Hi ladies, how is everyone? Hope the recent BFPs are all doing well!

Just wanted to let you know I had my first scan yesterday. I'm 12+3 which is a little ahead of where I thought and there's a lovely wriggly baby in there. They're a fidget, just like me and DH!

Ahhhhhhhhhh Sarah that pic 😍. Next stop a nice baby bump!!

LuciBee231015 · 13/10/2016 21:01

Why does the 2ww feel like the 10ww?! ...maybe because I spend the entire time symptom spotting and googling everything like a crazy woman! The latest is I had a backache for like 2 hours this afternoon 🙈 an af type backache... Gone now.

Looby, any update?

Are there any other 2ww'ers or am I all alone?

looby1304 · 13/10/2016 21:24

luci I thought af had arrived, a bit of spotting yesterday and then a bit heavier this morning, but since lunchtime it's been minimal. I'm just wanting to know one way or the other now, I'm fed up of getting my hopes up! I have got a frer to use in the morning, but as confused as I am I'm still not very hopeful.
2ww is the worst, and it definitely does feel like a 10ww! I'm a bit addicted to google as well, I say every month I won't do it but I always end up symptom spotting!

Purpleviola14 · 13/10/2016 22:02

Hi girls, I'm in the tww too. Been keeping up to date with you all and lurking.
Lol luci I've been symptom spotting too like a crazy person. I'm 9dpo, tested yesterday and bfn but today I'm getting shooting pains in uterus. This could be AF though. Think I'll wait until the weekend and test if AF doesn't arrive. Not holding out much hope though as I've been ill most of the month. Not sure if that affects ovulation or not.
Any symptoms for you? Anyone else in the tww?

LuciBee231015 · 13/10/2016 22:12

Fx crossed af doesn't show up looby and fx for 2 lines on that frer!!

Purple, I'm only 4 dpo and only thing that ive had that I didn't have last month was a bit of backache. But 4 dpo is too early for any kind of symptom really I think.

I just drive myself nuts even, constantly trying to tell myself to chill out... Doesn't work tho! Af is due on 22nd, so will try and hold out as long as poss before I test. It seems like aggggeeees away!! 😩

looby1304 · 14/10/2016 06:19

Bfn on a FRER this morning, now I'm really confused! Spotting Wednesday, light AF type bleed yesterday morning, but completely stopped by the evening. I've decided to go and enjoy my weekend away in the exact same way I would if I wasn't ttc or possibly pg. Then I'll test again if still no proper af next week. Although I just want to know one way or the other really!

LuciBee231015 · 14/10/2016 07:09

That is really confusing looby! Go and enjoy your weekend!

Piehunter · 14/10/2016 08:27

Argh looby it is so confusing! Hopefully you'll know more in a couple if days.

luci I'm 7dpo today and feel like I'm going crazy, on 5dpo and 6 I've had very very light spotting, only visible when wiping, and even then maybe twice/three a day both days, my boobs are incredibly sore, getting up off a chair is painful, they're normally bad but this feels worse... Yesterday I managed to convince myself the spotting was start of period, 5 days early, on cd22 due to holiday this month and flying and stuff but I never have 2 days spotting at start and I've gone insane Grin

BBS83 · 14/10/2016 09:22

Awww....Lobby, I know how you feel it's the just wanting to know part. I am on cd40 around 8 days late (although my cycles have been a bit wonky but average seems to be 32). Took a FRER this morning and a bfn.

But no signs of af, none of any of the normal pains. But did not track ovulation last month so....it is a guessing game....and Google is my best friend and worst enemy :p.

LuciBee231015 · 14/10/2016 10:38

Piehunter, implantation spotting maybe? Fx!

BBS, 8 days late! So you are in limbo too... Fx for you!

HighHopes16 · 14/10/2016 11:03

Aw lovely scan pic Sarah Smile
I have bit the bullet and booked a private scan this weekend as its been 15 weeks since my m/c with no proper period & I can't wait another 18 weeks for my nhs referral ! Hopefully it gives me some answers.
You ladies sound like you need a distraction else you are all going to drive yourselves crazy in the tww!!

LuciBee231015 · 14/10/2016 11:46

Good luck with the appointment highhopes. Let us know how it goes.

I'm out all weekend so hopefully will be distracted. I can't test until at least next Friday which will be 12dpo af due on the Saturday.

MoonlightMojitos · 14/10/2016 17:12

Glad you've got a scan booked highhopes and fx you get some answers (and the all clear to ttc). Hopefully your gp will hurry things along too either way as they can get your other tests booked if all clear or refer you urgently for further treatment if not (but fx). Thinking of you and keep us updated.

HighHopes16 · 14/10/2016 18:08

Thanks Luci & Moonlight Smile - it's on Sunday afternoon so I'll let you all know afterwards.

MouseLove · 14/10/2016 18:39

Awww good luck HighHopes for Sunday!!

Today is CD29 for me and I'm really uncomfortable with bloating. Sad

Kaisha02 · 14/10/2016 21:25

Good luck highhopes Flowers

HighHopes16 · 14/10/2016 22:19

Thanks ladies, you're all so lovely. Flowers Smile

oatybiscuits · 14/10/2016 23:51

Great you have a date to see what's happening high hopes. What a lot of waiters! Well I think I'm in my fw but since ds broke my thermometer and I've run out of opks who knows! Which just leads to me convincing myself that every twitch is implantation! Sergio

MishyBakes · 15/10/2016 12:05

Hi everyone, been having fun catching up with all the posts. Good luck with your scan highhopes, I hope you get the help you need. Sarah, that's a gorgeous scan 😊. Congrats to everyone with recent bfps, and fingers crossed for everyone in the tww

Husband and I have decided to stop actively trying for a while. Combination of horribly busy time at work for him, and me possibly moving jobs. It's a hard decision, but the right one. I'll still be popping back here to see how you all are getting on!

BoBo90 · 15/10/2016 17:26

Awww lovely scan pic Sarah!

I have a scan Monday morning now due to some pains so fx for a nice happy little bean! It will be good to finally have proof of how far along I am! Get's a bit annoying trying to convince every medical person that I'm only 7 weeks even though going by cd1 I would be 11 weeks Hmm Will hopefully have good news to report back to you all Smile

HighHopes I'm sooo happy you have a scan booked! Good luck for Sunday and I have everything crossed for good results for you x

MoonlightMojitos · 15/10/2016 20:18

Fx for you tomorrow highhopes hope it's good news. Will be thinking of you.

I've replied to you on the pg thread bobo hope you're OK and taking it easy tonight.

Take care mishy and keep popping in!

MoonlightMojitos · 15/10/2016 21:11

Ps where is johno? I hope she's ok and just having a relaxed cycle....

Johno85 · 16/10/2016 10:06

Hey moonlight. Thanks for asking after me. I'm ticking along on my ttc journey, just having a bit of time away from mumsnet. Do check in though to see how everyone is getting on Flowers

BBS83 · 16/10/2016 12:01

Fx highhopes. I am spring cleaning on winter in anow attempt to distract myself. 10 days late and tested every second day like a crazy person. Can go from having convinced myself my cycle is being a bitch to [email protected] I have ovulate later and it is too early to test. Think I am driving my dh up the wall.

What is everyone else up to today.
