Anyone else starting the two week wait?

[Mamabear12]

We dtd Monday morning and now the two week wait. Not that hopeful as I feel I was one day too late. But it was during the 48 window of the static smile face. Second day though. Anyone else just about to start or at the beginning of the 2 week wait? How are you keeping busy?

Onemorewish. What is iui? Sorry, I don’t know what all the abbreviations stand for. I’m not sure exactly when I ovulate, but I’m guessing day 14,15 or 16 😀 I got my static smile (the is when opk detects a surge) on Monday morning. But we didn’t do the deed until Tuesday very early morning. So I’m not sure if I might have ovulated Tuesday or Wednesday? I’m a little confused with the whole surge thing.

Lozzy25. My dd is 6 and ds 5. My puppy is 7 months. It’s a big age gap with the third because it was either me not ready or my husband not ready. So finally we are both ready for a third. The first two were/still are high maintenance lol.

Anyone symptom spotting? Nothing really for me. I just feel tired. But spent 2.5 hours hosting my sons 5th bday. Then one hour walking the dog. Then taking the kids to another bday! So exhausted!

Forgot to say, I tested for my first D.C. clear blue one week after my missed period (not sure how the heck I waited an entire week for testing after a missed period?!?!?). I was traveling and wanted to read the result w my dh. For my second dc I used sainsbury and clear blue one day before Aunt Flo was due. Clear blue said negative and sainsbury positive. Next day used first response and got positive.

This time around I have used sainsbury and first response for the two cycles I tried. I already got my first response in the post (Amazon is fast!!!). But now I’ll need to wait a few days to test!

Hey Everyone! Can I join!? I'm currently 12dpo... tested at 10 coz I couldn't wait n a bfn:( ! I haven't bought anymore tests as I know I'll be tempted to test again. This time round ordered some from amazon due to arrive Wednesday (this would be the day after ad is due) so fingers crossed!

Iui is Intra uterine insemination. Not a common abbreviation on here but known to those who need it ( like ivf ). Iui can be medicated to help women ovulate or non medicated so women just have donor sperm put inside them after they surge.

I'm non medicated and often single women or lesbians with no known fertility issues will do non medicated iui first.

Hope that helps x

I have frer in the house from last month eek!!!

Farhana70 welcome. And crossing fingers for you! You are almost able to test again! 🙂 is this your first time or do you have dc? How long have you been trying?

Onemorewish thanks for explaining. Good luck this cycle! How many more days for you?

Kids are back at school this week and I have loads to catch up on! Hoping this week goes by fast!

8dpo today and has awful cramps and back ache yesterday afternoon and evening. Hope it's a good sign! X

Jq28. When do you plan to test? I think I’m 7 dpo. But not sure as could only be 6. As I only know when I got the surge, not when I ovulated.

Can I join? Driving myself crazy!

I think I'm 5dpo - I've been using an app rather than sticks so no idea how accurate it is. Massively symptom spotting now, my boobs feel so sore and swollen, and I've had odd moments of dizziness and feeling mildly nauseous.

It's weird, I went from "I suppose I'm 32 if we ever want to have kids we should probably start trying" to "I NEED A BABY NOW!" in about a 1 month period! It's all I can think about!

Just ordered some of those first response sticks where you can supposedly test 6 days before your period... which would be end of this week.

Good luck everyone - anyone else madly symptom spotting?

Hi Mamabear12 - trying for my first, first month of trying. Fingers crossed for all of us! TWW is loooooooooong!

Il probably wait until Friday due on on Monday!
2nd proper month of trying.

I'm 6dpo, planning to test on Sunday when I'm 12dpo. That's 1 or 2 days before AF due going by the two different apps i use and id rather do it when dp is here. I was really confident earlier in cycle that I would fall quickly again but not it's getting closer to AF I'm not really hopeful at all. It's going to be a long week.

I'm also 6dpo - I think - first month of actually trying for #3 first cycle off the implant I had a 25 day cycle then the next cycle was 30 days.
I think I ov'd Tuesday which would work for my 25 day cycle we dtd that day but then also dtd on the Friday which would have been 2days prior to my ovulation on a 30day cycle (I'm mega confused)
used opk's but didn't have a positive result really had two lines but one was lighter than the other for about 4 days then nothing.
Fingers crossed - trying not to symptom spot but it's so hard. Boobs are tender and I am absolutely exhausted but I do have two children keeping me up at night lol!! Good luck everyone !
Xx

@sophie2205 when do you plan on testing? I have zero willpower I ordered a couple first response tests today off eBay despite the fact I've already got a pack of 10 eBay cheapies in the house.

