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 😭

Thanks @Ttc33 and to you! Why isn’t there a way to find out sooner 🤣 it’s driving me insane!

Absolutely @Alysskea and you can’t really discuss it with anyone one which I find the worst!

@honey818 I have waves of nausea too- keep wondering though if I’m actually feeling it or making it up in my head!!

massive congratulations @Yolo23 💗 any other symptoms leading up to the bfp that were unusual ?

I go from feeling disappointed I haven’t had a bfn, to angry, to upset to hopeful in the space if 5 mins!

honey818 · 25/11/2022 18:13

Great news @Yolo23 congrats!

Yolo23 · 25/11/2022 17:25

@honey818 eeeek! That could be a strong sign. I felt really poorly in the lead up and had a negative at 10 dpo… positive digital test this morning at 13 dpo 🥰 wishing you the best of luck!! Xx

Hello I'm also going through two weeks wait. We are TTC our second. Period due in around 5 days tested earlier today (but not first thing in the AM) with one of those early tests and it was negative. I've felt sick all day though which is odd as I don't usually feel sick before a period.

Alysskea · 25/11/2022 15:39

fingers crossed for you all - it’s so emotionally draining.

@Mammatoacutie it’s still early. Sending you hugs. I had BFN this morning and started to spot again. Still have a bit of hope as AF hasn’t arrived yet but it’s only a few days away.

BFN for me today at 10DPO. 😭😭 I know there’s still a chance but I feel so disappointed

@UserL95 fingers crossed for you. I had some tiny spotting yesterday evening and a bit this morning. AF due on Sunday. It’s such a mind game isn’t it? Have you tested?

OP posts:
dearhummingbirds · 25/11/2022 10:46

@UserL95 If it’s not normal for you to have spotting, hopefully it’s possible that you are getting implantation bleeding. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you.

UserL95 · 25/11/2022 07:53

im 8dpo today, my bbt dipped below coverline and I had some spotting again with fmu.. so that’s spotting on 5DPO and 8dpo now when usually I have no spotting until AF arrives. It’s getting harder and harder to stay positive.

@Mammatoacutie less cramps today but I had really sharp pains in work earlier that lasted for a few seconds by my belly button. Bit of blood this evening but stopped now. Not unusual for my AF to do that. How are you doing?

OP posts:
UserL95 · 24/11/2022 20:31

@Mammatoacutie some mild cramping, tender breasts, very emotional! But nothing out of the ordinary for pms too. I’ve never had bleeding outside of period so I’m really hoping the blood at 5DPO is a positive sign 🤞 hoping praying wishing

i would say hold off testing but I know I’m terrible at waiting. Ideally they say to wait until at least 11dpo - I don’t have the willpower to wait that long

Mammatoacutie · 24/11/2022 20:29

@Ttc33 yes It’s so stressful isn’t it. I’m finding that it’s consuming me at the moment. have your cramps continued?

Mammatoacutie · 24/11/2022 20:27

@UserL95 yes 7dpo is still so early! I can’t recall seeing anyone with a bfp at 7dpo?? (But might be wrong) Hopefully was implantation bleeding If it was 5dpo 🤞🤞🤞 any other symptoms?

im 9dpo and think I might try testing tomorrow with an frer. I wasn’t going to but I can’t stop thinking about it and it’s draggggggging! Also feel like I’ve had cramps, nausea and tiredness- so if I’m not I’ll be even more disappointed as ive let myself think a positive is a possibility

UserL95 · 24/11/2022 09:30

i gave in at 7dpo which is probably very early after having some bleeding 5DPO (very unusual hopefully implantation bleeding?!). Of course I got a BFN today, LH strips still reading 0 on Premom but BBT is still higher than pre-ovulation. I’m not out yet. Going to try not to test until 9DPO now and AF due 13DPO.

@Mammatoacutie before my MMC I never used to get cramps but I’ve started having cramps about 4/5 days before my period and I’ve been getting period type cramps yesterday and today. Last month I was convinced I was pregnant because I kept getting stitch pains. Aww I really hope it happens for you. Who would think it could be so difficult and stressful 😫

OP posts:
Mammatoacutie · 23/11/2022 17:54

Keep positive!! Anything can happen. Very hard not to obsess over though I know. What happened last month to make you think it?

I don’t really know when my AF would be due. If I have a 21 day cycle then tomorrow but if I’m on a 24 day or 28 day then this Sunday or following Wed! The cramping and back ache has started, if I got this feeling usually I’d be checking that I had a tampon to hand but still keeping my fingers crossed that it’s implantation!! It’s funny think someone mentioned it further up the thread but I think you’re only in tune with twinges and cramps when you’re focussing so it’s hard to know what a normal feeling is!

@Mammatoacutie no not testing until AF is due (this Sunday) you?
I’m feeling so tearful today, bloody hormones. I know deep down looking at last month my period is going to make an appearance 😭

OP posts:
Mammatoacutie · 23/11/2022 16:05

Are you testing? @Ttc33 or waiting to see if AF arrives? I’m 8dpo and feeling a bit crampy and a little nauseous from time to time but don’t know if it’s in my head!! When would your AF usually be due?

Ttc33 · 22/11/2022 14:02

Lots of twinges today and feels like I’ve done sit ups, I’ve got a feeling my AF will arrive soon 😭

@BuzzyBusyBee aww I know how you feel. Have you been trying since your cycles returned to normal? I had a MMC end of July but had surgical management in August. This is my first proper cycle as September I was on my period for 2 weeks.

OP posts:
Alysskea · 22/11/2022 11:54

@dearhummingbirds this is also my first TWW. I took a trigger shot which means I can’t test early (have to wait for HCG to leave my system). Probably a good thing as I would probs already be testing otherwise 😂 I should wait the full 2 weeks really just in case I get a false positive.

BuzzyBusyBee · 22/11/2022 11:40

2dpo and TTC since a MMC in Jan. Trying hard not to get my hopes up but also trying to be optimistic otherwise it all becomes too depressing! Keep trying to convince myself I am always less than 4 weeks away from possibly being pregnant again

Kittenmum89 · 22/11/2022 11:30

7 DPO for me, not feeling a thing. Over the weekend i had some shooting pains and cramps but since Monday nothing... nada. I have a feeling that this isn't our month. Not sure i will test this month and just wait for AF to arrive.

dearhummingbirds · 22/11/2022 11:28

@Alysskea 3DPO for me today, too. I’ve been spending way too much time looking at peoples squinters the past couple of days 😂
When are you going to do your first test, do you think? I want to try and hold out until next Tuesday, but the weekend is going to test me.

This is my first TWW and I already missed my Friday night glass of wine 🥲
