Anyone just starting the TWW..?

Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

lt is rather scary @pob, you would think the tww is the only dreadful bit but the 12ww after the bfp is just as stressful if not worse. sorry for your previous loss dear and fx for a sticky bfp this time

Pob13 · 06/02/2018 15:05

@Daisy thank you for your kind words. AF is due in the next couple of days. So far, no symptons of AF or pregnancy, so who knows what is going on in there. I think I will try not to test until AF is late.

DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 14:32

@Pob13 I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm so desperate to be pregnant again but then I know as soon as I see the two lives I'll just be waiting for it to go wrong again. It's so cruel. Sorry you're having a bad tine with it today, I am too. Fx you get your bfp soon!

Pob13 · 06/02/2018 14:29

Permission to wobble. I feel so conflicted. Every day is a battle not to poas. I am desperate to have a baby but am so scared after the mc last year. What if I get a bfp but then it happens again. Part of me would rather not know.
Sorry for the negativity.

Mimilicious013 · 06/02/2018 13:47

oh @daisy, I have to second what pob said , don't lose hope until you know for sure. fx it's not like the last months crazy spotting and it is in fact it.

@pob, did you manage to resist poas today?

@daisy, I just make sure l don't have tests in the house lol

Pob13 · 06/02/2018 13:33

@daisy dont lose hope until you know for sure.

DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 13:28

I think AF has just arrived, four days early/three weeks late! Not certain as just about of spotting (that's all I got last month) I think I'm out 😞

DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 12:49

@Mimilicious013 how are you resisting?! My super sensitive tests came today and I've been holding my wee since I started work at 4:30 so I can test when I get home!

Mimilicious013 · 06/02/2018 10:00

sorry @happy, a bfn is always a pain. trying my level best not to test yet

Well I caved and tested on an IB this morning and got another BFN Sad so I don’t think I’ll bother tomorrow, and will just wait to see if AF arrives over the next few days.

It makes me sad seeing no line, and I think I’d rather just be disappointed once when/if AF comes, rather than over and over again. Flo changed my ov date so I’m either 11/12DPO, so if she doesn’t show, I’ll test on Sat. Fingers crossed for everyone else! Xx

Awesome news juniper and dragon!!

Thanks for the advice ladies and the mara congrats rosieposie. Hope your DP enjoys his half! What day are you on now? Yes it is so annoying they’re so similar 😔

I braved up and bought my first ever test last night but haven’t done it yet. Is FMU the way to go?
And how do I tag someone to reply? Sorry - I’ll get clued up eventually..!

Rosehips34 · 06/02/2018 00:31

Congratulations @juniper @dragon !

Rosehips34 · 06/02/2018 00:30

So happy to have found you ladies- even if it is a bit late in the day. Am 13dpo after almost two weeks of full on nausea and fatigue (with my first baby I didn't feel a thing until AF overdue- this one v different) but today got BFN. Was middle of day and I had drunk a lot of water though so really hoping it was wrong. AF due Wednesday and cannot decide when to use my two remaining tests! Smile

rosieposies · 05/02/2018 23:37

I hate it when I attempt a smiley face and it doesn't work Hmm

rosieposies · 05/02/2018 23:36

Haha @ATP100 that sounds like a book I need to read! Going to look it up now.
Ordered some One Step OPK's yesterday just in case and I've been looking into thermometers that have bluetooth and put your temp straight onto your phone. When I think about it though that's pretty lazy [sceptical] and I'm sure I could buy one for a fiver from Boots and just put it in myself.

I've seen about the pineapple on another thread I think - It's yummy so no harm done I guess!!

Feeling very crampy today, boobs are starting to hurt (maybe because i'm poking them constantly, surprised I don't have bruises) and I feel very emosh. Why do pregnancy and AF have to be so bloody similar grrr.

Hope you enjoyed that wine @seven xx

ATP1000 · 05/02/2018 23:06

Hi @Happythoughts7 , I like the statistic too!
The pineapple juice is meant to help with implantation. It’s got the same chemical as baby aspirin but less intense. I am not an expert but there are lots of things on the Internet (check with a professional/ quality website too though!). Some people eat the pineapple core but that is super concentrated and you only eat it for a few days. I would speak to a doctor before taking low dose aspirin as you have to time the withdrawal from that properly. It’s not my forte, I’m just drinking the juice just in case, it also tastes good and washes down the vitamins! X

@ATP what is pineapple juice meant to do?

ATP1000 · 05/02/2018 21:58

Interesting statistic from the book- around 40% of pregnancies implant at 10dpo or later. That means for this 40%, a positive probably wouldn’t be seen until 13dpo. So an early BFN does not mean it couldn’t change over the next few days x
Fx for all of us xx

ATP1000 · 05/02/2018 21:24

Congratulations for the BFPs! Great news!

@rosieposie , the opks were really useful this month. I had a positive on the Tuesday whilst the apps were saying Friday for ovulation. Would have missed it by a day as I work away from home. My temperature increased on the Friday (missed Thursday temperature annoyingly) also EWCM nearly gone by Friday. I saw the OPK positive and booked a train home for Wednesday night! Wasn’t due back until Friday otherwise. Who knows if it’s worked, I’m 4dpo max, and af due on the 15th so quite a time to wait yet! Currently reading “the impatient woman’s guide to getting pregnant” , whilst drinking pineapple juice! I am slightly obsessed 🙈
