulating today in theory if I follow last month. We have a rendezvous planned for this evening just in case haha!

@NW2021 you're so right to wait. I found it so hard last month to get that line and then find out the next day it was chemical, whereas if I'd waited I'd have just thought it was my period. I'm gonna try to not test this month until 12dpo but I think if I hang in there til 10dpo I'll be doing well 😂

@1littlewren really would be lovely having him here if it was positive. I’d hate to be by myself, I’d just be worrying for weeks 😂

That’s what happened to me last month, my O ended up being recalculated 🤦🏼‍♀️ Least you’re covering all bases!! Getting one in tonight just in case is a good plan!
Have you got anything planned for your week off? Not that we can do much with this lockdown!
