Starting my 2ww today would anyone like to join me?

I got a positive opk yesterday morning and by last night it was gone
Ovulated on day 20/21 think I ovulated during the night as yesterday I had mild cramping in ovary area and today nothing

Hope people join in with me and we can do it together

@whymewhyme could it be implantation spotting? I had spotting from 11dpo til 14dpo as I was pregnant with my daughter.

@Sunshine085

Hope this is your month!
It's all so stressful isn't it.
It's strange because for my 3 kids, I was really lucky and fell pregnant straight away. Never did OPK tests etc I feel like I'm constantly overthinking everything now and I hate it . Could also be my age (almost 39, hubby 45)
Fingers crossed for all of us xx

Sunshine085 · 30/10/2021 06:55

@Sesamechick have you gotten any test dne as your over the 1 year mark or are you thinking it's more to do with not dtd at the right time during some cycles? If you are concerned about age being the problem are you and your partner taking any q10? Supposed to help with quality of egg and sperm.

Sunshine085 · 30/10/2021 06:55

Sorry, meant CoQ10

Sesamechick · 30/10/2021 06:58

@Sunshine085

I personally think it's because we not DTD at the right time. If nothing happens by New Year than I will contact GP, can't hurt I suppose.
To be honest we take usual vitamins and I take folic acid but nothing more. I used to take prenatals but I heard they can lengthen your cycle etc
Going to look into coq10. Haven't heard of those x

Sesamechick · 30/10/2021 07:02

@Sunshine085

Just looked up CoQ10. How many MG would you recommend for hubby and I to take? Sale on it at Holland and Barrett.

Thanks x

Gemma3439 · 30/10/2021 19:37

Any updates from anyone? Xx

I managed not to test this morning, but still have sore boobs. Think I'll be 10 dpo tomorrow morning, might test then.

Hoping43 · 30/10/2021 20:08

I don’t test but I haven’t had sore boobs this month and I normally get them straight after ovulation. I’m assuming this isn’t a good sign! But it’s a different one!

Hoping43 · 30/10/2021 20:08

My acupuncturist advised between 200 and 400mg per day

giftswap2020 · 30/10/2021 20:17

@Hoping43

That's the same as me, I don't know what to think. Normally get sore boobs right after ovulation. I didn't this month, only started to get sore at around 6/7 dpo. So odd, this symptom spotting is so difficult!
I don't know whether it's a good sign on not😩
When are you testing?

Sunshine085 · 30/10/2021 20:26

@Sesamechick I am not too sure to be honest. I think that I took 600mg as I had recurrent miscarriages. Now I am only taken 300mg as havent researched it this time and I am not 100% certain that I did actually take 600mg. Sorry for being no help.

Hoping43 · 30/10/2021 21:09

I don’t test 🙄 so I won’t be 😂. I’m 7 DPO and my boobs still don’t feel sore. I hate the TWW, so easy to get your hopes up with any change of symptoms x

Sesamechick · 30/10/2021 21:24

@Hoping43 Thank you!

@Sunshine085 no need to apologise, you have helped by telling me about CoQ10. Thank you! X

Hoping43 · 30/10/2021 21:27

@Sesamechick I heard this is supposed to be good www.pharmanord.co.uk/all-products/daily-supplements/q10-30

I haven’t tried that one. I just buy normal supermarket ones but might give it a try. Looks expensive though if you want to take 400mg a day

Sesamechick · 30/10/2021 21:31

@Hoping43
Thank you, I'll check it out.
I keep telling myself I'm out this month BC I don't feel we DTD enough 😬

Sesamechick · 31/10/2021 07:27

Like the POAS addict I am, I obviously have no self control. I torture myself and I can't help it.
Today I'm 6/7 DPO and obv a BFN. Realistically I know it's too early to test (and add the fact we prob didn't DTD enough) but oh well.

Sunshine085 · 31/10/2021 09:09

@Sesamechick dont give up hope yet.

Did anyone else test today?
I am planning on testing tomorrow or tuesday at 9/10 dpo but I know it will be a bfn. With my 4 previous pregnancy's I got implantaion pain, soar throat, stuffy nose and pregnancy dreams from 6/7dpo til bfp. I have non of those symptoms this cycle, so pretty sure I am out.

Curlywurly3 · 31/10/2021 18:37

@Sunshine085 I tested today, only 7DPO and a BFN. Expected it but tested out of curiosity as I felt really dizzy earlier. Will give it a few more days 🤞🏻

Gemma3439 · 31/10/2021 19:52

Hope everyone's doing well ? Any bfp yet?

I am still crampy every day which normally doesn't happened some sharp pains feeling a little off my food.

What's everyone else's symptoms like x

giftswap2020 · 31/10/2021 19:53

Tested today, bfn😩

Cramping on and off, smells seem very strong

Period due on Thursday so we will see🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hoping43 · 31/10/2021 20:07

I still don’t have any symptoms really. A few spots which I normally get but still no sore boobs and I’m 8DPO now and they normally start at 1DPO and last til day 9/10 🤷🏼‍♀️

whymewhyme · 31/10/2021 20:08

I'm out....on to the next month! Good luck to eveyone else.

Sunshine085 · 31/10/2021 20:35

@whymewhyme sorry to hear that your out. Good luck with your next cycle!

@Curlywurly3 there is still lots of time to get your bfp this cycle.

Also tested today at 8dpo and of course a bfn. No idea why I couldn't just wait.

Gemma3439 · 01/11/2021 08:03

Anyone tested this morning? X
