The dreaded 2ww

@mybreadiseggy I am so sorry to hear this. Can’t imagine what it must be like to have such an amazing feeling and then have it taken away.
I am such a dweller so worried to test early as if it is a chemical pregnancy would rather not know and just think my period is a bit late otherwise it would really mess with my head and emotions.

Arewethereyet I’ve had 2 chemical pregnancies since my youngest DC was born 2 years ago.
I’ve been 13 days late with no chance of pregnant before (DH was deployed with the military overseas!), so about 6 months ago, I just assumed it was the same thing again. I got to 15 days late and took a test which was a faint positive. Then that afternoon, I got the worst period pain I had ever felt and started bleeding. Was a horrible mix of emotions - being happy all morning about being pregnant, and then devastated in the same afternoon.

That does make sense. I think if I was temping then I’d be able to hold off longer, because I’m not I’m literally just waiting and at least if I POAS I’m doing something . Time’s just crawling.

This is probably going to sound silly but I have been lurking on here for a while and have seen quite a few people be devastated after chemical pregnancies and I know if I was in their position I would be a wreck so for my sanity going to try and wait each cycle until AF is late.
We haven’t been trying for long though so see how many cycles that lasts for haha!

@Arewethereyet19 also in awe, I'm due on the 8th to test on the 9th and I've already poas. It was an ic and I knew it would be negative, but I needed to do something. I hate this waiting game.

I’m in awe of your self-control. I’m due on the 10th and am not going to be able to resist POA IC on Sunday!

Seriously sore boobs for me today. Normal AF symptom for me though so not reading anything into it.

AF is also due for me on the 9th so will b me waiting until the 10th to test if it doesn’t make an appearance.

Got everything crossed for us all!

@lisaawilson I'm usually on a 30day cycle. But this month I ovulated late ( second time tracking ) so I assume my period will be later. I would have tested next Tuesday (cd30) my app says af not due till 13th Jan! Which is cd35! I will hold out till then. So far no symptoms. I've come down with a cold but everyone around me is ill too so don't think that's a symptom for me. What about you? Any symptoms? When will you test?

@lisaawilson hey, my lh surge was at the same time was yours 27th afternoon. I'm not 100% when I ovulated either. But usually it's 12 to 36 after. So it might have been the same day of the next day. I think I'm currently 7dpo.

TWW here also. First cycle after MMC at 9 weeks. TTC No 2. DD1 is 9! OPK was positive in 29th. DTD on 25th, 28th, 30th, 1st. Not 100% when to test! Fell pregnant last time on 1st cycle so have my fingers crossed! Hope everyone gets a BFP this month.

Hey i’m new and waiting too...I’m 3 dpo, ttc#1, cycle 4. I felt really nauseous on day of ovulation this month which was weird? Does anyone else get that?

Day 1 of 2WW. Wasn't totally on top of things this month. We don't use ovulation tests but an app that predicts instead. I understand this is less accurate but the 1st time we used it before it worked (sadly ended in mmc) but hoping for the same result this time! Altho haven't been totally on top of things and hadn't checked app - we dtd on both the 2 days before predicted ovulation & the day after hopefully this will be enough but if not we shall persevere!

@ForeverBubblegum I can definitely see a line there!! Are you going to test again in the morning? I got positives on both my previous pregnancies at 9dpo and they were super faint - just a bit stronger than yours... fingers crossed for you!

Ladies I can't stop symptom spotting and know I'm just setting myself up for a fall but can't help it! I've been crampy and bloated but that could be nothing. I ate so much at Christmas so the bloating is constant haha.

Am max 6dpo so need to try and hold on a few more days....

Down with flu here, the worst today. Anyone else caught it?

Hi ladies can I join? Think I am day 3 of 2WW (first month trying) but after forking out a small fortune on clear blue digital ovulation tests I never got my smiley face! Tested pretty early every morning so hoping that I may have surged later in the day and missed it rather than not ovulated but who knows! Did have some ovulation pains and fertile CM (bit gross!) so am thinking am day 3 but a bit of guess work. No symptoms as of yet as early days. Good luck everyone! xx

Ovulated 24th so 8 days, I know it is to early to test really, but I'm very inpatient.

So much for willpower, I POAS this morning. Think DS may have been on to something as I can maybe see a super faint line, can anyone else see it, or is it just my wishful thinking?

@Lisaawilson I'm due on the 8th so planning on testing on the 9th. I wasn't feeling the luck this cycle but my charts just gone triphasic so I'm going a bit crazy, I know it probably doesn't mean anything, but so hard not to get my hopes up!

@Hbs21 welcome I can't help with suggestions for staying sane in the tww as I'm constantly thinking about it. I've been trying aromatherapy, mindfulness and journaling but it's not making a huge difference for me.

Hi everyone! Hope I'm okay to join the thread. AF is due around 16th/17th according to Flo so right at the beginning of the TWW now. This is my first cycle so not expecting it to work this time around but I'm already getting impatient! How does everyone take their mind of it??

ForeverBubblegum I think they can! My dd was 8 months old when I fell pregnant with dS and hadn’t been breastfed in ages. She took a huge interest in my boobs! I’ve got a hilarious video of her shoving her face in my boobs and blowing raspberries - but I was about 20 weeks pregnant by then

My AF is due on 7th I think. I'm going to do a test over the weekend probably Slunday (probably Saturday too!!) I'm the same it's all I can think about and can't tell if I'm imagining symptoms or if they are real. I'm working tomorrow and Friday so I'm hoping that should take me mind off it for at least a couple of hours!
