Anyone else starting their 2ww?

[shopaholic85]

Hi all

I think I am 2dpo and think AF is due 4th Feb so 13 days until I will be testing, if AF doesn't arrive.

I know it's not really possible to have symptoms this early but I have had frequent urination, excessive saliva and a slight metallic taste in my mouth today. I think it must be all in my head, because I don't remember having these symptoms the last time I had a BFP (which ended in an early m/c).

Is anyone else just starting a 2ww?

Oh my god that does sound manic! Bless you. When is the wedding?? Do you think you have ovulated yet?

I'm feeling ok, v tired, cos my back is hurting again so it keeps me awake at night...not going to do any symptom spotting this month. What will be, will be, to use a cliche...

Wedding is in a few short weeks!

Af is due in a week and I couldn't be feeling more hormonal. Don't want to get my hopes up as I had these same symptoms two months ago and came on in spectacular fashion!

Massive sore boobs, really weepy, tired, bloated. Feels too early to be premenstrual but who can say! Also not 100% sure on this cycle as my last one was so short that Ovia has predicted this one will be 23 days. Hoping AF isn't here earlier than a week if it does come.

How's everyone? Any more BFPs?

Oh wow how exciting!!

On both fronts!

When can you test? Or when will you test?

I think everyone might have left this thread Anne! I am on another thread and the women are lovely. It is about people who are TTC after miscarriage but I am sure they wouldn't mind you joining?

Hi Anne

Are you still here? Shopaholic?

I just wanted to let you know that I got my BFP last week!! Still v early days and v scared it's going to happen again but trying to stay calm.

How was the wedding Anne?! I presume it's happened by now? Hope it was magical xx

Hi kate was just scrolling through my old chats and I noticed your news. Congratulations!!! It is a very worrying time, I was the same- still am! Try to stay positive and enjoy it! shopaholic is over in the same December babies chat as me.
Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Thanks so much theaks. How are you? I am having a tough time with a suspected ectopic but I won't know anything for sure for a few days. Slow rising HCG. I am praying for a bloody miracle as I am not sure I can take the heartbreak again. xxx

Kate, just popped back to say congratulations and sorry that you are having a difficult time . I'm no expect, but should think that the rising HCG is a good sign! I will be thinking of you and hoping and praying for the best xx

Thanks for popping by shopaholic!! So lovely to hear from you and thanks for your kind words. It is all quite frightening really but trying to get the little beams of hope where I can and hold onto them. Tonight I am very bloated tired and thirsty which are good signs I hope and they are keeping me from spiralling into panic! Hope you are healthy and happy?? xxxx

Tiredness and bloating were the only symptoms I had in the early stages, if that helps? And no bleeding is definitely a good sign. Do you have an early scan or more blood tests this week to check what's going on? If you're in London, you can self refer to St Thomas'.

I'm happy thank you (aside from the awful sickness), but preparing myself for whatever the 12wk scan will show next week xx

Gosh how exciting! Best of luck. Will you come back and tell me how you get on?

I have a scan on Tuesday - I'll be 5+2 and so they may not be able to see anything. My HCG today had jumped massively so hoping that I just had slow rising HCG for the first week and now it will catch up. This obviously may be wishful thinking and it's been slow to rise because there is a problem but I am praying for a miracle.

Thank you and of course!

Good luck for Tuesday. Make you have something to distract yourself tomorrow evening, so you don't spend all night worrying. I'll be thinking of you xx

Thanks so much shopaholic. I will try my best! xx

Hi Kate. Hope the scan gave you the reassurance you needed today xx

Hi shopaholic. Not really! It was all very inconclusive and confusing. They couldn't see anything in my tubes which is a good sign but then the consultant said they wouldn't see anything anyway as it is too early.

They could see a few black blobs in my uterus and one of them had lining around it which suggests maybe an early pregnancy. But my HCG levels are still too low and not climbing like they should, so even if it isn't an ectopic, it doesn't look too hopeful. I am trying to cling to every hope I have but I am finding it hard tbh. Hope you are OK?? xx

Oh, I'm sorry Kate Life can be so rubbish sometimes.

Blobs are a good sign. And I'm no expert but, if something was wrong, wouldn't HCG be falling instead of climbing? You're right, it's so confusing.

Do you have a follow-up scan next week? It's still early days and most clinics don't even scan until 6 weeks at the earliest.

Thanks shopaholic.

Yeah, if a MC was imminent they would start dropping but what I am petrified about is that they signal a poorly developing embryo / foetus which may MC further down the line. It would be so cruel if this just delays the inevitable.

I've got a scan on the 3rd (week on Friday) where they hope to see something or at least diagnose where it is.

I just wish this was a normal pregnancy. It would be worrying enough without all of this to contend with.
