Hi everyone! My name is Vikki. This is month number 15 of TTC #3 for me with a CP in November. I am currently 4 DPO on cycle day 20/28. I am hoping to find some cycle buddies to chat with and help the 2ww fly by!
I am 3DPO TTC my #1. I have irregular cycles and am really excited that both FF and BBT confirmed my ovulation! I'd love to keep in touch during this 2ww. I've been TTC for a year and have endometriosis.
Also, I'm a newbie but I've lurked around enough to know that "baby dust" provokes negative feelings to those mothers that had to have their angels cremated so it's typically not said.
I am in several TTC groups and never have heard of this before. I didn't mean to upset anyone. Even in this community I have seen it said several times so again I appologize

No worries. I am pretty sure we tell everyone who says it the same thing.
About to join you ladies in the TWW. Got a temperature spike and a blinking smiley on my OPK this morning! AF due on DH's birthday, so a BFP would make a pretty amazing birthday gift!
Hi there....also in my tww..just start as I am 1 dpo. This is our second time trying after a loss in January so i am keeping happy thoughts! This next two weeks will feel so long! Glad others are here to share...good luck everyone!
Just started our very first 2WW! Pumped, terrified, excited, anxious, nearly every emotion bundled up into one...hoping but not expecting to be lucky enough to hit it on the first try. Anyone else feel slightly odd about the switch from trying very hard to NOT to have a baby for the past 12 years to really, really wanting one? Oooheee- turned 30 and BAM... body and brain want babies- luckily DH is on board
@jkffx7 same thing....we werent sure when would try to have kids but then without trying we got pregnant on new years..sadly we have an earpy miscarriage but it threw us in to baby making mode....now this is something we want so bad and would never take for granted! Just started our tww as well..so excited!
Hi, I am new here, first tww, actually i charted on basis of cm only this month(not one of my wise decisions) . AF due on 30th March, good luck to everyone!!

Hi Marker we're on 17/28 and in the TWW! Not sure how cycle buddies work, but yes it is totally exciting yet time goes by exponentially slow while waiting for the early test day to roll around.
My partner has tender sore breasts, back pain, she had a bit of cramping but it is eased off. She is extremely tired more so than normal last night she went to bed at 830 pm. It's only 9pm now and she is trying to drag me to bed again, lol. (she's also using the restroom A LOT, but has been making a few BM's a day when in her normal daily life it was once a day if she was lucky) What kind of symptoms are you having?
Warning tmi My nipples itch and are getting slightly darker Having some cramping but only a couple min at a time Heartburn And in the last day nausea Also I usually have insomnia but am quite tired went to sleep early and easily last night
Hopefully I'm not over analyzing hope we all get BFP
Frequent Headaches (not normal for me) sore breasts like a burning sometimes I actually think they feel warm to the touch, crampy, bloated like a heaviness in my belly. I've also been having increased CM. I've been very tired. And not sleeping well. The symptoms have been increasing daily as well.
Just remember, the only way to know how many DPO you are is to either confirm ovulation via temping or an ultrasound. Any "symptoms" are nothing until you have a positive test. And it takes 7-10 days after confirmed ovulation for an egg to implant and begin producing HCG.
Temps are not accurate for me because I have lupus- I frequently have drastic changes in my body temp due to fevers. We've been doing this a while now, all tests confirm that the monitor is usually accurate for us. I go for bloods every CD 21 to confirm O actually happenedBand ultrasounds every cd 12 to make sure the follicle is developing. This thread was meant to keep us busy during the 2ww, not analyze what everyone is doing wrong. I have struggled with difficulty conceiving for years and I have 2 beautiful children, so I'm pretty sure something the Dr.s and I are doing is right. For us it just takes time and patience!

You have a different experience. But these threads have a tendency I spread misinformation.
Well ladies....we made it through the weekend...hoping we all have a quick week to get us one step closer to our tcc journey. I think most of us will test as soon as we can...so we can find out if we will be trying again or get our BFP! Either way enjoy the journey...its your story of motherhood...i have started a journal so i can remember this time!
Hoping I can join! I'm 4dpo. We've only been ttc for a few months but realized I wasn't actually ovulating. This cycle I finally did!! Confirmed with temp shift. So exciting!! We are ttc #1!
Re: The dreaded 2WW!!!
Fyi, we don't say baby dust here because it reminds some of their cremated babies.

CBEFM only shows that you are gearing up to O, and 'should' ovulate in the next 24ish hours.
The only way to verified with either temping or via U/S and blood work.
That's what I was trying to put out there...
