2dpo - any TWW companions?

[vix_85]

Lost track of which cycle we're on now but almost 2 years trying, with 4MC. Hoping one of these days we'll get our bfp and it'll stick. Sending baby dust to all our there on their TWW x

@vix_85 I’m 15 months TTC (probs longer if I admit) but was on and off before our wedding now consistently TTC since Dec 2021

So I feel you sister 💕 I’m actually 6DPO but happy to keep you company on this awfully long two week wait

Hi @lottieb92. Sorry to hear you've also had a challenging and frustrating time TTC. People who say 'it was an accident'... I personally think it's impossible when others like us are actively trying for so long. Based on BBT my ovulation has now gone to Saturday so now it seems I may be 4dpo.

This wait is the worst so super grateful for the company and here to keep you company too.

Are you tracking on any app?x

Hi @vix_85 and @lottieb92 i hope you don’t mind me adding in - I’m such a novice to all of this abbreviated chat…but also been trying for over a year for number 1. Hubby and I work away and diff times a lot which makes things hard to…cordinate…🤣…Diagnosed with PCOS with irregular cycle lengths and diff ovulation days in cycle. According to natural cycles I’m 6DPO and my graph has gone a little funky vs prev ones as I’m usually so up and down (I use Oura ring with Natural Cycles - as I was rubbish with taking a temp manually) and this is the first cycle I’ve had a little twinge of hope…rightly or wrongly…

@vix_85 i don’t BBT but I think I might after this thread, remembering in the morning is my issue!!!

i get really low when I see spontaneous posts now and friends of mine are pregnant with 2nd babies before we even get across the first hurdle. So that’s isolating but I remain hopeful…

4dpo is good are you an early tester? Or are you sensible hahah I am usually strong for a whilst then crack 9DPO!! But I am on the fence this time, I might hold off until 11DPO if I possibly can.

I am on PreMom and use the OPK and also on Flo (don’t love flo).

I only just had a scan that saw poly cystic ovaries - but they didn’t really give full diagnosis. I have regular (albeit long) periods and get all the ovulation symptoms. I have been told to lose 7lbs to trick hormones, I’m half way there …
but I am trying InfolicAlpha supplement to improve eggs as recommended by the Gynaecologist and it’s my first cycle using! So fingers crossed for some success there!

@Charl8888 hey lovely, I have no experience in BBT but from what I have read, I’d be hopeful too… up is the direction you want to go!
I have also been considering PCOS as my reason for struggles seeing as I have been told my ovaries are polycystic. It was a ten min max chat and I was pushed out with a leaflet so I’m not sure that counts as a true diagnosis. But I’ll go with it and certainly hopeful that my diet changes, 5% loss and my new inositol supplement will help! ✨🤍

you will certainly bring me hope if this is your cycle! Fingers crossed for you x

@Charl8888 great to have you on the chat too 🤗 your graph is looking good in that direction so I have everything crossed for you! Very kealius of your aura ring. I really want one but just got my natural cycles Thermometer for now.

I use natural cycles, premom and the Fertility Friend apps and track BBT, LH, cervical mucus, and more recently cervix position as that seems to be a give away of AF coming, around 9-10dpo (firm like a nose and lower isn't preferable; squidy like lips and nice and high is what you're after apparently!

It's a bit of an obsessive sport all the tracking but I've never felt so in tune with my body. I just wish it would do what I'd like it to!

Seeing friends, connections and celebs all get pregnant and having multiple kids has started to get to me more recently despite my genuine joy for them. So social media has been disabled for the last 3 weeks and I have loved it!

Given that the 3 of have been trying some time for baby#1, any tips for keeping the 'spontaneity' alive? The last window started to feel a bit robotic by day 5🤣

@llottieb92 I am an early tester. Its crazy but earliest positive I've had was 9dpo on a clearblue 6 days early, so I may try then on a first response or stick to send myself crazy 🤪

@vix_85 im also on a detox from social! And night 1/2 I was twirling my thumbs. But now… I have so much time haha! I’ve been planning new meals, recipes and watching some new documentaries 🤣 at least it’s better than being depressed at the announcements.

I think Friday/ Saturday will hit me and I’ll crack and test. I’ll be 9/10DPO… we shall see.
Not one symptom or twinge … nada! So here we go ✨🤞🏻

@lolottieb92 I am keeping everything crossed for you and hope the next few days go quickly!

