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 ? 🙈🤞🏻

Big congratulations @heybabes!!

Veronika13 · 29/03/2021 01:28

Congratulations @heybabes , so you'll wait two days beofre telling DP? The suspense haha. Come and share your thoughts with us when you feel like you can't hold off any longer :)

As of today I'm officially starting my 14 day countdown DPO.. first one ever . I am confident I can remain calm and not spot check like an obsessed person, but we shall seeHmm
I know it can be a stressful time for many, but for me right now it's so heartwarming and exciting. We are on our road to become mums 😊

@FinnsMammy Oh this is so helpful! I had some crazy vivid dreams last night and sore boobs this evening. I also took a 3 hour nap this afternoon which is really rare for me. And I’ve also been sneezing. Hopefully I get a BFP soon too!

@Bexboo1 well, I want to wait until my period’s due which would be around the 6th or 7th (my luteal phase varies)... but I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait 😬 How about you?

Bexboo1 · 28/03/2021 17:29

@ImmyTTC aww fingers crossed for your bfp! When are you testing? Yeah it's my first too!

Hi. Been TTC for a few months but decided to have a break this month from tracking and therefore weren’t really trying. Only dtd once in the fertile week which was also the day I ovulated according to my app but I’m not sure. I’m supposedly 7dpo with AF due on 4th April. However on the evening of 5dpo I noticed two spots of blood and nothing since. Could this be implantation bleeding? It seems quite early to me also the chances of actually being pregnant seem pretty slim. I’m driving myself crazy wondering!

ImmyTTC · 28/03/2021 15:26

@Bexboo1 yes, this is my first! I had a chemical pregnancy on my last cycle, so I’m hoping I get a BFP this cycle and it sticks. But I also have endometriosis, so I’m at a higher risk of miscarriage and I may get a few BFPs before I actually manage to carry a pregnancy. Just trying to keep positive!

Is this your first?

Ladies here are my symptoms from 6DPO until i got my BFP on DPO 11.I know I was constantly looking at other people’s tww symptoms so I thought I’d share mine. Fingers crossed to all you girls still in the tww! Xx

7 DPO. Stabbing feeling in my left boob.Woke up extremely tired, chills and slight lightening crotch! Went to bed early tonight woke up to a pulling feeling in my stomach like all my muscles were being pulled out of my stomach followed by tiny stinging pricks felt like getting hit with tiny lazer beams. Vivid dreams again.
8DPO woke up metallic taste in mouth.Slight pinching in left hand side. Sneezing a lot.
9DPO Very vivid dream last night,lots of lightening crotch and tingling left boob.
10DPO think I got a squinter line on cheap tear .Backache again. Sneezing.

@heybabes massive congratulations!

I wish I bought a lottery ticket when I predicted this to be a lucky thread! What a wonderful thread. So many early Christmas presents!

heybabes · 28/03/2021 15:10

Hi guys just wanted to let you know that I caved and tested this morning. I couldn't sleep last night I had such strange cramps and I thought screw it, and tested 13DPO. It’s a BFP! What a lucky thread!

I wasn’t even surprised or anything when I saw the result, even though I couldn’t really imagine it happening to me just yet. But I just knew the feelings I had were different and really relate to the “just feeling pregnant”.

I am worried about the cramping and also my temperature dropped today which it does before my period so a little worried, but hopefully will cross that bridge when I get to it.

Haven’t even told my SO yet!! We have my stepson this weekend and he’s going back to his mums at 5pm, so I’m gonna wait until my SO comes back from dropping him off. Not sure what to say!!

Anyone else currently on the two week wait ?
Bexboo1 · 28/03/2021 14:39

@ImmyTTC I had this too, 9dpo for me now. It's hard not to symptom spot isn't it? Will this be your first?

