Anyone just started their dreaded 2WW ? 👀👋🏼

@positivethoughts1I can see that and I’m useless at line spotting! Are you planning on testing again tomorrow?

9DPO PM test…. Am I imagining it?????

Hunting for squinters gets so old but it’s so hard to wait isn’t it. I think I implant later going by my positive cycles now I’m older though.

@WF1990glad I’m not the only one! I’m getting emotional watching the Kardashians so if I’m not pregnant AF must be on the way 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Hi @MegLSwelcome, hoping you get a BFP! When are you planning on testing? Fair play keeping it chill, in case it isn’t obvious I’m struggling 🤣

Hi! Hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m currently 6dpo on our second cycle TTC. I was awful for symptom spotting last month so am trying to be a bit more chill! Obviously still very early but so far no real symptoms. I was away for work in the lead up to ovulation this month so not sure we’ve got much of a chance anyway, but keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi @DaisyKGgood luck for cycle 1! Always happy to provide support when you don’t know if you’re spotting actual symptoms or going mad. The TWW sends me delulu 😅 I have a very rare evening in the house on my own tonight so I’ve ordered dominos and going to sit on the sofa all night because that’s what I would do if I was pregnant. I’m only 8dpo and have no idea if I actually am 🤣

@WF1990I’m not sure if I can see something on there but I’m not the best. Good news about the spotting stopping even more of a positive sign! You should have your answer very soon.

@EmPeEfI tested this morning at 8dpo in the hope there would be a squinter but nothing 😅

Can’t be totally certain on that yet but there’s still time 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I don’t know how people get all these super early 8dpo positives 😄

Sending some solidarity to you. I’m autistic as well and I can come across so bad online sometimes 😅 ❤️

Hello all! Hope you don’t mind me jumping onto this thread - currently in the TWW (3DPO) for baby #1. This is our first month of TTC so completely new to this - have just relied on my app for the first month. I have been off birth control for 5 years now and know my cycle pretty well.

Reading all your posts keeps me sane - still have a while until I plan on testing (hoping to test on 31st)🫶🏻✨

Sorry reading it back it did sound a bit harsh. Apologies @Seasaltandgrass i didn’t mean it to sound that way! I’m autistic and sometimes things come out wrong!

If you’re only 10dpo now then what were the symptoms you mentioned feeling hopeful, curious and wanting confirmation about on 10th/11th/12th etc? Ovulation? With the spotting as well around that time what do you think that was if it was making you hopeful?
Pregnancy symptoms can’t start until after an embryo has implanted. An embryo isn’t ready to start implanting until 5dpo earliest. Then it can take a week or more extra to actually implant. Then your HCG needs to rise enough to cause the symptoms.
You mention lots of symptoms that you say aren’t usual for you. But if you’ve been on the pill you won’t really know what’s usual as your hormones will be different now. Symptoms of rising progesterone after ovulation causes all sorts of symptoms that are very similar to pregnancy. Every month my boobs get heavy and sore the day after ovulation. The pain gets worse (can hardly touch them at times) until I get my period and then it stops pretty much instantly.
Obviously you could well be pregnant. But I think it would be helpful to be a bit more patient and relaxed in the coming months if you’re not.

Thanks! I unfortunately caved at work, only managed an hour hold after having a coffee so of course bfn, why I did it who knows haha!
Swear I think I see a shadow but my line eyes are not to be trusted at all!
Due tomorrow or Saturday at latest. Might try when I get home, an hour an a half hold is possibly the most I can do as I'm SO thirsty!

Hi everyone. I’ve also tested again this morning at 10dpo, definitely negative still. I guess there’s still time. I’ve actually come to terms with the fact it might not be this cycle which is helping me feel less crazy.
Fair play to you @Kayleaaa for not testing yet! There’s no way I’d be able to wait. Hope you get your BFP!

@WF1990thats even more promising! You’re very laidback about it all fair play to you. My cramps are still there although milder, I took an ibuprofen earlier for something unrelated so they might be having an affect. If it AF I need her to hurry up so I can stop eating for two 🤦🏼‍♀️

@WF1990that’s definitely a positive then if spitting is unusual for you, keeping everything crossed!

Welcome @KayleaaaI too commend you holding out on testing I will probably be POAS every 5 mins by the time I get to 13dpo 😂 I understand the reasoning though, there’s still hope! Sorry about your chemical the TWW is hard enough without having that extra fear unlocked

I’m bloody starving even after eating a big breakfast. I’m telling myself I’m not pregnant I’m just a fat b*h but my brain is still like ‘maybe it’s a baby?’ 🤣
