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

Talking about dreams I had one last night too one of them ones were u are in your own bed trying to wake up but u can't and u can't move. Lol have u 2 ever has them?
I have marked on the clear blue where I think I can see something. Xx

@autismfamily I know those ones, I think they're anxiety dreams which I wouldn't be surprised about you have in the 2ww!

My phone won't let me zoom in to the picture so I can't see... Sorry!

Definitely not in as much discomfort today, not as achey around my back. Still have the odd stomach feeling but again not as strong. Maybe it was implantation and now that's eased off..? Or it could just be the calm before the AF storm! x

Yeah I think I can see something really faint but not sure, I’ve driven myself mad with faint lines over the last year, try and wait a couple of days maybe? Have had those dreams yes! Going to be so hard to wait till Sunday 😫

Hi can I join?
I'm wanting advise on Sainsbury's own tests if anyone has any experience. I've read they are unreliable.

This is my test but I'm not too sure what to think, CD25 due Monday/Tuesday and ovulated last Monday.

Thanks and good luck to everyone this month.

@helensss that must be so frustrating... What kind of test was it? I'm due AF on Sunday so I'm going to stop testing till I'm at least a day over...

Do you ladies use any apps to track ov etc? x

@destiny25 hi and welcome ☺️ I'm not sure which tests have bad reputations but I'm definitely seeing a positive on that image! Have you done any more since? Good luck 🤞 x

@guinicorn I took one last night and one this morning but I'm not convinced, I think I'll get a pink dye test or clear blue when I'm actually due before I believe it 🙈 I'm just really impatient

X

It was one of those cheap little stick things so probably my fault! I can definitely see a faint positive on that! Maybe wait a day and get a digital?Sounds like we are all Around the same time in our cycles,
I’m due Sunday too 😬

@destiny25 you’ve made me really want to do mine early now 😂 let us know the outcome! 🤞🏻

@Helensss I know fingers crossed too us all!
I haven't really been thinking too much into it this month so not hopeful either 🙈
Let me know how you get on x

Hi @destiny25 I have had them ones I have had one look like yours and one is in my images above that is lighter but think I can see something. Was the pic taken in the time frame? Xx
@guinicorn and @helensss I did another one this one is a frer one lol and tell me what you think. They are horrible the dreams aren't they. I use a app called my calendar to check mine. See my problem is I don't know when I would be due as I missed last month period and according to my "normal cycle" I should have ovulated this week not last but I'm convinced I did cm was how it should be and ovulation test was darker and this week pretty much nothing. I wasn't actively trying at the time ( I pretty much have up on the idea after suffering so many MC) but literally from like 3 days after I thought omg I'm pregnant. Where as last month even with the missed period I was like nope Im not I know it do a test to make sure and show doc and oh. Xx

@AutismFamily I've just looked at yours I can see something on the clear blue but not so much on the Sainsbury's, I've decided I'm off to get a clear blue after work I can't wait till the weekend 🙈
Keep me updated with yours x

This is a frer one I done about hour ago and took pic within 10 mins of doing test xx

@autismfamily so sorry to hear about mc that must have been very hard! 😘😘

@autismfamily I can see a faint pink line there I think!

@AutismFamily I know I'm sure I can see something! How many dpo are you?

@destiny25 don't know if it was when I definitely ovulated but I'm pretty sure it was but done the deed 8 days ago. Thank you @helensss unfortunately it is something I'm used to I have suffered 13 in total but recently I had 2 in a row ( I lost one and then fell again straight after) which I have never had that close and then the next month I had a jelly like period and then skipped month after but all tests was bfn whole time not even a Ickle bit of a line and also no symptoms.
So it's not just me then if you both think you can too I have a bit more hope. I just want that big clear in your face line lol xx

@autismfamily Oh you poor thing,each one must have been so difficult, sorry you had to go through that 😣

I know what you mean about strong line,
I’m 10dpo and really want to rest now but think it’s too early isn’t it? I’ve also got a digital and don’t want to see not pregnant on it 😂😫

It has been hard I think I might not be able to carry boys.
It could be but u never know Hun look at mine. I personally wouldn't recommend the digital one just yet I think they are not very sensitive I would wait til you get a line then do that one. Xx

@AutismFamily I'm so so sorry to hear the problems you've been having, you have my utmost sympathies and you are such a brave lady, I would be a wreck by now but your an inspiration to keep going. Ive not heard of my calender, I have 4 apps on the go, of course all saying different things so i know i need to cull it down to just a couple and stop confusing myself... Now I'm home on the laptop I can definitly see a faint line on your picture! Good luck hun!

@helensss Its early test results like this that make me get my tests out! lol Maybe do another of the internet cheapies and see? I read on one of the sites that you dont always have to use the first wee of the day, are you testing different times? I know what you mean about seeing a negative, doing my tests has brought me right down and now I'm having a tearful day I just feel worse.

@Destiny25 Oh trust me, when I get my bfp I wont beleive it till a doctor looks me in the eye and says 'youre having a baby' or maybe even the first scan! Definitly think you have a bfp there though :D

So this evening I still have very dull aches around my back (mostly my left side), cervix still high, boobs still sore, weepy... can I just jump to monday or tuesday and get to testing again... best of luck ladies xx

Forgot to say I found this and thought it was quite accurate!

@guinicorn that article reads like it's our life's lol.
I don't know if to believe it ATM I'm scared if I do and I'm not it will break me xx

@autismfamily I completley understand. When I actually get my bfp, when its confirmed and when i see the proof for myself... I just know I'll fall to peices, all of the emotions im forcing down inside me now will just erupt. I think its the telling yourself its not true that makes it easier to take. I'm here for you all the way and I cant wait to hear your good news xx

I’ve been good this month and haven’t tested yet, struggling 😅 my boobs don’t normally feel like this, can’t hwlp my mind running away with me and hoping. And yes I’ll be a mess when I get mine too🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Haha that article is so true!

@helensss oh my word you have lots of willpower! 😂 Xx
