Two Week Wait Buddies

[LAgeDeRaisin]

Hello team! Join the 2WW train!

4 DPO and already feeling stressed and irritable about it. Shifts til Thurs to keep me busy but what then? It just seems like forever. Will 100% be caving and testing later in the week because I have zero self control.

Who's with me?!

@Liland I know it is so hard, every month and worse without the normal life distractions as we are in lockdown.

I find the random symptoms and the testing so unsettling when I just want certainty past a certain point. I just want to know where I am! If this is not my month, honestly please can AF get on with it

@Liland I'm in exactly the same boat, also 11dpo, also DTD loads at the right time. BFN on FRER yesterday, AF due around Saturday. Also had lots of cramps 7dpo, so much so that I had to have a hot bath and some paracetamol, so really thought it was implantation. But I can feel AF brewing, wouldn't be surprised if it turns up tomorrow.
Gutted 😞

@Magnum99 cramping pains can be a good sign though! The time I did get pregnant I was in shock as I was 100% convinced AF was coming. It’s not over yet...

@Sparrowfeeder I know, I didn't realise I was pregnant with my son until I was 7 weeks as 1) I didn't think we'd DTD at the right time in the month so thought was impossible 2) I was getting spotting and aches and cramps so was convinced AF was coming.
It was only when I saw my nurse about something else and she asked when my last period was she was like " let's do a test". I felt such an idiot sat there saying I'd been TTC, not had a period for 7 weeks but I couldn't be pregnant 🤣

I just think I probably would have got a faint BFP yesterday if I am pregnant. I suppose could be late implantation, but I just don't feel pregnant.

Last night I drowned my sorrows with a Chinese take away, wine and chocolate.

@Sparrowfeeder @Magnum99 I guess it still could happen. I think i was 12dpo when I found out with my ds? It's just so disheartening. I feel like I've waited so long to start trying again at my DP's preference, and I just want it to be now!

Im 12dpo same as everyone else. Twinges and feeling sick but negative on my cheap preg test this morning. Af due any day up until next Thursday. This is my first cycle since my TFMR in December so not sure when to expect it. Very teary this week, can't help thinking this week I would have been having my 20 week scan and finding out the gender. Currently out in the fresh air trying to clear my mind about it all

So, bloods came back, its a BFN. Yhat was We're now discussing if another IVF round is financially viable 😔

Good luck and baby dust to you all. Xxx

So sorry @Mom1of2
It's a horrible rollercoaster of emotions. Yesterday even though I'd had my blood checked and knew I wasn't pregnant I felt so sick and convinced myself I maybe still could be pregnant. I'm deffo not im just going crazy.

It is a horrible rollercoaster. It amazes me how much women go through (not all I know). I wish I could spread hope to you all but I am lacking it myself right now

@Liland I am having a weird 2ww because I had a ridiculously early bfp at 7dpo (!) (see pic - it was pink so not evap) that disappeared at 8dpo, fine I can deal, that’s a chemical etc. Testing negative ever since, sad but fine. But then my symptoms are not going, which they really should do. I am weepy and the nausea is increasing so I ate only plain rice for lunch and I threw up my dinner. Food poisoning not likely. Just at a loss to understand what is happening ‘tis all.

@Sparrowfeeder is it worth contacting your GP to rule out ectopic? I don't know much about them admittedly.

Thanks @liland I think I will if AF doesn’t arrive and still testing negative.

But @Sparrowfeeder there is a line on your test?!

@Curlymam88 thank you 😊 fingers crossed for you for the weekend! I'm really tempted to book for ours 6th week, likely 6+6 as that's DH birthday. His idea.. I just hope it's all okay and we have a great day! I asked the clinic and they seemed confident that if dates are right that 6 weeks would see with an internal scan. I know it won't look much on screen but there isn't too much diff between scans I've looked at online for 6/7/8 weeks really.. seems to be a big change around 10-12 but I'd have the NHS one then.

I've continued to have light cramps and dizziness.. boobs still bigger than normal but not sore. No sickness at all. Was really worried today about the cramps, they are exactly the same as other days but felt wet a few times (Lol tmi) and panicked running to the loo.. but all seems ok. Wonder when the worry will stop.. need to trust that it's going to be fine this time 🤞🏼

How's everyone's symptoms?

@Mom1of2 so sorry you've not had good news today. Hope you and your partner are okay xxx

@Horehound

But *@Sparrowfeeder* there is a line on your test?!

@Horehound this bfp was at 7dpo, I am now 14dpo and been testing negative ever since 8dpo. I would normally move on and accept it as a chemical but for the symptoms (nausea, cramps, weepiness) that are not usual pms signs for me and seem to be increasing I could just be going loopy ofc

@Mom1of2 sorry for your bad news. The bfns really do suck

@Mom1of2 so sorry to hear the sad news, I know a few people who have been through IVF and I know how much it takes out of you.

My lovely app sent me a notification this morning saying "your period is on its way". Yeh thanks for that! 😩

Am I right in thinking cervix is usually firm before AF and soft if you're pregnant?
Mine is pretty soft, well it's kind of firm in the middle but soft and squidgy around the outside. Sorry TMI I know, but where else can I talk about this? 😂
I've got another FRER but I don't dare test again after the disappointment I felt last time, I'd rather just wait and see if AF arrives.

AF is here today! I am actually relieved because I know where I am, the nausea has lifted and I feel less ‘hormonal’. CD1, new hope goes into my eggs for my next fertile window! I have a ferti lilly cup to try this time

Baby dust to those of you still waiting and testing

I love cervix checking! Mine is high and soft at 10dpo, but don't know how long before AF it's meant to change. I can't seem to find much info from others though

13 DPO and this morning I've done another FRER and I'm not sure if there's a faint line, I think I can see something but DH doesn't. However, he couldn't see the line previously and now she's 8! So not sure I trust his eyes.
I would post a pic but I can't pick the line up in a picture, it's so faint and you have to squint and hold it at a certain angle.
Do you just think I'm just seeing things? Like DH said - if I was pregnant the line would probably be stronger 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel nauseous, sore full boobs, cervix is high and soft. But then again if those sympathetic were caused by pregnancy hormones there should be enough hormone for a FRER test to pick it up properly.

Maybe I just want it so bad I'm seeing lines which aren't there.

*symptoms

I've took the test apart and been able to get a better pic.
Can anyone see a line? Please be honest, I can handle it I promise.

Eeeek I think I can see a really faint line to the left? I didn't have to zoom either 🤞🏼

@Magnum99 yes, I can see a faint line. Does it have any colour? I would test again after a day or 48 hours and see how it looks. Might be...

@Sparrowfeeder it's hard to see if there's any colour as it's soooo faint, it's barely even visible.

But I do feel pregnant, AF was due today but I don't feel like it's about to start, cervix is soft (apparently should be firm before AF), I usually get quite a bit of discharge before AF but there's virtually nothing.

I feel nauseous, sore boobs and nipples.

I'm doing a CB early test in the morning, the lines are thicker on them so hoping I get a more prominent line.

12dpo and negative test, fully believe if I was pregnant it would show up today. Only a couple more days to wait to AF. I'm so sad but ready to try again next month. Good luck for your BFP ❤️
