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 @NW2021 @Lowkeyloopy Thank you everyone for your lovely messages unfortunately it was AF :( I’m taking it much better than I thought I would though thanks to all of your support

@nibblette congratulations so happy for you :)

@JCQ2021 absolutely love that word!! 😂 least you covered all bases! Least you one week down and temp is rising which is good! I haven’t been having the exact same thoughts today! I had a high temp than normal and now thinking o god is it Covid 🙈

@Coco987 aww no! Gutting 😔 hope you’re ok! Lots of treats and chill time 🤍

Morning! How is everyone feeling today? Anyone any closer to testing?

Got my crosshairs this morning woohoo! So I'm 3dpo, finally!!

Morning @Fifi1086 🥰 nothing new from me. Was still boiling hot last night. Temp dropped slight this morning to 36.57 but still way above my base line. I’ve had lots more cramping this morning so not sure if that’s AF on her way! 😔 also getting like shooting pains in my legs 🤷🏼‍♀️ No idea what that is.
Either way I’m testing tomorrow! (So long as af doesn’t arrive today)

That’s brill news you got crosshairs confirmed!! Officially in the tww!! What a cycle it’s been for you already!

How’s everyone?! We must have some double dpo figures now?

@NW2021 eeeeeeek tomorrow!! So exciting! I hope AF stays away and have everything crossed for tomorrow. I have been living the tww vicariously through you so I'm invested 😂

I know, rollercoaster cycle. Really didn't think it would take til cd20 to ovulate but after chemical last month it prob threw me out of whack. Natural cycles seems to think I'm 4dpo but I'm gonna go with FF and stick with 3!

@Fifi1086 feels like Christmas Eve!! 😂 I really hope it’s not a massive let down and a negative! I’ve been having little things off and on but I honestly don’t know if I’m imagining them. Metallic taste/itchy nipple (only on one boob 😂) I dunno if I’ve spent too much time googling and I’m just over thinking it or if it’s actually happening?! I have no idea any more?! We’ll find out tomorrow hopefully!

Yeah I imagine the chemical will have defo messed up your cycle slightly. But least you’ve been able to confirm you’ve ovulated this month! Now the waiting begins 😬

Natural cycles has changed mine as well so it was either the Friday or Saturday. I covered both days! Always best to keep DTD just in case these apps change the O date later on! Which has happened to me twice!
So I’m either 12/13dpo today.

Congratulations @nibblette!! Wonderful news - best of luck for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Woop woop for your crosshairs @Fifi1086! What an ordeal to get to this stage - 2WW will be a breeze by comparison!

Welcome @Janey3090 ! Can I join this postponed wedding club? 😂 We were meant to be getting married in May this year but have postponed to next summer. Still planning to get legally married this summer though, all being well.. I’m really hoping to be pregnant by the first wedding and have my baby be the only exception to the “no kids” rule at the second! (Though our entire friendship group is getting pregnant these days so that rule may not be possible..!) So sorry you’ve had the stress of two postponements. TTC will be a very nice other “project” to take your mind off it!

Sorry to hear you’re feeling under the weather @JCQ2021 - hope it passes quickly. I’m sure it it were covid the fever would be even higher.

@NW2021 I’m so excited for you to test tomorrow! I’ll have to live vicariously through you a bit longer - my DP has said he really doesn’t want us to test until I miss AF and I’m going to try to respect that - I think he really doesn’t want to risk me (or him) getting hopeful then crushed.. he finds it hard enough hearing me speculate about symptoms.

But that’s what you guys are here for instead! Haha. I definitely feel a bit odd. I’m going to feel super stupid when AF turns up on time like nothing happened.. but I had definite cramping and twinging yesterday afternoon, I have a not v nice taste in my mouth (maybe just a cold..) and weirdly kinda achy teeth / itchy gums?! Also leant down to give my DP a kiss earlier (he was sitting down, not super short 😂) and I had a dizzy rush and had to stand up again! Nothing major, but just feels a bit different. But my boobs are kinda fine - bit tender but none of the itchiness and soreness you hear about.

My temp has also skyrocketed (see chart), but again, could that just be normal progesterone at this time (8-9DPO)? What do you guys think?

