2ww

Who else is on their 2ww? I am 2dpo today for my 2nd cycle of TTC2. Strange as it sounds I feel like I am out this month even though it is too soon to tell. I had a metallic taste a few days after ovulation when I conceived my daughter so I feel like I am looking out for that.
I am 34 so feel like it may take awhile to conceive

@boymum2022 feel the pain - bfn again this AM - likely to be 8DPO and due on AF Friday/Saturday. My BBT is still high too - 36.9 everyday, and Sunday it was 37.1!!!

m00ngirl · 30/01/2024 10:48

I'm about 5DPO (but not sure I trust ovulation tests this month as went from zero to static peak in 24h - no flashing peak! I was due to ovulate 3 days before that) and so have a rotten 9-10 days before I test or AF. Really can't bear the wait.

First time trying, 6 or 7th month, and mid 30s - and like a PP I really went for it this month!

I don't know how people do this month after month, I've had enough of the let down.

Boobs feel normal which is annoying. I've got EWCM , hoping that's a good thing, but that's what we do isn't it... live in hope! 😩

bulletproofcoffee · 30/01/2024 11:08

@m00ngirl I feel you, I am 33 , first time TTC. Admittedly TTC properly with tracking for 3 months. It's not so long compared with others, but because I've had cervical cancer I am really conscious to do it ASAP. I'm exhauted, and genuinely feel pangs of depression :(

m00ngirl · 30/01/2024 11:25

@bulletproofcoffee that sounds beyond tough, so sorry to hear what you've been through. And puts things into perspective. You must be incredibly strong 💪 everything crossed that you will get there. Will be looking out for your news! 🤞 Meanwhile these TWWs seem to bend space time and everything goes so sloooowly ...

Mummysparrow · 30/01/2024 12:46

I have been lightly spotting for a few days and I have had a bit more today. It is fresh blood. I usually get some spotting about 3 days before a period. My period I don't think it is due for about 5 days so either it is coming early or something is happening. Who knows

boymum2022 · 31/01/2024 06:24

So I'm 10dpo, periods due today,no pms, bbt gone back up today after a drop yesterday, BFN yesterday 🤣 what a rollercoaster!! Hope everyone is doing ok xx

m00ngirl · 31/01/2024 07:12

@boymum2022 bbt sounds good? What pregnancy tests are you using? I've just ordered the easy@home for first time. Am 6dpo today but will wait for 10dpo. Good luck!

Mummysparrow · 31/01/2024 08:57

10dpo and BFN here as well so I think I am out for this cycle. Period isn't due until the weekend at earliest

OP posts:
DejaMooo · 31/01/2024 10:29

11 dpo here and another bfn for me too. Obviously have since spent ages googling all the success stories of bfp's after bfn's at 11 dpo - I know it's still early so in with a chance, but it's still rubbish. TTC takes over my life and I really need to stop testing so early, all it does is ruin my day and turn me into a maniac who stalks conception threads 🙃

Mummysparrow · 31/01/2024 11:51

I find it hard to not compare to my first pregnancy as I had a positive at 10dpo with my daughter so I automatically assume I am out this month.... Which I might not be but to be honest in my heart I believe I am out.
Also i developed tonsillitis last night and went I went to the doctor, it turns out my cough is a chest infection so I am on antibiotics. The APN put me on conceiving friendly antibiotics though bless her

Day 5 po and absolutely no symptoms at all. Last month with the chemical I felt something I’m sure but was probably in my head. Stopped drinking this month to see if that does anything so probably a clear head and no hangovers is making me feel right as rain. 😂

@DejaMooo I also need to stop googling conceiving forums it’s taking up too much time for stuff I already know 😬

DejaMooo · 31/01/2024 12:06

@Mummysparrow - I hope you feel better soon. I don't remember when I got my positive test with my daughter, but went looking back at photos I took of tests for subsequent pregnancies (ended in 2 miscarriages and an ectopic - 2023 was a fun year). I've written on them and they all seem to start at 13DPO, so I either had a lot more willpower then or I was getting negatives before those. Wish I could remember. Fingers crossed for you, there's still time for us.

