2 week wait

[Lily2020]

Hi 👋🏼 currently 4dpo, getting a bit lost on other threads so though would start a new one 😊
Feel free to join - AF due 9th May (will likely test way before that for no reason whatsoever!)

@babyG123 yes that's right unfortunately! But reading so many of the posts on here they seem to be the most reliable! So I don't know what to think 🤷🏻‍♀️ this cycle I've got one fr, a box of the cheap fermometer sticks & a cb digital when for when I'm sure it's positive

Hey guys, I’ve had such a weird day, just thought I’d share with you all as a bit of a sounding board!

I’m bone tired, mood swingy, constantly starving and feeling a bit bloated. Am I PMS or symptom-spotting? 😖 I wish it was easier to tell. I’d say it’s PMS but it’s a little early for that as I’m not due til Sunday and don’t often get it until a day or two before.

Hello to all the new people - love reading your stories, fingers crossed for you all xx

@Lily2020 sorry that happened to you! Think I'll try and wait!

@emiliet123 oh don't even get me started 🤣 not Particularly looking out for symptoms but I've been so moody (so I've been told 🤣) but like I've said this end I'm stuck home!!! and from 1dpo have felt sick so much so I thought I had a bug coming. Feeling much better since lunch today (4dpo) so if it was a bug ive hopefully passed without actually being sick.

@PlanBea FF is very basic but once you get used it to it's so simple and easy to read too.

13 DPO and still a negative test using First Response. I’m still optimistic I will see a BFP in the next week or so!!

Morning,

I'll join 12dpo (I think) from bbt chart and heart rate due af on sat/sun.

BFN this am not looking hopeful as heart rate dropped to normal now.

Fingers crossed for some BFP for you ladies

Morning all,

Sorry @MrsLBear I meant I felt feverish rather than my temp relating to ovulation etc. It was really high! My mcs were when we were trying for DS, I’ve not had an official cycle yet as I’m still bf DS overnight, although lots of symptoms to suggest things could be starting to get going again thank god.

I caved and tested this morning, not like me at all but I felt so odd, I just had to. Needless to say, bfn with a fr. Who knows whether I ovulated 2 weeks ago like I thought, possibly not. With no periods to go on it’s really hard to tell. I’m hopeful af is on her way so we can crack on with next cycle and I know for sure I’ve got some sort of fertility going on! I might test again in a week or 2 if I’m still waiting but I’m out for the time being!

@Lily2020 I’ve always used fr and had reliable results but recently I’ve read a lot about false positives! So I got panicky and bought some One Step as well.

@babybumpfor2020, welcome and I hope you get a bfp closer to af!

@RiverRoo, really hopeful you get a bfp too!

@emiliet123 and @babyG123, I’ve been mega symptom spotting but it’s done me no good at all, to the point where I was surprised when I got a bfn this morning 😂🙈 oh gosh!!

Oh I see sorry @emvy I misunderstood. You feeling under the weather? Must be frustrating not being able to pin point when O was.
Sorry about the bfn ladies 😞
I had the worst night sleep last night. I'm 8dpo today and I kept half waking up with the worst period pains ever. But it wasn't actually waking me up completely as I was so tired. It felt like I was coming on for sure which is unlike me as my lp is always 13 days. And now today I've got a slight pinching feeling on my right side. So odd. Has anyone ever experienced this?

I’m 6 DPO and it’s totally ridiculous that I did a test this morning... with a cheap supermarket test that only shows positive above 25mlU. Obviously negative... so I’ve ordered some more sensitive ones from amazon!! I’ll test again on Friday.

Good luck everyone xx

@MrsLBear I had pinching sensations when pregnant with my DS! Also cramping could be a sign too. Ah I’m feeling hopeful for you! How many DPO?

@Helena79, good luck for Friday! Hide those tests until then 😂

@emvy thanks lovely! I'm not reading into anything but was so weird. I was half dreaming I came on too. I'm 8dpo today and af is due next. The wait is killllling me.
How many DPO were you when you found out your were pg with your ds?

@MrsLBear I could have literally written what you just said. 5dpo. Cramps and pinching on my right side. Feels like I'm going to come on but AF not due for 9 days though.

Hi all,

I’m on the TWW too. I’m currently about 7 DPO although this is my first time tracking. I had a MMC at the start of the year, requiring two surgeries about 6 weeks apart due to missing some of the RPOC in the first one which kept my HCG levels high.

I had to wait for one AF (longest 5 weeks ever!) before I could try so this is now my first cycle.

