2 week wait begins- would love some company!

So the dreaded 2 week wait begins and really would like some cycle buddies while we wait Smile

Little back ground, I am 36 and we have been trying for about 10years, can't get any help from the nhs for investigation etc because I am over weight (I keep trying and failing). I have insulin resistance PCOS and under active thyroid.

I have only been lucky enough to get pregnant once in 10years back in 2019 but sadly lost the pregnancy at 7 weeks.

Sadly mentally it's been a huge struggle, but I have my prescribed meds increased (metaformin etc) and taking a number of supplements. And for the first time since my periods began I have had 2 cycles that exactly the same length in a row, so the meds must be doing something!

Would love to get to know some others and your fertility journey 😀

Sorry for the late reply, got caught up in work stuff 🤦🏼‍♀️

Lovely to see so many people needing company too in the 2 week wait 😊

By the way I personally don't feel there is anything too TMI, sometimes you just got to say it how it is 😂

Even though my fertility journey hasn't been easy (and extremely long) I am actually feeling very positive about this cycle, we did as much as we possibly could do, my meds seem to be doing the right things so now it's just a case of waiting (and hopefully not driving myself mad symptom spotting)!

So I think I believe I am 3dpo, how about everyone else? Are you trying for your first, second, third?

Hi all! Annoyingly, my dpo is a little uncertain, despite tracking. I'm either 2 or 3 dpo today.

I missed an overnight peak on Monday, so expected to O on Tuesday. Think it happened on Weds now, due to discomfort and terrible mood (did not DTD that day unfortunately), but on Thursday I had some yellowy brown discharge after DTD (sorry if TMI), and as I never spot mid-cycle, now I think maybe a 4cm cyst I have in my right ovary burst and the discomfort I felt was mostly due to that acting up. Angry It was different than the localised twinges I usually get. I'm just grateful that if it was a rupture, it didn't cause me lots of pain at the time.

So, I'm in the TWW but not at all hopeful. This comes after three losses in April, June (ectopic), and August. We conceive easily, but I can't seem to hold on to them. I'm the wrong side of 38, which is probably to blame, and ttc #1.

@beanchopper17, sorry to hear about your loss and your tough journey. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you and all of us. Here's to a lucky thread!

Hey! My 2 week wait has just started too 😊

Cycle 7 for us... used pre seed this month for the first time 🤞🏻

That's a long time - but I'm sure you, too, will succeed in this! Have you tried eating plant based for a while? I did this when my periods were super painful and strong, and I've lost some weight + periods are now much better!

We are on our 9th month of trying to conceive baby #1. I'm 14dpo, period was due today. Yesterday on 13dpo I had some spotting and today there's absolutely nothing. 😑 So idk what's happening. I'll try to refrain from testing because I have a feeling AF is just messing with me and will come eventually. 😐
