Anyone else starting their 2ww?

Hi all

I think I am 2dpo and think AF is due 4th Feb so 13 days until I will be testing, if AF doesn't arrive.

I know it's not really possible to have symptoms this early but I have had frequent urination, excessive saliva and a slight metallic taste in my mouth today. I think it must be all in my head, because I don't remember having these symptoms the last time I had a BFP (which ended in an early m/c).

Is anyone else just starting a 2ww?

Never give up Kate, just be strong and let your body rest and wait for next period, and go at it again. I know how you must be feeling right now and it's awful - what is with this week being so rubbish???

HopefulKate1980 · 28/02/2016 17:41

Thanks girls. It's so tough. I feel devastated. I don't think I can go through this again. It is so physically and mentally draining. All last week I couldn't concentrate at work as I was so tired and feeling sick, so now I am going to have to explain to my boss why there isn't the documents she is expecting tomorrow. I tried to do some work today but haven't been able to concentrate. Why can't there be some luck? It is such a f*cking struggle and I have had enough.

I'm so sorry Kate. It's the last thing I wanted to be right about. I'm not surprised it's bought it all back for you. Sending you Flowers too.

I tested too early yesterday Lily and got a BFN. AF is due on Thursday so going to wait until then before testing again. I had a few little spots on my face when I woke, which I tend to get before AF, so know it's on its way! No other symptoms to report.

Thanks girls for your replys - I'm over the initial shock now so feel but better. Had a massive sob though.

Kate - am so sorry :( what another rubbish thing to go through! I know it's annoying for you to wait again :( sending you Thanks

Shopaholic - how u feeling? When did u say you can test or are you waiting?

HopefulKate1980 · 28/02/2016 17:01

Oh god lily I'm so sorry. That's the last thing you want to hear. I echo shopaholic though, we will get there soon & our little ones will be all the more special for it.

You were right Shopaholic, it's a chemical pregnancy. Woke up this morning and passed a big clot of something & it's been heavy heavy bleeding since then. I guess it tried to implant but my womb lining wasn't ready after the MC. It would have been a miracle as I haven't had a period since October and my womb must still be recovering. So... It's been a very tough day here too. My Boyf is treating it like its a period & it was a false alarm but in my mind it's more significant and it's just brought back all the pain of the proper MCs. I haven't got out of my pyjamas yet!

Oh Lily. I really feel for you. Baby bombs always seem to drop at times like this. How you feel is normal, but don't let it ruin your day. It will feel like people around you are getting pregnant without even trying. That's their journey. Ours will mean even more because we have struggled to get there. And get there we will!!

Just had the worst baby bomb from one of my best mates who couldn't tell me she was pg. plus she had an abortion because they decided they didn't want kids but now seem to have changed their minds. I'm not having a good day :(

No other symptoms *Kate', so not holding out much hope. And the nausea lasted for only 10 minutes. I convinced myself that I would be strong if the test this morning was a bfn, but I just burst into tears. And as well as being sad, I am starting to feel angry again, which is so annoying, as thought I had started to make peace with it all.

And I completely understand the obsessive need to keep testing, and it must be so frustrating for you. I hate to even suggest it, but could it be a chemical pregnancy? I really, really hope it isn't. We deserve some success. I hope that you don't have to put on too much of an act in front of your parents.

HopefulKate1980 · 27/02/2016 15:58

Oh no Shopaholic that sounds like it could be a sign? Any other symptoms? When did you get symptoms last time?

I have been driving myself INSANE today. I went out and bought myself some First Response tests and got two positives. Then convinced myself that they were just evaporation lines so did a little test using a cup of water to see if a line came up... and of course, it didn't. Stupid test. I am dog tired and am bloated but I am also spotting again so WTF?!

No idea what is going on. My mum & dad are coming round shortly (they live in Edinburgh so don't see them often) and trying desperately to wipe away my swollen eyes from the tears so I can put on a happy face. Very hard today though.

You're right Kate. I threw up some food today but that might have something to do with comfort eating a whole family size- packet of crisps Blush. The last time I remember throwing up like this was a week before my bfp in Dec. Trying not to read too much into it and have promised DH to not test until AF is due. I have barely left my bed today. I feel so down.

