2ww - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

I am sorry to make a new thread if it is unnecessary but I have been out of the loop for a few days visiting relatives and I can't follow where everyone is at on my return! So I am 3DPO today, which makes AF due 29th. I O'd earlier than expected by 3 days, so I guess my cycle is still a little erratic

Thought I would let you all have a laugh at me. As I said....was visiting, along with my brother, sister, their partners and all their children to my dad's house. And then tested OPK and got a + just before we went, was sooooo mad but told DH "We have to do it anyway, can't miss the opportunity". It was like a comedy weekend....tried to BD in our room at the top of the house, and my 5 year old niece came running in to jump on our bed at 7am! Managed to make us look innocent about 1/2 second before we would have scarred her for life. So we decamped to the bathroom on the next attempt...both got cramp and painful knees and had to stop!! Eventually they all went for a walk and we RAN back to bed for the fastest baby-making session EVER!

Returned home Sunday and thought it was worth one last attempt...so (and Princi you would have been so impressed) I got into my Mrs Santa get-up and had some fun!!!

Now 3DPO and feeling so relaxed about it all. It was so difficult to even BD, we missed our opportunity before O because it surprised me early, and the chances of this being my month have got to be pretty slim....but I am still happy because it's Christmas and then A BRAND NEW YEAR! So happy to se the back of this one.

Hope you are all ok, good luck for the testing gang this week and BABY DUST to all of us xxx

Hey kelly! We are on the same cd I think. I'm not exactly sure what day I o'd but had spotting and lots of ewcm. (tmi) Anyways this "not trying" has really taken the pressure off this month and we bd'd even more! So this month I'm not reading into the symptoms because they never mean anything and I'm just going to relax. But why during the 2ww is everything on tv about babies and you seem to see all the pregnant women when you go out?

Hey Kelly, I am just about with you. I am on cd10 and have been getting EWCM for four days now. I have also been crampy and my right nipple hurts. But my chart hasn't really shown an O yet....so we continue to BD. I would say forsure in a couple of days I will be in the 2ww with ya!

hey girls, i miss you when I go away!!

Jewels - babies are EVERYWHERE i agree.....had a whole weekend (as it was my old hometown) of people i used to know asking the "no babies?" question. And thats always fun

Its unbelievable the effect that 'not trying' can have hey? I am getting myself used to the idea of a break in the New Year....not using BC but just not planning and plotting and living in the whole AF, O, 2WW life for a couple of months....not sure I dare but I think it can be so good for you....

Megss, ah well, enjoy this bit hey?! Do you use OPK or rely on the chart?

I was thinking I could test on Christmas day 10DPO! That would be such a stupid thing to do, tell me not to!!!

NOOOO Kelly don't test on Christmas day!!! 10dpo is still so early and most don't get a BFP until later. It could be a BFP and that would be the best present ever! But it also could be a BFN and ruin the day. Even if it were a false BFN, it would still ruin the day. Plus wouldn't it be fun to get a BFP several days after Christmas! It would be like an extended Christmas!

I only rely on my chart. I keep track of my CM and my temp. Last cycle it was very obvious when I Oed. I had a huge temp dip on O day and it spiked way up the following day. I got my AF exactly 2 weeks after the spike. (I thought it would be 2 weeks after the dip.) So anyway it works out pretty well for me. DH and I are just going to keep BDing until my EWCM goes away and my chart shows something. It's weird, last cycle I only had EWCM for three days and for this cycle I am on my fourth day.
