2WW looking for company 😊

[Chikas]

4DPO, really tried to go it alone but think it may be nice to have some ladies to chat with and share experiences whilst we wait x

I am 5DPO - I will be your TWW buddy 😃

Hey !! I’m currently 3dpo (give or take) my cycles ( when they’re behaving) average around 32 days and im currently on CD 21. Im watching the hours go by each day already 😅 it’s the not knowing I can’t stand ! Wish we could test the day after ovulation and know if it’s a yes or no so we don’t have to spend 2 weeks in limbo 🫣

ooh we're within days of each other! I am trying to keep myself busy with work and exercise - and I started binge watching Greys Anatomy. The distraction is working lol

Oh yey 😬 Hi @Biscuitbaby2218 @thismonthsfad lovely to have you on board.

Honestly the longest wait….Hoping this is our month.

We really put the work in this cycle and hoping we are lucky 🍀

@thismonthsfad ooooo I love Greys anatomy ! Is this my sign to re watch 😂

@Chikas it genuinely is the worst part ! I’m with you on the putting the work in 😀 my poor DH 😅🤣 we’ve done all we can do it’s just this god awful waiting now !

when are you both aiming to test ?

I’m jealous you’ve found something to watch that’s enough to be a distraction @thismonthsfad . I’ve just finished watching downtown abbey and now I’m a bit lost, can’t quite find something to really hook me. Recommendations welcome - unfortunately couldn’t really get into Greys eeekkk.

I felt bad for my DH as we literally went at it back to back all last week until he tried to get some yesterday. Honestly he’s insatiable 😳 I cannot go anymore please…!

I think I may test like next Thursday or Friday. Absolutely ages away….How about you guys? @thismonthsfad think you’re prob first in line right? Rooting for you whoop whoop

ooooh I totally recommend Supernatural - it's my favourite binge watch of them all lol..

@Chikas @Biscuitbaby2218 wooop thank you!! I was thinking of testing on Sunday 11DPO which feels quite early, AF is due next Weds, if I don't test on Sunday, it'll definitely be on Monday. Will you be 14DPO by next Thursday?

I only DTD once this cycle which was on O day.. I am convinced that this cycle isn't the cycle because of that but I am still in until AF arrives I guess 😆

@thismonthsfad ill be 14dpo next Friday but knowing my absolute abysmal lack of patience when it comes to the Tww I’ll be surprised if I hold out 🫣 I’ll try my absolute best to wait till next Friday 😂

hey it only takes once sometimes ! You’re not out till AF shows !

🤣🤣 waiting until 14DPO is hardcore lol I will have soo much respect for you if you wait that long! If I make it to 11DPO, I’ll be happy but I reckon I will cave at 9DPO although I know that it’s so pointless testing that early!

We got this though!! I’ve got everything crossed for us all.

Is this your first time TTC?

@thismonthsfad im definitely going to try but odds are I’ll cave earlier 😂

im feeling hopeful for us all this cycle ☺️

not my first rodeo I was luckily blessed with 2 children ! I had a miscarriage then conceived first child on cycle 1 ( nothing short of a miracle due to how out of control my pcos was back then ) then conceived 2nd on cycle 4 ( I did have an 83 day cycle on one of those 4 though 😅) 6&4 yo 😊

this is my 2nd cycle ttc with third and final! What about you guys ?

Oh wow what a journey! I can’t believe you had an 84 day cycle! But you’ve got two beautiful babies, number 3 will be coming in 2026 🤩. I’m feeling super hopeful for us too 😃
This is our first time TTC, cycle 3 now but I’m learning so much from tracking my cycle-this is the first cycle we’ve DTD on actual O day. I didn’t quite know my O day the last 2 cycles. I really can’t get on with the LH strips but I’ve found temping really useful.
Roll on Sunday lol 🤣

@thismonthsfad oooo your first !! So exciting ☺️ I really hope you get your BFP this month ! Just in time for Christmas ! Honestly I’ve never temped before but through hearing other people talk about it I looked into it and think it might be beneficial to me ! I never really know for sure when I O I basically just look for my EWCM and best estimate based off my cycles lately and hope for the best 😅

I’ve tried LH strips and my hormones just cause false spikes all the time so that’s no good for me.

if I don’t conceive this cycle I think I might give temping a go! Can’t hurt to try and I’d be really interested in getting an insight to what my body is actually doing because sometimes anyone’s guess is as good as mine 😅😂

fingers crossed for Sunday for you !! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Morning ladies, I got a bit distracted yesterday.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out.

waiting to test is the hardest part, I think I’ll be fine this week because I know there’s actually no point, but next week will be super difficult.

