Anyone just started their dreaded 2WW ? 👀👋🏼

[WF1990]

Morning girls, that’s it really, looking for 2WW buddies to get through the longest part of the ttc cycles !
I’m 1DPO, cycle 8 for a first baby 🤞🏼

Thanks for replying That does help actually.

I think I ovulated around 3rd August.

That would make me about 17dpo now, which is why I’m so thrown off AF is never this late for me.

I know you’re right that it could just be late ovulation rather than late AF, but the weird thing is all the symptoms: sore/heavy boobs, darker nipples, loads of vivid dreams, lots of gas and feeling like I constantly need the loo.

My Apple Watch temps and resting HR have also stayed up instead of dipping like they usually do before AF, so I really feel like something’s different this time.

@Seasaltandgrass you’re welcome ! Can I ask did you track ovulation at all with OPKS or BBT ? As apps aren’t accurate at all so you could be late because of late ovulation ! At 17 dpo I would take a negative as a negative (so sorry…) xx

@seasaltandgrass awww its the worst feeling. You could have ovulated later. From what I understand about BBT if you te.p hasn't dropped yet then your still in the luteal phase if you see a drop then AF is coming. Your still in, I know it's stressful maybe wait 2 days an test again if AF hasn't arrived? Thats my tule of thumb. And try and do stuff to take your mind off it while you wait, easier said than done 😊

Hey girls, progesterone came back even worse on 14 nmol. I am very disheartened but I guess I’ll be waiting for the plan of action from the hospital 😔 I had so much hopes that it would be slightly higher at least.
im usually a tough cookie but tonight I’m feeling pretty low.
keep me updated on your 2WW as I am going to assume I’m totally out this cycle ! 🫶🏽

@WF1990 I’m so sorry 😔 get yourself some nice treats and take it easy tonight. I know you’re disappointed, try to remember this is one step closer 🫶

hope you’re feeling ok @Seasaltandgrass you’re not out until you’re out but at this stage you would typically expect a faint line. You could have ovulated later than you thought though, try again in a couple days hope you get your bfp 🤞

@Lh4503 any more spotting as the days gone on? Are you planning on testing again?

I feel like I’m ovulating today but I don’t really know what’s real or not anymore! I’ve been having some cramps and just generally feel tired and unmotivated despite sleeping well last night

@WF1990 awww im so sorry, I've been thinking about you today and hoping it went well. 😔 Let yourself feel everything you need to, and yes as Ellie said get some treats, do some self care and remember that this is the beginning now, the hospital will have a plan and if it's PG tablets then the next few months you'll have a much better chance than you've had so far! ❤️ And we're here if you need support.

@EllieWales I had a little this morning but it seems to have stopped since. We will see what happens with my BBT tomorrow and I'll do another test in the morning I'llbe 12DPO then! Really could go either way at this point.

@WF1990 sorry to hear that! Treat yourself with kindness and keep the faith 🫶🏻

@WF1990 I hope you’re feeling ok today, sending a big hug

@Lh4503 let us know how you get on with your test this morning 🤞

@EllieWales morninggg, well my temp has risen again this morning and I did a test and at first I thought it was nothing but im sure i see a flicker of a line. Mind you we've had a few in here that have looked positive and then haven't been and it's so faint im questioning if its just me hoping lol. No spotting since yesterday afternoon either so I guess the next few days will tell. Last time I didn't get a BFP until 13dpo and it was super faint and im 12dpo today. I hate this back and forth not knowing 🙈

Hope your doing okay? Keep us updated with the LH!

@WF1990 Sending hugs, hope your feeling a bit better after a sleep ❤️

Hey girls, I had a little cry (rare of me but much needed!) and then I made myself 2 sandwiches and watched love is blind 🤣 we keep going 💪🏼 !
chat GPT is telling me that 14 nmol is above 10 nmol so it can sustain implantation. But I decided to completely
forget about testing this month. I am 8 dpo today, AF due Saturday and we’re away all bank hol weekend so it will be a nice distraction tbh !
@EllieWalesdid you manage to get some DTD just in case ?

thank you all for your messages and @Lh4503i have my fingers crossed for you !!!