Don't apologise for ranting. As far as I know you can't get false positives so maybe the negative ones are false? Are you using the same brand? Testing at the same time of day. There is nothing to do unfortunately but wait for AF and test again if late.

HopefulKate1980 · 27/02/2016 11:48

Shopaholic try and keep the faith. 10DPO is early isn't it??

I am going OUT OF MY MIND today. Forgive me for the rant that is about to ensue!

I have had faint positives Wedns, Thurs and Friday this week. Today I woke up, had a flash of blood and got a negative test. I went back about 15 mins later and there was a very faint positive again (not as strong as yesterday). So decided to do a few more tests but they were all negative. Even the early predictor ones.

I have stopped bleeding now but have tugging on my belly like I do when I have AF. I haven't stopped crying since 630am. I am so confused and upset.

Today I am 11DPO so that would seem early to test - but why did I get a positive on Wedns / Thus / Fri???

I feel so stupid for getting my hopes up and believing I may be pregnant and now this..

Any ideas what is going on??

BFN on an early detection test this morning using FMU. I'm 10DPO, so probably too early, but I'm already convinced I'm not pg. But there's always that annoying part of me that is still hopeful. Probably won't bother testing now until AF, which is due on Thursday.

I'm so sorry Lily! You've said all along you didn't think this was your month, but doesn't make it any easier. Treat yourself to something nice this weekend please.

I'm going to start testing tomorrow, but convinced I'm out too. AF not due until Thursday. I hate the 2ww with a passion!

Oh no! I'm sorry Lily. I have just been to the GP and had a melt down on him. Oops! Those damn hormones!

HopefulKate1980 · 26/02/2016 16:35

Oh bugger I'm sorry lily. It's amazing how well we know our bodies isn't it? Really hope this is your month. Gotta have some booze though surely!?! Otherwise it's torture!! Xx

Lily35 · 26/02/2016 09:08

Girls I'm out (again) - AF is here one day early. I knew so I'm not too upset this time. Looking forward to trying again (yawn). This month I'm going to slot in a load of exercise cos I'm dam lazy! And also cutting down on alcohol!

Good luck to everyone else! Let's have a BFP soon please!!

HopefulKate1980 · 25/02/2016 21:27

Sorry! Emanne! Very sleepy tonight.

My boyfriend has come home smelling of beer, disturbed me from my little telly snuggle, and put the football on. I love him so much but this is v annoying. I'm off to bed to read.

Hope we all have exciting days tomorrow.

HopefulKate1980 · 25/02/2016 21:24

And sorry forgot to say WELCOME Amanne

Theaks · 25/02/2016 21:16

I'm not completely surprised to be honest- been 7 cycles now since last loss and getting frustrating. I would have been due on this coming Monday 😔.

Kate It is very confusing and really not fair what happens to our bodies.

Are you testing in morning lily?

I'll try but have zero willpower! I have tons of opks, so may as well start testing tomorrow. Lol Kate at your three today!

OP posts:
Lily35 · 25/02/2016 19:54

Do opks instead - cheaper and will be positive if you are pg - I know from experience !!

HopefulKate1980 · 25/02/2016 19:42

shopaholic - I must have spent hundreds over this past few months on tests and it's largely been a waste. Best to wait and plan some treats for yourself to distract yourself? So easy to say hey? I have done three today!

xx

Lily35 · 25/02/2016 19:16

Lol Kate at your post! But actually quite annoying!
Not testing again as I'm not pg - I know it. I feel to good. Saving my pennies instead of buying tests when I will know on Sat!

shopaholic85 · 25/02/2016 19:16

I'm 8DPO and still no symptoms. I said I wouldn't but I am starting to get the urge to start testing. Someone please remind me that it's way too early and a waste of money!

OP posts:
HopefulKate1980 · 25/02/2016 18:46

Sorry to ask if you have already said lily but have you tested? AF could have been defeated if you still aren't on?

I have got the worst wind!! I had to escape work at 630 because it was getting so uncomfortable! V embarrassing

How is everyone else? Xx
