Hello all! I'm starting my two week wait today, who fancies joining me? 😍

The 2WW is painfully slow, I find it really helpful to have fellow girlos to talk to about it. No judgement here.

To start tell me your story! Here's mine:

We accidentally conceived in Jan 2020, but had a MMC in Feb 2020. We weren't ready for it then, but we still desperately wanted it to work out. Fast forward to today, we've bought our first home and we have a gorgeous 8 month old puppy. We're ready to start on the TTC journey. 🍼

I am on CD24, with an average cycle length of 35-40 days.

This is my first cycle TTC, no other children aside from my fur baby 🐶 x

Oh I need to join! 7dpo and I am STRUGGLING!

What breed is your puppy?

A bit about me. Trying to conceive no. 2, DS is from a previous relationship though so this will be DP first. We are on cycle 2. Cycle 1 completely missed the fertile window 🙄

We are currently renovating our house so are away from each other for some of the time due to work and the Reno. But this fertile window we were with each other so 🤞🏼

How are you feeling about this cycle? X

Hey @MrsYan thanks for joining!

I am trying not to get my hopes up, but I have been tracking and did catch my fertile window. Research says there's only a 30% chance you get preggo on your first month trying. A mix of excited and worried! We only DTD twice around the fertile window.

How are you feeling about this cycle? Fingers crossed for you 🤞

I have a whippet puppy called Pablo, he is a good boy most of the time. That's exciting that your renovating!

We're waiting for planning permission to be approved for a small extension we're adding to the house. They say never to do babies and building at once but we can't wait anymore 😂 hopefully it'll be finished for the big day.

@Rachipops oh exciting! What have you been tracking this cycle, bbt? Ovulation tests? I have been tracking absolutely everything!

We also only DTD twice in fertile window, so hopefully that's lucky for both of us.

Haha I know, and we all thought getting pregnant was as easy as just having sex 🙄🙄🙄🙄 how we were lied to!

I'm feeling good about this cycle, very positive... will see how long that lasts!

What date do you think you are due AF?

Aww your puppy sounds lovely. I can't wait for our house to be done as we are planning on getting a puppy too

I'm sure your extension will be finished in plenty of time.

Are you on the Uk? X

In the uk that was meant to say!

@MrsYan I had been tracking with BBT and OTKs for months but took a break from it all.

We decided we would hold off until the new year and just enjoy Christmas. However, we slipped up and DTD anyway haha. So I'm partly going off my previous charted cycles, and also doing OTKs.

In the new year I'll start temping again.

My ovulation pain is horrible tonight though, and big strong positive LH tests. So bring on the next 2 weeks ❤

Will you be testing early or do you have strong will power?
