Anybody in their 2WW?

Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday (hopefully!), due AF on 13th May, anybody else starting their 2WW?

(Warning: I am a serial symptom spotter and POAS addict, I have zero willpower 😂)

Hello
Hope it's okay to join! I'm 10dpo and tested this morning with a bfn.

I have one blocked tube so chances are low! I am waiting for a laparoscopy so really hoping we get our bfp before then as I really don't want surgery!
We've been trying for 15 months and this month I've tried fertility massage and castor oil packs!

@rudyroo we both ovulated on same day! You got your bfp in good time! Congrats!

@Kiskacsa 👍 on the face front 😂 you’re in the same boat as me and Roo with sore boobs and cramps 🤞
@Roo3125 don’t do it!! Be strong 💪😂
@Mummylanie3 sorry about your BFN ☹️ That blank screen sucks! If there’s no sign of AF test in a few days, 🤞 it’s just a late implanter!
@Chips84 welcome, sorry for your loss. I’d treat anything that’s not normal for you as a symptom 🤞

Well, my boobs are killing this morning, not normal for me to have pain until 1/2 days before AF so taking it as a good sign, but getting a bit nervy as AF is getting closer. Had a couple of pinchy cramps this morning, more like AF cramps than before but still not what’s normal for me. Argh I’m going nuts!
9DPO for me, so usually I’d be POAS, but I’m being reeeeally good and I haven’t even bought any yet! ☺️

Hi, hope it’s ok to join. I’m 10dpo and due on 13th. I hate this 2ww, all I want to do is take the test. The only symptoms I have is that I’m very emotional and quite tired continuously. Not sure if the absence of a symptom is a symptom? I usually have very sore breasts the week before AF. This time no sore breasts at all. My husband and I have been trying for about 9 months and this is our first time trying again since a recent MC. With the last pregnancy I also had no sore breasts at all. So fingers crossed it means something. Going to try my best not to test until I’m due on, though don’t really trust myself not too.

Kiskacsa · 08/05/2019 07:14

@roo3125 well I seem to have joined you on the cramps now, and temp is back up this morning 🤞🤞🤞

Mummylanie3 · 08/05/2019 07:13

Woke up this morning feeling so sick af due tomorrow did a FRER and got a BFN think I'm out

Anybody in their 2WW?
Roo3125 · 08/05/2019 05:39

I'm so tempted to test today at 9DPO but I'm aware that would be a BFN most likely no matter what haha! 😂🙄🤦‍♀️

Kiskacsa · 07/05/2019 22:26

Feeling nervy watching my temps dropping a little - still above cover but going in the wrong direction. Breasts are super tender but it’s only 8DPO so I’m sure symptom spotting is mad. @roo3125 I had exactly that low pain for a good week before my last bfp (which abruptly stopped a week before my mmc) @mmama18 my face is less of a mess too - taking that as a positive no matter what :-p

Ohhhh I SO hope we’re all in the BFP club with you @RudyRoo! I felt SO positive yesterday and I just feel really crappy today 😫 hormones maybe? 🤞 I just FEEL pregnant, but I’m going to be so gutted if I’m not, and I keep thinking we can’t have been lucky enough to catch first try!
Just having lots of snuggles with my DD, watching Disney movies and hoping I can get my positive hat back on tomorrow!

RudyRoo · 07/05/2019 16:39

Sound promising ladies! I definitely had strange niggles and twinges before I got my BFP 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Abi58 · 07/05/2019 15:03

@MMama18 and @Roo3125

That sounds really positive for you both Grin

Roo3125 · 07/05/2019 14:26

@MMama18 my boobs feel a little tender today too and I keep burping which is unusual. I generally get a low feeling in my stomach like I need the toilet before af (sorry if TMI there! 😂) and I have that a bit just now which is unusual for a whole week before af is due.

I keep feeling twinges still and like shooting pains. So strange!

@Roo3125 ditto!
Yesterday I was feeling really positive, I think I felt implantation on Sunday and had a pressure in the same sort of place yesterday, so my attitude was ‘this isn’t too bad, 2WW is going quite quick’ but I don’t feel anything today. 🤞that that’s a good thing though and means it was implantation.
No other symptoms for me, skin seems to be calming down but boobs are still tender. I’m getting so impatient 😫

Roo3125 · 07/05/2019 10:46

@MMama18 8DPO now. Keep burping today. Just wish the days would speed up now haha!

MMama18 · 07/05/2019 07:44

@Roo3125 that sounds like what I had! So annoying isn’t it, I was second guessing every little niggle but it was definitely something! How many DPO are you now?

