2WW. AF due 7/1

[Em2210]

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!

Xx

@MrsYan my fingers are crossed for you that AF does not show up and you get your BFP 🤞🏼 x

Hello @MrsYan, I have my fingers crossed for you! Let us know how you get on

@MrsYan aw baby dust to you!

@MrsYan handhold coming your way! Fingers crossed for your positive soon x

Fellow BFPs, is anyone else feeling crampy? I have a dull twingy ache in my lower abdomen, it feels a bit like before AF arrives but different if that makes any sense? I’m so worried each time I go to the loo in case AF has appeared

@PointyMcguire now I know it's a BFP aim
Worried about every twinge - funny how it goes from hopeful to petrified! I'm def cramping and pinching.

@MrsYan MASSIVE handhold for you! Good luck ✨✨✨

Congrats on the bfps! I was so happy to see this pics.

I'm 8dpo and I've been incredibly busy since going back to work yesterday I've hardly had time to think! Its helping in a way for me not to symptom spot but this waiting is still hard! Due AF on the 11th and yet I feel exactly like the week before it's due so I'm not holding out hope 🥺

@Doodledeedum so sorry you’re going through the same, but I’m going to try and take comfort that if we’re both experiencing it it must be somewhat normal, at least that’s what I’m hoping! But yes, every tweak or twinge I’m like WTF does this mean?!

@PointyMcguire tbh with both previous pregnancies I had cramps all
Around time I was due and just after

It's the ones that could come later I'm more concerned about now as after two MMC im going to panic constantly

@Doodledeedum I’m so sorry to hear of your MMCs, and totally understand your panic after going through that. I’m a first timer so have absolutely no idea what is or isn’t normal, apparently the stuff I learnt in school 20+ years ago has done nothing to prepare me for actual pregnancy

@PointyMcguire TBH I hate this line but 'no two pregnancies are the same' and it's true
Each of mine have been diff
Each time I've fallen, each time I've progressed
Everything. So even if I say - it won't make a difference- BUT to ease you. I DO think it's normal to cramp. I even 'warm up' down around my pelvic area. I think they are burrowing right on in there!!! That's how I like to view it!

@Doodledeedum that’s a really great way of looking at it. Thank you!

@Shiny88 @Sassy144 @PointyMcguire @Dreamer30 @Doodledeedum thank you all so much... I need to just do a test don't I, I am running to the loo every 30 seconds checking if AF has turned up 😂 at least my steps for the day are going up! xx

@MrsYan oh how exciting!

My test this morning is fainter than yesterday's at 3pm :( is this what happens with a chemical? I know I'm only 11dpo so it's early days but I'm panicking. Had a MC in May and eptopic in June and I'm really praying for this wee bean to stick :(

@Dreamer30 do you always test that late in the day? Different amount of water intake could effect you?

My line progression isn't looking great.... I've not had a chemical before.... the strip looks marginally darker but my FR is marginally fainter .... not good is it ? 😞

@Doodledeedum I always test in the morning, yesterday was the first time I tested in the afternoon. I've read some women get darker in the afternoon but who knows.

Oh I'm not sure, FR has mixed reviews! I see a lot of women saying they never got a dark line on them then some get dye stealers. How many dpo are you? This ttc is such a worry!

@Dreamer30 Oh I do same time each day to be sure. But you could be right!
I'll have to see tomorrow.... the strips are odd - not like any I've had before and the FR - I'd have expected to get a Sadler or same look, I don't want to get my hopes up but I want to be positive. Go figure!
I hope youre ok too. Such a roller coaster...

10dpo and another BFN this morning I have some FRER’s arriving today. Going to test again in the morning and if it’s another BFN then I think I’m out …

@Doodledeedum @Dreamer30 don't panic, they say you shouldn't test every day as the pregnancy hormone doubles every two days. I would wait a couple of days and then retest.

But then I am the queen of not testing- officially late and I haven't tested still. I'm such a wimp lol x

I have restrained myself, it’s really hard! I’m now 2 days late and 15dpo… not trying to get my hopes up as I’m on CD29 now and this was the day AF arrived last month, me and my partner are really hoping it doesn’t come🤞🏼

@Doodledeedum @Chlo1995 I know it’s easier said than done but try not to worry. I find testing so stressful so decided yesterday I wouldn’t test again until Friday when AF is due in the hope the CB monitor finally picks it up 🤞🏻

@Chlo1995 fingers crossed AF doesn’t show today 🤞🏻

@PointyMcguire I’m very impressed I’ve not actually tested this month yet as I would’ve probably tested at least 3/4 times by now, decided to stop all testing because it’s just added stress… we’ll just see what happens and hopefully everything works out the way we’re hoping!🤞🏼
