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 ✨🤰🤗❤

Hi all, can I join in? Currently ttc #2 I've started using opks and logging them on an app but I've never kept track of anything like this before... I'm only 2dpo and I'm already feeling a bit stressed about the wait!

@Bellaashley thank you. I'm so sorry you had to go through this, too. Here's to hope 🌈
(There's a support thread for women who are pregnant or TTC after TFMR in the 'antenatal Tests' section, you're welcome to join too)

Hi Everyone, I hope that I can join :) I came off of the pill (Microgynon) at the end of July this year and have just started AF after a 33 day cycle. This cycle will be the first ‘real’one I think as the last cycle was after my withdrawal bleed not my actual real period. I am wondering if this cycle will be the same length as my last one or not :/ I’m currently using natural cycles and I used OPKS last month so I think I will do this again this month 👌 My wedding has been re-scheduled from October this year to October next year so we are hoping to squeeze a baby in between then but we will have to see what happens! Not giving myself a very big window here 😂 I was a bit disappointed when AF appeared today because I thought I might be lucky and get pregnant straight away! Anyway let’s see what happens this month! Good luck everyone! xx

Welcome @Jessicatayla @RABO @Intrigued2020 👋 Hi ladies!
Best of luck to you all this month!

I feel so....odd today. One minute I swing between not really noticing any symptoms and thinking im out to suddenly feeling periody (which is odd for me) a whole week before Im due AF. The nausea & fatigue I had a few days ago seems to have stopped completely. Not sure what that could be as wouldnt have even implanted then 🤔 This TWW is not for the faint hearted, lol!

Thank you @chasingrainbow :D

Isn't the wait horrible!? I sometimes wonder if I'm imagining things, if I think about symptoms too much I start having them 🙈

Hopefully this month will be good news!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@RABO yup, that pretty much sums me up perfectly ☺😄 Best to keep busy!

Anyone planning to test tomorrow?

Hope everyone is keeping well, happy & calm this eve? 💞

@ChasingRainbow I've been having sort of the same and feeling period symptoms, I havent stopped eating today which is how I know AF is due but I usually eat sweet things and this time all I've eaten today is savoury and carbs 😭🤣
If AF doesnt show up tomorrow I may be tempted to test on Thursday. Ideally I wanna wait till friday tho

I'm 3DPO according to flo app and have had some mild pains lower right side of my belly. Could that be ovulation or possibly implantation? I don't normally get pains until AF has started

@babblebeee I had some cramps mid week last week which was strange and last night I have sharp shooting pains in my pelvic area which I never get. They were painful to the point of me having to vocally be like ouch. Fingers crossed

@Jessicatayla I'm only 3DPO though so feel like it's way to early to be baby related. Wondering if it's a sign of ovulation, I've never given it a second thought before. I'll soon find out I suppose!

I’m a bit behind you girls, first cycle TTC #2 had a positive OPK today cycle day 13 it’s earlier than Flo app is predicting...

@ChasingRainbow think I’ll test tomorrow. I’ll be 10 dpo. So far I’ve had a temp dip almost to cover line but bounced back up today and no spotting which I normally would Have by now. Af due on the 4/5th. Other than that, no symptoms. A bit crampy like af coming but I always spot first so I’m fully expecting that by tomorrow

@LT103 That sounds almost identical to me. Also same dpo 🙈
Iv gone back on my notes and I had a 24hr temp drop on Sunday and then straight back up. This wasnt basal temp though as was always after I got up. But there is a pattern, definately. Hoping this is positive.

Also so unusual for me NOT to have spotting by now, either preggo or not. During my ectopic back at end of May, they also removed a significant amount of endometriosis, so I wonder is this why no spotting now. Guess time will tell!

Keeping fingers crossed for you that the witch herself stays away! Do let us know how you get on.
Im sooo tempted to do it tmro morning will try hold off. Cant promise anything though!!

Good luck for the morning for your BFP!! Eeeek!👣 💗 X

@ChasingRainbow I know exactly what you mean about symptoms coming and going. Is it just my mind playing tricks on me?? I'm still trying to hold off testing until the weekend. My FRER's arrived today though and I keep staring at them. Will be 10DPO tomorrow 😬😬

I normally have about 3 days spotting before AF arrived so will be interested to see if that happens over the next few days - should be a good indicator either way!

Hello to all the new ladies 😊 fingers crossed this is a sticky baby thread ♥️

@DontFadeAway way to go you! If I had tests arrive today im sure would have been able to resist the temptation! Hubbie thankfully agreed to hide mine this time around. Its like peeing on €5/£5 each time 👀🤷‍♀️

Who else hits 10DPO tomorrow?
I think theres about four of us?
Feeling the need to want to test in the morning now 😬😬😬

Aaarrgggh! Babydust to everyone here ✨✨✨❤

@ChasingRainbow I’m 10dpo tomorrow too and really need to sit on my hands to stop myself using my last test tomorrow! My lack of any symptoms is making me hold out for a bit longer though!
Keeping everything crossed that there’s lots of positive tests just around the corner for everyone 🤞🏼

Super sore boobs. Really hoping I don’t wake up to spotting tomorrow!!! 🤞🤞🤞

Hi ladies.
I'm currently just starting the tww. I'm 31 and experienced a MMC at 9.5 weeks in July. We waited a cycle and have been baby dancing most days throughout my ovulation period! I use OPks to track. I think I about about 2dpo. I hope you all get your BFP. Sprinkling baby dust to you all.

@ChasingRainbow 10DPO today!! FRERs arrive today also 👀 I think I'm going to test tomorrow morning now! I'm too impatient 😂

Hope you're all ok ladies! X

Hi again, I'm thinking back to my first pregnancy that ended in miscarriage and I'm trying to think of any signs or symptoms I had in the tww. What are signs and symptoms you ladies have or know can occur?

I think mine was just excess cervical mucus.

@ashlee89 So sorry to hear about your miscarriage 💔

With my first pregnancy, I actually didn't find out until I was 7 weeks along (I have irregular cycles so I never tracked my periods!) By this point, I was always starving in the morning and my boobs had gone up a bra size - but I was so busy I'd hardly noticed 🤯

In saying that, I think I must of felt pretty normal (ish) during my early days as I don't remember anything being out of the ordinary.

But now I'm new to the whole 2WW, I look for symptoms daily! 😂

Sorry I haven't been much help! Maybe someone else can share their symptoms to help 🤞

@ashlee89 Actually, talking of irregular cycles. Since my TFMR, my cycles are much more regular.. They're particularly long cycles but I can at least gauge when things are happening now (maybe that's because I pay more attention than I did before, who knows!)

I feel ya! We weren't really trying the first time round. Just not being careful. So I wasn't at all aware of any changes. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention. However now I'm in the tww I'm really trying to get in touch with my body and be on the lookout for any symptoms. However I have also heard there's no point symptom spotting as your body doesn't cause any until there's a notable amount of HCG in the system that's enough for a pregnancy test to detect?
So much conflicting advice. Will be a long two weeks 😂. Good luck ladies.

@ashlee89 It's a minefield isn't it 🤣 I do think our minds play tricks on us.. Here's hoping it's positive for all of us this month 🤞

I tested 🙈 I'm pretty sure it's BFN but there could be the faintest of lines. AF due tomorrow so we'll see!