OP posts:
Roo3125 · 06/05/2019 22:58

Having weird twinges and sensations on my left side lower abdomen tonight. Hoping that's a positive sign! 🤞

MMama18 · 06/05/2019 12:27

@RudyRoo thank you! I’m really hoping it was, had no more pain but can feel a ‘pressure’ where the pain was every now and then, just hoping it’s burrowing nice and deep!
We’ve actually got quite a busy week, DH has got some time off work so we’ll be taking DD out and we’re collecting our new car on Thursday so I’m excited about that too. It’s only a week left of the 2WW so in a way it’s going quite quick!
My DM had just got back off of a cruise and my DB and SIL2B have just gone off to Greece for 2 weeks and I am SO jealous! I couldn’t think of a better distraction for you! xx

OP posts:
RudyRoo · 06/05/2019 12:00

@MMama18 think of you and hoping it's implantation like you suspect! 🤞🏼 hope the next week goes quickly for you and try and keep as busy as you can so you don't have time to over-think! I'm really looking forward to going on holiday on Saturday as I really want to fast-forward these few initial weeks 😬 least it'll be a lovely distraction xx

@RudyRoo no other symptoms... just my pepperoni face and tender ish boobs, but pretty sure biologically you can’t really have pg symptoms until after implantation? So I’ll be unbearable the next few days 😂 I’ve had no spotting or bleeding though, and with DD I had a smear of pink next time I went to the loo... 🤞if this is the real deal it’s a nice sticky baby, I have good form for getting pregnant, I’m a terrible hostess though 😫
I’m going to try my best to hang on until 13DPO, that’s when I got a good line with DD (I want an unmistakable BFP like yours!)
I’d appreciate crossed fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes and anything else you can cross 😂 x

RudyRoo · 05/05/2019 22:19

@hiddenfigure it could be just that your periods are still settling back to normal. It took mine a while.....BUT....it could also mean youre pregnant! Only one way to find out...! Do you know when you ovulated and therefore how many DPO you are? I would probably do a test if I was you, I only ever did ones with first pee on the morning so I can't help you with your other question I'm afraid. Please keep us posted! 🤞🏼

RudyRoo · 05/05/2019 22:16

Ohhh @MMama18 that is exciting for you! If you have felt this last time then surely it is a very good indicator 😊 I'm excited for you! Did you have any other symptoms last time you were pregnant at this time? So have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼 how long are you going to be able to hold out before you test?! x

Right ladies I’m trying reeeeeally hard not to get over excited but I’m hoping I just felt implantation 😬

I’ve been looking out all day for any new signs or symptoms, so it could well just me being overly sensitive but I’ve just been putting DD to bed (she’s being a little pickle at bedtime just lately 😫) and I got a very sharp twinge in my lower tummy. Literally just above my pubic hairline, in the middle but slightly to the left and it felt at the surface near the front, not deep inside like wind pain. Lasted a few seconds then occurred another couple of times within about 10 mins, best way I can describe is like when you have a blood test ‘sharp scratch’...
Feels very similar to what I remember feeling with DD and I think that was at 7DPO so I’m feeling hopeful! DH isn’t nearly as enthusiastic about my pain though 😂 x

@Mummylanie3 🤞🤞

@hiddenfigure I would test in the morning personally as wee should be more concentrated, but seeing as you’re already late you could probably test any time, I think the advice is though to wait 4 hours between wees and not drink an excessive amount, as the more watered down it is the less hormone can be picked up. Good luck 🤞

OP posts:
hiddenfigure · 05/05/2019 17:55

Also... is taking a test in the morning definitely more accurate? Has anyone taken a test in an evening and got a negative, only to re-take in the morning to get a positive?

Or if you’re pregnant then it won’t matter what time you take it? Just wondering how much credence people give to the morning theory!

hiddenfigure · 05/05/2019 17:52

Fingers crossed for you all still in the game!

I came off the pill on Feb 28th and a few days later had my normal bleed.

My first cycle last 25 days, then the next one 33 days.

Now I’m currently on day 36 - period was predicted for Monday, I’m 6 days late according to the app.

I normally have a bit of spotting and cramps before my period since coming off the pill but nothing so far.

Not really sure what to do. As the cycle lengths are getting longer maybe I should just wait for a bit? Or take a test in the morning?

I have had a busy and stressful two weeks so I am not sure if that plays a part with period running late.

I guess as I’m still relatively fresh off the pill things are still settling down.

Mummylanie3 · 05/05/2019 17:38

@MMama18 I hope so I've just checked my tracker and my period is due Thursday so 4 days but I just don't feel like I normally do when it's going to come I suppose all I can do is keep testing in the mornings and see what happens
