2WW.... anyone else??

[tryingforbaba]

Gaaaahhhh fighting the urge to spend ALLLLL my money on pregnancy tests hahah....

My 2 week wait starts tomorrow. We've DTD twice throughout this ovulation period.

Who's with me in this boat?

What is EWCM?

@Happytimes123456 egg white cervical mucus. It’s basically really sticky, clear discharge that’s your body’s sign that you’re due to ovulate. Have a google!

Anyone elses partner get really funny about "trying"?

We agreed to start "leaving it in" from January but today when I mentioned that "I'm hoping I'll be pregnant in March" he was like "that's a lot of pressure"

Also I feel like whenever I try to get frisky, he's like "is it cos you're ovulating"

Ughh. Anyone else ?

@tryingforbaba i got so upset this time. He complains I don't want it enough for the rest of the month and then when I'm ovulating he couldn't perform. I shouldn't have got mad but I just wanted it so much after losing my mum last month

@tryingforbaba

My partner gets like this too, it's very frustrating isn't it. I don't talk about anything ttc related with him, nothing about ovulation, or hoping to be pregnant this month etc because he gets funny about me only wanting sex to make a baby. It doesn't help that our daughter was a surprise baby so he just thinks that will happen again.

I try to make sure I'm initiating sex at other times of the month, randomly midweek etc to not make it obvious.

Also find keeping the sex naughty helps.

So reassuring to hear that your partners are the same.

Thing is I genuinely am only horny around ovulation anyway! 🤷🏻‍♀️

But yes I agree best to not even mention tracking etc to them and just focus on being sexy as fuck instead 😂😂😂

We can all secretly geek out on Flo apps and trackers and ovulation sticks together on here hahahahah

@tryingforbaba I'm only ever horny around ovulation too!

Lying back and thinking of England the rest of the month 😂😂

Hi all!! Also in the 2WW so joining my fellow ladies in the same boat! I am currently 5 days DPO!

AF is due on 16th so still a good couple of days away from doing a test!

This will be our proper first month of TTC.

Symptoms currently are tender boobs, bloating, mild cramping and weird hot flushes in my face and chest and lower back pain!! No nausea or spotting yet!

Fingers crossed for us all X

@HolyMoly24 hahaha that made me lol

@DearDarcy eeeeek fingers crossed for you.

I'm 1 day PO and already bloody convincing myself I've got symptoms ... bloated (but could be the body weights worth of Xmas chocolate I ate last night)

This journey makes us crazy I'm sure of it. So glad I've got you guys to share this with x

Hey,

Cycle 2 of ttc baby1. Think I'm 8/9dpo but unsure as relying on apps rather than tests. Have used clue to track my cycles for 10 years so think it's relatively accurate for me.

The tww is just a drag, swear it goes by so slowly!

I'm not feeling particularly positive for this cycle as I was last time and it didn't happen.

What day are you all going to test? Or will you wait for a missed af?

That's my current dilemma, only got some cheapie onestep strips which I don't think are that sensitive. 8dpo today, no real symptoms to report except maybe a bit of heartburn. I want to know but don't want to have to stare down a bfn! Period due 16th , what to do 🤔

@Teela86 yes exactly. Ideally, I guess you should wait a few more days rather than go on the emotional rollercoaster of an incorrect test reading.

You could go and get an early test tomorrow...? The ones that say you can do them a week before af is due

Hi all hoping I can join in too / looking for advice as this is only month 3 of “trying” and 2nd month tracking ovulation. I’m on day 15 and my tests haven’t read above 0.2…last month i saw a peak at day 13?! Finding it so hard not to over analyse everything…

@Remy87 welcome!! Yessss of course you can join xxx

Ahhh I know this feeling. I'm overanalysing EVERYthing as well 😩

@tryingforbaba Thank you! I’ve been reading this forum for a few weeks and think it’s do helpful!
do you think I haven’t ovulated? I’m v regular… wondering if this cycle is a write-off…

Tbh I've never used a temperature reader. I just go by Flo app and cervical mucus.

Perhaps you're just ovulating a couple days later this month. Just keep DTD as much as poss! X

im 3 dpo no symptoms at all though. 🤞

I'm 8 dpo tomorrow and might start testing on cheapies. I won't be disappointed if negative yet as I know realistically it's still very early

Where do you get your cheap tests from??

Chemist ones are so expensive x

4 or 5dpo for me, boobs usually hurt by now and are sore pretty much until AF, but so far nothing which seems weird…but everything seems weird when ttc

I’ve managed not to test the past couple of months so going to try do the same this month

I got mine on Amazon, 20 strip tests for £4, good reviews, then can confirm with more expensive ones. That's my plan anyway!

I've got the one step ones , basically look the same as an opk strip

So I’m still unsure if I ovulated! Anyone who temps who could give me their opinion?
I had a static ovulation stick on Saturday, so if I go just by that I potentially ovulated on Sunday or Monday (based on the 12-36 hrs later) so could say I’m in the TWW! Temp does not indicate ovulation 😩 so could be due to bf, or just that I didn’t 🤷‍♀️! So I’m going to assume I’m in the TWW and just keep temping and see what happens!

@Peonies94 is your temp above baseline still or below?
