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

@NW2021 I am over the moon for you. Your positive makes me feel positive. I still have high temp, 36.9 at 6:05. I took it right when the alarm scared me out of my sleep lol

I am 10dpo. I will wait like you did and test on Tuesday 😊

How are you feeling? What other symptoms you had?

Hahah @Fifi1086 I felt the same - I genuinely let out a “yay!” when I read @NW2021’s news this morning! DP was confused - “hang on, who’s pregnant?” “Ermmm - a stranger I met on the internet...?” 😂

10 DPO for me and my BBT has nose dived this morning! From the high of yesterday at 37.25 to 36.8! Annoyingly I had to take it at 5am when I randomly woke up then, so I hope that’s all it was and that it goes back up tomorrow... I definitely had some twinging yesterday so also kinda hoping it could be an implantation dip. Please send me positive high temp vibes! Otherwise got slightly tender boobs but nothing unusual for this time of the month, have a stuffy nose and am feeling a little light-headed but I am tired from a busy work week. So basically feel normal... Let’s see what the next few days hold.

My DP suggested this morning not testing until “a few days after your period was meant to arrive, just to be safe”. I nearly lamped him - don’t they understand how difficult it is to wait?!! I’ll prob test day of AF’s scheduled arrival if she’s not here yet (24th).

@JCQ2021 Itchy breast def sounds like a positive symptom! Exciting. When are you thinking of testing?

@JCQ2021 Oh we cross posted and you’ve answered my Q! I will test vicariously through you then if you’re testing Tuesday and I will be trying to convince myself to wait for Wed!

@Fifi1086 I’m actually so shocked it happened! Really is those months you don’t think it will.
I defo think they’ll be more positives for this group! 🤍

@JCQ2021 that is a good temp! If you can hold out I’ve felt a bit more reassured seeing a stronger line. You’re double figures as well!! Not long till the test 😬

@Lowkeyloopy haha that made me laugh!! bless you! Thank you 🤍 they have no idea do they! 😂 I didn’t even tell OH I was going to test. I waited till af was due today.
I did have a dip in temp in the ttw! It could be because it was taken at different times maybe? Sending you all positive vibes it increases tomorrow! 🤍

I feel really normal today! Apart from some cramping and boobs feel heavier but not hurting just fuller.

@NW2021 Congratulations! That's wonderful news. I think I'm 5 DPO and I'll try to wait til I'm 13 or 14 before testing.

I don't monitor my temperature because I would probably end up worrying and obsessing so I'm just going to try to distract myself until then. My husband keeps telling me to get off the Internet too because he knows I read about fertility stuff on here but I can't do that.

@NW2021 did you take a digital and get your 'pregnant'? This month was meant to be for you with the OH at home. I'm so thrilled for you!!!

@JCQ2021 I think you'll be the next to test, are you waiting for AF due date? Then @Lowkeyloopy! @Fifi1086 you aren't that far behind either! Still lots more BFP this month I think!

I feel like we've all been a bit calmer this month and have somehow developed a little more self control for testing. Although I can feel the itch to test creeping up on me!!

@Somatronic thank you!

@1littlewren I’ve just been out to do one, bloody hell those clear blues are expensive!! Still doesn’t feel real looking at it.

Yes @JCQ2021 are you next? I can not wait for more positives!

@NW2021 so good to see it in black and white! Some good strong hormones to get 2 - 3 also!!

Being honest, I think I'll be crushed this month if it doesn't happen which is silly as we've just started trying. We really put a huge effort in though. In my head I'm like, I don't think it'll be this month for us but it could be my head trying to prepare myself! I really should be thinking that if it isn't this month then there's next month, but I'll be so disheartened. Sorry for the negative post! Just been thinking about this today

@1littlewren yes, I am next to test but I want to wait until Tuesday. Today is CD10 and I want to wait to CD14. I don’t know what to think anymore, I want to see what happens. If I continue reading about symptoms I will continue having them 😂...so far I feel fine. Still just itchy boobs as the only new thing for me, never felt it before.

