2WW! Anyone else?

[DancingGiraffe]

Hi!

Is anyone else in their TWW? Currently 8DPO, I ovulated late this cycle on CD 17 (according to temps and OPK!).
Feel like I'm totally symtpom spotting this month - it's my first cycle after my MMC in June, so desperately hoping for our rainbow 🌈. Been using cheapies, all negative ofcourse 🙈. I have some FRER and trying to hold off until at least 11dpo as that's when I was + before....

Anyone else want to join the wait?

@Chicken123 @Rundle90 @AKcheer you all have such good willpower, I defos need some of that! Funnily enough I was totally symptom free after the MC! I know what you mean, was a relief to get her back, means you can start tracking things again. There's nothing worse when you don't know what's going on!

@Blessedbutstressed96 think you're about the same dpo as me, it's still early. I didn't get my + last time until 11dpo, and even at that it was faint! You're not out until she shows 🤞.

@DancingGiraffe I'm not sure about will power, I have an early test in the bathroom cupboard and keep taking it out and telling myself no 😂 it's a big battle to be good and try not to test. Hopefully for everyone AF doesn't come and we get our BFP!!

@Blessedbutstressed96 you ain’t out until AF comes!! Ride it out and test again nearer your AF due date. Hoping it turns positive for you!!

@Rundle90 Yeah I can imagine. It’s hard isn’t it - you want to test but it’s always a worry if it’s a BFN and then in your situation it’s hard because of your MC. Maybe try not to test early - but it’s easier said right!! Have you got much planned for the weekend to distract you?

@DancingGiraffe my first response tests came and I feel I don’t have willpower but going t to try until Sunday!!

I’ve had some lower back pain today which is always due to AF and had a bit of CM with a light brown tinge so I feel AF is on its way. Felt a bit sick but that might be because it’s so bloody hot today!!!

Soo ladies, did a FRER this morning and I have a line!! It's faint but no squinting required! Here's hoping it gets darker 🤞🤞.

I don't feel quite able to get excited yet...just starting now rethinking of all the things that couls go wrong! Keep telling myself to relax, what will be, will be and no amount of worry will stop that!

Is anyone else testing today 🙈? 🤞 hoping for more BFPs 🤞

@AKcheer yes I do have some plans dh is taking me to go collect a new toilet for our bathroom 😂 how romantic! I felt sick and headachy yesterday too! I had this last time I was pregnant but I had out it down to stress from arranging all of the last minute wedding things!

@DancingGiraffe omg omg omg that is 100% a line! So exciting! Congratulations! I am sure it will get darker hun, don't dwell on the negatives and the could be's as you'll stress yourself. It's difficult I agree, I'm a constant bundle of worry, after what happened last one I'm petrified that it may happen again but if we don't try we will never know and we will never get our babies.

Just keep being positive and happy, you have a positive test that's an amazing thing! Just focus on the happy 😁

@Rundle90 thanks, still in a bit of shock it happened so quickly!! Although I did read, and I'm sure the midwife mentioned before that most women are more fertile in the 6 months after a mc! So you never know! I have just had this niggly feeling since 6dpo, felt similiar to before! Mainly cramps and increased cm (sorry tmi 🙈).

Omg @DancingGiraffe that is such a good line!! Congratulations!!! Just relax and don’t think of anything negative!!! I’m so excited for you! I’m going to test tomorrow morning but not feeling hopeful as my PMS signs are here :(

@Rundle90 oh how exciting! It beats what I’m doing today which is going to the gym haha! Oh really fingers crossed for us!

Morning guys just did a FRER and it was the clearest BFN :( so sad. Feeling really down and blue about this. This was our 2nd month TTC and it hasn’t - most people I know conceive so quickly within the first month. Starting to think there’s something wrong and don’t know what to do :(

@AKcheer don't stress yet, remember you're not out until she comes! How many dpo are you? It can take some time without there being wrong with you, I'm sure I read somewhere (somewhere legit) there's a 30% chance of conception each month, even with doing everything perfectly! Try not to worry, it will happen! When is you're af due? Any other symptoms?

@DancingGiraffe I know but it’s hard not to! 11dpo today that’s why I thought I’d it shows it will show today on a FRER. Oh really? I just can’t help but worry and feel down. Just want this so bad!!
AF Is due on Thurs 6th Aug. My symptoms have been very similar to PMS sore boobs but not to the point I feel uncomfortable with them, feeling tired cramps and lower back pain. I’ve felt a bit nausea too.

