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 ? 🙈🤞🏻

Update: So this morning I had a shower and noticed stretch marks after my shower for the first time ever !! I know they must of been from my previous pregnancy but I have never noticed them before at all in fact I thought I had got away without any but they were were very prominent today after my shower and have now faded back again but are still noticeable🙈 I’m wondering if this is a symptom ? Literally happened overnight. Very strange !!

Baby dust to you all girls ! @Soexciting that’s so weird that you say that as yesterday I felt so in love with my 18month old son and I remember wondering if this was a symptom!@ottie27 I’m also working lol but it’s the weekend that’s the killer I think if I’m not pregnant this month then I’m going to try and not track next month it’s too much lol. Glad we are all in the same boat.@ClaraBean my friend had her first at 42 and is currently pregnant with her second at 44 so don’t worry you’ve got this ! 😍

My period is due Thursday and I definitely feel different this month. I am so in love with my husband and DD at the moment I just sit and stare at them which is not my typical PMS symptom. I have also had a dodgy belly and baby brain moments.
I actually could do without being pregnant this month as I am supposed to be waiting for an operation before conceiving so I guess at least if I get AF I won't be totally devastated. Well I will but I will be able to look for the silver linings.

Not sure about dpo as I use the Ava bracelet whilst breastfeeding all night and I don't think it gets my temperatures correct.

Yes!! Period due Wednesday but I'm trying not to test as I just can't face any more disappointment. I can't bare to see another negative. I had a chemical last July and nothing since and I'm 41 so try not to get my hopes up anymore but I can't help it! I don't have any tests in the house so that is helping hold me back from testing too. There's no point. I'll just be too sad.

Hi @FinnsMammy - yes I’m in limbo too! I think I’m currently about 7 dpo but haven’t been able to pinpoint ovulation exactly this month (peak fertility on the Friday evening but no temp rise til Tuesday, so could have been anywhere in between) so not really sure when to test. Hoping to last until at least Wednesday but we’ll see!

Interesting to hear that you had fairly clear cut symptoms last time. My mum said the same - she just knew when it had happened. No symptoms at all for me so far, and is it’s #1 for us I’ve got nothing to compare it to!

Two week wait is horrid isn’t it?! I’m back at work this time so at least something to distract me but last month was awful. How are you distracting yourself?
