Two week wait...again

BabyB19 · 22/10/2019 15:28

Hi mums/mumstobe, I’m currently in the two week wait after having a MMC (missed miscarriage) in June at 12 weeks. After a 10 week bleed I have settled into what seems to be a normal cycle again appx27/28 days. I’m saying I’m in the two week wait but I’m unsure if I’ve even OV. Anyone want to keep me company as I’m going out of my mind and feel like I’m boring the real people in my life 🤦🏽‍♀️

Welcome @NZlife the more the merrier so we can all do this together. I'm hoping at least one of us get the bpf we're waiting for! Good luck Star

@NZlife can you tell us anymore about the opk's at all? Do you do them each day until you get a line? X

Can I join :) 8 cycle of trying for #1!

I was just OPKs and apps but it was making me stressed and sad lol so this month have just chilled about it, currently 7 DPO. My best friend is a midwife and told me when I stop overthinking it it'll happen xx

BabyB19 · 23/10/2019 15:19

Hi @tbug and welcome. How are you feeling this time are you managing to stay calm, I find it so frustrating when people say that haha I will calm down when I get my baby! 🤣

OP posts:
Tbug · 23/10/2019 15:28

Hahah I know! 🙈 To be honest I haven't been thinking about it which is really nice cos we've had nice sex not planned baby making haha! So fingers crossed but if not I'm just gunna chill and keep trying, I found OPKs too much though, helpful but I was obsessed!

BabyB19 · 23/10/2019 15:51

@Tbug I have stayed away from the opk's so far but I think I'm going to do them next month if this month is a bfn, purely because I want to make sure I'm ov again after mmc but after that I will just keep using my flo app to keep track of my cycle dates. You've got the best attitude towards it. We are lucky in that sense as we both have really quite high sex drives so I'm not worried about that side of things. He is desperate for a baby too so he right on top of it...excuse the pun! 🐰

Tbug · 23/10/2019 16:02

Aw yeah, of course ❤️

And yeah it is lucky haha! I'm sure he is 🙈🤣 how old are you guys?

BabyB19 · 23/10/2019 16:26

I'm 32 in a couple of weeks and my partner is 34, neither of us have other children so it's nice we can experience it together for the first time. How about you?

OP posts:
Tbug · 23/10/2019 17:22

Aw that's nice :) I was 24 last week and my partner is 25 tomorrow haha but it's better if I get a BFP now than when we first started trying cos I would be able to defer a year of my nursing degree instead of trying to juggle it all 🙈 (maybe my body knew it was slightly the wrong time!!)

BabyB19 · 23/10/2019 17:34

I'm a big believer in everything happening for a reason so I think you're probably right! At least doing nursing you should have some more of an idea about the biology of it all than I do! And you have time on your side, plenty more baby making years in you yet Smile x

OP posts:
Tbug · 23/10/2019 17:36

So true :) when is your AF due?

BabyB19 · 23/10/2019 17:38

Not until 30/31st ish. Which seems like an eternity away right now! You?

Kayleigh0713 · 23/10/2019 18:07

Hey ladies.

Hope you don't mind me joining.

I had all the signs for ovulation yesterday, cramps, EWCM the lot. Didn't manage to take an ovulation test until today. 3pm it was a very strong positive the test line was darker then the control line. I decided I would take another so I haven't urinated since 3pm.

Just took another one now at 6pm and the test line is a lot less faint. I'm assuming I've already ovulated? I'm cd12 today, last month I got my peak at cd13. So I'm hoping to test in two weeks. I'm a bit behind the rest of you.

Good luck everyone!! X

BabyB19 · 23/10/2019 18:11

Hi @Kayleigh0713 welcome to the group! I hope the early ov didn't throw you off and you managed to get enough goes in beforehand! I feel like time has stood still at 7dpo!
Good luck to you too!

OP posts:
Kayleigh0713 · 23/10/2019 18:16

Hi @BabyB19 luckily we actually dtd yesterday but before thta it was the 18th so 4 days before!! Going to try again tonight just incase.

Are you getting any symptoms at all at the moment? X

BabyB19 · 23/10/2019 18:38

As they say it only takes once @Kayleigh0713 so you never know. They do say there's still a chance for 24 hrs post ov don't they so it's worth a shot tonight?!

I've had some lower back pain for about 2 days and had some cramping today. I feel generally periody though today and AF not due until 30/31 so without getting too excited I'm taking it as a good sign!

