2 week wait - again!

It's that time of the month again. The dreaded two week wait. 3rd month of trying and 1st month using ovulation kits.

Last month I convinced myself I was pregnant and obviously wasn't so trying not to do that this month.

Finding the whole process very draining to be honest. DH and I don't have very high sex drives. We're normally once a week people and are both fine with that. So having to do the deed when neither of us really want to is not as fun as I'd hoped! But we managed 3 times in ovulation week this month so fingers crossed.

Anyone else want a 2ww buddy? Smile

Morning ladies! Well I've woke up this morning and am feeling great, no more sore boobs and no more feeling of nausea so definitely hormone/time of the month related.

Anyone else starting to struggle with the wait? AF is due anytime between Thursday and Tuesday (very messed up cycles the last few months) and the days feel like they are dragging. I'm determined to last until the weekend before testing and to make sure I don't do it before have not even bought a test yet. Still doesn't make it any easier to wait.

Stuckinny, I'm feeling the same. AF due on sat for me and I know I'll want to test before then. I've been less obsessed by it this month but I think that's because I've not really had any symptoms so far. I feel your pain!

I've had no symptoms either. But then I didn't have any when I was pregnant with DS either (other than getting bigger it was the most uneventful pregnancy ever).
To be honest I just want to know either way so I can move forward.
What doesn't help is DP's brother's wife is pregnant (told the family as soon as they found out, already feels like the longest pregnancy in history) so all I hear when I'm with his family is about the baby. I'll be with them most of the weekend (thanksgiving here on Thursday) and am already dreading it.

Ladies I am going a bit mad here... now on cycle day 32 and no sign of AF but so far 3 BFNs (2 yesterday, 1 today). AF usually turns up by day 30 latest (day 29 more usual). What's going on?! I am worried that I just want to be pregnant so much that I have tricked myself into thinking I am...

I can sympathise reluctant.
I am CD34 and got a BFN today with a clear blue digital.
My cycles range between 28 and 37 days but average is around 32/3.
I have had symptoms that could be PMS or early pregnancy but now thinking it's just a messed up cycle for me. In limbo for now though...

MrsG I'm like 1 day behind you now lol. I'm having belly ache today so I think I'm coming down with something. My lips tasted of blood before. WEIRD!!

I think I'll wait for AF before even thinking about testing. I'm being realistic. Hmm

I think I'm out Sad some pale pink blood on wiping this evening so think it's been a shorter cycle than recent months as on CD27 (can be up to 35 days). Will know by morning if it is AF.

Thanks sarah and here's hoping your stomach pains are actually implantation and not the witch!
Going to be a long nightshift with many bathroom breaks to see if it is indeed AF Hmm

Nothing to report here other than feeling queasy. A little cramping too but that could be AF.
If nothing by tomorrow night I'm going to pick up a test on my way home from DP's parents then test Friday morning before I hit the stores at some ungodly hour.

CD 23 and think AF is on its way. Cramps, sore back and when I wipe a tiny bit of blood - if I squint Hmm
AF is not due till around Sunday/Monday.

Fingers crossed for you ladies. No AF is good news! Although I am sure if I was pregnant I would have a BFP by now as am 4 days late... (unhelpfully the doctors also confirmed this).

Stuckinny I just read your older post... good luck for Thanksgiving weekend. Try to get away and make some time for yourself - it will be hard listening to endless baby chat at the moment.

Reluctant are you soon off BC? Cycles can take a little to settle down if you are. X

(My last was 50 days. Hmm)

JB1983 · 23/11/2016 17:46

reluctant how frustrating being in limbo! Hopefully you get an answer either way soon.
AF is taunting me this month, pink spotting only last night and this morning. Nothing at the moment so not sure if it's just taking its time appearing or if I dare hope its implantation bleed. I don't normally get pale pink spotting but could just be my body throwing another TTC curve ball!

MissMagpie · 23/11/2016 17:50

Nothing to report from me reluctant.
Had proper AF style cramping last night and expected to wake up to her but nothing. Been absolutely normal all day so not sure what's going on.
I am CD36 today. Not the longest cycle I have ever had but longer than usual recently.

Hope you find out either way what's going on soon reluctant. If I'm not pregnant I just want AF to come now so I can start again!
FX for everyone that you get your BFPs soon.