@WF1990 Sometimes a cry a sandwich and some TV can really help 🩷 You dont have to be strong, this is hard and emotional. But your getting answers. 🤞Glad your okay. Sounds like the trip away is just at the right time 😊

Thank you! I dont really know what to think at this point, definitely getting impatient and a little scared i really dont want to get my hopes up and that test is doing exactly that. 🙈

@Lh4503 I really hope it was, the limbo is the absolute worst! Fingers crossed it gets stronger tomorrow 🤞

@WF1990 I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better today. Good food and a bit of reality tv is the one 👌 glad you’re away this weekend it’ll be a nice reset for you this cycle. Hoping you get some clarity on next steps soon.

I think I ovulated yesterday bbt and rhr rose slightly last night but not the drastic rise I would’ve liked to confirm it so I’m going to wait and see what is says tomorrow morning. We DTD Sunday and Tuesday so well timed if I did ovulate yesterday, if possible we’ll give it another go tonight to be safe in case it’s delayed (again). I can’t believe I’m not even in the TWW yet 🤪

@EllieWales well ive done 3 tests in the space of 24 hours 😆 so unlike me. But the one I've just done is deffo slightly darker (though still very very faint) Am I losing the plot or is that an indent line? I've upped the saturation to see if it's pink and not grey 🙈 I'm so paranoid.

Looks like a BFP to me!

@Lh4503 that looks like a bfp to me too, surely you couldn’t have 2 indent lines in one day??? I think this is positive 😁

@EllieWales I dont know, same brand tests so I guess it could happen on all of them? I so hope its a BFP but atm I dont really believe it. We will see if it gets darker. 🤞

keeping everything crossed that tomorrow confirms it 🤞

omg this IS a bfp for sure !!!!
so happy for you !!!
keep us updated ! Did you have any particular symptoms ??

@WF1990 do you think? Im not convinced yet 🤣🤣 especially since we've seen other tests that look positive.

Ive had less symptoms this month than any other month including my chemical and non-pregnant cycles. No sore boobs nothing. Just slight cramping and very small amount of spotting that seems to be slowing down. The cramping does scare me a bit because thats how the chemical started so I think it puts me on edge now. We will see!

@Lh4503 when I was pregnant with my son (not planned) I remember cramping around the time my period was due and 100% thought it was AF coming but I was in fact pregnant and the cramping stayed with me throughout on and off. I know it’s scary given the chemical but it can also just be a normal symptom, it’s so hard not to overthink everything especially in your situation right now. I would’ve tested at least another 3 times since 🤣

@EllieWales Thank you for the reassurance ❤️ I can't remember anything with my daughter.

Honestly im so tempted, I have a whole box of premom tests and yet ive just gone and bought some clear blue too 🤣 no idea why I dont even think they are as sensitive.

Hi everyone! My partner and I had given up trying this month (well, OPK testing) after I had a chemical last month, but I had a blood panel done randomly today (CD20) which included progesterone and it’s come back at 10nmol. I have 35/36 day cycles so the doctor and chat gpt have suggested it means I ovulated 1-2 days ago. We did DTD both those days so I guess I’m not deliberately back in the 2ww😂😂😭 so here I am at 2dpo!

Heloo @LovelyMuddles im so sorry about your chemical, its rough 😢 hope your doing okay! Oh gosh maybe it's meant to be 😉

Morning girls !
@LovelyMuddlesgood luck for the 2WW !! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@Lh4503ive read so many girls having actually well less symptoms on a bfp cycle ! Have you tested this morning ?

the B6 vitamin is working wonders on me as I’m 9Dpo and I have no pms so far. Not even sore boobs ! So that’s a plus as my pms was that bad usually from 5 dpo.
chat Got says that my 14 nmol is enough to sustain potential implantation as the minimum is 10 nmol. 30 and above id the ideal mark but 14 can work… I still won’t test this month as in not convinced !

Hi @LovelyMuddles welcome back, sorry about the chemical and hope this is your cycle 🤞

@Lh4503 let us know if you do anymore tests today!

@WF1990 that’s good news about the PMS symptoms I might give it a go. I’m usually in rage mode from about 4-5dpo until AF comes.

RHR has risen consistently over the last few days which is consistent with my usual post ovulation trend but BBT is still low 😩 I have all the LP signs, poor sleep quality, tiredness, generally feeling meh etc but no BBT rise to confirm ovulation - beginning to wonder if I’m just not ovulating this cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️
