August 2ww and TTC thread 2018

So I am FINALLY in the 2ww! Only took 27 days for me to O (sarcasm)! I ovulated today for sure. Yesterday I got blazing +opks and we did hurry up fr where dh released on his own and about 2 hrs later we had our attempt. No lubes, no rephresh, no j & d bc I knew his sperm count should be super low already with hurry up fr. It was super painful in my pelvic area too! Not at all pleasing so at least I didn't have the big O! Haha. Well then today we dtd but with pulling out and it didn't hurt at all! Just another confirmation of o for me. So glad to finally be in the 2ww! Hopefully I will wait at least a week before analyzing every twinge and cramp 🤣 GL to everyone else who is in the 2ww! Hope we all get our desires from this cycle ❤

Yay. Fx for everyone. Got the smiley on Friday afternoon. And just a few hours later at about 4, I had thee worst ovarian cramp I've gotten in a long time. I was in so much pain I didn't move from the spot I was standing in for like 15 minutes. I was terribly sore and crampy all night. I didn't realize you can ovulate immediately after the first positive. Because then bd happened after ovulation. Temps went up this morning so tomorrow if it's high again it will confirm O. I guess I'm 1 dpo. Not really thinking anything happened... I guess I'll see next week if I am curious at all. Honestly, i just want to stop the diet. I just want a big tuna sandwich with some really spicy chips. Im only extra strict about the crystal light to keep ph of my body low this week. Does that make sense or not make a difference. Aspartame scares me. I actually wouldn't touch that stuff if you paid me, before this. And last two times I swayed, I had MCs. Wondering what y'all are doing in the 2ww. Anything more strict?

Don’t stop diet in 2WW- stay the course until you are for sure prego.

We had 2 failed sways which resulted in a miscarriage & DS3 who I just love to bits despite being very sad throughout his pregnancy after the miscarriage & experiencing some GD along the way. I was/am still keen on another baby & have been slowly getting hubby on board - he hasnt said yes but he isnt saying no quite so vigourously either. DS1 has autism & DS3 is also showing some early signs so having a girl is definitely the key to reducing our risk any further. I have even been talking to fertility clinics about the possibility of IVF next year.

Our risk of pregnancy is low but I am having those oh so familiar symptoms. I havent been brave enough to tell hubby yet. Im freaking out at the thought of having 2 kids 18months apart.

My period still hasnt returned yet, Im still breastfeeding a lot day & night & hubby didnt finish & withdrew so I know the risk of pregnancy is so very very low but I cant help this very familiar feeling. tomorrow will be 12 days since we BD so I am going to pee on a stick & hope for the best.

Hi KC- I think I remember you from TTC in 2016. My LO is 14 months old and I had phantom symptoms that I was prego a few months ago too, before I had even gotten a period. I went so far as to test too but negative. I think it might have been wishful thinking for me. I stopped BF about 5 weeks ago, finally got a period and now I am actively TTC.

Can I ask what early symptoms you think you see in your 10 mn that would suggest autism? Or what signs you saw in DS1. You can private message me too, but if you don’t want to share I understand.

hi girliecat :) its nice to see you back and your going for number 2 :D are you swaying?

good luck to everyone waiting to test :heart:

So I am pretty sure I ovulated yesterday but my temp only rose .35 today. It was 97.33 yesterday and 97.68 today. Those two temps are reliable bc I slept all night. My temp Friday morning was super low but my toddler had me up from 3-5 am and the temp was taken at 645 am so not much sleep! Here's my chart, please let me know what you think!Attachment 40226

That looks great to me. That's what mine normally looks like. But i am not a pro at this.

Does anyone know when we can BD again when in the 2ww. I assume after confirmed O. What about orgasms. Do we wait till after 2 ww so it doesnt change the ph?

Just ate restaurant food that i would never have eaten on the diet but i didn't eat anything else all day for it. Probably over the protein and way over sodium for a normal person....

My lowest temp is not reliable b c i was up a lot that night and only had an hr and 45 mins of sleep before temping. So we're you saying your temp rises sort of slow like mine did (the Saturday and Sunday temps)?

Hope my toddler let's me sleep thru tonight and tomorrow night so I can have an accurate reading! He's been getting up around 2 or am lately.

HDP looks like I am 3 days behind you! Since I should O tomorrow and Sunday would be 1dpo. GL! Hope we both get our pink bundles from this cycle!

Fx for you my friend.

Hi, everyone. New to posting in general and hope I'm understanding the flow of the 2ww thread. It's nice having a great group of support.

We finally got our smiley on Sat and dtd Fri late night into Sat early morning. We just got lucky our 1 attempt fell in the right window. Here's to hoping for the 2ww to fly.
