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.

@Shaker21 I went and bought some pink dye tests from home bargains there so cheap so got a load just to have in and couldn't resist but was negative,however I am only 9dpo I am due on next Wednesday. To be honest all the things I was feeling seems to have subsided. I feel like I do same exact cycle every month of checking for symptoms, coming online, test test test! I think from next month I'm going to make it a thing that I do not test until a missed period because I highly doubt that I am pregnant this cycle. I know I can't say that but that's how I feel. If not I'm sure I'll be back to tell you all I was proven wrong 😂
Any sign of AF yet?

@Amyhal13 Yeah I definitely think if you can try and hold of testing until missed AF it just saves the heartache of the negatives. No sign of AF for me yet, think if my thoughts are right then I may come on tomorrow so shall wait and see 😬

Hello all

hoping to see some BFPs on here for those still waiting for AF to show!!

im ok, AF ending here so gearing up for cycle 6! Feels like a strange marker cycle 6! Like it should happen by cycle 6 in my head! Decided to adopt @Shaker21 approach this month and not do any OPKs or anything! Take the pressure off and just dtd around three times a week spread out. I just think it will happen when it happens! We’ve said if it’s not happened by September I’ll head to the GP.

@Annapolis35 the fertilily is a fertility cup u insert after DTD to push the sperm
up there and then u leave it in for 30mins. Supposed to get them closer to the cervix. I just don’t really like shoving things up there 🤣 I don’t even like tampons for that reason! So have had it in the house for 2 cycles but not braved it! But feel I might have to this cycle! Really does make it all very clinical!

@ANP2020 That sounds quite terrifying haha, well I wish you luck with it!

@Shaker21 Has your AF still not arrived? Hope not!

still got another flashing smiley and going to cut my losses now this month! I’m on day 20 anyway of cycle so perhaps we may dtd today but then not think about ovulation for rest of the cycle and accept I have possibly had an anovulatory cycle. We dtd days 15, 17 and 18 and I would normally ovulate day 18. Unless it did happen and I missed the surge which is also possible.

Morning girls,

@ANP2020 Good to hear that you are going to try the chilled relaxed approach this month. It has definitely helped me and I will carry on with it this month also. I go to Spain tomorrow for a week and to Amsterdam for 4 days the week after that so should be due to ovulate the weekend we are back from Amsterdam so I am hoping I should be super relaxed and just go with it for the next few weeks again. I am also just about to go into cycle 6 so completely understand your thinking in your head that it should have happened by now. It is extremely hard the more it goes on.

@Annapolis35 AF hasn't shown yet but I did take a test this morning and it was stark white BFN so I am sure I am out which is frustrating, I did have a little cry this morning to my husband. So I am fully expecting AF to show up today as that would then mean I ovulated when I think I did so we shall see. Being off on holiday tomorrow is kind of easing the disappointment to be able to have other things to think about. On to cycle 6 and staying positive for this next one. I think by the sounds of it you have BD on all the right days and just keep doing that and go with it and see what happens. You could have missed the surge like you say.

@Shaker21 I am really sorry to hear about the negative, it is really upsetting to see when you think you might be. Going on two holidays though will help take your mind off it so try to relax and have a good time and enjoy not being pregnant - have a few drinks! Six cycles is quite hard going emotionally and sorry you’re going through it

Hi @Shaker21 I'm 14dpo today still testing negative due on in 2 days. I think I'm out this month.. but I'm sure Af will confirm in a few days. On to the next month I guess. If I don't get my bfp in the next 2 month I'm going to get in touch with my gp for some advice as we have been trying for 10 month currently. How are you getting on?

