Anyone else currently on the two week wait ?

[FinnsMammy]

This is my first two week wait and it’s driving me bonkers. I’m currently trying for baby#2 and I’m 7 DPO. I’m going to test with a First response in about 3 days but the days are going soooo long. With my last baby I wasn’t tracking it was our first try but I had just come off the pill and hadn’t even got a period yet so wasn’t expecting much but I knew I was pregnant when (I estimate it was about 7DPO )I got a lot of CM and food aversions I just knew then and about 4 days later I got my BFP.... this month I have symptoms but similar to PMS. Anyone else currently in limbo ? 🙈🤞🏻

Hi @FinnsMammy - yes I’m in limbo too! I think I’m currently about 7 dpo but haven’t been able to pinpoint ovulation exactly this month (peak fertility on the Friday evening but no temp rise til Tuesday, so could have been anywhere in between) so not really sure when to test. Hoping to last until at least Wednesday but we’ll see!

Interesting to hear that you had fairly clear cut symptoms last time. My mum said the same - she just knew when it had happened. No symptoms at all for me so far, and is it’s #1 for us I’ve got nothing to compare it to!

Two week wait is horrid isn’t it?! I’m back at work this time so at least something to distract me but last month was awful. How are you distracting yourself?

Yes!! Period due Wednesday but I'm trying not to test as I just can't face any more disappointment. I can't bare to see another negative. I had a chemical last July and nothing since and I'm 41 so try not to get my hopes up anymore but I can't help it! I don't have any tests in the house so that is helping hold me back from testing too. There's no point. I'll just be too sad.

My period is due Thursday and I definitely feel different this month. I am so in love with my husband and DD at the moment I just sit and stare at them which is not my typical PMS symptom. I have also had a dodgy belly and baby brain moments.
I actually could do without being pregnant this month as I am supposed to be waiting for an operation before conceiving so I guess at least if I get AF I won't be totally devastated. Well I will but I will be able to look for the silver linings.

Not sure about dpo as I use the Ava bracelet whilst breastfeeding all night and I don't think it gets my temperatures correct.

Baby dust to you all girls ! @Soexciting that’s so weird that you say that as yesterday I felt so in love with my 18month old son and I remember wondering if this was a symptom!@ottie27 I’m also working lol but it’s the weekend that’s the killer I think if I’m not pregnant this month then I’m going to try and not track next month it’s too much lol. Glad we are all in the same boat.@ClaraBean my friend had her first at 42 and is currently pregnant with her second at 44 so don’t worry you’ve got this ! 😍

Update: So this morning I had a shower and noticed stretch marks after my shower for the first time ever !! I know they must of been from my previous pregnancy but I have never noticed them before at all in fact I thought I had got away without any but they were were very prominent today after my shower and have now faded back again but are still noticeable🙈 I’m wondering if this is a symptom ? Literally happened overnight. Very strange !!

@Soexciting I forgot to mention I also give my son a night feed so yes I’ve been feeling my boobs are a bit tense etc but it’s too hard to say that’s a symptom when I’m still breastfeeding a teething toddler lol 😂

I’m also on the tww, roughly 8 or 9dpo and ttc #2. I’ve no symptoms apart from some light spotting which I always get in the run up to af although not usually this early. I’m so fed up of symptom spotting as I always manage to convince myself that everything means something and then feel so crushed when af arrives. It’s so hard isn’t it? This is our 7th cycle of ttc and so frustrating when first baby happened literally after dtd once! 🙈 Trying to count my blessings as I know we are so much more fortunate than a lot of people on these boards but I’m desperate to give my son a sibling. If it helps @ottie27 I had no symptoms at all when expecting ds1- no clue at all until missed period. I did have my usual spotting beforehand too which continued for most of my first trimester. X

Hi hoping to join! I’m ttc #1 and also 7dpo. Sore boobs but always get this when af is due! No cramps yet which I’d normally have at this time before af. Tww is torturous!

So trying not to pin my hopes on this month but it’s really hard not to isn’t it? I’m on cycle #3 of trying and wish I could chill out 😂

Hey girls,

Do you mind if I join in?