@Easterbuns1 erm probably tomorrow at 7dpo ! Implantation just may have happened, I've had loads of cramps and things going on today and boobs are really sore so I've got my fingers crossed. Will be testing first thing ! You ?? X

I tested today. Even though it’s way too early! Negative of course. I don’t really feel pregnant. With my second I kind of just had that feeling and was super tired. I have this worry it will take me a while to get pregnant. But I guess I should just enjoy this whole process and think positive. Good luck to everyone! This two week wait feels like Forever!

Sophie2205 how old are your other two dc?

I really am going to try and wait til Sunday but will most likely be on Friday. Older two dc are away to their dad's so will just be me and dp here. I will likely know by Wednesday or Thursday if I'm out though as that's when id expect to be full of pmt!

Easterbuns1 how old are you two dc? I am starting to worry about the age gap! Which my dp agreed to try earlier! My youngest just turned 5. But I guess the older two will be very independent so will be easy to focus on the little one. At least while they are at school.

@Mamabear12 it's way to early yet so don't count yourself out just yet!

Saying that I'm 7dpo tomorrow and already fighting urge of thinking what's the harm of poas on ic - it is seriously addictive!

I have blood snot ( yuk tmi) and blood in nose but not quite nose bleed. I have of course googled! I would love to believe this meant I'm pregnant but surely it's still too early?

Ahh I'm sure my clock has slowed down , time is really dragging

I agree,it’s addictive for sure! Even this morning I thought should I poas? But stopped myself lol. Maybe I’ll just use the leftover ovulation strips lol. Apparently those pick up pregnancy hormone as it’s similar to the surge one. I’ve got several extra, as I knew when to start testing so I only had one day of circle and it went the next day to flashing for 4 days to static.

And now I only have one first response test left so I better save it until at least tomorrow or better Thursday!!

Has anyone else caved?

I did a IC yesterday 🙈😂 don't even know why I bothered it's far too early for me I think I just like POAS. Definitely not touching another til at least Friday (honest).

My have one of each ages 9 and coming up for 8 so a pretty big gap and we are in a 3 bed so not sure how living arrangements will all work out but they have been saying for ages they would like me to have a baby which is nice!

Can I join too? I'm 28, on cycle 2. If I ovulated when I think I did, I'm 8dpo.
Thought I saw possible implantation bleeding a couple of days ago. But got sore boobs today and feeling a bit grumpy, so not feeling hopeful now. Period due any day :(
Fingers crossed everyone!

welcome starkid and good luck!

Easterbuns1. Mine have also asked for a baby for a while now. We were back and fourth about it for a while. We even got a puppy. I thought perhaps that might be my baby and she still is 😀 but she is so lovely and easy that I am still ready for a third dc. My friend lives in a 3 bedroom and has 3 Kids and an au pair! She put two kids in one room. Baby sleeps with parents and au pair has own room. I guess yours might be too old to share if they are of opposite sex? Mine currently share and they are boy and girl. But still okay ages 5 and 6. I plan to separate them maybe in a year or two. Although, usually my ds (younger one) sleeps in our bed almost every night (hence that added difficulty for us to dtd lol). We have extra rooms in our house, but we tend to mainly use two rooms for sleeping. For now anyway! I assume if we have a third, I’ll have to sleep in the room alone (although my dd insists she wants to be in room w us!).

Starkid, do you know your cycle length? I don’t really feel any different so I don’t feel hopeful. Although, from past experience I never had symptoms anyway until further along.

@Mamabear12 - well it was 26 days last month, and 31 days the month before that! So not really sure to be honest This will be my first, so haven't got a clue about how I'm meant to feel really, so just symptom spotting like a (hopeful) maniac!

It's hard with working out sleeping arrangements long-term isn't it? I don't even have any yet, but am already worrying about our (lovely!) 2 bedroom house with no options to turn into a 3 bedroom.
