My first ever two week wait! Day one post ovulation, if I’ve done the maths correctly! Anyone else?

ThatSnugSwan · 16/10/2024 23:09

@Anon2822 8dpo is early for testing but I get the need for testing, I couldn't help myself test early too. Fingers crossed for everyone testing tomorrow 🤞

I didnt test today by some miracle I found the willpower not to. Getting a negative yesterday at 10dpo really put me in a low mood. Still getting the odd pain/twinge but it could be AF for all I know getting ready. Time will tell. @Clara202 Sorry about AF arriving for you, fingers crossed for next month.
@Anon2822 How many dpo are you?

I’m 8dpo so still early, praying tomorrow will have a shadow of a line 🤞🏼

@Anon2822 hopefully you will see something tomorrow 🤞🏻

LS888 · 16/10/2024 10:30

@Clara202 so sorry about AF. Start peeing on sticks earlier next month to get your fix! Or ovulation sticks. Look after yourself.

Anon2822 · 16/10/2024 09:52

I’ve tested this morning and negative, keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow

I woke up today and there was no blood at all, got a little bit excited but now there’s a proper flow so I think it’s undoubtedly AF. I was due on Saturday according to my app but I was always a bit irregular and I’m only off the pill so things may be a bit unpredictable for a while. I must admit I do feel a little hard done by that I didn’t even get to pee on a stick!

Is anyone testing today? I’m still going to hold out until tomorrow with fmu but hubby wants to do it together and he leaves for work at 5.30am so just told him to wake me up! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I won’t read too much into it! Mine is definitely heavier and is staining, could well be a period but the cramps feel different. Who knows at this stage! I’m ok thanks @ThatSnugSwan , I’ll test on Thursday or Friday anyway as planned 🙂

@Clara202 Ive read so many threads on mumsnet where some women bleed in the first few weeks of pregnancy and orhers who have heavy implantation bleeds. Every woman is different. I hope your doing ok

ThatSnugSwan · 15/10/2024 18:15

@Clara202 for me it was light pink and brown and only when I wiped, nothing on a pad and lasted 1 day

LS888 · 15/10/2024 18:04

@Clara202 for me implantation have been darker/browner in colour and only lasted about 3/4 days. But I read things saying that light spotting is normal too and short lived. I think it just depends on the person.

I was about to say I feel nothing at all and that I’ve already ruled myself out, but I just went to the loo there and I’m bleeding. Very likely AF as I’ve always been irregular. If it was actually was implantation, what would it look like and how long would it last?

LS888 · 15/10/2024 15:39

@Clara202 I think it depends on the person and timing of the test. I felt sick with my last pregnancy on the Friday and I hadn’t taken a test and I just knew id felt like this before so assumed I was pregnant. Took the test later that day and it was positive. I think I was 11dpo. That one ended as a mmc though.

For my first mmc and my daughter I felt sick a few days after I had the positive. But I tend to feel nauseous for most of the first 12 weeks (and beyond when I went on to have my daughter).

For me today, think I’m overthinking the sickness feeling which I’m currently feeling as I have a cold and my husband is poorly and my daughter has hand foot and mouth. So think I feel poorly because of that, I don’t want to overthink it in case it isn’t due to a pregnancy. I think for lots of people it’s symptom spotting and anxiety which starts the nausea!

ThatSnugSwan · 15/10/2024 15:17

Never had nausea or any symptoms till 6 or 7 weeks before. 6/7 weeks I got headaches and sore boobs

Pennyroses · 15/10/2024 15:09

@Clara202 no I've never been nauseous before a positive pregnancy test, it always kicks in at around 6 weeks for me. And I get horrendous nauseous in pregnancy. Apparently it can be a normal AF symptom too so I wouldn't read into that as a symptom

For those of you that were pregnant before, were you nauseous during your two week wait? I’m seeing people say the felt sick before doing the test, wondering how common that is. I feel the same as I ever do!

ThatSnugSwan · 15/10/2024 14:21

Thank you @Clara202 for that. I will Im gona ban myself from testing now till 12dpo and time will tell I suppose

Pennyroses · 15/10/2024 13:20

@Clara202 I'm 38 too. We've technically been trying since January 2023,i got pregnant last August but unfortunately lost that baby at 19 weeks 🙁 so it took us 7 months that time and we started trying again January this year and I did get pregnant again last month but that was a chemical. So it took under a year both times which isn't bad considering my age and my partner also has a low sperm count! Hoping it's 3rd time lucky for us soon!! 🙏 I'm sure if all is well on both your sides it should be quicker for you 🤞x

@ThatSnugSwan
https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=11
I came across this, you’re 66% likely to get a positive if you’re pregnant on day 10, 79% on day 11 and it goes up and up. Just keep that in mind. If I were you I’d just text again on day 12 if AF doesn’t come in the meantime.
@Pennyroses I feel very unlikely as well, I have no symptoms at all but also it’s my first time ttc and I’m 38, so I’ve already prepared myself for the long haul. Right now I’m feeling mentally positive but if I have no bfp after a few months I’ll very likely be down in the dumps as well.

@LS888 thankyou, yes I agree it does really help to relax you in the tww. I'm definitely going to start it up again if I'm not pregnant this cycle. Saying that it's supposed to be benifitial during pregnancy too.
This tww is driving me insane!! I woke up sure Im just premenstrual as have a few symptoms but now my boobs don't feel like they usually do, I keep checking to see if the pain is there 😂 but it's much less than it usually is which is odd as I always have really painful boobs the week before my period 🤔 x

ThatSnugSwan · 15/10/2024 10:04

@LS888 Period is due Saturday. I know I tested early so I still have time but oh my god it really drives ya crazy this tww. In my head now I'm out but I know id be telling someone else there's still plenty of time

LS888 · 15/10/2024 09:45

@ThatSnugSwan when is your period due? There is still time. Don’t think I’ve had a positive at 10dpo.

These last few days are always the hardest. I’m 9dpo. Think we got a positive at 11dpo with my daughter. Period is due Wed/Thursday anyway. Thursday will be 11dpo. I’m also starting to feel a bit sick but don’t know if it’s in my head or because my husband and toddler are poorly at the moment.

ThatSnugSwan · 15/10/2024 09:25

I caved this morning at 10dpo on a boots cheap strip test and boots early test and Bfn, feeling crap and I know im not out till Af shows but really thought the early test might show something if I am
