2ww: solidarity & symptom spotting

[PassTheAfterEights]

Anyone else in the 2ww?

1dpo cycle 1 post-mc, AF due 20/02 - last 2ww thread I was on got me through!

Trying to follow Kwick's rules for 2ww, no hot baths / cold veg etc, and not to react to every single twinge

@vickywood3 I think I got a BFP. But it's so faint I want to wait another day to see if my hcg levels increase!

I've done three (oops🙈) but they all gave a faint line! 🤞

I don't want to tell my DH until I know for sure as otherwise he'll get really emotionally invested just to feel disappointed - no point in both of us feeling like that!

Baby dust to everyone! It is Valentine's Day after all!! xx

Congratulations!! @Melamine 🎉🎉

There's definitely faint lines there @cookiesaurus! How many DPO are you?

Wow this is turning into a really lucky thread for everyone (except me!!!) fingers crossed for loads more bfps 😀

Congrats to you too cookie! It’s def positive! Thank you everyone. So exciting.

Thanks! I'm 10dpo today. I only started using OPK this month and I ovulated 3-4 days later than the predictions in all my apps!!! No wonder it hasn't worked before!

@Daisymalone keep trying!

This month I embraced the glass of grapefruit juice a day - I hate grapefruit - who knows if it worked or not!!

Congratulations @melamine so excited for you 😍😘

@cookiesaurous - I can definitely see a very faint line, can’t wait to see the line getting darker 😊.

Still trying not to symptom check but it’s soooooo hard not too xxxx

Hi guys,
I'm very new to the TTC thing. I came off the pill at the end of January and had no bleeding at all since. Very much thinking I'll need to wait till at least I'm in a regular cycle till I would start testing etc but over the past few days I've been feeling nauseas when I've been leaving home to drive to work (so in the morning) then sometimes if I need to pee during the night I'll get out my bed and feel a little sick. It's probably unrelated totally but obviously I'll probably be paranoid that it's something else but not going to get my hopes up! Last night my nipples were stinging and almost to the point they itched. Most recent symptom over the past 2 days is a weird pulling feeling in my left side as low as where I would feel period pains. Did feel a bit crampy over the weekend too and was so sure AF was coming but nothing. Could this all just be my body adjusting to no pill after being on it for so long? I would be pretty shocked if I ended up pregnant as I was almost 100% sure it might take a while.

Hi ladies, thank you all for your posts. I now feel slightly less crazy as been symptom spotting like mad.

AF due today/tomorrow i’ve had tingly boobs but not sore and also feeling slightly nauseous if I don’t eat for a few hours but that may just be the stress of it all. Today i’ve Had normal type period pains so given up hope a bit...Planning on testing on Friday if AF is late.

Congrats Melamine

Ahhh fab fab news @melamine and @cookiesaurus no doubt about those lines!! Delighted for you both x such lovely update to wake up to!

No progress here boo now trying to convince myself it's just early and not random leftover hcg from miscarriage and steadfastly trying to ignore the three FRER's sitting next to the loo *nods

hello and good luck to the newbies and all still waiting to test! x

@Rmad6716 it could be either, it's certainly possible to conceive straight away - very hard to tell between symptoms of AF and early preg and without any cycle data to go on the best thing you could do at this point is test. FRER seem the most reliable but they're expensive - worth looking for a deal on Amazon. In my experience anyway I didn't get any "symptoms" as such of my body adjusting to not being on the pill - my body felt normal. Only developed the symptoms you're having ahead of AF or BFP. Good luck to you!

Congrats to all BFP's so pleased to see all your visible lines!

I am 7dpo today. Could not drink my morning coffe for the first time.
Symptom spotting at it's finest

Happy Valentine's to everyone

Thanks @PassTheAfterEights !

I will just wait and see.

My other symptom was struggling to get my jeans buttoned this morning so maybe more than likely AF! I always thought it would be like the movies where the women just throw up one morning and then that's it lol (naive I know!) but im realising so many people hardly get symptoms.

Good luck to all

@PassTheAfterEights really hope you get a BFP! It's really hard not knowing for sure! Test again in the morning - or this afternoon, this evening and tonight! 🙈

I swear TTC makes us a little crazy! I've actually kept my POAS habit a secret from my DH as he'd think I was irrational - he'd be like "10dpo is still very early - just wait until the day after your period is due like it says!!" Easier said than done!!!

@PassTheAfterEights sorry to hear about your MMC xx

So many BFP’s! Maybe this is a lucky thread? I hope so.

Only 2dpo and the wait is killing me already!

Congrats to all the BFP!!

The 2ww sends you crazy hey! I'm almost counting every time I pee!! Ridiculous!

I've got at least 10days til I should POAS! May feel like 10 years!

2WW is so painful today, esp not being sure what's going on. Finding it really hard today, think I'm 9dpo according to ov sticks, another bfn today, I know it's probably too early, I just wanted to give oh a surprise on Valentine's Day esp as we MC'd last month.
Just seen another Facebook pregnancy announcement to, making me sad and frustrated :(

@Colourful86 am so sorry about your MC. But I know what you mean by everybody seems to be pregnant.

@Daiseydot - how is it going? Hope the witch is staying away for you!

Good luck to everybody else in tww, I am currently 5dpo so I have ages to go x

@vickywood no change for me, still have tummy pains but no sign of AF yet. Keeping fingers crossed but feeling a bit deflated already as I had a m/c at 8 weeks in August and didn’t have any pain at all before BFP that time.
I’m also due to have a laparoscopy next Thursday to check for endometriosis- a nice BFP would be a good excuse to avoid the op! I’d be interested to know if any ladies have had a laparoscopy before - I don’t know what to expect afterwards

Ooh this is a lucky thread! Congrats everyone who got a bfp. I'm 10dpo and I've massively got my hopes up this month. I've purposely not bought any tests so I'm holding out until the weekend.

No luck for me this month - AF just arrived.

Fingers crossed for you all on the 2ww. I’m going to cheer myself up with a glass of wine

Aww @Daisydot123 I'm sorry and hope the lap goes well, no personal experience but one of my besties has stage four and she has a loooot of them and says not to worry. Keep in touch & best of luck for March xx

Congratulations to everyone who got there BFP's.
And those who didn't so far.... Good luck for next month.

Newmrs22, I'm 9DPO and trying to hold out till the weekend!
