SEPT 2020 BPF testing/ two week wait Gals 🤞🤞

[ChasingRainbow]

Hi girls,
Im currently in the tww and wondering if anyone is too and wants to share their journey. Im currently 8DPO and am doing my best to NOT poas though its so hard! Im literally an addict...but so far so good. Im determined this time to not test before 12DPO!
Bit about me: im 37, Have been ttc for just over a year now and in that time sadly had a MMC x 2 and more recently an ectopic requiring tube removal. So afraid that I wont be able to concieve on the side of my existing tube but ya gota have hope, right?! Hoping for a rainbow baby on this our fourth attempt.

Symptoms so far:
-Bigger boobs but not sore (yet)

• loads of rumblings going on low down
• sleepy after food
• weight loss ( though im on the large side so no harm there!)
• odd lower back pain
• VERY emotional (poor hubbie!)

Would love to chat to ladies in a similar boat to symptom share and have a laugh with in this horrible tww fiasco! Fingers crossed for baby dust for all hoping for their BFP ✨🤰🤗❤

Morning girls!

How are we all today?

@Chlo2701 Just on the subject of the vitamins we are taking, I'm going to continue taking DHA & Folic Acid, but are you continuing with COQ10?

Thanks

Well I woke up at 4am went to the toilet and got a pinkish blood when I wiped so I'm pretty sure AF is here, put a pad on and went back to bed. Just woke up and went to the toilet, brownish spotting when I wiped and a clean pad.
I wish I could look inside my body and just know what's going on.
Pretty sure AF will be here full force in a couple of days but will keep you posted

So still no sign of AF for me which is very unusual. Still a negative test too. 😐 Nipples still feel tender but that's it. Still getting to grips with mt BBT so no idea if it's normal or raised either!

Congratulations to everyone with the BFPs and figers crossed for everyone else to get theirs soon! I'm genuinely excited to see how everyone's getting on

I'm still only 7dpo and fighting the urge to test!

Does anyone else get a tiny twinge, that could literally just be gas, and end up googling until you find someone with a similar experience where they got a BFP? 😂🙈

Im also on my tww! First time trying to conceive.
I have one of the Clear Blue tests which can be used up to six days before I’m due on. So obviously I had to test at the first opportunity. The positive line is incredibly faint. Can I have your opinion on whether a line this faint can be considered positive? I’ll check again in a couple of days but would love to know now! I can't post a picture yet as I'm new to the forum!
Loving your posts and comments

Morning ladies, I woke up 7 times in the night to pee! I also think subconsciously I kept checking to see if AF had arrived.

I've got bumps all around my nipples today which I read is a good sign but trying so hard not to get my hopes up! I'm going to do my 2nd test tomorrow.

How's everyone else doing?

@Yas1993 can you post a photo?

Thank you!! Xxx

@Yas1993 That's definitely a positive!! 😍😍 I would definitely go and get a FRER today to confirm.. how exciting!

@Jessicatayla Could it be implantation bleeding, how many DPO are you? I hope AF stays away for you 💓

@RABO I definitely had twitches leading up to my BFP, they've settled not but I would agree that they feel a lot like gas! 😂

@ClaraGill Oh that seems promising! It can take a little bit for tests to pick up pregnancy hormones so keep thinking positive (literally!)🤞 Do you know how many DPO you are?

@Bellaashley i THINK I ovulated either 21st/22nd (day 11 or 12) my ovulation test had a very faint line on the 22nd after my dip in temp and then when I tested later that day it was negative again. All so confusing 😂 I'm struggling to get my head around it all!

@Jadeb1995 I know! As if sleeping wasn't hard enough at the moment, my bladder must be the size of a pea the amount of time I'm up 😂

Excited to see your second test!

I'm definitely feeling a lot better which is great, but I almost want to feel something (even if it's unpleasant!) to reassure me... is that weird?!

Also.. does anyone know when they would contact their midwife? It's so early so I was wondering whether to hold off or just call and tell them? Any advice welcome.. sorry if it sounds naive!! I was 7 weeks when I found out last time so there was no hanging around! I'm a newbie at this early stuff.. Thanks in advance! X

@Yas1993 I agree with @Bellaashley that's a positive just early positive.

I would go and get a FRER

@Bellaashley I'm going to carry on taking 2 x DHA a day, 1x a day Folic acid, Vit D & Vit C.
& with the Coq10 I was taking 3 tablets a day with them. But think I'm just going to take 1 a day of them now. I can remember reading months ago that they think by taking one a day it can decrease your chances of miscarriage 🤷‍♀️ & im willing to try that because for some reason I'm scared shitless that I will miscarry. It's not helping that I don't even feel pregnant either🥴 do you even feel pregnant yet? X

Hi ladies, very late to the party, but can I join? I’m in 2ww , just 4 dpo. Cycle 1 of trying for baby no. 2 🤞🏻. Good luck to everyone!!!