I really want to wait until my period is due, otherwise I just spiral.

It’s also my first bubba too, really hoping we get good news ladies.

I’ve tried temping, I didn’t have the discipline, but lh strips seems to have done the trick, I can manage those.

@Biscuitbaby2218 you seem to know your body which is good, you know it so well you’ve conceived twice despite all the odds, that’s fab!!!

👋 please can I join in? Im 9dpo tested this morning - super early right? It was negative. I am so eager as I am sure everyone is!
I am wondering now when to test again, what's everyone else's thoughts?
Anyone else similar timing to me? Xx

Hi 👋 @Orangeroses243 welcome! We are still a small group and I think you maybe ahead of us in terms of DPO. I’m currently 5DPO and counting and hoping to wait til missed AF which is like next weekend aaaahhhh!!!!

9DPO maybe a little early, maybe wait a few days til like 12DPO if you can, I know it’s super hard.

We are here trying to sit tight but so hard already. How have you been trying to keep busy the last 9 days?

@Chikas thank you! ❤️

I know its best to wait isn't it!

I think I am going to try and wait till missed AF now. As I felt disappointed this morning but its still so early. I know some people do show an early positive so I was just being hopeful 😅😟

I have a 10 month old little girl so I am always busy but doesnt stop my mind from over thinking..after all a little baby is a sibling for her 🥰🥰

What avout you how are you powering through? X

@Orangeroses243 welcome !! You’re definitely not out yet !! 9dpo is still super early 😊 sometimes implantation can take up to 10dpo which I’m sure you know ☺️

fingers crossed for you this cycle!

i find evenings the hardest in the Tww, I’m trying not to be a symptom spotter and googling every little thing this cycle 😂 had myself CONVINCED last cycle ! I’m watching a lot of Amazon prime and Netflix in the evenings to keep my mind from getting ahead of itself 😂 currently watching ‘on call’ on prime it’s doing the trick keeping me distracted tonight !

Yah defo try your hardest to keep busy and it’s good you’ve got a little one to keep you occupied.

This group is helping me in trying to keep testing at bay. I’m also watching telly.

I saw something on social media where a nurse was saying you shouldn’t BD one week after ovulation. Apparently it aids in implantation. Not sure how true this is. So many opinions, fads and advice. Can’t keep up.

lol @Biscuitbaby2218 symptom spotting is REAL, I think we have all been here. Month before last I was so convinced I was pregnant I dragged hubby to A&E as I had convinced myself I could possibly be having an ectopic. I’ve had one in the past so it’s kinda one of my top ttc fears. Doc’s took tests and confirmed I wasn’t even pregnant 😌 I blame FRER tests these days have like this line that comes up which can be super confusing. Anyway we laughed about the whole saga over Sunday dinner. Being a woman is a different ball game entirely.

Morning ladies ! How are you all feeling ? My bloating is extreme today!! Progesterone is kicking my butt apparently cause I feel like if I even drink a sip of water my stomach might explode 😂 anyone got any tips to bring this bloat down ? Also I’m 5dpo so fully aware it’s not baby related 😂 definitely hormones but I genuinely feel like that pig goes pop board game 🤣 I’ll be rolling my way to take the kids to school today !

Morning ladies - currently 7DPO today and halfway through season 3 of Greys Anatomy lol!

The only symptom I have is disturbed sleep which is quite unusual for me, my husband is unwell at the moment and snoring loads so this is probably what it is..

@Biscuitbaby2218 sorry to hear about your bloating ☹️ I have felt a bit 'sausagey' the last few days - do you drink any sort of herbal teas like peppermint or chamomile? I am wondering if that may help.

I’ll give the tea a go ! I do enjoy a herbal tea ☺️

Don’t drink chamomile ! Not safe for pregnancy, make sure you look up whatever you drink is safe!

Hi! I'm 8dpo, think I'll test Friday at 10dpo. Not holding out a lot of hope as it's only our first cycle back trying again.

@Biscuitbaby2218 peppermint tea always works for me 😊

Think I’m ovulating rn! Had ewcm yesterday and the day before, we tried last night and it’s our first time trying so I’m defo symptom spotting this morning lol, thinking I feel something in my lower belly. We had an unplanned pregnancy a little over a year ago that we lost at 9 weeks, i had symptoms 2 days after conception and knew I was pregnant because of the symptoms (just had to wait to confirm) so ill definitely be looking for things lol trying to remind myself every pregnancy can be different and just chill out!!

Afternoon ladies, hope you’re well.

I didn’t know that about camomile - will bare in mind.

Im 6DPO today and time has officially stood still.