@Amyhal13 Hi. Ahh that's a shame it is still BFN at the moment. Not out until AF shows. I normally start AF 12 DPO, I thought I knew when I ovulated this month but according to that I started AF 14DPO so had got my hopes up a bit until I got BFN and then started AF. I am now on CD 2 of cycle 6. I am assuming I may have ovulated later than I thought by 2 days but either way on to the next which is a shame. I think going to the GP in 2 cycles time is a good idea if still nothing for you. X

Well AF arrived this afternoon so on to the next one I guess. I'll be back when I'm in my 11th 2ww lol 🙈

How are you all faring? I have no idea where I am in terms of dpo but I expect AF to arrive over the weekend or next week. I just got a positive Covid test though so no idea if that affects things

Hello

@Annapolis35 sorry to hear about the positive covid! How r u feeling?

im just entering my fertile window according to my app! I haven’t done any OPKs and have none in the house! I’m feeling a bit cba this month! It’s hard to keep pushing through all the negatives isn’t it! X

Hey @ANP2020 i am feeling pretty ropey and my whole family has caught it. Just taking a few days off to rest though.

Ahhh maybe take a month off to give yourself a break from thinking about it? Just a bit of headspace and time to properly relax without having that at the back of your mind. I think my period is about to arrive any minute now but I’m not upset this month about it as my cycles are still a bit odd. Might not bother doing opk’s either next month and just have a bit of a break from it all, we should be moving house next month anyway and that’s a lot to think about on its own x

Hey ladies! Just a little check in to see how we all are and where we’re at?

im cycle day 14 usually ov about cd16 but not tracking this month! We actually only started dtd last night as a family member has become quite unwell so it’s been visits back and forth to the hospital.

I have braved the ferti lily cup! It’s been ok once I got over the initial fear of using it! I’m still not sure I’m getting it in far enough, it’s a bit messy. There’s deffo “stuff” in there when I take it out so it’s pushing it in the right direction!

TMI but do u guys get a lot of leakage after dtd? I don’t remember it with my first but I’m wondering if things have changed down there since having ds1. I seem to get some head up towards my bum cheeks 🫣. I tried googling if this was normal but then decided I’d just ask you guys!!

hope everyone’s well. I’m at the hopeful stage of my cycle where there’s every chance it could be my month so always enjoy this part!

@Annapolis35 hope the covid symptoms have eased off a bit

@ANP2020 I do get a bit of leakage but I thought that was just normal as some sperm get confused and go the wrong way! My AF is due today and it’s definitely on its way. My heart rate on Fitbit always starts dropping a couple of days before it’s coming so I’m fully expecting it to arrive and just want it to now to start afresh. Finally recovered from Covid too! I’m gonna have a break next month as we are moving so it’s too much too think about while trying to pack up and arrange everything. glad you’re in the hopeful part of the cycle and you are positive!

@Annapolis35 that makes me feel so much better! I initially thought it was normal just not spoken about! But then started to convince myself that it wasn’t normal and maybe that’s the reason it’s not been happening!

sorry to hear AF on the way! A break sounds good! I toyed with the idea this month but then carried on as decided to give myself till September before going to Drs. I think it’ll help as it’ll give you another cycle to regulate! Plus moving house is far too stressful without the added stress of timed sex!! Good luck with the move and keep checking in x

Hi guys I hope you don't mind me jumping back on.. I've been absent since March as I just haven't ov'd since then and didn't see the point posting when I had nothing to post about.

So I'm CD 90 today 😬 and I had some watery cm yesterday and what I think was ewcm but I did a opk this morning and it wasn't that dark so going to do another iab and one tomorrow to see what's going on

Hi everyone!

Sorry I have been a bit MIA past few weeks. I have only just come back to work today after being in Spain week before last and then Amsterdam last week. Feel majorly relaxed and was so needed being able to have some time away and was nice just not thinking about ttc for a while. I am currently CD16 and last month I am thinking I ovulated CD 17-19 but not sure when exactly with not tracking. So again not tracking this month expecting ovulation to happen any time now or over next couple of days so just dtd every day/every couple when ever we kind of feel like it. I have noticed myself being extremely more in the mood and up for dtd than I normally would be so thinking that is a good sign it is coming up.

How is everyone else getting on?

@ANP2020 How are you getting on with the relaxed approach? Did you not do any OPKs at all? Any ideas when you think you might have ovulated and how many DPO you are now? I do also get leakage after dtd which I was worrying about but I have also googled and it does say it is normal and not much of that leakage is actually much sperm so trying not to think too much into it.

@Amyhal13 How are you doing? Did AF arrive? What CD are you on now?