@Bellaashley idk, I didnt track ovulation, Af was officially due 2nd sept but didnt show, we dtd on 29th august which was last saturday but idk if its possibly to ovulate that late into a cycle 🤔

@Chlo2701 well I shall carry on taking COQ10 then ☺️ also added in VitD too as you have.

No not really... A few flutters/cramps here and there but they've definitely settled now which puts me on edge!

I suppose the only thing I have now is being starving when I wake up.. (I can usually not eat until lunch/afternoon & feel fine!)

I think when I speak to my midwife & get the appointments booked in it will feel a bit more real 😍

@Jessicatayla Hmmm sounds promising if AF hasn't arrived yet.. Hopefully in the next couple of days you can test again & have some answers 🤞

How are you @ChasingRainbow ? 💓

Still no AF @Bellaashley!
You are so kind to check in lovely ❤
Decided not to test today at 14DPO, going to wait until tomorrow when Im officially late.
Beginning to wonder if implanted late at 11/12 dpo. Had horrendouslower back cramping followed by (TMI ALERT)1.5days of wiping light brown spotting..Was so sure AF was in town I put on a pad - but nothing. No cramping and no spotting at all yesterday or this morning. And now bbs feel odd.
This is so unlike me.
We shall see what happens!

How are you @Bellaashley? X

Congratulations @Yas1993, that looks like an early BFP to me! Could you test with a frer tomorrow morn? Delighted another BFP on this thread!

Welcome & hi @Bizawit 👋 The more the merrier! Best of luck for this cycle

@Jessicatayla im im sort of the same boat as you, its so annoying!

Hope all the rest of you lovely ladies are having a nice chilled Sun morn! Congratulations to those with their BFPs & high hopes for those who are in the tww. Keep those lovely BFPs coming ladies!
Babydust ✨ ❤

I did an IC today at 10dpo, clear negative. Not sure why I did really.
I have had some (what I thought were) symptoms but now not sure if I’m just driving myself mad.
Going to wait for a bit longer and step away from the test strips!

@ChasingRainbow well we have you to thank for starting this lovely thread 💓

Well this looks like hopefully good news!! I REALLY hope this was implantation for you 🤞 If so, that would explain why test were not showing very well.

I'm really good thank you! It still feels a bit surreal, and obviously no-one other than my partner knows so everything's normal!

I've made the difficult decision not to tell anyone (other than you lovely girls!) until we've had our scan and all clear from the blood tests... As much as I want to tell my parents & my partners mum, I just know they'll worry after our experience with first pregnancy & I can't deal with that... It sounds odd but I worry if they worry, does that make sense?!

So I've decided it's best to keep it to us & when we have our all clear then I'm going to arrange something special for them all (haven't decided what yet!) X

What ever hope you'd have of seeing something on a frer at 10DPO, an IC defo wont be up for the job (well, the ones Iv used anyhow!)
Always good to step away from the pee sticks for a while. Time seems to go faster when you do!
Best of luck @mouldygrapes x

@Bellaashley such wonderful news from you! I completely understand where you are coming from on keeping it quiet for now. And its sort of lovely to have a little secret that only you & OH know (and all us on here lol!!). In my experience, with the first we told both of ours way too early but they did worry, so I think you are doing the right thing keeping a special wee secret for now!
Also, thats where the value of these groups really come into their own during those few few weeks!
So delighted for your rainbow baby xx🌈❤

Thanks @ChasingRainbow. ICs are all I have in, cos they came with the LH strips I use.
If I’m late (due on Friday) I’ll get a proper test.

🤞🏼For you, all sounding tentatively hopeful. Keep us posted

@Bellaashley I’m sure it’s so hard to keep 🤐 when you want to share the good news, but it sounds like you’ve made the right decision. Hope the time passes quickly until you get your scan

@Bellaashley that seems like a good idea about holding off telling your parents etc, you'll know when the right time is 😘 I work with my mum 4 days a week so I think I'm going to have to tell her before my first scan as she'll definitely know what's up!

Have you thought about phoning midwife? I'm not sure when to do so! I'm really scared as I've got a high BMI so I know I'm going to get a lecture!! Was thinking of phoning just after 5 weeks perhaps...

@ChasingRainbow I've been thinking about you! I've got everything crossed that AF doesn't arrive for you. Again, thank you so much for starting this thread. Invaluable advice and support from such wonderful ladies ♥️
