In the dreaded 2 week wait

Hello lovely ladies, wishing you all luck on your journey. Anybody else currently in the 2 week wait? It has to be the longest wait doesn't it? I am only 2 DPO and already want to test 😭. I know I will shortly start imagining symptoms now too 🙈

Hi all! New to this thread. Currently in the TWW, 11DPO and fighting back the urge to test!😩 Anyone else in a similar boat right now?

mummm2 · 20/06/2025 21:58

@Alex2022 I’ve not personally experienced this but online says this can be a normal sign of ovulation!

Cd2 today my apple watch is arriving on Tuesday anybody have one and use it for cycle tracking?🥰

mummm2 · 20/06/2025 22:10

@WishUponAStar4 glad the days are going by fast for you! Have you started LH yet?

O day for me. I tested at 9pm last night it was 0.85 so Premom has classed that as my peak & then 0.64 this morning. I think I must have missed my highest peak during the night.

@Heyitshal Welcome 🤗 you have far more willpower than me lol I usually cave far earlier than that!

Hi! I have Apple Watch, tried tracking on it few months ago but couldn’t get it to work 🤣 hopefully someone can help x

Would you guys rely on EWCM and temperature spike more than LH strips? I recorded EWCM on CD13 so had it around that time, and then a BBT spike on CD15. But no positive test strip.
Temp has been steadily going up so I think I did OV. Would you ignore the lack of a positive test and go with the physical symptoms?

Thank you! I'm on cycle 20 something, early testing has hurt me too much 😅 Trying to stay strong this time and only test when I know it's likely to be positive. I do have some symptoms currently so trying not to overthink! I've not caught up on this thread, whereabouts are you in your cycle?☺️

Itonlytakesone · 21/06/2025 16:49

@Heyitshal
completely understand about early testing although I’m a sucker for early testing! It’s just wanting to know where I am with everything. I had a couple of recent chemicals which is rubbish but my body wants to be pregnant iv just got bad quality eggs. Iv dtd yesterday so day 12 of cycle. By 8dpo I’ll be testing from! Iv got a good feeling 🤣

I wouldn’t rely on EWCM as I don’t get much! I find it hard to do BBT at same time every day, although do always do it after the longer period of sleep.. usually somewhere between 4-6am.
What CD do you normally get LH positive?

Ooh exciting if you have symptoms tho! What are you feeling atm?? I thought I was 1DPO today but my apps now changed me to ov day aaah

Ec2808 · 21/06/2025 18:25

mummm2 · 21/06/2025 19:16

So I thought I peaked CD14 overnight as I got 0.85 before bed but I didn’t test again so haven’t logged it
But I tested today CD16 & got 0.97 so the app has now said today is my peak day and O DAY tomorrow!
Buttt BBT rose this morning indicating I’ve already ovulated… very confused lol.
I know it doesn’t really matter a day here or there but I’m so annoyed I didn’t test again CD14 as I usually get 1.2 minimum so guess now il never know 😂 rant over. X

I'm not sure if it counts as symptoms but I have a constant stretching feeling of my uterus and my breasts feel a lot fuller than usual (this could be in my head). Ahhh that's frustrating! Now you're going to need to go through that business again 😅

Well they def sound like positive symptoms! Have you been TTC long?

mummm2 · 23/06/2025 17:43

I’m either 1DPO or 3DPO 🤦🏻‍♀️

I had BBT spike CD16 then it dropped CD17 & CD18. I’ve never had this before but I’m inclined to think this isn’t a good sign 😔 anyone had any experience with BBT drops this early into LH phase?

Mouche85 · 24/06/2025 06:57

Ovulation day today for me!

We did it yesterday, which is detected timings but also will be the only time this cycle within the window.

I was delayed and the ovulation tests were a bit pale. I changed brand now for the same as you @mummm2

I've never tried BBT teaching but I would expect the hot weather impact on it too?

Yes, I'm on cycle 20 something... but only recently started being more structured with timings etc xx

I had another temp drop today so just think it must mean I haven’t ovulated. My chart just looks like mountains. Didn’t catch my LH peak so don’t know if it was CD14/CD16 just at a complete loss this cycle and already want it to be over so I can start again 😂

@Mouche85 YAY for O day. How are you getting on with them, are you using premom to log them too?

@Heyitshal any update on symptoms? How many DPO are you now?

@WishUponAStar4 good to have you back! Hope you’re feeling better ready for DTD 🤣 Glad to hear your cycles are normalising again and not hanging on for peak!

Oh thats interesting. Had a quick glance over your last comments and the tests look positive on CD 16.. my temp doesn't change too much even after peaks. I hope you DTD anyway 🤣

Im still sick 🙈 but going to DTD anyway 🤣

Really easy to use with the app as well but I had a clear positive for the easy at home and it was still pale for the boots branded ones

Itonlytakesone · 25/06/2025 10:06
