Looking for TWW buddies....

Hey! I'm on my first month of TTC baby number 2!
I'm now approx 7dpo (I think!) And in the two week wait.
Anyone else?

Hey Ladies. How’s everyone getting on?

6dpo today. Had to take a wee break from these boards for my sanity. First month getting a clear positive opk since we started trying again and earlier than normal. Confirmed o with temping. I had the strangest urge to DTD on CD 11 next day I had a load of egg white CM and a positive opk so DTD that day and the day after too. So Confident we caught the right time butvthe rest is outwith my control now. Trying to keep a level head this month and just hoping and praying g it works. I'm absolutely desperate for an October baby (my fav time of year) would be nice as my DD is a summer baby. Hope everyone is well and baby dust to you all

Fingers crossed for you @Stilltobeseen don’t blame you for taking a break. Sometimes we all need it.
I’m in CD21 and still waiting for O. I ovulated on CD23 last month so hopefully any day now. I’m tracking with IC OPKs and clear blue to confirm. But my OPK’s have been high without a peak for 6 days now, and 6 days of flashing smiley faces. If we catch this cycle then due date would be around DS birthday.

@GemLou88

Everything crossed for you.

I hate those flashing little bastards when they go on for days!

Thanks @monsteramunch. Yes, definitely! How you getting on?

I'm doing OK, a chemical last cycle which I've found really difficult as we've been TTC#1 for a year now.

This month I've been tracking BBT on Premom - pics attached. First time I've been temping, before then I've just used OPKs timing wise.

On the OPK front I've been doing digitals as well as strips and below is where we are at currently. Today is CD15.

Hoping we can DTD today and ovulation happens tomorrow as then we've timed stuff well hopefully...

Thur CD 10 negative strip + digital

Fri CD 11 negative strip + digital + DTD

Sat CD 12 negative strip + flashing smiley digital.

Sun CD 13 negative strip + flashing smiley digital + DTD

Mon CD 14 negative strip + static smiley digital (am) then positive strip (pm) + DTD

Tue CD 15 positive strip (am) + (hopefully) DTD

Chemicals are such an emotional rollercoaster. I hope you’re doing ok. Got everything crossed for you @monsteramunch! sounds like you have timed dtd right. I don’t bbt, but will be starting next cycle. I’ve still not had a peak and my OPK’s seem to be getting lighter today, so I don’t think I’m going to ovulate this month. This is cycle 3 of ttc number 2 so I’ve not seen this happen. Ands it’s already frustrating that the last 2 cycles O has happened at cd23ish. Feel like I’m waiting forever for it then have the tww.

So I've been temping, confirmed O etc so not concerned about that. But does anyone else have super stable temps after o like this? I've never in my life had temps like this (any time I've been temping obviously). Don't know whether to be worried or not that it's not rising higher?

Sorry @Stilltobeseen i don’t temp yet so have no idea. Fingers crossed it means something positive

I’m still getting flashing smiley faces. But here’s a pic on my OPK this afternoon. Really hope it turns to peak soon. I’m losing patience!

I don't know what's worse, the wait to ovulate or the tww. Hope you get your peak soon @GemLou88

Tested again before going to bed last night and finally got a static smiley after over a week of flashing smiley faces! Heard lots about Maca root helping to regulate cycles so I’ve ordered some. Anyone else use maca root?

I used maca root while ttc my first and it totally messed up my cycle that month. Ovulated super later and cycle was really long. I have a pretty typical 27-30 day cycle so wasn't great for me personally. I have been drinking raspberry leaf tea from AF until O then eating pineapple (including core) from O until AF this month so we'll see how that goes 🤣🤣. Sometime I feel it's just about doing something that helps you feel like you have a little control when in reality you don't haha. Whatever keeps us sane eh?! @GemLou88

11dpo today and since 3am have been having bouts of diarrhea. I can't think of anything I've eaten and haven't knowingly been in contact with anyone who has a bug. I know I'm probably reaching but has anyone had this before their bfp? I occasionally, very occasionally get pre period poops but this is totally different. My boobs feel giant and sore, I leaked a bit yesterday but this has happened to me before on a BFN cycle so not holding much hope with regards to that. I'm crampy and feel so nauseous. I've been feeling nauseous since Friday. I'm too scared to take a test. I can't look at another BFN yet I just can't. Other things I have atm is lower back pain, loss of appetite and not started my pre period spotting yet. I'm due AF on Wednesday and would normally have started spotting by now. Couldn't temp this morning with my restless sleep, it wouldn't have been accurate so...yea wish it was Wednesday

Sorry @Stilltobeseen it’s not something I’ve had before a BFP, I hope someone else who experienced it comes along to give you some reassurance. All your other symptoms sound positive. I know what it’s like to not want to get your hopes up. Hope Wednesday comes around quickly for you and you get your sticky BFP

Hi All. How’s everyone getting on? I’m 7dpo and surprisingly the tww is going quickly. I’ve had some ovulation type pains today but no other symptoms.

Hi @GemLou88 so I think I might have had a chemical this month. I had a few suspect lines around 10/11dpo that never got darker and appeared after the alloted time so didn't take them seriously anyway. Got AF two days late and it's been a pretty heavy one this month. I was really sad the day AF arrived as I was soooo convinced this was our month. I've also never had this happen to me. When we were ttc no1 it took 7 months but I really never had a whiff of pregnancy until I was actually pregnant. This time feels different, don't know if it's because I know what being pregnant feels like? Strange. Either way I hope if it was a chemical it wasn't a sign of something being wrong in my body. I am never, ever testing until I'm late ever again because that really sucked

Hey @Stilltobeseen so sorry to hear that. Maybe it was a late implantation that caused it and that’s why AF was late too. Does mess with your head though. I had a chemical the cycle after a MMC and it’s disheartening. Unfortunately it’s been so common lately. I really feel for everyone that has one. I get what you mean about knowing what being pregnant feels like so gets your hopes up. Hope you’re doing ok

Hi everyone! Sorry for the radio silence - was taking my usual post TWW break (I feel like I'd go bonkers thinking about it all month) and then just had a v busy few days.

How are you all? Sorry to those of you who think you may have had a chemical - really hope your luck turns around soon 💕

I'm now well into my two week wait with my period due in a couple of days. Trying not to symptom spot too much... feel ok, just v tired. Would be surprised if I am pregnant this cycle as my husband had a stinking cold throughout my fertile window so we only managed it once, however it was on a day when I had lots of EWCM, so it's possible 🤞

Hi ladies- I got my BFP today at 13dpo! I can’t believe it! Hope you’re all doing well x

Woohoo @Bee1994 massive congrats! It's such a surreal feeling isn't it?!

Congratulations @Bee1994 !!

@Bee1994 congratulations! Bet you are over the moon! Wishing you all the best for a healthy and comfortable pregnancy 🤰

@GemLou88 how you getting on?

I'm due AF tomorrow and started spotting at lunch time, so think I'm gonna be out again 😩🙈

@peaky297 hey! Not too bad, I’m 10dpo today and bfn this morning. Mild cramps today and boobs feel a tad sensitive. CM was creamy now a bit like egg whites again. I have no idea what’s going on 😂 have you tested or waiting for AF?

@GemLou88 business end of the month for you too then - keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Will you test again tomorrow or wait to see if AF turns up?

Waiting for AF as between spending loads and having a chemical I'd rather have not known about, I'm learning that it suits me better to try and be more patient. I've started v light spotting at lunch time - possible that it's implantation bleeding, but I didn't have it with my first and it seems a little late for that (I estimate that im about 10/11 dpo) so trying not to hang too much hope on it and fully expect for AF to kick in fully over the next 24 hrs x

@peaky297 yes and probably onto the next cycle. I’m not holding out much hope. Think I’ll wait until AF is due if I can. Like you it’s getting so expensive to keep buying tests. I’ve started BBT this month but wasn’t from CD1, so might give that a try next cycle. Could still be implantation for you. Do you normally have spotting before AF?
