Anyone in or approaching their 2WW

[Emilyx00]

Hi everyone, my first month using ovulation strips. Apparently I have had my ‘peak’ so I’m gathering I’ll ovulate in the next few days if I haven’t done already.

Haven’t managed to have as much sex as I’d like but hopefully just one of them will hang around, might try and do it tonight (but I really cannot be bothered) just in case!

anyone else in their 2WW or approaching their 2WW?

Hello! Yep I’m right here with you - peaked yesterday (I think). Was high this morning so will do one more test when I get in from work. And then into the long old TWW!
Have been trying for a few months, but only month 2 using OPKs. Think I’m getting the hang of it! I think sex tonight and tomorrow and then will skip a day and try one more time.
fingers crossed…!

Hi ladies. I'm here to join too. I'm currently 3DPO.
I had a MC 1st Jan and I drove myself crazy on my last TWW so I'm determined to try and relax. I've been doing yoga and lots of walking. Today was a good day! Do you have any tips for keeping calm/busy?
Currently watching love is blind. Total trash but Twitter said this new one is quite good so hopefully distracting!

Hi lovelies! I’m not tracking this month as I feel like I need a break. But I reckon I’ll probably ovulate tomorrow 😬

This will be our third cycle trying following on from a miscarriage, so I’m keeping everything crossed but also expecting nothing at the same time!

wish you could fast forward the two week wait 😂 How’s everyone feeling?

@Frankie2607 I got sooo obsessed with data last month it really affected my sleep so other than LH testing at the time of ovulation I've done nothing else so I totally empathise. This bit is the worst - the not knowing. Sorry for your loss and what you've been through, I really hope this is your month xx

Hi, I’m currently 8/9dpo and in the dreaded TWW of symptom spotting every tiny little
thing.

I tested yesterday morning and this evening and both were a BFN - like stark white not even the remote chance of being positive. I know it’s early, but it’s still disheartening even though I know I shouldn’t have done it.

@shohopeful i’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Love is Blind is trash, but good trash.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you all getting your BFP this month.

Thanks @SophT27
I'd say it's still too early to get a positive. It's sooo hard but try to give yourself another few days.
Journaling is supposed to be really helpful if that's something you wanted to try to get through.
I've made a to do list of all the things I want to do over the next two weeks - I think it's helping so far!

@shohopeful I think tracking can be such a blessing and a curse at the same time. When I spoke to the doctor she was like “BIN THEM!” Haha.

thank you ♥️ and sorry to hear about your loss too. Got it all crossed for us!

ps Need to watch Love is Blind! Last season was rubbish, so hoping for better 😂

Hey ladies gonna join in if that’s ok should be starting soon feels like everyone is 12/13 dpo so nice to have a group of people just starting 😊

Ahh lots of us waiting then!! I also had a miscarriage end of last year so feeling slightly desperate. Sorry for your losses, it’s so difficult isn’t it? I keep sitting thinking about how far along I should be now and then feeling sad that I’m not pregnant. It sucks.

I’m trying so hard to keep calm but I just want the next two weeks to hurry up!😂 Might have a look at love is blind. Is it on Netflix?

@Emilyx00 so sorry for you too. I'm the same. I have days where I feel really angry and like I've been robbed. And others where I remind myself it was hopefully a kindness it happened when it did, and it maybe wouldn't have been very well. I'm also hoping when our rainbow babies come we will one day be strangely grateful for the journey and that whatever is meant for us will happen - and they'll come when they're ready! Maybe that's a bit insane but it's where I'm at just now. Love is blind is on Netflix. First episodes ending made me want to watch ep 2!! Can also recommend criminal record on Apple TV for something a bit more gripping (it's a police drama)

Eeeek I'm here to join too! I'm at the exact same stage as you @Emilyx00 , peaked yesterday and was also CD 17 yesterday - so snap! Pleased there are so many of us to ride this TWW together ❤️

I had THE most vivid dream last night that I had a baby and was breastfeeding the little babe. I can't tell you how real it felt and how strange it was when I woke up.

So desperate to be a mama already but this is only our 2nd month TTC for baby #1

And so sorry to you @Emilyx00 and @shohopeful - keeping fingers crossed for you.

For this TWW I haven't tried love is blind but see it all over social media - I'm so invested in it just from that! If anyone hasn't watched traitors yet (UK and Australia versions) then this is a MUST! Such amazing television

I think I peaked today, but new to testing so not 100% sure what I’m looking for! any advice appreciated, hoping this month is the month for all of you lovely ladies!

We’re TTC baby 2 but haven’t got my period back yet following baby 1 (breastfed) so it’s a bit all over the shop.

