This 2ww is dragging even more than usual, I'm only on cd18 of a 33day cycle Sad

Anyone else in the 2ww needing some support?

Hi ladies,

I will join in but I'm only on 4DPO so have lots longer to wait than you guys.

I was pregnant before but mc and got a really strong positive test on 11DPO so now feel like every month if I haven't got a positive by then I'm out but I realistically know most people don't get a positive until after that an even that's normally faint!

Wish your body did the same each time! No symptoms yet though but just feel like it may be our month?!

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 06/01/2017 21:44

Hi Anna, I think you're probably going to be testing around the same time as me so I'll keep you company while you wait!
I'm in a bit of a grump as DH is eating up the lovely mould ripened and blue cheeses we have from Christmas and I'm being cautiously optimistic and sitting with a mug of ginger tea instead of indulging.

SophieGiroux · 06/01/2017 22:42

I feel like I keep missing out on alcohol and nice cheese and will probably be all for nothing! NYE was hard trying to get out of having sambuca shots being offered!

Starting to get sore boobs now, will be 11dpo on Sunday so might try testing then.

Bubblegum89 · 06/01/2017 22:42

I'm 11dpo on Sunday as well Sophie and I think I'll be testing then too. Good luck!!

Jetpack86 · 06/01/2017 22:52

Hi Anna and NiceCuppa I'm around 4dpo too and might test next Friday. I have a weird mild cramping sensation that I've never had po before Confused anyone get that?

Good luck for Sunday Sophie and Bubblegum! Fx Grin

Mrsbluebell17 · 06/01/2017 22:58

Hi Anna, jetpack and cuppa ....
Im about 3/4 dpo too I think (but don't know as I don't temp). So I'll be testing around the time with you too.
Fingers crossed for us all.

Good luck to those testing this weekend. Smile

SophieGiroux · 06/01/2017 23:41

Thanks Jetpack, and good luck to you too Bubblegum! 🍀

Bubblegum89 · 07/01/2017 00:01

Thank you jetpack :)

Anna2006 · 07/01/2017 07:20

Stupid 2ww is bloody annoying. Just be pregnant already!! lol

GL girlies testing at the weekend!!

Oh good I'm glad I'm not the only one with well over a week to go.
AF due Sunday 15th so I'm desperately gong to try hold out until then. I don't really want to test until my period is missed as it will just be disappointment if it's negative but will see if I can hold out girls haha x

HighlandMcChancer · 07/01/2017 09:01

Argh Sunday can't come quick enough! 5 days til AF due but waiting til 11DPO on Sunday to test! GL to ladies testing today! Hoping for lots of Baby Dust & BFPs!!

Babycarmen · 07/01/2017 11:25

I'm officially out :( AF arrived today. At least I have some normality back in my cycle but a bit gutted. Good luck ladies hope to see loads of BFPs x

SophieGiroux · 07/01/2017 13:59

Sorry to hear that babycarmen. Good luck for next month!

user1471495191 · 07/01/2017 14:57

Anna2006 · 07/01/2017 17:43

Eugh sorry about that Carmen. Baby dust to you for next month xx

ChunkyButFunky · 07/01/2017 19:33

Hello

Sorry I'm new to all this and not actively ttc at the moment but had a conversation with DP about starting a family...

However I am 6DPO ( I think! First time I've calculated O) and I've been having a few symptoms. Since I'm new to this I just thought I would post to see what some thought ...

2DPO: I had really bad wind... like a man. It's totally embarrassing I have to say but in bed my OH had to open the window... I put it down to all the food I had over xmas
3DPO: still really bad wind. All the time. And I just can't hold it in. I felt a bit nauseous on and off and had a bit of a funny tummy. Slight cramps
4DPO: wind still there despite watching food intake. First day back at work after new year and still funny tummy. Was in a big conference all day and all of a sudden felt really really sick and starving. Had lunch and instantly went away. We DTD tonight and I was extra erm turned on! Sorry tmi but it seems extra wet down there, even OH commented on it. Back ache slightly to the right
5DPO: still got slight wind but less. Very acidy and burpy today. Lots of gurgling in tummy and a little bit crampy. Sore nips and boobs feel quite heavy. Feel nauseous but really hungry. Was really tired so fell asleep at about 6pm and woke at 9:30pm. Still tired back hurt
6DPO: woke up this morning and my nipples were really really sore. Something I've never really experienced. The main thing that's prompted me to post is tonight I've been experiencing some twinges in my lower abdomen, just above my pelvic bone and it's something I've never felt and don't know how best to describe it. So it's not cramping like when AF is coming and it's not really painful. It like a full feeling but with pressure like a pulling. You know when you need a wee and you've held it a bit too long and you sort of get that feeling in your bladder? It's like that. But I don't feel like I need a wee.