I'm currently 7dpo on our 4th cycle. It's torture isn't it 🙈

I have cramps I don't usually get this early on before AF and sore shooting pains in boobs but trying(!!!) to not think too much into it

The old ‘just relax and it will happen’ must be the most overused and infuriating phrase I’ve ever heard! If someone could actually tell me how the hell to do that when the months are ticking by and af is turning up like a bad penny every month, then please do!! 😫

Im also at 7dpo. Lots of cramps I'm my pelvic area, dull and shooting. Don't usually get this many in the lead up to af, it's only one side too but af pain always seems more central. I've felt emotional the last few days especially on Friday and feel a little under the weather. I had lots of really pale yellowy cm for a few days after ovulation time and tender boobs. I think I'll wait for af before testing as Im not sure if I'm 32 or 35 day cycle. (Based on opk I'd say 35?) Good luck everyone! X

Hi girls, I'm 7dpo- cycle 3 TTC #1. AF due 30 March. Last month I had loads of symptoms and was utterly convinced I was on my way to a BFP. This month absolutely nothing so far - not sure if that's good or bad!

@Amyc94 funny you say this I had a shooting pain in my left boob last night too who knows this could be a symptom 🤞🏻🤞🏻Yes girls keep us posted on how everyone is doing I’m glad I’m not the only one in this it’s all I think about lol it’s hard to talk to anyone else about it as I don’t want to be getting my hubbies hopes up lol. I’m fortunate enough to be in the first cycle of trying so baby dust to all you girls you have been trying for a while I don’t know how many more months I cud be analysing my every symptom it’s definitely torturous!!!!

Yes I love these threads!! Saves me pecking my husband’s head 😂😂 funny how many of us are 7dpo if we all had good news we could have such similar due dates!

Keeping everything crossed for you all! When are you going to test? I’m trying to hold off as long as possible!

Xxx

Hi @MrsGee20 - I held out until day before AF last month to test and it was torture and I felt so disappointed when I got a bfn. This month I've stocked up on ICs and I'll start testing at 9dpo. I feel like I won't be as disappointed if I start early because I'll be expecting a bfn.

@MrsGee20 exactly we would all be due early December early Christmas presents.😍🤞🏻I have one first response test and a few others that aren’t as sensitive ,the first response calculator on their website says I can test from Wednesday earliest which will be 10/11 DPO but I think I might wait a day or 2 ... my period is due the 28th so it’s not long after.. altho every day feels like a week during this tww I can’t believe I’m only halfway 🙈

I already feel like this will be a lucky thread. I was in a march 2019 one when I conceived my daughter. The nice thing about lovely threads is you can still be happy for people even if it's not your month. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Think I’ll hold off until AF. Somehow feel better getting that instead of a BFN although both are becoming increasingly devastating. Would love an early Christmas baby, fingers crossed for BFPs all round x

I am 🙋‍♀️ I'm 3 DPO and will be testing next Sunday at 10 DPO! This is my 3rd cycle, TTC #1 but first cycle using opk's so feeling a little more hopeful this month! I sat and googled every little thing last month during the TWW and drove myself insane, I told myself I wouldn't be the same this month so we'll see how long that lasts 😂

@Soexciting I like your thinking I feel like this might be a lucky post too ! Here’s hoping 🤞🏻☘️☘️

Hi ladies, I’m 5DPO. TTC#1 we’ve been trying for a long time, that I’ve lost count how many months it is. We’ve have fertility tests which have come back fine other than my thyroid which is under active. I’ve had a ultrasound scan this cycle so I know I’ve defiantly ovulated. AF due 31st March.

Here's to a bunch of Christmas babies🙏🤞🍀

Cycle #2 here!
Last month I was sooo certain the symptoms were there so this is me only just starting TWW. Told myself no early testing this cycle because last month I drove myself crazy!

@Rockape1992 I know! How can people actually do that 🙈😂

Our first month trying was December and it basically consumed me. It was awful how much I was thinking and testing. So I took the calm approach jan and feb as much as possible but then felt we didn't try as much as we could.

I'm back to it being my every thought again this month 🙈

@Soexciting yay let's hope so, I have everything crossed for us all 🤍
