Jumping on the crazy train for the first time... ALL ABOARD FOR THE 2WW!

339 replies

WaitingTillJuly17 · 09/07/2017 20:09

Firstly I must apologise to all you mumsnetters... I've been a lurker for a while and have never understood the craziness surrounding the 2WW until today! Have literally just ovulated yesterday on our first round of TTC and I've already been symptom spotting/furiously checking and rechecking my calendar and Ovia app like a pro!

Logically I know that there is literally no chance of any symptoms yet and DEFINITELY no need to POAS for the next 10 days at least, but there's another (much louder it seems) part of me that keeps thinking that the reason I'm so bloated/gassy (seriously what is up with that?!) or keep dropping my keys/knocking everything over or these cramps are obviously due to the fact I must be pregnant 🤦🏻‍♀️.

So to stop me going completely around the bend, I thought I'd ask if anyone is due to POAS around the 21st of July? If so, do you want to wait with me? All those who have done this before, feel free to leave me tips on how not to think about this 24/7!

I'm so sorry for your loss Molly I hope you get your rainbow baby soon ❤️.

You're far more patient than me LMX0 hopefully the spotting is a good sign. Not been too sick these last few days, mostly just tired.

Hellsbells I hope you get some answers soon! I can't believe AF is soooo late with no BFP!

Sorry for the radio silence. No AF, Multiple BFNs, just on my way to doctors for a blood test. Will let you know how I get on xx

Mollybear12 · 01/08/2017 10:04

Hi , no it's not my first try,

We got pregnant first time trying in January and lost him at the 20 week point, was awful, I'm still not over it,

I then got a positive last month did a test after being a week late, then 2 dahs later came one, the dr said it was a very early miscarriage I think it sounds like a chemical to be fair,

So as we were both gutted , we realised we need to try again, so here I am, my husband has actually gone away with work now till the 18th, af is due the 12, but I prob won't wait for him to the test lol xx

LMX0 · 01/08/2017 09:40

Im in two minds atm either test after 1 day late or wait until 7 days late? As last 2 months ive been 4 & 5 days late. Im really trying not to symptom spot but its so hard!! Ive had a little bit of spotting which ive never had before but trying not to read into it!!
How are you waiting? Hows your sickness?

LMX0 · 30/07/2017 09:26

Sometimes it wont show until your late or could have been late ovulation/implantation no try not to obsess to much i know very hard not too enjoy the rest of the weekend n take your mind of it

boowaitingforbaby · 30/07/2017 07:31

@WaitingTillJuly17 no, I did it 4 days early so I'm not due till Monday. Nurse @ gp gave me another test to take on Tuesday if late but I'm trying to accept that it's negative so i don't obsess 😂

Oh no Boo has AF arrived yet though? Maybe there's still a chance?

I hope everything's ok Hellsbells maybe it's just a slow starter? Let us know how you get on!

LMX0 · 29/07/2017 12:17

LMX0 you boarded the train but you didn't know where we are going, does that mean we abducted you?! 😂😂😂

HellsBells this must be driving you around the bend! Will you see your GP next week if you still have no news?

Hellsbells35 · 27/07/2017 21:53

@LMX0 I love how it took you 10 pages to ask what 2WW was Wink

Daily update: BFN, no AF...boobs seem bigger. Feel sick and tired. Have felt like this for a whole week now.

Off to a beer festival Saturday. So I hope I know either way before then.

LMX0 · 27/07/2017 21:45

Ohhhh makes sense now 😂 thanks!!!!

HolyShmoly · 27/07/2017 21:00

It's the two week wait between ovulation and BFP/AF.

LMX0 · 27/07/2017 20:51

Sorry what does 2WW mean?

WaitingTillJuly17 · 27/07/2017 20:33

Oh no HolyShmoly glad you're keeping positive! I imagine a holiday will keep you nice and relaxed, maybe that should be a rule for everyone in their 2WW 😆
