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

I've just been to the loo and noticed a huge glob of greeny snot/ewcm 🤔 anyone had that in the tww? I though that was like a fertile thing

@TwinkleDay Ahh good luck for tomorrow! ps. being paid to shop, a dream come true!

@ReginaPhalange89 Yeah give it a few months but i'm sure you won't need it. Basically it is like lube but sperm friendly! It's meant to help them reach their destination a little easier lol

ReginaPhalange89 · 18/10/2018 12:09

@sav89 I'm not, because I conceived so easily before I'm hoping it'll happen quickly again! This is only our first month trying so maybe if it hasn't happened in another couple of months I'll look into things like that . What do you do with it ?

TwinkleDay · 18/10/2018 11:57

Sample making, shopping at every super market one day a week- shopping and being paid for it ! customer visits lunches, liasing with customers. Admin and pc work.

TwinkleDay · 18/10/2018 11:55

Ahh really sorry to hear that ReginaPhalange89 it really is so frustrating. I was hopeful for you too. Still hold onto that hope until AF comes though.

Ps. are you using pre-seed? I've read a lot of success stories about that so I will be using next month if I don't have any luck either.

OP posts:
ReginaPhalange89 · 18/10/2018 11:07

11dpo. Not feeling optimistic today ☹️ feel like AF is on the way and I went out and bought some Clear Blue early detect and it's a definite BFN . I know there's still time but I just don't think it's happening this month , I really got my hopes up too!

Hey PinkBlue1985 I don't know too much about IUI but i had a little read up on it. Sounds like you have a good shot especially if the sperm basically starts in the uterus (if my research is correct lol) FX for third time lucky

So hard not to test early, are you going to wait and see if AF shows up? I plan to test next Wednesday but it feels like a lifetime away and not feeling confident this month. I know it's too early to tell but I just don't feel pregnant at all :(

Hi ladies, how are we all feeling today?

TwinkleDay Food product development sounds interesting, what does it exactly involve? I work for a property investment company...it sounds a lot better than it is. I spent most my day on here! Blush

ReginaPhalange89 Sounds like a good idea. There is no rush in terms of a career I'm actually looking forward to having kids so I can take a break from mine (not for that reason only obviously lol)

PinkBlue1985 · 17/10/2018 19:07

Hi All

New here, been trying to conceive for 1 year now with donor sperm and IUI, had breaks in-between now on my 3rd cycle of IUI and in my 2WW! It is driving me nuts!! 6dpiui and ovulation. I had a 21mm, 17mm and 15mm on trigger day. I was on menopur and took gonasi 3 days ago for luteal support.

any symptoms...hmm..I pee a lot..today I've had white creamy discharge, not a lot but had some..few pinches here and there...thats about it! Trying not to think too much about it, can't stand another BFN!! How can we contain ourselves from testing early? Its just too damn hard!!

ReginaPhalange89 · 17/10/2018 19:01

I had nothing this morning , still only 10dpo so hoping it's just too early ! I've ordered a couple of frers for the weekend.

I currently am not working , we decided it wasn't worth me going back to the job I was in (dental nursing) paying for two kids childcare ! I had applied for College supposed to start in August just gone and then we decided to put it off and complete our family ! One more baby then I'll decide what I'm going to do . Realised I'm not in a rush to find the perfect career, I'll likely have to work til I'm in my 70s so there's no rush 😂

TwinkleDay · 17/10/2018 18:06

I’m tired too what do you all do for a living ? I work in food product development.

whiteonesugar · 17/10/2018 15:28

@sav89 I will do thank you!

Update for today by boobs are much sorer and i am feeling REALLY wiped out and tired. All good things especially this early.

whiteonesugar I can understand why you don't want to get your hopes up just yet but good news so far! Really hope you get past the 6 week point and you can relax. Keep us updated!

Lauraliverpool · 17/10/2018 11:24

@Sav89 no worries! I'm hoping so, have no idea when will be best to test, don't want to set myself up for disapointment, feels like forever to wait to test! Confused XX

TwinkleDay · 17/10/2018 11:04

No other symtons yet, congratulations! That’s really clear !!!!

Currently 12dpo still a waiting! Eek 😬

whiteonesugar · 17/10/2018 11:03

@sav89 - i have history of recurrent miscarriage so not really. I cant think of a positive test as a baby yet. Maybe if i'm still pregnant in a few weeks!

I am happy but tentatively so, if that makes sense? Last month i got a BFP on 14dpo which was about the same strength as todays 11dpo, so thats reassuring that my HCG looks higher earlier. Always a good sign. I usually MC at about 6 weeks so once i get past that point I will feel better I reckon.

My boobs are feeling quite tender today so thats good.

EvieV28 · 17/10/2018 11:00

@whiteonesugar such a clear line, congratulations!

Lauraliverpool Sorry for replying on my old account (Ashers89) i couldn't log in on my phone last night!

Anyway, sounds like you are in for a good chance this month. I think the very earliest I can test will be next Wednesday if I use FRER but I should really wait until next weekend Confused feels so long away!

OP posts:
whiteonesugar · 17/10/2018 10:49

11dpo FRER x

Hey TwinkleDay welcome. This is my fourth month ttc and first month using CB ov test. Let's hope they have helped get us our BFP.

The pink spot sounds like a possible implantation bleed?! You could probably test today but maybe waiting until the weekend is a good idea to be more confident in the result. I really hate this waiting game!

Have you got any other symptoms? Sore boobs etc?

whiteonesugar · 17/10/2018 10:46

I did an FRER this morning - 11dpo. Decent line, I am a bit scared but trying not to get over invested...!

Sorry ladies I couldn't log in on my account so I used my old one (ashers89) incase you were all confused!

OMG whiteonesugar I can see the line!!!! Congrats!!!!

ReginaPhalange89 · 16/10/2018 22:18

Congratulations @whiteonesugar! That's a pretty clear line for 10dpo!

I'm 10dpo tomorrow and really hoping for a line 🙈
