Page 13 | Two week wait anyone?

Optimistic66 · 14/04/2024 14:12

@Aisling1010 so hard waiting out to test but honestly i get in such a mood that time between a negative and my period that im not sure it's worth it.

Having cramping and constipation today. Genuinely wondering if im imagining symptoms.

How are your symptoms?

MaybeBaby2024 · 14/04/2024 12:49

@2BabyOrNot2Baby Well for example, back in September I had maybe 3 weeks between periods.
My most recent period was 3 weeks ago, and prior to that my last period was before Christmas! There’s no pattern to it at all which is frustrating.

@Aisling1010 first cycle trying properly in a while. We did try back in December but it didn’t work. And then didn’t get my next period for over 3 months 🫤 so just had to wait it out until next cycle began which is this one.

I always assumed I had something like PCOS but have been seen by Gynae and they say I don’t have that 🤷🏽‍♀️

I do already have one DC so should count myself lucky I’ve been able to conceive at all. But just see that age gap getting wider and wider, plus we are getting married next year so don’t want a pregnancy/ newborn too close to that.

Anyone else currently in TWW? I’m 4dpo and anxiously waiting until I can test.

I am currently trying to conceive my 3rd baby. I have 2 girls who are 6 and 8. And I’m desperately hoping they to see a positive test
My periods have been very irregular for the past year or so. But got a positive ovulation test on Sunday morning and have done BD with hubby last Wed, Saturday night and Monday night.
🤞🤞

Im also anxious because as ridiculous as it sounds I’ve had 2 online readings from 2 different psychics last month, one said I would conceive in November and give birth in August and one said September and December would be important months. Now I can’t get it out of my head that I won’t convince until the end of the year (if that even happens) 🙈🙈

I had no problems conceiving my first two girls 6 and 8 years ago, happen on first try both times so I am desperately hoping it will be the same this time. I am 30 now so still young.

sorry for the long read! X

I'm 4dpo today so a bit behind! I think anyway, CBAD showed my peak on CD16 and easy@home CD20 (now CD25).

I was out yesterday for some drinks so hoping that doesn't have an affect on anything 🤞

Plan to test on Friday with a FRER! But probably do cheap ones in between to get it out of my system haha

@Aisling1010 I use a bbt thermometer, just got off Amazon! I didn't temp either but went for acupuncture and the therapist wanted to see temps so have done the last 2 cycles, it's really interesting actually!

Tomorrow is second app, had initial consultation so tomorrow is scan, bloods etc. feel a bit unsure about IUI, hoping to feel more in the know about it tomorrow!

I think you're right I could do an early test tomorrow morning to be sure before I go to app, I'm sure seeing a bfn before a fertility app might be easier 😂

Hi! 1 or 2 DPO today, TTC baby no2.
I have long, irregular cycles so OPKs are a must for me otherwise would likely miss the window.
Peak was on Thursday, DTD Thurs & Fri so hope that was enough!
Good luck everyone.

Hi!

I have very long irregular cycles too. Never have any idea when I ovulate or when period is arriving so I couldn’t do it with it the OPKs either. Is this your first cycle trying or have you been trying for a while?

Thanks @JumpinJellyfish ❤️
I am feeling a bit out this morning had a temp dip, I'm 10dpo.
I have fertility clinic appointment tomorrow to look at IUI, so that softens the blow of feeling out for this cycle. Wondering if I should test tomorrow before I go just so I know what's what but I am thinking it's a bfn and hate seeing those 😂

What are you using to check temp? I’ve never done the temp checking thing

that’s reassuring you have your fertility appointment tomorrow🙂 will this be your first one? It’s worth taking an early detection test tomorrow if you’ll be 11dpo 🙂

Morning all, absolutely bugger all going on with me. No signs of implantation to speak of whatsoever, which isn’t filling me with hope. I’m 5/6 dpo too @Aisling1010! Going to try and hold off testing until Thursday am when I’ll be 10 dpo but I’ll probably fail. I got a clear positive with my DD by that stage so it’s my benchmark for good or bad news!

Don’t worry symptoms at this stage really are just guessing for fun and don’t really mean anything.
I’m trying thinking of my last 2 pregnancies what they were like on the 2 week wait. I think remember with my first I didn’t have sore boobs during the 2 tww and I normally did during that time before AF, so I remember thinking that was different. And with my last one I did get sore boobs and typical AF cramping feeling so I was very surprised to see bfp that time. I think I took a test with 10dpo with her it was negative and then faint positive 2 days later.

I will be 10dpo on Thursday too and I originally planned to test Thursday morning but I will be so upset at work and won’t be able to focus properly so I don’t know if I should wait to Friday when I finish work.

Morning all! I hope everyone is feeling ok this morning ❤️💙💗

any new symptoms for anyone?

I had another crazy vivid dream last night. Woke up this morning with sore boobs. Had a good bit of cramping last night. I would say going to the bathroom more frequently.

