July 2ww and ttc thread 2018

Pbn: wow 2 years are such a long time. I am glad you had some fun and quality time with your family. I believe that HGmama will also test on Wednesday which is 9dpo for her. It will be tomorrow morning for me as I am US, so will be night time for me. I will test to satisfy the POAS addiction in me lol. Dont expect any line though as it is too early still. But eekkk so excited, fx hard that we will all get BFP by this weekend!!!!!

I'm gonna count tomorrow as 1dpo so I reckon we are fairly close alright. I'm gonna TRY not test at all. Easier said than done but God loves a trier lol.
Any change on your OPKs? It can turn pos so fast!!

Hopper that's fantastic you got another attempt in! Impossible to say exactly which day you oed but sounds like there's a good chance it has. I'd just count tomorrow as 1dpo as that way it should likely you are in fact in the 2ww.

Sorry I may have missed a bit! I did skim through quickly when I could but didn't get a chance to reply much. Was away with the kids at my mums and my sister and her kids had come up for a visit as well (been two years since we've been together [emoji50]) Home now though and can't wait for some testing!!! Hopeful and Shinay you ladies testing today I believe??!! It's Wednesday AM my time so may be tonight or tomorrow your time... Anyone else?

Strawberrybella thanks for updating! Hope the next week flies by! Are you getting excited?

Mom25boys how is the research and sway going? Not long till August now!!

How are our other new ladies going? My apologies I've forgotten some names [emoji17] too much time away this last week!

Hope everyone else is keeping well especially those in their new cycle waiting to get to opk testing time!

There have been a lot of posts- and we are not even to mid July yet.
I had my attempt (every 72 hours) on CD 17 and another with positive OPK at CD18. Atomic advised both due to a number of special factors (such as my age and how long I have been on the diet). Fx that temps confirm ovulation soon.
With fluctuating summer temperatures, some nights with aur conditioning, and poison ivy on my legs I might have some inaccurate temps ahead.

With my son, I distinctly remember feeling crampy and just like AF starting. Told my DH. I didn't even test anymore because I was just waiting for AF. Finally i was telling my friend that I was ready for AF to get here and be over so I'd have another shot. She told me to go home and test. Sure enough it must have been implantation. Just wanting you to know there's a chance.

I hope it is implantation cramps, but it is quite painful at times, anď i read implantation cramps should not be painful. It feels like something is twisting inside. The pain is below belly button on left side. I guess I should sleep early tonight before I overthink things and start stressing out [emoji24]

It maybe lighter when you dont hold pong enough and urine is slightly more diluted than afternoon sample. My night tests are usually lighter than 1-4pm tests as well. Also mine went kinda light to super dark, so keep testing twice a day to make sure you dont miss the surge! Pray for you to O soon!

Dont use fmu with dip tests. I wouldn't test any earlier than 11am. Also unless you have worked out that the 1-3pm timeframe isn't best for you, it is pretty much the most recommended time to test so I'd include it and then test again in the evening if it looks nearly pos [emoji4]

Hooper- yes I'll be testing tomorrow and Friday.
Shinay- my husband is still back home since im on vacation with my mom and dad. I had to sneak my test this morning. My husband's birthday is the 22nd and I would have love to give him a BFP as part of his gift.
Thanks emshe! Trying to enjoy.
Are you ladies with the preteen boys worried about such an age difference? I'm already concerned about the 4 year difference between mine. It's probably because as I'm on vacation, i keep seeing these families with several littles. They seem to be having so much fun being so close in age.
