Two week wait...again

[BabyB19]

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 🤦🏽‍♀️

haha, how long are guys waiting... what DPO are you going to test?!

@BabyB19 I agree we should have an award for the person who lasts the longest 😂 @dizzy85 I love peeing on a stick. I was stood in boots looking at OPK or PT tests earlier and considering buying one even though I have loads already in the house lol if I could buy a test now that would give me the answer I would be happy to pay some serious money for it.

@BabyB19 😂😆oh what are we like I'm glad it's not just me that does these crazy things! It does satisfy you tho even if just for one day 🤣

I might do an actual preg test tomorrow but I'll only be 8dpo then so still too early logically. I have a night out tomorrow and usually I'd be drinking so I dunno what I'm gonna say or do to not get people suspicious. Does everyone avoid drinking in the tww?

@Jonesbabynumber1 it's so funny isn't it 🤣 I brought a bunch of ovulation sticks from Poundland and still had loads left so may aswell use them 😄 yes I would pay all my money for a test that did that!

@ceebee21 I’m going to try and wait until next Friday and I’ll be 10/11 dpo but with a frer. What test will you use @dizzy85?

@Jonesbabynumber1 @dizzy85 @ceebee21 maybe we should all make a deal that we won't test until 10dpo and make a pact to help eachother stick to it? 8dpo is realllly early isn't it?!
I don't think however big the prize is that I would care about winning it if it meant waiting until last to test hahah. We're all crackers

Yes I agree it’s just going to lead to further anxiety especially after I had that CP. I’d love to be one of these people who just wait and not test and sees if AF shows up or not. My husband is gone to pub for and usually I’d go with but didn’t feel up to it. I’ve had a cold for last two weeks but now it’s turned into a sore throat it’s not going away so feeling sorry for myself. My CM is strange as well it’s like actual dry glue tmi I know.

@dizzy85 I do have a drink as a midwife said until about 6 weeks it doesn't actually take anything from you anyway. Not that I would drink when I got a bfp btw butbin the tww I do.
@Jonesbabynumber1 that's rubbish, my answer to everything get a soak in a hot bath and have a glass of wine x

@BabyB19 Yes I agree I drink in the TWW you’ll lose your mind if you cut it all out. If I had a glass of wine I’d be asleep the wouldn’t sleep all night so cup of tea instead. What supplements do you all take I’m just in folic acid and vitamin d. You here loads of people changing their diets and all sorts x

I think I'd start all that if it was taking me years to conceive but as it is there's no reason for me to think it won't happen really quick again so I'll see how it goes. All I'm taking atm it folic acid and even that I'm quite hit and miss tbh 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I'll take that seriously when I get caught @Jonesbabynumber1

@BabyB19 yes I feel the same keep life as normal as possible until you need to make changes

I think we put enough pressure on ourselves without denying ourselves a bag of chips and a glass of wine don't we ☺️

@Jonesbabynumber1 @BabyB19 hello I'm back just had a little nap lol it's been a long week 😁
So I was thinking of just using a Poundland preg test as I have some already but chances are slim at 8dpo. I could try to resist until 10dpo...I will try my best 😄!
Oh that makes me feel better you heard that from the midwife I might actually just chill out abit tomorrow then and enjoy some wine 🍷 I agree there's no need to put extra pressure on ourselves the wait in hard enough.
As for supplements I still have some pregnacare left from before so I've been taking that for now but I'm terrible at remembering it 🤦‍♀️

Morning all, how are you all. I’m feeling better this morning had 4 temps above cover line so sows ovulation has happened and it’s slowly going up. Temping definitely adds more stress but good to see something actually happing. Fingers crossed it keeps going up. Anyone else temping here’s mine

Good morning @Jonesbabynumber1 I'm feeling good Thankyou, how are you doing? I don't do the temping myself I did look into trying it but I'm rubbish at remembering things so I don't think I'd stick with it. I'm 8dpo today and so far resisted testing I think I'm just going to actually wait until 10dpo so Monday which is a special date for me anyway so if it's a bfp that would be extra special 🤞🏻

Morning ladies, I'm going to be staying away from my phone this weekend as I'm visiting family for my birthday and going to have a couple of days to switch off. Stay positive everyone and baby dust all around 💫 be back soon xx

@BabyB19 happy birthday too you🥳 have a lovely weekend x

Happy birthday @BabyB19 I don’t blame you having a break. I’ve done the same today ended up having a massive sort and clean of the house 5 hours later I have a bad back but was so worth it. Since TTC I have been on a mission to finish all the odd jobs in my house. Today I’ve been turning my box room into a dressing room a space just for me. Now husbands gone to get a Chinese. Wow @dizzy85 8 dpo that’s flying by how you holding out not testing?

@Jonesbabynumber1 that sounds like a good productive day! At least it kept your mind busy. I'm not too bad as I've had a hectic day and evening out with family so I've been distracted, I've had a few glasses of wine but feel abit guilty which is annoying. Other than that I've not really felt any symptoms other than slightly sore boobs and I don't know whether to test tomorrow as I'm not at work or still wait until Monday 🤷‍♀️ how are you have you felt anything?

@dizzy85 don’t feel guilty, alcohol won’t do or change anything, but may help you relax which is a good thing. Nothing really today except a bit of nausea, but I’m glad as I think less symptoms the better. See how you feel when you wake up, but more change of an accurate readying 10 dpo.

@Jonesbabynumber1 yer I suppose your right I mean I know plenty of people who haven't quit drinking until they've had a positive test and their baby has been perfectly healthy so a few glasses of wine is fine 🙂I think it's just from what happened before I'm over thinking. Besides from that I do feel relatively chilled out and I think i could actually manage to hold off testing till Monday. Let's hope the lack of symptoms are a good sign for us both. How long have you been trying for I forgot to ask before?

@dizzy85 keep us posted no matter what you do. I’ve been contraceptive free for 4 months but counting this as my 3rd cycle of TTC, so early days although it does feels like a life time. Doesn’t help I’ve put so much effort in to it trying not to get pregnant I didn’t realise it would take so long to catch.

@Jonesbabynumber1 I will definitely keep you updated. I know what you mean I was on the pill for years but eventually stopped then just used condoms until we were ready to try we actually tried for about 4 months last year and then had a break because of stuff in life happening and then started again and took 6 months it felt like forever I honestly just imagined I'd have unprotected sex and that would be it. Really hope this is our lucky month. I'm so ready for it now.

Hi ladies back with you, I'm 7dpo now and starting to get the urge to test 🤔 going to hold out until Wednesday if I can. No symptoms at all as yet but I know that's normal so not worrying about it. Any updates? X

Hello @BabyB19 not much going on at the moment either I'm 9dpo still not tested yet, I'm def gonna text in the morning, I can't wait to go to bed so I can wake up and test 😆.
