Anyone else currently on the two week wait ?

This is my first two week wait and it’s driving me bonkers. I’m currently trying for baby#2 and I’m 7 DPO. I’m going to test with a First response in about 3 days but the days are going soooo long. With my last baby I wasn’t tracking it was our first try but I had just come off the pill and hadn’t even got a period yet so wasn’t expecting much but I knew I was pregnant when (I estimate it was about 7DPO )I got a lot of CM and food aversions I just knew then and about 4 days later I got my BFP.... this month I have symptoms but similar to PMS. Anyone else currently in limbo ? 🙈🤞🏻

@FinnsMammy

Hi, I am 11/12 dpo today. This is my 12th month ttc #1. But my first month trying after a miscarriage, I haven’t yet had a period since miscarrying but I know I did ovulate as normal.

My apps are telling me my period should be today, tomorrow or Tuesday. I have a strong feeling I’ll be out this morning and there won’t be any bfp for me.

But I wish you all lots of luck!

MrsGee20 · 21/03/2021 19:40

Aw @Soexciting I love your outlook! Let’s hope we’re lucky.

@FinnsMammy we’re in sync as I’m due on next Sunday too. Hope your tiredness is a symptom! Seems very extreme to be that tired so 🤞🤞🤞

I ovulated late this month which is fine as I’m happy I ovulated at all but just means a longer wait in an already long month 😂

I went for a jog with my husband before and he was telling me to try and be pragmatic and compartmentalise etc etc - he just has noooo idea hahaha!!! Smile and nod 😂

Has anyone else felt they actually have less symptoms than in other months? I have sore boobs but usually have cramping by this point in my cycle and nada! I’m hoping sooo much this is because AF isn’t going to arrive!!

Good luck everyone, sending positive vibes your way 💖

FinnsMammy · 21/03/2021 19:33

It’s 7:30 here and I’m going to bed I was so tired this morning that I slept till 10am ( this is late when you have a 1 year old lol) and now I’m going to bed at 7:30 pm because I cannot keep my eyes open! This is very unlike me so I’m curious if this is a symptom! Baby dust to all. Night girls x

I love the idea of a lucky thread!!

It’s so reassuring to know that I’m not the only one who finds it totally consumes everything else! Though I’ve been better so far this month - last month was terrible and I drove myself crazy! I like the idea suggested above of testing from 9 dpo as it makes you somehow more prepared for AF if she arrives! I think I will probably start testing Wednesday.

In the absence of any actual symptoms (other than sore boobs, which I always get in the second half of my cycle) I am keeping a beady eye on my rhr in the hope that it will somehow reveal something to me!

Amyc94 · 21/03/2021 19:24

@FinnsMammy ah really. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I don't usually notice I get that so 😬

Amyc94 · 21/03/2021 19:22

@Soexciting yay let's hope so, I have everything crossed for us all 🤍

Amyc94 · 21/03/2021 19:20

@Rockape1992 I know! How can people actually do that 🙈😂

Our first month trying was December and it basically consumed me. It was awful how much I was thinking and testing. So I took the calm approach jan and feb as much as possible but then felt we didn't try as much as we could.

I'm back to it being my every thought again this month 🙈

2020newbie · 21/03/2021 18:36

Cycle #2 here!
Last month I was sooo certain the symptoms were there so this is me only just starting TWW. Told myself no early testing this cycle because last month I drove myself crazy!

Hopefulhedgehog · 21/03/2021 18:21

Here's to a bunch of Christmas babies🙏🤞🍀

Suki2020 · 21/03/2021 18:16

Hi ladies, I’m 5DPO. TTC#1 we’ve been trying for a long time, that I’ve lost count how many months it is. We’ve have fertility tests which have come back fine other than my thyroid which is under active. I’ve had a ultrasound scan this cycle so I know I’ve defiantly ovulated. AF due 31st March.

FinnsMammy · 21/03/2021 18:09

@Soexciting I like your thinking I feel like this might be a lucky post too ! Here’s hoping 🤞🏻☘️☘️

I am 🙋‍♀️ I'm 3 DPO and will be testing next Sunday at 10 DPO! This is my 3rd cycle, TTC #1 but first cycle using opk's so feeling a little more hopeful this month! I sat and googled every little thing last month during the TWW and drove myself insane, I told myself I wouldn't be the same this month so we'll see how long that lasts 😂

Rockape1992 · 21/03/2021 17:36

Think I’ll hold off until AF. Somehow feel better getting that instead of a BFN although both are becoming increasingly devastating. Would love an early Christmas baby, fingers crossed for BFPs all round x

Soexciting · 21/03/2021 16:49

I already feel like this will be a lucky thread. I was in a march 2019 one when I conceived my daughter. The nice thing about lovely threads is you can still be happy for people even if it's not your month. Fingers crossed for all of us!

