February 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

[strawberrybella89]

Hi ladies, I hope everyone is well!
How frustrating is the 2WW! It honestly feels like a lifetime waiting to take a test!
I am currently 8dpo and have had next to no symptoms - would I have felt something by now if I was going to get a positive test in the next few days? I am over thinking about the fact that I have had a lack of symptoms.
I have had a little bit of cramping yesterday and today, but all of this waiting and symptom guessing really messes with your mind!
I hope the next 3-4 days goes quickly and I can talk myself out of doing a million tests too early between now and then.
I hope some other ladies are getting some BFP’s [emoji8][emoji8]

I'm 5-6 dpo and I'm dying to test! I wouldn't worry about symptoms one kid I had nothing till 6 weeks the other I felt something at 5dpo so it's a mix up!

Aw pbn, Mara is nearly 6 weeks! Wow that has gone fast. Is it great fun picking outfits for her?
Glad to hear you are well ABC, hope your appointment comes round quickly and you can relax a little.
Can't wait to start seeing some positive tests ladies, who is next to test?
I think I'm out this month. I have to say I'm pretty sad as I was feeling really positive after all the heartbreak last month. I've started spotting and feel very crampy, usual Af symptoms. I definitely don't feel like I did when I got my bfp last month. I think I'll need a break for a couple of months now, but then I worry that I'll miss a good egg [emoji51] Really looking forward to a glass of wine so hope af decides one way or the other quickly!!!

My husband gets weird about OPKs and timing, so I have been trying not to be obvious about it. I asked him to use a little lubricant during our attempt but he accidentally squeezed out a lot from the bottle. I'm worried that it was too much and next time we'll have to figure out how to make it just a little bit. Husband can be so complicated!

Gafan what kind of lubricant are you using? Most regular lubes are not good when ttc, it destroys/inhibits sperm so you need to be using a sperm safe/friendly lube. People do fall pregnant using regular lube so its not 100% bad but you've a much better chance of conceiving using something designed to protect those swimmers. Use a sperm safe lube sparingly if swaying girl or however much you like if swaying boy [emoji4]

Hello Star, i already heard about bromelain, is it enough also from pineapple?

Noemi you can eat both the pineapple flesh and core. Approx a cup serving daily for 5 days. Either 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9dpo, take your pick. I usually did 3-7 as it was bang in the middle [emoji13]

Hi Noemi! I'll have everything crossed for you as well for your bfp [emoji173]

Are you currently doing opks? There is a rise in this mornings temp which could indicate o happened in the previous 24 hours prior to temping however without more temps to confirm a sustained rise it's only a possibility. Also going by last cycls chart you're not in the same post o temp range yet so unfortunately it's impossible to say so far. I'll keep an eye on your chart though and let you know what I think in a few days!

Noemi have you had any testing done? I'm only asking because from memory you're close to 40? I was tested and found to have low ovarian reserve which is how I ended up being prescribed clomid at the time even though I was still ovulating. I had lh and amh tested on cd3 and progesterone on cd21 (I had done on cd21 because I ovulated on cd14, you need to get bw done 6-8 days after o day)

Thanks girl! I hope we get our BFP's soon too!

My opks are getting lighter as time goes on... so id say that CD16 pm was a positive one, indicating yesterday as day of O. My temps just haven't confirmed it yet
