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 ? 🙈🤞🏻

@Veronika13 Well, always glad to help! Yes, I’ve told him. We’re both a bit of an odd combination of excited because we really want this, but nervous because our last pregnancy was chemical. And because I have endo, my doctor’s have said that might happen a lot. So we’re trying to be positive, but it’ll be a few weeks until either of us are properly excited I think ❤️

@ImmyTTC

Gaaaahhhh, I caved and tested early, BFP at 9dpo!

Fingers crossed this one sticks, and is my rainbow baby. The second line appeared almost instantly, and now I feel a lot less crazy about the symptom spotting and the nutty dreams 😅

Omg congrats!!! What a lovely line! I was just thinking we haven't had positives here for a few days, when will we see them! And here you are 😄 so so happy for you 😊 told your OH? X

@Soph011 this happened my friend her period was 2 weeks late she only got the faintest line and she ended up having a baby girl I think she just implanted very late. I think her line was faint for quiet a bit too maybe book an appointment with your doctor and get your bloods done as the docs pregnancy test will not pick it up if your getting a faint line on super sensitive one my friends theory is baby girls give her faint positives lol so maybe you’re pregnant with a girl . Good luck xx

@ImmyTTC Sorry to hear about your last cycle Flowers Those symptoms do sound very promising and is way more than I am having. I have only really felt twinges mainly at night but a bit more in the day today and my nipples are sore but my boobs aren't... If I had to place a bet on it, I would say that it will be a BFN for me but I am keeping positive thoughts as I haven't gone through this before so I don't really know what my body will tell me if that makes sense. So if you defo cannot wait, when are you going to test? Fingers crossed for BFP!! x

ImmyTTC · 31/03/2021 12:06

@JoannaJellyBean I've had a bunch of symptoms since 5dpo but trying not to get my hopes up too much as I had a chemical pregnancy on my last cycle. I told myself I was going to wait to test until AF was due, but I can't do it!! I've also had situations like my last cycle where I got a negative test 2 days before AF was due and BFP on the day AF was meant to show up, so the early negatives don't stress me out too much.

My symptoms so far have been craaazy dreams every night for the past 3 nights, some mild cramping, back ache, a brief bit of nausea, sneezing but no cold, white creamy CM (sorry if TMI!) and I've been completely exhausted. I've napped for at least an hour, 3 days in a row, and that's really unlike me. But the issue is, I also have endometriosis and get weird symptoms all the time anyway. The fatigue and dreams are definitely different from normal, but it could be due to my weird hormones, not pregnancy Confused

How about you? Any symptoms yet x

JoannaJellyBean · 31/03/2021 11:30

@ImmyTTC we are at exactly the same point! Grin 8dpo! Let me know how 10dpo test goes (fingers crossed for BFP), I am too scared to test early! Do you feel any different? Experiencing any tww symptoms? I sometimes think I am but then it could just be my mind playing tricks on me and some women don't get symptoms but are pg sooo that isn't helpful! Please keep me posted on your progress x

ImmyTTC · 31/03/2021 10:52

@JoannaJellyBean Hey! I’m also testing soon, I feel like we’re in a very similar part of the wait 😅 I’m 8dpo and testing at 10dpo, and 12dpo. And after, if they’re negative, I’ll just wait for AF to either show or not show before making any more testing decisions 😂

JoannaJellyBean · 31/03/2021 09:18

@Veronika13 I think thats probably normal, its a big decision/responsibility to have a baby, it's defo not a decision I took lightly! I have always been very career focused with the whole attitude "there is plenty of time to decide that". A baby will change your life but for the better! A friend of mine said to me if you have a baby you will never regret it ever, but can you say the same if you don't and you miss the window? Totally normal to have those kind of dreams Smile I was dreaming about Mary Popins last night - god knows why and now I cannot get "Lets go fly a kite" out of my bloody head haha

I am defo going to wait till Monday, if it is a BFN I want to be sure it is and not because its too early, just thinking about it not being pos makes me emotional but if it is, I will pick myself back up and keep on trucking! xx

Veronika13 · 31/03/2021 02:21

@JoannaJellyBean my af is due 12 April so I've a long way to go 😁
Feeling still patient but did have a dream last night that I found out I was pregnant and was really upset that the life I know is gone.