Your symptoms sound very exciting @NW2021 - I have everything crossed for you. If it doesn’t happen for us this month we have both GOT to remember not to symptom spot so much next month, haha.

@Lowkeyloopy We’re exactly the same! Wedding last year got postponed to May this year and then last month we moved to May 2022! Ours is ‘child free’ as well, I made a big deal about just adults & now I might have my own there 🙈
This is the May ‘post ponded’ wedding club 😂

It’s a long wait but I do feel better today that I’ve waited this time to test (last couple months I was testing from like 8/9DPO!)

I’m going to feel so stupid as well if I’m not. All these symptom spotting and be gutted if it’s just af! It doesn’t feel like that this month though? But I honestly don’t know if it’s when you think so much about it am I just thinking I’m tired or am I? Right now I can’t wait for my bed tonight 😂 but is it in my head? Sounds like I’m going insane doesn’t it! I’ve lost it 🤯
I think I’ve got to the stage now I just need to test so that I know it’s either yes or no.

Those temps are beautifully high!! That’s exactly what we want to see! All really positive!

If it doesn’t happen this month, this is me promising now I’m not symptom spotting! 😂 I can’t take the anxiety!

@NW2021 Haha there are going to be so many unmarried couples with babies next year because of Covid! Love it - we’re completing ignoring any old-fashioned suggestion you need to be married before you have kids!

So easy to drive yourself crazy, I know! Just try not to pin all your hopes on that test - it could still be too early to tell, and you are still so early on in the TTC journey too - it may feel right now like it’s taking ages but that’s only because there is so much flipping waiting around!

I read this article yesterday which made me really try to give myself a reality check about symptom spotting... for like.. 5 minutes sticksstripsandbabydancing.wordpress.com/2016/12/31/tww-progesterone-vs-pregnancy-symptoms-and-phantom-pregnancy/

Re temps - I hope so!! I don’t know what they were doing at the beginning of the month - seem all over the place, but I was still getting used to temping and waking up in the night. Finding temping so reassuring but just don’t want to be disappointed in a few days time if it drops...

@Lowkeyloopy that link is such a good read! Thank you. I know progesterone plays such a big part & even more so now I’ve read that I can understand how ‘symptoms’ for pregnancy and tww are literally exactly the same because it’s all down to that hormone. You literally can not tell the difference. Totally agree with the part where she said because you’re Ttc you’re constantly looking for symptoms & notice things that will have probs happened before but you’re more aware now. (Me currently! 😂🙈)

I’m actually really calm about it all now to be fair. If it happens it happens 🥰 It’ll happen when the times right I guess.

There is nothing worse than seeing that temp drop in the morning and knowing she’s going to arrive 😔 I hope that doesn’t happen and those temps stay high!

Evening all,

How're we all doing?? Hello to all the new faces 

@NW2021 is it testing time yet?? Any sign of the terrible AF?

@Fifi1086 and @Lowkeyloopy @JCQ2021 how're you all doing? Anything new to report?

I'm 7dpo today and in theory 8 days from AF. Feeling totally fine this month. I'm super chilled so far. Some how I think I've just already decided this month isn't the one but I think that's partly because so many people around me are announcing quick pregnancies that I've just decided it's not going to happen for us as we've been trying since Oct. Having said that, I am getting an odd sort of a feeling on my left side, sort of hip height, which is a new one!

@nibblette congratulationssss!!!🎉 so happy for you! Everything will be amazing and you will have a beautiful healthy pregnancy💕.

@Lowkeyloopy I am feeling better today. My temperature is still high and by looking at my bbt chart I Ovulated on the 8th, you can see the temp drop and then one day later it was higher. Flo says the 9th, but I trust my temperature that is was one day before. So now I feel more secure I am on 9DPO. I am only having one new symptom I never had before, itchy breast (both) and very annoying. I think last month I was having cramps around this time and to be honest, so far I am not feeling anything.

@NW2021 how are you feeling? Cramping can be a good sign. I really hate those symptoms that can be anything and makes us go completely crazy🙈

I was a bit lost. I just noticed I missed a complete page of the chat, my silly head. How are you girls doing?