@Annapolis35 How is moving going? Did you decide also not to track too much this month? Where are you at at the moment with your cycle?

@2019Mama How are you getting on with your long cycle? Has AF arrived yet? Or any sign of ovulation?

Hi @Shaker21 sounds like you had a good break and was well needed. It’s good that you’re not tracking again this month, sounds like a nice way to relax.

I’m moving on Sunday the 10th so we are just packing and stuff now so will be busy for the next two weeks. I’m on day 6 of my cycle and would normally ovulate around day 17 or 18, but last month was much later as my AF was late by a few days and think possibly day 20. I’m not gonna track this month and not think about TTC as we’ve got a bit too much on our plate, will probably dtd whenever we feel like it, and also let my cycle regulate too. I can’t deal with the emotional aspects of TTC as well as packing up a house! I also think ovulation might fall the day of or the day before we move.

Hello @Shaker21 that sounds just lovely! Bet it was hot in Spain!! It’s really good your really relaxed hopefully that will help when ttc this month!

so what a few weeks I’ve had! Yes we’ve been totally relaxed I haven’t OPK at all! My ovulation varies every month last month it was cd 16 so I was basing it on that! But my nans been really ill and taken into hospital so we’ve been visiting her daily so we only managed to dtd on cd 13, 14 and 16!

BUT then CD 17- 18 I started to get loads of ewcm so said to Oh we need to dtd again on 18 think I’ve ovulated late! So we were all good to go and then I was at work and I fell over!!!! Ended up in A&E and I’ve torn all the ligaments in my foot! So low and behold we didn’t dtd any more! So I actually reckon I ovulated cd 19 and I’ve missed it completley!

so I’m probably about 3dpo but not counting as I think I’m not going to be successful this month! So I’ll just wait it out for AF!

@Annapolis35 moving is the most stressful thing ever! I totally agree with not having the stress of ttc as well! Are you moving far? The packing up the house is the worst bit! If we ever move again I’m getting house packers!!

@Annapolis35 I think its a good thing if you are busy to not think about it too much and just go with it and to have another month for your cycle to regulate as well. You never know it could be the month that it happens again with not thinking about it again.

@ANP2020 Oh god! Lol! How is your foot? You never know you may have caught it dtd on CD16, fingers crossed for you!

So I thought I was due to ovulate the next few days but I took my temperature this morning and it was high so by the looks of it have ovulated already and I have no idea when! 😐I am CD17 today and we dtd on CD 10, 12, 14 and 15 so have got it covered if we ovulated yesterday or CD15 atleast! So I am going to go that I am 1/2DPO today unless I ovulated really early but shall have to wait and see if AF arrives and can work it out from there. So I am thinking AF will be due 8th/9th/10th so next weekend. Let the TWW begin!

@Shaker21 thats good you’ve got it covered! At least! Are you going to be good and not test early or will you be tempted? Oh the tww!!

my foot is ok a bit painful but getting a bit better each day! Ahh maybe there’s a small chance I suppose! I’m a bit meh about it! This was cycle 6 and it was some sort of marker in my head for me I think! I just didn’t want to be here 6 months down the line not pregnant! I’m giving myself till September then I’m heading to the drs x

@ANP2020 I am going to try and not think about it and just get on with life and keep busy and just wait and see. If AF hasn't come by maybe the Monday morning after next weekend then I will test.

When is AF due for you? Will you test at all or wait it out? I am exactly the same as you, I am cycle 6 and never thought I would be still trying 6 months on from starting and had said the same to my OH that I would speak to the doctors in September if it still hasn't happened. Fingers crossed it has happened by then for us all. x

@Shaker21 Hey, so I got a peak opk on Sat, so I am 1dpo and in the 2ww.
Already symptom spotting, its going to be a long 2 weeks 😬

@ANP2020 oh no so sorry about your foot!! What a pain. We are moving from Northumberland to Perthshire so a little way but have family up in Scotland so moving nearer to them. Just selling our place and moving into rental to give us some time to decide where is best. Our buyer is a bit of an idiot though and trying to change terms of the offer. Paying for men to pack would be a dream! We are doing it ourselves but started early so should be ok, looking forward to just be in and able to relax though
