Two week wait...again

999 replies

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 🤦🏽‍♀️

@BabyB19 @siaa patience is not my strong suit I like to be in control as I’m a planner and this is defiantly something you can’t really plan or be in control over. Men have it easy compared to women. I’m jealous of my OH just sat there loving life no worries and I’m anxiously waiting to go to bed to wake Up and pee on a stick. Wow Boxing Day what a Christmas present seeing your baby but doing an early scan would something I would definitely consider.

BabyB19 · 27/10/2019 17:53

I will definitely ask @siaa, it did make it hard last time though as we seen the heartbeat etc at 9 weeks and got scan pictures and then at the 12 week scan we found it had stopped growing somewhere in between 🙁
@Jonesbabynumber1 they just get to revel in all the extra sex and not have a clue, I do think we shield them though so it's probably our fault. I won't be mentioning it until I get a definite clear bfp!

Can I join? TTC number 2 AF due on 4th November. Had a positive OPK last Saturday so I think I must be 6/7 DPO

SallyCinnamon3009 · 27/10/2019 18:01

Sorry pressed post to soon

Swore I wasn't going to be obsessive and test early but I've caved and ordered some FRER from amazing and planning to test Friday morning as at a wedding Saturday

BabyB19 · 27/10/2019 18:02

Hi @SallyCinnamon3009 and welcome! What was your experience of getting a bfp last time?

Jonesbabynumber1 · 27/10/2019 18:03

Hi @SallyCinnamon3009 and welcome. I know the feeling the more I try not to obsess the worse I am so now I just take it day at a time some days I’m worse than others.

SallyCinnamon3009 · 27/10/2019 18:08

Thank You Ladies 😃 anyone else testing on Friday?

Last time I just tested day of AF in the evening after she didnt turn up. It took about six months from coming off the pill but I wasn't tracking OV or even making the most of fertile window really.

I had a chemical in September had a faint positive which was stronger the following day in a FRER then disappeared. That was about two weeks after having thre implant removed. It's putting me off testing early but as I have the wedding on Saturday I thought it better to check before hitting the free wine

siaa · 27/10/2019 19:02

@Jonesbabynumber1 they definitely do have it easier although I think my OH finds it hard to watch me go through everything physically and be unable to help!

@BabyB19 so sorry you went through that, that is heartbreaking. I know how you feel as the same thing happened to me with my first MC although a little earlier on. I thought I was home and dry once we'd seen the heartbeat so it was a big shock the next time we had a scan.

Jonesbabynumber1 · 27/10/2019 19:05

@SallyCinnamon3009 I’m 12dpo so will be testing tomorrow I wish I had will power not to test but if it’s not positive tomorrow I will know I’m out. I wish I could wait as I had a CP last cycle with a faint FRER but trying to think least something was happening to get a HGC reading. This is my first time TTC so it’s all knew to me. I’m on cycle 3 but think I missed OV on 1 cycle. How many cycles are you in?

Jonesbabynumber1 · 27/10/2019 19:10

@baby19 and @siaa you both must have so much strength to go through that as it must of been very emotional. I agree you kind of get told that once they are there on the screen your much safer. Yes I won’t be telling mine until I get a bfp so I definitely shield him but he can definitely when I’m due to test

SallyCinnamon3009 · 27/10/2019 19:24

@Jonesbabynumber1 I'm counting cycle one from the first AF since implant removal so I'm on cycle 2 at the moment

Gr1ff · 27/10/2019 19:26

@BabyB19 neither am I! Haha I'm actually being pretty sensible about not doing anything until next weekend as I know if I test too soon it will be a BFN even if I'm actually pregnant. I kinda feel like I've talked myself out of it this month already for some reason and convinced I won't be pregnant - I think it's because it's my first proper cycle post-MC and I don't want to be too disappointed next weekend.

Carol9ine · 27/10/2019 19:30

Hello, I'd love to join you on your journey, I'm currently trying to conceive baby no4 last 3 were girls, hoping for boy lol.. I thought it would be as easy as conceiving the girls but unfortunately, I think my age is working against me 33 lol.. I'm currently in the tww 4dpo.. after a miscarriage last month.. I hate this part.

siaa · 27/10/2019 19:37

@Jonesbabynumber1 it was hard but you just have to keep going don't you! Think if it was for anything else I'd have crumbled by now!

@Carol9ine welcome and sorry to hear about your MC. How old are your girls? Hopefully your age won't stop you - I'm 32 and TTC #1! What date will you be testing?

bluetue · 27/10/2019 19:43

Damn got cystitis now so no more trying this month. Just hope I did enough during fertile window!!

Jonesbabynumber1 · 27/10/2019 19:48

@siaa yes you got to keep going I’m glad I’m not only one TTC baby number 1. Hi @caroline Sorry to hear about your MC. I know lots of older mums it just takes a little longer I think how long ago was your last pregnancy can you remember your symptoms?

BabyB19 · 27/10/2019 19:50

You have had a good head start on most of us @Carol9ine I'm 32 in a couple of weeks and this is the 1st for me. I hope you get your boy ❤️
@bluetue what a bummer, can you get the cystitis powders they work for me in two days!
@Gr1ff You are really doing well I wish I had your willpower, stick with it!
@Jonesbabynumber1 It is hard but as @siaa Said when you want it so much you have to keep going. You do think you're safe after seeing the heartbeat though and it does make it so much harder.

BabyB19 · 27/10/2019 19:52

@SallyCinnamon3009 you're doing the right thing waiting so you don't get your hopes up when you see that second line incase it is a CP but it's so bloody hard holding out isn't it

OP posts:
Jonesbabynumber1 · 27/10/2019 19:56

@BabyB19 So glad to be on this journey with your support. Not sure if it’s AF or BFP waiting but either way my hormones are all over the place all I’ve done is get tearful all evening over happy and sad things my OH is not sure what to do with himself this evening

siaa · 27/10/2019 19:58

@Jonesbabynumber1 I'm not surprised you're tearful, the pressure we put on ourselves with this journey is so intense!! You're not alone I got all weepy this morning as well x

BabyB19 · 27/10/2019 20:00

And same to you ladies @Jonesbabynumber1 I've just been saying to my sister I feel heard for the first time in months, as good as my people around me are they don't understand how I'm feeling right now. I feel really quite emotional that I have this support. Even if we don't get our bfps this month I would like if we could keep the group going for some ongoing support for eachother ❤️

OP posts:
SallyCinnamon3009 · 27/10/2019 20:04

@BabyB19 I know. I've said to myself if it doesn't happen this month I'm just gonna chill next month. No apps, no OPK and just see what happens

Jonesbabynumber1 · 27/10/2019 20:07

@siaa @BabyB19 I find it hard to open up to anyone even to my OH as great as he’s been. This is first time I’ve felt like I’ve been able to ask the questions and say what I’ve needed to say. Yes 100% I would really like to keep going until we all get our BFP

bluetue · 27/10/2019 20:10

@BabyB19 I agree and think we should keep the thread going Smile

BabyB19 · 27/10/2019 20:10

We all need to just consider this our safe space so ask away and let it all out @Jonesbabynumber1 ❤️
