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?

How is everyone doing? I'm 5DPO and just had some cramping there. Last cycle (just after my MC) my luteal phase was only 7 days so I am worried that it's that

Hi it’s so hard in the 2ww - things we would normally not even think about become symptoms. I’m struggling after my 4th miscarriage in august we finally starting trying again this month but all of a sudden my husband cannot perform

@Ttcafterlosses I'm so sorry that's rotten. It affects us all in different ways. Thinking of you Xx

@Llr2023 and @Frankie2607 and @AccountingMummy and @moosloverlover . We have all peaked at roughly the same time. I’m making a conscious effort not to symptom spot this month. Funnily enough, I haven’t had any ovulation symptoms so I’m hoping I’ve actually ovulated! Didn’t manage to have sex again so just hoping the couple of times we did it is enough.

@shohopeful , I feel you with obsessing. I didn’t read my LH last month but I didn’t give my poor DP a break and by the end, he was coming up to bed so late I think he was avoiding sleeping with me😂. I’ve tried to use the tests this month so he has a chance to recover, bless him.

@SophT27 / @DawnWW how are you both feeling? Did you test again? It is so disheartening when it’s stark white. I’m the worst for seeing lines that aren’t actually there. You’re both still very early so things can change in that time (although I’m sure you know this!) sending hugs.

@Anonxo hello, when are you due to test? I think I have just ovulated so now starting the dreaded wait!

@Ttcafterlosses sorry to hear about your losses. It’s so hard when it’s everything you want. Do you know when you’re going to test or are you going to wait for your period to be late?

@AnnieStar12 hello! When are you due to test? It’s so difficult to hold off. Are you going to attempt it at 10dpo? Both of mine were unplanned so I only found out when the throwing up started around 6-8 weeks and by then, the line was so easy to see.

@Notsureifitspossible I’m TTC #3 as well. I just keep thinking about how the age gap is getting bigger and finding it more stressful which I don’t think is helping. How old are your other DC? Testing Friday is still very early. Do you think you’ll test then or try and hold off for a couple of days? My ovulation strips came with loads of pregnancy tests so I’m really going to try hard to not test until at least 14dpo (who am I kidding!!!)

Hi ladies,
According to pre-mom, I’m 2dpo today. I have some right side tugging in my ovary area today so I’m wondering if I’m ovulating today although it is 3 days after my peak result so not sure if this is possible.
How is everyone today?

@Emilyx00 Gonna wait till 1 March but might not be able to worst case scenario I’ll wait till Monday and give in

do you track bbt that could let you know when you ovulate

Hi, I haven't tested again. Was expecting AF today but nothing. Might be that the second app is right and I only ovulated last week so not due until next Tuesday. That would be great because then there is still a chance. If there's no sign of AF by Saturday morning I'll do an early test with FMU so that should show if I've managed it. It's just so disheartening when it's negative and sends me into a spiral emotionally. How's everyone else doing?

Hello
Hope you don't mind me joining I think today/ tomorrow for my ovulation day and then the wait
We started trying in November then fell on in December but miscarried in January so first month ttc since that, we have a 3 year old and fell on fast with them so hoping the same happens again
I forgot what a killer the TWW is!

How do you stop yourself symptom
spotting?! Every single twinge I’m asking myself if I’m pregnant! Happened really quickly for DD so didn’t really have the TWW as I didn’t expect it to happen!

@DawnWW fingers crossed for you and for Saturday!!

I'm now 7DPO and my breasts are so swollen and sore and my temp is quite high so I'm hoping I at least have a longer luteul phase. In terms of not symptom spotting I find that totally impossible!! I do have a to do list to keep my mind occupied so I find that is helping. It's killer though. I'm just keeping everything crossed I don't see my period and trying to not be tempted to test crazy early (though I always do! But I've had my first pee of the day so that's me avoided it for today!! Haha)

Yeah symptom spotting is a nightmare and so difficult not to do. Plus most of the symptoms are the same as AF so you can't really tell the difference but it builds hope. Fingers crossed for you!

My husband has left for the day / night and it's nagging at me, just do a test. But I know the disappointment will ruin my day so trying really hard to wait until tomorrow. FMU will be stronger and I'll only be 3 days before period so it's better to wait I know this.... so hard though

@DawnWW I'd say if you can wait then try your best to. Your pee will be dilute so won't pick up lower levels of HCG (which it would be just now). Totally get the mental struggles of all this!! Remember as teens we were told how easy it all was! How many DPO are you? Xx

Possibly 10 days. I've used 2 apps to try to track and the second (Premom) says 10. The first app shows 16 days PO which is why I did a test the other day. Still a lot of stomach cramps so assuming I'll be somewhere in the middle and start in the next day or so. Still always hopeful though xx

It's another negative 😔 still no AF so I guess I did ovulate late but still had sex 3 times in the data around ovulation including before, on the day and after but still negative 😔 I think I'm getting too old now and my chances seem to be zero of this happening

@DawnWW I know the cliche is you aren’t out until AF shows but it really is true. It is so disappointing to get negative tests though, even though you might still be in with a chance, so sending you a hug. Remember, you’re using two apps and only 11dpo on one of them, so it might still be too early to tell as you aren’t 100% sure when you ovulated x

@DawnWW how old are you? On another thread there's a woman who's 37 who got pregnant second cycle and took this concoction of vitamins as she said many pregnancy ones don't have high enough concentrations. I've been taking them for one cycle and i normally ovulate day 22-23 but it was 19 this cycle so hoping that at least helped? Sending you all the love. (I'm also 8DPO and took a test this morning as a form of torture. Obviously negative!! But also reading some women see it from then just to try and panic myself further.) xxx

Morning ladies. I got my BFP this morning! Couldn't sleep and my temp dropped a bit so thought I'd take a test to put myself out of my misery, but it was positive. So that was my first full cycle after MC. (I did have one period in between)
It felt like a lifetime and here for anyone going through it.
Now have the mental gymnastics of trying not to think about this one ending in a loss. Sending love and luck to everyone on here xxx

@shohopeful congratulations! Fingers crossed for a sticky baby!

@moosloverlover thank you. One day at a time I guess! Good luck for this month xxx

Amazing congratulations! So happy for you!

I got my BFP yesterday morning 11dpo after a year of trying but I’m so anxious it’s not going to stick 😫

@Jellybelly888 congratulations!! I think it's just a one foot in front of the other thing? I'm going to try and rest as much as I can and try to avoid stress in work and eat well. Xxx

@shohopeful / @Jellybelly888 congratulations both!!! How are you feeling? Any symptoms ?

@Emilyx00 thank you! I just feel a bit off. Weirdly my feet are freezing too. How many DPO are you now? Xx

@shohopeful really? Funnily enough, feeling cold was one of my symptoms in my last pregnancy. I’m 7dpo. No symptoms at all so not feeling really hopeful. When will you be due according to your last period?

I'm in the same boat, finally got our first positive after 8 months of trying then early MC in Jan. I'd read a lot about people getting pregnant straight after their MC so I really got my hopes up for the jan/Feb cycle and convinced myself I was having symptoms so the BFN and then prompt arrival of AF got to me more than usual! 2dpo in my feb/Mar cycle and trying my best not to drive myself mental!