I’m really impatient so the testing has begun. I did one Tesco test yesterday evening and got an extremely faint positive. Tried again later to confirm with a ClearBlue although probably was too diluted and got a negative. Tried with fmu today and was negative. Read that some people find it better to test later so tried that and negative again. I have FRER tests arriving tomorrow so fingers crossed.

I know it’s probably too early to test but I definitely pinned my hopes on the slight positive yesterday. I know it was likely a bad test or something (not evap line, for sure) but I feel like I’m definitely not because of the negative tests and I’m just worried about conceiving again as I’m panicking about Asherman’s Syndrome as my first AF was a lot shorter than usual.

I’ve also had lower abdomen pains since about 3/4 days before ovulation and don’t know what they mean.

Sorry for rambling but with everything going on, sometimes you just need to let it out.

@emvy i think it's a good idea to have a couple of brands if testing early as can so easily get your hopes up only to have them dashed 😕 fingers crossed for you though let us know when you test again!

@Helena79 I'm also 6dpo & also tested this morning 🙈 obvs bfn, why do we do it to ourselves!!

@User43210 let us know how you get on with your tests tomorrow! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

@MrsLBear that sounds like a good sign!! When will you test?

@Lily2020 I know it is a bit daft so early. I got my 3 BFPs with other pregnancies at 9/10 DPO...so I need to sit in my hands 😂 I’m finding it hard during lockdown, as there’s not much else to think about for long.

@emvy Agree about having a few brands...My first BFP was using same wee sample and I got a faint positive on a cheap paper test, then a negative on a CB no words test and then a positive on the CB words test. The CB words test is my favourite, so amazing to see the words “Pregnant”, but sadly too expensive to use regularly!!

I’m being impatient, as I’m currently interviewing for a much more senior role that I can’t do if I get a BFP... and I also want to decorate my little one’s current bedroom, which I won’t do if we’ve got another baby on the way.

@Helena79 ooh did you that's exciting 😊 look forward to an update when you're 9dpo!! Although my daughter was very much tried for I was very busy with work, social life & other stuff at the time & didn't test till I was 3 days late & got blazing positives & 3+ weeks on a digital test. This time round I feel like im clutching at straws testing way too early! Lockdown doesn't help with TTC!!

Hi all I hope you don't mind me joining your thread. Currently 7DPO.

@babyG123 I'm struck by your comment! 5DPO exactly the same symptoms. 5DPO too early for implantation? I don't know what it was. So I'm keen to share your journey with you. How have you felt since?

Best wishes ladies Xxx

@BelleDell I have no idea! I actually felt really sick 2dpo-4dpo so wondering if I've had a little bit of a bug.

But then it's me shutting my mind off of hope 🙈🤞🏼

Evening all,

@MrsLBear it definitely fits with your timings then, really hopeful for you! I don’t know how far along I was with DS because I fell following a mc and hadn’t had af in between. I dated the pregnancy using cb and it said 2-3 weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks @Helena79 and @Lily2020, I’ll see what One Step say next week. I’ve not felt very optimistic today though.

Hi @BelleDell, I think 5DPO is the earliest day implantation could happen so could work out!!

@Lily2020 I mean I never have any hope but thank you 😬 well I was going to wait until Monday which would be day before af is due but I don't know if I can. Will take it day by day.
When you next going to test?
So weird cos I didn't really have anything going on until last night then I've had cramps today and my boobs feel a tiny bit sore but more my nipples feel a bit tender. I do sometimes get sore boobs before af though so doesn't mean anything. And apparently progesterone peaks mid lp which can cause these things. Just want af to hurry up and come if it is.

@MrsLBear I know it's awful being in limbo!! 😣 I'm going to wait till Sunday now if I can stop myself, absolutely zero symptoms but like I said before I didn't with first baby so not counting myself out till af arrives!
Keep us posted if you do test earlier!🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Hey guys, I’m out this month - AF has arrived early with a vengeance! 😖 I can’t say I’m surprised, I just didn’t have any hope this month, not even a temptation to test. I think my body’s still figuring things out after losing Maya, but I guess it’s another month to try and get into a healthier place and at least I can celebrate my return to work tomorrow with a HUGE glass of wine! 😜

Fingers crossed for you all. Xx

@emiliet123 so sorry to hear that I know I'll be joining you in a week or so. I don't know why I got my hopes up for a miracle - it's that much harder when it doesn't happen.
Fingers crossed for you next month!

Sorry to hear af got you @emiliet123, hopefully this brings your BFP cycle!! How early is it?

Hi, would love to join. AF due 8th May, cycle 2 TTC for baby #1
