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?

Yeah sounds it.
Let's think positive!
Everything will work out its just taking its time! 'Even miracles take a little time' xx

Lily35 · 16/03/2016 11:17

That's 3 X natural cycles and one FET including travel to LDN clinic. I couldn't afford that either which scares me. I think once in the IVF train the cost could snowball :(

Theaks · 16/03/2016 10:33

Goodness how many rounds did she get for 10k. Stupid amount of money!!! I couldn't afford that!! That's really scary!

Lily35 · 16/03/2016 10:27

My best friend is 6 mths with her IVF baby - she spent 10k after her NHS one failed. The success rates are not great though and that worries me too :(

Theaks · 16/03/2016 10:11

I get that! Ivf sounds quite scary! A friend of a friend had ivf and got her baby so was really pleased but the process sounded hard!

Lily35 · 16/03/2016 10:04

I'd rather try naturally (with Clomid maybe) than jump straight into IVF... If i know it can happen then id be happier - at the moment I feel like it's never going to happen again. IVF feels full on so maybe in a few more months.....

Theaks · 16/03/2016 09:57

2 years! There is no words. Are you hoping for the ivf, prob daft question but I suppose not everyone wants ivf?
We have been ttc for 18 months with 2 losses in between! Doctor said that if we don't manage to drop on we can't get any help til August.

Lily35 · 16/03/2016 09:50

I am yes. I've had all the tests and bloods etc. It took us 18 months to conceive so now been trying over 2 years :(

I think I'm going to be doing IVF soon tbh but I'll know on Friday. Or I might get more Clomid....

Theaks · 16/03/2016 09:27

It so strange how many people are out there trying and it's taking time. I work one to one with vulnerable families and it's amazing how they just look at a male and get knocked up! So frustrating!

No symptoms I don't think, it's hard to know what's normal and what isn't anymore! I'm so confused!!! Got the occasional pain in my right pelvic area but that could be body getting geared up for AF? Oh I don't know!
Lily are you under a consultant?

Lily35 · 16/03/2016 09:09

Good luck today Kate

Do you have any symptoms Theaks?

I'm feeling normally again now so nausea must have been ovulation/Clomid. I'm really tired though and still have crampy feelings. Not sure I'm feeling positive about this month anymore :(

Back to the Fertility Consultant on Friday though.

I've been lurking on a few threads as well and so many people seem to be getting their BFPs - we have to have some on here soon girls!

AnneLovesGilbert · 16/03/2016 09:08

Good luck Kate, when will you get your results and do you know what they're looking for?

Loads of bugs around at the moment so difficult to know what's causing symptoms.

Pretty sure af will be here Friday or soon, nausea mostly gone. Boobs still enormous and really painful but could be being off the pill and due af rather than a good sign. Was going to POAS Friday but think I'll wait and see what happens.

How are you doing Theaks?

Theaks · 15/03/2016 22:34

Oh good luck for tomorrow. It will be fine! Hopefully the tests will shed some light, so worth it. I'm okay with blood tests, I give blood quite regular- although not been for a while as they turned me away at Christmas as it was too soon after the mc.

HopefulKate1980 · 15/03/2016 21:47

How is everyone?

Lily - what are your symptoms today?

I'm off to the hospital tomorrow to get all my bloods done to see it there is a reason for my miscarriages. They are doing 11 tests so slightly dreading how much blood that is! I hate hate blood tests. When I was pg last time my veins totally disappeared for some strange reason & I've been scarred by the memory!!

I'm now 6 or 7 dpo - suffering with bloating and tiredness but could have a bug as my team have all been sick recently.

Xxx

AnneLovesGilbert · 14/03/2016 19:08

Okay, phew Smile

I'm getting married in June so have similar thoughts on keeping fit and trim(ish) either way, esp if not pg by then! Honeymoon = bikini.

Is the nausea better when you eat?

Lily35 · 14/03/2016 16:11

Oh and really hungry!

But all these things could be ovulation working overtime??

Lily35 · 14/03/2016 16:04

Not wanky! I bloody love reading and I'm well busy at work too. Plus I'm aiming for a bikini body for summer (if I can't be preg!!) so lots to do.

Ok here we go on symptom spotting

Very crampy!
One slightly achy nipple
Nausea
Headachy

I'm only 4dpo and on Clomid so I can't rely on any of them!!

AnneLovesGilbert · 14/03/2016 15:30

That stuff about projects and books might sound incredibly wanky, really sorry if it does lily.

This is meant to be the place for symptom spotting, go crazy, I just meant if you're wanting a distraction by all means talk about that too.

Son the 2ww, but at least we have company! [flowers}

AnneLovesGilbert · 14/03/2016 13:41

Have you got fun stuff to look forward to, that's completely apart from baby making? Maybe you need a project! Are you reading anything good?

Due af Friday so going to wait till then. Would anything show up this early?

Seeing the nurse later about something else and could ask her. I think the think is that having just come off the pill my main worry is that if I'm not pg this could be what every month is like for the foreseeable.... Sad

Oh well. Shouldn't complain about anything at this point.

Lily35 · 14/03/2016 11:53

Trying hard to distract myself this month! I get my hopes up and they are dashed each time!!!

Have you tested Anne?? I think you should!

AnneLovesGilbert · 14/03/2016 11:40

Morning all, hi Lily!

Do you want to share symptom spotting or prefer a distraction?

I'm busting out of my bra still and feeling very vom, though not actually been sick. Keep telling myself it's all in my head, and/or I'm due a horrendous AF Friday. Waiting sucks.

Hope you're okay.

Lily35 · 14/03/2016 11:32

How is everyone?

I'm symptom spotting :(

Really crampy today - only about 4dpo. Not feeling sick anymore though. I think these Clomid tablets send me a bit wappy!!

FX and baby dust!!! I really really need it this month!

FriendlyGhost · 13/03/2016 23:11

Theaks it does sound like ovulation bleeding. I've had that a few times in the past. I think I actually had it a day or two before I did get pregnant because I remember thinking when we dtd that I had missed the boat that month. Turns out I was wrong! So maybe it happens just before ovulation? Time to get busy then Grin
Anne I have one dd ages 15 months. I really want another but I'm still breastfeeding a lot with no sign of her wanting to cut down so although I've had 3 AFs now I don't know if I'm ovulating or not yet. I was hopeful something was happening last cycle but AF was just a week late to tease me so back to waiting for that to finish.
The bubble thing could be gas Kate but pregnancy definitely makes you very gassy. Fingers crossed for you!

Theaks · 13/03/2016 21:21

Did plentiful! 😊 Think it's too early for that. 😔 Thought that implantation is a week after ovulation!

HopefulKate1980 · 13/03/2016 20:58

Could it be implantation bleeding theaks? Did you DTD this month around ovulation? X

Theaks · 13/03/2016 20:09

Sounds good Kate. 😊
No had the stretchy on tues/wed. Today it was creamy and lots! Nice!!!! Then had a short spell of pink/brown. Gone now. Slight ache.
To be honest Anne I get sore boobs nearly every month since my first MC, like annoying pain. But when I was pregnant both times the aching was different- more painful and nipples that I couldn't touch. But that was just me.
