The dreaded 2ww

[Lisaawilson]

Hi
Just wondering if there is anyone else who is now waiting the two weeks before testing. I had positive ovulation test on 27th this month so just a waiting game now :( only managed to dtd on 25th and 27th so hoping that will have kept me covered

Think I trust this one more than my ICs - not even FMU

MyBread totally impressed if you can hold off til Sunday! I’d totally be testing thurs/fri, but I’m a POAS addict.

@Fortheloveofscience a lovely line! How many dpo are you now? 🎉😊

Jumping on this 2WW thread! I think I’m on 4dpo based on dates rather than temping or tests... loooong way to go until POAS

I’m 1 day late 😬😬😬

Thanks @jazzyjellybeans I’m ok about it tbh. Only my first proper cycle trying so not too disappointed at least. On to the next one haha

@GemmaJen 11DPO . Had a BFN yesterday and the squintiest of squinters on an IC this morning. Feeling a bit freaked out I was convinced this wasn’t going to be the month.

@Lola87 when are you going to test? Do you know how many DPO you are?

@Arewethereyet19 baby dust and fingers crossed for your next cycle.

@fortheloveofscience I’m 10 days PO so I think it may be too early? Last month I did about 20 tests as I was doing them too early and daily. Must be a little less crazy this month!! I’ve had pink spotting but more days than what you’d expect for implantation bleeding so I’m not holding my breath xx

Whoooooo! Omg I actually gasped the first time in my life! I took a digital pregnancy test and read the words 'pregnant'
So much better then reading lines. Highly recommend!

I'm 10 DPO. Tested yest knowing it's too early - why do I do it to myself

Trying to hold off until the weekend to retest

I just did a test 😔 I knew I shouldn’t!!
Why do I do it to myself?!!! My husband thinks I’m going crazy! I’m so pleased I joined MN it’s like therapy!!
@backawayfatty we are the same days PO! Fingers crossed for you too xxx

@Farhana170 how exciting! I am really looking forward to doing a word test instead of a line test. Think I'll keep that for the weekend

Good luck @Lola87! When will you test?

@LillianFullStop I’ll wait till Saturday now to test again...good luck to you too!! Xx

I'm another 4dpo trying not to get too excited as had a chemical pregnancy before Christmas which was hard to going to wait as long as I can before caving and poas

@Lola87 good luck to you! I'm going to try to hold off until Sat also. Is this your first?

This is my first cycle after my MMC at 9 weeks. Want to be pregnant but can imagine I'll be very stressed which I'm not looking forward too!

Hello! I'm 6dpo, hy did no one warn me about the tww?! Pleased there are lots of other people in the same boat, I feel like I'm going slightly insane! (My husband agrees)The days are dragging by.
What's the earliest I could test? Or is it best to wait till the day I'm due on.
Also being new to this completely, including forums, is there an acronym dictionary somewhere, as I've had to Google the lingo!

@backawayfatty this is my first yes. I’m so desperate to be pregnant it’s consuming me!!! I had a chemical pregnancy last month so I think my body is all over the place. I did ovulate though this month so hopefully it will happen soon!!
@attybones you sound like me!! I have had to ask google to translate too 😂
I’d wait till you’re late to test from my experience! You end up spending a fortune on tests and end up disappointed! I did tests last month and it didn’t register positive till 20 days PO (past ovulation) then was negative again after 5 days. My doctor said testing so early and regularly meant I may not of known I’d been pregnant and would of saved myself the stress! Good luck to you!!

I'll jump in here....congratulations for the bfps.....indeed a lucky thread.....l am 9 dpo tested today and a bfn.... Maybe it's too early

☹️ well my period started this morning so it’s a BFN for me this month!!
Good luck for everyone else waiting!!

@lola87 I'm sorry, that's rubbish, sending lots of positive vibes for you next month. Tonight, curl up with a hot water bottle, some wine and eat all the foods you've been avoiding the last few days. Xx

This is only my first month activley trying, I have so much respect for everyone who's been doing this for awhile.
I was miserable last night, husband firmly in the firing line, probably PMS but I don't normally want to rip his head off! I need to develop some patience or find a hobby to distract me for the next few days.

Hi all! How are all the BFP ladies feeling? Hope all ok.

I am also counting myself out for this month. I've had really bad cramps and spotting the last day or so and I think AF is on her way.

Although I'm sad, it's not so bad as I've been 'looking forward' to having a proper AF as it's my first since my loss (12 weeks ago!). So in some ways it will be good to have a proper 'clear out' and start a fresh next cycle. Fx.

Fingers crossed for everyone still hoping for a BFP this month! If not see you next month!

xx

@MollyFaith00 awh well I wish you all the luck to get your BFP!!
I'm feeling okay I'm only 4 weeks so still really nervous about the whole thing it's also my first time :( have nausea tho and still sore breasts so I suppose that's a good sign! Xx

Sorry to hear AF got you @Lola87 lots and lots of baby dust for next cycle!

Fuck, it's 2 lines! I'm 2 days late, but didn't track ovulation last month, didn't even think I'd had sex the right week as we're doing a house renovation and we were knackered! Need to go home and tell DP. Am I mad? I have a soon to be 15 year old, life on an even keel, we had the coil taken out in April so thought it wasn't going to happen and I was pretty okay with that...and now I've got 2 lines
