Anyone else currently on the two week wait ?

@MrsGee20

Thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate it!

I’m going to get into my comfies, eat a comforting meal and try to unwind.

The thought of another cycle of af, ovulation, tww etc is just so draining and makes me want to give up!

Thanks for the podcast recommendation and for the positive stories from your friends’ experiences.
I will take a listen to the podcast, perhaps through the car on my drive to work!

Wishing you luck for your tww!

Xx

@TTC94 I am sending you a HUGE hug first of all! I’m only on cycle 3 and can’t understand what you’ve been through at all. So sorry about your miscarriage.

What I will say is I know friends who have taken 12/18 months to get pregnant but are now either happy mummy’s or my other friend is now 6 months pregnant! So please don’t give up hope.

Can you run a bubble bath, listen to a podcast or read a book? Just chill in your dressing gown and relax. Maybe get your dressing gown/towel on the radiator for coming out of the bath! I highly recommend the podcast Shagged, married, annoyed by Chris & Rosie Ramsey, it makes me laugh sooo much!!!

hole not whole*

According to my apps, my period is/was due yesterday, today or tomorrow. I tested today and yesterday, both very, very negative.

I feel like I’m getting slight af twinges now. Even though I didn’t expect to fall pregnant again after just having a miscarriage (which took 11 cycles to happen) I’m so bloody depressed that I’m not. I feel more miserable and sad than I expected to. I just feel like it’s never going to happen for me...

I really am wallowing in my own self-pity and feeling emotionally very low. Any advice on how to get myself out of this whole? I’d probably say after 12 months of TTC now and having had a miscarriage, I’m at the lowest point I could be (aside from having another miscarriage of course).

I just feel like giving up and accepting that my husband and I will never have a child...

For those of you who are still waiting and are quite soon into your tww, I hope the days go quickly for you and that you have some good news soon!

Xx

@Hopefulhedgehog it’s also cycle 3 for me! How cool. I haven’t tested until the day of my missed period in the past but Sunday feels so far away!!

So will you take a test tomorrow? I’m tempted to wait until Wednesday/Thursday and see what happens then... I know what you mean though, the closer it gets, the more symptom spotting I am doing and possibly more disappointment ... gah so hard to know!

All the best for you tomorrow I hope you get your BFP! 🤞🤞🤞

Hi @MrsGee20 I'm also 8dpo. When do you normally start testing? I've bought ICs this month so just going to start from 9dpo. Last month I held out and I think it made me more anxious. It's only cycle #3 for me so I guess I'm still working out what is the best approach for me.

Eeek how’s everyone feeling? I feel like I ovulated about 4 weeks ago and it’s only been 8 days!!

I don’t know whether to test this week or wait for AF to be late. Also HOW do we stay calm and not get overly excited/hopeful? Any tips?! 😂🙈

@FinnsMammy I suppose there is a chance it could be but I just don’t have a good feeling about it. I’ve had it previous months and not had a bfp so I’m automatically tuned to think the worst when it happens. I think I’m about 10dpo but didn’t track this month as it was really stressing me out so can’t be 100% sure. I had brown spotting in my last pregnancy but just feel different this time round, like I’m expecting there to be a problem or for things to go wrong!

@FinnsMammy Thank you! Yeah, I’m trying not to look into anything and I’m going to try and wait to test until AF is due... but that may be tricky 😂

Hi everyone! Hope it's ok to jump on this thread... none of my friends (that I know of) are TTC at the moment, plus we can't realistically see each other anyway so would be great to have some support!

I'm 28, TTC#1 and on Cycle 3, I think I'm 7DPO. I potentially had a CP last cycle (found an old test which I disregarded at 12DPO and it has 2 clear lines on, but had period 2 days after). I haven't had super obvious symptoms yet other than tender breasts and small twinges in my ovary areas on one side which I haven't had before! I know it's too early to be anything though...

I really hope things will happen soon, but there's always that niggling fear that something might be wrong and it's going to take a long time. I have irregular periods which is a bit of a worry, but I do ovulate each cycle so fingers crossed! Good luck to everyone :)

@FinnsMammy that sounds very positive with the pulling sensation. A lot my friends had that and got their BFP so fingers crossed for you. Do you temp?

@Soexciting my rhr has dropped as well this morning. Really hoping it’s implantation rather than a sign that AF is on her way! Temp is still high though, which is weird, as I thought they were sort of related? How many dpo are you? I’ve heard some women can implant quite late so fingers crossed it’s implantation for both of us!

Other more positive signs include a small amount of milky cm last night (obviously I googled when I saw it and apparently this might be a sign?) and one of my boobs being so sore I found it hard to sleep on my front last night. They might be slightly veiny too, but equally this could be my imagination!

Hi everyone!

This is my first cycle ttc #1, and my first ever tww! We weren’t planning on starting trying until the end of the year, but then we had an unplanned pregnancy that turned out to be a chemical pregnancy and decided to start trying now. I only had one day of knowing I was pregnant, but it was one of the best days we’ve had, and I hope I can find that again ❤️

How is everyone doing with their waiting? I’m literally 1DPO and I feel like a nutcase! 😅

Baby dust to all of you, I really hope this is a lucky thread ☘️

Hello, joining on here. My period is one day late so I’m trying to hold out just a few more days to test.

It’s so hard to tell if the symptoms are pregnancy or PMS. I’m so hopeful every month and then terrible let down when my period arrives like clockwork.

The last time I got pregnant, three years ago, I really didn’t have any symptoms early on.

Best of luck to all of you.

TMI warning! So its day 21 and I have woken up to watery brown blood - very light and only really when I wipe but a few days earlier than I usually get it! So frustrated! Part of me wants to think it’s implantation but the logical part of me knows it’s probably just the start of AF, just a few days early as an extra special treat for me this month! Guess it’s probably not going to be my month this month! 😢

@ottie27 I don't remember my symptoms when I conceived DD but I am on a thread and one of my posts says that I don't have any symptoms apart from my boobs are much less sore than usual (and a dodgy belly). I got my BFP a few days later.
@TTC94 good luck for the next few days. So sorry to hear about your MC.

I was feeling so positive then my Ava finished updating. Resting heart rate and temperature down... That's a shame, too late for implantation dip will just have to keep an eye on it. Realistically I have no business being pregnant when I am waiting for an operation so either way it's win-win or lose-lose for me.

@MrsGee20 thank you! Fingers crossed for you too xxx

Hi girls! Cycle #13 and 11DPO. Let's just say that I'm done symptom spotting. All I do is just hope. We've done some checks and there doesn't seem anything wrong so it's just a waiting game. Can't wait to see that BFP. No way I'm testing before I'm late.. every time it breaks our heart. Fingers crossed we all see those two lines soon xx

@TTC94 good luck, hope it’s your month. So sorry to hear about your MC ❤️

this month* not this morning
