8 DOP - the waiting!

Hey. I'm not sure of the point of this thread really but I suppose I just need to talk. I'm bang in the middle of the two week wait and I'm driving myself crazy! I don't know if I'm seeing symptoms that are all in my head, honestly this waiting is making me obsessed. Tell me I'm not alone! I can't really talk to anyone as no one knows we're trying, and my partner is the most laid back and patient person I know (total opposite of me!)
How are you guys in limbo doing?

@20viona congratulations! Sounds like it isn't much of a surprise. Hope it is a sticky one and all goes okay in the coming weeks. X

20viona · 14/01/2022 06:49

@ERachD thanks. I got complete negative yesterday on the cheapie yesterday remember so don't give up yet :)

20viona · 14/01/2022 06:49

@FlyOnTheWall89 I had a miscarriage last month and I had all the same symptoms in the run up to that pregnancy too. Feel like I'm quite in tune with my body at the moment.

Carinae20 · 14/01/2022 07:23

@20viona congratulations!

@ERachD fingers crossed it’s positive tomorrow as you said it’s still early x

Coastaldreamer · 14/01/2022 07:57

@20viona congratulations that's a great line!!

@ERachD you're not out till AF shows x

Bexxe · 14/01/2022 08:12

That’s exactly how I felt, was convinced AF was going to show up any day - uterus felt ‘full’ and ‘swollen’ - still feel like that now!! then got the faintest line at 13DPO, barely visible.

Attached is this morning, 15DPO - don’t give up hope! Your not out until AF shows, have everything crossed for you! Xx

@Bexxe thank you so much, that's made me feel a lot better. Wow look at that line! Congratulations! It's great to see some BFPs in here Thanks

13dpo today and I can see the faintest of faint lines on the pink FR test! Even my phone camera won't pick it up so I'll test again tomorrow. Wish me luck!! How are you all getting on?

YEN1 · 15/01/2022 04:55

@ERachD fingers crossed for you. 11dpo for me and BFN, giving up hope as have no symptoms at all.

ERachD · 15/01/2022 05:14

@YEN1 so many ladies don't experience any symptoms, you're definitely not out yet! And 11dpo is still very early for a positive. I read somewhere that on day 14 you're 11 times more likely to have a positive. Hold out for that day 14 and wishing you loads of luck x

@ERachD how exciting fingers crossed!

cheeseandbiscuitsplz · 15/01/2022 07:32

Hey can I join! Looks like some lovely BFPs here 🥰 I am about 10 DPO, not feeling much although my boobs have had some tenderness and I've got back ache quite low down, could be unrelated though. My gums have started to become swollen, which is something I noticed in my previous pregnancies, but could be coincidence! Hard to not make it all fit 😅
Scared to test, feels like a long wait until AF. Is due which isn't until next week.
We are TTC number 2, I sadly had a late loss back in September 😔 good luck all xx

ERachD · 15/01/2022 07:37

@cheeseandbiscuitsplz apparently gum sensitivity is an indicator! It all sounds very promising. This two weeks is absolute torture isn't it!

Hi everyone, please can I join as well?

I'm a bit of a later one than you all - I'm only 5DPO - we're on our 3 cycle of TTC our second. Our first passed away unexpectedly a couple of weeks before he turned 10 months. That was 4 months ago, so a massive mix of emotions right now, especially as we fell for him on our first cycle!

I was super chilled when we were trying first time, I don't think I'd even heard of tests you could do 6 days early! This time round I'm trying ever so hard not to get obsessed!

Massive congrats one all the BFPs Smile xxx

ERachD · 15/01/2022 09:22

@GPLady of course you can, welcome in!

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine the pain you must be in x

GPLady · 15/01/2022 09:26

Thank you so much ❤ He wasn't at home, it's all been a lot to handle but we're getting through xxx

ERachD · 15/01/2022 09:39

@GPLady it's so hard not to obsess at this stage in a cycle, but I hope you can enjoy this part as much as possible. Just think in a couple of weeks we'll all know for sure!

Morning Ladies

Can I join? I think I’m 7/8 DPO today TTC baby #1 and our first cycle. We started last year but moved house and OH moved jobs so we felt like we would wait until 2022. Yesterday I felt exhausted and had terrible cramps today i feel fine. So maybe yesterday symptoms where just after a long week at work! God I had the wait. When is best to test?

ERachD · 15/01/2022 10:07

@Timetobeamummy congrats on the move and hubbys new job! I started this thread at 8dpo because I was driving myself insane haha, it's torture this waiting! I'm now on 13dpo and had an EXTREMELY faint line so I would say wait until the day AF is due to save yourself any extra unnecessary stress xx

OP posts:
Timetobeamummy · 15/01/2022 10:15

@ERachD congratulations!! I see your testing again tomorrow so fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

I had covid 4 weeks ago and I still have symptoms long covid unfortunately so I’m worried that’s confusing me with symptoms. This weekend I need to keep myself busy to keep my mind playing games on me with every ache or twinge!

GPLady · 15/01/2022 10:18

That's a really good way of looking at it! Either way we'll know...Good chilled attitude lol xxx

Bexxe · 15/01/2022 11:58

What a lovely supportive thread this is!

@ERachD Yey congrats!!!! I’m so so happy for you Grin
