Anyone else in 2ww??

[WillowRose1411]

Hello!
I’m a mummy to 2 girls ttc our 3rd rainbow baby after a loss last month. I’m officially 4dpo is anyone else in their 2 week wait who can join me?
Might be nice to get to know some other mummies to be to help ease the stress 🥰❤️

@Cakelaur wow sounds very busy are you still managing to stay afloat doing deliveries etc? Must be such a worrying uncertain time for small businesses!

Ha my husband probably feels the same with 2 girls and me. The dog is a boy though 😂 I’m completely 50/50 I’d love a boy for my husband and to experience having a son but I also love having girls and would be so happy with another! I think girl names are much easier too!

Xx

Exactly same thinking as me @WillowRose1411 I'm soo happy to have girls and would love another but would equally love a son. I know deep down that's my husbands preference though he'd never say so

I was so wanting another girl but after what we went through last year I'm just praying for healthy (if we even get pregnant!).
Anyone want to share unlikely/wishful thinking symptoms even though it's too early at 5DPO? 😁 😂 Mine are congested nose, constipation and a decrease in anxiety- a kind of 'calmness' that I noticed last time. Boobs don't hurt though and CM seems nothing unusual....

@ttcrainbowbaby1 I meant to reply to your post last night. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, that must have been very difficult. The timings and reminders are so hard. I opened an app to start tracking periods again and it popped up that I should be 31 weeks pregnant by now. 😞

@sickofthisyear thank you, I'm sorry for your loss too. On our due date we got a special candle, and I asked family to burn one too. They all sent photos and it was really warming to see my family members all remembering our baby and thinking about who they could have been. I really reccomend doing this when your due date comes along. It was such a difficult day and I'd gone into work the next day crying lol...

I hope this month is lucky for us tho! Big hugs x

@sickofthisyear totally agree I just want to be pregnant and have a healthy baby at the end. Ha I’m the same focussing on every twinge! The last 2 days I’ve had really sharp twinges on my left side like ovulation pain- I got pain on my left around ovulation too. Headache and extreme fatigue but that’s not unusual for me with 2 kids and 2 jobs to keep me busy 😂

Xx

Sorry for your losses ladies. I suffered an MMC with my first pregnancy and have been lucky enough to go on to have 2 healthy, crazy mini terrorists! So it will happen! And hopefully we can all get our two lines this month! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I've got no symptoms. 4dpo. And although we DTD on cd12,13&14 (positive opk on the evening of cd13) I feel really deflated about it all. We struggled to get our first one, and then lost it, conceived reasonably quickly with my first boy and then second boy was a complete surprise. He was a wedding night baby!! (Found out I was pregnant 3 weeks after the wedding and my period hadn't even returned!) so I was hoping this one would be a lovely surprise, but no luck yet. This is officially our second month properly trying, but it's my 5th cycle since baby.

My slight worry is I'm gonna be 37 this year and hubby is almost 40, so time is running out cos we don't really want to be having kids much later.

I really hope we covered our bases but beginning to wonder if we have. We dtd cd9,11(twice), 12, 13 (peak opk) and 14. I can't physically have done more I found it exhausting.

@Cakelaur same here with the mini terrorists! My girls are a handful! 😂 37 is still young though really hope you get your bfp soon!
I always question after if we dtd enough and at the right time! I too find it exhausting!
We dtd cd 15 and 16. Got peak opks cd 16 and 17. Really hope this is our month ladies!
If I don’t manage to get pregnant this month or next month we are going to have to pause for a while so I really hope we do!
I’m maid of honour for my sister in June 2022 and her hen do is planned for May and I don’t want to miss out if I have a young baby and can’t leave them for a night. My sister would understand but we are really close and she was an amazing maid of honour for me so we would wait until afterwards if it was t meant to be now. Xx

Does anyone chart?

I use natural cycles to record bbt temping and opks but that's it. What do you use?

Btw I'm 32 and dh is 40!

I use fertility friend to chart temps and opks too, it still baffles me each month it’s quite confusing!
I’m 30 dh is 31, you were a mum in your early 20s too then xx

Yep! I had my kids at 22 and 26, earlier than planned but hindsight's a great thing

I charted with my first. I miss it. I love charts and love analysing the charts. Feel free to share. I haven't done BBT this time round cos I promised hubby I wouldn't get too crazy about ttc. 🙈 little does he know I poas 5 times a day! 😂😂😂

I find with two kids that DTD is tough. We can only do it in the evening and by then we're shattered! It's also become a complete chore! But hopefully it won't be for much longer.

That's similar to us with regards to waiting. We'll go this month and next and then pause for a couple of months. We have SOOOOOO many birthdays between December and March. (Something like 40 between friends/friends kids and family) so unless we're really starting to get obsessive we'll probably take a break for a few months and try again early summer. We've got until the end of the year, then we'll just call it quits and be thankful for our two. Hubby also has an older son. So we do have a pretty full house.

@Cakelaur I agree it is shattering! And yes morning sex what even is that?! 😂

That’s like us sept-dec we have so many birthdays but I just want it SO badly! I just cannot let go of never being pregnant again or holding a little baby in my arms again. I know 3 children will be hard but I just know I’m not done. Especially as I had children so young (and found it difficult) I feel like I would really ace it this time being older wiser and more experienced 😂

I’ve attached my chart xx

I've just turned 40 and so I'm past worrying about clashes of birthdays! If I catch a good egg that month, they can share a birthday date for all I care 😂 There'll be an 7-8 yr age gap anyway so not so much 'competition'.
I never tried BBT as I'm not a great sleeper and there's no way I'd remember to do it ASAP before I've even had a drink/looked at clock etc. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just using clear blue OPKs. Only managed DTD twice as only got one day of 'high' fertility then it was peak! 🙈 So at least got those two days.

When is everyone thinking of testing?.... I'm hoping to hold out until after AF due (so another week away) but history tells me that's unlikely 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm going to be so anxious about any new pregnancy I figure the longer I don't know the less time I have to worry! 😁

I'm due on 16th so that's the earliest I'll let myself test. I agree that finding out too soon just adds to the anxiety especially after a mmc. I'm not buying any tests unless my temps stay high until I'm due on.

Im 8 dpo, wasnt going to test until 10 dpo so hopefully I will stick to that! Im due AF on 12th

My app changed my ovulation day today so af is due on weds 17th. Hoping to wait until then or longer if I can especially after past chemicals 🤞🏼 But when I have tests in the house I usually give in!

@WillowRose1411 my app tries to do that also based on length of period. I ignore it and go with the (earlier) date my OPK gave me. 😁

I think it’s possible I ovulated on cd 16 or 17 so I’m not sure what to think! I’m still pretty clueless with all this stuff 🙈

I'm 5 dpo, due on 16th Feb. I'm hoping not test before next Sunday, ideally I'd wait longer.

I’m in my 2ww! I’m cd30 and 8dpo! The ‘symptoms’ are driving me crazy; heart burn at about 2pm each day, dull ache all day yesterday with slight cramping, vivid dreams, very sore boobs, darkened nipples, back ache, feel a bit ‘run down’ and very strangely have noticed blue fingers (thinking circulation issues)! All of the above could be symptoms of AF or pregnancy 😔 and my circulars have been so erratic since TTC no3 that I’m not sure when I’m ‘due on’ or when to test; did tests Friday and today both negative which I’m hoping is just too soon! Any one in a similar situation? Or positive stories I could hear to keep my spirits up? Or should I just get to grips with the fact I’m prob not pregnant? X

I think our dates are very similar :) keep me informed of how you’re doing! Do U have any symptoms? X