@NW2021 so beautiful to see and so amazing to feel!❤️ I will stay positive thanks to you. You know what you mentioned about the RHR, I have noticed mine increasing. How was your one today?

In the end it happened! You don’t need to think about the negative part anymore. You did it and that’s all it counts now!

Sending you virtual hugs💗

@Fifi1086 I know! That was at 8pm tonight as well. So feeling positive.
Stay positive lovely!! I understand what you mean though, I honestly thought it wasn’t our month but it will happen lovely!

@JCQ2021 good shout waiting. I have everything crossed for you! RHR today stayed at 61 but last week it increased about 1bpm per day. Good sign if yours is increasing 🤞🏻🤍

I took a Premom HCG test this evening, I’m 11 DPO and on my 4th cycle (came off the pill Oct 2020). I think it looks positive but I am so worried it might be a false positive due to a lot of the reviews about Premom HCG tests. I have to wait until morning to try again with different brands (I poured away by urine before checking the result, damn!).

Well that's a definite positive @JessD2B not an evap!!! Loving all the BFPs ❤️

Hi all,

I am brand new here, a little about me. I came off the pill 4th Jan. Currently TTC, but very aware that it may take my body several months to get back to normal after being on the pill for so long. I am use the clue app.

I have read 90% of this thread (must admit I had to Google a few of the acronyms lol) and have found it a great support despite not being actively involved in the chat, so I thought why not get involved.

I am CD31 today but this is my first full cycle since coming off the pill, originally the app predicted AF to start on 18/02 but then changed to tomorrow 20/02. I had ovulation pains around 5th / 6th but not currently using any ovulation tests. So we shall see if AF turns up tomorrow.

Congratulations to all those that have had positive results And to those still trying, I wish you all the luck and send lots of positivity your way!

@Fifi1086 I took another 3 tests morning and I’ve got my BFP! Thank you so much to everyone for your support. Good luck to you all, spreading fairy dust xx

Oh my goodness, I’ve been away from the thread for 2 days and 2 BFPs!

Huge congratulations @NW2021!! Maybe the seed cycling did help?! I’ve ordered some for next month 😊

Huge congratulations @JessD2B too!! Such lovely positive news - pun fully intended!

I’m on CD11 now, because of my Uber ling cycle last month my app thinks I’ll ovulate next weekend but I think it’ll be middle of the week. So hard having no clue so think I might have to start temping if I’m not successful this month. Going to try and dtd every other day all week just to cover all bases.

Who is next to test?

Thank you @Randomness12!!
I changed up DTD, so not every day, like we had done before. Tried to be a bit more relaxed which seemed to have worked.
Good luck xx

@NW2021 lovely to see it in black and white! Has it sunk in yet today? 🙂

Congratulations @JessD2B!

@Somatronic I felt the same about you about temp tracking - didn’t want to do it at first in case I got obsessed! I did find it helpful for confirming ovulation though, otherwise I know I’d be worried about that! So hard to stay off the internet isn’t it - my DP says the same. I think if we weren’t in lockdown with nothing to do, I would be a bit better about it!

Welcome @Kp91! It’s lovely to hear that the thread has been a support - def get involved! If it helps at all, I was on the pill for yeeeeears, came off it in Oct 2019 (not TTC, just wanted to get back to “normal”) and my first few cycles were 33 days, then 24 days then 30 days. Since then they’ve settled to 27/28 days every time. My friend got pregnant her 4 month off the pill and said OPKs really helped her target O as her cycles were all over the place! Have you had any possible PG symptoms?

@Randomness12 - good plan with the DTD every other day! From everything I’ve read that sounds like the best thing to do if you don’t want to / can’t track, and helps stay less stressy about it! We did every day during the FW and my poor DP was knackered! Not sure I’d do that again!

So I’m sooo bored of this waiting now... I really want to test so I can just think about something else..! I’m pretty sure it’s not happened this time - I know some people have no symptoms and are PG, but I really think I’d feel something by now.. I’ve got no extreme boob tenderness or nipple sensitivity, I’m tired-ish but only because I had a verrrry busy week at work with some late nights, and anything else I’m feeling just seems too minor. Like slight light-headedness and I woke up very hot in the night last night - that could be anything though!

