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 ? ☺️

Evening all!
This has been the longest day of my life πŸ˜…and I'm pretty sure the spotting I was having is now developing into AF 🫣
In a way it's kind of given me peace of mind, because now I know how the next few weeks are going to go and that we have a fresh start to try again.

Hope you've all had a good wee evening and weekend is going well so far!

That constant examining of the toilet roll when you wipe to see if the spotting is turning into AF... 😒 Been there too.

I wonder are you near me? Everytime I see the word 'wee' on MN my ears prick up πŸ˜‚

littlebluu · 06/10/2024 01:30

Every. Single. Time. I go to the bathroom 😫
It's still really subtle and I'm just like arrggh please just turn into AF or not!! πŸ˜…

Morning everyone! ☺️
Toyed with the idea of testing this morning as I’m 10/11 DPO, but don’t know if I can take the disappointment πŸ˜‚
Woke up at 12am and had on and off pelvic pain for a good half hour, but it was quite low down. Had nothing since and do sometimes get this before AF. Still bloated stomach is very hard, my boobs aren’t as sore this morning and I have that dull heavy feeling in my uterus I get before AF too! So basically everything is pointing to AF arriving in a few days πŸ˜‚

HeartyPanda · 06/10/2024 11:54

Hellos dinos,

woke up today feeling lasy and can we agree that this week was super long? 4 more days before i allow myself to test🀞🏻

God it's so tough because it could also be pregnancy signs !
Let's see in the next few days !!
I'm due next Friday, but I'm pretty sure it's a no for me this month.
Idk why I can feel it ! (Or not, no feelings at all haha)

My temp dropped this morning (which happens in the few days before AF shows) and I’ve started with normal cramping, I’m also STARVING, so I defo thing all signs are pointing to BFN and onto the next cycle! Can’t be helped, 2 cycles is still early in the journey! Just need to try be positive, I don’t doubt that I’ll have a little cry when she does show but hey ho!

littlebluu · 06/10/2024 13:13

Well.. woke up today with AF in full swing. Part of me felt relief because I knew I wasn't going to torture myself with any more negative testing.
But now calls into question all of the what-ifs.
I thought we managed to catch the days before, on and after ovu, so is there some other issue at play, age, weight, fertility issues with me or DH etc etc. Or just an unlucky month!

Head is swirling πŸ˜…

But I suppose with AF I know where I'm at for the next 4 days so..I'm able to relax somewhat I guess.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday!

Sorry to hear this! I think I am going to be in the same situation in the coming days as have all my usual AF symptoms!

I know what you mean about the timing as we have covered it quite well the last 2 cycles too.. I am actually going to pay to have my hormones checked if she does arrive and have discussed with OH potentially doing the at home exseed sperm test just to kind of relax our minds, and it least if it shows an issue we know early on and can look into anything that can be done to improve the situation. I know we are still early but I don’t think I can face 12 months of disappointment if there is actually something we could be doing about things now!

slothbat · 06/10/2024 13:53

@KT199 @littlebluu I think I'm out to this month! Same symptoms as AF in full force and wanting chocolate which is my sign AF is about to make an appearance.

I do have to say though this last couple of weeks have been made bearable with you lovely lot to chat to and to know I'm not going through this alone ❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️

Aw sorry to hear that! Hope you can enjoy the rest of your weekend and keep positive x

Gemmaemilyx · 06/10/2024 14:34

After lots of cramps and pink discharge the last couple of days, I feel absolutely nothing today and I caved did an IC and got a BFN 🀣 how many cycles is everyone on at the moment? Sorry to hear AF arrived @littlebluu hopefully next month is your month 🩷

littlebluu · 06/10/2024 14:48

Thank you everyone πŸ₯°

It definitely helps knowing I have a little support network that I can vent to!

@KT199 I think I'm going to give it another couple of cycles since this was only our first and I might not have been tracking exact, and then I'm going to look into further basic testing definitely coz I'm with you, I can't do this another 11 times πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜
