Sept 2WW

I m joining u girls for 2ww. I m thinking of checking on 9 dpo. Last time i got + on 9 dpo. Fingers crossed.
Bded last night n couldnt sleep afterwards. I was too restless thinking what if its a boy. I had a bad gd with last one. This is our last one so getting too anxious.
I guess i bded on O itself. I hope timing doesnt sway.
With my first one i had multiple attempts but with second i had one attempt on positive opk.
But my lh surge was never that dark b4 if it makes a difference or not.
I got + opk on cd16 at noon n bded at night around 12 pm
I hope its right n i still caught the egg. I had bad back pain since evening yesterday b4 bding.

Hopper i wish u all the luck hun. Fingers crossed for u

Hopper hope it's Ib!!!!

Hope it's ib hopper. Fingers crossed!
Quinn, lots of attempts is what sways boy, not necessarily the timing of those attempts. Just keep at it when you can and relax!
Good luck boyz.
Netti- I hope it is just ib. Maybe you just irritated your cervix from checking and that's causing the increased spotting?

No surprise here, I gave in an tested this morning on a cheapie--- bfn. I'm at most 7dpo, so I wasn't expecting to see anything, but I felt like testing. I want a cheeseburger so bad and a bfp would mean I could eat one with no guilt haha

Thanks. I wasn't sure if starting at 11 and going every day was too much and we'd run out by the time I ovulated on day 14. Dh is 44 so I'm sure his sperm aren't what they used to be.

Hahaa 2gentlemen i m waiting for my bfp to start snacking again if ms is going to let. I m so tempted to start my prenatals but will wait another 10 days.
My hair startec to fall due to lack of nutrients i guess.

Good luck, everyone!

Maa, I didn't get a +yes on the FRER digital until 12dpo, and I got my hint of a line on a cheapie before bed at 9dpo. Clearblue digi was + at 11dpo.

Hi ladies, catching up on the chatter here. Lots happening!

Hopper - fx that the spotting was IB! I def understand the big question mark over when you O'ed, I'm in the same boat despite getting a +OPK and have no idea whether I actually O'ed around then or O'ed at all!

MaaMaa - I was the one who had asked about your DPOs! My cycle is all over the map, too, with longest cycle before this being 39 days. Today is CD46. Nothing is happening over here - no AF and no BFPs.

I think I'm starting to lose my grip today, ladies. I've been really emotional the past 2 days and feel like bursting into tears at the drop of a hat, really depressed. I never really experienced the 2ww before but now I certainly understand the toll it takes. For those of you who have been trying for various cycles, you have my admiration. I'm so sick of being stuck in babymaker limbo over here!!! I already have less cycles per year to get preggo since AF doesn't come before CD35, I'm 32, I've read it's normal to have 2 cycles per year where you don't ovulate, and now AF is nowhere in sight. And there's only a 20% chance I'd get preggo if all circumstances were perfect anyway! I feel like I am wasting time here and just want to start at CD1 again so we can try again. [emoji26] I feel like the odds are against me and it's so cruel that my body isn't cooperating right now. I don't know who or what to be angry at. I guess
I'm just angry at myself for being wired wrong.

But so far, peeing on Wondfos has broken my spirit and I'm still praying for AF to come. I've got full bbs and pulling/pinching on my left side, plus feel dizzy even sitting down. But since this is my first time TTC I have no idea what signs to look for. Maybe it's just a cyst on the left side that's doing all this?

Sorry for long rant. [emoji53] So cranky today and feel so alone.

JellieBellie, the first two week wait is the worst!! It does get a little better. I'm temping for the first time so I'm hoping that will let me know more when I O, maybe it would help? Can you get blood work to see what's going on?

That's a positive on cheapies for me.

But the line is slightly lighter so most will say no.

Feeling discouraged today as well. :( my temp slightly went down. Looked back at my notes when I conceived my boys and I seemed to have an increase in CM and much more twingy (which these past couple of months I've had bfn I've been super twingy) but still. i feel like CM is spilling out but in my panties there is nothing!!! Anyway, that my Piti party for today. I'll be strong. Lol

JellieBellie - I just wanted to pop in and say I know completely how you feel. I struggled to ovulate as well and it was one of the most frustrating things. Whoever said the wait until the 2WW is worse than the 2WW itself. At least in the 2WW what's done is done. Please know that you are not alone and you WILL get a BFP. I remember just being so over the top frustrated. Your time will come!

Also, have you gone to your OB or someone and inquired about Clomid? That's what did the trick for me (three rounds). It gave me a new hope because I was actually ovulating at a decent time and giving us more of a chance. I'm rooting for you!

If it makes you feel any better, with my last dd, I had completely normal af symptoms and then got my bfp. I've been pregnant three times and had different symptoms every time.

The well wishes are much appreciated ladies. Unfortunately I am 99.9% sure I'm out this month. :( Bleeding has increased and is red now, not heavy like my AF usually is but I have little doubt it will continue to increase to a full flow overnight. Also cramps have slowly kicked up a notch feeling much more like AF cramps than the twingy cramps I had earlier. And BBs are fine now too. Have to admit that even with all my doubts about having had a less desirable sway this month I am really disappointed. I think I had hoped that if I got a BFP this month it would just take the whole thing out of my hands, I'm just sick of swaying and wish I could stop. Will be on LE 21 weeks tomorrow, two months of cardio four times a week at minimum, I'm more than over it now.
Am contemplating going to my GP tomorrow and telling him my AF arrived at 11DPO and with my BW this past month I'm hopeful he might rx Clomid, only downside is trying to get a last minute appointment for something thats not deemed an emergency but if I don't make the appt for tomorrow it would be Monday before I'm seen and I'd be on CD5. I'd ideally like to do 3-7 on Clomid if possible but will take what I can get obviously. I'm even doubtful he would rx it but want to try make my October attempt as strong as possible.
Have taken it easy with diet and exercise the past fortnight so will get back to hardcore from tomorrow. Oh the thoughts of it :(
One question girls, I haven't done OPKs this cycle as I felt they were so stressful when ttc our boys but after this cycle being so all over the place and not having a clue when O was cause my EWCM was all but non existant I'm wondering if I should use them next cycle. WWYD?

Hopper I don't think I could Not use opks lol. In saying that I found the dip tests super stressful. I bought some internet cheapies way back in March to start using and get an idea cycle wise for preparation for June. Got one positive out of 49 tests. Moved onto the dual digital and its nailed it every cycle since. Had dramas one cycle where I bought first response dip opks for continued testing, kept getting positives in morning, negatives in afternoon this went on for four days. So my recommendation would be if you want to use opks but not have the stress then use the cb digitals - I also like that they use fmu, no need to worry if urine to diluted etc :)

Hey hopper hugs im still seeing some spotting im hopeful its something else or irritation i caused but im now get AF cramps too. I would certainly use opks. I O cd16 the cycle before and cd 22 this past cycle. So if i relied on my body alone i would probably miss it altogether. This last cycle using them was pretty stressy as i had a whole week of waiting before i actually got something.

FX jelliebellie

Quinn it could darken up tonight but id say likely tmro. I had a few days of tests that looked like that so you never know

Best of luck boysboys

Thanks for the support ladies xxx

Where are you mammacass?

Tested using a frer and BFN at 10dpo. Not sure if i will test tmro, will see how the day goes but i have a feeling af will arrive



Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

Thanks pbn and netti! I was looking at some CB digital ones online so must pick them up. Tomorrow is pay day woohoo!! The less stress the better but actually want a shot at catching the egg! Am still so hung up on timing though it supposedly does not sway. Still can't get my stupid brain to believe that lol.

Sorry to hear you got bfns today netti. I'm hoping it's just still too early and you get that wonder bfp tomorrow. I have posted in the Oct thread but will continue to stalk for bfps here ;)

Am currently in the bath with a cold beer! It is blissful!! Went to the toilet before hopping in and had some super weird globs of dark brown and red discharge when I wiped. Really sticky and stretchy, not like clots cause I generally have super heavy (need medication to help me!) periods so would see them often but never anything like this. Being honest it was more than a little like my mucous plug when I went into labour on DS2! Still cramping, AF not heavy like anticipated but I'm putting everything down to the fact my cycle was a LOT shorter than ever so maybe it will be less heinous than usual!! My stupid stupid brain still clutching at straws when there is next to no hope. I wish it would just start up properly so I could move on from this cycle.

Sorry Netti :( have you had anymore spotting?

Sorry to hear hopper and Netti.

Jelliebellie sorry you are feeling down :( I too have long cycles and the thought of waiting another month after AF arrives is very deflating

Good luck boyzmummy and boysboys

I am also BFN this morning at 10DPO and had a little spotting, feeling out too [emoji17]

Is it really bad to test with an OPK first thing in the morning? I really don't want to hold my urine for the whole morning!

[emoji17] this is my third cycle using opks and they've been positive on 14 and the 13 so I'm not really sure when I'll O. I'm temping for the first time this month. So should I dtd 12 and 13 or just wait until day 13 before we drive up north? Sorry, I'm so paranoid!!

If you are swaying boy, the more attempts the better but atomic recommends at least 3 I think...

Was NEVER like this before, we were ttc with opks on our boys so I just KNEW I was pg then. This cycle has been on big question mark and I am clueless about when I Oed so feel totally lost and in limbo. Time will tell. Not counting myself out but never had IB on the boys so have NO clue what it looks or feels like or when it can appear. Argh, I'm going for coffee with my mother and the boys hoping it will take my mind off the whole thing!!

Quinn multiple attempts for blue is definitely the way to go. Fit it in whenever wherever and you are surely gonna catch that egg x

Netti hun, sleep tight. Sending tonnes of pink bfp vibes your way x

IB is brown or pink... never red. So, brown could be good! :fingers:

Timing doesn't sway... attempts do. This is my BD record with my pregs. My DD and one son both were O BD's BUT my with my son it wasn't the ONLY attempt! :finger: for you!

Maybe talk to your doc about clomid?? It sways girl too... Atomic considers it the gold standard of swaying or something like that. I took it because my cycles were long too! :fingers:

I never did a hold for OPKs for ovulation and never had an issue with the OPKs missing my surge. To me the whole idea of don't use FMU BUT do a hold just seems weird to me, lol. To each their own though ;)

Thanks ladies

Pbn its only been there when ive internally checked CM. But last cycle has me so damn paranoid with my LP that i feel shes going to drop at any minute. My app says Af is due over the wkend based on average 12 day LP.

DH is having a bbq tmro and i have annual leave and whilst i wasn't planning on drinking it would be good to know either way as I always work Saturday nights.

I don't even have any symptoms atm and ive banned myself from checking CM lol.

I have busy day planned anyway with mopping floors and grocery shopping yeyyyy lol

Do you ladies think this will be positive this evening?

It depends. In my case, no. My opk looked like that on CD5 and I still don't think I've O'd yet and I'm on CD14 today! My true positive is when the test line is darker than the control. So for you it could be tonight or in several days. What CD are you?

Sorry that there were no BFP's today/yesterday....Crossing fingers that they will start to show up soon xx

FF has given me my crosshairs today, but I'm a bit confused with the coverline - I thought it was supposed to sit where your 'average' temp before O was? No? It just looks high to me, I can't see my temp staying up that high until either a BFP or the next cycle? :think:

Attachment 27564

Lol 'googling bfn at 10dpo'.

Theres still hope ladies just like you say. I will try and be positive until this ugly witch arrives xxxx

Immi-- that looks right to me! My coverline is usually right above all my pre-O temps. It's what separates the pre-O temps from the post-O temps. It's usually just my AF temps that end up being above the coverline sometimes, but that's totally normal and why some people don't even temp during AF.

Thanks Essnce! That makes sense. I think a few of my previous charts have had the cover line go through some of my pre-O temps so that is why I thought it was an 'average' etc :wink:
