I might possibly be starting/about to start my first ever 2ww, which is so exciting!! Based on my fertility friend calendar I've been doing for 6 months this is the first month we've BD'ed during my possible fertile window and the next day I had right ovary pain/twinges, also have them today, which I usually have them every month around ovulation so I'm hoping it's a good sign I ovulated right after BD'ing. Fingers crossed!! Anyone else experience this??

    Good luck! My biggest piece of advise is not to think about it. Try not to think about what the signs of pregnancy are and look for them in you. I've been trying for a year and when I think on it a lot and get signs of pregnancy. And with PCOS you tend to get some of those signs, you end up very dissapointed. I've been trying for a year now and the last 4 months I was good each month didn't cry when I got my period. But this past month because it was my first month of clomid when I got my period I went back to that dark place.

    I live my every day life like I am pregnant (No alocohol no artificial sweetners, and no sandwich meat).

    That's my best advise to you. Good Luck and enjoy the process of trying! And by enjoy I mean enjoy the Sex and even have some tiems where making a baby isn't your #1 goal.

    PS I have found that a stability ball makes putting your legs up much more comfortable!

    Good luck to you! I agree with WifeofPJ, it's easy to go crazy symptom spotting. But it is also exciting. I've had seven or eight 2ww where I'm pretty sure I ovulated, and the disappointment is always worse if I let myself read too much into regular PMS symptoms. Sending positive thoughts your way!!!

    And I'll have to try the stability ball thing :) Seems much easier than the wall lol.

    Thanks for the support and advice! I just started college classes last night so I'll be pretty distracted the next couple of weeks, so that will help. I haven't taken college classes in over 5 years so I'm trying to get back into the swing of it lol. I don't know any pregnancy symptoms except the morning sickness and I'm not looking them up for the same reasons you guys stated. I'll drive myself crazy!! We aren't actively trying to get pregnant so I won't be too down if I'm not, I just saw we had a small shot and thought I'd share since I don't want family or anyone to find out just yet. lol Also why no sandwich meat??? I've never heard that.

    That's great that you are taking some college classes, and smart move about not finding out the other pregnancy symptoms. When we started I didn't know I had PCOS so I did so much reading up on pregnancy symptoms and it has definantly contributed to my disapointment int the past. To answer your qeustion about the no sandwich meat I included below a little part of an artical about sandwich meat during pregnancy.


    It's not safe for pregnant women to eat deli meats (such as ham, turkey, salami, and bologna) or hot dogs unless the food has been thoroughly heated and is steaming hot. These foods can cause a form of food poisoning called listeriosis.

    Listeriosis is caused by a type of bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes. Heating deli meats until steaming hot will kill the bacteria if it's present.

    Listeriosis is especially dangerous during pregnancy. Most people don't get sick when they eat food contaminated with listeria. But healthy pregnant women are more likely than other healthy adults to get listeriosis and are more likely to become dangerously ill from it.

    The flu-like symptoms of listeriosis can sometimes advance to potentially life-threatening meningitis (infection of the membranes covering the brain, with symptoms such as severe headache and stiff neck) and blood infection. Contact your healthcare provider if you're pregnant and you develop any of these symptoms.

    Sorry girls! I've been so busy lol. I was expecting to AF yesterday but no sign of it yet. I was really nauseaous for 5 days about 6 days past ovulation then it went away and I've just been having very tiny cramps/pains maybe once or twice a day. No other abnormal feelings. I'm to scared to test incase I've messed up ovulation date and such so I'm waiting a few more days. Fingers crossed!
