2WW

[ANP2020]

Hello ladies!

I’ve been reading these threads (at all hours clearly!) I just wondered if anyone was currently in their 2WW and wanted to join me? It’s so long!! I’m ttc number 2, have a 4 year old son, fell first time with him luckily so certainly not expecting the same this time round. This is our first cycle. I’m only using an app not any ovulation sticks so not sure how many days po I am, but According to app fertile window ended yesterday. AF due 21st I only have 24/25 day cycles since coming off my pill.

Anywhoo no symptoms yet as too early! I’ve had ovulation cramps and a few nights of very intense dreams. I think the only symptoms I can remember pre bfp with my son was really really sore boobs, couldn’t bare a bra on!! And really tired.

Please people join me to symptom spot and keep each other company during the 2WW.

How is everyone? I’m just plodding through the 2WW but trying not to Over symptom spot but of course can’t help it!! I’ve had tiredness to an extreme level for the past 2 days!! I had to nap yesterday and today I’ve felt like I could just doze off!!! Also some nausea! I’m not 100% when AF due as my cycles keep changing cut cycle day 26 today, not sure how many dpo maybe about 8! Anywhooo sure I had a vvvvfl on a test today but I’m talking myself out of it as it’s just so early but can’t deny it’s got my hopes up!!

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing how r u? Did your AF show? Did u get your blood tests?

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing i don’t think your been over the top at all!! That’s probably the ideal!! When I get the peak I’d ideally like to do it day of and 2 days after we never manage to though as we’re so knackered!

so AF arrived yesterday in full force and I’m gutted! I spent all day moping yesterday didn’t really speak to anyone I just cant understand why it’s not happening! We really relaxed last month but dtd loads so was feeling so hopeful!

i ovulated on CD 19 and af arrived on CD 28 so not a long luteal phase again! I need to ovulate a few days earlier so I’ve started taking Soy Isoflavones yesterday to see if they can help me ovulate earlier. Think I’ve taken it really hard as that was the first hint of a line I’ve had! I’m just surrounded by more and more pregnancy announcements and I’m so happy for them but so sad for myself.

im going to try temping this month properly, did it 1/2 heartedly the other month so going to try properly this month and opks to see if I ovulate earlier on the soy. I really hope I do 🤞🤞 good luck in your 2WW keep me updated x

It really was the worst month I’ve had for moping and feeling crap! I really felt like I didn’t want to talk to anyone all day! The worst thing is we still have to go to work etc so I get a bfn or AF then have to just head straight out! No time to process it at all! im glad other people feel the same!

it’s really hard to not get your hopes up isn’t it!! U just want it so bad u can’t stop thinking about it even when u try!!!

awww I’m sorry that’s so frustrating that you had a cp and then nothing more! And you’ve had that feeling of seeing the positive! I wish there was an easier way to see inside what’s going on!! I was sure my test was a faint bfp this month! I’m not doing it to myself next month I can’t look at another negative I’m just going to wait for AF!

🤞🤞 for your results to shed some light! R u in ur 2WW now x

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing i know! It’s gone so quiet on here! Let’s keep checking in every so often?

hope the 2WW going ok? How r you distracting yourself! AF finished today so I’ll be back to poas! I’ve ordered cheapie opks this time instead of the CB. Which do u use? Do you know the cheapies for you see on them am an pm?

Thankyou!! Fingers crossed for both of us!! I really hope it’s our month! I’ve had another friend announce a pregnancy today! Really am surrounded by bumps at the moment!

Hi ladies

sorry to hear you’re feeling down in the dumps. I’m in the 2ww again after my mmc and first time I’m starting to feel normal again mentally. We didn’t really dtd much and think I’m around 3 or 4 dpo but didn’t track this month as my head was not in the right place. I didn’t really have a normal period last month, just one day really of bleeding and a bit of spotting so I am not entirely sure what’s going on with my body. I’m not hugely hopeful this month as we thought we would wait anyway until I have a normal AF, but I’m obviously still counting down the days until I know! I hope you are all okay.

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing Ha ha symptom spotting is just too tempting. I am not sure when I ovulated, I had ewcm on Tuesday and Wednesday and we only dtd on Thursday so I am guessing I am either 4 or 5dpo. Not got a huge shot this month but we will see! Had some spotting on Sunday which was pretty weird but my body has not been right since the mc. Fingers crossed for us all - this journey is quite painful.

