Needing some 2WW buddies.

Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

We match! I'm 4wks tomorrow. I've been testing like a crazy lady. Two IC every day, one in morning and one at night lol.. Lines are really strong in my opinion, is that good or indifferent? I had a scab today to check for cysts on my ovaries and they couldn't yet see the wee bean, but the full bladder and poking has left me with horrible cramps 😟 I've got slightly pink discharge again today and very little ... Only noticed as I'm examining everything atm! I'm so worried. Wish there was a magic answer / solution for us!

**scan!!

Snap! 😄 darker lines is a great sign, it means things are heading in the right direction. I haven't got anymore tests at the moment but going to hold off testing till Friday 😊 Can I ask? What is a IC.. haha sorry.. I've seen it so many times be talked about and haven't found the acronym for it.. I assume it's a form of testing?

When you went for you scan did you tell your doctor/sonographer? Did they give you an internal scan? If so it's most likely just from that which has caused you the pink discharge. Hard not to worry but it's BEST not to worry.. and again easier said than done! xx

Internet Cheapies... Wee tests, you get like 50+ for £6.

I did, but they just did a abdominal scan in the end. Horrific cramps though. Had to sit with a very full bladder for about 30 minutes. Felt like I was going to pee myself when they were scanning and pushing my tummy. So bad 😟

Are you testing on Friday again? All going well I plan on telling DPs parents and my Dad at the weekend. They'll be well warned to keep quiet but DP and I need the emotional support either way.

Oh wow!! That's super cheap! I should get me some of those!? Would you say they're as good as an expensive one?

Yeah those scans can be painful after glugging down 2 pints! Yep going to wait till Friday to test again and we'll be telling our parents again too at the weekend! I can imagine it will all be cautious again but after last time I think they would want to know what's been going on with me as we previously waited to tell them till we had our 12 week scan.

Exciting times ahead I hope. I think I'll contact the midwife next week if all is fine by then.

I've been too excited, I'm already booked with a midwife lol.

They are not as sensitive, but good for monitoring things. Id deffo recommend them!

apple we have reached 4 weeks. How you doing sweetie

Morning! So a BFN for me this morning - disappointed but also realise I'm not out just yet. Would be simpler to stick with just one app I think! That's what's baffling me! They're all saying slightly different things! But no symptoms of either AF or otherwise - just the odd twinge every now and then. I'll just have to wait then I guess.... 😙

Aw AJ... Not completely out yet. I really hope your body stops messing around soon. Sorry how long have you been TTC again, I think you mentioned before but I can't recall x

We've been trying since August so not long in the grand scheme of things. I started this cycle very optimistic & solely using Ovia to track things & then literally overnight it moved my fertile window back by a week, showing that I'd completely missed it! Was really pissed off! I think next month we might need to opt for consistent BDing every 2 or 3 days rather than waiting for the fertile window. It doesn't help that I've never managed to catch a positive LH surge using OPKs - the ICs seem to indicate that it's near by getting stronger lines but then I dont seem to be in the right place at the right time to confirm ovulation! Gahhh!!!

Tempted to take my foot off the gas next month - no OPKs or temping - just lots of sex!

I did that this month, threw everything aside and was actually quiet ill through most of it... And look what happened. I think we can over do the practical and physical stuff when ttc

Well. Checking in... And killing time. I'm at the EPU as they think its ectopic... They've taken bloods but it's possibly too early for a scan. Just waiting on doctor coming back. 😟

Oh Nature my darling, how are you doing? 😔 Why do they think it could be an ectopic? Are you bleeding and in a lot of pain? You poor thing.. I'll be thinking of you. xx

Hi.

Not long home. Good news, I think, they found a sac and my lining is nice and thick so they've ruled out ectopic unless there is another in there hiding away at moment. My HCG is 854 which seems to be good? Getting retested on Friday...

They think my pain is from a cyst and bleeding was implantation blood.

That's a relief Nature!! I hope you can relax tonight xx

I'll maybe relax in 8 months lol

Lol!

Is this your first? Will be mine - I imagine I will be quite anxious knowing my disposition! I hope not though!

Still no sign of AF yet and normally I have clear signs by now. No achey boobs, no spotting, no ravenous hunger & no up & down mood swings.... but then no pregnancy signs either! The odd twinge in my uterus region, and sometimes a discomfort as if starting a UTI and a sudden urgency to pee. I did notice on Monday that a child I was working with really smelled - which either he had an accident or I hadn't picked up on it before! AF forecast for Saturday.... x

Oh thank goodness everything is ok!! You gave us a real fright. Will they look into your cysts more? Those HCG levels sound very promising :) Plenty of rest nature!

AJE84 hmmmm how many days are you late now? I was wondering if you have kept the tests you've taken already? Sometimes the ones you dismissed as negative develop further to show faint positives.. I know it's not the said thing to do as there is a 'window' of prime results but even so it might help to double check them again. xx

I've still not had any real pregnancy symptoms like before.. but had really awful heavy cramping on Tuesday for 15minutes and thought I was losing the pregnancy or start bleeding any moment :( but I've not.. so I don't really know what my body is doing.. I've gotten so paranoid I took a test yesterday morning instead of waiting till Friday and the lines came up instantly and much darker.. Even so I'm still worried.. I'ved started worrying about the possibility of blighted ovums.. ahhh!!

OH! I've also bought a load of IC's but doubt that will ease my worries at all! But they're taking forever to turn up... I hope these don't break my need to test all the time :S

Yea, my first.

How many days late are you now? I noticed my heightened sense of smell yesterday when DP had only half heartily cleaned the Kitty tray.. Stinky!

Well I'm not technically late yet - Saturday is the day! But then Ovia has once again changed its mind and said I'm now expecting AF the following week!!! 🤔 But I'll re-test early next week if she's a no show as I'm pretty sure I should start this Sat!

Apple: that must have been really worrying. It's so hard when you're so acutely aware of every twinge & ache! How are you feeling now?

X

Feeling a bit down. CD 27 and af just starting with brown spotting. ovd CD 16. Tummy aches. I'm in a bad mood and that's ttc cycle 3 done and dusted. Oh my. What a journey. Feels awful when af arrives. Onwards and upwards I guess

shh I'm sorry lovely, sending you big hugs and lots of chocolate. Xx

@Sshsecretenclosed that's so frustrating. I know how you feel! I can sense the start of AFs imminent arrival too! That's why these groups can be helpful - all in it together.

I'm all bloated & uncomfortable with increasing cramps so I'm thinking I'm out this time around too.

Pamper yourself this weekend - lie in, drink wine, eat chocolate & be real with how you feel. X

How's everyone doing
