2ww

[J90A]

Hey.

I am in the 2ww and struggling so much this time, much more than usual!! I'm only 5po ish. I feel so stressed and like time is going past so slow. I've even tested 🤦‍♀️ which I know it's far too early so don't know why I even done it 😂. I don't think it has worked this month I don't know why I just feel I know. Is anyone else in the wait?? How do you cope ? Xx

Hey, how is it going?

Hey, I’m also on the dreaded 2WW! it’s always the worst when you know there’s nothing you can do now. I’m so relieved there’s someone else feeling like me right now! I’ve got 1 week left and trying soooo hard not to think about it until 2nd Jan when AF is due but like you I always bloody test early and get so upset every time! The only distraction I can say is the fact it’s Xmas and being round lots of people is great to get through the days. Keep as busy as you can and enjoy Christmas I know easier said than done! Good luck 🤞🏻 xx

@Lozzza90 Hey. I'm 5dp5dt today. Also found christmas a good distraction, but now approaching my 'difficult days' of the TWW. Last time we tranfered I got my BFP 6dp (and then drove myself demented worrying about line progression and did indeed have a chemical pregnancy) so whilst I'm resolved not to do that to myself again, there is the little voice in the back of the head knowing that it is possible that I could test tomorrow and know (though I know a negative I'd feel shit and a positive I'd spend several days being demented testing every day, so I don't want to open pandoras box with testing early this time). Hold on in there - no good comes of testing early!

Hello @Easymeasy @Lozzza90 @2mumlife I have just seen these replies! I'm on clomid and had my ovulation confirmed early this month so it's been the longest 2 weeks ever!! I've been testing last few days even though I said I wouldn't 🤦‍♀️ I am 11 DPO and been getting BFNs so i feel like im out but obv can't relax about it until I get AF which is due between Wednesday and Friday. I've been pretty emotional the last few days so assuming that's PMS. Xx

I've tracked BBT for the first time this month this is my chart. Last month I didn't track enough days.

@J90A Its a long TWW when you actually need to wait the full 2 weeks (my TWW is only 10 days and thats bad enough!). You're not out until you're out though! I've never tracked BBT so can't offer comment on that, but maybe someone else can?

Ah I know it's so difficult but hang in there hun! I agree, I would always say you're not out until AF shows. There's such varied information out there saying people have got early and late BFP's. Perhaps it is just too early for you. What test are you using?

I've been going mad looking at symptoms and all the chats on here and I totally understand the stress of it all. I'm currently 8DPO so I'm trying to hang in there and not test at all but feel like I'm wishing my life away at the minute. Sorry I haven't done the temp thing, I started using the clear blue digital ovulation though and found that useful so far. What does it all mean? Xx

@Lozzza90 @2mumlife

Aw I know I am totally wishing my life away! I've been using internet cheapies but used a clear blue this morning as there more sensitive and I got this?! It has a line but only half? Not sure if you can see it on this pic cx

This one might loon clearer. Away to buy more tests. 🤦‍♀️ xx

Hi there,
We hope you don't mind, OP, but we're moving this to Conception because this type of thread fits better there. (Fingers crossed that test looks promising btw).

@HopeMumsnet ok thanks hope! Apologies I am getting infertility treatment so posted in here thanks for moving! Xx

@J90A have you got a FRER test? They are the most reliable.
I'm also in the 2ww. Blood test is Thursday but I have been getting positives since 6dp5dt. Currently 11dp5dt.

@Easymeasy I went to shops and got a FRER which was negative. Xx

That does look promising hun! I would defo get another one for peace of mind though. Please keep us posted! Fingers crossed for you!! Xx

P.s Im so sorry if I posted on the wrong thread here! I didn't realise as I was just madly googling for people on their 2ww and had to write back to you :) I am not too sure where I sit "category wise" at the minute as it's all new to me still and we had to start and stop over the last year or so xx

Hi, do you mind if i join? I'm in the 2WW and it's dragging!! It's the worst few weeks. I'm due Sunday and already feel like I'm out...again.

@Pinkmini21 of course not! I'm also due Sunday as well! Its so painful this waiting game! I'm itching to test but just holding out and trying to keep busy. I felt really positive yesterday for some reason but today I feel so down about it all.

How comes you feel like you're out already? Xx

I had pink tinges to my CM sorry for the detail on day 8/10/11 and today. But it's a little more today so I've just got this feeling. We've been trying for over a year! Waiting tests but I have mild cramps which I've had more and more over the last few days. I tested yesterday and it was negative. But could have been too early x

@J90A Strongly recommend you use FRER rather than clear blue, particularly when testing early.

@Easymeasy Fingers crossed for a good beta result.

I'm also feeling out. The only BFP I had (which was a chemical) I got implantation bleeding 6dp5dt and had nothing. I'm 7dp5dt and feeling no symptoms etc only thing unusual is the worlds hugest spot developing on my chin. Trying to stay positive until OTD on Friday but I've lost the ability to imagine it working out to be honest.

@J90A which FRER ones do you recommend? I don't plan on testing now until Friday...whether I do or not is another thing x

@Pinkmini21 I done another clear blue was negative as was first response. 😢 I though it was rare to get a false positive

@J90A 😢could it be too early? I was ready about the rates that hcg increases. Although I still feel I tested to early, I don't hold out a lot of hope x

Hi all! I’m also in the TWW. Not quite sure exactly when I ovulated as recently came off the pill but CD1 was December 8 so I’m assuming around 19-24 December. AF is due Jan 4/6 for me… first time ttc for us at 31 so not feeling hopeful but have fingers crossed for myself & all of you too

@J90A Clear Blue are notorious for line-eyes - generally consensus is pink dyes is better than blye dye for not getting up false hopes

@Pinkmini21 If you're going to test early use first response - I was still getting a line on them when my blood hcg was 5 at the end of my chemical pregnancy. But BE AWARE because they pick up such low levels you can get a 'positive' thats really just a chemical pregnancy. This is why I've sworn never to test early again

Yeah I get that. I have been using the Clear Blue Advanced digital hormone tracker. As I had an ovary removed in October so wanted to check everything was working and the advanced measures estrogen too. I'm not going to test until Friday I do have some FRER ones in my draw but it's not worth the heart ache. If I convince myself that I'm not anything else is bonus xx
