The dreaded 2ww

Went to bed last night with slightly tender boobs - which is a normal, premenstrual thing for me. But woke up this morning, and they really hurt - even from the slight “jiggle” that comes with walking. And my left boob (which is always slightly bigger than the right) looks and feels enormous, but the right one looks the same as always
Anyone else had one boob explode overnight?!! Maybe the other one will catch up

AF due on Friday, woke up today with the most horrific heartburn. As much as I don't want to symptom spot this month, I can't help it!!

@Arewethereyet19 fingers crossed it's early pregnancy symptoms and not period

@GemmaJen almost time.... I caved yesterday and went to Boots to buy a FRER to test this morning. However, they were sold out the wait continues. I'll try and pick some up today after work.

Hope you're feeling good!

AF Is due for me on Wednesday but symptoms have started so not expecting a BFP if I get to testing point.
Good luck to everyone still waiting

Thanks @jazzyjellybeans, must be getting close to poas time for you?

Any updates ladies? I'm guessing a lot of the tww's are ending this week? Got my fingers and toes crossed for youall, new year BFP's are coming 🤞😁🎉

@GemmaJen fx it sticks.... it sounds really positive!

@GemmaJen fingers crossed for you! with my previous pregnancies I took about ten days of testing each! So I don't blame you to keep testing - there is nothing lovelier than seeing that line get darker 😂. But I stopped at 5 weeks as you say.

Thank you. I've had some bloating and cramping but it was my first ovulation since my MC in October so it could just be that. I would be very surprised if I fell pregnant so quickly so we will see!

@MollyFaith00 no strong symptoms yet, a bit of cramping and nausea. I'm poas every morning and still temping, line is definitely getting stronger, hoping for a nice strong line by Wednesday. Don't know when I'm going to stop with the daily poas and temping. I think after the 5th week which is on the 16th. Luckily I've got loads of the cheap tests so won't be breaking the bank. Fx this sticks.

I've got my fingers crossed for you on Tuesday.

@GemmaJen I decided to leave it until closer to AF. Am convinced it was a weird evap as it was so so early - I didn't want to see a negative and feel blue on my hols!! It's taught me a lesson really to just leave it as long as I can...
I'm TRYING to hold off until at least Tuesday. AF due Thursday or Friday I think. Am currently away so it's a bit easier but we go home tomorrow so I know when I wake up at home on Tuesday it will be too hard for me not to poas!!

How are you feeling? Any pregnancy symptoms started yet? x

@Fortheloveofscience @Arewethereyet19 @MyBreadIsEggy thank you

@becca3210 I find keeping my mind of things is just impossible. Just got to find things to distract myself that does help a little.

@Lisaawilson sounds promising 🤞

@MollyFaith00 how did the frer go? Fx for you x

@jazzyjellybeans welcome. You're stronger than me, lol the struggle is real.

Hey Ladies... can I also join please? Cycle 13 for us TTC our first. Ovulated on 26th so currently 11DPO. I have no idea how but I've managed to refrain from POAS. Trying to hang off until 9th.... (sits on hands)

I'm 5dpo too @becca3210 thought I had some twinges but really not sure where I should feel them? Seemed more on the right than middle I've never really paid much attention to what's going on in my body before all this ttc business!

Boobs started feeling a little tender today, which is quite normal for me when AF is approaching.
But I am also feeling totally wiped out, and even fell asleep in the car on the way home from a day out with DCs today

Congrats @GemmaJen. Hope everyone else is doing ok. I am finding the weekend tricky to not think about TTC as not got work as a distraction! Am approx Day 5 post ovulation now. Continuing to have minor stomach/back cramps but still early days still so could be nothing!

Congratulations GemmaJen!!

I’m feeling really stroppy today which is a normal premenstrual thing for me, so I’m not holding out much hope for a BFP

Congratulations GemmaJen that’s fabulous news

Hope you don’t mind me joining in.
Had miscarriage in October, so first month trying since that.
Op on the 14th dec, so AF due on 10th Jan.
Trying Not to think about it, but really want to test

Thanks @GemmaJen - I use those one steps OPKs and their pretty good!

I have a frer with me but they are so pricey I don't want to waste it haha. I have another supermarket own brand with me (can't remember which) and so will try with FMU tomorrow. Thank you! I weirdly feel very untrusting of it so will start to get excited if I see another line in the morning x

Congrats GemmaJen! Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for you.

So sorry MyBread that sounds horribly hard to deal with.

LisaWilson exactly the same here, just ordinary pre-AF symptoms. Tummy feels a bit weird but I’m sure it’s just because I’m finishing off Christmas food . Managed not to POAS today at 7DPO but suspect I’ll cave and test tomorrow. Luckily they’re only IC.

Thank you @Farhana170. No obvious symptoms really. I have pressure in my abdomen, been a bit gassy and some nausea, but I put it down to the Christmas/new year diet, I've put on so much weight, lol. I was hoping to loose a few pounds but that may have to wait.

@MollyFaith00 the internet cheapie strip I used was a wondfo and I double checked with a one step, they're as sensitive as frers at a fraction of the price, I get them from Amazon. If you got a line with the superdrug test it's much more likely to be a true positive than a false positive they have to pass quality control before they can sell them. double check with a different brand after a 4 hour hold or tomorrow with fmu. Got my fingers crossed for you x

Congratulations @GemmaJen that's so exciting! How many dpo are you? I understand what you're saying about feeling nervous - after my mc I know I will be nervous next pregnancy... but fingers crossed this one is a sticky bean for you 💗 do you mind me asking what brand of test you used?

The reason I ask is that I got a very very very faint line this morning (I don't know why I tested but I couldn't help myself and ended up taking a few tests away with me). It was Superdrug - which I have now read is terrible for false positives.
(I'm also v aware that testing too early is bad because it can pick up a chemical pregnancy - so I need to stop!!)

@MyBreadIsEggy so sorry for everything you have gone through. It's so hard 💗💐.

xx

@gemmajen congrats! Fx it's a sticky bean! And let the bfp roll in for the rest of us!
Did you have any symptoms?

@MyBreadIsEggy that's awful. Sorry you had to go through that.

I'm an early tester I know I shouldn't but as @Fortheloveofscience days I just feel like I need to do something. I tested yesterday in the afternoon just to shut my brain up, a lovely BFN as expected. Thought I'd do the same this morning to help me get on with the day and stop thinking about it, fully expecting another BFN. But I got two lines! Still in shock now and so so happy! I know it could all get taken away, I had a mmc at 11weeks and recently a chemical so praying for a sticky bean this time!
