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

TwinkleDay Congrats!! So excited to see these BFP's in this thread!

PinkBlue1985 lol! Good idea, i'm going to see how I get on next week but the earliest I'm going to allow myself to test will be 9DPO but will try for longer.

EvieV28 I actually have a few and I don't normally get them. Not sure what that's all about!

TwittleBee Welcome! GL for this month hope the tww goes nice and quick for you, keep up posted.

Does anyone else get spots on their chin/jaw in the TWW? I'm only 5dpo and also have cramps, think I'm getting an early AF this month 😔

PinkBlue1985 · 19/10/2018 09:01

@TwinkleDay CONGRATS!!!!!

Bring on more BFPS please!

EvieV28 · 19/10/2018 08:08

Congrats @TwinkleDay !!!

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 07:05

Approved strong ? Lol 🤔 I meant really strong !

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 07:04

@TwinkleDay congratulations! Those lines are approved strong , how many dpo?

I've just tested and nothing ☹️ think I'm out , feels like AF might appear today 12dpo

TwinkleDay · 19/10/2018 06:46

Sweet baby Jesus, couldn’t sleep went to bed at 9.30 oh here at 11 tossing and turning until 2.30am and we did it then, think I only had a couple of hours sleep, first one ever! Good luck everyone else testing xxx

APositiveMind · 18/10/2018 21:01

@TwinkleDay me either!

I edited a photo of a test I took yesterday. I know I broke it open and it's a day old so probably doesn't count. But what do we all think?

I haven’t felt like this since I was waiting to see if the offer on the house was accepted... had to wait 1 weekend though rather than weeks. Jesus Christ.

APositiveMind · 18/10/2018 20:47

@ReginaPhalange89
I tested on Monday and had a very very faint positive on a clear blue. But all cheapie tests after I'm pretty sure have been negative, so waiting until at least the day af is due to test again as my heart is starting to drop 

ReginaPhalange89 · 18/10/2018 20:39

@APositiveMind oooh have you tested at all yet or where you waiting to see if AF showed up? Good luck !

I'm 11dpo and had no lines so far, so disheartening. I have everything crossed it's just going to be a late bfp but more likely we haven't been lucky this time !

APositiveMind · 18/10/2018 20:20

@ReginaPhalange89 I'm also a dental nurse Currently 14dpo, waiting to test tomorrow morning 😬

ReginaPhalange89 · 18/10/2018 19:19

@Twittlebee fingers crossed this is the month for you !

TwittleBee · 18/10/2018 18:11

Hey there all, hope you dont mind me jumping on!

Pretty sure I'm ovulating today! +OPK yesterday and classic ovulation shooting pains today.

Been TTC#2 for 12 months this cycle so really really really hope this is the one! Feeling super positive and have my million HPTs at the ready

TwinkleDay · 18/10/2018 18:06

Good luck all! Xx

Lauraliverpool · 18/10/2018 17:16

Fingers crossed for us all 🙂 xx

Lauraliverpool · 18/10/2018 17:16

Thank you @Sav89 I'm hoping so 🙂 xx

PinkBlue1985 · 18/10/2018 16:55

@sav89 Haha yes I remember being 4DPO..feels like so long ago!! lol just kidding! You will get by, try to keep busy!! I'm not testing till at least 11DPO-12DPO can't bear another BFN. Lets pray we all get our BFPS!

PinkBlue1985 Ahh okay that's annoying but I guess if you time ovulation and IUI right you are in with a good chance! I'm so jealous you are on 7DPO and i'm sitting here on a measly 3-4DPO going out of my mind haha

Let me know if you test tomorrow but it might be a bit early as implantation may not have happened yet! Good news about the pinching pain though Smile good luck

OP posts:
PinkBlue1985 · 18/10/2018 16:29

@sav89 Yes its a bit more complicated, the downfall is washed sperm only live up to 24 hours! Today I had a pinch/pain for 10 seconds under belly button it hurt! not due for another 10 days and didn't feel the same, lets wait and see. 7dpo today, feels like everyday is going slower! I think I will order in the pregnancy tests tomorrow : D ....not sure if thats a good idea.....haha

EvieV28 · 18/10/2018 15:12

Hope it works @sav89!

EvieV28 Im 4DPO today and i've been soooo impatient this cycle.

I'm going to my first acupuncture session tomorrow. Apparently it can help encourage implantation...worth a try!

ReginaPhalange89 sounds positive! Never had this before on all my BFN's so you never know.

Lauraliverpool Fx for tomorrow and possible implantation Smile

EvieV28 · 18/10/2018 13:28

I always thought green discharge meant infection but a quick google does suggest it could be a pregnancy sign! Keep an eye on it.

Anyone else about 3/4dpo? I'm getting impatient already 🙈

Lauraliverpool · 18/10/2018 13:22

I'm a stay at home mum to my little boy who's 2. I did go back to my job as a breast feeding peer supporter after a year on maternity leave which was last year but there was all changes being made and had to re interview for my job wasn't successful, ended up being redeployed elsewhere but hated it and was affecting my health so made the decision to leave and hubby said when ready to find a little part time job which will probably do after we hopefully have a another baby.

Still got slight sore boobs and like a niggling, dull ache feeling in tummy. Looked at this website count down to pregnancy and said tomorrow most likely day for implantation. X
