JUNE 2WW

Holy cow...I couldn't keep up with that last thread and its already June! So starting a fresh thread.

Congrats on the bfp's that have popped up!!!

So I couldn't decide if we were going to ttc this cycle but in the end we did. This is our last month ttc before we wait a year.

I think I o'd either Sat or Sun...not sure. I had O pain both days which is not normal for me. Usually its just one day but I had it 2 days in a row. I wasn't supposed to O until today (Mon) but oh well.

FX this is our month ladies!!!!!

Hey! Joining in here at 1 dpo today! Hope we see a ton more bfps !

Good luck ladies. Just so you all know, I will be stalking this thread ;)

I guess I'm here too. I have no idea when o'ed. First pos opk was last tues, pos until fri when I gave up testing. I was due to o on Sunday. So anywhere between 1-4 dpo.
Angie

Good luck ladies, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!!

woohoo joining in too! I had my positive OPK at 4.30pm on friday, was a negative line on saturday 2pm so I stopped testing. Had O pains on saturday afternoon. Guessing I O'ed on either saturday or sunday with saturday looking most likely going by the pains, putting me at 3 dpo............

Hoping for lots of BFPs!

Oh, I want your 2ww to pass too, I am so eager and excited for you all. Hoping to see a lot of BFPs!

here I am again already bringing the mood of this thread down :( sorry. I am just in such a bad mood and really think I have failed again. When I went to the loo earlier I wiped and had EWCM, I couldnt believe it, it should have all gone now! My temps arent really conclusive yet although it does appear that they have shifted. A few more days and I will know for sure. The problem with possibly O'ing at the weekend and doing temps is that alcohol messes them up, hence they are not overly conclusive at the moment. If I take out the really questionable ones, a line can be drawn but there are some very close temps before and after if that makes sense. Just feeling very fed up and trying to ignore anything going on in the womb area because it would be going on anyway regardless. Cant properly motivate myself to be as good on the diet either so have decided to relax a little then start up again properly on monday. I have a hen weekend this weekend and I am bridesmaid, I am not going to let my friend down by being miserable and thinking of diets or symptoms or anything else. But even in these next few days I am really not going to follow things as strictly as normal. Not that I am that strict really I am just getting fed up. I know its not the diet or exercise thats stopping me getting PG its just luck but I am really over this TTC thing.

Steph...I had what looked a bit.like ewcm after my attempt last month all the way until my miscarriage. It's more yellow though. Major sign of pregnancy for me at least.

Also my tests are negative but I have something similar to ewcm coming today. Hoping it's the pregnancy juice. Lol

I never used to get ewcm after O it was always white and creamy. However that was a long time ago! This time I haven't got a clue what's normal. Hopefully the fact you have it now is a good sign for you :)

Been having stitch type pains and a bit of other weird pain like I'm going to O! Took an OPK just now and am relieved it's a faint negative line, really not in the mood to BD!! Praying I can reach a conclusion with tomorrow's temp! Only problem is I've had lots of liquid as I normally drink plenty when not doing opks....

Trying very hard not to snack too, can't wait to eat dinner when DS is in bed!!

Those could be pregnancy related pains. I don't believe that you don't have symptoms until implantation. I get them pretty much right away. Cramping...discharge. ..nausea...They aren't super noticeable until 4 dpo but I can pick them out if I try. I've had 4 pregnancies and symptoms don't lie for me.

Wow - I don't recall any symptoms this early last time, in fact I think I had less symptoms during my successful month than the unsuccessful ones! And I had a diary which I wrote down all symptoms (no wonder I had a boy lol). But of course every time will be different. Well I think you and I are in for a looong week. Really trying hard not to read into anything as I know how gutted I'm going to be (and planning a Nutella binge again if AF does come!!)

I'm right there with you Steph and Rosie. I'm 2 or 3 dpo, not 100% sure since I had O pain both days (very strange) BUT I woke up with a small amount of mixed CM. So I have no idea what is going on in there. :( Its so frustrating.

I don't temp ( I probably should) and OPK are so hard to read for me. So I go by cm and O pain.

How long are your LP girls? Mine is usually 7 days so I don't have too long to wait before AF is late but I don't get a BFP until much later (13 dpo at the soonest) so I have to wait to test. :(

FX that the weird CM is a good sign ladies!!

I'm right there with you, steph, on being fed up with trying to figure out anything in the womb area. I've been dtd right at +OPK for months, and still nothing. What gives? It's all so frustrating trying to figure out when O is.

I'm on cd 22 today. I think we dtd way too early to catch the egg this month, but I'm already itching to test anyway. Going out of town on a big family fishing trip and with either have a great time getting my mind off of it, or end up strangling my sis-in-law who is pregnant and going on and on about how she really wants *another* girl this time.

Fivebabies- I only started temping this cycle because I suspect a short LP, of 5-9 days. So once I know I'm going back to the doctor for help. It never used to be this short, atomic thinks it's still the remnants of BCP working their way out (I've now been off it for 6 months, had no idea the damage it would cause to TTC). She advised me to make the effort to have 4 eggs a week, full fat dairy every day ad zinc 3 times a week because I've been on the diet for 7 months. Are you able to get PG with a LP of 7 days? I'm not knowledgeable but thought you needed it to be 10 days?

