Two week wait - help keep me sane!

[sav89]

Hi ladies,

I have been TTC for four months now. I actually didn't realise how stressful this whole experience is. I shouldn't have expected for it to happen straight away but i'm so impatient.

Anyway, would love to see who else is out there to join me on my TWW. I used CB ovulation tests this month and dtd the day before ovulation. I had an HSG last month and my tubes are all clear so that's good to know.

I am only about 2dpo. Obviously no symptoms the only thing worth mentioning is I have been getting these weird gurgling/popping noises in my stomach. It's SO strange I've never had this before. Maybe it's because I'm drinking lots of pineapple juice which I never normally do, who knows! What are you all doing to keep yourself occupied and not obsessing over this tww?!

I've booked my first acupuncture session this Friday so hopefully that will help de-stress me! Good luck to you all, would love to hear your stories x

I was expecting my amazon delivery for tomorrow but its only 1 stop away now.... tempted to do another this evening!

Do it!! Mine still isn’t here and I’m not sure how many stops away it is, still haven’t had a wee as don’t want to waste it! 😂 I guess I’m prob not pregnant anyway as I doubt I’d be waiting 4hours plus if I was lol

Doh, tests arrived, peed into testing pot (lovely and glamorous this isn’t it), then realised AF is def here, 2 days early! Of course, since I had pee and a test, I tested anyway, and I swear there’s the faintest of squinters again, but this is def AF so who knows what’s going on.
This is my first month of opk testing, so that puts me at a 12 day luteal phase, which I’m now worried is too short!

Always so glamorous peeing into a pot!! Ah well nothing glamorous about babies at all.

So sorry to hear AF is here already! I wouldnt worry about it too much theres so many factors for it arriving early - you had quite a lot of symptoms for a long time too!

I tested and i think im going insane. FRER had a faint line but you cant pick it up on camera and im not sure it had any colour either!

12DPO tomorrow...

Thanks @closedcircuit, I was almost convinced with all my symptoms, just goes to show there really is no knowing doesn’t it!

Are you going to test in the morning? Fingers tightly crossed for you getting a darker line x

@Houseplantinvasion Yeah i think i will. I kept saying to myself last week only sunday and wednesday i will test! And then friday night ive been testing almost twice a day... i have no self control this month at all.

Are you going to use OPKs next cycle too? Any game plans?

@closedcircuit thank you. I've checked out her post and it is reassuring. I still have NO sign of AF and first response is just giving me a ridiculously faint line so I'm now ignoring that because I've had it for a few days now! I've never in my life had a cycle that's more than 26 days and today is day 30... but, with my mmc, I know I ovulated only 12ish days ago so I'm not really counting the start of the cycle much! Ugh... I'm going to do one more first response in the morning before work. Back to work - in a primary school teacher - so constantly reminded about children however they are so lovely and keep me excited for eventually when I get my chance! Any good stories of similar situations to keep me going? Positive thoughts? Wishing everyone luck

@HouseplantInvasion sorry to hear AF came! Good luck with your next cycle. I'm quite sure it will be me in the next day or so! I keep thinking any hour now it'll show its ugly face and ruin my day

I def want to use opks again, if nothing else I want to know for sure how long my luteal phase is generally, so I can predict af better! I thought it was always 14 days before but obviously not 🙄.
This month I got my positive opk Monday lunchtime, but dh was away until Tuesday night so I guess it was a long shot anyway as we only dtd Tuesday...so the game plan is more bd 👍

Fingers crossed for you @PinkLady89x I really hope your lines suddenly start darkening. It must be really tough to be around children so much too x

Hi Guys,
So (sorry if TMI) I've had a very tiny amount of brownish spotting today. Not really anything there when I wipe but still, it's there! I'm guessing I'm out for this month now! I'll be sure to hang around next month and hopefully there'll be more BFP to be seen! I'm not going to test anymore unless it all stops because I'm fed up of the very faint lines that I'm constantly staring at . How is everyone else today? X

Oh that's a shame! My AF came on Saturday in full swing so it's another month of trying for us!
Wishing the months by at this rate.

Ahh! Wishing you luck for the next month! I'm sure there will be more BFPs 😊. I'm still only lightly spotting and it's driving me mad! I'm assuming it's so weird because I only miscarried about 8 weeks ago. Ugh! Maybe I didn't conceive this month because my body is still messed up from the MMC so I've got my fingers crossed for a fresh start next month with my system hopefully being normal again! It's not easy being a woman 😂

AF due today but hasn't arrived yet. Test was BFN on FRER. Hoping i have super late implantation going on but unlikely. Feeling gutted

Good luck! It could be a few days after AF is due so don't give up hope yet. As for me, I got full on AF 4 days late and I'm on CD3 now so I'm quite excited for what this month has to bring. Once AF actually comes, it then just gets exciting again 😊

Hi ladies!
How is everyone getting on?!

Hello @MrsLBear how are you getting on?
Well, I got this on Thursday! I want to be excited but I've had some brownish discharge since and today it's turned red but still very light. I'm meant to get AF today and if I hadn't taken that test, I'd just assume she was here! I'm wondering if I've aggravated something because we DTD this morning. Ahhh so stressful isn't it?!
