Hi I’m still on the other board so thought I’d join in here until af or a bfp arrives xxx

September/October babies here we come!!!!

ok so guys, today I am "2DPO" and i have the worst back pain this morning. yes, too early so I am blaming it on the BD and this uncomfortable chair at work.
This morning on my way in to work I called DH as I always do and he randomly said "if we where to have a girl I would like her to be named after you" cue the water works and melting heart!!!

@anna - Yes, it's nice to see the two lines, but I must keep remembering that they are false positives... Last time I got double lines was May 2018, so it's a nice reminder of how it's supposed to work. Even though these lines are faint, they come up within 5 minutes on internet cheapies. In comparison to my May pregnancy, they have the same darkness of a 12 dpo BFP.

Hoping we all get true positives this cycle! Has anyone tried acupuncture and Chinese herbs? I have been consistently seeing an acupuncturist and taking herbs for about 5 months now. She's got a wall full of baby pictures from successful pregnancies that's encouraging.

I havent done acupuncture for fertility but I have for other thing and love it!!!

I'm 6dpo and having something new for me. I'm having super white super watery cm and my cervix is really high...but open? Maybe?
Might be something or nothing.
This was my first month taking EPO for my first 2 weeks of the cycle. Thoughts?

@espence. My cm was super eggwhite and watery till about 10 dpo I believe.

I also have does acupuncture for other things and it feels amazing!!! If I could I would have it done every week.

Is it weird that i am happy to be in the 2ww? before I honestly dreaded it and felt so impatient, but right now at this very second on 2DPO I am happy to be here. Because I am filled with hope and although I may symptom spot- its pure ignorant bliss, I may or may not be pregnant.
Sorry for the added post, I think I am in my feelings (not to quote drake)

@Deecar Omg what an amazing point of view! This post of yours suddenly gave me so much happiness and made me kinda change the way of thinking about two week wait!!
“Pure ignorant bliss, I may or may not be pregnant”

@espence . I haven't tried EPO, but I believe the Chinese herbs positively changed my EWCM just prior to ovulation. We also use pre-seed which gives a little peace of mind if EWCM is not enough.

@dee My insurance covers acupuncture 80%, so I go often. I swear, if it works, I think I'll try to continue regularly even if not TTC. Also, I'm feeling happy and hopeful too at 3 dpo! I think the early part of the TWW is easier than the end. Around 9 dpo if I don't get a BFP I start getting really depressed. In all my pregnancies, if I don't get a BFP by 9 dpo, I don't get it at all. My New Year's resolution is to be more positive, so I'm going to try to keep that up through this TWW!