I was stupidly going to test this morning (at 6dpo) thankfully talked myself out of it 🤣

so my periods have been extremely irregular for the past year or more. My periods had only been coming every 2-3 months so I don’t think I was ovulating much. I hadn’t been tracking or anything because I wasn’t trying for baby then. I did finally go to my Dr 8 weeks ago and get full hormonal blood work done and turns out I have under active thyroid. So I assume that’s what was causing my extreme irregular cycles. As everything else came back normal such as progesterone etc

My last period was 22nd February and when that ended I used ovulation tests every single day and finally got positive on Sunday 7th April. And we DTD on Wed 3rd , Sat 6th and Mon 8th. So I’m hoping that was enough. I wish I got a chance to do it on the Sunday night but we never did!

JumpinJellyfish · 14/04/2024 08:41

Hi @hopeful117 I had 3mcs before dc1 and tests showed I had an overactive immune system that was attacking the embryos, so now I take steroids and progesterone from ovulation when ttc - worked perfectly to give me dc1 and 2 who were conceived easily.

I think the progesterone is just part of my clinic’s standard protocol - I’ve never had my levels tested specifically - but happy to take anything that might help! I also take low dose (75mg) aspirin and COQ10.

hopeful117 · 14/04/2024 08:33

Hi @JumpinJellyfish ❤️
Can I ask why you take progesterone? I've thought for a while mine may be low although blood tests have shown it isn't - I've had 2 miscarriages in the last 2 years and can almost feel the progesterone drop before the loss (with my mood/the way I feel)

JumpinJellyfish · 14/04/2024 07:02

Wow so many people at exactly same stage as me - 4dpo today?

I’ve had some cramps overnight though I put that down to the progesterone I started taking yesterday as I think it’s too early for any implantation.

DH is away with work for 2 weeks now so I’ve got the kids by myself which I hope will make the tww go faster! Also means I’ll be testing on my own.

Sorry if it's really nosey of me to ask, but what are your cycles like? I was just about getting into a normal routine with mine after coming off birth control last year and then had a 37 day cycle for march 🫠 and only just ovulated on day 26 this time round. Feel like everybody else has some kind of normal routine and mine is just whenever it feels like 😩

Thank you. I’m 3dpo today, started to get sore boobs other than that not much. I’m only a bit upset cos I found out today I need antibiotics for something, and I’m worried taking them will somehow affect implantation? :((

Definitely speak to your GP if you're worried. They may be able to change your medication if needed to something safer!

@2BabyOrNot2Baby don’t stress it wasn’t enough!! We only BD every other day because otherwise it become a chore for me, every other time we’ve been trying that’s worked! Don’t stress you never know!!
I’m also 3DPO 😆

I keep trying to tell myself it only takes 1 🤣 completely get that it starts to feel like a chore, I'm going to sleep like a baby this weekend now the tww is here haha

Aisling1010 · 13/04/2024 22:50

I’m kind of relieved to hear that 😅 the things we do! What was the name of the ones you used? I used Psychic readings by Nic and Gemma Martin
oh and I forgot I did ones from Etsy at one point too🤦‍♀️🙈🤣given all different dates/numbers etc
they all said the gender will be girl though 🙈

that sounds like plenty of bd! 🤞🤞 for you! Will this be your first?

Show quote history

One of them was Tas Tarot and the other a 'tiktok psychic', was definitely my moment of weakness at 2am 🤣 I've been told a boy and a girl though! I didn't get any similarities between my two readings so I decided best not to go for a third 🤣

Honestly it's the best attempt we've had for this TTC journey 😅 currently on our 5th month but got the most irregular cycle ever so I'll probably still be waiting for AF by the time it's BD time for everyone else again (hopefully not!)
Not my first baby, I've got a little 18 month old boy, tried for 11 months with him, told my husband I need a break for a month or so as it's becoming so emotionally draining and found out a week later I was expecting! So I think I've fallen into a habit of 'expect the worst and you can't be disappointed' 🙈 ahh possibly 3 girls for you!! You'll have your hands full 🤣

Im 5/6 dpo today! Had some pink spotting today on a wipe! Not quite sure what is up!

Trying to hold out until 14dpo to test!

I’m about the same 5/6dpo. First positive ovulation test Sunday, still positive Monday. So it’s hard to when exactly lol I’m going by Monday so 5dpo

that sounds kind of promising for possible implantation? Because it would be too early for AF bleeding.. 🤞
good idea! I’m thinking of waiting to about 12dpo

Hi! I had 2 online readings too 🙈 one mentioned 21st Jan being a significant date (nothing happened other than a relatives birthday) and the other said March would be a significant month and here we are in April 🥴

3dpo for me, ovulated wednesday & only managed to BD Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday but really anxious it wasn't enough! Pretty sure this is my first ever cycle I've experienced ovulation symptoms though so that was new lol