Girliedreamz it's all down to rotten luck really isn't it, you can do everything right and BD at the exact right time and still fail :( hope your fishing trip is a nice distraction and your sis in law keeps her gob shut. How many kids does she have?

Steph- I know for sure that the last baby was conceived with a regular 7 day LP but I think the 2 before that were 10 day LP and I have no idea on the 2 before those because I wasn't paying any attention. :( I think I'm having hormonal issues and that's why I'm not getting PG. That's why this is our last attempt for awhile, so I can sort out my issues.

girliedreamz- So sorry SIL is being such a pill! I hate it when people throw it around casually not thinking of others' feelings...or worse, doing it on purpose!

That's good to know, fivebabies. I hope you are PG but if not, hope that you manage to get to the bottom of the issues.

I tried taking B6 to lengthen my LP but it delayed O 3 days...but then my LP was the same so I just had a cycle 3 days longer ....so it didn't lengthen my LP at all, just delayed everything.

Thanks! And I'm pretty sure I know what I need to do to work out my hormone issues: lose weight. :P I also have PCOS so that doesn't exactly help!

Sis-in-law has 2 kids from a previous marriage, boy and girl. Her daughter is a doll, and the younger of the two, so I can see why she wants sister for her to play with. She means well... but I still may strangle her. Or just push her in the lake. ;P

I so know how you feel stephk!! I had EWCM yesterday??!!? And some mild cramping and positive opk's still?!!? I have no idea what's going on and I'm fed up too. I'm constantly fighting with DH at the moment too as he is working crazy long hours and I have to go out at 11pm to pick him up for him to then come home and sit on the computer!! 😠 I'm so sure we are out this month as we only had one successful attempt a week ago (at first pos opk) and now maybe I haven't ovulated til yesterday?! It's driving me crazy.

Hmmmm....have mild cramps again today and creamy CM??

mum I think I need to come over there and give your DH a slap lol. I think you are in with a shot because at least you did BD at the first positive OPK. It is weird that you had a positive OPK again yesterday though - dont some people get these a week after O because there is a surge of estrogen or something like that?

girliedreamz - in the lake....in the lake ;)

My temp this morning is definitely conclusive and actually this is what happened when I conceived DS, I had a positive OPK on the monday and then a conclusive temp rise on the friday. This time it was a positive OPK on friday and temp rise today. I think a coverline could be drawn that puts the first temp rise on saturday though (i would have to discount monday which is 0.03 lower than one of the earlier temps), they have just gone even higher today. I dont know, I only temped that one month I conceived DS so I really have nothing to compare this to. The point is i can finally say I have ovulated and can hopefully find out what is going on with the LP so I can go to the doctor when AF shows her ugly face. Really wanted to avoid this temping business but I guess its essential!

Mumofsix-- I think you still have a good chance. I often get ewcm for up to a week before O and sometimes afterwards as well. When I got pregnant with DS2 I had NO ewcm before O and only had it for two days afterwards but still managed to get pregnant on accident! I also had yellow cm during my TWW.

He needs more than a slap lately!! And he has been staying back with just him and one girl he works with and wondered why and got so angry when I "sighed" about it, when he almost left me for a girl he worked with once before. I'm sure nothing's going on but I don't have to like that it's just them two together.

And I've been cooking dinner for him and he comes home and doesn't eat it, says he isn't hungry but hasn't eaten at work (from a guy who thinks his throat is cut if he goes 2 hrs without food!). And he is doing NOTHING at home!!! Driving me batty. 😠 I may as well be a single mum at the moment. He also said the other day that he wishes I would hurry up and 'get pregnant properly' (because the m/c wasn't properly??!) but he isn't helping that happen either! Grrr! He says these work hours are going to be like this til after the end of July! I don't know if our marriage will last that long! 😜

We were also planning on going away for a week in July but apparently we aren't doing that now because of his work! I was looking forward to a week away even though it was going to be with his parents who hate me and don't like kids. At least there would be a beach to walk along.

My opk's didn't really change to negative until today. I had one negative 2 days ago but all the others have been positive??! I've always only had about 24hrs of positives before so no idea what's going on. So frustrating. I stupidly did a HPT today too, dumb I know, and of course it was negative.

I've never taken temps before but if DH agrees to keep trying, I think I'll start next month. Is it just first morning temp you take?

Sorry, shouldn't vent here but DH is making me so cross! He missed DS5s climbathon and family lunch at preschool today after saying he would try to go, then I email him with some photos from the day and he says he will call DS5 this afternoon, but nope, no call! And now, after 9pm he calls and asks if he is still awake....Ahhh no!! I couldn't call him at all as he is "too busy" and when I try he doesn't answer so I couldn't even get DS5 to call him, but he now hasn't spoken to him all day after such an exciting day at preschool! I'm so angry! How to disappoint a 4yr old 101!