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing what dpo are you? Never out until af arrives. I don’t keep tests at home for that reason! I feel quite normal with nothing unremarkable going on. I’m tired but that is not unusual!

Hey ladies thought I’d jump on here! What DPO are you? I’m only 1DPO!

not very confident we managed to time DTD very well this month but will see what happens! In a way I feel less stressed because I would actually be quite surprised if we got it right hahahaha!

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing i think I can see something in the first picture, a shadow of a line maybe.

@Hjudge56 hello and welcome! I am the same, no tracking so not sure if we timed it correctly but fingers crossed. I think I’m dpo 4 or 5 - not sure but still early days. I have a short luteal phase, about 12 days so I will start getting AF symptoms soon if on its way.

Hello @Annapolis35 ! Well hopefully you have danced on the right days! You will know soon.. fingers are firmly crossed for you!

I ovulated on Sunday and DTD Tuesday night, Wednesday night and Friday night so I think we were too early to catch the egg!

Morning everyone!

Hope you don't mind me jumping on the thread...I am currently at the beginning of cycle 5 ttc. I am currently on CD 6. I came off the mini pill in November and had a long 55 day cycle my first but have been lucky enough that every cycle after that has been 25-29 days.

I started first few months using Easy@Home OPKS and have managed to get peaks every month, last 3 cycles I also added in taking temperature first thing in the morning which has been useful to confirm ovulation. Have luckily managed to not get too obsessed with taking pregnancy tests before AF arrives, have done the odd ones few days before and got BFN so just gave up testing to not have the disheartening feeling of a BFN.

My husband has recently done an at home sperm test which came back normal and I have got a private pelvic scanned booked for this Sunday to check everything my side....mainly just for piece of mind as it is very easy to start thinking something is wrong as the months go by with no BFP yet...

I have been trying vitamins, pineapple core after ovulation, evening primrose tablets before ovulation, preseed, POM juice....think my husband just thinks I am crazy lol!

We are trying a very very relaxed cycle this month as I am planning on not tracking at all...I roughly know when ovulation should be so just going to go with the baby dancing every other day and not knowing what DPO I am on and just wait for AF....whether that happens or not is another matter! 😬

How is everyone doing at the moment?

Hello @Annapolis35 so sorry about your mc, glad your feeling okish and back up for the ttc journey! It’s so tough and cruel isn’t it! How are u feeling, even though you didn’t dtd much it only takes the once!

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing Dont worry! It’s those tests isnt it they call out your name haha I know the feeling! However I think I can maybe see a vvvfl on the pic with the colour in!!

@Shaker21 hello and welcome! We sound very similar I am too at the beginning of cycle 5 CD 8 today!! I’m rattling with vitamins haha! I fell with my first first time so this has been a long 5 months!

unfortunatley I haven’t been able to remain as calm as u and I have been an obsessive tester! Only to see BFN day after day! Was caught by a nasty evap last cycle that looked like a faint bfp only for AF to arrive the next day! So one thing is for sure I’m not testing early this month!!

so today ladies I’ve been and bought some preseed and I have purchased last month a fertilily but I haven’t braved using yet! I also have bought some cinnamon tablets from Holland and barret after reading about their benefits on fertility! So that’s what I’m doing new hahah! I’m also trying temping but that does blow my mind! It’s all over the place! X

@ANP2020 i am also rattling with vitamins haha! I’m ok, found the mc one of the hardest things I’ve gone through so it’s taken a while to feel better (had the procedure on March 29th and just this week feeling better mentally!). It’s a lot to go through to being pregnant and having your body change then suddenly not being pregnant, combined with all the hormonal changes. We went on holiday to recover and that helped a lot. But onwards and upwards and really glad to be through the worst of it and just got to be hopeful for the future and that everything going forward will be well. Fingers crossed for all of us. Cinnamon tablets! That’s a new one, I didn’t know they helped fertility.

@Annapolis35 i can’t even begin to imagine! I’m so sorry! I’m glad you could get away for a bit and have some headspace to try and process things together!

one yeah 🤣 I try anything I want it so badly!! So I was reading on some forum somewhere someone fertility doctor had suggested it and she became pregnant! I read into it and seems to be some evidence behind it! It helps boost libido and also helps with insulin resistance so useful in PCOS! Also helps with weight management and I could do with shedding a few pounds 🤣 have a google!

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing everything crossed for you! Let us know if you test this morning.
