Hey ladies πŸ‘‹πŸ½
Just thought I'd post this to find some buddies in the TTC journey as a clueless gal trying for baby #1 ! 🫢🏽
Ovulated today, so I guess the 2WW starts ! ⏰
Anyone else starting their 2WW ? ☺️

Yes pretty much what @HopefulSS said, and pretty much what I don't want to do because it's way too much sex for me hahahahah

Ohhhh ok hmmm interesting! But hard work πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Lila34830 · 03/10/2024 14:48

Depends on people but after 10 hour of work I just can't have sex 20 times a month ! πŸ˜‚

@Lila34830 literally!! My partners in construction too so he's shattered by the end of day!!!

HopefulSS · 03/10/2024 14:52

@Lila34830 @slothbat yeah it is a lot & I normally just do once between period ending and fertile period then three to four times in my fertile period and then probs once after ovulation before period lol. I think as long as you have sex a couple of times on the 3 days leading up to ovulation and the day of then you are fine.

I'm in construction!! And I am shattered everyday. I'm in the office though not on site πŸ˜‚

@slothbat it’s what @HopefulSS said, it stands for β€˜Sperm meet egg’ maximizing the chances that those two meet already! Haha but i agree sounds like a lot of work! But i might be tempted to try it if nothing happens in the futur cycles!
@slothbat maybe get ahead and DTD the morning before sending him to his work 🀣

slothbat · 03/10/2024 15:13

@HeartyPanda sounds like a good plan πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ god there's so many methods and tests and this and that it's mind blowing 🀯 just want the next few days to go quick to find out!!

My impatience has seriously kicked in this afternoon, I want to know the outcome NOW πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­. The positivity I had this morning has drained away and I just want it to be this time next week where I will 100% know where I stand. I still don’t think I’ll risk taking a test as it will put me in a foul mood for the weekend but, seriously can next week hurry up.

HopefulSS · 03/10/2024 16:25

@KT199 I am with you girl! I am so desperate to know either way... I think I may test Saturday morning at 11dpo, it may let me down gently. Or ruin my weekend but we will see! Annoyingly I am alone Friday and Saturday night as OH is out and then working so if I'm not pregnant il be miserable and alone 🫣 il just have to drink wine, cuddle my dogs and eat ice cream. Urgh this is hard!

slothbat · 03/10/2024 16:45

@KT199 we are twin cycle buddies!!! Don't cave in just yet!!!!!!

@HopefulSS yeah I think 11DPO would perhaps show something! Not that I am encouraging early testing ... says me peeing on stick Monday πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

continuallyconfused · 03/10/2024 16:53

We did SMEP first cycle, it's pretty intense and feels a LOT like a schedule. And then my partner was away when I got my peak so we missed the window πŸ˜‚ now just trying for every 2-3 days until peak or when we feel like it

This is why I want to wait until the weekend over, plus it will be a more reliable result. Can’t be bothered with feeling crap all weekend, then telling myself I aren’t out cause I tested early, getting my hopes up and then repeat day after like last cycle! But love the sound of wine on the sofa cuddling the dogs πŸ˜‚ perfect evening for me is that!!

I’m trying to hold out until Monday (12DPO) as I know that result is more likely to be reliable! Have you had any symptoms at all?

I think maybe Saturday or Sunday at 12dpo depending on how I feel. Not sure. I'm so undecided 🫣

HopefulSS · 03/10/2024 17:12

@KT199 12dpo would be lots better, as it should really show by then. I may do the same but I just don't know if I can wait that long. I've had the odd twinges in my left side, odd cramp and feeling like I am about to come on, which I don't know if it's normal or not. And my boobs hurt but I'd say that's normal as it starts after I ovulate. All in all pretty damn symptom less 🀞🏻

HopefulSS · 03/10/2024 17:13

@KT199 yeah it's a hard one, I want to know now but I don't want a negative now lol. I can't wait for sofa cuddles with the dogs, it always makes me feel better. Il do that tonight as OH is out again. What dogs do you have? X

It is so intense isn't it. That's why I kinda just try to have sex as much as possible hitting the day of and the day before and hoping for the best. Scheduled sex isn't fun. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

KT199 · 03/10/2024 17:37

Aw don’t worry people still get BFP’s with no symptoms! I haven’t had many either tbh abit of bloating, sore boobs and feel a little sick this afternoon but I also feel sick when I am anxious/nervous so most likely to be that for me.

I have a bichon frise and a cockapoo, how about you?! Xx

Lila34830 · 03/10/2024 20:02

How is everybody feeling ? I'm 5/6 dpo, no symptoms at all today apart from bigger boobs but that's normal for me before af !

Hey! Absolutely nothing going on over here (7/8DPO). Quite depressing really πŸ˜‚ wish I had something to report or suspect! Instead I’ve convinced myself this won’t be my month 😩

Lila34830 · 03/10/2024 20:16

@KT199 I think I'm out too idk why, probs cause I've been ill in the middle of! So I'm not too stressed weirdly. Would love for one of yous to have a bfp and a bfpf (big fat positive and big fat picture of fossil ) lmfao

🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 cant cope

is anyone taking any supplements/vitamins? I have seen a lot of positives about COQ10 so was thinking of starting that next month if I don’t get to post my BFPF πŸͺ¨

Lila34830 · 03/10/2024 20:40

@KT199 taking folic acid and vitamin D :)

I’m just like you 7dpo zero symptoms to report! Although some little bit of Mucus, but i had that last cycle so not sure if that’s symptom!
like our fellow dino said zero symptoms doesnt mean anything so let’s be hopeful!
