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

@1littlewren AF due on Weds. I’m not going to test again just going to wait now and see what happens after Weds.
That makes me feel a bit more positive that it can take a while for BFP.
Gotta stay positive and see what happens! 🥰

@1littlewren I can see a line too, but if it didn't come up in the first five minutes I wouldn't get my hopes up. I got an evap out of time frame when trying for one of my others using a blue dye test. They have a bit of a rep for evaps if left. I hope that isn't the case for you though and also it's very early days yet, so still plenty of time to get bfp if this isn't it.
My littles are two next month and four and a half, both boys. Do you have a boy or a girl? Going from one to two was absolutely fine for me. When you have one your life's changed already so there isn't that adjustment to make. It was hard at first for my elder boy suddenly not having me to himself and I think most of underestimate what a big deal getting a sibling is for little ones. But to see them playing together now it's so so worth it. Especially with lockdown I've been so grateful every day that mine have each other to play with.

@NW2021 good luck for later! Buy a pink dye test!

There has been no further development on AF since this morning, so I've stupidly not given up all hope yet (yet I know this is wrong) x

@NW2021 oh just seen your update. Hopefully it's just too early yet xx

@Violet1988 thanks! I’ll remember that try stay away from blue die ones! Have you taken any tests yet? I think your AF is due the same time as me! I’m just going to hold out now and see what happens this week when AF is due

@1littlewren I can definitely see a line too!! You should absolutely test again tomorrow morning when the concentration should be higher. Looks promising tho! ❤️

@NW2021 yeah one this morning was negative. Took one because of my imaginary symptoms and because I had some left over from trying for DS2. They were a little out of date though 06/20? Had a bit of bleeding straight after taking it but AF not fully started yet. X

@Violet1988 I was the same with the symptoms & also I’m impatient 😂 I’ve looked back on my previous cycles (I use Natural cycles) and I normally spot pre AF around this time. Nothing yet but I keep waiting for it! Really don’t enjoy these 2ww 🙈
Could it be implantation bleeding you may of had?

Does anyone also track Basel temp? I was looking back at mine and normally drops about now but stayed slightly higher than normal. I think I’m just reading to much in to all this and just keep looking for positive signs!

I hope it is implantation bleeding but I think I'm just clutching at straws. It's a bit rubbish because if I'm being sensible I now can't try for the next three cycles because of the bloomin covid vaccine. I'm NHS staff so Ive had dose one and there is the 12 week wait between doses. If I got pregnant then I can't have my second dose. Really don't want to stop for three cycles though. Hence clinging on to the unrealistic belief that this isn't a period starting slowly but is in fact implantation bleeding 🤣.

I tracked basal body temp for one cycle once. My sixth cycle trying for DS1 and got him that cycle.

I started tracking bbt after ovulation this month which I know is pointless, but it was more so to get the hang of it for next month if nothing happens this cycle.

I'm either 4dpo or 8dpo depending on which static smiley face was actually ovulation 🙄 I'm working off 4dpo so I don't rush to test. Ive a headache and my gums are swollen and sore and I've had a weird tightening sensation down low for a few Days that isn't easing up, I'm not trying to symptom spot but it's uncomfortable as hell!!

@Violet1988 well I really hope it’s implantation bleeding! Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Fifi1086 I do defo think it helps tracking for ovulation. Once you get in a routine with it, it helps knowing your fertility window.
I’ve not heard of swollen gums symptom?! I get the tightening though! But I can’t tell if it’s the start of AF or not?!

I have some cramping today. I’m due on Thursday but have had shorter cycles in the past, though very rarely. I’m roughly 7/8 DPO. Very grumpy and pms though so I think I’m likely out this month

@NW2021 10dpo can still be early to test though can't it! Which test did you use? X

@alixxx1 I’m hoping that’s the case 🤞🏻 Still no signs of AF so I’m keeping positive.
It was just really cheap one from home bargains. Said early response on it but was only 99p 😂 I’m waiting for missed AF before I go for a CB
Would you recommend any brand?

@NW2021 apparently first response early response is the best and meant to be better as it's pink dye. Asda do an early response pink dye too which is obviously a lot cheaper lol xx

Morning ladies! How we all feeling today? I've felt weird all weekend and ended yesterday feeling crampy and nauseous, spent far too much time googling and reading old threads on here 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm secretly a little bit glad to be going to work today so I haven't got time to think about anything else. Not due AF until a week today so I need to calm down 🤣 Any testers today?

Update no bleeding since that bit yesterday morning after my negative test. Have had cramps last night / this morning and backache. AF due Tuesday or Wednesday but I think it will probably be later this morning. At least it wasn't a 24 day cycle though. How is everyone else this morning.

@1littlewren so I can’t stop myself testing 😂🙈 but bfn again. I just think it’s not meant to be this month but we’ll see. I’ve had to make myself a plan for today so I don’t just keep thinking about it!!
I’m still getting the cramping in my side and feeling sick but I just think it’s signs AF is in her way 🤷🏼‍♀️
Ps I’ve done the exact same all weekend! 😂 I can’t stop reading about it all.
