The dreaded 2 week wait...anyone fancy joining me?

I'm losing the pregnancy girls . I've started bleeding and it's red. Bloody devastating but at least it's very early I suppose. I don't rely understand chemical pregnancies but I assume this is what this is.

Ooh good luck vicki and jenfer. Can't believe how well you are holding off testing jenfer!

I caved again today and did another cheapie test! Think I can still see a little something - can you tell me what you think?

I made my friend do one too at the same time to rule out evaporation. Hers is totally clear!

Gonna do a first response in the morning :)

Don`t be so harsh with your husband... man are just dealing with things differently. He is probably just to scared to accept it as he does not want to get disappointed. He seems to shut off because that his way of dealing with it on his own and it seems as if he is just about to cope with it somehow let alone having extra comfort for you...

Seems as if he wants a baby a lot...

I would make a doctors appointment at around 6/7 weeks for a dating scan ( I have just booked me in) and then he can SEE the little one jumping around in your belly and hear the heartbeat.

This is a magic moment ( had it with my first one as well) and such a wonderful wonderful experience for you and your husband and I am sure he will sit next to you crying and holding your hand....

Maybe if you had a few miscarriages push the scan to toward the end...
9/10 weeks as the chances of miscarrying drop considerably after this time.

A LINE is soooo far from the real thing that it can be sometimes very abstract to realise the whole thing and it takes often for a lot of people some time to sink in.

Ans the best way is as mentioned the scan where you can see in full reality the baby on a big screen and leave the hospital string at the picture they give you so that you can say over and over again . WOW I can`t believe it! :-)

I am due on tomorrow or Saturday... The spotting has stopped now... Boobs are still tender... I felt horrid this morning before I left the house for work... Stil getting nausea. What annoying is that you can look for. Symptoms and convince yourself you are... I am not testing until after AF is due now...

Congratulations to those with great news!
How very exciting!
Today I'm 3 days late. I've not been late in 15+ months of TTC. I feel strange today. Tired, nauseous, off my food & cups of tea. No sign of AF. I took a test yesterday morning (day 2) and the night of day 1. No BFP yet. I'm hoping tomorrow morning will have one for us! It's sending me crazy. Wish me luck ladies, & good luck to all of you waiting xx

Thank you so much guys xxxx

Decided to tell Mum last night via whatsapp. Oh it was so funny, you could hear the penny slowly dropping as I starting giving her information. I

Istarted by saying are you near the calendar as I want you to clear a day in September. She was all 'but that's ages away!!' And I said, yep, about 9 months. So she writes 'And!?????? What now?' And I said, I'll be giving birth hopefully, and she wrote, 'how do you know that??!!!' Errrm because I'm pregnant lol. Was so funny!!!

Awwww! So happy for you sebsmummy! Brilliant news!

Congrats sebsmummy!

Af due in 6 days for me. I feel less hopeful today though. Boobs have settled down a bit and having looked at my dates again I think the chances are pretty slim.

Make that 29th Jan.

Congrats sebsmummy!! Brilliant news! Hope your DH feels very guilty now! You must be so pleased!

How long do the rest of us have? I'm due on 30th Jan so feels like a lifetime. Though as I have a long luteal phase I could test a few days before. :D

Awwwww, Congratulations. Although you knew it anyway noone can argue with a digi. Shame he's not home tonight.

I'm 3 and a half weeks after my first af.. of trying ttc after first miscarriage in nov..
2nd cycle due yesterday... no sign yet, but no symptoms of pregnancy yet either.. no sore boobs or anything :( taken first test on friday if no sign of 2nd cycle... the wait is killing me too!!
I just hope this time it hapoens for us! why does it have to take soooooo long!

Well I peed on a digi and it confirmed I am 1-2 weeks pregnant .... In WORDS!!! So he accepted it lol and apologised. He is out tonight at a work thing so I don't really feel we've had a chance to celebrate, which is a bit disappointing.

@sebsmummy sorry, went to work and just got home. Yeah, it was very very hard going through that alone... Especially the day it happened. DD was with me though, although she was pretty shell shocked and didn't really know what the say and do. She's 18 btw.

On a lighter note... The spotting as stopped now so deffo not AF.

