Hey all! Today is ovulation day, the 2WW is about to begin. Anyone else on the same cycle? Let's agonise over possible symptoms together!

I'm 3 dpo so pretty close to you. How long are your cycles ?

HopingForBabyM2021 · 25/03/2021 22:30

Oh yes very close! I only got the implant out 8n December and my cycle has been all over the place, but it looks to be about 30 days. How about you?? And how many cycles have you been TTC? Not sure how I'm going to get through the next two weeks!

ploopypleepy · 25/03/2021 22:32

I came off the pill 2 months ago following a MC in October. So since then only 2 months of trying! My cycle is also about 29/30 days. I know me too... I've already been googling 😂😂

HopingForBabyM2021 · 25/03/2021 22:38

So sorry about your miscarriage hun ☹️ hopefully this month will bring you some good news!

This is our first cycle and I've convinced myself it's going to happen. Have you been using OPKs?

OP posts:
ploopypleepy · 25/03/2021 22:41

Thank you! Haha I love your positivity, I'm gonna try stay positive too. No I havnt yet ... I thought if it takes longer than 6 months I will start using them. We have DTD plenty of times though to make sure we havnt missed ovulation. Are you using them??

HopingForBabyM2021 · 25/03/2021 23:05

Yes I started using them just because I'm not that sure about my cycle. Was so happy when I got a nice strong peak yesterday, reassured me that things seem to be working as they should!

Have you decided how early you're going to test? I've been deep diving into other threads and have seen that some people get faint positives as easy as 8dpo!

Hey, I think I'm 2dpo today. Month 3 of trying. Been using clearblue opk alongside cheap amazon ones. Fingers crossed for us ladies x

HopingForBabyM2021 · 26/03/2021 07:07

Hey @K8Tee! I've been using the easy@home with premom app and they're not bad at all. Was so confusing at first!

Can't believe today marks the 2WW. I keep reading stats on the likelihood of getting a BFP 😂. Fingers crossed for us! X

OP posts:
K8Tee · 26/03/2021 07:37

I've not heard of that one, haha yeah I found it confusing too but it doesn't take much 😅

I know, this 2 weeks are long, let time and the time before I was symptom spotting like crazy so trying not to this time. But we all know I will lol. 😆🤣 also hoping to wait till I'm due on to test but again, I bet i don't 😆

K8Tee · 26/03/2021 07:37

*the time

ploopypleepy · 26/03/2021 07:51

Good luck girls! 4 dpo today and I'm working all weekend so hopefully time will go quickly, don't think I'll test until day of missed period. If that happens. I've purposely got no tests in the house to stop the urge 😂

LondonladyTTC · 26/03/2021 08:01

Hi ladies, can I join you? I am 3dpo today and trying to keep myself distracted so that the time passes quicker! ☺️
I have been TTC for 10 months but have had a very short luteal phase which I only received treatment for two months ago so I actually feel like this is only the second month where I have had a chance.
It will be great to share the TTW journey with you!

HopingForBabyM2021 · 26/03/2021 18:15

@K8Tee I'm only on day 1 and already I'm convinced I can feel little twinges in my pelvis 😂 I've ordered some FRER, going to try to hold off as long as pos!

@ploopypleepy time goes much faster when you work! Annoyingly I've booked the next week off!! It's going to drag and I'll just spend my time thinking about this!!

@LondonladyTTC of course you can join! So happy you're finally getting some treatment to help! Must be such a relief!

I'm thinking I'll probs test at 10DPO which will be easter Sunday! We've got an outdoor lunch with hubby's family. They'll all be wondering why I'm not drinking! Haha

Here's to hoping we all get BFPs in the next two weeks!!

Poppypop87 · 26/03/2021 18:55

Hi! Can I join you?

I'm currently 4dpo and on first cycle. Thinking I will start using OPKs for the next cycle as just went with it this month

Fingers crossed for everyone here!!

HopingForBabyM2021 · 26/03/2021 19:08

@Poppypop87 of course you can! Welcome!
This is my first cycle trying and I'm so glad I used OPKs, would have got my ovulation date all wrong without it! And it was it's own little triumph to get a really strong surge haha

How old is everyone? Is this everyone's first time TTC?

158ff · 26/03/2021 19:15

1 dpo here 🙋 and would love to join you ladies. I'm 35 and this is my second (DC is 6). We decided on a bit of a whim to go for it on Sunday, which felt terrifying, but now we've gone for it I'm keeping everything crossed for a bfp. First cycle of trying. Good luck to everyone 🤞🤞

HopingForBabyM2021 · 26/03/2021 19:19

@158ff ah we are on exactly the same timeline! Oh how lovely that you already have a little one. Absolutely love that you decided on a whim 😂

I'm 28 and hubby is 31, this will be out first (fingers crossed)!

OP posts:
158ff · 26/03/2021 19:49

@HopingForBabyM2021 fingers crossed for our bfp cycle buddy! Im symptom spotting already 🙈 felt sick yesterday and today but there's no way that can be pg related (wishful thinking).

K8Tee · 26/03/2021 20:30

@HopingForBabyM2021, my af is due on 4th April too so we're going to be testing very similar time. I've got a feeling I might come on late this month though as I didnt ov until day 14 or 15 whereas normally its day 12/13. I have an underactice thyroid and pco but somehow my periods have always been bang on.

Nice to meet everyone on here, its nice to have people to speak to in the same situation 😊

Re symptom spotting, its just so hard not to isn't it. I convinced myself u was pg the last 2 months months I'm af came. I'm 31 and we are trying for number 2. Our daughter was a bit of a surprise for us, she's 4 now. this will be month 3 of trying.

K8Tee · 26/03/2021 20:32

Where abounds is everyone from? I'm Nottingham x

ploopypleepy · 26/03/2021 20:46

Hey I'm near Manchester :)

Poppypop87 · 26/03/2021 20:47

@HopingForBabyM2021 that just shows its so hard to know when you ovulate isn't it. I've been using an app to track my periods for a long time before ttc and that does show when you should be ovulating but obviously isn't accurate.

I'm 33 and DH is 29 and this will be our first aswell

@158ff I've also been feeling sick the last couple of days, it's so hard to not think it's related even though there's no way it can be yet

HopingForBabyM2021 · 26/03/2021 20:59

I'm from London. Love that we are all dotted around the UK.

I'm convinced I can feel twinges in my pelvis, but obviously they're just ovulation pains. I've been googling 'very early pregnancy symptoms' like crazy 😂

How often is everyone BDing around ovulation? I've seen some posts where some people are BDing twice a day!! I think my poor hubby would die! We've been doing everyday for 5 days to cover the fertile period. Hope that's enough for us!!

OP posts:
K8Tee · 26/03/2021 21:02

We did every other day leading up to ov and once after ov but didn't catch for the 1st 2 months. Tried daily this month but it was hard work lol! Don't think we'd we'd able to do daily again. We'll I would but.... it takes 2 to tango lol!

HopingForBabyM2021 · 26/03/2021 21:05

@K8Tee I totally feel you! I said to hubby yesterday evening that I hope we get lucky first month because I can't keep this up every month indefinitely 😂
