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 honestly I’m saying all this now and when I get to double figures I’ll be itching to test!! Gotta just take my mind of it and count down the days 😂 Fridays not to long away!
That’s it I don’t want to go through seeing the line then bleeding arrive, it must of been so hard to see it then the next day chemical 😔
I’d rather just think it’s my period like you said

JCQ2021 · 14/02/2021 19:04

Happy Valentine’s Day ladies!!
I hope you are all well and trying to stay calm during the TWW.

@Fifi1086 Exiting news!!! Keep going and I am sure this is going to be your month. It was only a few days ago I was feeling the same excitement lol...that keeps us motivated!

@NW2021 the RHR information you shared it is very interesting. I went to check my app and I have many variations. Yesterday my RHR was 63 and today dropped to 54 all the days before that was below 52. I will search more about it! I did exercise the last 3 days, I felt so bad for not doing anything. I wanted to give myself a break during ovulation and implantation week, was too hard not going for my jog. I am resting the next 3 days tho, possibly implantation days.

I am on 5/6DPO as I am not sure if I ovulated on Monday or Tuesday this week, I only saw a darker line on Tuesday 9th and the egg white discharge later in the evening. As soon as we saw that we got down to business, not missing the moment. We were keeping busy the whole week before too, with this apps and even the bbt I never can be 100% sure.

@Lowkeyloopy we are on the same cycle, same DPO. Are you having any symptoms? I wanted to chat yesterday but by 9:30pm I was asleep, completely tired. I am also having very mild cramps but it can be confused with stomach pain because it feels all around the abdomen, sore nipples (tmi) and soar throat. I don’t want to believe anything until I see my BFP.

This is the first month adding the bbt temp to the app and this is what I have so far. Let me know your thoughts! 😊

Anyone else in their 2ww?
JCQ2021 · 14/02/2021 19:10

@NW2021 I know! It can be hard, but Friday is not far away. You can do it! Are you having any symptoms?

NW2021 · 14/02/2021 19:26

@Lowkeyloopy It’s really interesting just to keep an eye on. I’m not sure how accurate it can be. I had a dip around 5/6dpo then it increased for 7/8 dpo. But I’m the same as you I didn’t exercise for around 4 days so I’m not sure if that’s the reason it’s increased?
Back to exercising tomorrow so we’ll see if it changes much again.

That’s some really positive symptoms! I think your bbt is looking good, you want the high temps after O as it shows progesterone which is good! Looks really good!
You’re all in a similar time frame for ttw can not wait till the poas begins!

NW2021 · 14/02/2021 19:29

Sorry @Lowkeyloopy wrong tag 🤦🏼‍♀️

@JCQ2021 I’m hoping this week will fly by! I keep thinking I’m having a few but just passing them off as normal around this time. Like I’m really really tired but always am before AF. Nothing that stands out to be honest. I’ve had a weird dull pain on and off down below for a few days but I dunno if I’m just over thinking it being there to be honest.

BlondieBlondie15 · 15/02/2021 09:30

Hey guys, hope you don’t mind me joining your thread, I’m currently 9 dpo and driving myself mad during this TWW, we’ve been trying to conceive for the past year and a half and sadly had 2 early miscarriages in this time both around 6+ weeks.
Hope your all ok and sending so many positive vibes ❤️ Xxxx

NW2021 · 15/02/2021 10:25

@BlondieBlondie15 welcome! You’re the same time as me I’m current around 9DPO and I’m in the thick of the madness 😂 how you feeling? I’m loosing hope today. Temps are all over the place and feeling absolutely fine. Literally no symptoms today so far.
So sorry for your Mc 😔 I really hope this is your month 🤍 xx

BlondieBlondie15 · 15/02/2021 15:42

@NW2021 Aww thank you so much sweet, so lovely to speak to people in the same position! ☺️ I’m not too bad so far, a little sickly and crampy but I amy symptom I get I straight away decide.. yup that’s pregnancy 😂😂 aww I so hope the no symptoms is a good sign.. lots of people seem to get a positive after no symptoms so fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻 Xxxxx

nibblette · 15/02/2021 16:46

I'm 15 days past expected date of ovulation (first day of expected period). I've decided to wait an extra week before testing in case my period is running late or I pick up a chemical pregnancy. My cycle is usually 28 days. I've been logging my symptoms and cycle in the Clue app and learning about how to check my cervix for signs of ovulation.

