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

@Sauty 😂😂😂

Hahaha that’s funny, yep will phone doctor tomorrow morning and get some sort of ball rolling. I’m very emotional I keep welling up, bundle of nerves and emotions!! X

@page23 oh haha no worries!! Good luck this month 😘

Hey @Helensss how are you doing? Did you speak to the doctor? xx

Hi @peasando I’m ok thank you, one minute I’m calm, the next I’m freaking out, so scary!
Definitely doing me good being busy at work though. I called today but the nice one isn’t there till Friday so I’m going to call in the morning and she said I’ll def get an appt if I say what it’s regarding. Not really sure how far along I am, only ovulated on 18th but have had no period to base it on since miscarriage, thinking about 4 1/2 how are you getting on? Xx

Hang in there, I know it how much it messes with your head. That's good you can see doctor on Friday, fingers crossed they refer you for a scan. I'm fine thanks, 25 weeks now and pretty huge! I've got quite a lot of holiday left to take at work so I've got less than 10 weeks now until I start my maternity leave, it's just going so quickly it's ridiculous!

Yeah it does mess with your head doesn’t it! I am hanging in there, just getting through each day with no bleeding feels like an achievement 😂 wow that went quick! Not long now you must be very excited xx

Did this when I got home from work (had one in the house) and is super strong so I’m hoping it continues! 🙏 xx

Whooooooo!!! Looks blinking marvellous to me. Hope your relaxing as much as possible.

Woohoo @helenesss that's a in Ur face positive xxx

Ahhhh @Helensss that's super strong!! Love it!!! xxx

Thanks! Yes trying to relax although quite busy at work, but that’s good keeping my mind of things. Fingers crossed, hope everyone else is ok! Xx

Tiny bit of light pink when I wiped a minute ago, hoping and praying it’s normal and doesn’t progress!!! 😭 xx

Right, let’s not worry too much, have you been drinking enough water, could you have a bladder infection for instance.

Yes I have been drinking lots of water, I do have a sensitive cervix due to a colposcopy a few years ago and some bad cells removed, it was also after bowel movement so I’m hoping it was just irritated a bit! If that was it i won’t panic, just scared it will continue xx

Deep breaths, let's stay positive, I'm sure it's absolutely fine. Focus on good things. Are you going to phone the GP today and get them to refer you for a scan? xx

I had some pink spotting at about 6 weeks (and again at about 16 weeks) and my heart just about stopped - but it's all ok xx

Relax hun. How long after ovulation are u xxx

I ovulated on the 18th August , my boobs still hurt and no more since. Got an appointment at 9.10 which is good, they won’t be able to do a scan till 6 weeks will they? Xx yeah if I get no more than I’ll relax, I don’t think I would have worried if I hadn’t had the other 2 miscarriages. Thanks guys! xx

@peasando what was your spotting like if you don’t like me asking? X

Dr couldn’t really tell me a lot but he was so lovely to me. He said I just have to wait really but he’s booked me in for an appt with him Monday as I’ll know either way then. He even offered to sign me off work but I couldn’t sit at home and do nothing.
Least it’s friday and have no plans and husband home all weekend xx

Did he say anything about an early scan? My spotting was literally just a bit of pink when I wiped - could only see it on the toilet roll. Terrifying though - the stress we put ourselves through! xx

@peasando yeah I’ve had a tiny bit more but still pink and on toilet roll. He did but he said it’s too early to see anything at the moment, if nothing awful has happened over weekend he said we can discuss it more. I have got some mild cramps too though 😞xx

@helensss the cramps could potentially be the embryo burying in, same with the light show, so I think I can say for everyone here, we are not losing hope. Positive thoughts only. Thinking of you.

Exactly what @Sauty said. xxx