@Hollycharlie Yep! I know all this stuff too so what am I doing? 😆 It becomes an obsession. I'm going to make myself stop now because it's not achieving anything. I'm either pregnant or I'm not and so reading about other people's tests isn’t going to change anything.

Hollycharlie · 31/01/2024 12:17

@DejaMooo yes 100% I’ll need to do the same. So hard though. 😂

bulletproofcoffee · 31/01/2024 17:50

This ttc is really killing me. Today I was crying and loosing it. I don’t know if it’s because if I’m not then my period is due Friday and it’s pms but it’s made my anxiety and depression so much worse. I usually get it anyway when due on but I can feel if I’m not pregnant then it’s going to be so much worse than normal this month 😓

boymum2022 · 31/01/2024 19:00

Sucks so much doesn't it? One app says I'm a day late, another app says I'm due AF in 2 days 🤣 I think I might just go out and get some FRER tests? @m00ngirl I used easy at home. I had a faint line at 11dpo with my son, BFN again this morning 🤣

DejaMooo · 01/02/2024 18:58

@bulletproofcoffee I hope you're feeling a bit better today. TTC can be hard at the best of times so I can only imagine

Well, 12 dpo today and did a FRER this morning. Negative of course, so I really don't see that changing now. I really thought it might be my month... see some of you back here in a couple of weeks to start it all again!

Mummysparrow · 01/02/2024 21:00

For some reasons I have stopped receiving emails notifications today 🤦
@DejaMooo we will be all here 🤦🤣
Contemplating eating better next month because as much as I love eating I wonder if I ate better if it will help with conceiving

OP posts:
AccountingMummy · 01/02/2024 21:34

Same here @DejaMooo with the 12dpo and another bfn! AF was due any time between the Tuesday just gone and tomorrow. Find it hard to believe I could test negative at 12dpo if I was pregnant, but I also have no PMS like I normally do. Hard not to hope, but deep down I know it's onto next month.

AccountingMummy · 02/02/2024 07:32

AF arrived today 😥 onto next month we go

Mummysparrow · 02/02/2024 09:45

It appears AF has arrived for me too. Though there was a good amount of blood (not spotting) and then appears to have stopped again. But what concerns me is that it is really early. It makes the cycle 26 days. Since TTC my cycle has shortened and I am unsure as to whether I should be concerned. I found a discount code for Hertility fertility test so I have ordered one of those to see if anything obvious sticks out.

OP posts:
bulletproofcoffee · 02/02/2024 12:34

@Mummysparrow @AccountingMummy I am so sorry both of you I honestly feel your pain. I've cried for two days, I think because its PMS now. Feel so lonely in all this... I convinced myself my Easy @ Homes were wrong so went and bought a Clear Blue - still BFN. Technically due on today or tomorrow so I guess it would have picked it up. Can you share what you are buying the Hertility fertility test?

Mummysparrow · 02/02/2024 13:04

@bulletproofcoffee the Hertility fertility check can check a number of things depending on the person but for me it is checking my prolactin levels, my AMH, LH, thyroid, FSH and oestradiol.it will help me to see if my eggs are dwindling and if any of the numbers aren't where they are supposed to be. If they are all ok, I might be my progesterone checked as well. Only cost £139 which isn't bad.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this thread.

My situation is a little different to the majority of you (from reading the thread). We have been going through IVF and and are now 2 days post embryo transfer.

The wait is killing me. I feel so anxious and scared.

Sending well wishes for everyone on here and hoping you all get the outcome you want.

Mummysparrow · 02/02/2024 18:48

Well what I thought was my period starting wasn't. After waking up to bright red blood, it went as quick as it started 🤦 wtf is going on.
My husband is wondering whether my body is rejecting a potential pregnancy because I had a week off for stress 3 weeks ago and I am currently ill with a cold, tonsillitis and chest infection and on antibiotics

OP posts:
m00ngirl · 02/02/2024 20:38

@Mummysparrow have you done a pregnancy test today?