I stopped using the contraceptive patch in December. Last cycle I had PMS symptoms (sore nipples, increased appetite, food cravings, mood swings) begin about 5 days before my period.

  • This cycle I had suspected ovulation pain day 12 and high soft cervix with clear cervical mucus.
  • After ovulation my mucus changed to white and my cervix dropped low and hard.
  • 3-4 days before my period was due I experienced mild lower back pain and a mild intermittent cramping very low in the small centre of my pelvis. My discharge changed to clear and my cervix felt slightly softer.
  • 2 days before my period was due my cervix felt midway between soft and hard, some clear mucus with a few spots of blood. My nipples began to feel tender. No food cravings but have gone off sweets and fast food.
  • Today I'm due my period but have had no cramps or blood. The only symptom I have is sore nipples and swollen breasts.

I get the impatient urge to test now, but I'd rather see if my period is late as they say your cycles can be irregular after stopping the patch. Plus my symptoms could just by PMS. Been watching a lot of crap TV to try and take my mind off it lol. I've got two Clearblue early detection digital tests in the cupboard as I think looking for a second line could make me anxious.

caitvictoria · 15/02/2021 16:50

I’m 4dpo with baby #1! Really trying hard not to test too early this time around, think I’d like to wait until 14dpo on the 25th when I’m due AF. I’ve had some symptoms - nipples and boobs are sore, cramps on my left side today and felt really tired this morning on the walk to work! Then again, could just be in my head while I’m waiting

JCQ2021 · 15/02/2021 17:23

Welcome @BlondieBlondie15 @nibblette and @caitvictoria 💗🤗...we are here together to share our experiences and mad TWW moments lol

I am on my 6/7 DPO. Not sure how to behave anymore! I don’t want to test early but it is so tempting. I have been feeling a bit off today, headache and the sore throat doesn’t go away. My temperature is still high, same as yesterday. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

@NW2021 don’t lose hope, I have also read that no symptoms is also a pregnancy symptom. What you mean with temps all over the place? I have seen charts with temps going up and down and it’s positive too!

NW2021 · 15/02/2021 18:18

@nibblette you got the amazing willpower!! Day AF is due and not tested! I completely understand the waiting in case of chemical though. Fingers crossed this is your month

@caitvictoria hope the tww goes quick for you! I’m waiting till 14dpo to test as well.

@JCQ2021 that’s really positive sign with high temps! I feel all the AF symptoms to be honest. Slept for 2hrs today in the afternoon! 😳 in a foul mood & just overall hating today 😂 but it happens when af is due.

So around 5dpo temp dropped to like 55.23 so had to take it again as it obvs wasn’t right. Then this morning 9dpo it was way over 37! Something like 37.58. It didn’t beep though like it normally does so had to take it again. I dunno if my thermometer is breaking down on me?!

NW2021 · 15/02/2021 18:20

Just to give you an idea in my LP my temp averages at around 36.37. So those two days of random low and high temps was a bit weird?!

Fifi1086 · 15/02/2021 19:04

@NW2021 could it be implantation dip? Do you have a pic of your chart? Don't write yourself as out yet!

Still not in tww here as temp hasn't gone up yet, which I'm fine about as the opk strip was only positive yday. Sorry for tmi but my god the amount of EWCM... I didn't get that at all last month and was on the pill for years before that so totally not used to it! Hoping it's a good sign 😂

NW2021 · 15/02/2021 19:38

@Fifi1086 I thought that maybe? But I think it might of been to early? My chart still looks ok as it discarded the unexpected high/low temps because of the algorithm.

