Two week wait - help keep me sane!

Hi ladies,

I have been TTC for four months now. I actually didn't realise how stressful this whole experience is. I shouldn't have expected for it to happen straight away but i'm so impatient.

Anyway, would love to see who else is out there to join me on my TWW. I used CB ovulation tests this month and dtd the day before ovulation. I had an HSG last month and my tubes are all clear so that's good to know.

I am only about 2dpo. Obviously no symptoms the only thing worth mentioning is I have been getting these weird gurgling/popping noises in my stomach. It's SO strange I've never had this before. Maybe it's because I'm drinking lots of pineapple juice which I never normally do, who knows! What are you all doing to keep yourself occupied and not obsessing over this tww?!

I've booked my first acupuncture session this Friday so hopefully that will help de-stress me! Good luck to you all, would love to hear your stories x

@closedcircuit fingers crossed for you!
Playing the waiting game is the worst. I get to a point where I just want AF to come so we can start again.

closedcircuit · 26/10/2018 14:03

@MrsLBear ah that sucks. Im sorry. If AF doesnt show up in a few days definitely do another test. Otherwise i really hope next month is the one for you.
I've been trying since June too cycle #6 currently. Im 9DPO yet so will test on sunday and wednesday now

MrsLBear · 26/10/2018 13:29

@Barker26 congratulations!
I'm new to this!
I'm in the same boat.
Did a FRER today (not first wee as I couldn't wait until tomorrow morning) and it was a BFN.
I'm around 14DPO I think and AF was due Wednesday or Thursday.
Been TTC since June!
So tempted to do another but I know it will be the same result. I've ordered some ovulation sticks ready for next month.
Didn't think I would get this impatient so quickly.

closedcircuit · 26/10/2018 13:04

@Barker26 congratulations!!!

Theres a line irl but i think its just another EVAP.
have had lots of twinges in lower part of my stomach but maybe thats just me not eating very well the last few days.

Two week wait - help keep me sane!

@pinklady89x please let us know how you get on! A faint line sounds promising

PinkLady89x · 26/10/2018 11:42

Fantastic news @Barker26 congratulations.
I took a test again this morning and it's still VERY faint with a second line so I'm assuming I either need to wait longer as I'm only 10 or 11 dpo or that this month is not the month for me. I am however 3 days late now but that could just be messed up cycle from the mmc.
Good luck to everyone else hoping for bfp in the next few days!

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 10:59

I will try to keep thinking positive thoughts @Barker26. A Christmas announcement would be lovely 😊

@sav89 I really hope you get your bfp soon, good luck next cycle xx

Hi everyone, so i've given up for this month. Boobs stopped hurting and AF due soon. I just know I am not pregnant, no doubt in my mind and can't take seeing anymore BFN's so no point testing anymore.

Going to focus on new cycle and will come back during my tww again. Good luck to all those waiting for BFP and congrats to those that got theirs.

Ah isn't it so good when you actually see the word pregnant lol congratulations ! Can't wait til it's my turn 😊

Barker26 · 26/10/2018 09:22

@houseplantinvasion if my flo app is correct I was 15dpo yesterday with faint lines and 16dpo on the digi so there is definitely hope ! I technically could have implanted later but even then i dont think I would have been more than 13dpo yesterday and 14dpo today! I was starting to lose hope! And I've had barely any symptoms really! When is af due for you? I've got everything crossed for you ! I've told my sister but that's it, i will be 12 weeks just before Xmas day so thinking may tell the rest of family on the day :)

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 09:19

10dpo - I know it’s still early, I just feel like I’ve had so many symptoms that if I was going to test positive I should have done so by now!

How are you feeling?! Are you going to tell nyone or wait for 12 weeks?

Barker26 · 26/10/2018 09:13

@houseplantinvasion thank you so much ! I'm still in shock !! I'm sending you luc through mn!! How many dpo are you now ?

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 09:08

Eek congratulations @Barker26! I’m really happy for you XX

HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 09:08

Argh I stupidly wasted a FRER just now, and got a stupid grey indent line. Def not at all pink though. I just can’t help POAS 😂

Barker26 · 26/10/2018 07:51

Hi girls... So I tested and got this!!

Two week wait - help keep me sane!
HouseplantInvasion · 26/10/2018 07:14

@Barker26 anything to report this morning?

I have another definite bfn, boobs still feel like they are heavy/tingling/almost burning, but I’m feeling like it’s probably not going to happen this month as there’s nothing at all at 10dpo. I’ll try a FRER tomorrow morning though, just been using amazon cheapies so far.

Anyone else tested?!

Barker26 · 25/10/2018 22:26

@reginaphalange 13 to 15dpo not sure exactly when i ovulated ! Last 2 cycles have been 25 days and this is day 28 now so I'm assuming I'm already late !

ReginaPhalange89 · 25/10/2018 22:07

@barker26 congrats ! How many dpo are you ? Just to pre warn you if you're super early it won't show on a digital yet, so I'd maybe wait a few more days ! I made the mistake of doing a digital too early and it confused me so much !

Barker26 · 25/10/2018 21:07

I'm going to take a digi tomorrow just so i can see the words! @houseplantinvasion @closedcircuit sending lots of luck yoir way ! @pinklady89x let us know how you get on tomorrow !

PinkLady89x · 25/10/2018 20:48

Yay @Barker26 ! That looks very promising to me! I might wait until tomorrow morning and if AF hasn't come, I'll take another one. Are you going to test again tomorrow or are you happy with your second line now? Congratulations xx

closedcircuit · 25/10/2018 20:42

@Houseplantinvasion hug that sucks. hopefully its just too early yet. So hard to stay positive when you see it completely blank.

I took a test too. I saw a right squinter but think it was an EVAP, it had no colour whatsoever. Tomorrow evening i may try again.

HouseplantInvasion · 25/10/2018 20:18

An absolutely clear bfn here 🙁

Barker26 · 25/10/2018 20:17

I cant bring myself to believe it until I see it on a digi !!! Thanks so much girls I have everything crossed for all of you!

Yay @Barker26 that’s so much stronger! I’d say you’ve got yourself a BFP there! Congratulations Flowers
