2WW... The longest wait

[guinicorn]

Hi, I was just feeling a bit down in my 2ww and wanted to share a bit. I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot but it's impossible.

Im around 7 or 8dpo, I couldn't pinpoint the actual day as LH tests were inconclusive, CM got very watery one day and the next seem thicker so I'm hoping that's when I ovulate. I have sore boobs, slight backache, weird ache very low down in my abdomen, almost like an internal bruise. If I stand, sit or bend then I feel it ache.

Cervix is high and soft, creamy CM, little bit of nausea but that's probably because I'm working myself up... I stupidly did a test this morning which was a bfn so feeling even worse now!

I know everyone else feels the same way but I wish I just knew one way or another... I'm 35 so worried that's affecting my fertility too.

Thanks, just needed to vent a bit x

How is everyone today?

@sauty hi Hun not bad how are u xx

@AutismFamily sore, sickly and just waiting for tomorrow to hurry up now. 😬 Just been to chemist to stock up on tests and there must be a baby boom as only had the £17.99 ones left and I thought even I’m not that stupid. So Asda in the morning. 😂

@sauty I thought the same thing when I went yesterday lol xx

@AutismFamily @peasando
Today’s test. On a 25miu.

@Sauty
That looks positive! Do it again in 2 days fingers crossed for you! 😊

@sauty I told you Hun xx

@AutismFamily I now don’t believe it. 😂

Just read online that these are the tests giving false positives! 😩😩😩

That don't mean it's wrong Hun xx

By my reconning I’m due AF today but it’s difficult to know for certain due to having a miscarriage in early Feb. Anyway, I’ll retest tomorrow with a FR. at least I know they are reliable!!!

That best hun. I have a good feeling for us both this month xx

@AutismFamily looks like I fell for the positive-not-positive. The FRER this morning was a defo bfn.
I’m just going to enjoy the weekend with my family, chill out and forget about testing, I’m driving myself and my bank balance to the brink.
How are you doing?

@sauty I got a couple of light squinters on dip stick ones but not sure. I still feel like I'm pregnant but I just don't know. I'm gonna do the same as u I might leave it a week and see what happens xx

@AutismFamily. I’m totally out this month, AF has arrived with a really bad vendetta!!. My head feels like I’ve been hit with a baseball bat, it’s so bad it woke me up during the night. 🤕
How’s your weekend been?

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that @sauty. Weekends not been bad I have held out doing tests so far xx

That’s great, just relax now and rest when you can. Keep me informed as to how you get on please. X

Hi all I’m back! I misscarried yesterday, feel so sad about it and scared it’s going to happen again, life can be so mean xx

Aw bless, sorry to hear that @Helensss, physically and mentally it’s an emotional and draining time for you and your body. Make time for yourself, draw on the strength of others and be comforted by the fact that your not alone at this time. People are here for you not only on this thread but around you too. X

Ohhh @helensss sweetheart my heart goes out to u sending big virtual hugs. Xxxx
@sauty that's what I'm doing Hun. How has Ur weekend been xx

Busy weekend @AutismFamily, my youngest turned 7 on Saturday so I was in Build A Bear for 10am so that she could spend her vouchers. We cane out with a Corgi on rollerskates which barks, has a beating heart and smells of lavender... Plus it had to have a lead, a coat and a posh carrier bag. I swear I could have bought a flatscreen TV for the cost of that plush. She wanted a KFC for her lunch and then back home for Unicorn cake. It was nice to spend the day as a family and not worry about other things. I started bleeding yesterday aft and I wasn’t surprised tbh, but it got really intense during the night and I’m in agony today. 🤒
Did u stay away from the tests and how are you feeling? X

So sorry to hear that @Helensss and sorry to hear you're out this month too @Sauty , fingers crossed for better news all round soon. How are you doing @AutismFamily ? Have been off the boards for a few days as trying not to drive myself mad but broke out the OPKs this morning, determined to time it right this month and it's a bit tricky as we have in-laws staying this week and then DH is away!

Thank you everyone, taken a couple of days off work and get back to it I guess and hope it doesn’t keep happening, I’m thankful that we can conceive though.
Good luck to everyone! Xxx

How are you all? My bleeding has stopped now and hoping I can get back to it shortly and hope for success xx

I'm the same, TTC with first baby and I'm 35 years old... this is only the second cycle, I'm currently 4 days DPO and feel slight cramping/bloated on my lower abdomen. It could really be AF coming soon rather than anything else but I'm manic every morning, waking up to take the temp ((BBT), scared my temp will drop

Last month I AF came at 7 days DPO so I just can't relax. How do people cope with this, especially if trying can take a year?!