Hello I’m new here. Lovely to see some BFPs and hope those with BFNs get that line soon.

I tested yesterday (cd27) and have a 28-30 day cycle. So think I’m out but still have some hope although have backache and general premenstrual symptoms. Wahhh

@AKcheer you could have implanted late? Do you usually cramp so early before af? That's the first thing I noticed, it was like weird pressure/tingly cramps really low down! There's still hope! Your still 4 days before pms and I can't remember the exact number but if you check the frer leaflet the accuracy % still isn't that high, only 99.9% on the day of or after missed af I think! Sending positive vibes and baby dust your way!! 🌟🌟

@Jigglypuff88 welcome! Do you know when you ovulated? Always helps as you can sometimes ovulate/implant late which is why I reckon people get late bfp! (But I'm obviously no expert lol!)

@DancingGiraffe no idea when i ovulated. I just track fertile window really. So we shall see!

Morning everyone! I'm new on here so just wanted to say congrats to those with bfps and fingers crossed for those with bfn that it will happen soon. I have been trying since Nov 2019. I was diagnosed with PCOS in April this year and ever since have been on a mission to balance my hormones to better my chances. I finally ovulated this month on cd 12 and have had symptoms such as sore breast and nipples, cm and the odd dull cramps. Yesterday on 12dpo I had dark brown spotting which looked watery/mucus (tmi sorry) and only when I wiped for a few hrs. Af is due this Tues so hoping that this month is the one. For those who are feeling frustrated at this point- I totally get that it is so difficult and draining. It's great to have a space to share with others on here xx

@DancingGiraffe yeah I think so usually cramp before AF. These cramps have been more intense though but it just feels like my period is coming!! So sad :( but I can’t let it ruin my anniversary!

Hey @Jigglypuff88 how are you?? How long you been TTC for? Awww I feel you I got this back ache and pms too :(

@AKcheer not long, this will be my second baby hopefully. What about you?

6 DPO here.

@AKcheer aww I have everything crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞🤞 definitely not!! Enjoy and relax xxx

@Feedyourzen fingers crossed! Nobody ever tells us that ttc can be a real rollercoaster, do they?? FX this is your month!

@FluffyKittensinabasket hiya! How long have you been ttc? Have you got any symptoms yet?

Awww thank you @DancingGiraffe! At least I went out tonight and had a few drinks!! Will see what happens on Weds when AF is due no point testing for me yet!! How are you feeling?

@DancingGiraffe I know! I spend so many years worried on the pill that I will get pregnant and finally when I am ready I realise what a small window there is! I have a couple of FRER that should deliver today so will test tomorrow morning! How are you feeling?

@AKcheer @Jigglypuff88 @FluffyKittensinabasket fingers crossed xx
I don't know about you but it has felt like the longest two weeks!!

@AKcheer 🤞 for you then! Not long to wait now! Glad you managed to have a nice night and some wine too . Still a bit weird and not very real yet! Line today is slightly darker than 2 days ago so will test again in a few days to see if it's darker again! Still feeling weird tingly/pressure cramps and I've had this wave of immense exhaustion the past 2 days so guess that's my hormones going wild!!

@Feedyourzen oooo exciting!! Do you have any other symptoms (I'm the worst for symptom spotting 🤣)? Did anytbing come of your spotting? Could have been implantation! Still feeling tingly and crampy and so so tired now! Praying my lines get darker and wee bean will stick this time 🤞.

I’ve been TTC for 7 months . Now 7 DPO. My tummy has been feeling a bit funny, not painful just a bit uncomfortable? But I’m trying not to symptom spot. In the first month of TTC, I had really sore boobs. BFN and then got my period the week after. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@FluffyKittensinabasket oooh hopeful, that's how I felt - weird feelings! I also felt like af was going to come any time, odd sensation. Mother nature can be cruel! I also think we are just soooo much more in tune with our bodies while ttc, we feel every change, dh thinks I'm making it up sometimes haha 🤣

DancingGiraffe - I hope so! I don’t want to get too hopeful and then another BFN.

@FluffyKittensinabasket very true! Best of luck 🤞
