Two week wait - going crazy

[AnaTTC2020]

I stupidly started testing WAYYY too early, at 6dpo, I’m now 8dpo, getting all negatives but having what I feel like are pregnancy symptoms. It’s my first month TTC so I don’t really know what I’m doing. When did everyone get their BFP’s? Please join the thread if you want to chat about the 2 week wait and symptoms

Aww @Char1803 that's so nice. Everyone is so lovely on this thread. 🥰

How you getting on today @Wils85 ?? I'm still keeping all bits n pieces crossed for you.

I've had a fairly ok ic this morning. But the cramps aren't shifting and I've just a bad feeling. But once af date has been and gone I'll contact doc for bloods (she's pretty chill and knows about my anxiety etc)

Hope everyone is ok? Much love xxx

Morning ladies ❤️

@3scompany I'm ok, just going to try and take one day at a time until AF arrives or doesn't. Feel a bit nauseous today but I don't know whether it's just my anxiety because it's through the roof these days. Trying to decide whether to speak to DH about having a month or two off. But as I've said before I'm scared as I know my head will be thinking "what if" and tbf we will probably end up trying anyway. Let's face it, in lockdown what else is there to do? 😂🙈🤦🏻‍♀️. Sorry you've still got your gut feeling 😔 they can be so hard to shake, but don't always ring true. I'm keeping everything crossed for you chick. When is AF due? Thank you for checking in lovely. This is such a lovely thread to be a part of.

Have a good day ladies, I have a couple of 2 hour Teams meetings to look forward to....said no one ever!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Xxx

@Wils85 I know what you mean about having a couple of months off. We did that May-sept. Because it was all too much (and heartbreaking). Be kind to yourself ❤️ it's such an emotional and anxious time. Maybe if you just talked to DH about all the feelings, just sounding them out may help? I feel a bit better emotionally today after having a meltdown yesterday at DH. Nothing was "resolved" and I'm still anxious but knowing he knows how anxious I am helps me some how.

AF is due on Thursday. Had a positive today on a 25miu. So really hoping that it's a keeper. I just wish the cramping would stop (or if it's not to be, that it would just hurry up and be done)

Sorry! What a ramble!

Hope everyone is ok. Xxx

Thank you @3scompanybi and a bit of a chat with him over the weekend and I think he gets it a bit more. It's just hard as my mood is low and I feel guilty that he has to put up with me 😔

Another positive today is good progress. I'm sure you have a sticky bean. Though I absolutely know what you mean when you say if it's over just let it be over. That how I feel now waiting for AF, just come already so that little bit in my that still hopes can settle down for another month. Last month I felt instantly better when AF arrived because the hope was taken away and it's the hope after a -ive test that causes my anxiety I think. I know that sounds ridiculous, being relieved when AF arrives, I would be (obviously) equally relieved to see a +ive, it's just to have an answer one way or the other for me.

I feel quite periody this eve 😔 not cramps or anything just periody, the only way I can describe it. Will see what the next few days brings.

And defo not a ramble, and even if it was, no need to apologise. I've rambled plenty! 😂 Xxx

I get the guilt @Wils85 😔 but it really is such a huge rollercoaster. And I do think it's harder when it's our bodies doing all the twinging and niggling 😢

I'm sure DH will look after you if this isn't the month. Although I'm still quietly hoping for you 🥰 if I wasn't ttc, I'd not even suspect pregnancy as I'm so periody (btw; I get what you mean about that!) chill out this eve lovely. 🥰 xxx

Morning ladies ❤️

Another BFN for me this morning and I feel mega periody. I know im not out til AF arrives but I know it's not meant to be this month and I'm gutted. My body has been so cruel

Going to have a chat with DH about maybe having a break as I'm massively struggling with it all 😪 I keep trying to be strong but I'm faltering.

Good luck to all you lovely ladies who got your BFPs this month, I'm over the moon for you all, it's the best feeling. Enjoy your journey. Hopefully, at some point, I will get to travel that journey again but all the way to the end.

I may see some of you other ladies still riding the TTC rollercoaster on here in the next few months. Good luck in the meantime 🍀

Take care of yourselves in this crazy world, thank you for your support this last week @3scompany and the rest of you ladies, couldn't have done it without you 😘 xxx

@Wils85 stay strong this month lovely. It will happen for you I’m sure of it. A break might be a good move just to rest your heart. Love to you 😘

Bless you @Wils85 😔 I'm genuinely gutted for you. Sorry for delayed reply I've had an awful tummy bug (I work with a primary school....!)

Here's to next month for you. I shall be looking out and keeping everything crossed for you my lovely xxxx

I think I might be out :( had a bit of spotting yesterday morning and nothing since but feeling really tired and crampy

Can I ask for advice for any of you who chart your bbt. I started this month for the first time,but I dont seem to be understanding it and just don't know if my chart even makes sense

So its a few days since I last posted. Is there something wrong? My temp is still up but not as high as yesterday's. Have I ovulated?

Hi @Mummy2girlz sorry you haven't had a response, unfortunately I don't temp so I'm afraid I can't assist. I tried but I always forget to take my temp before I get out of bed 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

So again its been a few days and I'm still trying to make sense today my bbt dropped 0.9 degree and I read its meant to stay up if your pregnant. I did have a smear yesterday and spotted a bit. Has it done something wrong:(

@Mummy2girlz I'm so sorry it's so confusing for you, I really wish I could help out offer any advice, but I have really now idea about temping, other than what you say about I staying up if you're pregnant. Have you Googled? There must be a reputable website that can offer you some advice xx

Afternoon ladies!

Sorry I haven't posted on here since my positive. I hope you're all keeping okay, I've have had a quick scan through the messages and really feel for you @Wils85.

This whole TTC thing can be a real rollercoaster and have such a negative effect on your wellbeing. I think a month or two of just going with the flow, not tracking, testing or looking for signs will definitely do you the world of good and who knows, maybe taking the stress off will lead to beautiful things. Harder said then done I know but even just giving it a little go will help you tons!

Much love to you all x

Anyone using the clear blue connect? I am using it for the first time this month. I got a high fertility days twice now starting 11th day of my cycle. I have been trying for a number of months - with no success. Hoping so much this time :) how many times should me abs the hubby been doing the deed to give me the best chances plus does anyone have any tips ! X

@JenC95 thanks lovely. It's tough but I'm much calmer this month. Obviously we haven't been trying properly but we've still being DTD so you never know 🤞 just closing in on the TWW so that will be the real test of how calm I am being! Going to keep as busy as possibly. A pregnancy this month would be a lovely early Christmas present, next month would be a birthday present as my period is due on my birthday (it's therefore either going to be a reeeeeeeally good day or mega shite!)

Hope you're doing ok, not too hit by too many symptoms and the little bean is growing well xxx

@amc2018 welcome! Google the Sperm Meets Egg Plan that will give you the best idea. There is no right or wrong really, just try and do it at least every other day through out the month, more often during you fertile period if you're up for it (it gets bloody knackering and regimented if you do it every day! Take it from someone who knows!) Good luck my lovely. Sending you lots of baby dust xx