I’ve just been in a horrid mood today that I’m like it must mean Af is coming. Lots of af symptoms today. I’m just feeling all sorry for myself 😂😭

That’s a really good sign!! Lots of EWCM is what you want helps protect the sperm, so I believe!

nibblette · 15/02/2021 22:34

@JCQ2021
Thank-you! 🤗I'm really glad for making an account and joining this thread, it makes me feel a lot less alone reading everyone else's relatable thoughts and experiences and supporting each other.

Reading through earlier parts of the thread I totally agree with when someone pointed out at school they make it seem like you get pregnant on the first try and can make you feel anxious when it doesn't happen quickly. I've never had a baby before and this experience has already showed me how little I knew about trying to conceive and pregnancy. It's been a huge education and sometimes a little overwhelming with the amount of info that is out there.

Fingers crossed for when you decide to test! 💕

@NW2021

Thank-you it's been very challenging! 💕Had to speak to my partner this evening as to whether I should test tomorrow or wait a week. He asked me how I would feel if it was negative and I had to wait another week to re-test. I said I would feel the same as I do now without doing the test. He suggested it's best I leave it and whatever will be will be. It's just that niggling thought in the back of my mind of 'what if?' 😅

Fingers and toes crossed for you too. x

Fifi1086 · 15/02/2021 22:49

@NW2021 9DPO I think is most common day for implantation so you never know! Let us know what temp looks like tomorrow!

Coco987 · 15/02/2021 22:50

Hi I’m new to this site so not sure if I’m posting on the right page but just need some reassurance or advice, i have been TTC for only 2 months after I’ve came off the implant i was going to test this Friday but have just thought AF had come but only bled for about 2 hours and now no blood whatsoever could this be implantation bleeding or just a strange cycle I don’t want to test and get myself upset if it’s negative so any advice would be helpful x

nibblette · 15/02/2021 23:00

Hey @Coco987 I've had the implant before and was told because it thins the lining in your womb it can take several months for your periods to normalise. I think they tend to say if your cycles are irregular to wait at least 3 weeks after expected day of ovulation before taking a pregnancy test, as it will allow enough hCG to be present in your urine. x

Coco987 · 15/02/2021 23:06

@nibblette it will be 3 weeks on Friday I’m hoping I can still test then but my hopes have totally went down after this slight bleed today :(

nibblette · 15/02/2021 23:24

[quote Coco987]@nibblette it will be 3 weeks on Friday I’m hoping I can still test then but my hopes have totally went down after this slight bleed today :([/quote]
@Coco987 hugs it's totally okay and normal to feel upset over the bleed. Hopefully it's implantation bleeding, but if not then a new cycle is a fresh opportunity. When I was upset last month I let myself have a cry and feel sad for a day. x

Coco987 · 15/02/2021 23:31

@nibblette thank you, I think this is all I needed to hear like you say it’s a new opportunity and yeah I think it’s important to let these kind of emotions out and have a little cry if needed thank you for the helpful advice :)

NW2021 · 16/02/2021 07:18

@Fifi1086 did you get your high temp this morning? 🤞🏻

@nibblette completely get the ‘what if’ thoughts. I’m not getting them this month 😂 I just don’t want to get my hopes up, I’m just not feeling this month. It’ll be a massive surprise if i get a positive.

@Coco987 hope it’s implantation bleeding 🤞🏻

@JCQ2021 @1littlewren @Lowkeyloopy how you ladies feeling? 🤍

Fifi1086 · 16/02/2021 08:22

@NW2021 ahh I really just don't know 😂😂 I've attached chart. It's going up but very slowly 🙄 I know I ovulated yesterday though from all the symptoms. Is a slow rise normal? I give up 😂

@Coco987 fingers crossed for you that it's implantation bleed and not af!

Anyone else in their 2ww?
NW2021 · 16/02/2021 09:05

@Fifi1086 I think from what I’ve read it’s a 0.3+ increase on temp to confirm ovulation? It’s getting there! It’s positive you had lots of other symptoms as well!