Strange as I really want the baby and don't feel like that when I'm awake 🤣
So as patient as I intend to be, clearly I'm already affected by the process haha
Just a few more days for you! Do you think you can hold off or will test a bit early ? X

Soph011 · 30/03/2021 16:34

Hi, so just after a bit of advice. I’m currently 12 days late on period . I am also never ever late or miss a period, 31 days between cycles . Last period was 18/2/21. I’ve done some tests , FREP CB , strip tests etc . And the last day or so I swear I can see the faintest of lines . Is there a chance of pregnancy? Did anybody else’s test not test positive until way over ? I’ve been having symptoms ; aching & sleepy etc . Just after a bit of hope 😩 ANY sort of advice pls xx

JGessie · 30/03/2021 12:11

@Mrsmujic I forgot to ask!! When's your due date?

JGessie · 30/03/2021 12:09

Thank you @JoannaJellyBean @2020newbie!

@Mrsmujic congratulations!!! Thats wonderful news. I'm so glad you got it on the digi, makes it feel more real right? I got my first digi BFP today at 13 dpo. I tried to hold off as long as I could before using it! Due date looks to be Dec 6-8 depending on which app I listen to. I think Dec 6 is more accurate but guess I'll have to wait and see!!

I've already self referred to the Maternity Services in my local area. I called my GP first and they weren't really interested and told me to self-refer. Googled maternity services at the the hospital I know I prefer and submitted the form so waiting for my booking in appointment now. Pretty nervous about this bean sticking etc. so I think it's going to be a long and slow road ahead!

Mrsmujic · 30/03/2021 10:07

@JGessie thanks so much! Congratulations!! When would your dyey date be? I did a CB digital today and got positive 1-2 weeks! When do we contact the gp? X

JoannaJellyBean · 30/03/2021 10:05

Forgot to tag haha @Veronika13 & @JGessie

JoannaJellyBean · 30/03/2021 10:04

Veronika13 Heyyyyy! This is my first month of trying, I had my implant removed in January and Feb my body was adjusting. I think I have done everything right, opk testing, lh surge, timed sex but who the hell knows! The lack of control and what feels like sheer luck is a minefield! I am quite calm but I am not a patient person and this tww is horrible! I will be testing 5th April which is 1 day before af... The fact you're so calm is amazing - like you say great environment for baby making, when are you testing?

JGessie Congrats!!!! That is most definitely BFP Star

2020newbie · 30/03/2021 09:47

Congratulations @JGessie

I’m 8dpo and getting the urge to test now trying to hang off to at least 12dpo I had said I’d wait to 14 dpo but I don’t think i can lol

JGessie · 30/03/2021 08:56

@Mrsmujic also it's definitely true that the morning sample is generally much more concentrated than any that follow so try again in the morning and see how you get on. I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

JGessie · 30/03/2021 08:55

@Mrsmujic try not to feel disheartened by the cheap strips, I've found them to be a lot weaker than FRERs and CBs. I did x4 tests this AM (I can't help myself) and this is what they all looked like at 13dpo if this helps.

Anyone else currently on the two week wait ?
Veronika13 · 29/03/2021 22:49

@Mrsmujic

Girls, after some advice.. I've had 2 positive frer so far, I'm one day late (minimum) for at today. I took a cheapy one step today and it's so faint! But the frers are much darker.. I did have to go for a wee at about 5:45 and tested at 9am.. is it just less hormones in my urine? I thought it would show considering at is late and the other positives.. I've got more frer coming today and clear blue digi.. it's just making me question if I'm pregnant or not??! Any advice? X
I think if you're getting lines then you are. But really we can't see inside your uterus so don't want to tell you one thing when actually we've no idea 😁 can you keep yourself busy for a day? Then test tomorrow again. I know it just be hard xx
Veronika13 · 29/03/2021 22:47

@JoannaJellyBean

Hi all, the thread seems to be super lucky! This is my 1st tww and it's hell! 6 dpo going to take the dreaded test next Monday so still a week to go! How is everyone doing today?
Hello 👋🏻 welcome! I am 3 DPO, first cycle. Feeling confident/calm? We've covered all bases, and I've been healthy and relaxed/well rested. Feel like it's been a perfect environment for the baby 😆

How long have you been trying for? When are you planning to test?

FinnsMammy · 29/03/2021 12:07

@ImmyTTC my dreams are so crazy too lol they are getting crazier... I think go and test with a frer once you hit 10 DPO why wait lol

ImmyTTC · 29/03/2021 11:51

@FinnsMammy I really hope so! I’m super nauseous today as well, and more crazy dreams last night. My boyfriend kissed me on the forehead this morning while I was sleeping and I woke with a start because I was dreaming I was in an aquarium and I thought he was an octopus 😅 Trying to wait to test, but the temptation to buy some FRER or CB early detection is getting progressively higher 😂

@heybabes huuuuuuge congratulations! You must be so excited ❤️
