2 dpo - TWW, anyone with me?

@Carlswhite29x your story sounds similar to mine. Me and other half were trying casually for 18 months before the bfp and mc this time last year. I had blood tests a few months before which were fine. I had them again a few weeks ago - my progesterone was 49 which was fine, waiting to speak to GP about the day 3 tests. Internal and external ultrasounds last week showed no issues (I had multiple cysts last year when I was mc'ing) so there is no indication anything is wrong. But I can't stop thinking that the ideal age for pregnancy is 30-35. I just want to see those magical two lines again ☺️

Hiya!

I'm 2dpo today could I possibly join this thread?

@lettyloulou baby #1 for me too. Yes, completely get it. Most of my friends have had theirs in their early 20's so even at 29 (30 in September) it can be a worrying time TTC. Late 20s to 30s is such a normal time to have a baby but because all my friends were so young I feel like I'm late to the party.

There is definitely so much pressure! Have you been TTC for a while? My pregnancy was unexpected then after the MC I decided to get the coil as I was pretty traumatised and not ready. 2 years on, I finally feel ready.

@Carlswhite29x yep this will be baby number one 🥰 how about you? Sorry if you've already mentioned in the thread. I'm 34 - if I did get a bfp this month my due date would be 3rd January which is a day after my 35th birthday (and a rubbish time of year to have a birthday but I'll take it 😂)

It's difficult sometimes to keep the faith that it'll happen as I spent years never getting pregnant whilst my friends would get pregnant just looking at a man 🙄 when I got my bfp last year I was in total shock. Then obviously the mc was the next shock. I feel like hurdle number one is getting pregnant then hurdle number two is staying pregnant. The actual stress of it all!

@NSJ28 yes, definitely. It's so nice to have people to chat to. I think everyone TTC needs someone to chat to.

I'm only 2dpo and I feel super tired as well, don't really have a reason to though as today was fairly restful.

I'm also getting this really weird cramping and sharp pains on my right side which I know isn't ovulation because i had ovulation pains/bleeding and my peak on the OPKs on friday/Saturday. I know it's far too early to be implantation cramping so I'm a bit curious as to what it could be and will admit I've been googling 😂😂 someone needs to confiscate my phone.

@lettyloulou completely understand that! If I'm busy I'm okay but it's the quieter moments that I start stalking forums and watching youtube videos about conception and birthing vlogs😂 I waited awhile to test when I got my BFP (which also resulted in a MC) too, think it was nearly two weeks because I literally was so convinced I was coming on. Will this be baby #1 for you?

Anyone else tried checking their cervix? I read that if it stays high after ovulation it could mean you are pregnant. I tried today and couldn't even feel it but it could be high as I have just ovulated.

[quote NSJ28]@lettyloulou welcome! The TWW is sooooo long! How are you feeling? [/quote]
Thank you ☺️ I'm excited to be trying again after the mc as that was devastating. I hope we don't have to go another 18 months for a bfp though!

@NSJ28 oh I know these 4 days have felt like 2 weeks already! Going so so slow this time round! 😩

[quote Carlswhite29x]@lettyloulou I'm 2dpo so about the same as you how are you feeling about the tww?[/quote]
Hi 👋🏻 I'm fine about it when I'm focused on something else like work, but then as soon as I remember I could be pregnant I'm obsessed again! How about you? When I got my BFP before my mc last year I was so used to af arriving every month that I didn't even think about it until I was four days late - I only took a test out of annoyance because I felt like I was coming on any minute 😅 however now I'm planning it so carefully I'm aware of it every minute 🙄

@lettyloulou I'm 2dpo so about the same as you how are you feeling about the tww?

Hi everyone, I'm 1DPO do a little behind the rest of you but would love to join and hopefully see some lovely BFPs 😍🐣

@GoT1904 il be happy to hold off till after 8dpo i hate the disappointment but have no self control when it comes to testing 🙃
🤞🤞 you get bfp when you do test xx

@Cindyindy I was really tempted to test this morning but managed not to!! I'm hoping to hold out till 10dpo. However I just realised that I'll be working with DP that day, so I might do 9dpo and 11dpo lol. How about you? Xx

14GoT1904 the waiting is torture isnt it 😫 when are you testing ? Hopefully you get your #4 🤞

@Cindyindy I'm TTC #4 too :) 6dpo here. Feel like I've been 6dpo for about 6 years 😂😁

Hi im 2po 👋 going to be a long week of waiting , ttc#4 x

@NSJ28 oh I probably won’t be testing unless my AF is late! The disappointment when the test is negative is horrible 😩 I’m so sorry to hear about your MC. sending you lots of baby dust for this month xx

@NSJ28 yeah it's funny how you often get absolutely no symptoms yet we all find ourselves symptom spotting like crazy in the TWW. I had loads of symptoms last month and a late AF so I was convinced I was pregnant, like 98% sure and I got 2 BFNs.

I'm going to try and keep myself as busy as possible but it will be really nice to have people to chat to during this time that are also going through it. I think my friends are sick of hearing me 😂 I have one friend who I can chat to alot about it because she is baby crazy and another that I can also chat to but don't want to overdo it with her as she wants to TTC but her partner is backwards and forwards about it. Plus she is in a same sex couple so the process for her is more difficult with having to use donor sperm. She can't just DTD every month and hope it works, she has to travel to her donor and book time off work etc. She does enjoy talking about TTC but I have noticed recently she seems a little sadder about it or deflated.

When do you think you will test? I really can't make up my mind hahaha.

@NSJ28 yes, so true! When I fell pregnant I literally would not have been able to tell other than my AF being late and I think it was two weeks before I actually tested because I was so convinced AF was going to arrive.

We DTD close to ovulation so fingers and toes crossed that it was enough.

Anyone else go from being really calm and relaxed about TTC to really obsessive/anxious about it from hour to hour? I can be so chilled and just thinking "it happens when it happens" one moment and then googling/lurking these forums obsessively the next 😂
