Anyone going through the 2 weeks wait? 😭

Hiya

Anyone going through the 2 week wait? I’m trying not to symptom spot but it’s so hard. I’m approx 7 dpo. Today I’ve had sharp pains in my left side, tired and a headache that I can’t shift. I’ve been ttc for a few months now after a MMC in August. It’s so stressful 😭

@Ttc33 @Yolo23 hope your both okay 💗

i feel like I’m on a rollercoaster! I had the faintest line on an frer at 10DPO (so faint a picture wouldn’t even pick it up), yesterday at 13dpo I did a normal test and was negative so thought that was it. Today tested on a clear blue and was positive and now I’ve started bleeding (14dpo today and AF due around now) I’m guessing it’s a chemical pregnancy 😢.

congratulations @Emmamoo89 ! We’ve had similar discussions but I just think that even if there are struggles at times, in most cases will be short term 🥰 you don’t want to look back and regret not having a baby!

My partner is happy but is worried isn't not the right time just with the cost of living ATM. But I'm sure we'll manage and make it work. I may just have to go back to work a bit sooner. Got an 8 month old x

Emmamoo89 · 29/11/2022 09:23

Got my bfp 🥰

Ahh I’m sorry to hear that - positive that the pillow trick worked though! ☺️ That’s hopeful for next time..
Ive been trying in totality 2.5 years - I was with my ex partner for almost 10 years and then the relationship broke down. I discovered I had endo after a referral to IVF (obviously couldn’t go through with IVF) but had operations.
muself and my partner now - the love of my life (everything happens for a reason!) have been together for 2.5 years and only trying since July. I was expecting to need referral to IVF still so this is hopeful but disappointing at the same time x

That’s good my lovely. What’s your situation? Have you been TTC long? Xx

Well me and my husband have been having unprotected sex for 4 years but wasn’t really trying. When we decided to try in May it happened straight away by putting a pillow under my bum for 20 minutes at a time. What about you? X

@Yolo23 aww I’m really sorry. It’s sounds like a chemical pregnancy to me. It happened to me when I was 21. It lasted like a normal period roughly 6/7 days. Sending you hugs xx

@Matildahoney it really is. After my loss a few months ago I just find it tougher and tougher each month. Hoping for a Christmas miracle. I’m going to stop tracking ovulation now and just try and relax. It’s such a strain on my marriage atm x

Hi everyone, quick update.. had a blob or so in the loo this morning after bleeding off and on yesterday, still not on proper AF but my digital now says not pregnant so I guess that’s the end of that! 😩
One thing I will never do again is test even the slightest bit early (wasted so much money on tests this month and had 5/6 BFPs) just sharing some advice. Feeling ok but just want the bleeding to start now so it can be over with and we can enjoy our holiday to Dominican on Saturday. If anyone has any advice around how long it takes to start, and how long generally it may last, I’d really appreciate it 😥🥺 xx

Matildahoney · 27/11/2022 11:38

@Ttc33 it's just soul destroying isn't it! Most important thing is to take care of yourself. Sending lots of luck whatever you decide x

@Emmamoo89 thank you ❤️

@Matildahoney 😢 really sorry. Good luck to you too. I don’t think I can take another cycle

Matildahoney · 27/11/2022 10:01

@Ttc33 me too, good luck for the next cycle, I haven't tracked ovulation before so going to start doing that.

Emmamoo89 · 27/11/2022 09:55

So yesterday was 9dpo I had frequent urination every hour for like 4 hours and then it stopped and went back weeing like normal. I didn't drink much in those few hours. I'm confused lol why would it stop.

Ttc33 · 27/11/2022 07:21

That’s me out, AF has arrived. Hope everyone has better luck than me ❤️

Good luck for next cycle ❤

@Mammatoacutie ahh thank you! I had another 2 digi positives today but one was a complete left field negative 😅😣 my understanding is it was a faulty batch (clear blue 2 tests - one digi and one not) - the non digi didn’t have a control line or result and then the digi said negative 😩 could have done without that uncertainty today!

yes definitely had some weird symptoms pre test - a wetness down there (gross I know) so extra CM, sharp twinges on 8-10 dpo and a browny spotting at around 11 dpo. I was also negative right up until 13dpo but these were using the cheaply sticks!

@Ttc33 thank you 🥰 see above, few queries but still hopeful!!

honey818 · 26/11/2022 12:09

Had another negative early test this morning. Am now just going to wait for my period. We have only just started trying rig our second and it took over a year sign out first, I think I blocked out the memory of how stressful the two week wait is. Good luck everyone.

AF due tomorrow had a little spotting Thursday and yesterday. BFN today. The spitting was pink and then brown. So confused 🫤

@UserL95 I can see a very very faint line, I would wait a few days.. best of luck 💗

UserL95 · 26/11/2022 10:58

I’m 9DPO so obviously I tested again as a serious POAS-er. BFN at 7dpo. Bleeding/light spotting at 5 and 8dpo. AF due in 3 days.

Morning test frer - had to squint and all sorts. Probably just an indent so not getting excited but I feel like there is the worlds faaaaintest line. I put a filter on too. Still desperately hopeful this is our month… maybe that’s why I feel like there is something…
Attaching to help sooth my own disappointment lol