ImmyTTC · 28/03/2021 13:51

5dpo and I felt super bloated this morning and had some cramping, and a tiny bit of nausea just for a couple of minutes. Is this anything? I think I’m probably just symptom spotting and this is nothing, but wanted to know what anyone else thought? 😂

2018isanewyear · 27/03/2021 12:43

Bought some cheapies going to wait until tomorrow and rest if af hasn't shown

2018isanewyear · 27/03/2021 07:56

I have really bad cramps today (af due today/tomorrow) so I think I'm out, I'm so tempted to get a test on walk today but don't want to be disappointed by a bfn

Soexciting · 27/03/2021 07:38

I am terrible at line eyes but see something on @ottie27 and @Mrsmujic tests. Fingers crossed they darken up.

@Whatshouldicallme I could see something on your second pic so I am delighted it darkened up for you.

My temps were relatively low but quite stable this month but there did seem to be a triphasic pattern.

There is a Due in December 21 thread over on the pregnancy board if any of the BFPs want to join.

My due December 19 board turned into a private facebook group and 2 years on we still talk all the time and help each other out with baby stuff.

Bexboo1 · 26/03/2021 22:05

@Bee44 it's so hard not to symptom spot isn't it? I didn't have anything at all last month so I just feel strange this month! When are you testing? My friend at work was constantly eating when she was pregnant too, I noticed but didn't say anything I didn't want her to think I was being intrusive! Hope we both get our BFPs this month 💕

Bee44 · 26/03/2021 21:29

@Bexboo1 I was trying not to symptom spot either but completely failed after 1DPO 😂 last month I had heartburn from ovulation to AF and convinced myself that I was pregnant. This month I've had extreme hunger from 2DPO, literally a bottomless pit - I'm eating, being full for probably 15 minutes and then absolutely starving again. A colleague asked me if I was pregnant actually (no one knows we're TTC!) because I've been eating so often. I'm never like this! I'll be pretty annoyed if I get a BFN this month after my body's made me eat and eat but I'm still trying not to get my hopes up after last months fiasco!

Bexboo1 · 26/03/2021 21:16

@Bee44 trying not to that was supposed to say!

Bexboo1 · 26/03/2021 21:15

@Bee44 I've had mild cramping and my tummy feels full with pressure, I've also had stabbing pains too but no spotting. I've been burping all day today which I don't normally do and I feel lightheaded when I stand up. Trying to to get my hopes up though by symptom spotting! What about you?

Bee44 · 26/03/2021 20:49

Congratulations to those with BFPs 💖 I definitely see lines! @Bexboo1 I'm 8DPO today so we're pretty close, have you had any symptoms? I'm still deciding whether to invest in a FRER or just wait until AF day 🤔

MissOrganisedMe · 26/03/2021 20:19

Hi, I'll join if you don't mind? TTC#2 but had a very early miscarriage in Jan. I think it's classed as a chemical pregnancy? I feel like I have symptoms this month, who doesn't 🤣, but I can't deal with the disappointment again so going to try to wait till next weekend to test. That will be 1 week late for AF. Not that it will change any outcome but I'll defo be late.

My boobs feel really strange this time. I breastfed #1 and it's like that full feeling, not sore, not achey but I'm hyper aware of them. Definitely bigger too but I know the mind plays tricks on us!

Congratulations to all those that got BFP's 🎉

Bexboo1 · 26/03/2021 19:04

Hi, just joining in. I’m 7dpo waiting for monday to test with frer, longest wait ever! Is anyone else 7dpo? Xx

Whatshouldicallme · 26/03/2021 16:19

Best of luck @heybabes! Fingers crossed for you

heybabes · 26/03/2021 15:20

Congrats @whatshouldicallme ! This really is a lucky thread, so many BFPs. I'm sooooo tempted to test this evening or tomorrow when I will be 12DPO, but I don't want to cut this feeling of thinking I'm pregnant short if I just get a BFN. Plus my stepson is with us this weekend (he's 4) and if we're going to celebrate or commiserate, I think I'd rather just be on our own!

I was thinking I may test on Sunday evening (13DPO) once my stepson has gone back to his mums...
