Current 2WW - anyone else?

Currently in the dreaded 2 week wait for second baby after being on the fence for one and done. In a snap decision, we didn’t use protection and I know I ovulated either Friday/Saturday/Sunday - we didn’t use ovulation sticks but I know I’m fairly regular…
I have mixed feelings of excitement and terror about becoming parents for the second time. I know there’s a good chance that I’m not pregnant this month, but it’s going to be a long 2 weeks.
Anyone else currently waiting?

Im waiting .. positive OPK friday and Saturday so I am guessing at 1dpo.

Good luck everyone ❤️

I’m in the same boat. We thought one and done for four years and I’ve said well let’s just go for it rather than sitting on the fence. The saying you can regret not having one but never regret having one.

The more I’ve thought about it today, the more I do hope I am pregnant. However we only DTD yesterday and I’m not exactly sure when I ovulated for certain.
I’m only going on symptoms like an increase in EWM yesterday and a very strong desire to DTD which I know could also be because of an oestrogen surge rather than ovulation.
Really keeping everything crossed but something tells me I’ve missed the window and now I’m actually quite disappointed 😅

sending baby dust to any others waiting and hoping!

But this just means you know you want to have another so you would want to try again if not. But good luck! Baby dust for you ✨

I remember I was in a few 2WW threads when I was trying for the 1st baby. Currently I am ttc'ing for the 2nd baby and today is 1 dpo. This is the 8th cycle and I feel like this 2WW is going to go fast like the previous ones. Baby dust to everyone here!

OneHeapedTeaspoonOfSugar · 25/08/2026 10:26

Also TTC’ing #2 onto cycle 5! Positive OPK 5 days ago so still early on!!! 2WW is just killer 😭 x

huawing · 25/08/2026 18:10

It certainly is a slog. I feel less optimistic today but have been keeping busy at work and solo parenting my 2 year old this evening.

Wishing you all the best of luck over the coming days as you start to test. ✨

Hi all how’s 2ww going? I’m coming up for 5dpo and apart from swollen tender boobs I have no other symptoms. I hate this part because it literally just feels like my normal symptoms !

Anon224 · 29/08/2026 12:48

Hi there 👋 im about 5 dpo, TTC #2 cycle 4, no symptoms so far, this part is so hard 🤦‍♀️ took us 12 months to conceive #1

Wishing you all lots of baby dust ✨️✨️

Vimto1991 · 29/08/2026 14:01

10dpo and still bfn. Holding a glimmer of hope that some women find a positive by 12dpo but I’m just not feeling it 😅

ttcfirsttime26 · 29/08/2026 14:12

8dpo, cycle 8 of trying to conceive our first 😩

laesosalt · 29/08/2026 15:40

7dpo here 🤞🏼

Exactly the same as me! Good luck xx

I’m 6 dpo today! First cycle properly trying for baby #1. We are both older though so conscious it may take us a while. X

Wishing you good luck also, not sure about you but I feel like i'm nearly over worrying each month nothing happens thinking oh here we go its going to be just as long/longer than last time, like the TWW isnt bad enough lol

laesosalt · 31/08/2026 12:02

9dpo with this faint line. It is pink in person and came up right away 🤞🏼

Current 2WW - anyone else?

That is great news !

Just a quick update - today is 9 dpo and I am not planning to do anything because my CBT will tell me the answer tomorrow morning. If it drops slightly, that means I will be joining the September TTC thread.🙂
This 8th 2WW definitely passed fairly quickly, just like the previous ones. I wish everyone good luck. If it doesn’t happen, that is fine too. ❤️