Hi I’m gonna come join! My OPKS are all over the shop this month and I am so confused. Going to DTD again tonight as I’m so lost on if I eve ovulated like it said I did on cd 13. If I did then right now I’d be 5dpo and no idea why LH would be rising. Maybe I don’t test correctly.

@Tophy124 it can be up and down - but it looks like it covered you and found a peak! Don’t worry too much… easier said than done I know! i stop testing usually 3 dpo as soon as I see it drop dramatically and settle in for the TWW, but would be interesting to know if I did the same!

I certainly see that pattern leading up to ovulation and get cross it’s low only for it to jump right up again!

@vix_85 I was using the thermometer and if either forget whilst lay in bed or would annoy my husband with the beaping. So I bought a second hand Oura ring off eBay for £75 and it’s been a breath of fresh air - I just wear it for bed and no thermometer required! I’m now on my 4th cycle with it.
I can relate to the pain, two of my younger male cousins have just announced pregnancies and a close friend…and I get the “it’ll be your turn soon” 😩
feeling disheartened today as my BBT has dropped 3rd day in a row, still above cover line but has dropped…holding off for testing in hope that it’s not over before it began! How are you holding out? Feeling ok?

Hello @Tophy124, great to have you in the thread for the dreaded TWW! There is some information online which suggests some LH tests are sensitive to other hormones. I am continuing to test mine as they've come right back down to almost 0 from peak.

I hope it means good news for you this month!!x

@Charl8888 don't lose hope as temperatures can be impacted by so much, but also they expect see a few dips around implantation and that is anytime from 6dpo, so you never know!

I'm doing ok, just wishing the days away. I hope you're ok. Are you going to hold out to test, or do you think you'll be tempted this weekend?x

Thank you @vix_85 ! I do have a friend who kept testing positive and it was because she was pregnant! My LH is low today and so hopefully I didn’t miss O and something stuck this month! TWW is dragging! Where are you at? I’m 6dpo if I ovulated on the 12th but I suspect I’m actually more like 2dpo so going to try and wait till AF!

I am 8Dpo and currently want to cave and test tomorrow morning with internet cheapie.
Easing myself in after many many months of negatives.
first month on new PCOS supplements so praying for a miracle as the reviews gave it hahah

but still hope March/April or May are the months I get my BFP

@Tophy124 I'm 4-5 dpo between the few apps I have... its always so long to wait!

@lottieb92 best of luck for tomorrow morning 🙏🤞 sending lots of baby dust your way x

Thanks sweetie @vix_85
just want to go to bed so I can wake up and get on with it 🤪

I think I’ll continue until 11DPO testing then I’ll be waiting happily until predicted period on the 15th.

Eagerly sat here wondering if @lottieb92tested or not 🫣 my temp rose back up again today…am I wishful thinking here for those that track BBT?

@Charl8888 I did indeed test, sorry then had a dog walk school run before I could update 😅

Unfortunately my 9DPO was as white as the snow. No second line. BFN.

I’m accepting of that, it’s early still time etc.
But going to try again tomorrow and maybe Sunday if I still feel I need too. I still have some cramps… constant need to pee. But I won’t get excited until I feel hot or tingling boobs because I got them badly with my son so maybe that’s the sign I need 🤍

@Charl8888 your BBT graph is looking really good; I'd say thats a nice luteal dip right there. Everything crossed!

@lottie 9dpo is still really early so don't lose hope x

@vix_85 im feeling good! Positive about everything for the first time in months, not sure if it’s because I have handle on diet and new supplements and just deep down I have a good vibe ☺️
I will still likely test tomorrow AM and of course continue until Monday. Then I’ll start planning next months attack!

I have done both worth out Due date if I get a positive and then also start planning a different method of baby dancing for shit and giggles 🤣

How is everyone?

I've had some odd twinges today 6-7dop and some mega mood swings. Almost tears, to irritable to happy. So frustrating the little signs are almost identical between pregnancy and PMT!

@vix_85 caved and tested, negative at 10DPO and my temp is sat at cover line for the 2nd day running, feeling very deflated. Almost wish it would have just dropped below to stop the niggly hopes in my mind!
how are you holding up?
