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 ? 🙈🤞🏻

@2018isanewyear lol that’s so strange !! @Amyc94 I’m grand I actually don’t have any symptoms today except super vivid dreams lol I’m excited to test in 2 days🤞🏻@ottie27 I would defo have tested by now I have no self control lol but I only have one first response test the rest are Tesco digital from the day of missed period so it’s a waiting game .. also I tried to estimate my last pregnancy and I don’t think I got a positive until DPO 11 or 12 so I’m trying not to test too early but for you a line is a line so congrats and keep us updated! 🥰 @TTC94 sorry to hear AF arrived but maybe next month is your month stay positive and look after yourself first and foremost and things will fall into place! x

@FinnsMammy ok very strange my ds was born the 17th September too Shock

Good luck everyone for this month I'm going to try to not test untill Monday if af doesn't arrive on Sunday seeing as we aren't officially trying I Havnt got any tests in as I can't resist if they are in the house

Amyc94 · 23/03/2021 07:41

@FinnsMammy @ottie27 I'm due on Sunday and 9dpo today too 🙈 how are you both feeling?

Exciting that you may see a little something on your test @ottie27

I'm so tempted to start testing even though I know it's early, and I will just wish I hadn't if I get BFNs 🙈

Amyc94 · 23/03/2021 07:39

@TTC94 oh I'm sorry :( I have everything crossed for next month 🤍

Amyc94 · 23/03/2021 07:39

@Soexciting eeek your name says it all 👏🏼 so happy for you! Amazing news

Hopefulhedgehog · 23/03/2021 07:32

So sorry AF has arrived @TTC94. Hope you can regroup over the next couple of weeks and get ready for another cycle. It must be really tough. Xx

ottie27 · 23/03/2021 07:31

So sorry to hear this @TTC94. Really hope next month is your month x

ottie27 · 23/03/2021 07:29

@FinnsMammy I’m not sure exactly as couldn’t quite pinpoint ovulation and I have 3 apps all saying different things, but I’m guessing I’m about 9 dpo as well so realistically probably too early. I know that realistically I need to wait a few more days before I test again, but knowing it and doing it are two different things!

TTC94 · 23/03/2021 07:27

Morning all,

I am out for the month now. My period arrived overnight.

Onto month 13 of TTC#1 in April then...

Wishing you all luck for the remainder of your two week wait! It would be nice to see some hope for the rest of us!

Xx

FinnsMammy · 23/03/2021 07:25

@2018isanewyear we are in sinc I’m also due Sunday for AF. 9DPO today but I also have an 18 month old son born September 17 2019! @ottie27 that’s promising how many days DPO are you? X I’m going to test at 11 DPO I think🤞🏻🤞🏻😬

How’s everyone doing this morning?

I caved and tested.... might might might have the very very faintest of squinters. DP says he sees nothing though. Spoil sport!

2018isanewyear · 22/03/2021 21:57

Sorry should add not using opks so that's an estimate

2018isanewyear · 22/03/2021 21:52

Can I tentatively join please we are not officially try however we are no longer preventing.

Ttc no2 ds is 18months, last time I fell after 3 cycles which ended in mc at 8 weeks and then took another 12months to fall with ds although really was actively trying for about 8 of those months due to not feeling ready. We put so much pressure on it last time that we are trying to take a more relaxed approach... how long that will last for I don't know Blush

Currently cycle 3 of not preventing 8dpo af due Sunday

MrsGee20 · 22/03/2021 21:32

@Soexciting that is amazing, I can definitely see it! Keep us updated over the next few days 😍😍 so happy for you!

Sending love to everyone having a tough time with this. I was saying to my husband this evening that I never thought it’d be like this! We were due to get married last May but got postponed due to Covid & so we had to put off trying till January (we got married late December). I couldn’t wait to start trying and so happy we’re able to now after what felt like a long wait but it’s way more stressful than I anticipated.

Baby dust and positive vibes everyone. Night night ✨ 💖

FinnsMammy · 22/03/2021 19:33

@Soexciting that’s amazing !! Congrats I think I will wait till DPO 11 to test too feels like a lucky number ☘️*@TTC94 sorry you’re feeling so down but @MrsGee20* gave you some great advice I think you need to look after yourself and believe it will happen when it’s meant to and don’t give up home yet you are still in with a chance this month stay positive xx

@Soexciting huge congratulations I will keep everything crossed that it develops into a nice healthy strong positive for you. So lovely to have some positive news already on this thread.

@TTC94 I’m so sorry you’ve had such a hard time of it but try not to give up hope. There is still every chance that you will have a child even if it turns out to be a more difficult journey than you hoped for or anticipated. When you do finally get to hold your baby in your arms it will make all of this heartbreak worthwhile. A close friend of mine had a similar experience to you, she had a miscarriage about 9 months into ttc and then nothing for another year. She was on the verge of giving up when it happened! I know that that’s a cliche and it doesn’t happen for everyone but I just wanted to try and give you some hope. This is one of the hardest things we can do as women. We’re biologically programmed to want children but when it doesn’t happen, no one can truly understand the heartbreak and agony it causes. Take time for some self care. I’m not sure if it’s possible at the moment with lockdown but I highly recommend acupuncture as a relaxation method. It has also been suggested to aid conception but I think it’s benefits when ttc and dealing with the stress it causes, are amazing all on its own. Sending you love and hugs x

ottie27 · 22/03/2021 19:11

@Soexciting I see it too!! Congratulations!!

Feeling a few more symptoms / figments of my imagination today too, so I’m hoping you’re right about it being a lucky thread! I’m not sure I will hold out til Wednesday... may well end up testing tomorrow!

xoJellyBean · 22/03/2021 19:07

5dpo here 🤪 going crazyyyyy

@Soexciting congrats!!

Soexciting · 22/03/2021 19:07

I never understood how hard it was to take a picture of a faint line until today Blush

Hopefulhedgehog · 22/03/2021 19:04

@Soexciting I see it and I can honestly NEVER see squinters! Huge congrats!

Soexciting · 22/03/2021 19:00

I can tentatively say this is a lucky thread... I a squinter at 11dpo

Anyone else currently on the two week wait ?
Mrsmujic · 22/03/2021 18:30

@TTC94 i know!! Little does she know we've been trying since last June! Then if I do get lucky the 1st 3 months would consist of 'why don't you want a glass of wine?! Are you pregnant??' haha!!!

TTC94 · 22/03/2021 18:23

@Mrsmujic it’s so frustrating isn’t it?!

I get the same from practically everyone in my husband’s family.

I’m on the verge of telling losing my temper concerning it because it is increasingly pissing me off - so insensitive and unnecessary.

Sending you positivity and good luck xx

Mrsmujic · 22/03/2021 18:18

I got the old "when are you having a baby?!" From the MIL today.. 🤦 How don't women realise it's more difficult than flicking a switch that says 'pregnant' / 'not pregnant' arghhh! We are wanting to keep it just between the two of us until 12 weeks if we do get lucky, really dont want anyone to know we are trying and don't see why we should have to tell anyone either.. Still a week to go too 😐
