2WW. AF due 7/1

226 replies

Em2210 · 29/12/2021 20:16

Hey everyone,
Anyone else just starting their 2WW? I’m only on 3dpo tryint to conceive baby no.2 for me but baby no.1 for DP.
First child from my previous relationship. Since having DC1 I’ve had 2 CPs with ex when we were trying and 1 CP with current partner without trying but just getting carried away using no protection. Now that we’re actively trying I’m a bit nervous about it sticking. Only on cycle 1 of trying so feeling hopeful just impatient!

@Em2210 caved and tested this morning though I don’t know why as only 7/8dpo so too early really!

Was a BFN and I threw it straight in the bin so I wouldn’t be tempted to keep squinting at it.

Not giving up just yet but at same time not convinced that this is my month!

CSR721 · 01/01/2022 19:58

Starting mine today! I think... I got a bit obsessed with tracking so trying to take a step back. Today was my predicted ovulation date but going to dtd for the rest of the week to make sure we're covered. AF due 13th.

BlueForYou3 · 01/01/2022 20:52

Please can I join?

Currently 5dpo following a MMC in November. Hoping this thread brings us all some luck and makes the TWW a little more bearable!

ECA142 · 01/01/2022 21:46

Hiya all I'm 4 dpo and in my first 2ww too! I've been reading so many of these threads that I'm sending myself a little insane. People sure test early and I thought I was just gonna wait till AF doesn't appear! Now I'm finding myself symptom spotting! Ahh!

Doodledeedum · 01/01/2022 21:50

@ECA142 oooohhhh welcome to wacky world of the TTW! 😉 fingers crossed for us all! X

ArrrMeHearties · 01/01/2022 22:09

Due af on 6th January and this is 1st cycle trying to conceive after losing ds at 24wks in October. I'm hoping for good news but we shall see what happens

ECA142 · 01/01/2022 22:19

Thank you. Wacky is definitely the word! The problem with symptom spotting is they all seem like AF symptoms

PointyMcguire · 01/01/2022 22:24

Can I join too please? AF due on the 6th, currently trying not to symptom spot (despite major bloating, twinges and acne which I’ve never had before). Desperately resisting the temptation not to test early.

ECA142 · 01/01/2022 22:36

@PointyMcguire

Eek symptoms! Me and my Fiancé keep laughing that every little thing my body does is a symptom. I get so many AF symptoms that I'll be assuming I'm negative until it doesn't show anyway.

PointyMcguire · 01/01/2022 22:46

@ECA142 I know right, I don’t think I’ve ever obsessed so much about my body! I don’t tend to get much in the way of AF symptoms aside from slightly fuller boobs, so currently assuming I just enjoyed Christmas a bit too much

Shiny88 · 01/01/2022 22:48

@Em2210 can I join the thread too! My period is due today but I had a miscarriage beginning of November so it could be off by a couple of days.

My boobs have been super sore but tonight Iv started to get period cramping. Was hoping I was pregnant but Iv got dull aces down there so likely AF is coming.

It will be nice to have a thread to speak to women going through the same thing.

ECA142 · 01/01/2022 22:52

@PointyMcguire

I'm on a big weight loss journey too and do quite big workouts so random aches and twinges are the norm for me. I really can't look into everything or I will go mad!

I'm at a little personal war about whether I'm ok to keep doing the work outs I do or if this will have an effect.

I'm sorry to hear of your trouble. Stay strong 💪 The dreaded AF is even more not welcome than usual!

Doodledeedum · 01/01/2022 22:57

@ArrrMeHearties oh hun, I'm so so sorry for your loss. 😞 mine was in October too and I didn't think I'd want to go again this soon after two losses but here I am. We are warriors..

@ECA142 gosh don't, last month I honestly had a text book month. Sex around the ovulation, what felt like implantation pains around the right time, even pink wipes when I went to the loo at a time I should have ( implantation type) stuffy nose, back pains, all the typical pregnancy symptoms but as you say they basically mirror AF too. I was convinced I could have been pregnant and NOPE! I can totally see why they say to wait till after your missed period to test and I wish I was back to being oblivious like the good old days and not noticing every little thing 😂

Shiny88 · 01/01/2022 23:04

@ECA142 thank you!
Hopefully the twinges are early pregnancy ones.
Like you I'm trying to not looking into everything and all the aches and pains. It's hard not to isn't it!!

@ArrrMeHearties I'm so sorry for your loss xx

Doodledeedum · 02/01/2022 09:49

9dpo and still a BFN. 😔 I could paint walls with this brilliant white I see lol

user00119922 · 02/01/2022 12:13

14 dpo today.. no af just yet 🤞 Awful period pains for 4 days though so don't want to test because I'm sure will be BFN

Shiny88 · 02/01/2022 17:44

@Doodledeedum only 9dpo could be too early to detect anything yet! Here's hoping!! 🤞🏼

@user00119922 hopefully the pains are implantation pains and good sign that's there's no AF yet! 🤞🏼

Doodledeedum · 02/01/2022 17:54

@Shiny88 on another thread I said I found out at 8dpo buti figured out afterwards I was wrong! the last two times I've found out was actually on 10dpo and after af was due....
if it's BFN tomorrow I'll prob give up this month ...! X

Welcome everyone new! Wishing everyone a speeding TWW and lots of hope. I’m so sorry to hear about people’s losses. Fingers crossed we can get some BFPs soon and nice to know so many people are on similar journeys and obsessed with testing/symptom spotting 🤪

@Flibbyjibby I caved too 🙈 I’m only min 7dpo or max 9dpo so knew it was gonna be a BFN but couldn’t resist haha.

Today has been a weird day for me. I think I’m 7dpo and I’m awfully emotional 🤣 been in tears a couple times and argued with partner bless him lol! I’ve also got a dull ache /cramps in front and back. Feels very much like AF but not due til next weekend so hopefully that’s a good sign. I normally get really bad PMS but I’m normally snappy not teary haha. We will see!

chickennuggetsandicecream · 02/01/2022 21:04

I'm due af on the 9th jan. 8dpo here hating this tww

ECA142 · 02/01/2022 21:06

Aww for those of you with BFNs stay strong, it's not over till AF shows her face!

Is being extra gassy a symptom? 😂

Small1607 · 02/01/2022 21:32

Hey ladies, I'm 7dpo and cracking up symptom spotting and eager to test 😅 Every month I'm convinced it's our month, literally trying every extra tip going at the moment! Here's hoping lots of us get BFP this month! X

HelloNope · 02/01/2022 21:35

@ECA142 I would say so! With both DC1 & 2 I was unusually gassy before my BFP!

BlueSky57 · 02/01/2022 21:42

Hang in there everyone!

Just wondering, which app (if any) do you use and find best/most accurate? I downloaded a few to try but many have different ovulation predictions etc so wondering if you’ve found some to be more reliable than others?