Starting to think not getting pg was all for a reason as I'm not sure another child to DH would even be a good idea right now. 😞 Sorry for being a downer! As you were. 😊

oh mum :( I am so sorry :( and please feel free to vent here about anything. He is acting like such a d1ck, does he have no sensitivity for the fact that he almost left with a work bimbo so shouldnt be working late with one girl if he can help it? What does he do for work if you dont mind me asking? Maybe there is a big stressful period coming up and he is taking it out on you (not excusing it but it could be this? Me and DH can be a bit like this) And your poor DS, he must have felt disappointed and then you have to deal with it. Hope he wakes up to what he is doing.

Re temping, you need a BBT thermometer, I use a digital one, you can get one pretty cheap in a local chemist or order online if you dont want to go to a chemist. You need to leave it on your bedside table so that the moment you wake up, dont move too far, dont get up, dont speak to anyone, just reach for the thermometer and take your temp. I downloaded an app to my phone so just input that each day. You need to take it at the exact same time each day but I dont get up at 515 at the weekend when I can help it so I take my temp and then use a temperature adjuster on WhenMyBaby - Pregnancy Test Calculator, Pregnancy Due Date Calendar - alcohol can raise temps and also if you dont get 4-5 hours sleep in a row before taking your temp this can also affect it. But as long as you are aware of this you can disregard the odd questionable temp.

Just had my third session of fertility acupuncture so I am hoping that lengthens my LP this month!

Naughty food day again today I just cant be bothered to stick to the limits today and not eating particularly healthy, pastries, pasta, garlic breads etc. Im going to relax and then get back to it on monday, I need a break from caring about being on 30% fat and 60g protein! I dont know how others manage to do 20% fat and 40-50g protein it would kill me!

I'm sorry your H is being such a jerk, Mumofsix. I'd be having it out with him, his behaviour is unacceptable on so many levels. Hugs to you.
Angie

Hugs Mum!! feel free to vent here. That's what we're here for. ;)

Only 3 dpo (maybe 4)....this is going to be a loooooong week.

I have no clue what dpo I am. So frustrating. I just figured I would start testing next Tuesday.

I have no idea either what DPO I am either Rosie. It is soooo frustrating! 😠

I said I wouldn't symptom spot and I'm convinced I won't get a BFP this month, even thinking I may have ovulated as last as Tuesday (EWCM and cramps and first negative opk yesterday) but today I have mild intermittent sharp pain on my left side??!?

So over it!

I think in your case mum it could still be early pregnancy stuff going on.
I am still getting sticky white and partially yellow discharge. I am also cramping here and there.

Ah, the "joys" of the 2ww. Infuriating, isn't it? I could be anywhere from 3-6 dpo, though I think 6 is a bit of a stretch. I'm calling the stork :P
Angie

Looking at my chart now i have a few temps in there, I think I must have O'ed on saturday, which puts me on 5dpo. Could still be wrong but I know when previously TTC I O'ed the day after a positive OPK (I do realise i have messed with my body since then!)

Trying so hard to ignore all these symptoms which would probably be happening anyway!! I have cramping like I have wind/constipation and felt a little sickly yesterday, nothing much but it was still there annoying me. I told DH last night and said next month if I go on about these symptoms he must remind me that it is normal! Last time I got a BFP 12 days after the positive OPK so I would have been 10dpo..........I know I have to hold out until tuesday but given the weekend I am going to have I will have to test on saturday and be prepared for that BFN...........that is unless I have another short LP and AF shows up in the meantime...

Can't stay away from this thread, checking in every now and then just to see if somethings going on! Days are going so slow during the first of the 2 weeks!

stephk - I hope that "annoying" feeling are good signs!

Mum and Rosie - could it be your earlier pregnancies messing up all those o symptoms, cm and stuff?

Keeping fx for you all!! Will be gone for a couple of days, but hoping to see some good news or new symptoms when I get back :-)

I know we are out (bd 5 days before ovulation). I guess symptoms are changing slightly for me. Right side of right boob is sore. I have also been getting cramping here and there, same as last time. I even had heartburn for no reason yesterday and today. Strange what the body does when ttc. Last time I had heartburn I was pregnant with my youngest.

Wow!!! Good luck Rosie, Steph, mumof six, five babies, Angie and girlie dreams hope I have not forgotten anyone! I hope to join you in a couple days ...
Girliedreamz that cracked me up!! Throw her in the lake.....awwwhh they don't mean it but sometimes people are so smug and annoying!
Steph sounds really positive to me! Will be checking in on you!
Mumof six vent away, he is being a bit of a knob to you!! FX you are pregnant sounds super promising! Xxxxx

oh, I hope they are all pregnancy symptoms!!!!

I have to break my pact with myself not to test early this month (I'm really NOT feeling a pregnancy vibe at ALL) because DH wants to have a drunken adventure tomorrow night. I'm sure it'll be a BFN, but I have to test to make sure. Sigh. I was planning on holding out to either just before AF is due next Sunday, but seeing as how my pos OPK was 9 days ago, I have to confirm no pink so I can drink without anxiety. He has no idea I'm in the 2ww, of course.

Hope to see some more BFP soon :)