Has your DH come round yet?

Has anyone else experienced weird pains in the general ovary area after ovulating? My AF is due after Friday (as I mentioned before - v irregular cycles) but I have had a few painful twinges all week and today have had a particularly 'sore' feeling in the area I guess is around my left ovary/fallopian tube. Any ideas?

I have other symptoms that could be either because AF is on her way or pregnancy (such is life!) but this is something I have not had before.

Welcome to all the newbies xx fingers crossed we see some more bfp's in this thread xx

Hi from one Jennifer to another

I know what you mean. My hopes were raised last month when j got a very slow AF. Because my friend had a full period whilst pregnant, it raised my hopes. I've also been putting off having an X-ray of my tubes at the women's hospital. For the last couple of months I've OVU'd around the time of X-ray, and also just in case I am pregnant, but still have a period, as it can damage the embryo.
I hadn't realised how tough this TTC business would be.
Still no AF for me. My cycle is 25 days. I'm on 27. Today has been the worst waiting game. I hope that some of you have received great news today! For those if you that haven't, back on it! Xx

Yes, I find it really difficult to draw the line between what is "spotting" and what is plain old AF. It always starts with just a tiny bit and increases gradually so it's really hard to say for definite when AF starts. So currently I'm still holding on to a little bit of hope but really think it's unlikely. Also, a couple of days ago I felt pregnant (nausea, really super sensitive nipples and boobs) but that's all sort of faded.

I've heard that before, that lots of people conceive whilst being investigated or waiting for IVF. Unfortunately I think that has been falsely raising my hopes over the last few months.

Welcome to all the newbies.

Hi everyone,

I'm unable to state how many DPO I am as my symptoms never seem to match up (slight EWCM on CD10, +OPK on day 13). Plus i'm quite irregular cycle-wise (last few have been 26-27 days).

So i'm guessing i'm around 3-4 DPO.

Zero symptoms, nothing, zilch. But I hope that's normal at this stage

Best of luck to everyone else still waiting.

That meant to say...
I've seen a few posts about people getting their AF's and assuming they're not pregnant. Usually it's a good sign of not being pregnant, but not always...x

Btw, I've seen a few posts about periods red lurking in not being pregnant. If you truly believe you're pregnant, don't get your hopes up, but don't rule out being pregnant either. My friend had a full period while ttc. She missed her next period, when to the Docs and discovered she was 2 months gone! :) I didn't go into detail about clots though. Some say that if there are clots in it it's unlikely your pregnant. I've heard so many stories about bleeding through pregnancy, late implantation being a cause etc. Something to bear in mind xx

Hi ladies, can I join in on your tww club! I'm a newbie on here. This is my second post & I'm feeling a bit stressed today! I was due on the 13th and still no sign. Tested last night BFN. This morning first thing BFN! Ahhhhhhhh! I need kalms lol. Good luck to you all. Something must be up, because I am never late. Only ever early by one day max. I've been hungry, tired, palpitations, jelly legs, but still so scared I'll be disappointed Good luck to you all waiting xx

Aww it was the only name that we both really liked. I had an Irish colleague (very handsome) with the name and i thought it was so lovely and liked how it could be abbreviated to be cool during school and Uni but kept long to sound all sophisticated if he goes on to become a barrister unlikely

Morning all,

I hope that af stays away Jennifer!

Men are all the same (huge generalisation but heyho) my husband only thought it positive when there was a dark line or I got a positive on the CB digital. I think they're frightened of entering our world of hormonal turmoil - as clearly they don't live it all month and go through the ovulation testing, symptom spotting etc.

Anyway, it's definitely positive so congrats SebsMummy! I have a little boy called Sebastian too! Fab name. He is 1 and a half and currently trying to pull my phone away, little munchkin

Oh no Jennifer. Hmmm, you're not out until you get full flow AF, I really hope she stays away, but agree that if she doesn't you at least have the appointment to focus on and see what the options are. I hear of natural conceptions taking place regularly on the run up to IVF starting. I wonder if we just totally calm down and almost relinquish all control and angst over the situation.

Glitter I did do a test and it seems very very slightly darker to me. Really marginal though.
