Anyone else starting the two week wait?

We dtd Monday morning and now the two week wait. Not that hopeful as I feel I was one day too late. But it was during the 48 window of the static smile face. Second day though. Anyone else just about to start or at the beginning of the 2 week wait? How are you keeping busy?

Hi im ttc#5 1st cycle with opks. And on cycle day 20, so in 2ww. Good luck to all for bfp soon x

starkid · 07/11/2018 11:34

Same, kept being reasons e.g. too busy, out that evening etc. so possibly only dtd twice during fertile week :-/

Yea, yesterday I felt bloated and today a little cranky. Ah well. I’m having a toffee nut latte to cheer me up (probably not the best thing to have when ttc!). At least I’ve started working again again. I’m at a good weight. Slim, but not too slim (basically pre pregnancy weight). But sugars seem to effect my hormones (if I have too much it breaks me out or messes my cycle a bit). Also, I think another issue is we keep dtd one or two days after I think we should (either I’m too tired or my dh is tired). Next month We will be strict and dtd when I first suggest.

@Mamabear12 - I feel the same, since yesterday boobs rather swollen and feel grumpy, with occasional belly ache. Think I ov'd around the same time as you too, & now just waiting for AF. Might test again Friday if still not here.

Sorry you both seem to be out :(

Easterbuns1 · 07/11/2018 10:36

keeping everything crossed it's not the start of AF for you. My skin has started to break out which is usually a sign my period is on the way so I'm not holding out much hope either.

I wish it were implantation. But doubtful as I never had with first two and I have been known to get spotting before period in the last year. So frustrating. And sorry that you are also experiencing the start of Aunt Flo. At least mine seems to be coming a little earlier so I’m not left wondering for more days. But still frustrating. Good luck to everyone else! Hope to hear about some positives soon!

@Mamabear12 oh nooooooooooooo! Don't worry it still could be implantation bleeding. When i wiped also looked like beginning of af:(

Damn it. I’m out. Just saw the beginning of spotting when I wiped now :( basically discharge w some pink. So frustrating!!!!! Seems so difficult now to get pregnant!! :(

well I did an internet cheapy and obviously it was negative as I'm only about 8dpo. I think I just have a poas addiction.

Flushed my pee before I lost any
Control. Feel strong that I did but I still want to know lol

Boobs feel sensitive and slightly swollen. Annoying though that this can also be a sign of PMS. Although, after having kids I never noticed them getting swollen or sensitive (as w breastfeeding they got huge, so after they shrunk and now have room to swell and I wouldn’t notice lol). It could be bc I’m symptom spotting. We dtd 8/9 days ago. Not sure if you could the day you dtd if it was 5am 😀 I’m thinking I ovulated day of or day after. It was the second day of the static surge. But who knows! I’m not that hopeful though as for some reason it seems more complicated to get pregnant! Perhaps because I’m thinking about it too much.

Farhana170 · 06/11/2018 23:30

I meant end of day tomorrow! Only coz I don't have any tests. Otherwise I would have right now! Lol

OneMoreWish · 06/11/2018 23:26

Hmm @Mamabear12 could be promising..

I'm still fighting my logic mind with desire to test tomorrow... I'll only be 8dpo... best I can hope for is dc1 distracts me and I flush lol

starkid · 06/11/2018 20:15

Weird, never thought to try testing with ov sticks. Fingers crossed :)

Actually, I read on a forum this happened to someone else and they were not pregnant. So not getting my hopes up! However, my breasts do seem more sensitive. But don’t know if that would be a pregnancy symptom. I will see how I feel in the morning and decide to test or not. Most likely I won’t and will just wait until Friday. As I think it’s too early.

Easterbuns1 · 06/11/2018 19:12

sounds promising then! will you use proper test with first morning urine tomorrow?

Mamabear12 · 06/11/2018 19:09

Omg. So I tested with my ovulation strip and now it’s flashing. I’m wondering if that means anything!? I was thinking I have no symptoms but when my son bumped his elbow to my breast they are more sensitive lately. It seems the kids bump or fall on there and I’m like ouch!! Where before I never noticed. Hmm

Farhana170 good luck! Let us know the result. Can’t believe you managed to wait until this evening to test!

OP posts:
Farhana170 · 06/11/2018 17:40

Omg... af is due tomorrow... I feel her coming on:( will be testing at the end of the day if she doesn't show! Arrhhhhh I know I'm gna be disappointed!

I still don’t know how for my second I managed to wait to test the day before my period was due! Clear blue said negative, but two sainsbury said positive. Next day got positive from first response to confirm it.

OP posts:
OneMoreWish · 06/11/2018 14:59

Aargh my baby sleeping on me so im nap trapped so I keep googling 8dpo and bfp s

It's so ridiculous we know it's potentially too early and even if I get a faint line then I would worry about it getting stronger or becoming a chemical. So in some ways better not to know too early... but I still want to test tomorrow lol

And btw not even sure if it’s really true about the ovulation stick picking up pregnancy. But thought I will just keep using it once a day to curb my wanting to poas! If I’m not pregnant this month; will need to buy another clear blue kit anyway.

I poas - but an ovulation one lol. It picked up nothing. Don’t really feel pregnant. Boo hoo. And weather sucks!!! Feeling the winter blues. Need some sunshine! Or perhaps I need to get out of the house for a walk!

OP posts:
starkid · 06/11/2018 14:40

I'm 8dpo and just got a negative @OneMoreWish but think that's because it really is a negative and not because it's too early! It's too tempting...!
