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

Anyone else get sore boobs from ovulation to AF? Makes it tricky to symptom spot!

marcella64 · 19/01/2021 15:07

@Moomin889 I have had bad boobs for years after ovulation, I read that vitamin b helps with the hormones in luteal phase and stops the pain. I'm 10dpo and so far no pain 😄

Brightspark12 · 19/01/2021 15:37

@Moomin889 I normally do - there was prob about a week of the month where my boobs didn’t hurt 😂
changed the last cycle or 2 and haven’t had them till a few days before AF

NW2021 · 19/01/2021 16:07

@Moomin889 I always tend to get sore boobs around/on ovulation but not so much in between ovulation-AF

trackiesandasmokeyeye · 19/01/2021 16:12

@Moomin889 I usually get sore boobs maybe a day or so before AF. Far too early for that but felt like my boobs were heavy rather sore yesterday, they just felt odd... must be in my head, I'm very impatient.

Lowkeyloopy · 19/01/2021 16:44

@Grace185 Fingers crossed AF stays away for you! I’ve never had spotting before so am weirdly hoping to see it as an indication of implantation!

I’ve also had a dull crampy ache on my right hand side for a couple of days (which I’m pretty sure would be the side I ovulated from based on mittelschmertz pains I’ve been kinda tracking..!) I’ve been off the pill for over a year now (not TTC, just sick of fake hormones!) and pretty sure I would have noticed cramping post ovulation before if that were a regular thing for me...

spirals into wild speculation

I’m also periodically poking at my boobs to see if they feel different. Good thing I’m working from home these days..

@Lowkeyloopy I'm glad I'm not the only one sat at home squeezing my own boobs - thank goodness I'm not in the office either 🤣

@Lowkeyloopy reads your message whilst also poking my boobs 🤣🤣🤣

Lowkeyloopy · 19/01/2021 18:20

@alixxx1 Baby dust to you too! I think I’ll make myself wait until a couple of days after AF is due. Unless I get other symptoms (eg in the boob department!) in the next week or so that I don’t think are AF-related. I might not be able to resist a FRER then!

@trackiesandasmokeyeye Welcome to the 2ww boob poking club! 😂

SophWolf · 19/01/2021 18:30

Sorry I can't keep up! I'm not sure whether I'm 8 or 9dpo today so going to try and wait until Thursday to test. Convincing myself of loads of symptoms today, headache, slightly dizzy, feeling a bit nauseous etc. but I'm also a bit flushed / red in the face which I think is an AF symptom for me so probably shouldn't get my hopes up!

Hi to all the new joiners!

W8inray · 19/01/2021 18:54

This is my first month TTC. I've been using the natural cycles app, but it's a bit tricky as my cycles have in the last year become increasingly long. some months 31 days, but other months 43 days so hard to know when I'm ovulating! I thought I was 6 DPO and had BD in the 3 days up to and incl. OV but the app changed its mind today and told me my OV was 2 days later! So that means we only BD 2 days before OV. Hoping it's enough anyway and trying not to be impatient during the 2WW. Anyone else using natural cycles? or had the same issue with varying / long cycles?

NW2021 · 19/01/2021 19:44

@W8inray hey! I’ve been using natural cycles for about 3yrs, at the beginning mine use to change a bit. How long have you been using it for? There are the odd months it changes give or take a few days. I haven’t had experience with long cycles unfortunately I’m around the 28-30 day normally.
I think 2 days before ov you should be good! I’ve read the sperm can survive up to 5 days.

W8inray · 19/01/2021 20:51

Thanks, that’s good to know. I’ve only been using it since mid November, so I did think it might need a while to get used to my cycles. Are you getting on well with the app then? At the beginning I was driving myself slightly insane because knowing I had to take my temperature in the morning was making me sleep badly. Settling down a bit now...

Nellieee · 19/01/2021 21:33

@alixxx1 think I'll text Saturday morning. Will be 12dpo then. Think you're one day ahead of me. When will you test?

Lolz to all the boob grabbing. I have been exactly the same!! 🤣

NW2021 · 19/01/2021 21:51

@W8inray yess it’s the best thing I did! I wanted to come off birth control for health reasons but switched to ‘pregnancy’ since Oct. It will take a few months for it to get an idea of your cycle etc give it time. I just keep mine by my bed and grab it when my alarm goes off. You’ll get in a routine with it in no time! I forgot a lot at first.

Brightspark12 · 20/01/2021 07:16

Has anyone got any developments today? CD28 for me😬 feeling quite ‘periody’ and boobs even more sore so I reckon she’s coming 😂

NW2021 · 20/01/2021 07:22

Hey @Brightspark12 ! I’m the same CD28 today and nervously waiting the arrival of Af. I’ve got no signs yet! But my cycle can range from 28-30. Have you tested at all?

Lowkeyloopy · 20/01/2021 07:50

Morning @NW2021 and @Brightspark12 - fingers crossed for you both in the next few days!

Nothing new to report but still having insomnia / interrupted sleep! Last night I woke up at 1am feeling wide awake, but managed to sleep for another couple of hours until 3am then did the same until 5.45am - at which point I just got up and did some yoga!

I don’t want to read too much into it because I’m only 6-7 DPO (I think) but it’s never happened to me before and I can’t think of anything else to explain it - caffeine, alcohol, phone before bed etc. So wondering if it’s a hormone surge? 🤞 Though I’ll look pretty silly when AF turns up next week and I realise it was in my head..!

Smartiesandhugs · 20/01/2021 07:51

Morning all. I’m CD26 today and tested even though it’s too early. BFN of course.
My cycles have been about 28 days but I didn’t ovulate until CD19 this month so I’m thinking it’s going to be a longer cycle and AF may not be due until Tuesday. Going to test again on Saturday I think

Brightspark12 · 20/01/2021 07:54

@NW2021 morning! Looks like we’re on the same timescales! I haven’t tested at all..I don’t have any in the house and prob for the best😂 when are you testing x
@Lowkeyloopy fingers crossed for you that it isn’t all in your head, it’s so hard isn’t it with driving yourself nuts with symptom spotting! Lucky we have each other to talk to so we don’t go mad! X