I was saying to DP that an early test at 12 DPO would likely pick it up if I was PG, and if I get a BFN then, at least I can relax, stop thinking about it and just wait for AF. He gets it and I think is happy to test then. But then there’s the chance of picking up a line that turns out to be a chemical, which makes me nervous.

What do you think I should do?! Early test tomorrow at 11-12 DPO or have a bit more patience and see if AF turns up on Wed?!

Oh and PS my temp did jump back up again after the dip to 36.8 yesterday. It was 37.10 this morning, so about 0.45 above the cover line. That’ll be your positive high temp vibes @NW2021!

@JessD2B that's so good to hear I'm delighted for you!!

5dpo today. I've decided I'm going to test next Friday at 11DPO and if that's bfn then not test again until AF is late. I was super emotional last night over nothing (had a cry which I never do) and woke up with a cold sore 😭 so must be run down. Haven't had one in a long time. I hope the next week flies past!

@JessD2B congratulations! 🎉

@Randomness12 hopefully the seeding helped! I normal get spotting before my period in the past which I think I read it can be when your progesterone can drop so maybe the seeds & nuts helped cause I’ve had no spotting?! Worth a try maybe?

@Lowkeyloopy doesn’t feel real still! Although I feel a bit weird & im so so tired!

Honestly I felt the same! I didn’t have, still haven’t got any boob pain, no other symptoms other than tired and just cramping. Oo actually I had 2 nights where I was just so hot! I don’t want to get your hopes up but it sounds similar to me last week.
Go with what you feel will help you lovely! I knew if I seen a faint line it would stress me out wondering if it’ll be chemical or if the line will get darker that’s the only reason I waited. If you think it’ll help you lovely and you’ll relax by testing then do it! I think the first response will pick up at 11/12 dpo!

Sending you lots of positive vibes if you do test 🤍🥰

So gang, mini update from me. I woke up this morning (11/12 DPO) with a really stuffy nose and slightly sore throat and was super thirsty, temp still pretty high at 37.1. Did some standard googling about a stuffy nose being a PG symptom, got so irritated with myself for yet more symptom spotting and said to my DP “agh I just want to test now”. And to my complete shock, he said “yeh, go ok then - you’ve been very good not to test so far!”.

Of course I then realised I didn’t have any early response tests in the house! So I used a cheapie Boots own one and I think I saw a faint line! Appeared within the 5 minutes. Asked DP to check straightaway and (again to my shock) he agrees! Eek! Tried taking a photo but it’s so faint!

We’re going out shortly to buy a FRER, so I’ll try that this afternoon after a hold.

We both discussed the risk of a chemical and said to ourselves we’ll accept the risk of that sadness and disappointment because it’s our first month trying, and if it happens, we’ll tell ourselves that at least we knew we can (1) conceive (so his swimmers and my egg work!) and (2) implant, and that we just need to be patient and try again for a super sticky bean. I would obviously be sad, but on my balance (for me personally) it’s a manageable risk.

So, I’ll update later! In the meantime @NW2021, I just chugged a load of pomegranate juice and had a handful of Brazil nuts! 😂

@Lowkeyloopy omg this is amazing news!! Got everything crossed for you!! Let us know what the early response says!!! 🤍🤞🏻

@Lowkeyloopy dying to hear what the result is!

Oh wowza..! It’s faint, but it’s definitely there - it looks so light in the photo but I promise it’s there! Haha. Both me and DP looked after 3 minutes. Kinda in shock! Still so early of course - I’m at 11/12 DPO, so this still might not work out for us and I’m going to try not to get overexcited yet. We’ve both just said that we’ll take it a day at a time and be grateful for what we have now - confirmation that it’s possible! Going to test again on Tues at 13/14 DPO.

How is everyone else? Hope you’ve had god weekends!

Haha @Fifi1086, you send your message as I was typing this - great minds!

Lol or *good weekends even! Whatever works for you, haha.
