Needing some 2WW buddies.

Hi HansSolo another 23rd due date! I've got my fingers and toes Fx for you, me & apple for a trio of BFP around that date!!

I'm just incredibly bloated, feel like I've been pumped full of air and can't stop burping! Runny nose too, and a little dizzy. It's a glorious time for us all by the sounds of it.

At least it's hump day (not literally for me, anyway!! think I'm DTD out 😂)

Hello, please can I join you in your wait. I'm ttc2 and on cycle 2. I'm currently 10dpo and got a bfn yesterday. Convinced myself that it was just too early so trying to hold off testing again until my af due date which is Saturday. Really want to test again tomorrow. I have some boots cheapies in the drawer and they are calling me.

Hey HansSolo yay another 23rd due date! I feel so cosy knowing we're in this altogether .

I seem to remember with my symptoms last time it went radio silent for a couple of days and then BAM! Things started showing up from 10/11dpo onwards eg. Tender breasts, nausea, constipation, cramping etc. and with each day passing it would go up in intensity. BUT that's just me.. so could be very different for everyone else and bear in mind some women don't get even a smidge of symptoms and they find out later they're BFP.

Hopefully it'll be fun in a couple of days time when the majority of us get to around 10/11dpo onwards! Eeeeeeee!

Can I join you all please? I'm on 6 dpo and af is due 23rd Feb. I had a mmc early Jan so this is my first full cycle so not really sure if af will come when expected. Had terrible cramps all day yesterday, felt lightheaded/sick/tired and today I've had a pounding headache. Trying so hard not to get my hopes up but it's so hard!! Good luck to everyone in the same boat and hope we all get good news soon!

Hello lovelies!
I actually haven't thought about it too much today but I have noticed a little bit of period type pain again. Still 8 days to wait! Damn my long cycle!!
How's everyone else getting on?

I'm the same... symptom spotting constantly. Problem is I have a bad lower back at the moment and most of the twinges are in the same pelvic area that you'd get pregnancy symptoms. I've no idea what's what!

apple thank you. I agree - I don't have any tests anyway so I'll think I'll stick it out as far as I can go. POAS is kind of terrifying as I've never done it!

nature I'm only 6DPO but feel so bloated and burping more! I have zero appetite so had some toast for lunch and now I feel like I couldn't touch food again. I've no sore boobs either, just a spot of dizziness here & there, and no energy really. Been sneezing a little with a runny nose too, which is lovely!

tuxie11 I am actually pretty new to this whole 2WW too to be honest, this is only my 2nd real cycle of TTC but you do get easily carried away with everything! I personally would wait at least till 12 DPO to be sure (and save the POAS's ).

It really depends on each person how they would feel about when they would get their result. Some people would rather know their AF is due and that they're out for that month. I personally would rather test later eg. on the day or after my period is due. As if it's negative I don't have to have an excruciating long wait for my AF to turn up or I don't have to fear a chance of a chemical pregnancy.. but that's just me. Whichever you decide we're all here rooting together! :)

Nature how many DPO's are you again? That sounds similar to what I had before when I was pregnant. Fingers crossed for the weekend!

Today's symptoms is zero again :( ho hum..

Hi AJ8 and apple

I am too due on the 23rd! I haven't bought any tests as it's my first cycle ever (oh the naivety!) so not sure when to do it. I am 6DPO so could probably get a FRER for Sunday at 10DPO but not sure how I would feel about a BFN (even if too early) my first 2WW and it's been torturous! to all who have gone through this for so long

Hello everyone! For me, it's the 3rd month of trying to get pregnant for the second time in my life (the first one was 10 years ago and had to be terminated). No luck yet. I'm not sure when I ovulated but I assume it was around Day 14 as I usually have very regular 28 day cycles. So far I have had no symptoms out of the ordinary except for seeing a miniscule amount of blood on Day 25. My period was due yesterday so I did an HPT today but it was negative. Now I have dull cramps (normal for me) and a feeling of wetness (less so). I am really trying not to get my hopes up as I know I'll just be disappointed.

Hello everyone,

bumble and welsh, sorry to hear about the bfns, but they are early so not out yet.

bumble, keeping busy is the key isn't it? I'm surprised I haven't broken google with searches about testing. If I'm not poas, I'm googling about it

welsh, I'm so sorry for your loss. What a rubbish time you've had. 9dpo is still early so don't lose hope yet. I have everything crossed for us all.

apple it's a strange life when you're waiting and hoping to be constipated!

pingus hope you're still managing to avoid the lurgy. What you said about your dd and mat leave was lovely.

Hi AJ! Wish I'd been sensible like you. I have enough tests to rival Boots here, they are practically calling my name! Must keep sitting on my hands!

AJE84 That's great that you haven't got any tests in the house to test early! Could be useful to keep it like that . x

I'll try & hold out as long as possible. It's unlikely AF will arrive earlier than that & i can be quite irregular so I will prob test the day before - unless I have some crazy symptoms!! don't think I have any tests in the house actually! X

Oh Nature Not to worry at all, it's not the end of the world, and we're all guilty of doing similar at some point. I've been distracting myself with online shopping and cleaning/organising in my spare time! Any moment of idleness my mind then starts to wonder to the drawer of tests! (slaps own back of hands) no no I mustn't! Lol! I know many of you are waiting till Saturday (only 4 days to go!) I read somewhere that some women pee on cotton buds to quash their need to poas. Could work?? A hell of a lot cheaper .

And snap! teaandbics on the constipation.. haha :) I'm going to see if it happens again this time round.. if so it should be due around Saturday Bumple & Purple as you can clearly see.. I'm an avid symptom spotter too!! Talking of symptoms, today's is zlich.. sigh..

Pingu me too, I'm so excited for 4 days time onwards! Everything crossed for BFP's all around :)

AJ84 You're AF is due the same day as me! :) I'm either 23rd/24th. I'm also TTC#1 too. When do you plan to test?

Ah Welsh AF is yet to arrive and I think you're right about HCG being more present earlier due to the twin pregnancy (again I'm so sorry for your loss ) but I do think wait and see still, 9dpo is still early. xx

Sorry for the bfn's - I'm in the same club unfortunately. Despite my best efforts I tested this morning with a FRER and it was a very clear bfn. I'm 9 dpo. I got a positive at 9 dpo in my last pregnancy (which sadly ended in a loss) but on reflection that started as a twin pregnancy so perhaps that explains why as 9 dpo is still quite early. That said I don't feel remotely pregnant this month so feel like I'm probably out. I find the blow of af arriving easier somehow if I've tested negative ahead of it if that makes sense?

Anyway I won't now test unless af doesn't put in an appearance....well I'll not to test anyway!! Xx

Is it too late to join the convo?!

I'm also anticipating AF 24th Feb - day before my 33rd bday 😕

TTC #1 been trying more seriously since September. Trying to avoid google for the moment but who knows what will happen this week!

I did it too Nature. Tested way too early just cos I had tests in the house. And then... no surprise a BFN. I've ordered some new tests to be delivered on Friday, so I won't test until Saturday morning. Now just need to keep busy, and away from the shops, until then!! I'm symptom spotting too Purple!! The TWW makes crazy ladies of us!! Patience and good luck to us all... Fingers crossed for some bfp's at the weekend