I'm trying not to think anything of it as I don't want to get my hopes up but just wondeeee what other people thought. It's the first time I've noticed these symptoms, I won't say it's the first time I've had them because maybe I've just not noticed? But some are definitely new to me and first time I've thought about writing details on a forum x

BlueSkies87 · 07/01/2017 20:26

Hey everyone. First time I have posted on here but have found reading these boards so helpful over the past few months. Had implant removed in Sep after 9 years, but had a really bad reaction afterwards and showed lots of pregnancy symptoms that first month: headaches, pains, nausea to name a few. So was convinced I was pregnant but was not the case. Think it was just hormones all over the place after 9 years. Felt so naive and a rough start to TTC! Anyway, bit more positive this month. 10 DPO and already a little impatient. Have felt v strange over the past few days: crazy bloating, emotional (have cried a lot!), pelvic twinges, sore boobs and very achey hips and back. Seems silly to hope we could get a BFP but still crossing my fingers. AF is due 10th/11th. Pleased to be joining you on your 2ww. No one knows we are trying and its been a bit lonely.

Anna2006 · 07/01/2017 22:00

Hi Blueskies and chunky welcome.

Good luck with your BFP! I think tbh 6dpo is quite early for symptoms. I know some women say they know an feel stuff but in reality think sometimes when your looking out for it you notice things more. I'm 5DPO today an could swear I've been having sharp twinges in uterus area. But other months I have thought similar nearer to AF an it's ended in BFN. So think anything goes really and who knows. It's anyone's guess!

Looking forward to hearing from you girlies on the thread that are testing tomorrow?! Highland & Bubblegum

stepmum88 · 07/01/2017 22:24

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining in..... am on C1, due AF on the 18th (according to Ovia), and a mid 2ww.....8 days to go...😣 finding it a nightmare. Very anxious and wary of everything! Any hints??@

BonsGirl · 07/01/2017 22:27

AF was due 21/12/16... I'm still waiting... tests are negative so I'm a little worried as the latest I've been so far is 3 days! Just want my BFP!

Poochymama83 · 07/01/2017 23:22

I'm out! AF arrived this evening CD35 -5-8 days late. Thinking positively that we now have a whole other year to get successful and have some fun in the process. This just wasn't our year.
Good luck to you all!! Hope you get your Bfp's soon Smile

Jellybabie3 · 07/01/2017 23:38

Hi all, i am in. Cd22 of cycle 3 ttc #1. Going to test thursday cd27 although last month had 30day cycle. Bit tired of not knowing now! Dtd every day in fw so fx!!

HighlandMcChancer · 08/01/2017 00:40

Aww no poochy :-(

I think I'll be out too, don't know why but just not feeling it's my month!

BlueSkies87 · 08/01/2017 08:33

I think you might be right Anna2006 AF is due on Tuesday and I usually get pains a few days before and they are starting to set in this morning. Headache too which is common at the point before AF. We will see...

Sorry to hear AF arrived last night Poochy but no doubt 2017 holds great things for you.

Good luck to all those who are testing today x

AFireInside · 08/01/2017 09:04

BFN yesterday morning yet AF has not arrived! I am holding out hope.
Flowers for everyone to whom the witch paid a visit.

SophieGiroux · 08/01/2017 09:33

11dpo and BFN for me today! Also have all of my usual cycle signs so didn't think I was. Annoyed now because I could've enjoyed my NYE after all!! Sad
