Anyone else starting 2WW today?

[LittleMrsMama]

So the 2WW begins! I know there are a few threads on here but wanted to start one with people that ovulated around the same time so hopefully we'll be getting some BFPs together!

@AmberRH1993 ahh cycle buddies! Fingers crossed for BFPs for both of us!

@RMS0209 - yes let's stay strong together! Although can't say I'm the best cycle buddy as last cycle I tested way too much

Welcome everyone!
I don't drink caffeine or much alcohol anyway, but I hadn't even considered stopping exercising was a thing...
Is it a thing?

Coming up to one week now into two 2WW and hoping next week will go quicker.

We lost one of our pets this week, he was PTS, and I could really do with some good news.

@LittleMrsMama we can try persuade each other not to rest too early so we aren't disappointed! (I say this now... hopefully next week goes quicker than this)

@pinkpirlie I am so sorry to hear about your pet being PTS, hope you are ok x

@MrsSamRowley I also seem to be exactly same as you. TTC #2 on the first cycle and AF due on 26th. I have an average cycle length of 31 days so hopefully this doesn't play tricks on my mind when I think I'm due

3 DPO and Used OPKs and had my peak on Monday. We followed the SMEP method so there was a lot of DTD. Poor DH!

Gosh it's so hard to remain relaxed! I feel like I was exactly when we were TTC #1, wondering how long and when it would happen! DS took around 7 proper cycles by the time I was in tune with tracking etc due to random cycle days

Who's going to test early

@pinkpirlie sorry I should have clarified that about the exercise during TWW. Absolutely no need to stop! Just me being paranoid 🤣
I run competitively, so I do a lot of exercise each week between running and gymming! I have culled it the last few months which clearly hasn't helped me at all in TTC 🥴 And doctor said continue on as normal, so I'm going back to doing just that!

I tried to keep my mind off things but my pregnant friend came over today and I'm so desperate for my BFP! Good job it's way too early to test otherwise I would have been tempted. Hope you're all having a good weekend! Anyone who has gotten through a few cycles have any tips on taking your mind off it? Although probably coming on Mumsnet everyday isn't helpful but always nice to hear others feeling the samek

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️
I ovulated overnight on 11th/early morning 12th, so 4-5dpo today.
Cycle #7 to conceive #2... Cycle is between 31 and 38 days, so AF is due anytime from 24-30th 🤦🏻‍♀️ and I'm away for work then, joy!

@ali2021 thanks for the clarification

How's everyone doing as the weekend draws nearer?
I'm convinced I'm getting PMS symptoms so I'm thinking I'm out.
I've been feeling quite queasy, sore boobs, mardy, etc. All my usual symptoms leading up to AF arriving.

4dpo today and nothing to write home about apart from increased lotion cm yesterday which was new for me but still super early so not looking too much into it. AF due on 28th so still time yet.

@pinkpirlie how many DPO are you ? I've been feeling like this with the pre AF symptoms but since I had DD I wasn't getting cramps before AF so this cycle I'm confused why I am. Also got thrush so maybe that's why I'm feeling extra crap!

Only 7 DPO I think so the waiting is killing me!

@Coastaldreamer
I'm not sure exactly as I don't track ovulation.
I had EWCM last Saturday night so I would guess I'm around 8-9 DPO.
I'm on CD 25 and have 29/30 day cycles most months.
The queasy feeling isn't abating. But I'm also a bit poorly with a cold, so I'm not sure how much my crap feeling is hormones and how much is the cold.

Well I'm out, AF has arrived now. Early.
I've had a few months where I've come on at 25 days recently after years of consistently being 30 days. Perhaps it is my age, I'm almost 39.

I'm so sorry @pinkpirlie :( I assume it's definitely AF rather than implantation bleeding? The TWW is so tough and then really disappointing to have AF at the end of it.

I'm 7 or 8 DPO today depending on the app so still a while to go. When is everyone thinking of testing? I'm thinking of maybe trying at the weekend but I've seen another thread where OP didn't get a proper BFP until around 14 DPO

@LittleMrsMama Thank you for your words.

I'm pretty sure it is AF.
It is only spotting at the moment, but I am bloated like a giant balloon, grouchy, queasy, stomach cramps, etc. Which is exactly how I feel right before AF arrives.
I have really short periods: 36 hours of very light spotting (so light I don't need any products), then c. 36 hours of bleeding then it's over. 3 days and I'm done. I always hope AF arrives late evening/over night so I only have two suffer one daytime feeling like I'm going to die.
It may be short, but not sweet as the PMS is hideous.

But I have now booked to have my fertility bloods, etc. done this Friday as I was told some needed to be done days 2 to 5.

So sorry to hear that @pinkpirlie I hope the fertility bloods go well

How's everyone doing? I found this photo really helpful :)

Sorry @pinkpirlie

Hope the day 2-5 bloods go ok. Hopefully provides some clarity for you x

@LittleMrsMama

So sorry to hear that *@pinkpirlie* I hope the fertility bloods go well

How's everyone doing? I found this photo really helpful :)

Good photo! Need to give all this a try to take my mind of TWW..

I'm thinking I might test on Saturday at 10dpo but know it's still too early to test really!

I caved today and did a cheepie (9DPO), negative of course! I've been tracking my temperature and saw a 1 day tip that could be an implantation dip. Going to try and hold off until the weekend now. Anyone else as weak as me during the 2WW?

@LittleMrsMama yep me! Tested this morning at 8dpo...BFN! Why am I like this??

Hey and me too , if I may join the thread , tested today at 8dpo and BFN for me too . I know how early it is but can’t wait 😅🤷🏼‍♀️ Better wait till Saturday 👍🏼 I will try tho 😂
Good luck ladies

Me too 😂 7dpo with cramping and painful nips but I'm sure I can see something beginning...

What do you think... Have I finally lost the plot 😂

@AmberRH1993