Hey @1littlewren! All good here. Not much to report, 3dpo. I've had awful cramps today and have had 2 naps I'm exhausted. Obv it's too early for symptoms so maybe I'm just run down.

I'm so excited for @NW2021 to test tomorrow!

@JCQ2021 those temps look great so far!

@1littlewren I knew I was forgetting someone 😂🙈..all the flu like symptoms are gone, I feel fine. Just the itchy breasts and a bit tired.

I don’t want to think about all the ones who get pregnant around me, it doesn’t help with my peaceful thinking. Our time is coming, we don’t need to rush it!

So ladies... @Fifi1086 you were right with your feeling!! 😬😳🤯🎉 I can’t believe it!! Actually can’t believe it. Couldn’t sleep all night because I knew I was testing. Had to get up at 5.30 & test!

Ahhhh!!!!! Congratulations @NW2021 !! I’m so so happy for you! Those are super strong positives! How many DPO are you again? How are you feeling?! So lovely to see this result after going through it with you this month! Did you wake up DP to tell him?! Congratulations!! 🥳

@Lowkeyloopy I was made up how strong they were! So I’m around 13/14dpo today. I’m feel amazing! I think it’s all the adrenaline 😂 woke him straight away! He’s made up.
Thank you so much for keeping me sane this month girls!

My temps was still so high this morning I just knew something was different with it!
I’m so so excited it’s just such early days!

Ahhhhhhhh @NW2021 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Best news ever!!!!! Huge congratulations 💙💙

@1littlewren thank you so much! 🤍 still doesn’t feel real. I was shaking seeing the line come up straight away. Then I thought I best do the other one just in case!
I’m going out later for a digital because it need to see the words ‘pregnant’ 😂

AHHHHHHHH @NW2021 I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! I have had such a good feeling about it all month for you. I'm so so thrilled for you, such amazing news!!! This has made me want to hold off til 14dpo whenever I see lines as strong as yours! I'm so happy for you ❤️

@NW2021 omg congratulatiooonsss!!! 🎉 this is amazing! I am so so happy for you. Hahaha! Go get it, it must be very satisfying and exciting to see that word.

Happy Friday ladies! Great news to wake up with. Well, I am on my way to work but still early lol

My temp dropped a little bit today but only 0.2. I am not worried and if this month is not the month we will continue trying. I am actually not even having cramps, only itchy breast and nearly 2 days with that symptom.

Again, very happy for all the BFP of this month !!!💃🏻 💃🏻 💃🏻

@Fifi1086 you did know! 😂 those feelings! Honestly I’m so glad I held off from testing because just seen those strong lines I just feel so happy! No worries. I know it’s still so so early and lots of milestones to get past but for now I’m basking in the happiness 🥰 the OH is over the moon! But doesn’t want to get to excited yet, which is understandable.

Today is the first day I don’t feel tired but I think it’s adrenaline, I’ve been up since 5.30 so I’m sure I’ll be passed out by 8 tonight!

The one thing I noticed this last week was my temp was so different to previous months. (Id been temping for 3yrs before to prevent pregnant) so I knew 3 days before my temp would normally drop dramatically but it kept way above the base line.

Thanks @JCQ2021 mine actually dropped by 0.1 yesterday so I wouldn’t worry!

Things I did this month ladies was more DTD! (But even that was only twice in the end 😂 3rd time he couldn’t finish!) Brazil nuts, Pom juice & the seeds! Who knows if they helps?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you all so much for your support and listening to me go on this month!! 😂 still another week left of Feb, I can’t wait to see more bfp! 🤞🏻

I honestly am so over the moon for you, you'd swear I got the BFP 😂 which ttc cycle was this for you @NW2021?

@Fifi1086 😂 honestly appreciate the support so much! 🤍 This was technically our 4th month but the previous 3 months we tried it was either right at the start of the FW or the day after O. Just due to OH work. So this month was the one where we had the whole FW together.

Right whose next 😄 what dpo is everyone? We got any more tests in Feb?

Aw amazing @NW2021 that was great going then for your first cycle with the whole FW together!

4DPO now, ages away from testing! I'm going to hold out until at least next Friday when I'll be 11DPO as i think I've a short luteal phase. Will see tho...