FinnsMammy · 21/03/2021 16:41

@MrsGee20 exactly we would all be due early December early Christmas presents.😍🤞🏻I have one first response test and a few others that aren’t as sensitive ,the first response calculator on their website says I can test from Wednesday earliest which will be 10/11 DPO but I think I might wait a day or 2 ... my period is due the 28th so it’s not long after.. altho every day feels like a week during this tww I can’t believe I’m only halfway 🙈

Hopefulhedgehog · 21/03/2021 16:37

Hi @MrsGee20 - I held out until day before AF last month to test and it was torture and I felt so disappointed when I got a bfn. This month I've stocked up on ICs and I'll start testing at 9dpo. I feel like I won't be as disappointed if I start early because I'll be expecting a bfn.

MrsGee20 · 21/03/2021 16:32

Yes I love these threads!! Saves me pecking my husband’s head 😂😂 funny how many of us are 7dpo if we all had good news we could have such similar due dates!

Keeping everything crossed for you all! When are you going to test? I’m trying to hold off as long as possible!

Xxx

FinnsMammy · 21/03/2021 16:19

@Amyc94 funny you say this I had a shooting pain in my left boob last night too who knows this could be a symptom 🤞🏻🤞🏻Yes girls keep us posted on how everyone is doing I’m glad I’m not the only one in this it’s all I think about lol it’s hard to talk to anyone else about it as I don’t want to be getting my hubbies hopes up lol. I’m fortunate enough to be in the first cycle of trying so baby dust to all you girls you have been trying for a while I don’t know how many more months I cud be analysing my every symptom it’s definitely torturous!!!!

Hopefulhedgehog · 21/03/2021 16:19

Hi girls, I'm 7dpo- cycle 3 TTC #1. AF due 30 March. Last month I had loads of symptoms and was utterly convinced I was on my way to a BFP. This month absolutely nothing so far - not sure if that's good or bad!

Mrsmujic · 21/03/2021 15:40

Im also at 7dpo. Lots of cramps I'm my pelvic area, dull and shooting. Don't usually get this many in the lead up to af, it's only one side too but af pain always seems more central. I've felt emotional the last few days especially on Friday and feel a little under the weather. I had lots of really pale yellowy cm for a few days after ovulation time and tender boobs. I think I'll wait for af before testing as Im not sure if I'm 32 or 35 day cycle. (Based on opk I'd say 35?) Good luck everyone! X

Rockape1992 · 21/03/2021 15:29

The old ‘just relax and it will happen’ must be the most overused and infuriating phrase I’ve ever heard! If someone could actually tell me how the hell to do that when the months are ticking by and af is turning up like a bad penny every month, then please do!! 😫

Amyc94 · 21/03/2021 15:21

Hey girls,

Do you mind if I join in?

I'm currently 7dpo on our 4th cycle. It's torture isn't it 🙈

I have cramps I don't usually get this early on before AF and sore shooting pains in boobs but trying(!!!) to not think too much into it

MrsGee20 · 21/03/2021 15:09

Hi hoping to join! I’m ttc #1 and also 7dpo. Sore boobs but always get this when af is due! No cramps yet which I’d normally have at this time before af. Tww is torturous!

So trying not to pin my hopes on this month but it’s really hard not to isn’t it? I’m on cycle #3 of trying and wish I could chill out 😂

Rockape1992 · 21/03/2021 14:20

I’m also on the tww, roughly 8 or 9dpo and ttc #2. I’ve no symptoms apart from some light spotting which I always get in the run up to af although not usually this early. I’m so fed up of symptom spotting as I always manage to convince myself that everything means something and then feel so crushed when af arrives. It’s so hard isn’t it? This is our 7th cycle of ttc and so frustrating when first baby happened literally after dtd once! 🙈 Trying to count my blessings as I know we are so much more fortunate than a lot of people on these boards but I’m desperate to give my son a sibling. If it helps @ottie27 I had no symptoms at all when expecting ds1- no clue at all until missed period. I did have my usual spotting beforehand too which continued for most of my first trimester. X

FinnsMammy · 21/03/2021 12:06

@Soexciting I forgot to mention I also give my son a night feed so yes I’ve been feeling my boobs are a bit tense etc but it’s too hard to say that’s a symptom when I’m still breastfeeding a teething toddler lol 😂
