Anyone else starting the two week wait?

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?

I wish it were implantation. But doubtful as I never had with first two and I have been known to get spotting before period in the last year. So frustrating. And sorry that you are also experiencing the start of Aunt Flo. At least mine seems to be coming a little earlier so I’m not left wondering for more days. But still frustrating. Good luck to everyone else! Hope to hear about some positives soon!

keeping everything crossed it's not the start of AF for you. My skin has started to break out which is usually a sign my period is on the way so I'm not holding out much hope either.

@Mamabear12 - I feel the same, since yesterday boobs rather swollen and feel grumpy, with occasional belly ache. Think I ov'd around the same time as you too, & now just waiting for AF. Might test again Friday if still not here.

Sorry you both seem to be out :(

Mamabear12 · 07/11/2018 11:30

Yea, yesterday I felt bloated and today a little cranky. Ah well. I’m having a toffee nut latte to cheer me up (probably not the best thing to have when ttc!). At least I’ve started working again again. I’m at a good weight. Slim, but not too slim (basically pre pregnancy weight). But sugars seem to effect my hormones (if I have too much it breaks me out or messes my cycle a bit). Also, I think another issue is we keep dtd one or two days after I think we should (either I’m too tired or my dh is tired). Next month We will be strict and dtd when I first suggest.

Same, kept being reasons e.g. too busy, out that evening etc. so possibly only dtd twice during fertile week :-/

Lilbug2202 · 07/11/2018 11:56

Hi im ttc#5 1st cycle with opks. And on cycle day 20, so in 2ww. Good luck to all for bfp soon x

Farhana170 · 07/11/2018 15:28

What's the best pregnancy test out there at a reasonable price?

Mamabear12 · 07/11/2018 15:48

I would just get first response. Two tests for like 7 pounds. They are reliable and if you really want to make sure not to waste, test day before period due or day of or day after. Good luck!

Well still no AF, and I was certain it would be today when I woke up feeling so shit. No stomach ache anymore but still rather sore/swollen boobs.

I guess I'll test again Friday if still no show, as would be CD30, 11 dpo and 6 days post implantation. Cycle usually 28-31 days long.
Wish I had the will power to leave it til my period was like a week late before I tested, but I don't haha

Have only got internet cheapies or Asda tests so might treat myself to some first response ones as well (but just use the internet cheapies still for now!)

Mamabear12 · 07/11/2018 17:04

starkid, how do you know you are 6 days post implantation?

OP posts:
starkid · 07/11/2018 22:04

Hi, I'm guessing after I had some spotting around 6 days after suspected ovulation. Tbh it's all a slight guess on my part!

OneMoreWish · 08/11/2018 08:30

I caved and tested at 9dpo.

Something came up v v v faint within the timeframe. At first I thought was pink but now it's dry I'm not sure. Also difficult to take a photo to share

Anyone else starting the two week wait?
starkid · 08/11/2018 08:57

Hmm I say test again in 2 days if AF still not here (I'm doing it 11 dpo too)

Easterbuns1 · 08/11/2018 09:06

I also tested today 9dpo def a negative. I really should have just left it til the weekend and used a FR like I said I was going to!

Farhana170 · 08/11/2018 09:42

Defo AF is here! I have high hopes for next month tho! Good luck to everyone else!

Mamabear12 · 08/11/2018 09:48

Farhana170, crossing fingers for better luck next month for both of us!

Good luck to everyone else!

Ah I've started spotting must have been in an indent.

Gutted :(

Mamabear12 · 08/11/2018 09:55

OneMoreWish, I notice with those tests, there is always an indent mark. Sorry to hear you also have started spotting. I have been googling implantation bleeding with the hopes that it could be that and wishful thinking. But I know its not implantation as I have never had that before!

Anyway, I am now going to focus on trying next month. And this time I will dtd more then once and at the right times!!! Good luck!

OP posts:
OneMoreWish · 08/11/2018 10:00

Yep I thought I had figured out the difference but perhaps not...

I know it won't be implantation bleeding as too close to my normal cycle.

Won't be able to try again until May!

Monday55 · 08/11/2018 10:06

Is it too late to join ?

I got positive OPK 3rd November and then another one today (8th Nov) but only managed to DTD yesterday and today, Not sure where I stand as I have 2 positives on different days. AF due 19th November

I'll keep fingers crossed for all xx

starkid · 08/11/2018 11:48

Just had spotting so I guess AF really is on her way today :( Was getting my hopes up as well

jq28 · 08/11/2018 12:47

Iv started spotting too think I'm out this month 😭

Easterbuns1 · 08/11/2018 16:10

those of you who think AF is starting will you carry on trying as normal this next cycle? I'm tempted to take a month out due to Christmas, just to avoid having tonexplain to extended family why I'm not drinking if I was too get my BFP.

starkid · 08/11/2018 16:47

I don't really drink anyway so I'll definitely be carrying on, will be my first :) will try harder to do it more though! Haha

Farhana170 · 08/11/2018 17:01

Defo will be trying, i don't drink either so not a problem. It was only my first try for my first (didn't even dtd more than I should have) also don't even know my cycle properly so won't be getting my hopes for this next month!
