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

Still the same here for me ladies, slight brown discharge when I wipe and the cramps....
I think it's AF to be honest.....
But not out yet so I'll cling to the tiny bit of hope I have!

AF due on the 26th but have terrible lower back ache and my breasts are very achy which i normally only get 2-3 days before so who knows. Had small amounts of spotting around ovulation too but not holding out hope after 14 months of trying. DH and i have tentatively agreed that this is our last month of trying and we will just accept that DD will be an only child. I fell pregnant so easily with her so it has been a very confusing and frustrating time and each month the age gap grows and it is reaching the limits for us.

@Catscakeandchocolate exactly the same as me this month due 1st though the tww is gruelling. And we are on month 15

Hugs to you Owl. It is so shit but i remind myself i have a lovely Dd which a lot dont. She out the blue said to me today i am lonely because i am an only child. Where she learns this i have no idea but i felt stupidly guilty (nursery i assume - she is 33 months)

Hi everyone!

Congrats to those with BFPs and good luck to those still waiting ☺️

@AaronPurrSir... I am also on TTC cycle #2 and due AF on 24/2!! Are you also 31 and TTC #1? I got a massive BFN this morning so was feeling very disheartened till I saw your post. It's nice to know that there are people as desperate as me to pee on things all the time! I'm going to wait until 24th now I think. Or maybe 21st... 😂

Just to add, my only symptom is feeling more light-headed than usual! Is that a normal symptom?!

@salsadip we are twins! I’m 32, so almost right and yes, this will be no1. Fingers crossed for both of us! I’ve felt a little light headed, my main symptom has been very mild period like cramps in my womb from a day or two PO. I normally only start cramping 1-2 days before AF so that was definitely new.

I’ve been reading reviews on the internet cheap tests and loads of people saying they aren’t very reliable and can be pretty shit. Has anyone found the same? I’m going to use a FRER in a few days rather than keep relying on the cheapies.

Yep think in future (or hopefully not) I'm just going to use the FRER a couple of days before AF due as there isn't much point doing them extra early - it doesn't make much difference other than satisfying curiousity haha, especially if they aren't very reliable. At least as soon as I know my cycle a bit better!

AF arrived this morning so Defo no hope of late ovulation etc :)
Back to "day 1" again....

Sorry to those of you having a rough time. It's so frustrating and such an emotional rollercoaster! Fingers crossed for next month.

No AF for me yet, but temps dropped again and boobs stopped feeling so tingly, so not feeling too hopeful now.

I just tested at 10dpo and BFN ... gutted 😭 x

@vickywood3 Not over until AF arrives - it's still early. Fingers crossed! I've started spotting so I think that's me out - had a good cry and now trying to get back to being optimistic for next month.

@vickywood3 that’s still pretty early! You’re not out yet! I think I was 12dpo before i got a faint line on a clear blue with DD.

Sorry to those who’ve had the witch turn up fx for you all next month.

I had a tiny bit of brown shooting yesterday morning in my knickers, nothing to see when I wiped. I would’ve been 5-6 dpo yesterday which I though was too early for implantation bleeding, pretty sure I didn’t ovulate any earlier. I never spot or bleed in between periods and have always been regular with them. After 9 months of trying (I know it’s hardly anything compared to some) I really hope this is our month and if so that it sticks after MC & chems.
Had some strange sort of cramps, not low down like AF cramps and sharper but could’ve been something to do with my stomach as opposed to my uterus. God knows!

AF is due next Monday/Tuesday so will probably do a FRER at the weekend.

Hi hoping you all don't mind me joining. No idea where I am in my cycle as I MC last month. TTC#1, cycle 3, CD 27 but no idea on length or if I've ovulated (came off pill in November) I've had cramps for the last 2 weeks been doing OPK but no definite as I've had a few that looked positive but days apart presuming MC has messed me up. (TMI sorry but the last 2 nights during sex my right ovary has been sore/painful when deep unsure what this means if it's a symptom or a cyst or something else) I think I'm weeing more and my nipples feel different but i could be going insane. Goodluck all xx

Hang in there vicky! :)

Hi all, just spotted this thread. I'm on the feb thread. Cd 28 today. Think I'm 10dpo as got positive opk on cd18. Fertility friend app has me at 8dpo. Anyway all Ics to date have been neg but had a faint line on an opk yesterday so went and bought some frers today. So the following is a pic with an afternoon sample. What do you think?

I can definitely see a shadow with a hint of pink. Needs a re test in a couple of days though.

@dontquit retest tomorrow with fmu looks good though x

No doubt there @dontquit that's a line - hope it gets stronger over the next few, congratulations! x

Sorry for you @weaseldee & fx for a better next test @vickywood3 keep us posted. Waves @xLeanne128 & welcome :)

@loulou82 how are you getting on?

Out of FRER's & peed on last IC this morning just for fun no developments. Think I've had another chemical, annoyed AF (not in the usual 'flo sense). Just waiting for the witch now CRY CRY

Hey @passtheeights , used my last frer yesterday morning, keeping thinking I see a line, then turning into a lunatic and opening up the test and no line to see.

More amazon deliveries coming today so will do an IC tonight then FRER again tomorrow with fmu. I think I will be around 10/11dpo tomorrow so hoping for something to start showing now.

Feeling mild nausea I think, unless my head is just willing me to feel it.

I'm on cycle 2 and already in this testing state! Bah!

Oh how the symptom spot is now in full flow this eve. Now convinced I feel sick, boobs are tingling and have headache.

Oh and ofcourse I'm weeing more. Send help 🙈😂

Hi all - I’m not exactly in the TWW but still
its now 4 weeks since finding out about my MC and almost 4 weeks since my D&C. I’ve had weird symptoms these last few days and today I’ve been nauseous all day. I’m trying to put it down to a bug.
I normally have a 28 day cycle (pre MC) which would be due on Wednesday.
Do I do a test, and if so when do you think?
I know it’s highly likely that its my hormones regulating and nothing more - but it’s driving me crazy and messing with my head!!

Hi everyone,

New to Mumsnet after conceiving with the stork and donar sperm! My wife to be and I only had one try but timed perfectly and can't stop looking at 2WW symptoms!

I am 5dpo and the last couple of days I've felt really heavy and aware of my womb. It's probably nothing and in my head but I can't help but hope!

Yesterday mid breakfast I had to run to the toilet and throw up, was fine straight afterwards.

Also slightly moody and emotional.

What do you guys think?

I have all my fingers crossed for you and DF @Chattein! It's a bit trickier when your don't have sperm on tap (so to speak 😂)
I haven't got much experience the symptom-spotting but that sounds promising! Good luck good luck good luck!
