Two Week Wait.

[sarahtom23]

Hey all,

So I've just entered the dreaded tww again. I finished ovulation yesterday so 1dpo today. I swear this two weeks is always the worst waiting around not know if this month it's happened or not.

Anyone else in the tww or just ovulated like me?

Hey op 👋 tww is always awful I'm 14dpo and had faint lines since Friday getting darker so hoping this is it for me after two mc in the last 6 months. I was part of a small ttc group on Facebook I can happily share the link, I'm still pet or it as I'm still not convinced this is really happening for me. I'll get the link and share there are so lovely ladies in there that have been wonderful support for me. I hope this two weeks flys by and you bet that bfp this month.

Thank you I'll definitely join and have a look see

Anytime my best advice Is to find things to distract yourself this next two weeks x

Thank you it's very hard to think about much else right now.

@sarahtom23 oh I hope you get your BFP for definite 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I was due to finish the tww tomorrow but AF decided to arrive without warning yesterday 😭😭😭
Pass any hints and tips this way please I'm exhausted now 😰xx

@sarahtom23 I am entering the dreaded 2ww, even after 10years of trying I still get hopeful this is the cycle!

How long have you been trying? 🤞🏻

@beanchopper17 hey let's hope this is both our months and we've been trying for over two years now but not luck. I've mc once at the beginning when we first started trying and got to 12 weeks we stopped trying for about 6month after the mc and then started again and each cycle has been a disappointment.

@GingerbreadTM sorry AF showed up hopefully let month is your month. How long have you been trying now ?

@sarahtom23 I feel your pain, in the 10years I have only been lucky enough to see a positive test once in 2019, but sadly lost at 7weeks, it's so hard. Glad you took some time to recover.

I have insulin resistant PCOS and under active thyroid, so there's been a lot of barriers, but hoping after some med/supplement changes I am having 2 cycles in a row the same length (that has never happened).

I really hope we both get some good news soon. Be nice to have someone to wait out the 2 weeks with, all my friends are bored of this process 😂

@beanchopper17 2019 was the same year it happened to us too. It's been a difficult journey and I'm sorry to hear you've been in a longer one too. How have you gotten by for so long any tips I feel depressed all the time. Especially in the tww I find I'm happy when we're trying and doing what I can but the waiting to know really get me down

@sarahtom23 being honest, I have had some terrible lows, especially since the loss. Hearing people's announcements makes me burst into tears and then dealing with jealousy and resentment (these are hard emotions to deal with, as I am not a jealous person). It's effected some friendships in my life, because people just wanted me to give up so I was 'normal' again.

However with the support of my partner, we have continued because it's so important to us. I keep trying to lose weight but my medical conditions and motivation makes it difficult 😕

Talking to people in similar situations helps, I am now talking to a counsellor which I highly recommend if the emotional struggle really starts to kick in.

Coming to the end of my 2ww now. Period expected in 4 days. Had a loss 6 months ago and every month negative is draining me. Every month I get all of these “symptoms” and I always hope for the best and get excited. Absolutely no symptoms this month at all but getting a heavyish feeling in my lower abdomen every now and then. Holding out for a surprise but will likely be disappointed again, 2ww is the worst 😩

@sarahtom23 sorry for the late reply I've took this week as a self care week with baths, Netflix and snacks 🙈
I've been trying from January, got a BFP in July but had a chemical pregnancy a week later 🥺 I skipped August to allow my body to have a cycle the back at it but no joy this month.

It's such a draining process I just don't know what I'm doing wrong 😑

I hope we all get our dream very soon ladies 🤞🏼🍀💫💞xx

@beanchopper17 I honestly feel you every time I see others get bfp and I don't it eats me up. I really wished I didn't feel like that as I'm normally so happy for people but as time goes by it's like why not me why can't i have a baby so I completely understand the feeling.

@Doolin93 welcome and hopefully AF doesn't come and this is your month. Have you been testing or just waiting it out ? Sorry to hear about your mc too this ttc is very hard physically and emotionally.

@GingerbreadTM glad you've had a self care week definitely think they are needed I think if this month is fail then I'll need one too. It's so hard to be positive when you feel crappy all the time with this.

The Facebook group that @ttcally19 shared seems nice I've been chatting to some lovely ladies in there so thank you for sharing. And I'm glad you got your bfp this month

@sarahtom23 I’m waiting this one out. Lost my mind altogether at the start of the month and got an angel card reading and that was hopeful so I’ve been trying not to stress and look at the positives. Only thing stopping me from testing is that the little boots I’ve ordered to announce to my husband haven’t arrived yet 🙈
If the 2ww is really getting to you then what helped me a lot was deleting period apps and getting off these threads. Try to spend less time on your phone and you can’t be googling stuff and driving yourself mad

@sarahtom23 your welcome it's been fabulous for me and al the ladies in the group are so supportive I really hope it helps you and that you get the news your after Xx

@Doolin93 I'm indecisive I know if I do one test I'll be testing everyday whereas if I don't and wait it out I feel better at not seeing so many negative tests

How are you all feeling ladies??xx

Temptation got the better of me yesterday and I ended up testing.. BFN. I’m feeling really deflated now, period due Thursday so hoping it was just too early to test. I don’t know what more I can do to better my chances

@Doolin93 it got the better of me to ive just done one this and you guessed it bfn I swear that just makes the worst of days.

Hope I may join. Currently 5dpo and on our 3rd month of trying.we used opks this month so hoping that has helped us a better chance. How is everyone else doing ?

How's everyone doing ?

Another bfn test for me this morning.

What about others ?

@sarahtom23 I appear to be ovulating this weekend so I'm going to be pestering the other half more than usual 🙈🤣 not that he'll mind.
I went to a comedy club last night and laughed that much my cheeks are still hurting today, I feel great today too which isn't normal for me lol

Sorry to hear about the BFN ladies, I hope we can all bring each other good luck and positive vibes 🍀💫xx
