May 2WW

[AshJagla]

Really Essnce?? I didn't realize that could even happen, I thought it was generally textbook, when you feel this, this means that is happening, iykwim!
Well we kept bd'ing until the 15th, CD 22, so if that's the case I should still have a shot. My cycles are so irregular too, 28-35 days is normal but the cycle I got pg with DD2 one was 50 days!

I think if AF does show up that I'll have to start temping and testing, I haven't so far because I figured I didn't think timing was key for ttc blue, but now I see I'd like to know just so I can be sure of how many DPO I am when POAS.

Yes you'd have fertile cm for days before you O as that let's the sperm get to where they need to go and already be waiting in the fallopian tube when the egg comes.

good luck AshJagla - hope you are PG, but if you are not, maybe the temping and testing will be good anyway, as the attention to detail may sway blue for you. Sounds like you are in with a shot though

[AshJagla]

I should know one way or another soon I think, lots of symptoms. Can't tell if they are AF or PG symptoms, but I'm assuming AF. Sore bbs, irritable, exhausted, mild cramps, have lost all will to clean my house lol

[stephk]

gosh i never have the will to clean my house lol!!! 2ww is so hard because AF, O and PG symptoms are pretty much the same and its so hard not to symptom spot.

[AshJagla]

Right?! I try so hard not to pay any attention but when you're ttc you spend the rest of the month focusing on cm, signs, timing, diet, supps, etc. I think it's pretty much impossible to ignore your body after all of that in the 2ww.

I hate that my periods are irregular too because I don't really even know WHEN to expect AF, so I could be late right now, or not... which pretty much goes for the entire next week. With O spotting the 7th, I thought my very light spotting on the 17th could be implanting, even now when I think I've got all the signs for AF I have fertile CM which usually I don't get anywhere near AF. But I'm sure it's just a fluke and I convince myself I am or am not pregnant several times a day haha.

I know exactly what you mean AshJagla. I really hope all those "evaps" will turn into a BFP for you. Have you managed to wait until tomorrow to test again? Or did you cave?

Good luck,
Angie

some people apparently get fertile CM around 7 dpo - its a surge of estrogen keeping the womb lining going. It can happen whether PG or not though, its not a sign of anything. Lets hope those evap lines turn into a BFP for you, we could do with some more BFPs here!

Have you sought advice from atomic on trying to get your periods more regular? she might have some good advice for you.

We've only just started sups a couple of months ago and this is our first month really actively ttc, so we'll probably try another cycle or two on our own, but if things start dragging I certainly am going to purchase a private plan and the boy cookbook while I'm at it. I'd do it now but DH needs some convincing that it will help.

Despite super crazy cycles though, I've never had any difficulty getting pregnant. M/c was 1st month trying, DD1 was 2 months, DD2 was 1 night lol. DD2 was also conceived on what would have been a 50 day cycle given when I had to have O'ed for conception and her due date. I never tested early before either, so I have nothing to compare these too.

Angie, I tested yesterday at 13DPO with FRER, not testing again until tomorrow in hopes of something more definite.

breakfast cereal and fortified foods plus pre-natal vitamins and nutrient dense foods are the way to go for you. Eat/graze often, dont allow yourself to get hungry. Eat lots of eggs, meat, nuts, avocado, that type of thing. Making myself hungry now and i have just had my afternoon bowl of fruit and yoghurt!
