2WW - How are you feeling?

[Lozzza90]

Hey Ladies,

Anyone else in their 2WW and want to share their updates and get through this dreaded wait? Here's mine 😊

Last AF: 05/12/2021

Ovulation (peak) 19/12/2021
(Used clear blue digital test and now bought the more advanced one but was too log to use this time round) *

DTD* - on peak day and a few times during the lead up to on flashing smiley days but always feel it's not enough. (OH is TP1 diabetic and it's a bit difficult for us to dtd on the right times)

Since Boxing Day I've been a bit off which was approx 7DPO. I had a funny turn and felt twinges but mainly just sucky and felt off. I'm not a massive drinker but I've just not fancied it at all.

Today 28/12 (9DPO) - feeling off still, getting twinges in my belly as we speak, quite low down. I had a cup of coffee this morning and nearly spat it out as it tasted situating! I love my morning coffee! Boobs are a little tender too. That only started this evening and I feel incredibly warm.

My cycle varies from 26-31 days and I've been tracking it for years so I always go in average at 28 days.

I came off pill sept 2020, had my first period and then tried straight away for approx 7 months. We unfortunately put it on hold as I lost two close family members in a short period of time and my mind was else where of course.

We started again this month... hoooorayyyy! I'm 31 now and really hoping it's time for us! Eagerly waiting for the weekend to POAS but we all know easier said than done!

Im Googling and going mad on here and promised I wouldn't do it to myself again! Please ladies share your experiences with me and how you're all getting on! 🤞🏻😊 xx

@Catmom21 & @Lozzza90 you both seem to have really promising symptoms! I am also have the same old symptoms of backache, a bit of a pulling feeling in my stomach & tired. I’ve now convinced myself I didn’t ovulate when I thought I did though so just going to try to wait patiently for AF to arrive, whenever that may be

I think AF is arriving shortly too :( the twinges here and there have changed completely to my usual period pains but I'm not due until Sunday/Monday! What a lovely way to start the new year! 😭

Happy new year ladies! I truly hope 2022 does become our year! Let's keep this thread going as you've all been so lovely and the support on here has been amazing!

How is everyone doing? Xx

Happy new year to all of you!
I caved in, tested with SMU today and bfn.

I guess 2022 resolution- stop testing at all!

Happy New Year everyone - this will be our year!!

I’m CD25 today, tested the other day early with BFN obviously and trying to commit to no testing until AF due now…

Hey! Would love to join.. I'm new on here. Im 29 and TTC #1 came off pop in August so this is cycle 5 ttc but probably only 3 proper cycles since my body regulated again. I was tracking bbt and lh tests but it all got a bit stressful and started to take over so I tried to take a bit of a step back this cycle and not tracked anything other than keeping an eye on my predicted ovulation date which was today... DTD every other day since period ended and yesterday and today just to cover and will continue every other day this week since I've not been tracking... also had my booster this month so not sure how that will affect as was still on the pill for my other two. It's nice to read others experiences esp as I have anxiety and starting to get downhearted that it's been 5 cycles with no results x

Quick update at my end: I have very little spotting today and I’m sure AF will start soon.
(Past few cycles started with spotting so I’m sure it’s AF and no hope for bfp in this cycle)

Sending baby dust to all of you and hope you all get the news you’re looking for. Fingers crossed!

Hi @Catmom21 how did you get on in the end? Did the witch arrive? :(

So I did a test 2 days ago and it had the tiniest faint line on it and I couldn't believe my eyes at what I was seeing... it was that faint that I thought no I'll wait as my AF pains and these twinges were coming and going and I'll be honest I had no idea what was going on inside... but Im Sad to report that AF arrived this morning and in true style it seems to be an extra painful one too! :(

I'll be using my clear blue digital advanced monitor this month and see how I get on with that. Hoping my window opens up between 11th-18th Jan.

@CSR721 Hi - how are you getting on? I find tracking everything is the best way to really be in tune with what's going on, but you'll also see from everyone and myself that it can become so obsessive too! It's so difficult and this 2ww is an absolute killer! I feel like I'm wishing my life away to get to that next cycle 😞 have you been ok since coming off the pill? I came off sept 2020 and I have to admit it was a bit odd for me at first and then it did settle into regular cycles again thankfully!

Anyone else now patiently waiting for AF to bugger off so we can restart the baby dancing? 🤞🏻💃🏼🕺🏼 or still on their 2ww? xx

Caved this morning and did a test even though only 7 dpo , so pretty much just pouring money into the toilet . Negative of course…

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for quite a few of you so far!

I’m now on CD28 but still don’t really have any signs of AF arriving just yet

I went back to work today so was able to take my mind off things a bit at least.

Good morning, I hope you don't mind me joining in, I'm currently in the 2ww around 5dpo I think, me and hubby are currently trying for #3 so he's had mixed emotions over the last few months one minute wanting to try the next not but this month he's finally decided again its the right time to start trying. We did a few times when I think I was ovulating and my cycle is normally 28 days, I just hate this waiting game and hope this is the month before he changes his mind yet again fingers crossed for everyone

Girls I think I have line eyes 👀 🙈 I'm 10dpo and done a test at 4am but the pink dye was still running and taking too long so I went back to bed lol. Been looking at this for about half an hour 😅 does anyone see what I see? I'll be testing tomorrow anyway so if you don't see it that's fine. Clutching at straws atm haha!

@Lozzza90

I'm doing ok! Still counting down the days til AF 😂😂 I'm trying to track more loosely logging AF and dtd every other day from end of AF until after predicted O rather than bbt and lhs all the time as it was getting a bit much. I've mostly been alright. I came off in August 21, had a short withdrawal bleed soon after and then a short AF a couple of weeks later. The first month I didn't ovulate and then the month after that I ovulated really late and only had like a 7 day luteal phase so was panicking a bit but the last few months seems to have sorted itself out with an 11 day luteal phase. That's why I'm scaling back the tracking now as I feel I'm a lot more regular. Only thing is my periods now are a lot lighter and shorter than before I went on the pill. Whether that's because I'm 10 years older or whether my hormones are permanently messed up I'm not sure x how long did it take your body to regulate? X

How is everyone getting on? I caved and tested this morning at 8dpo 🤦🏻‍♀️ obviously bfn. Only tested as my boobs are ridiculously achy today 😂 never mind.. Will try and hold off til AF on Thursday but realistically will probably end up testing again on Tues 😂

Mine was hurting to 10dpo but one day it hurts less or nothing at all so not sure if it's period