OP posts:
ceebee21 · 23/10/2019 23:56

Hi all, only 1 or 2 DpO for me... I haven’t had a proper period in so long due to implant....can’t actually remember what my AF symptoms are...fingers crossed I don’t find out xx

siaa · 24/10/2019 06:44

@Gr1ff yeah it might be a bit early for symptoms at the moment but who knows, everyone is different! I've woken up feeling really sick this morning which never happens to me but I'm still only 8dpo so I'm going to assume it's a coincidence so I don't drive myself mad wondering :-( I don't understand how people think it's their business to let you know that your clock is ticking. It's so insensitive, they have no idea what a woman is going through privately when they make comments like that. A taxi driver asked me earlier this year if I had children, when I said no he asked if I wanted them so I said yes, and then he asked so why don't you have any already! I decided to fill him in on the last 12 months so I think he regretted asking pretty quickly!!

@BabyB19 thank you, it was very difficult at the time but feels like a bad dream now. Due to everything that happened and all the tests and hospital appointments we've had, I feel like I could actually be a Consultant Gynaecologist now or right a book on fertility!!!! It's so hard not to test every day isn't it, I did one two days ago at 5dpo and it was negative, don't know what I was expecting really!! I've always ended up testing positive a few days after the TWW so think I need to be patient (who am I kidding though I'm obviously going to do a few more tests between then and now!!!) I feel like you, I'm 32 but I have no children yet so don't feel like I can give myself a proper break from it, need to push on! Hopefully your symptoms are a good sign Smile

@ceebee21 not long now until 4th November, if you used a FRER on 2/3rd you might get an early answer? I'm not sure how reliable they are, earliest I could use one is tomorrow but wondering if I should just hold out until next week... I know it's terrifying trying again, you just have to keep the end goal in mind and keep talking to those around you in the meantime for support. Hope you have a lovely holiday!

@Tbug @ @NZlife I've been using OPKs, I know they can drive you insane and make it feel like it's a science exercise rather than something natural but I found they helped to pinpoint O day so we could at least make sure that we were timing things right and then if I don't fall pregnant we don't have to wonder if it was just that our timing was off.

@Kayleigh0713 once you get a positive ovulation test that means that you'll actually ovulate 24-36 hours later so you've definitely DTD in time! Sperm can live for up to 7 days in the womb as well so your 4 days previous will have also counted Smile fingers crossed!

BabyB19 · 24/10/2019 07:47

Morning @sia it does sound like you've had a bit of time of it, the benefit for us is you should be full of knowledge! Do you mind me asking how the testing went? Did they find anything of concern?
I've woken up to a massage from a friend who has been trying for 3 years, had 2 MCs, and has now carried to term and had a beautiful baby girl Isabella. They were tested and tested and found no issues, so sometimes it really does just take time.
We have to hang in there xx

BabyB19 · 24/10/2019 08:35

Well ladies @ceebee21 @Gr1ff @siaa @Tbug @Kayleigh0713 @NZlife I've just done my daily test and again bfn (8dpo, I knowwww too early) but I've still got lower back ache, my tum is swollen and I had to get undressed in the night as I was so hot and I love in a cold house so that is unusual!
I'm feeling positive and want to send positive vibes to you all! There will be some bfps this cycle xx

OP posts:
Tbug · 24/10/2019 09:09

I feel like AF is coming which is weird cos I'm not on till 30/31st!! 😍😍😍

BabyB19 · 24/10/2019 09:30

@Tbug this is exactly how I feel and due same as you. I think this surely has to be a good sign? X

OP posts:
Tbug · 24/10/2019 09:47

Fingers crossed! Think we're the exact same ov date too 🤣 x

Gr1ff · 24/10/2019 10:03

@BabyB19 don't lose hope! What tests are you using? Last time I was pregnant (when I miscarried) 3 different brands of tests gave a BFN but the Boots digital ones a day later gave a BFP. Might be worth trying a more expensive one in a few days or if AF doesn't arrive? Sending you positive vibes!!

BabyB19 · 24/10/2019 10:19

@Tbug we are completely in sync hopefully we'll be on a new thread soon with matching due dates 🥰🥰🥰

Thanks @Gr1ff I've only been using ICs atm as I know it's probably far too early, I'm going to get past the weekend and then get a better one ☺️ thank you for your encouragement x