@AccountingMummy thank you. I LOVED the U.K. version of traitors so we will defo start Australian one - thank you! Has anyone read beetroot juice is good for implantation? I got some and it is soooooo rank but I'm just downing a glass every morning through a straw. Can only really taste it in the aftertaste so downing in one! Hahaha. If I'm not pregnant this cycle I'm not trying it next one. It's too much haha

I’m 6dpo so can probably test on Friday earliest I think? It’s 2.5 years now of ttc #3 so joy feeling very hopeful but have an appt booked for next week so at least if I get my period we are getting things checked more (already had some tests which all came back fine but it did take a while for dc 1 and 2 and the only thing I’m not sure about is possible endometriosis)

*not feeling (not joy feeling!)

Hi ladies! I'm around 6dpo, cycle 16530 of TTC (at least it feels like 😂). In real terms it's cycle 7 of TTC since my most recent loss. In total been TTC about 4 years (excluding breaks from it for a couple of different reasons).

Have had 2 MMCs, last one was July last year and both my due dates that weren't have just gone so it's been a tough month. Feeling surprisingly chilled this tww now, think it's because if my period does arrive I've got a fun fitness competition a few days later so at least have something to look forward to!

Hi everyone I am in the dreaded 2ww after finally starting trying again after my last miscarriage in august which was my 4th (part of the recurrent miscarriage clinic) and trying not to lose my mind. Feel like I am always wishing time away in the 2ww.

Sorry to hear about the losses you have had I hope we all get our rainbow babies soon.

I have decided not to track ovulation this month for mental health purposes so unsure of how many dpo but still constantly symptom spotting

Oh wow! There are a lot of us! It’s nice to not feel alone. It’s hard sometimes isn’t it? You don’t want to put too much pressure on your other half but you need somewhere to talk all things TTC! Has anyone else got kids or is this most people’s first? This will be my 3rd. The age gaps are just getting bigger and bigger though so I’m finding that stressful.

I’m going to have a look at some of those programmes! I could do with a distraction. I’m currently trying to lose some weight too so I’ve thrown myself into slimming world from today to try and give myself something to focus on!

Has everyone got a testing date in mind? I am adamant I am not testing early this month. Last month I drove myself crazy testing every single day and wasted so much money, and I was still getting faint positives from the MC trying to convince myself it was a new pregnancy!

I'm in my waiting period too. Haven't been tracking ovulation with sticks but I can usually feel it because I get such bad cramps and ewm. I've used 2 different apps to try and check when I would ovulate and when I'd be due but to be honest I've been pretty crappy with it all. We have had sex a lot more this month and especially when I was cramping thinking I was ovulating.

My husband is away on Friday night so I'm trying to wait until then. I don't like to test around him or get my hopes up too much. One app tells me af is due Thursday and the other next Tuesday and I've been all over the place with cycles so who knows. I've been getting such bad stomach cramps it's probably af coming but I'm desperately hoping it's not (although it does feel too much to be implantation or very early pregnancy)

Sorry to hear of everyone’s losses. Most difficult and awful thing ever ♥️ But taking comfort from you all, so thank you.

@shohopeful I tried beetroot juice once. It was so bloody vile I nearly projectile vomited 🤮 (sorry TMI!) haha. It’s rank! Now I just throw some in my salads and hope for the best

I think I'm out. Couldn't resist and tested just now with an early detection while my husband was out (either 13 days PO with one app or 7 days PO with another). It was very clearly negative, not even a squinter. I know if the second app was correct I could still be and have tested too early but the amount of cramping and stomach pain I'm getting makes me think the first is correct and AF will arrive in the next day or 2. This would have been my rainbow after a loss in October last year. Really thought this was the month as we'd done so well with timing based on when I felt I was ovulating and when the apps said I was too

@DawnWW aw I'm so sorry Dawn. I hope you're ok. Just keep doing what you're doing and once cycle it'll stick!! It only needs to happen once. It's so shit though. Get some nice comfort food and do something nice for you this weekend. A massage or something. Sending love. And hopefully it is still that bit too early. Xxx

Hello,
I’m in my TWW, currently on 6DPO.
This is cycle #12 of TTC and I’ve had two losses in that time.
For some reason I feel really hopeful this month, though I have no reason to think this will be my month when we’ve failed most cycles!
Next few days are going to feel long..

In previous pregnancies I’ve had very faint BFP around 10/11 DPO. What about others, when have you got your first positive?

@AnnieStar12 hello! I was 10DPO when I got my positive with my first pregnancy in November. Hopefully you've not too much longer to wait. Positivity defo helps! Also read there was a study where people who watched more comedies were more likely to conceive because they were laughing. Who knows if that'll work but get a good one on anyway for that feel good factor. Sending you lots of baby dust!!
